"hi, my name is Motrace, nice to know you" says a voice
"Is this an abduction?" says Reno
"no dude, I was walking around and I found you and ya' friend out of a river, 12 kilometers from here"
Reneo looks at the boy, he has greyish skin, purple eyes, yellow hair at the base of them there are some glasses with the shape of gears, a brownish jacket and black jeans, he is about the same heigh as Noryo and does not posses particularly big muscles
"and your scrawny ass was able to bring us here"
Reneo closes his knuckles
"dude before you do anything I shall remind you that the last time you tried to zap me you fell unconscious, that black shit sucks all the forces you have" says Motrace
Reneo looks at his body, he is all covered in that black liquid
"ain't gonna lie I might be tweaking but I ain't stupid, you could've already killed us"
Reneo stands up, he looks intimidating next to the boy
"my master taught me the good manners, compensate good with good and evil with word" Motrace looks at Reneo in the eyes "so I shall expect a compensation for my service"

"you fall on short hands my boy, i do not have shit in my pockets, you're free to check if it suits you better" says Reneo
"should've expected from a drowning gorilla like you to be a cheap ass" says Motrace
"weren't you a good Samaritan?"
"Never stated that, good does not mean perfect"
"isn't that an insult on your master? What a disgraceful discipline, that even insult a poor guy covered in boiling mud"
"mpf, then let me finish so I will begin to insult a clean ungrateful bastard, I already finished with your friend"
"that's my brother"
"I hope he has a better attitude than you"
A purple light surrounds Reneo and the goo levitates away from him
"thank you my man, sorry but I ain't gonna spend my last credits on this service"
Reneo charges a punch and sends Motrace flying out of the cave
"nothing personal, really. But these money will help me later for leaving this hole that y'all dare call a planet" says Reneo
Motrace stops mid air and safely lands on the ground
"Lying dog, you're going to regret your greed"
Motrace does an hand sign and the slab of rock where Reneo was standing gets slammed nearby Motrace
"What fancy power you have, but I ain't out of them myself"
Reneo channels a electric shockwave so powerful that winds away the dust around the area, theoretically it could've been more than enough to shove Motrace away but he stands his food immovable
"Electricity vs Gravity, curious encounter" they say in unison
Reneo surrounds himself of static electricity, creating an high voltage area
Motrace instead increased the gravity around his body, crushing the ground around him
"You still have your chance to pay dude"
"Are you deaf? man, didn't I say that I'll need them later?"
