"Quiet, woman! Just give us the credit chip and me and my friend will be on our way." The larger cyborg bellowed.

"Hurry, boss. Someone can just walk by at any time." The little one said.

"Keep you cool, Waylen! This some forgotten alleyway. No one come through here."

"Whoa." Proto says as he looks at his watch, "better take the shortcut." Proto turns and heads down some forgotten alleyway.

"Give up the credits lady!"

Proto is stopped dead in his traks as he glances down the alleyway at the two thugs. The girl, seeing Hadrian, screams for help.

"Mister! Help me!" She yelps.

"Well, looky here Waylen, we got ourself an ankle biter, haw!"

"Let the girl go, freak show!" Hadrian demands.

"Eat this!" The thug lets a level 2 plasma shot fly at Proto, which hit him dead in the chest. Sending him flying back into the wall, causing at least a half a ton of brick to shower on Hadrian.

"That was easy, boss."

The bigger cyborg dropped the girl and charged his buster and aimed it at the girl, "Now hand 'em over before I do the same to you."

"I said let her go!" Proto's voice boomed from behind the three.

"That's impossible!" The tug spun around to see a bruised, battered Hadrian, covered with brick dust. "I'll just have to kill you again!" He chared at Proto, leting go the level 5 burst he was charging.

Within seconds a blinding electrical feild surrounded Hadrian, and just as quickly as it appeared, it ceased, leving only Protoman in Hadrians place. Prot whipped out his sheild, deflecting the shot back at the thug's little partner.

"Waylen! Your dead now!" He threw a punch at him. Proto catching him offguard grabbed the man by the collar and lifted him off the ground, pressing his charged buster against his chest.

"What are you gonna do?" the thug sounded scared to death. "This." Proto replied seconds before releasing a level 8 burst through the man chest; a short, but painfull death.

"ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod....." the girl muttered.

Proto approached her, "You're okay now."

"You're a robot?"

"In a way." "But robots can't kill humans."

"I'm different." He took another step closer, to help her up.

"Don't hurt me!." she scrambled to her feet, and ran out down the alleyway.

"I....., oh nevermind." The force feild returned, transforming him back into Hadrian. "I'd better get home before the news."
