After one very deep breath from Hide, the footage from JukeBot begins again.
It flickers at first– a bit of the previous streaming struggle during the storm carrying through. But it steadies itself, eventually showing (projected on buildings, pushed to other screens, etc.) a clear view of Hide standing on one of the few remaining balconies of what was formerly the beautiful Aqualux, now partially rubble and split wide open in the aftermath of the history-making fight that had just taken place inside. Vibe is coursing through him as he stands overlooking the district-- the under layers of his freshly chopped hair glowing brightly, the UV ink sunburst tattoo on his neck shining despite the lack of blacklight, and a sword made of pure light clutched in his left fist, firmly planted vertically into the concrete in front of his feet.
He didn’t have the mental real estate to be nervous, despite having no idea what he was going to say. There was no script, no rehearsing, not even any prior knowledge of the position he was about to be in until about thirty minutes prior.
Talk about trial by fire. How do you even begin a speech like this one? ‘Greetings?’ A casual hello? Launch right into the meat of what everyone wants to know?
“Nina is dead by my hand.”
The words were spoken as much for himself as for the rest of the island. He pauses for a beat to let them sink in before continuing on.
“To the House of Chrome, the Chrome Coalition, and to anyone else who has supported and uplifted Chroma in her endeavors– it is with a heavy heart that I tell you all... Chroma has fallen in her fight with Nina.”
“Anyone who knew her, knew her plans, is well aware that losing was not an option. Not with so much on the line for this district. Purple needs leadership that is present, at the ready, and willing to do what it takes to move forward. As Chroma’s Second In Command, as her Captain– it was my duty to step up in her stead, to challenge Nina, to finish what she started, and to enact her wishes as planned.
She fought fiercely– this moment would not, could not, have come without her.
Purple District– as of right now, I will be your Leader.
Chrome Coalition– up to this point, you have been made well aware of our failsafes, and my position as Second in Command. We will mourn together, but we will also move forward together.”
“There is much to say, and not enough words in existence to say it all.
Keeping in line with Chroma’s wishes, and the hopes we shared for the future of this district, the Mafia will be no more.
As planned, our Faction, always meant to be protector of the people and not something our own citizens should fear, will be entering a new era.
From this point forward, we will be known as
