Summary: Cyborg's last stand sends him spiraling into a distant future not one of his own world

Chapter 1: A Cyborgs Last Stand

Kensington 'Kodex' T. Brown looked out over the barren, scorched landscape before him, the sky was painted the color of radioactive green, in the distance, Kensington could still see the last evacuation ship far off into the distance, Kensington looked down to his clenched fist, within it were an AI memory chip, at his hip, he felt the weight of his Modified Smith and Wesson Revolver laser pistol, an odd combination of regret and comfort issuing from both objects.

Kensington looked up from the AI chip, bringing his hand up and attaching it to his necklace, he then reached down and activated his wrist mounted pulse gun, drawing it from its compact form.

"Let's get to work" The cyborg said softly to himself through his voice augmenter. Bringing his cyber-organic cybernetic arm in front and place three of his fringes on the forearm and neon red light exploded to life on the arm. Flicking the three fingers upward a screen appears with multiple icons for different uses. Kensington press the 'Music' icon and opens to a multiple playlist's. Skimming though the playlists, Kensington opens 'Favorites 2' and finds the song he was looking for.

(Play Next Time by Gang Starr, Kensington's theme song)

Kensington smile to himself as the music beings to play in his helmet. He steps down from the landing platform he had been standing on, walking toward the dust cloud at the edge of his vision, in which the forms of several armed figures could be seen, Kensington raised his pulse gun and lined the sights up on the closest figure, a tall silhouette of a person. Kensington fired one shot, and smirked as he hit his mark.

The next shadow in the haze was much taller, with a hunched posture and a weapon clutched in one of its hands. Kensington recognized it as an zombie with cybernetics (who ever came up with the idea for zombies to have that is a bloody idiot!) and peppered the figure's form with shots, after three shots, the familiar blue haze of a burst energy that indicates that the zombie was disintegrated, and Kensington adjusted his aim to land the final shot into the center of the mechs helm.

As the last figure dropped to the ground, Kensington calmly switch from his Pulse gun to his Revolver, grabbing a freshly changed cell and smacking it home with a familiar click, only then did Kensington release the breath he hadn't remembered holding. As more figures began to make their way out of the smoke, first one, then two, then a dozen. Kensington sighed, reaching behind him, he pulls out another energy weapon that resembles a AA-12 shotgun and raised his both weapons again.

"This may take a while to deal with" Kensington said softly as he moves around to one of the destroyer buildings that was nearby to his location, he was quite lucky to be in an abandoned city it gave him much needed cover from enemy fire when they decided to attack from higher ground to get the drop in him.

Kensington fought for hours on end, not thinking, not feeling, only acting and reacting, more and more soldiers fell from his onslaught of plasma, laser, and pulse shots, some with neat holes in their heads, others in pieces from his pulse grenades, and some with their skulls or chests caved in from his harsh blows with the butt of his pistol or a pulse blast.

Kensington occasionally was not quick enough to dodge their shots, and over time gained a hefty collection of wounds, a large cauterized gash lined his side, and in several places his armored trench coat sported holes, revealing deep burns that wept blood from between cracks in the charred skin. At one point, a shot had impacted the side of his helmet, the armor saving him from being decapitated from the blast, but leaving deep cracks on the edge of his right hexagon visor lens.

A click resounded as Kensington pulled the trigger of his Laser Revolver, and he instinctively ejected the spent cell and reached for a full one, but paused as he realized he was out of laser ammo, the first conscious thought he had had in the last five and a half hours. He quickly put away the laser weapon by holstering it, and went to reach for his wrist device that activates his cybernetic limb enhancements, when a bolt of plasma impacted in the right side of his damaged helmet, it shattered, a gaping hole appearing in it as of melting metal peppered Kensington's face. The hacker roared in pain and rage followed by a wide range of slurs and very descriptive profanity. Gripping the helmet, yanking it off, Kensington tossed it at an incoming zombie, the stinging of burnt flesh filled his nostrils.

An Mutant lizard approached Kensington from behind and a metal fist whipped around, smashing its face with and finishing it off with a quick burst of fire from one of the shoulder mounted pulse cannons, as another Mutant approached Kensington began painting it with fire until its armor broke and the soldier collapsed in a pool of its own blood. Kensington continued firing until a stray plasma bolt impacted just beneath his arms, hitting him in the chest and sending gouts of blood into the air as he staggered back. The Cyborg would not be deterred, however, and managed to cling to his two foot long wrist blade with his left hand on the grip and slashes the throat of a nearby mutant from behind, with his left, he reached to his hip and activated his pulse weapon, he whipped toward the source of the enemy fire and began spraying the area with his plasma canon (the other shoulder mounted weapon). In his opposite hand he leveled the Laser AA-12 shotgun on the nearest approaching zombie and fired several shots, he adjusted his aim to an Mutant that had managed to get within swinging distance.

A Crab Mutant grabbed Kensington in its large claw but he simply pressed the muzzle of his wrist mounted pulse gun against its head and pulled the trigger, the Mutant fell back with two new holes in either side of its head, one neat and surgical, the other ragged and gaping. Kensington fell from the Mutant's grasp, but managed to stay on his feet thanks to his cybernetic helper.

Kensington looks behind him to see a human sized pale, light purple mechanical stick figure that was around his height (5'11) wearing a extremely long black scarf rapped around it's neck standing right behind him. This was XJ-Beta, Kensington's personal synthetic helper (looks similar to Yupia, but with a different color scheme)

Kensington began to think, he was wounded, beaten, battered, and was running low on ammunition for his weapons and power for his cybernetics. The hacker looks back at XJ-Beta, she was badly damaged from the fighting. The visor of her helmet was cracked and part of the helmet was missing as well and from the flashes of light from her body, she was losing power fast. Rising his wrist device he scrolls through his inventory to find a particular weapon in his arsenal in his personal pocket dimension for a moment or two he came across for what he was looking for, the most dangerous weapon ever created with technology: The Pulse Haze Bomb (TPHB). A bomb made with proton fusing pulse technology Kensington had made awhile back in his earlier days of his work. The bomb itself has the force of a fifty megaton bomb. The reason why Kensington made this is still a mystery.

Kensington knew what he was planing to do was suicidal but he didn't have any other options at the moment If he was going to die he would rather die by his own creation then on his knees by his enemies, equipping the TPHB, Kensington notice design of the grenade, it looked to be an standard grenade but slightly larger and purple in color, pulling the pin the slight ticking coming from the grenade was able to fill his ears as he looks down at the grenade in hand, it stared to glow dull purple.

Kensington closes his eyes and softly spoke to his helper, "This is thee end…'isn't it?" The Hacker asked his damaged helper. Kensington stares into XJ-Beta's glowing red eyes.

"D-d-dad-d-day" XJ-Beta glitches out of her damaged voice box.

Kensington sifted is gaze back to the TPHB was glowing even brighter then before, looking around multiple Mutants animals, Zombies, giant bugs, and other robot started to make there way to him and Beta. A saddened look appears on Kensington's face as he looked to the radioactive storm he was in, he always liked them despite how dangerous they where, the cybernetic limb enhancements retracted back into their compartments.

'This isn't how I honestly would go out' Kensington thought as XJ-Beta raps her arms around her 'father's neck, Kensington's USB Cord like tail raps around XJ-Beta's waist to bring the mechanical girl closer to him. Kensington returns the jester back by hugging XJ-Beta. The Hacker looks off into the distance at a Arc Fusion reactor station that was known as Stalin Station that looks like the reactor was going into critical meltdown since the station was beginning to gain bright blue glowing cracks.

Kensington looks at the station with a anime style sweat drop. 'And that Irish saber wielding idiot is probably dead to since he's in there'

As a mutant cheetah was about to slash Kensington and XJ-Beta when the TPHB finally activated with a bright red flash, the explosion and shockwave of force had destroyed everything in its wake uplifting the ground and killing all the mutants, zombies and robots in a massive ten kilometer radius. Bright flashes to show what had happened. All of the people far from the fighting in one of the evacuation ship had taken their hats/helmets off and lowered their heads for there fallen Hacker.
