The scenery of the old factory vanished as the program ended the game,our mechs stood in place as the system turned them back on. A long silence went on for a while, when suddenly we heard lots of laughter.

“Oh god, we did it….” (Cassy)

“Yeah, hooray….I need a holiday..” (Alec)

“Hey, are you guys here?” (Erica)

There was lots of noise coming from the outside of our cockpits. We all opened our cockpit and climbed outside…..on the bleachers were thousands of people cheering.

“....where did they come from?” (Cassy)

“Isn’t this a reserved area?” (Chloe)

We were boasting about how they got here when a medical van pulled up by us, Carlos and Lucy came out of it with the medical team.

The medical team checked our vitals to see if we had any strains on our bodys. When they were done, Carlos and Lucy walked over.

“Hey! That was a great match, wasn’t it?” (Carlos)

“Don’t, “Hey”, me!” (Cassy)

Cassy grabbed Carlos by his shirt’s collar and pulled him up off the ground.

“You’re the one who switched the game mode! You made us fight ten thousand advanced mechs and that battleship! Do you know how hard it was to finish that!?!” (Cassy)

“Hey, hey! Chill out. I only did it because of the fans, and you have to admit that it was fun!” (Carlos)

“All for the fans! Why you…..!” (Cassy)

Alec cut into their talk and said,

“On the other hand, no one was hurt, so it’s okay.” (Alec)

“....I guess you're right..” (Cassy)

“Didn’t hurt anyone? That hurt my peace of mind!” (Mark)

“Mark, you always had a low comprehension rate…..which doesn’t quite explain why your were in the top ten.” (Chloe)

Mark rolled his eyes and looked away. Then Carlos, who is still held in Cassy’s clutches, said,

“Well look on the bright side, you’re all the talk about on the hyperlink! Especially the part where you shot a fraze nuke to the battleship by mech.” (Carlos)

“.....”

No one said anything. We just stood there looking at each other until Lucy said,

“Isn’t anyone concerned about the fact that the nuke could have killed us all? How did you even build one?” (Lucy)

“It’s a Military secret.” (Eli)

I said that while covering my mouth.

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

“Okay….I’m not going to ask how you know that but….” (Carlos)

Carlos turned on the mic he was holding and siad,

“Ladies and gentlemen! Give them another round of applause for their victory!!” (Carlos)

Loud cheers could be heard from the crowd, thousands of people waving their hand and taking pictures, even a TV News team was here.

“Well, I guess we should enjoy it while it last.” (Erica)

“Yeah.” (Everyone)

We all waved our hands back at them in full joy. I also heard Cassy telling Carlos that this wasn’t over.

~~~~~

“Ahhhhhh.” (Eli)

I plopped myself on my bed with all my plushies and rolled around while hugging them. It took awhile for me to get home and shower.

“Lylaaaaa, could you please give me my dinner here, please?” (Eli)

“Yes, mistress.” (Lyla)

“Thanks~” (Eli)

Lots of things happened before I got back home: First the news reporters wanted to interview us, then we got scrolled by the police for scaring them with the fraze nuke….to be honest, I got scrolled for that. We also had to take the time to fix our destroyed mech, which seems to have taken hours. Night had fallen long before everyone went back home.

I got up from the bed, got my laptop from the table and sat back down. I went onto the hyperlink and looked through it.

“Oh wow! The battle really did go viral!” (Eli)

All people could talk about was the battle and who did the best. There were even recordings of some parts of the battle.

“Dinner Is served.” (Lyla)

“Ok, thanks again!” (Eli)

I ate my dinner while watching videos on Y*uTube, then I got a call from Erica.

“Hey! Did you get home in one piece?” (Erica)

“Yes I did. You?” (Eli)

“Yup! Any ways I called because I want to know where you live so I can visit.” (Erica)

“Oh! right, umm I live outside the city, but hold on I’ll send you the address! You should have gotten it.” (Eli)

“Thanks! Meet you tomorrow! Good night!” (Erica)

“Okay, good night!” (Eli)

I got off the phone, asked Lyla to take my plate to the kitchen, and then went to bed after turning my computer off.

“Ahh, so much has happened in so little time. It feels like it was just yesterday that I got to this world. I wonder how everyone is doing back there.” (Eli)

I was worried about the people back in my world, but a voice inside me told me that they were fine.

My view started to blur and a fell soundly asleep.

Side story 1: Growl…..

“General destruction! You are sentenced to death for your actions! If you have anything to say then say it now!” (?)

“I…...I…..no.” (Growl/General D)

“Very well! Guards, get this traitor out of this room and into a cell! He’ll get executed in five days!” (Judge?)

The soldier behind me grabbed me and pushed me out of the room towards the cells. I was locked in one of them waiting to receive my death in 5 days—-like hell I’ll do that!

Once night fell over the capital planet I used one of the scales I rip off myself to unlock the cuffs on my hands. Then I climbed up to the dark ceiling and waited for the guards to notice my disappearance.

Soon enough one of them noticed I was gone and came into the cell I was in, I dropped onto him from the ceiling and knocked him out before taking his key card and uniform.

Acting like a normal soldier I made my way out of the prison and towards the shipyard just before the alarm started blaring.

“Alert! General Destruction has escaped!”

Too late idiots! You can thank me later!

I stole a the fastest ship I could find and took off the planet in a hurry, but they found me, they must have placed a tracer on me! Or no….it the soldier ID card, crap, I forgot to deactivate it. I broke the ID card and accelerated ship read to warp away from here to seek refuge.

Just as the rip in space appeared a ship managed to shot on of my engines and I spun out of control in to the warp portal totally off course.

I lost consciousness after a hit my head on the control panel.

~~~~~

I woke in the vastness of space to the sound of a large boom, looking around I saw a battleship and some sort of traveling space crafts fighting, the traveling spacecraft should have lost but after watching it for a while it won the battle and ended towards the battleship to gain control of it.

I knew it wasn’t one of ours as the design was too different, I may have found another Rulian empire, or aliens…..

I tried to move my ship towards the battleship, but it seems to have been too damaged, with only one option I took a space suit and landed on and asteroid just as the ship came over and jet packed right to it.

I found on entrance to the ship and entered smoothly and hid using the cloaking device I stole.

I walked around the ship looking for people to talk to, then I heard voices of people taking jiberish coming this way and wait, that’s went I saw them…..aliens they don’t have a tail, scales, or sharp claws like us Rulians. The skin is exposed and they look fragile and easy to break, but there is this confidence in their eyes that seems a little scary.

“@#$&d$&#@$$&##&f#&g$sa!”

“%@##$#&($##dfx&hfs#9.”

Ah! Why can’t I understand them? My nanomachines should be working! Oh wait...it just adjusted.

“@#$df&——so let just go and get some rest, I’m tired.” (???)

Just then one of them turned toward me and looked at me directly in the eye. There was no way it could see me, i was completely cloaked! It’s instincts are very good.

“Eli? Whats wrong?” (???)

“Hmmmm ...nothing, I just felt like someone was watching me.” (Eli)

I followed them to the traveler parked in the hangar of the big ship and entered with them making sure to stay as far as possible from the pink haired one as possible..

For a while I stole some of there food to survive and slept in their hangar, soon we arrived on a blue planet where they built their cities! I can get a lot of information from these creature and possibly find a way back to the Rulians.
