Darknym was back In Allastar, he was now so into Merry that he was ready to throw away the whole tower, the raids had no use for him anymore as well, but he had a better Idea of what to do. He created a second clone of himself as he was now.
"Hello Deragonym"
He said to the dragon clone.
"So I am to guard the tower in case of something going wrong in real life"
"Well if all goes right there won't be a reason for you to do anything, by the way as you are now you are two week so you have to train till you reach my current level, take the lost treasure to train your magic and return it to me later you, know the way it works"
The clone left teleporting away and Lightnym appeared.
"Why exactly did we need another clone are you going to change race again?"
"Better, I'm getting married"
"Well congratulations, so you are leaving the tower to us now?"
You might not know but Chris had planned to give Citadel(Town) to Lightnym, while he controls the rest of the Tower.
"By the way I why did you send Prometheus to the prison?"
"He was getting to my nerves, and I once more have a way to turn him into a dragon"
"You mean soul bending right, I saw you use it to turn Gloom into a normal half ork"
"Not exactly just a tiny half-giant"
"So what will The clone rule over?"
"As you both are right now, probably nothing, her take these"
He gave him 10Archmage gift rings.
"Use them to gather more strength, I doubt you have even mastered the first gravity seeing by how you are all sweaty just standing strait"
"It's not easy you know, we Npcs have a lower stat training It will take me a year at least until I make it"
"Well with these rings you will at least be able to become an Archmage"
"I won't be joining the council, I only care about learning all the spells in existence, you probably didn't notice, but there are twice as many spellbook tomes in our Magic tower"
"If you wait a little I will give you another special spellbook from the Archon mage's wish"
Archon's wish gave a special Item to the descendant of your character as your character was deleted.
He got a call from Nancy as he was about to continue talking with Lightnym about stuff he wished to do.
"Darknym you have a problem, after the ruby force bombarded the surface of the lab, next came the Emerald force who are using drones that are digging towards your abandoned Lab, if you enter Destros they will probably be triggered to assault your location"
"By the way how is Bob?"
"He's here with me, his body is a bit messy but inside the game he feels great, If you can do the same you did to the Golden force armors we would be thankful to you, the scavenging their suits was impossible but one suit sold for a lot"
"Is Merry with you?"
"Yes she's here"
"Tell her I love her"
"She sends you a fuck you, are you really a pair?"
"Well it's a finished bussiness, I want, her family wants, she doesn't"
"So like Merry, even if she doesn't want to do something if the family orders she becomes the obedient girl"
"By the way tell her I want to meet her Inside the game to make her a friend request"
"She says, come to Destros if you want one"
"I'll be right there"
"What!"
Nancy could only say before he closed the call.
"I'm going to Destros, ask Dragonym if you need anything"
Lightnym just nodded and saw him disappear as he logged out of the world.
Entering Destros he could feel the whole laboratory shaking, he went down and saw Gabriella with a human baby in her arms probably because he hadn't a descendant gene yet to give.
"What's its name?"
"He's Dredfield Jr, and I hope you have some Idea of what is going on here"
"It's the emerald force, they are digging their way here from the surface"
They heard a crushing sound from the main hall. Darknym looked downwards and saw three large robots that stopped moving after reaching the floor.
"Go!Go!Go!"
He heard them cry as ropes fell from the holes in the ceiling. He was temporarily blinded by a flash bomb, his ears hurting from a strange noise.
When his vision returned he could see no one, but beams hit him one after another. He was standing in front of the Infirmary, no beam passed his body, and the damage he took wasn't even 1% of his now 50% Hp. He couldn't hear yet but He could see Gabriella in pain. For some reason the sound normally did damage to mutants or makes them feel pain, while killing all buglings in the area of the main hall.
Darknym used his astral blade stabbing from where he thought the beams came. blood was seen to pour out of thin air as his blade had damaged a soldiers. Since the blade bypasses armor like his claws do, the only problem is its low damage. They were wearing camo suits with a rather high defensive capabilities, their problem however was that they knew nothing of Ki. In Destros Ki was only usable on the surface of planet Destros, being monopolized by scavengers and industrials.
He saw strange movements in the scenery as if shifts in the air, like glass moving around. Darknym smiled as he put all his stats into agility and strength, more strength. His life was now at 30% since his max health increased.
There were at least three soldiers approaching he knew that because their shadows were still visible on the wall, one was a woman.
With Incredible speed he charged and caught the two soldiers heads, or so he though, one was a boob. He smashed the head while keeping the other, It was such a waste, he thought. Taking away her helmet and throwing her back towards the Infirmary.
The last soldier he punched was squashed onto a wall.
"Retreet!Retreet!Retreet!"
He heard as he saw movements on the ropes. He saw that Gabriella was tending to the now weakened by the radiation brown hair. He was in front of the door when the three drilling machines that were now on the floor bellow self destructed. If he wasn't standing there the two women would have surely died from the blast that took 10% of his Hp away.
"So it seems that you will have a friend on your stay here"
He said but Gabriella with a swift action snapped the brounette's head killing her Instantly.
"I don't think so, and you still owe me a cure for my and Dredfield Jr's condition"
"Whatever, I'll just have to extract some genes from the corpses to further my progress, by the way do we have a rope?"
Gabriella threw him one with a nook on it's end.
Darknym called Nancy and said.
"Are you guys still there, I want to make you a trade, Come here and don't forget to bring Merry with you"
In just ten minutes time, he saw ropes falling once more from the three huge holes in the ceiling.
He could see Bob, Merry and Nancy coming down.
"So what's the trade about?"
Bob asked
"I give you my base here and all that I have and you give me Merry"
Merry terrified, hid behind Bob's back.
"Just kidding"
He said laughing at her frightened expression.
"Truth is that the materials that I have here are not to my liking anymore, my professions have to do with gene engineering and the weapons and armors are a waste to just disassemble, so here is the deal, you will take all the things that I have in hold but provide me with the materials I ask, as long as they are of equivalent value of course"
"Why would we even bother we can take them when you are away now"
Merry said and Gabriella pointed a gun at her.
"Easy girls"
Said Darknym.
"Gabriella, this is my future wife Merry we are just starting so don't be so bothered by what she says, she has such a hot..."
His dick was erected just looking at her appearance and remembering that kiss and the times before.
The ones he could remember.
"Guys I will return her to you later"
He said grabbing Merry by the waist and taking her to his spawn point through the dark hole in the door.
-Merry the scavenger has refused to have sex with you -
- further tries will ban you from Destros for 24 hours -
Darknym in a fit said.
"So this is how it will be then don't despise me if I go with others then, but know that in the real world, your pussy Is mine"
He said while tearing with his now monstrous strength the door down.
While the scavengers took almost everything, Darknym asked them to leave the lab as it was, and the generator running in order to have light at night, all the armors and weapons he let them have.
He sent a message to the chief.
"Can I respec My points, I think I won't need the points again, by the way is there a way to increase my In-game luck?"
"There is but only if no one other than you knows about it"
"Believe me no one will"
He said laughing while being swarmed by bugling in the Hangar area.
That day he Maxed all his mutant genes to Max capability one after the other. Gabriella was Happy to hear him say that he was now able to turn her back into a human. It was probably midnight outside the capsule.
"So after this it will be goodbye, then"
Darknym said seeing the beautiful female commander.
He couldn't call Mona because she wasn't online and calling her home was rude, since they weren't exactly friends.
Now only the Diamond force was expected to attack tomorrow and he had all his genes At triple digit. His Y and X genes to be precise were his most powerful weapons. He even created the Z gene as his descendant gene now knowing what exactly that would give him.

The problem of this ability was that he knew nothing about the abilities he would gain or lose.
He went to the Bugling queen and after paralyzing her with his abilities in lightning and taking care of the nuisances turned her into a naked copy of Merry.
All she was saying was
"breed, breed, breed"
Since she was now the same species as him she saw no danger from him for some reason.
He was happy for this simple minded creature, although it had no special powers at all. He fucked it so hard but it wasn't the same, his creation was stupid and liked the feeling, it was as if she was the one doing the job not him and he liked to have the upper hand on all things.
He changed her shape once more, this time giving her, her powers as a swarm queen, she was now a mutant who could summon buglings, her level being around 3000, but the buglings were level 1 for some reason he didn't really care about. He also changed her stats to make her more clever, making her his first Minion. She still had the Red hair but her face was more refined and pretty than Merry's, on her head she had two antennas and a helm like thing that had two red bugling eyes, the rest of her body was human or so it seemed from the outside, inside some organs were different.
Her new race was Mutant subspecies Bugling queen,
After a small tutoring by him she could speak and understand simple things.Gabriella would have loved to kill their new mutant roommate but Darknym promised that if she did then it would be her he would be fucking for stress relief.
He called the Queen Roxie, she even had a profession from the beginning called guardian, Guardians are the equivalent of saying Bosses, it only gives more stats as she would grind the profession, of course she couldn't, because monsters can't grind professions in FSK. The profession was probably made for beast tamers and other such classes in order for them train the creature.
The day after Darknym entered Destros once more, he could see A large ship covering the sky, He could see a light becoming bigger and bigger as time passed.
"What is that?"
He asked Gabriella who was running with her baby towards the decayed Tunnel of the lowest floor. Darknym grabbed Roxie who was happily looking at it as a sort of invitation and followed Gabriella downstairs.
They were down the tunnel when the gigantic light passes all the way towards them. Darknym had already cast grant rebirth to the three of them.
(Grant rebirth)
The target gains a revive option after
he dies, non stackable, doesn't works
if he dies of gene degradation.
The light shone for a few minutes, his 50% Hp turned into 2% and at last into 0.9% before the beam had stopped.
He was holding in his hands parts of what remained of his Npc companions after they had already revived once.
He would have used "Revive the dead"
restricted to fresh corpses 4hours time limit.
But he lacked an 100% gene Integrity. He saw the Clear waters HQ mostly fine, only a corner of it had turned to ashes. The ship wasn't about to leave however, Darknym saw them charging a second beam in his last minutes he decided to use the final Evolution, knowing full well that if he died in those event his character would be deleted anyway.
He was now closed inside a cocoon with 100% of his total life points. If anyone had seen the cocoon he would say it was taken from a horror movie.
He was logged out of the Destos and a message popped up.
- Character Updating patch -
- Your character has been locked up for one week time, if you want to play -
- Destros you can delete your character and start with a new one from scratch -
He couldn't see it inside the game but there were others who could, Bob and Nancy, as well as Merry were uploading the video of the giant spaceship shooting its beam on the evil looking cocoon, each beam didn't even do a 10% of damage to it's health and at the cooldown period of the beam, the cocoon regenerated at a frightening pace.
They could not see the name above the cocoon, since it was hidden by it's structure, seeing only the first letter "D".
Darknym was a little mad about the loss of his npc companions but at least his character was okay, They were just Npcs anyway. He stayed in the hall for a little to see the spaceship shooting beams at his character at a large screen in the cafeteria as he went to take something to bite and left for the lab.
All game channels were broadcasting the event but as time passed on the damage the spaceships did only became smaller, at some point they had begun trying to take the cocoon off the ground, to study it and maybe find a way to destroy it.
He was Now in the lab, where he saw an office lady and a researcher talking, he gave them no mind and went further inside. He didn't know her but she did well, she was Lucy and her in-game tag was Lucilda, she was DKing's wife and the Lady Director of the administrators department.
======================================================================================
Lucy POV
She was asking favors for her guild, like a boost in luck or a reset for some of her guild mates, when she saw him pass the corridor.
She still held a grudge against him for not doing what she had ordered him to do and him stealing the maiden in distress at the end of the movie made them more of a laughing stock than the victors. Many asked why they hadn't just reported him, it was a mess lying, that they had but he was just given a light warning as it was his first time doing something like that after all.
She followed him down the hall and saw him going into the strange capsule.
"What is that capsule for?"
She asked the operator in the control room.
"Oh lady director, that capsule is a fused capsule for research purposes, you see these bars here give us his vital functions, these are his mental stability and these levers regulate the level of pain and mental stress"
"Sound like a torture device to me"
"Don't see it like that, you see that over there, that's the analysis of how pain and stress function on the physical body"
"And what is he doing now?"
"Mental strength exercises, I apply a small stress to his mind and take it back when he feels he can't go on or wants a break"
"Go have a break, I will look after his training in the meantime"
"I don't know"
He answered somewhat worried, seeing her vicious smile.
"Go now!"
She shouted and the operator obliged.
She put the physical pain output to max and heard him scream in pain from the speakers.
The Operator still not far away rushed Inside.
"What have you done, are you crazy"
He said while trying to take her hand off the lever and put it to zero.
Crack!
With a small sound the lever was left in her hand and now she was in deep trouble, she only wanted to punish him a little but now Both of them were sitting helpless hearing him scream in pain and terror, there was no forced shut down since the person inside could become disabled by accident if that happened .
"Wait here and don't do anything as I go fetch the Chief and some gear that may be needed"
She sat down and waited, she could do nothing. Unexpectedly in a few minutes Merry came into the control room. She smiled as she heard him screaming and loathed his now twisted from pain face and lifted the second lever up.
"What are you doing!"
Now shouted Lucy in surprise trying to set the lever to it's former level.
"No, let me do it, I have to..."
Merry protested.
Crack!
Went the second lever.
Lucy was frightened as she watched Merry laughing victoriously as she took the lever and ran outside.
Ten minutes passed and now Chris wasn't even making sounds anymore, she could now see smoke coming from the capsule and suddenly the door opened and Chris came out totally fine.
She was relieved to see him fine, she charged outside the control room and said.
"I'm really sorry it it was meant as only a joke, I didn't want it to end like this"
She could see his eyes as dead as a fish, he looked at her and opened his mouth but no sane words left his mouth.
"What in the world happened here!"
Shouted the Chief of developer accompanied by ten other people, two of whom were wearing surgical gloves.
"Merry came and she put the mental stress to the max and then after I tried to stop her it broke as well, after she left he came out of the capsule by himself but..."
"Are you alright Chris?"
The chief asked holding his hand trying to feel his pulse.
"Was never better"
He said in reply.
"Would you mind If we throw a few tests on you just to be on the safe side"
"But of course, What is better than being safe, right Lucy?"
Lucy didn't know why but something in the man before her was really frightening.
"By the way Fred, can you tell me a little about that Idea of yours of making new planets for Destros, it sounds quite good"
"Well it's only in the first stages, I really shouldn't trust Sellers, he blabbered everything to his future son in law"
"It was Merry who told me"
Chris said with a wide smile.
"Then its forgivable"
The chief said somewhat relieved.
They were now in the Infirmary, they took all the tests possible and other than a small variation in his brain patterns.
"Can you tell what this pattern means?"
Asked the chief worried and a little excited at the same time.
"Its similar to the Psychometry but with some small variations here and here, that tend to indicate telekinesis and telepaphy"
"Will he be alright?"
"Well I can't tell for sure but if he doesn't overdo with the use of his powers then he will probably be just fine"
"Chris now more than ever you are a key for the game's evolution, you hear me, with your mind we can at last unlock the patterns we need to make the game complete"
Said the Chief engineer excited and made a fast call to the Owner.
Lucy was surprised at the development but if anyone asked her to pass what he did to gain psychic powers she would probably decline the madman's offer.
Lucy apologized a hundred times for her ill mannered joke that could have easily cost him his life.
Chris just smiled and said.
"Don't worry I'm alive aren't I"
And laughed with a strange almost frightening laugh.
=========================================================
Merry's POV
While in Destros with Bob and the gang she got a message from the Chief saying that her future husband in law is trapped in the 3rd Lab but they will do everything in their powers to get him back without a scratch on him. She logged out rushed to the lab in her pajamas saw Lucy sitting in front of the console and moved a lever she saw down.
'If he becomes disabled she wouldn't have had to marry him and Lucy wouldn't mind, no woman would mind the death of that lowlife especially if it was in an accident'
To her surprise Lucy tried to stop her, the result was more to her liking, she took the broken lever as a souvenir to remember his doom, no one would say anything against her, she was the boss the highest in the ladder of control and even if they did she could always lie or cover it up with bribes.
She was now inside Destros once more when a second message came from the chief, saying that her husband was now fine and that he was coming to see her right now.
Merry panicked, she went and locked her room and awaited for the doorbell to ring. She didn't know what the maniac could do to her in revenge if he had heard what she had done from Lucy but why else would he come up to her room otherwise, of course he must have heard.
"I came to thank you Merry and to tell you that if you ever decide to apologize you can always call me"
She was Puzzled why wasn't he mad at her or like the wild boar he is ram at her door, she knew many men would do that, was he plotting something even worse than that.
Merry entered the game once more but was a little out of her waters, normally she came up with strategies to use, topics to talk about but now she just sat down in thought watching the Beams falling at the cocoon. You see when they tried to touch the cocoon it begun sucking their life out of them let alone lift the cocoon, they couldn't even touch it as it even damaged metals that touched it with a strange lightning, while their tractor beams were useless on the ground.

"What are you thinking Merry?"
Asked Nancy
"You know Chris had an Accident today"
She replied
"Is he okay?"
Asked Bob seemingly worried.
"He seems okay but he's begun to frighten me"
She answered.
The two could see the strange fear for him, that wasn't there all the times she had met him before, at most she would belittle him, they were truly curious to learn what could make her fear him.
An awkward silence occurred unnerving all the scavengers in the HQ.
"Did they give up?"
Asked Bob to lessen the tension.
It was dark but their night vision was working just fine, they could see the cocoon slowly opening or more like disappearing, inside there was a monstrous creature with fangs and horns, it had black smokey wings that expanded from it's back. It had no name tag and it flew towards them with speed that was no faster than their own. As it left the hole, it landed and took a human form that was that of Chris in real life, It even wore his clothes.
"How do you feel Merry any better?"
He said seemingly concerned.
"See there's nothing to fear it's only Darknym who decided to log in again"
Said Bob happy to see him.
The others were also relieved and all but Merry instantly logged out and entered Altgaia.
There she was safe since she had seen all his characters abilities some days before and knew that
his Altgaia character was his only weak avatar.
====================================================
Chris POV
After the "Accident" he had problems understanding what others talked to him about he couldn't even remember what had happened inside the capsule. He tried to say
"I don't understand what you are saying"
But the unknown woman in front of him was now silent, it seemed as if she also didn't understand what he said.
He saw the Chief developer come to him,
He touched him and a world of new Information overflowed his mind.
He now knew everyone who was present there, He even knew what had happened in his absence, but from Lucy's words Merry had the last saying, he touched Lucy once and learned more than he need to, That day he absorbed tons of Information from the doctors,researchers and other employees.
He then went to see Merry, he wanted to know more about her but she wouldn't even open the door. He said some words to lure her out but she wouldn't bite she probably was frightened right now and it was understandable it was the second time she had tried to kill him and failed.
He went to his room and Installed his device, he did some minor modifications he saw in the Researchers' memories. He didn't however want to attract too much attention so he asked the researchers for a favor and they let him out of the cocoon earlier than a week. The only reason they need a week was because there was a list of hundreds who went minor or greater changes so they simply put him first on the list.
His new Race was Omega, He didn't know what it was but he didn't care. He wanted to see Merry once more, she owed him an apology after all. In the end she left for Altgaia where he was the weakest being or so he thought. Of course he had no plans of giving up just yet.
He entered Altgaia, his character was ready to begin the tutorial. He left the Training facility and saw Luther.
"Are you ready for the second part of your training?"
"Is it time consuming?"
"Well you could say it is, go to the Quarter master with Max and select your weapon of choice, be sure to try them out first"
Darknym just Nodded and went towards Max who awaited him outside the room. He felt a little strange as if he wasn't whole, as if something was missing, but disregarded it because he was too eager to find Merry.
"So what comes after the weapons"
Asked Darknym still looking through the numerous strange futuristic weapons.
He tried some guns but only a small pistol was to his liking, he was between the pistol and a strange whip-like weapon that could grab and restrain targets.
"Just keep them both"
Said Luther who had come in a hurry.
"We are going on a mission, just the three of us, it's your first mission so be careful out there, don't engage anyone until I tell you to"
They gave him a black tuxedo and in a moment they were in a strange floating car flying towards somewhere else.
"Do you know where Blue street is?"
Asked Darknym.
"Don't bother your mind with unnecessary stuff and focus on the mission rookie"
Shouted Luther
"There are three of us and five of them, you have to survive this mission to enter the next step of your training"
He explained seriously.
"Do we need to know anything about the Aliens?"
Asked Darknym.
"Just seek and destroy"
Said Luther.
They reached a building that looked like a constructions site only with walls on the inside. They entered the door seeing five small gray aliens with large heads and round Eyes, they had no visible weapons, they just stood there and waited.
"Shoot!"
Shouted Luther taking up his rifle like weapon, Max had a large weapon, that looked like a shotgun with four lines, only one of which was lit, the yellow.
Darknym took out his own pistol and begun moving tactical around them while the others just shot them all to death.
Only one alien remained.
"Finish him rookie!"
Shouted Luther.
Darknym charged at him and punched the alien, in the face, he then restrained him with his whip.
"Why did you capture the small pest?"
Asked Luther rather irritated.
"I want to experiment some things for future reference and a living one is better than four dead ones"
"Whatever we will have to lock him in the HQ, but for future reference, don't ever disobey a superior's orders it might kick you out of an agency ASAP"
Darknym just nodded and took the restrained alien dragging it to their vehicle. They also cleaned up the four corpses, taking them with them, Max showed him how it was done while Luther looked after the captured alien.
"Do we have a research laboratory in the base?"
"That's where you are headed next anyway, normally we only use corpses for research but I really would like to know what you want to do to this pest"
He asked as he punched the alien.
"Nothing match, just find stuff about them, what effects some of our stuff do to them"
"Well it doesn't really matters to me since a bullet will always work better than those specified gadgets"
Said Luther now looking down on him even more for some reason.
"This is your reward for today"
It was 10credits.
"It goes 10credits a head so next times just do what I say and shoot like crazy, the aliens will do the same anyway"
Darknym looked at his stats and saw that he had got a three skills that were not from any professions.
Psychometry skill
Can use all weapons at full proficiency after touching them.
Mind reading
Can see player name tag and level.
Telekinesis
Can move Items around with your mind.
Only Telekinesis could be leveled up, but he was more interested in the Psychometry skill. He took out his pistol, its damage had now risen by 1000% without him doing anything, but it had no critical chances anymore. That was probably because each shot was considered a critical by itself.
Telekinesis was a bit strange since it took Tech to use, his tech was too little to use it but for some reason he felt still something was missing. Of course all three skills were broken but who would care about it.
He grind his telekinesis, little by little raising his Tp at a really fast rate.
"Did you finish studying the corpses?"
Asked Luther irritated, Daknym had spent at least an hour grinding his researcher skills, they were the same as those in Destros, but he could also dissect alien lifeforms to gain some Info about them, for him they were just extra points for his profession.
The gray aliens were bio-robots that could have multiple functions, it was like seeing the equivalent of himself in alien form.
"Yes"
Said Darknym as he let the scalpel on the research table.
"Then lets begin the third step, follow me to the next mission, this time you must take some extra gear and one of these"
He showed him a strange open metallic tube-like bracelet.
"This is the only weapon useful against Eye aliens, although I highly doubt you will ever have the chance to use it, the best thing to do if you see them is run at full speed, our mission is to secure the target and run"
Darknym already had an Idea of what was awaiting them. He went to the living alien's cage and saw that he was silently siting back looking at them.
Darknym had now to chose from two bionic enhancement chips. One was a power shield for his arm and the other was a power blade that could extend from his arm. He took the shield, since they were to escort someone it made to him more sense to use a shield.
The shield had a crappy durability that wouldn't work for more than one shot before breaking, even his pistol could crush it in one shot, even without the psychometry's effects.
They gave him a smoke grenade, a plastic explosive with a trigger and a small high tech mine that would explode when approached by an alien.
This time the whole team came, using two hovering cars to arrive at what seemed to be the same building as before.
Normally he would have logged out by now since it was getting dark but he was too frustrated and a good shootout could give him some relief.
They entered the building and Luther now acted as a leader once more.
"Wiz and Max stay here, Geda and rookie follow me upstairs"
Darknym was a little confused from Luthers carefree walking at the middle of the room, the middle of the stairs and not even stopping before a corner to scout ahead.
They climbed three floors and were now at a parking lot for hover cars.
"This is the target, Geda and rookie secure the target"
Luther pointed at a lazy looking geek.
Darknym didn't really care about the target, he only wanted to end the mission, since the mission wasn't what he was waiting for. Once the had secured the target a sound came from bellow like an explosion.
"Rookie and Geda go downstairs and secure that no one reaches our floor before 10minutes have passed"
Luther commanded as he now begun doing something to a nearby car.
"Lets go!"
Shouted Geda as she rushed to the door.
"Use your mine on the door, it will secure us an extra minute if the hostiles sneak past you"
Ordered Luther waiting for him to use his mine.
After he did what he was told to and they went down a floor, Geda hid behind a pillar and said.
"Trap the stairs, I'll trigger the explosion manually if I see hostiles climbing the stairs"
He did what she told him and was ordered by her to go further down.
He saw Wiz and Max climbing up the stairs, they both were badly damaged.
Max lacked an arm and Wiz was giving off sparks.
"Run, It's the eyes!"
Shouted Wiz and then his head was crushed through a wall.
The one who did that looked like a human, if they didn't say to him he was an alien he would have sworn he was Max's cousin, since he was large and looked as strong as Max.
"Are you supposed to be an alien?"
Said Darknym mockingly.
The man looked at him with an Indifferent gaze as if looking at an ant to be crushed under his feet.
"Did you get them big?"
He heard a sexy female voice say.
Darknym used his telekinesis to throw the big guy down the stairs, at advanced 5, he could move a big enough object once.
"What was that for?"
Said another voice from bellow.
"Max take what remains of wiz up, I will buy us some time"
Said Darknym as he headed down.
"Hello and welcome to Altgaia"
Said Darknym smiling to the three human aliens.
"Why isn't he running?"
Asked the smaller male from the group.
"I don't know small"
Answered the Big one.
"He's trying to buy time"
Said the female.
"Medium is right"
Said the smaller one.
"Big kill him fast so we can ascend"
Said medium, the female of the group.
She looked like an angel in a white tuxedo, The aliens for some reason wore the reversed colors of their clothes, instead of black and white inside they wore white and black inside. Darknym shot with his pistol at the charging with great speed white gorilla, he looked like a gorilla if you saw how he looked. Each shot only tore his sleeve some more, He was almost upon him when he extended his hand and only missed him by an inch.
"Put the detonating gauntlet on his arm, now"
Came a voice from inside his head.
The alien was for some reason frozen he took out the tube-like thing and wore it with haste on his hand. He heard three ticks before it exploded almost in his face. He was lucky he activated his power shield just in time.
The shield shattered and he was blown towards the wall, only an arm remained of what was the big guy before.
Seeing him down the two remaining aliens begun walking towards the stairs. Darknym begun bombarding them with his pistol as he shot in rapid succession, he hadn't even activated his trigger happy skill since he didn't enjoy shooting from the floor and he would at least need a second gun to activate it anyway.
"I will take care of him"
Said the small guy but before he had finished his sentence Darknym had shot with telekinesis the chick towards the wall behind him. The only reason he wanted to buy some time at the start was so that he could regain some of his lost tech points.
The Man charged at him and only by miracle he could keep up with the high speed movements of the alien npc. He didn't know their week spots of their strength but judging by their fighting style they either were martial artists or they were to confident in their strength and agility.
He was losing badly but still somehow managed to block the female back with his whip when she tried to go upstairs.
"Retreet! you cannot win"
said the voice from inside his head, he now could recognize as Wiz.
'Bullshit'
He thought as he was still just barely dodging the alien's clutches until he was hit. The pain he felt was as if he was hit by a real punch, which was later followed by a round kick, his Hp went bellow 10%.
The alien would have let him lie on the floor if he hadn't stood up, but Darknym was not going to give up, his Hp would only last him for another hit but his anger was off the scales now, his eyes were red and his berserk rage skill fully activated.
With his full mastery of the skill he could last for 2804 minutes without dying and his adrenaline rush was already activated. He charged at the alien and this time it was an exchange of attacks, a brawl, fist to fist, he had only 1Hp left which however could not be depleted and could fight for two whole days unless he logs out or is affected with some mental attack, both of which were not going to happen anytime soon.
Seeing small in trouble, medium also joined the fight, they were dominating him but he stood up and just charged like a mad bull head on once more. At some moment Darknym saw some effect, he had hit small's arm in the strange orb that was now visible in the inner side of his elbow. It was small but each time he hit it he seemed in some kind of pain, causing Darknym delight to know that they could be hurt as well.
Their Hp however were almost full however while his were stuck on 1Hp, He couldn't stay angry forever with a telekinesis on himself he jumped over small and shot right at the orbs on each elbow.
He saw small's health falling at least 20% down with each shot.
The two alien were now at a loss, His eyes still shone red but he could now damage them if they charged blindly. Small was at around 50% of his Hp while she was around 90, but the tables had visibly switched.
"Good work Rookie, we have secured the escape vehicle, come up so that we can finish our mission"
To his surprise Small and Medium charged towards the exit as if they knew that the mission was over but he wasn't going to allow that, he used his whip and with one lucky swing caught medium by the elbow, the electric current from the whip seemed to work on her just fine at first but then she grabbed the whip and pulled him towards her giving him a healthy armbar to his face. He felt dizzy but he still used his telekinesis to pull her back as she was trying to exit the room. Small was long gone and she looked really angry right now as she flew towards him.
He with a swift movements restrained her arm behind her back and shot a few beams at her orb. She was now at 10% and he could feel fear overcoming her, he took his whip and restrained her whole with it's ability. She didn't even resist anymore, she remained silent as he dragged her with him towards the upper floors.
"What the fuck, we are not taking that thing with us"
Said Luther seeing his latest catch.
Darknym remained silent.
"Can't you just keep the arm of that other guy you killed, it's the same thing anyway"
Luther complained.
"Darknym, we all agree on this one, taking her to our HQ is out of the question"
Said Geda, mostly afraid.
"Then take me to my home, I will leave her there for safekeeping"
Darknym said trying to compromise
"Do you have a restriction facility?"
Asked Luther with sarcasm.
"No"
Answered Darknym truthfully and with a little of regret, knowing that they probably knew that he hadn't one. In truth only guilds could have one.
"Then the answer is also a no!"
Said Luther Victoriously.
"Then leave without me, I refuse to abandon my trophy"
He said while grabbing her sexy alien ass.
"Are you for real you haven't even passed the tenth step of your training and you want to give up just for a fucking...(lost in thought for a second)...trophy?"
Shouted Luther in anger.
"And what were you doing while I was fighting for your sorry asses, hiding in the safety of the third floor behind all your subordinates as if some kind of big shot, I don't even care about your agency anymore, I'm quitting and I'm making my own and as for the other three pussies you have with you, go run away as much as you like, I'll pass sometime in the future to collect the gray sample from your HQ"
"Don't even bother he'll probably dead already from overloading himself, they do that after a day or two in captivity"
"Whatever just say to your leader that I'm out of your agency"
He saw terror in the three agents' face and delight in Luther's face.
"I'll happily kill you myself when the order comes till then stay hidden from our radars"
Said Luther as he stepped on the pedal.
Darknym went outside and saw small waiting inside a car for medium.
"Stay right there or I'll kill her!"
Shouted Darknym as he pointed a gun at her orb.
Small was now silently watching confused, Darknym's actions were nothing like a normal agent's. From the start he had disregarded orders and just fought them head on.
He opened the car's back seat and went inside with medium, He applied a bandage on himself which for some reason only did half the healing.he then put a medical tape and it did wonders.
He put a medical tape on Medium as well but to his surprise the effect was nothing like healing. she was completely paralyzed from the tape and further. It might have been that the tape was on her orb but he saw that it was super effective in restraining them.
"Take us to my home and I might let you get away safely, and give this guy a burial"
He threw Big's arm to the front seat.
The two aliens didn't understand what was happening, in truth they were also biological weapons created by aliens only a little different from him, more advanced.
Darknym gave Time a call seeing that he was Online and all.
"Time, could you help me with a little cash in Altgaia, I want to create an agency but I'm lacking funds"
"Is that you Darknym, it's been a long time, by the way what on earth did you do to Aurora, she acts as if you are the devil himself, not that the TV doesn't say the same"
"Just having fun by the way I've got a guild in Allastar that I was hoping you would join"
"I'm fine with joining but don't await from me to do stupid stunts like yours"
"Nah I'm finished with those, you see I'm getting married shortly and want to open a new page"
"Congratulations, by the way what race are you in Altgaia, not a bionic I hope"
"Why is there a problem with being a bionic?"
"You don't know, do you?"
"Stop screwing around and start talking business"
"You see I'm an Alien, and I've got my own agency that hunts Bionics, if I help you then I will lose my place among my own"
"Then how about I make an Alliance with you It should make less damage to you"
"Only if you became a subordinate and that would make your agency into a rogue agency"
"Fine by me so when can we meet"
"I'll try coming tomorrow at the same time, you see my spaceship is a little slow when traveling to the other side of the globe"
"I'll create the guild by then and the agency when I've got the cash to afford it, do you have a guild by the way?"
Asked Darknym.
"It's not mine but I'm a high official since I've got my own spaceship"
"Why don't we talk In allastar, I've just reached home here by the way"
"I would love to but Aurora is a bit itchy"
"Do you like her or something, she's just an npc anyway, I'll teleport you both to my tower once I connect"
Time closed the line and he saw his leaving Altgaia and entering Allastar.
Darknym took the restraints off of medium and closed the door.
"You are free to leave but don't think you will be as lucky the next time we meet"
That he said to medium whom he let free because he didn't have time or a place to keep her yet. The car sprung into motion so fast that he didn't even see their faces as they rushed away. He entered his old house and teleported to his own room, from where he logged out after leaving his character in healing capsule.
It was probably midnight in the real world but in Allastar it was daytime.
With a Quick teleportation spell he teleported both Time and Aurora to his Palace.
"Welcome to my palace"
He said as he saw Time who now looked like a wealthy merchant of sorts and Aurora wore a similarly fancy dress.
"It seems the rumors only belittle your palace, it seems really expensive"
"Well it cost a few billions to build"
Boasted Darknym.
"By the way I think It's Impossible to help you in Altgaia, I went through the rules of my guild and they won't allow it"
"Then leave their guild and Join mine"
"It won't be the same"
He said somewhat nervous, since he had made friends there.
"Then how do you plan of paying me back"
"Well I could pay you in Destros if you are in Echidna that is"
"Don't feign Ignorance you must have seen me in the gaming news by now, I'm the only mutant in Destros at the time being at least"
"So how will we do it then"
"Easy, since you will become a member of my guild here you can return the money right here in Allastar in time or in Altgaia since I won't be leaving Destros anytime soon"
"But I can't pay you in Altgaia and in Allastar I'm already having some financial problems"
He had just bought some stuff to sell on the next city
"Then how about this I'll hold Aurora here as collateral till you pay back, also since you are joining take these three rings, they will help with your character's development"
Darknym was delighted seeing Aurora's beautiful face shrink in fear but he had no plans of touching her, yet at least.
"Aurora don't be afraid, I have already foreseen it tomorrow my spaceship in Altgaia will arrive, but we must meet to make the deal final and as for me joining the worst, I'm really starting to regret it"
He said as he teleported away by using one of the rings Darknym had provided him with.
Darknym Logged out and went to sleep it was a late hour and he had plenty of stuff to do tomorrow.
