No Straight Roads: Heroes of Symphony

Chapter 2: First Encounter

Arriving at the stairs of their base, they met Gigi who would be resting with her back against the wall while exhaling several times, as if she had run away from something.

Mayday: Gigi, oh my God! What happened to you?! -I look worried when I see who she thought was Zuke's friend-

Zuke: Your clothes... -He would say, showing herself with open eyes towards what was left of the clothes of who she thought was Mayday's friend-

The purple-skinned man looked almost deplorable, his clothes were dirty and somewhat torn as if someone or several people tried to drag him by force and his dark glasses had some notable fractures.

Gigi: H-Hey guys -He said now calmly as he greeted them with style, pointing his index fingers towards both rockers- What's up?

Mayday: What do we tell? What do you say, what happened to you?! *I point to the Gigi outfits*

Gigi: Oh this... *Looks at his torn clothes* hehe, well, let's say a trio of little pink guys grabbed me by surprise and tried to drag me to hit me, but I managed to resist and escape -I would say showing a smile-

Zuke: Man... I'm glad you did, wait, did you say Pink Guys? -I ask with a look of doubt and curiosity-

Gigi: That's right, pink guys... -I pronounce it with style-

Mayday: Can you tell us what those guys you mention looked like? -I ask just as curious as Zuke-

Gigi: Well, um... let's just say they looked like people, if they look like one... they were also kind of bright pink like neon lights, their face was covered with some kind of dark stone mask and his clothes seemed like an armor of the same type as his mask, that's all I know, I'm sorry guys -He said showing despondency for not giving him more information about them-

Zuke: Don't worry Gigi, you better go rest, Zam, Yiruk and more people are heading towards the place where we do our concerts, go there and tell them that we went to save the city once again -He would say while holding his hand right leaning on Gigi's shoulder

Gigi: Okay Zuke *Smiled* I'll go there when I recover -I affirm in assent while he was still leaning on the wall-

Mayday: Alright Zuke, it's time to go upstairs and kick some ass on these pink dudes! *smiles animatedly*

Zuke: You said it May -He said showing calm-

Mayday/Zuke: Take care Gigi! -Both said goodbye to the purple man as they climbed the stairs to reach and open the manhole cover-

—On the Surface, in the Central district—

The manhole cover opened, the rocking duo burst to the surface, Zuke having put the manhole cover back in place. They both looked around, the neighborhood where they lived was completely empty, leaving them surprised, there was no citizen in this part of the place, even the food stall where they always met Tía was empty, without any customer or employee. They went down the main street to go towards the Central Plaza.

Arriving at the place, they could see several people; some in the same state as Gigi, heading in the direction of the Cast Tech district. Mayday and Zuke set out to go with them and ask them what happened along the way, receiving the same answers they had heard from Gigi and the Reporter. For now, they haven't seen anyone with those characteristics yet, but they would find out soon enough. When they arrived at the area where they were supposed to be able to quickly access the district before, they saw that it was surrounded by a crowd of people who were waiting to get to the place.
