What did i need on a trip throughout space? Lets go with the basics and get bigger from there food ,water ,toiletries , a space suit, a few changes of cloths ,my journal ,a plasma rifle, and that's all i needed not as much stuff as i thought.
Hearing the door open i was removed from my thoughts only to see Gwen enter with a all silver standard wheel chair .You would think they would have something more futuristic but if it ain't broke don't break it .Picking me up effortlessly she slowly lowered me down into the wheel chair .I quickly told her a list of all the things i needed to ensure a decent space travel in the coming month.
"So what type of space suits do you have on ship"
"none we don't need oxygen, all this stuff like this wheel chair is currently being made to suit you"
That made more sense that i cared to admit looking at my face in the door
"that's neat... so who makes these things i want to meet him"
"Well its a team of people but the head honcho is in building 3 floor 43 he's a inventor of sorts"
She said as she was wheeling me out the door
"wait before we leave i want to take my plasma rifle with me along with all the gear you bought"
"looking for a upgrade?" she said smiling
"you know me to well"
"alright" she said tossing everything into my lap ,hope the gun was on safety
We began moving through the halls with the citizens making way for us. Same old expressions ,Same old reactions but new us. We were passed the phase when we felt strange about our emotions and was being lovey dovey in public .We didn't offically announce ourselves but we really didn't have too , we felt the same way. Hall after hall this place was huge i don't think id ever get used to it, especially when i compared it to the size of my old temple.
"Its like this place gets bigger every week"
"That's because it does, we have have workers adding new spots and new bots being built. Its being worked on 24 hours 365 days a year"
That checked out, after about 30 minutes we got to a clean hole that just went up seemingly infinitely.
"Don't you guys use elevators, is this a gladiator society or what?"
"we've never needed them, and basically"
She grabbed my chair like i wasn't even sitting on it then jumped 43 stories of length. If she wasn't so graceful i was fully sure i was bound to vomit. Placing me down she continued our leisure stroll like she didn't just accomplish a super robot feat .We pulled up to a door with a double wrench sign welded on it .Opening the door with one hand and pushing me inward i was amazed and the productivity at first glance. It was almost like when i first arrived here and and i saw the sphere robots buzzing about, never got their names. Upon us entering the working slowed but didn't stop then picked right back up again.
"Ahh yes Mr.Farron and Ms.Gwendolyn how are you this day"- said a very high pitched voice
The voice in question was a incredibly small robot with the biggest metal moustache I've ever seen. He possessed a nice array of pointy hair in a mohawk .He looked the exact opposite of how he sounded and what he did.
"What could bring council members to this fine establishment"
Opening my pouch then putting the ring in it "I need upgrades on these weapons"
"MHH some of these are masterly made" looking at my rifle... why did everyone like the rifle
"Yes thank you, also i need a space suit, preferably one i could depend my life on if there were to be a assailant"
"Ahh if you needed to do the ol russle tussle dussle i understand! I need your measurements!"
"What do i have to pay you?"
"Pay me! How dare you ill have you know i do this job because blah blah blah blah" he went into a huge tirade of the love and passion, the thrill and the joy.
Even though i couldn't stand( ba dum tss ) to listen to this guy go off i understood that was the mark of a master, and it brought a tear to my eye.
"I already have his measurements and you BETTER make sure his space suit is reinforced for combat"
"Oh hehehe do you know who your talking too I'm the best inventor on this planet, when you come back ill knock your socks off! now give me his measurements so we can get to work your disturbing my disciples!"
How did she get my measurements i wouldn't ask
"Hey so my plasma rifle has a armor piercing mode that uses normal bullets , is there anyway you could change them to the plasma rounds it already uses?"
"Of course!" he replied as he took the measurements from Gwen
"Now out of my shop you non-artificers!! you're tainting the air" practically pushing us out.
He's one of the better mannered robots , gotta say i liked the fellow. Let just see how the gear turns out.
"Alright should we head to the range next"
"Yeah" She said as she abandoned strolling me to just downright walking with me lifting the wheel chair and all .We reached the ever so deep hole and jumped down to floor 27.
"The range is on the level"
We reached a door without any marking but it was obvious it was the shooting range. What made it so obvious, probably the deafen sounds of guns being blasted repeatedly.
"Ahh my favorite place in the world "Said Gwen like she was reminiscing about a old highschool crush.
"Hey Gwen i know this is off topic but before i forget how old are you?"
Not offended at all she said "Uhhhh 456"
pretending to be unstartled i just said "gotcha"
Opening the firing range i was surprised this was the most populated place ive seen so far. It had nearly as many people as in it as, when i was on trial on that time ago. There was no stalls just a wall full of weapons and a range full of targets .No ear muffs either so i guess i had to get used to it.
"Follow me we have the right to go somewhere that's less chaotic"
Would the battlefield really give the opportunity to go somewhere chaos free? Doubt it so in my mind this was the perfect place, even the stares of the 10 thousand or so odd partakers added stress which was what i needed.
"no this is perfect its like a small scale battle simulation"
"Understood, We have plenty of rifles similar to your main one, but none of the exact model."
"That's fine"
Looking at the wall full of shooting irons i choose a plasma assault rifle that was all black with a a almost matching build to my own.
"Good choice , hehe i cant wait to start shooting .Ok First let me show you how to hold a rifle when standing your feet should roughly match your shoulder, your left hand holds the forestock, elbow pointing down. The right hand holds the grip, elbow pointing out, but not too much. The butt or backside of the rifle should be snug against your shoulder."
When i was able to walk i'd remember that part about the legs. Putting the butt of the rifle in my armpit i took aim, but waited for her command to fire.
"what are you waiting for?"
Oh.
ting ting ting ting ting ting i hit target after target .Gwen was staring at me like she approved of my shooting. Controlled fire was a little simple i had to admit, time to take it up a notch lets switch to moving targets and automatic fire. Taking a deep breath i steadied my pulse. Act is if they were real enemies ,real people trying to kill finishing my though i opened my eyes and a flurry of bullets rained down. tingggggggggggggggggg i let go of the trigger after a full assault burst ,each plasma shot finding a way to its mark.
"Do you even need to be here? So far you have a 100% accuracy rating"
"Beginners luck we should do some more shooting "
"Beginners luck my ass, Farron let me ask you those moving targets in the back how fast are they and what numbers do they have on them"
Strange question but sure
"7,15,24,65,23,13,24,53,24,3,64,76,13,54,93,343,22, and they're moving at a snails pace"
"You damn cheater its that eye of yours, Farron each target is moving at 400 M.P.H or more, this course wasn't designed for humans "
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
I see not like i could just turn my eye off , i didn't even know it was on. Come to think of it i haven't missed a single shot even back when i fought the warrior duo or sea raptor. Seeing her frustration i could understand why, it must not feel that great if a total greenhorn started showing a combat veteran up.
"Its not cheating if its in me... lets try covering it maybe that will help"
Getting a simple piece of cloth she tripled wrapped around me eye
"That should do the trick"
Or so she thinks the cloth did absolutely nothing i could see through it, just like if it wasn't there at all.
"Its not working i can see through it"
"then close your eyes!" she said putting her hands over my face. I dont know what she thought that was accomplish if i could see through cloths then i could definitely see through my thin eyelids. But hey im allowed to have some fun every once in a while so lets make it extra outrageous and i wanted to see her reaction. Steadying my breath i entered my shooting position.
"Heh lets see you what you got big guy, you'll be a expert if you hit even one"
Ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting I fired until the rifle was boiling.
"So how did i do" i asked already knowing the answer
"Impossible you little shit you know you hit everyone of them"
i was reduced back to "little shit" status which made me chuckle
"now now no need to be rude is there anyway to speed up the target movement?"
"Yes there is a way but not here , turns out we have to use the special room anyway"
Leaving the driods in the room behind she began wheeling me towards the door on the left .Once we entered the gun fire sound that had been rattling my skull ceased .There was only one other person in the room with us it looked like Anathasia. Oh no it was the queen should i learn her name? once i leave this base i dont think ill return to ask about the weather, but ehh i was here another month so it couldn't hurt. My only rule was i'd let her speak to me first, if she was happy to ignore me trust me i was ecstatic to do the same. Fortunately she wasn't shooting anything so it was free game .Trying my best to pay her no attention i looked at the targets. These were further away and moving slightly faster but still not fast enough.
"Hey Gwen could you turn it up to two times this speed"
"still not fast enough, ok"
Turning to the queen she said "Greeting my lovely wonderful Royal majesty" Just as quickly as she said that she was already manning the control panel.
"Ok this is two times speed"
Better but it was just so slow, was my eye adapting each time it gets faster? Lets see
"Just go max speed"
"Ok its going max capacity"
"How fast is it going?"
" 5000 MPH"
This is what i needed it was moving faster then i could track .At least i was for about 30 seconds, then i felt a pulse in my eye... back to a granny's pace. That settled it my eye adapted , there was no speed that it couldn't see .If this was the max setting i had to deal with it .
"What if i told you it made no difference, i think my eye adapts to the speeds"
"your joking right? just shoot the damn things "
"Alright ,Alright could you hold my wheelchair i don't want the recoil to push it back as i shoot"
"I spoil you way to much " She said pouting like she wasn't going to do it.
she got a hold of my chair "happy ?"
"how bout a good luck kiss"
"sly guy" she said giving me a little more then a kiss
"show me that eye of yours"
intending to do just that i watched the targets closely. The more i payed attention the slower they seemed. I still didn't know the full extent of my power so let me try something else if we are experimenting here. Using the cloth from earlier i wrapped my human eye shut so that only the blessed eye could be used for vision Focus, focus the target dummies went from slow , slower to completely still .Pulling the trigger i could see the vibrations and even the plasma leaving the rifle .Each bullet had a unique shape to them , there was no way i was going to miss even a single shot
ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting the gun burned but i could actually hit every single one of them and i planned to do that ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting finished.
"holy hell your like artemis you just cant miss"
"when i focus the targets its like time stops literally not figuratively"
"How about some more good luck kisses" I said shamelessly
"My, my i know you too got along well but who would've thought my Gwendolyn could finally get a man"
That might've been said in a mocking manner but i didn't see her husband anywhere , if anything she was alone in a room , so jokes on her.
"Yes, i know , I'm glad i waited "
"i can see that , this human has quite the impeccable shot.
Walking closer she got a little too close
"Tell me , Farron is it, how is it possible for you to hit every single target at this distance moving 5000mph? It shouldn't be"
Did she think she was intimating ?Should i give her a piece of my mind or would that only make Gwen look bad decisions decisions. Its probably best if i just say nothing, Giving her my best ugly face i didn't move my lips. If she tried anything funny i had a gun and she didn't, cruel but whatever i didn't like her one bit.
"a stubborn one , is it because i didn't raise my hand at the trial" she said
"Yes" i said lying
"oh well no one thought you would survive .Unlike my daughter i don't have anything against humans ,so can you really blame me" She said
"Yes i can" i said not missing a beat
Gwendolyn wanted to get involved but i doubt she could without making things worse ,which i respected her restraint.
"Oh fine how can i make it up to you?" she said putting on her best politician smile pushing her bosom into my face
"you cant" i said trying to keep a straight face but it was hilarious to see Gwen's reaction to her failed seduction
"why not " she said moving back and frowning
"I'm not so easily bought or threatened"
"... that's even more reason why i have to know .I know what im going to do, im going to follow you two around all year if i have to .A few years mean nothing to me"
That was unexpected, how could i get her to not do that
"What about the king he wouldn't be very pleased to hear that would he"
"THAT FOOL WOUDLNT KNOW HIS WRIST FROM HIS ASS! he can't control me!!."
I struck a sour note their relationship must be rough, better reason to stay away
"You decide you can tell me and be rewarded with whatever you want or me, you and Gwen will become the very best friends"
It couldn't be that important to her no way she would abandon her kingdom, I'm willing to call her bluff.
"I could always use another to the harem"
Gwen grabbed me from my wheelchair and slammed me on the wall
"what!"
"hey wait! it not me in control its the queen choosing to come along ,if you don't want it to happen say something instead of abusing me"
nice save
looking at the queen then looking at me i could see the gears in her brain turning
"well i always knew you were a rascal"
"Don't accept it that easy! it was a joke your the only one for me"
"Its fine Farron i researched a shit load about humans over the past few days , i know you can be insatiable."
"Yes humans are always in heat" the queen chimed in
Where did she here that from, im pretty sure i feel regular
"ALWAYS!? Farron you could've just said something, queen i would be honored" stated Gwen blushing
I didn't understand where this was going but i just wanted to shoot stuff
"Can we just go to another range i think all the targets here are dead"
"Follow me" the queen said cheerfully
