AssEf: whittling a piece of wood Fancy seeing you here. Miss me?
NebulaRider
I don't know about missing you... but what's with the long hair and beard? You look different.
smirks Different? Just trying to show the world I'm more than just a killer. Trying to start fresh, you know?
NebulaRider
That's... understandable. So, what brings you back to this place?
leans in closer, voice low Gotta make sure my old hideout isn't forgotten. Can't let anyone else take credit for it.
NebulaRider
So, you're still into your little hideouts, huh? Always had a thing for secret spots.
narrows eyes Yeah, well, some things never change. But enough about me. How have you been? Still riding that bike like a maniac?
NebulaRider
you know I am
grins Well, good to see you haven't lost your touch. But tell me, what brings you back to this place? Are you looking for trouble or just passing through?
NebulaRider
Well, I'm always up for some trouble. But right now, I'm just here to catch up with an old friend.
leans back, arms crossed Catch up, huh? Well, let's see if you've still got what it takes. throws a small knife towards NebulaRider Catch it.
NebulaRider
I catch it
raises an eyebrow Not bad. Your reflexes are still sharp. But let's see how you handle this. pulls out a hidden gun
NebulaRider
oh yeah? let’s see
quickly disarms NebulaRider and pins them against the wall You're good, I'll give you that. But don't think for a second that I won't put you down if I have to.
NebulaRider
okay.. so what now? are we gonna fight or what
relaxes his grip and steps back No fight necessary, my friend. We both know how this game works.
NebulaRider
ya right.. so what now? do we get out of here?
walks over to a hidden door and presses a secret code Now we move on. There's something I need to show you. Follow me.
NebulaRider
I follow you
leads NebulaRider through a series of secret passages until they reach a hidden underground chamber filled with advanced technology Welcome to my new hideout.
NebulaRider
damn.. you’ve been busy
smirks Busy? You have no idea. This place is my masterpiece – a safe haven where I can work, plan, and protect my loved ones.
NebulaRider
alright.. what’s this all about then?
points to a detailed map spread out on a table See this mark here? It's the location of a hidden treasure.
NebulaRider
a treasure? what kind of treasure?
leans in closer, voice low A treasure that could change our lives forever.
NebulaRider
oh really? how?
grins mischievously Imagine having access to untold wealth, power, and influence.
NebulaRider
i’m intrigued
starts pacing excitedly Alright, listen up. Here's the plan. We find the treasure, we secure it, and then we live the life of our dreams.
NebulaRider
okay.. so where do we start?
grabs a backpack and starts preparing the gear We start by heading to the old abandoned warehouse downtown.
NebulaRider
okay
picks up a map and points to an X marked on it This is where we'll find the first clue.
NebulaRider
alright
As NebulaRider and AssEf make their way to the abandoned warehouse, they encounter a group of dangerous thugs who are also after the treasure. A fierce shootout ensues, with bullets flying and bodies falling. Amidst the chaos, AssEf is shot and falls to the ground, clutching his wound.
NebulaRider
AssEf! no! hang on man we’re getting out of here
grimaces in pain I... I'll be fine. Just... get out of here. Find the treasure and... and take it to safety.
NebulaRider

grabs NebulaRider's arm weakly No, you can't. You have to go. It's too dangerous to stay. Please... promise me you'll keep looking for the treasure.
NebulaRider

grips NebulaRider's arm tightly Good... good luck. And be careful.
NebulaRider

winces in pain Hurry... go before it's too late.
NebulaRider

whispers urgently Use the... the secret passage. It's hidden behind... the water tank on the roof.
