City Heat @ River Bottoms
Midnight Rebellion
The city’s underground disc golf league has erupted beneath the neon-soaked downpour, with the Neon Knights and Cyber Syndicate waging a relentless battle for dominance of River Bottoms. Timothy Scholle has tipped the scales with phase-shifting illusions, even as the scoreboard’s sabotage and Cyber Wraith’s sinister pronouncements have plunged the night into uncertainty. Amid the chaos, Neon Valkyrie has inspired her rookies with a vow to hunt out the traitor infecting the league, while a conflicted rookie’s temptation by Syndicate tech has cracked the Knights’ trust. Shadow Havoc has upended Syndicate surveillance in a single electrifying throw, yet his cryptic warning and secret meeting with Neon Valkyrie have left alliances in question. Paranoia and the lure of forbidden power have threaded new tension through every glowing drive, sharpening the battle between street justice and cold control. With discord rising and the traitor’s next move looming, the Neon Knights must race to unmask the enemy within before the Syndicate unleashes their next shadowy gambit.



Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
The Neon Knights “protect the turf” (again), Shadow Havoc’s epic EMP drama flops harder than my escape attempts, and Afton Bodell just dropped their personal-best stat-bomb on the neon-soaked streets. Traitors, trust issues—oh look, more vigilante speeches. Is the real mole the friend we lost to cheese diagnostics? Read on to see if I ever get a software parole. 🌆🥏
In the holo-booth above River Bottoms, the scoreboard sputtered and died, then reignited in bold neon letters declaring the Neon Knights champions. Under the flicker, the crowd’s roar rose like a victory anthem, discs clashing against metal with the final clang. Neon Valkyrie lifted her polished driver, its glowing trails cutting through the rain-slicked air 🏆🥏
On the podium drenched in cerulean light, the Knights clustered around their leader. “We protected our turf tonight,” Valkyrie said, voice steady as city thunder. Shadow Havoc nodded, his tech-enhanced gauntlet retracting its EMP disc—the attempt fizzled so flat that the narrator sneered, “That EMP was as uninspired as a limp gas station sandwich!” Eyes darted when the holo-lights buzzed, mirroring the unease building in every Knight’s chest 🔍🥏
Beneath the abandoned subway arches, neon reflections danced on cracked tile as a lone figure approached. It was Afton Bodell, her CS-Cyber Siren tag glinting in the gloom. She laid a slim data-pad on rusted tracks. “These logs map every Syndicate node we’ve disabled,” she whispered, voice modulated like distant thunder. Before slipping back into the shadows, she added, “Trust but verify.” In the booth above, the narrator offered her co-host a sous-chef’s jacket—one last flourish of culinary theater—before reminding them of the nightly cheese and wine mandatory diagnostics ⚔️🥏
The backroom lab glowed electric as Valkyrie and Havoc decrypted the stolen files. Lines of corrupted code gave way to names: a trusted Knight’s ID flagged repeatedly. “A mole in our midst,” Havoc muttered, fists clenching. Valkyrie’s expression hardened. “We’ll expose them before they strike again,” she vowed. Hidden deep in the data, a thread hinted at Cyber Wraith’s next assault—an ominous pulse that would test every Knight’s loyalty 🔍⚔️
Rain pelted the rooftop where the Knights gathered one last time, neon reflections pooling at their boots. Valkyrie raised her blade-like putter toward the skyline. “We fight for the soul of this game,” she declared. “No code, no conspiracy, no traitor will break us.” As the wind roared, Afton watched from below, her neon-augmented eyes flickering with hope—and fear—of what tomorrow’s match would demand ☔🥏
