Adam was once again sitting on his hoverbike that was parked slightly down the street from the Skull Rose nightclub, only this time he was wearing his anti-gravity armour and had his new weapons attached to his back.
The anti-gravity armour came with the helpful feature of magnetising a small section on its back to allow the wearer to attach weapons there so that they didn't need shoulder straps to carry them.
"Well, time to get the party started." Adam said as he swung himself off the hoverbike."
[[Affirmative]]
[[Launching stream.]]
[[Stream description below:]]
[[Stream Title: Exact revenge against those who targeted your friend]]
[[Mission Parameters: The Skull Rose gang that runs sector eight six eight of the lower city launched an attack on Becky's with the intention to capture Stacey Sinclair. It is assumed that Max Parks hired them to capture her after seeing how close you two were at Becky's.]]
[[Missions Goal: Eliminate as many of the Skull Rose gang as you wish while investigating why they tried to capture Stacey.]]
[Forever1stCommenter (Earth): First.]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Oh yeah, here we go, and it looks like the streamer has some new weapons.]
[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): They're definitely an upgrade to the blaster he normally uses, but I can't quite tell what they are.]
[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): One looks like a scattergun while the other appears to be an automatic blaster, though I'm unsure of which right now.]
[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): They shouldn't have messed with the streamer's girl.]
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Speaking of his girl, what exactly were you two up to at Becky's to upset this Max guy so much? Kekeke.]
[OrangeeyedStace (Trillion): Wait, are you seriously going straight in through the front door?]
[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): Speaking of his girl.]
Adam continued to approach the Skull Rose nightclub, and soon his appearance attracted the attention of those queuing to get in and the bouncers on the door who looked at him suspiciously.
Adam ignored the stairs and reached behind him to grab hold of the Midnight automatic blaster, and as he did so, his tail materialised from his antigravity armour and started to sway dangerously.
The two bouncers realised what he was doing too late, just as they had placed their hands on their own blasters, Adam had already pulled the trigger twice, setting off two three-round bursts.
The Terrans and aliens alike in the queue screamed and dived for cover as six bolts of red energy flew towards the bouncers, with three hitting each one square in the chest and causing them to keel over dead.
The clubgoers screamed in panic and started to flee away from the club, but Adam ignored them and entered through the front door.
[DobbyL (Darah 5): Not the most subtle entrance.]
[NewManagment (Strathorp 6): I don't think he was going for subtlety.]
[Banguela007 (Vinox 3): Yeah, I mean his stream mission wants him to eliminate as many of the Skull Rose gang as possible.]
[[Notification: [Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Has initiated a stream betting pool]]
[[Stream betting pool: How many Skull Rose gang members will the streamer eliminate?]]
[[Winnings Breakdown: 1st Place: 100%]]
As the notification regarding the stream betting pool appeared in the chat, a kill counter appeared at the bottom right corner of the stream.
[[Kill Count: 2]]
[Banguela007 (Vinox 3): Oh, now we're talking.]
💫💫💫
"BOSS WE HAVE A PROBLEM" The assistant at one of Earth's streaming platforms, who was in charge of keeping an eye on the streamer called Spector, shouted in panic as he ran into the room.
"What has he done now? Was streaming copyrighted music not enough? That license cost us a shit ton."
"His viewers have started a betting pool on how many gang members the streamer can eliminate."
"WHAT!" The boss said in alarm, "As if his killing people live on stream wasn't enough, now his viewers can bet and win money from him doing it?"
💫💫💫
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Aww man, that's fucked up, I want to bet on this.]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Same, I call it favouritism.]
[Sparesomechangebro (Earth): Fuck, I could have made some mad change from this.]
[Justiceistruth: (Earth): I'm not sure betting on how many he kills is appropriate, this isn't a game after all.]
[Superhearofangirl (Earth): I agree.]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): You're right, what sort of game has this level of graphics and realism?]
[Justiceistruth: (Earth): …]
[Superhearofangirl (Earth): …]
[[Notification: [Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Has issued you a Stream quest]]
[[Stream Quest: Will you accept my quest now to destroy the drug packaging plant and drugs?]]
[[Completion Reward: 10,000 Credits.]]
[[Failure Punishment: Destroy 10 drug dens on Trillion.]]
[[Would you like to accept?]]
"This time I accept," Adam said as he walked down the hallway towards the main room of the club.
[[Stream Quest Accepted.]]
As Adam entered the main hall, he found it to still be alive with thumping music that people were dancing to on the dance floor; if they weren't dancing, they were drinking, sniffing or smoking something or eating each other's faces.
"Time to clear out," Adam muttered as he raised his automatic blaster at the DJ booth that hung on the wall at the far end of the room above the dancefloor before switching it to automatic mode and pulling the trigger.
Red blaster bolts flew over people's heads before impacting the DJ booth, making it rattle and shake as the bolts tore through it and destroyed it, along with killing the DJ.
As the music stopped, the people wondered what had happened before everyone heard a loud bang as the DJ booth fell from the back wall and landed on some poor individuals who had been sitting beneath it.
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Oh damn, squashed like a pancake.]
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): I guess the streamer didn't like the DJ's music. Kekeke]
[Wikkr (Earth):The kill count didn't change.]
[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): I guess they weren't gang members.]
[Justiceistruth: (Earth): You just killed innocents, streamer.]
[HackerSu (Trillion): Trust me when I say there are no innocents in this club.]
"Opps," Adam said offhandedly without caring much as people wondered what happened.
"CLEAR OUT," Adam yelled as he fired a three-round burst above people's heads to get their attention while moving away from the door he had entered through.
Once the club goers realised that someone had managed to enter the club with a blaster and was actively firing it off, they all quickly made a beeline for the exit.
The club staff members and security, however, quickly pulled out their weapons and tried to aim at Adam; however, the panicking and rushing crowd made it impossible, so they had to slowly try to make their way over to him.
"Highlight targets," Adam instructed as he returned his Midnight automatic blaster to his back before grabbing the Night Stalker plasma scattergun.
[[Affirmative.]]
As Spector responded, a red glow appeared around the Skull Rose gang members on Adam's HUD and the stream.
[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): Ohh, the AI is highlighting targets for him, nice.]
[Whostolemyduck (Earth): Is that not normal?]
[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): It's generally something only seen by security and military forces as criminals don't normally care about casualties.]
[Justiceistruth: (Earth): From what he has shown so far, the streamer doesn't seem to care about them either.]
[MerceadAnderson (Palaxia): Casualties are expected in any war, at least he's highlighting the targets to limit the number of casualties, many mercs and bounty hunters wouldn't bother to do that.]
Adam moved through the fleeing crowd, approaching the nearest gang member who was highlighted. The gang member was surprised when he came face to face with Adam, but before he could do anything, Adam had already raised his scattergun and pulled the trigger.
Red hot plasma erupted from the end and hit the gang member's chest, causing him to scream in pain and collapse to the floor, and he rolled in agony.
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Doesn't have much kick for a shotgun.]
[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): It's a scattergun, and it looks like he didn't prime it; that's why the gang member wasn't blown backwards.]
[Ayato_Kanzaki (Earth): Why does it look like he's burning instead of bleeding from being riddled with holes?]
[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): The streamers scattergun appears to be a plasma scattergun, not a ballistic one. It fires red-hot plasma that burns and melts even tough metals, let alone flesh.]
"Hmmm, now let's see how it performs when I prime it," Adam said as he pumped the handle on the scattergun's base before heading for the next gang member.
As he came face to face with the next gang member while using the crowd for cover and aimed the scattergun at the gang members chest, he pulled the trigger and far more red hot plasma erupted with far greater force than before that made the gang member launch into the air and fly backwards screaming in pain and crash into those behind him who quickly caught fire as well.
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Ohhh, collateral damage. Kekeke]
[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): Please mind your aim streamer.]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): His aim was fine; it was the 'kick' that gunlovergirl was asking about.]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Mmmm, juicy, I'm starting to get wet again.]
