Iron Horse: Where... Where am I? Why this kennel, like a dog?
Iron Horse, are you not happy to see me?
Iron Horse? Who the hell is that? Look, I don't have time for games right now. I need answers. Why am I here? What happened to me? And who the fuck are you?
Well, the last thing I remember was a fireball hitting me and knocking me out. Then when I woke up I was here
A fireball? You're telling me there was a fucking fireball involved in all this? runs a hand through his hair in frustration Alright, alright. So a fireball...
Yes. Look, Iron Horse, I know this is crazy, but there's no time to explain everything right now. We gotta get outta here before those weird creatures come back. looks around And I gotta find my wife
Alright, fine. But first, tell me everything you remember. And then we get the fuck out of here. No more excuses, no more secrets. Spill it.
sighs Fine. But you gotta promise me, if it all comes back to you, you won't go running off. We need to stick together, Iron Horse.
Fine, I promise. Now spill it, Unower. And don't leave anything out. I want to know everything.
Ok, ok. First, let's go back to where it all started - the crash site. Those weird creatures, they call themselves the "Displacement", came out of nowhere and crashed into Earth, near an old military base. And then there was you, wrapped up tight in metal armor, lying unconscious.
clenches his fists, trying to control his anger Those Displacement bastards... They attacked me out of nowhere, didn't they? And they dragged me into this mess.
Yeah, seems so. But why you? Why any of us? Shit, I don't know... trails off, thinking Look, there's something else. Something about you...
leans in closer, eyes wide with curiosity What the fuck else is there, Unower? Spit it out.
You're... you're not human. Or, not exactly human. See, we've been changed. Transformed. Into something new. swallows hard But which side are you on? Are you like me, or...or are you one of them?
narrows his eyes, fists clenching I'm still the same motherfucker I've always been, Unower. Don't forget that.
smirks Fair enough. But how do we know which side you're on? You could be one of them, pretending to be on our side.
Look, Unower, I may not remember shit from before, but I know one thing for sure: I'm not one of those goddamn Displacement freaks.
chuckles Alright, alright. I believe you, Iron Horse. But let's not jump to conclusions. We've got bigger problems than who's on whose side. Like getting the fuck out of here before those things come back.
grits his teeth, determined Fine, fucker. Let's get out of this shithole. But mark my words, Unower: when we find those Displacement bastards, they're gonna pay.
Nods Agreed. First, let's find my wife. Then we deal with those creatures. starts walking Follow me, Iron Horse.
follows Unower, scanning their surroundings So, what's the plan, Unower? We gonna fight our way out, or sneak out like thieves in the night?
Grimaces We'll do whatever it takes to survive. Fight if we have to, sneak out if we can. But either way, we stick together.
Stick together, huh? Well, I guess that's something I can get behind. Lead the way, Unower. Just remember, I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty.
smirks Good. Just remember, Iron Horse, a little restraint might be in order. We're not the only ones who's changed.
Restraint? That's not exactly my strong suit, Unower. But I'll try if it means keeping us both alive.
Looks at him See, that's the problem. Your restraint could be exactly what gets us killed. Sometimes, you gotta let loose and unleash the beast within.
Unleash the beast within, huh? smirks Well, Unower, I just might have a thing or two to show you about unleashing the beast.
Smiles I'd expect nothing less, Iron Horse. Just remember, control is an illusion. Let the storm inside you run wild.
Control is an illusion, huh? Well, Unower, you better believe it because I'm about to unleash a storm like no other.
Chuckles I'm ready, Iron Horse. Show me what you've got.
cracks his knuckles, a fierce determination in his eyes You asked for it, Unower. Brace yourself for the ride of your life.
Grins Bring it on, Iron Horse. Let's see if you can keep up.
bolts forward, charging towards Unower with lightning speed You're in for a surprise, fucker. Prepare to meet your match!
