Terror Infinity Side B
Chapter 11 - 3, Btooom
Shin: What's that?
Aqua: It's a house warming gift.
Shin: ...Huh?
Misaki: Just explain it properly, Aqua. Just saying, 'house warming gift' won't cut it.
Aqua: I'm sure they can understand my attentions.
Saki: No. Even with my IQ of 220 I can't grasp the full meaning.
Aqua: Fine! I'll start from the very beginning, but explain to me what you have been up to first. Like how did your hair became white?
Shin: Fine ( My girlfriend to be is so bossy ). Long as I can know why you brought three NP- ( Avoided a potential spoiler ), I mean enemy players here.

It was then after Saki and I explained what we have been through, Aqua and Misaki began to explain their adventure on the tropical island where the real world Btooom game takes place.
DAY 1 - Aqua and Misaki landed on the other side of the island away from where Hikari, Saki, Kampa, Zero, Shuai and I landed. It was in the area Ryuta ended up after the failed helicopter escape.
Aqua was able to acquire all eight chips by the end of Day 1. Like I originally imagined, Aqua was able to use her enhanced senses to find and hunt down NPCs without even needing to rely on the radar. Aqua's two genetic mutations, the Wolverine and Werewolf genetic mutations allowed her the ability to track her prey in a variety of ways.
That was how Aqua found the NPCS, and not giving the enemy anytime to prepare themselves she was able to swiftly take them out. That's my Aqua. Not disappointing at all, yet on the other hand Misaki was only able to gain one chip and barley survived the Midnight Execution.
DAY 2 - On Day 2, Aqua and Misaki finally met up. Aqua saw that Misaki didn't have a lot of chips, so they teamed up to get more chips for him. Luckily for them, because on Day 2 they were on the other side of the island they didn't encounter the enemy Btooom Soldiers and Btooom Commander like we did and could hunt down NPCs in peace.
DAY 3 - By the end of Day three Aqua had helped Misaki acquire his remaining chips and they still had not encountered the enemy. Unfortunately for me, I was lied up in bed recovering from a Timer BIM going off right under my feet.
DAY 4 - On Day 4, Aqua and Misaki who both gained 8 chips each decided to hunt down the Btooom Soldiers and Btooom Commanders at last. Still, I was unconscious.
Day 5 - By Day 5 today, Aqua had defeated a total of ten Btooom Soldiers and three Btooom Commanders ( That is my Aqua, but I am so jealous. That is 2500 Points, 1D and 2B rank rewards! ), and Misaki actually defeated two Btooom Soldiers with her help.
The two then choose this time to look for the others of our group since they had cleared up a lot of the enemies and with Aqua's amazing tracking ability it didn't take much time for the two of them to find us, while also capturing the NPCs that they crossed by. They brought them, instead of killing them for the points themselves, so that if any of us were lacking chips we could fill our quota.
I was amazed that Aqua really could defeat so many of the enemy singlehandedly. I did something similar and it almost killed me in the end with a fiery explosion, which downed me for two days and three nights, and here she is with hardly a scratch on her.
I was glad that she wasn't hurt at all, but Aqua admits that while physically she is okay, she is tired spiritually. She had used up almost all of her Nen/Aura fighting the last two days with tough opponents like the Btooom Soldiers and the Btooom Commanders.
Saki: Shin said something similar about Ki. Is it really that hard to recover? Also, is this Aura different from Ki? They are both life energy yes?
Aqua: It's the same, but it is also different as they belong to two different worlds of fiction, but forget about that for now. Now to the main part, Shin how many Chips do you and Hikari have?
Shin: I have six as of right now and Hikari should have collected all eight by now.
Aqua: That is good to hear. Shin, kill two of these NP-, no I mean two of these guys ( Avoided a potential spoiler ) to get the last of your Chip requirement.
Well, being told to execute two tied up, blind folded people/NPCs wasn't something that a high school student could hear and not think, "Wow", and the said NPCs weren't taking it calmly either. As if they were saving up their energy this whole time they tried to escape, but Aqua too quickly knocked them out in response and broke their arms and legs. It was heartless, but it wasn't like I cared to let them go either. My life or yours, I'll take mine any day of the week.

Aqua: Go ahead and kill two Shin. We'll save the third incase Hikari comes back and needs the last.
Shin: ...Sure.
- *BANG*!!
- SIDE QUEST REWARD 2, NPC CHIP - 10 POINTS ACQUIRED.
- SIDE QUEST REWARD 2, NPC CHIP - 10 POINTS ACQUIRED.
I killed the two of the NPC that Aqua and Misaki brought by putting bullets into their skulls and that was it. With this I was finally able to wrap up the second objective of the Main Quest.

3. The number/types of chips collected will increase the effectiveness of a Player's Chip Radar.
4. A Player can't use the BIMs of another party, but can use them if they are dead and personally killed the the other party. Also another's BIM can be used if activated and disarmed. Also, a Player can't take the BIM/tools of a Btooom Soldier/Commander even if a Player kills them.
TOTAL SCORE: Pending.
I now had all eight IC Chips ( There were no BIM because the three NPCs ran out ). With this I can just focus on defeating the enemy and prepare for the arrival of Ryuta Sakamoto on Day 7. And Aqua was here as well. Even if she wasn't in her best condition, together there isn't any foe we could not defeat.
Saki: Aqua, I have a favor to ask if it isn't too much trouble.
Aqua: Like what?
Saki: It is likely that Hikari and the others have already collected eight chips each, but would it be alright if I gain custody of the last NPC.
Aqua: ...Long as Hikari has all eight chips then it is fine and long as it isn't for yourself.
Saki: Of course. My asking you is a decision for the group.
After that, Saki then asked Aqua if they can speak in private and Aqua agreed, and together they went somewhere for a secret talk. Afterwards when they came back, I asked Aqua what was it that they talked about. Aqua only said it wasn't her concern if Saki has her own methods to deal with the mission, long as it has nothing to do with her and the other veterans, and didn't explain more.
Shin was confused as to what Aqua meant, but it was around that time when Hikari and the others finally returned. Since the time on the plane together, it was the first time all eight of them were together again.
