Finally, we stop, and the girls started to get up, but I put my hand up.
/Wait, we need to stick together, so let me go first. Then you all follow behind; this place is going to be dangerous. Ignore almost everyone we meet and keep your glass clouded; the less they know, the better, okay?
I climbed out of the vehicle, followed by the girls. I turned to wave to our driver, but the bubble closed, and he drove away. At least he didn't drop us out the bottom this time.
//So, were we staying tonight? -Mikota.
/I was hoping Sasha or Kyrina would help us out there in that department
//That this is the sun district, there is a motel called Sandy Nights close -Kyrina.
//After we get settled, Kyrina and I can show the market and such -Sasha.
Talk of the market made me think of Iona and Maxine, but I got that same ominous feeling again. What was going on? Why was I getting this feeling like something is wrong whenever I thought about the girls? They should be heading back... No... NO.
It felt like my shoulder was torn off, causing my drop to my knees, shaking and gripping my shoulder. The girls turned to men, but next was my left leg torn off at the knee. These were all just feelings for my but they for real for here.
Maxine was dying.
I couldn't think; I just looked at Kyrina and ripped my bracelet off, handing it to her.
/Find a place at the motel, and I will be back
//But, Dave, we can... -Kyrina.
But I was gone, and I knew it would be too late, moving like a blur to the edge of the city. I could feel her dying like I was sharing the experience, and It made me push harder. What was happening out there? Had a monster attacked them?
When I hit the edge of the city and got outside the protective bubble, Alta was able to give me an exact location. I willed the suit to change, and I let Diamond feel my rage as the suit expanded as I ran. Soon, my body was over five meters tall, and I started moving faster.
It didn't talk long for me to find the blood-soaked sand. Maxine's body lay on the ground, torn and lifeless, but I willed Diamond to eject me forwards, and I shot out of my MAS into the red-soaked sand beside her. Tear poured down my face as I took the bloody corpse in my arms; Maxine, how did this happen?
Where was Iona, Maxine was dead, but Iona was still alive. I turned to Diamond, and he tried to grab me to put me inside of him, but I put up a hand, my body lines burning a violent purple. I would tear them limb from limb for this; no amount of violence would be enough for the anger and pain I felt right now.
"Where are they?"
"Are you looking for us, Da..."
The second I heard the voice, my brain started to pinpoint the exact location it had come from. I didn't let the traitor finish, Irellia had Iona, and she killed Maxine; no words were needed. I turned and ran at the tall black MAS with the glowing core, covering twenty meters in a blink.
She had never expected me to attack so recklessly and obviously knew nothing about my current strength. I severed the Black MAS unit's arm with a violent hand chop that cut through the arm that held the unconscious form of Iona. Diamond caught her and retreated back, but another Black MAS tried to attack me while I was distracted, but I put up my arm to stop the arm twice the size of my own body.
As the parts shattered around me from the impact, I notice something. There is blood on the parts, and then almost as though time had slowed, I watched the blood-spattered parts fly around me. The arm tried to pull back, but I grabbed the arm with all my might and pulled, ripping it off the suit.
The MAS looked down at me stupidly now with a small arm sticking out, so I willed Diamond to cut it off before doing the same to both their other remaining arms. I hopped up and ripped open the suit, my fingers still glowing dug into the metal like butter, and I tore it open. Inside was the bleeding and smiling form of Kyrin; he shook as he bled out and looked about to die, but he spit up at me, so I crushed his groin with my left barefoot.
"You're lucky I only got one of the bitches! I would have torn each one to shreds for leaving me! How does it feel to have your own bitch betray you like this?"
I didn't answer, I used my fists to talk, and they spoke until his body was an unmoving and unrecognizable pile of flesh. Tears stream down my face as I wasted no time moving to the other black armless MAS. I was about to rip into her, but I was blow off my feet and knocked back ten meters.
The explosion caused me little to no damage, but the concussion left my head spinning as I got up. Diamond was there, and he grabbed me and force me into the suit, which was now large enough inside to fit two people. Once inside, I saw what had hit me, a massive ship that blocked out the sun was aiming weapons at me.
I wanted to stay and finish the job, but I wouldn't risk Iona. I had noticed her face seem pale behind her glass, so the only real choice was to retreat. Diamond turned and disappeared from the spot we stood in as tears streamed down my face.
Chapter 119: Can We Do It Right Now?
My head was awash with emotions, and Iona was in my arms as Diamond took us back to the city. I didn't know what to do; Maxine was gone. I would have to find her now in the next game, but that still didn't stop the feeling we both felt when she died.
I was connected to each of them, and when one died, I felt it happen like it was me. Not the pain but the emotions; it was like payback for my failure to keep them safe. The world and storm blurred around Iona and me as we waited.
Suddenly we burst from the storm and reached the invisible shield. The girls were waiting there for us, suited up.
//Dave, is everything alright? -Sasha.
I almost broke down again, but I pulled it together. Diamond opened up and lowered, making a step with his hands. I walked out of the suit, and it started to shrink down as I stepped off the last hand, carrying Iona's limp body in my arms.
The girls rushed out of their suits and came running over to me with worried looks on their faces. I tried to keep it together, but the weight of it all started to make me crack, but then Iona stirred in my arms. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at me with relief in her eyes, but then they filled with tears that poured down her face, making me start.
"Kyrin killed her Dave, I'm sorry, there was nothing I could..." But I pulled her head to my chest and let her cry.
The rest of the girls were stunned into silence. Tears began to flow from each of the girls, and they crowded around us.
Was this really necessary? Weren't we risking enough without people like Irellia around? Who was still out there, getting some Unlife make-over; I should have been faster and stopped the problem from getting away.
Now, she would come-back for vengeance, again. I wasn't going to let it happen here. Kyrina and I would be the only ones in this race.
"Everyone, You will be talking Iona and everyone but Kyrina back to the ship. Absolutely no arguing; If I could, I would send Kyrina with you all and go alone, but I need a partner. I know there are dangers in each life, but we don't need to take them this time. Go back and figure out what we do next and how we can help Xeno."
Everyone stood silent but slowly started to nod. I wouldn't lose anyone to this race, Diamond and I would make sure of it for Kyrina, but I couldn't protect the rest. I needed them off this planet and back safely on the ship.
I put Iona down in her white skin tight MAS armor, and we all got back into our suits. I willed Alta to send me the spaceport location, and once I had it on the map, I signaled the girls to start moving in that direction. I didn't need arguments right now; I just need everyone to listen and get off this planet. Then I would do the race and win it, and then I would fix Xeno, then I would find Irellia and end her.
Maybe I was letting my emotion get the best of me, but it was hard to care right now. The girls followed me as we came up to the spaceport. The place was still busy, bringing more people down, but not everyone was a racer. Most were tourists who come to buy and watch or merchants to sell and watch the race.
We all walked in our MAS units through the parting crowd, except for Kyrina and her red and black dress, with the pink lack. I had trouble concentrating on anything as we walked along into the spaceport. I couldn't let this get to me; there was more than just my life in the balance here.
We entered the station, and I asked Sasha to arrange the exit flight. I stood still, but Iona and Tilly came up to me, taking my suited arms. I looked down and raised my glass to see them.
I was stunned to see them smiling at me. What was going on? Before I could say anything, Iona spoke.
"Dave, Maxine is okay now; we will see her in the next round, I know it hurts, but she wouldn't want this, and you know that. So, cheer up and keep Kyrina safe; we all understand what your doing," Iona explained to me.
"Don't let it get to you, we all understand the risk of this, and we will find Maxine again next game. This game is far from over, and more of us might lose our lives along the way, don't give up!" Tilly told me.
I was thankful to have girls like this in my life; I would have probably let this eat me up inside. Thanks to them, I could focus on the race tomorrow and plan my revenge another day. I looked over to Mikota and Tama and waved them over to us, and they ran over.
"You're going to win, right? So we can get even with that bitch, okay? Don't mess it up if you're sending us home; I won't be there to carry you if you fall!" Mikota said, coming over to kiss me, pressing herself into me, but then pulling away quickly and letting Tama in.
"Don't die, okay?" Tama whispered in my ear as she hugged me tightly and then kissed me with tears in her eyes, turning away.
Sasha was coming back over with five cards, so I broke away from the group to meet her. There was something I needed to do before they left. I took Sasha's hand and led her off to the side, near a metal wall with fewer people around.
"Can we do it right now?"
"What do you mean?"
Sasha seemed confused, so I explained.
"This morning, Maxine and I shared something, and I need to do that with you before you go. So, can we do it right now?"
Chapter 120: Ignorance Is Bliss
I took Sasha's hand and looked into her eyes; this was hard. I had just shared this experience with Maxine this morning, and now she was gone, and I was about to do it again. I think Sasha understood my hesitation after telling her what I wanted to do, so she took my face in her hands.
The Kiss took us back to the ship when we had talked in a hall, and I had no glowing purple lines. The scenery change was a bit disorienting at first, like Kryina's shwip switch, but Sasha held me. I finally blinked enough times to get things back into focus and stepped back from Sasha.
"We need to talk about some things."
"What do you mean? Why did we have to be here?"
"Because this is a safe place to talk."
"What? Who told you that?"
"Maxine did; she wouldn't lie about that, would she?"
"No, but her avatar would have led a sheltered life here, but I didn't, as you know. Dresnal taught this body thing, and I know them. Unlife can track these waves and decode them. Nothing important should be said in here; Maxine grew up in a world the Unlife have no desire for yet, so they would have no reason to threaten these people."
"Ignorance is bliss, then I guess I can't talk to you about this then, but I don't want you to talk to Jill about me and these lines. You guys leaving is more important than ever now, since the entire plan was reveal this morning, and that how she..."
I left the last part out, letting my words trail off. I had to get it together; Kryina was counting on me, and so was everyone else. I slapped my cheeks and rubbed my hands on my face, then stepping forward to kiss Sasha.
"Knowing why helps, so I am going got keep going and get Alexander. Then we head to your world and work from there! Stay safe and get back to the ship, so I don't have to worry about you guys, okay?"
Then we were back in the spaceport, and Sasha smiled at me.
"Yes, Sir!"
Sasha gave me a mocking salute and then pressed her cool blue lips against mine and turned to start walking over to the girls. Time to get them back and us to our hotel, tomorrow would be a shit show. There will not only be the maze and then storm, but now, the King would be on to our trail as well. With the fight and death of Kyrin so close to the city, there was no way he wouldn't have found out about it.
I walked over to the girls, and it was time to say goodbye. The girls each came and hugged me; then I kissed them before waving them off with Kyrina. Once they were out of sight, I took Kyrina's hand and turned to leave.
We left the station, and I waved a Bubble Cab driver, and the man waved back, so I pull Kyrina along with me. People in the plaza area outside of the station gave us a wide berth and stepped out of our way. The smiling cab driver seemed to be an average human. Well, except for that plastered-on grin that looked painted on his face.
"Hey, my Purple man and Pretty wo-man, those are some fancy MAS you two are rocking there! Where can I fly you lovely folks to?"
The guy seemed friendly enough, but so did the other driver, but this one spoke our language.
"We have a place down by the market."
"Oh? Which market?"
Uh-oh, my brain started to spin like a hamster's wheel, but Kyrina broke in and saved me. She gave Grandon, our location and we climbed in. He was more than willing to give his name to my wife, but I couldn't hold that against him. My day was long enough without making up more petty squabbles.
We both lay in the back with our glass faceplates up, and Kyrina lay on my arm, using it over the pillow. I kissed her forehead and relaxed as we headed back to our motel. When we got there, I paid the driver, and he gave us a weird card with a fingerprint button. Grandon said to use it, and he would come to pick us up whenever we needed it.
The two of us got out of the vehicle and wave goodbye as Grandon closed his bubble and took off. I turned around to find a two and a quarter star motel called the "Desert Rose" in small round lights. Someone had smashed out two of the top lights in the R of Rose, and now it said, "Desert Hose."
"Sounds like a charming place."
"Not much left the day before, and the girls didn't want to mess around here with you out there."
"True enough, do we have a key?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, then let's go inside and order something. This place does have delivery, right?"
"Yes, we are just over there," Kyrina was pointing to the second door from the end.
This place was not what I had expected to see on an alien planet, but this was a game, and all crappy motels looked the same. Two stories, rows of doors on the outside, the only difference between the windows, make the place look more like a prison. Well, it would be a safe prison to sleep in, at least. Hopefully, the night passed without event.
When we got inside, Kyrina took my bracelet and started to order us food. While she did that, I stepped out of Diamond and then headed into the small bathroom to shower. Blood still covered my suit and body, so I turned the shower on, quickly stripping off the stained UW issue suit.
I hopped inside the show and let the hot water wash the blood off my hands and neck, cause red to stain the tub's floor. There had been so much blood, and I couldn't get there fast enough, but there was no dwelling on it. Suddenly the curtain opened from behind me, and a naked Kyrina stepped into the shower.
"We have forty-five minutes until the pizza gets here, so..."
Chapter 121: Comagatcha Bugs
I took Kyrina in my arms as the water cascaded around us. Her body was completely whole, and her dress gone, leaving the soft flesh of her breasts to push up against me as her lips pressed into mine. I pushed all other thoughts out of my head as I felt her hands exploring my body.
I let go of Kyrina and turned her, so her back was turned to me, taking her breasts into my hands and massaging her nipples. As she moaned, I kissed her neck and let one of her soft breasts go, and
slid my hand down her stomach, sliding past her naval. As my fingers sliding into her slit, Kyrina began to moan harder and pushed her ass into my throbbing shaft and ground into it as my fingers moved faster.
Kyrina gasped out and arched her back as I felt the orgasm run through her body. I turned off the water and bent my knees, pushing my face down between her cheeks and licking around the rim of her tight little asshole. Small pants and moans came from her as she moved into my face until I gripped her ass cheeks tightly, push her forward to the damp shower wall.
I stood up and ran my hand up and down her slit, making her legs shake and try to buckle. Then I guided myself into her, only pressing the tip in, making her gasps. I slid my hands from her soft bottom to her smooth waist, taking her in my firm grip.
