It was now the deployment day for Tichaona who had gone through an eye opening training session with the dark figure. In a short period of time, he had gone from being a novice with his skills to being a henchman worthy of her depraved methods. As soon as she felt comfortable with his ability, she went to a storage room where she kept her military armour and regalia, and came back with a Quendalion suit which was made in his size. Tichaona had no idea how to react, considering he was basically being sent to cause trouble to unsuspecting individuals.
He received the suit of armour and wore it on top of his light clothing. It was a firm piece of gear which felt comfortable and due to his physique, the padding areas that didn’t cover where there were joints, weighed a lot but didn’t seem like much to him. The dark figure even gave him a small weapon which he could mount onto his back. It was a double edged blade that extended upon it being touched. Finally, she handed him a satchel made from synthetic fabrics which contained 7 mana plants. When he was prepped up for deployment, she began to speak to him in a rather unusual manner.
“My husband looked amazing in the uniform similar to the one you’re wearing. A manly man, exuding the demeanour of a true warrior.” she said as she stroke dragged her right hand from his shoulder to his chest area. The stroking was quickly halted when Tichaona held her hand and pushed it away, not showing any signs of revulsion in his facial expressions.
“Well, I guess you really miss him?” he asked.
“Not entirely. He failed to impregnate me due to his impotence and was foolish enough to try and get my brother’s experience points through the assimilation method. I do keep the positive memories of his existence in my mind, but his mistakes do tarnish my pride as a sensible individual. When you choose the wrong one, their failings will reflect on you. I hope in time, when we have gone past the pangs of training, you may also succeed in my husband’s stead.” she said, giving him a wicked smile that seemed rather sensual in nature.
“Well, I think I will focus on getting those girls for now, goddess.” he said, slightly peeved by the fact that she still believed that a romantic relationship was even possible between the two of them with all she had put him through.
“Yes, focused on the goal. Once you get her here, I will be alternating my focus on training you to her. You both need a level increase before we even think of facing him. So I will give you 1 hour tops. If you get back here in less than 30minutes, I will be impressed. Do not kill the higher leveled girl, make sure you subdue them. There is no telling what I would do to you, if you blundered. So make use of the knowledge you have acquired through your training.” she said, patting him on the back as she took a few steps back. The emerald gem on her arm began to glow and the space in front of her began to distort. A portal was created which Tichaona could easily as he marveled at the power. The dark figure urged him on with hand signals and sprinted right towards the portal she created and he went through it. As soon as he made, he realized he was in free fall, at least 800metres in sky. He was hoping to at least appear on a ledge or some form of land, but as usual, the dark figure was a crazy bitch.
Tichaona made use of the detecting and projecting technique which made him break his glide to the ground and made him hover towards the land beneath him. His custom goal had the locations of both of the intended targets. As soon as he land, he quickly checked his surroundings. It was a rocky area with a plethora of trees. Most of the animals that pervaded the scene were cute and small, as compared to the ravenous wolves he had encountered.
They were all low level creatures and due to the education that the dark figure had drilled into him, he knew the names of the species of these animals. Tichaona eventually stopped immersing himself with the scenery and bolted towards the girls. He was 334metres away from them, but with each stride, the distance became insignificant. He began to think that what he was doing was no different from how gang affiliated cronies did the kidnapping and murder for their bosses. All he hoped for, was to get the kidnapping done as quickly as possible. There were no hard feelings here, but just a man doing things against his will.
Isabella Diaz, the tall Venezuelan girl who could have settled with being a model or marrying a rich man in her home country, had lived a rather unexpected life when she was still alive. A life of betrayal and regret as she aided her father’s small business in Caracas. She often would think about her past as she travelled with Alanza Santos, the Brazilian girl with a dainty face, shorter height, freckles, bushy eye brows and large eyes.

She had larger breasts than her taller counterpart and most of her rounded features were perky and could entice any man who had eyes that could see, but all these things were disguised by her pastel goth fashion sense. They had clothes that were brand new and a tent that they were utilizing at the time. Isabella whose paranoia was always high, was always looking out to see what was going on and would pester the shorter and younger girl about the mechanics of Goshem, wishing to understand better how things were working. As they relaxed near a ravine, Isabella began to speak to her.
“Lanza, I hope you haven’t used up your mana on stupid things. We will need to set up traps here.” She said, pointing a judgmental finger at her.
“Big sister, I told you that you don’t need to worry. The custom goal mechanic will pin point us to where the enemy is. Just chill and relax.” said Alanza who took out her iphone and the plugged the ear phone jacks and started listening to Melanie Martinez. She also began to rock her head as if to show that she didn’t really give a fuck about worrying about external forces. Isabella then looked at her with derision and said to herself, “What a weird girl.” After 10minutes of her listen to the music, her phone battery began to complain and she unmounted the earphones and raised her hand. Isabella noticed this and asked, “What are you going to wish for? I hope you’re not going to wish for something silly.”
“I need a solar charger. Don’t worry, I learned my lesson the last time. I will always leave enough mana to wish for mana plants. So no worries big sister.” she said as her left palm began to glow. In a matter of moments, a solar power charger came into existence. Alanza took the charger and placed it right where there was direct sunlight and connected her phone on the charger. As soon as she did that she then told Isabella, “So I am getting the mana now.” Alanza then repeated the same action and this time a mana plant appeared before her. She then immediately started digging in and smeared her face with its juices. The entire plant was finished and her mana had fully recuperated. As soon as she was done, Isabella reclined, at ease with what she had just done, but then, without warning, Alanza wished for something else. This time, a Nintendo switch. Isabella got peeved by this and asked her, “What are you doing wishing for a toy? Isn’t the phone enough? How can this be your main concern when those guys are still out there, searching for us.”
“My phone is charging, so it’s not like I am going to just sit here and look at nature. I would get super bored. So I need something to keep me busy whilst I wait for it to fully charge. Okay I will wish for another mana plant refuel my mana big sister. Like don’t get worried.” she said, looking at her in an uneasy manner.
“Well whatever, just don’t reach zero. We are a team, so don’t put us in a position where we would have to search for mana. I won’t be able to protect us if you get carried away. Besides, why would a girl like you even like video games? Aren’t they for children, aren’t you too old for stuff like that?”
“I see big sis, you haven’t played any so that’s why you’re like that. I like games especially the character designs. With my ability I can cosplay as any of my favourite characters and get my makeup tools. Even in the afterlife, cosplaying is still so addictive. Yare yare.” she said, getting lost in her fantasies.
“It’s clear that we had a totally different upbringing. Well, whatever, just make sure…” she said, as she began to hear the violent thuds of pursuit. Both of them, looked anxious as they heard the thuds draw nearer. Alanza checked her tracker, but the individuals she intended to keep watch were not the one in pursuit of them right now. Isabella quickly rummaged through the tent and got her weapons. She then glanced at Alanza and demanded, “Make sure you refill your mana!” Isabella then concentrated her ears on to what she was hearing and got a hold of her sniper rifle. Gusts of dirt were left in the trail of the pursuer and soon enough he made his appearance.
Tichaona landed in front of them, looking imposing and striking. Isabella felt threatened and didn’t waver pointing his weapon at him. Alanza hid behind Isabella, like a child hiding behind their parent. Tichaona assessed the situation and realized that they were expecting him to be hostile. Before he could speak, Isabella’s Venezuelan accent kicked into gear as she shouted, “Get the fuck away from us you so of a bitch. I will kill you if you try something stupid, so fuck off whilst I am still in good spirits!” Tichaona was taken aback by her words, and even noticed the petrified look in the other girl. He then told her, “Well, you seem to mean business from the get go. Huh, I was honestly hoping to talk you in to it, but you seem to be gun’s blazing. May I ask, where do you get those guns?”
“That shouldn’t matter to you. Tell your boss Hive mind to go fuck himself! I am going to give you the count of 3 so you better run back to him!” she said, glaring at him with driven eyes.
“Hive mind? I have no idea who that is, to be quite honest. I am not hear on behalf of this person…” he said, as she fired. The bullets were fired but Tichaona managed to hear the muscle movement of the girl’s fingers as they pulled the trigger. He simply used strengthening to reinforce his body, which he probably didn’t need if he had a little more faith in his body’s ability to handle the damage of a fired weapon.
The bullets flattened on the wall of energy and the girls looked surprised. Tichaona then went on to say, “That wasn’t very nice. You didn’t even count to 3. I assure you, I have no affiliation with Hive mind, and I don’t even want to know. I came here because my, well, associate, wants to recruit you. Going there can be painless if you just cooperate, besides, I wouldn’t want to hurt beauty ladies like you two.” he said, knowing fully well that the dark figure would probably make it hell for these two girls.
“I don’t trust you. I don’t trust anyone I don’t know in this place.” she said, as she glanced at Alanza. Isabella then winced at her in a manner that was coded and it became clear to Alanza that she wanted her to wish something special into existence. Alanza quickly made use of her hand which was behind Isabella’s back and made a rocket launcher appear. The weapon appeared and dropped to the ground, with impact.
Isabella picked it up and directed it at Tichaona. As soon as she fired it, he quickly dodged it by dashing forward. The rocket was easily evaded and it seemed as if it the missile was going to waste, however, Isabella smiled wickedly as the missile, with no guidance system nor heat tracker, managed to follow him. As he dashed and evaded it, she fired more rockets. Tichaona then chuckled at her efforts and made an energy force field that collided with all the rockets. He had not used his ability yet and watched as the rockets exploded before him. The girls decided to run off and quickly began his pursuit of catching them.
