Chapter 145: Weapon Upgrades
//..Sorry, for acting out...stup... -Aquina.
That was good enough for me, as long as I didn't have a gun trying to pull my arm around while I was swinging a sword around. I was quite attached to my right arm, so I needed my weapon to be at my disposal.
This set up was going to be hard enough to get used to. I decided to pull up my sheet to check out my new weapon. I closed a bunch of tabs to keep the clutter down.

Good, this was a cool system; the weapon acquisition was a bit hairy, but as long as I was the only person that ever...now I sound just as bad. I reached the top of the dune and looked down at my pacing and unfazed Giant Scorpion.
/Okay, Ready, girls?
//Yes! -Sandra.
//...yes -Aquina.
Fair enough, I started to run directly at the creature, and the second I stepped into its aggro, It turned to me and charged. I watched the tail; that would be Aquina's target. Sandra would help me finish the thing.
When I was within range, I started firing at the tail, the first two just barely missing, but Aquina guided my hand. The bubbles section with the stinger exploded, and the scorpion reared up, putting its claws into the air. I change my plan to jump and dropped to slide under.
I stabbed up three times; each delay was painfully slow. I scrambled out from underneath the monster after pumping two rounds from Aquina into it. I turned to see the monster shake and collapse. I watched the monster slowly disintegrate until nothing but the hovering light was left, and I flew to me.
The bottom of my HUD lit up blue and started to pulse.
//See, it was easy! If you would... -Aquina.
//We won together; that's all that matters. Don't be difficult for the sake of being difficult! -Sandra.
Well, at least someone understood where I was coming from.
//I HEARD THAT! -Aquina.
Ugh, I opened the sheet, ignoring the tsundere pistol.

Man, this was cool! Changing and evolving was alright, but this was more my style! Now, where to spend my points, or I guess they are our points. Girls, what do you think?
//Scope and the bullets for me, of course! -Aquina.
//I think Parry and swing speed is best -Sandra.
With a flash, both burst with light and then went out. Sandra had now changed visually, but she was lighter now. Aquina now and a small one point five-centimeter wide silver scope on the top of her barrel.
Alright, now this was working out a lot better, no fighting unless it's with monsters. Now, speaking of monsters, dragon or hydra? Neither sounds good, but I put it to a vote, but I got one from each so, we headed over to the east to deal with the single-headed monster.
I crept over to the east dune; knowing that the dragon was asleep was one thing, but I had no idea where its aggro range was; but with Aquina's new range, I could quickly shoot down the monster, but how many bullets would it take?
/Hey, umm, Sandra?
//Yes? -Sandra.
/Would it be alright if I threw you?
//...Yeah -Sandra.
/I'll make it up to you somehow, okay?
//Ice cream -Sandra.
//Me too! I mean, only if you're getting her one, you better get me one! -Aquina.
/Uh...sure, if I can, I will
I switched the girls around and got Sandra in my right hand. I may not have the active skills from the evolution, but this body was no, joke and I still had my [Dialed up Frogfish]. So, when I let go of Sandra, I was already tossing the gun back to my right hand.
*Bang*
The first shot went off, and I watch the dragon's eye open in slow motion. I was a small excuse for a dragon compared to some of those I have fought in the past. It was a hard bet to try and figure out what killed the dragon.
Sandra clearly hit the target first, but I think Aquina got the final blow. That was awesome; the two made a good team. Now we only had to deal with the Hydra; I waited as the wyrmling disappeared, hard to call it a dragon after dying so quickly.
The warm light streaked to me, and I blinked, and I was back in that first cave I had met Kierra. Well, I can't say I was sorry not to have to fight the hydra, and I was getting tired anyway.
//Don't you want to see what we got, stupid...I mean, Dave? -Aquina.
You cease to amaze me, woman.
/How about you to pick and do your thing, okay? Tell me about it in the morning
I laid down and closed my eyes.
