----------------------------------------

whirrrrrrrrrr.....

Huh? Where am I?

I can hear the sound of motor engine running

I open my eyes, it's pitch black here so I don't even know where I am

*rustles*

And I can hear a faint rustling sound amidst the engine noise

Oh, that was the sound of my body rubbing against something soft that covered my whole body

I can't remember what happened from before I was here

*clack clack*

I can feel the vibrations transmitted from somewhere outside

Maybe I'm some kind of car right now

In a car, can't move, dark space....

Wait! Does that mean I was abducted??!

No way!~

Crack

When I tried to move my body, the thing which covered my body started to fall apart

I wonder what is it?

It is somewhat soft and somewhat hard, a mysterious feeling

Ah... It doesn't matter, I just need to break it

Crack!!!

Pushing with all my strength, I broke free from the containment

There was a sound of wood breaking

Oh! So I was in a wooden box, covered in packing styrofoam

Outside of the box... it's still pitch black

I tried to move around, but all I can feels are either wooden boxes, or cardboard boxes everywhere

Looks like I'm inside a cargo truck of some sort

If I try to move around without being able to see, I might hurt myself.

Can't do anything about that now. I'll wait here and ambush the kidnappers

The truck kept going, and going, and going...

The engine kept letting out a rhythmic sound the whole time

I don't even know how long it has been anymore

So sleepy..... *nod* *nod*

*zzzzzz*

Screech~~~ *Tap Tap Tap*

Huh? I think the truck stopped just now

And there's sound of footsteps too, maybe it was from the kidnappers

I readied myself for combat, the moment they opened the door, they're dead meat!

The door slowly opened

"........."

A man with black hair, wearing something looks like a construction worker outfit was saying something to another man with grey hair. After a while, the grey-haired man pull out a stack of money and gave it to him

Uwaaa! I'm definitely being kidnapped! He sold me to that Grey hair!

I wonder why they even bothered to stuff me inside a wooden crate, and covered me in foam peanuts to boot....

I waited until the black haired man turn his back on me. And jumped.

Kicking the ground with all my strength, bursting through the cargo, I did a backhanded chop on the back of his head, knocking him out in the process

Okay, one down. You're next, Grey hair

Using the knocked out Black hair as a stepping stone, I rotate in midair, trying to give the other a roundhouse kick to the face. But surprisingly, he deflected my foot with just a flick of his hand.

I lowered my body, and perform a sweep kick, trying to break his posture. As expected, he jumped up to avoid my kick

"I GOT YOU NOW!"

Kicking the ground, I drive a punch with all my strength into his solar plexus. With this, he will definitely be knocked out cold, it's my win!

But the instant my fist touched him, he bent his body into く, using the force of my blow to do a backflip and land quite a distance from me

Grey hair broke into a savage smile, the air around him suddenly changed, it feels like every single air molecules has turned into small needles and they're prickling my skin

Dangerous! My insticnt is telling me to run away from him.  This man is dangerous, I can't beat him! I need to run right away

*thump* Ouch!

I tried to run away, looking back at him, Grey hair has already disappeared from the spot. All I can see is a blur before something grabbed my head and slammed it to the ground

"hey hey, I told you to get me a [Blank], but this one is quite lively isn't she?"

Grey hair said something I don't understand, what is a "blank"?

"I'm sorry, we obtained her from an underground channel. She's already in the state of "No data" at the time, I didn't think she could fight"

I thought I knocked him out, but Black hair was trying to stand up while rubbing his head

"You can stop her with the original command. Her manufacture code is XYZ321.3054"

What is he saying? "No data"? "Manufacture code"? What the heck are those?

"Is that so?... Hey you! XYZ321.3054, Deactivate. Confirm command!"

"Command confirmed! Shutting down"

What? My mouth is saying incomprehensible words, it's definitely my voice, but I didn't say any of that. And my body too, it's moving against my will, I can't control them anymore!

--SYSTEM SHUTTING DOWN--

I tried my hardest to move, but my limbs refused to listen, my vision dimmed and the surrounding noise gradually faded into the distance as my consciousness grew hazy...
