Chapter 70: WREXALLIAN'S DETECTED



Chapter 70: WREXALLIAN'S DETECTED

"What are we supposed to do?" I asked as we ran back down the hallway Sasha had led us up before.

"Don't worry too much. Everything runs with your thoughts. All the MAS units are equipped with thrusters for mobility in space, but that won't be the problem. According to the message I just got from Alta, Wrexallian signatures are trying to get into the cabin area," Sasha explained as we reached the hangar bay.

We entered the hangar and Tilly, and Mikota ran to the right side and put their hands to the helmet, and the suit opened up. Both turned and backed into the MAS units, Mikota was covered with gray plating, and then neon blue and hot pink lines ran through the skin-tight suit. On the other hand, Tilly's suit was black and red with more rocket ports than you could imagine. The suit looked a lot heavier, but when they both stepped out of the racks, they were no difference in the way they moved.

Sasha took us over to our MAS suits and directed us to do the same as the girls. Tama and I stepped up to our suits and place our hands on them. Both opened up to reveal a smooth interior of circuits and padding. I turned to look and see Sasha entering her black and white suit that was covered in small speakers and two larger ones facing forwards on her shoulders.

I turned back to my suit, Diamond Edge, that was open and waiting for me. The MAS was solid grey with reflective hexagon lines covering the entire suit. Knowing that time was of the essence, I turned and backed into the suit.

Darkness washed over me with the suit covering up, but then I could see clearly just as before. This time there was a light blue overlay HUD, but nothing was displayed on it for the moment. I stepped forward, and my movements felt more delicate, and I felt like I had a lot more strength in all my limbs.

I turned to Tama, her suit was black with green stripes, and the menacing-looking helmet had braided metal tendrils coming from it. The suit looked really good on her, but I had no time to be thinking about that. I turned to Sasha, and she motioned for us to follow her, Tilly, and Mikota to another large door that was opening.

Once we were all inside the room, the door closed, and I felt gravity let go of me.

//STABLIZING ACTIVATED

The message flashed twice in green and then disappeared, but I could move some was normality. While waiting for the exterior doors to open, Mikota showed me how, if I concentrated and was confident in my steps, I could walk anywhere. She demonstrated this by walking up a set of stairs that didn't exist, then Mikota walked around 360 degrees, like a backflip, but just walking around instead of jumping and turning.

"What are Wrexallian's?" Tama asked when the door was almost open.

"Creatures of Unlife, created and sustained by Dynam that has been fused with negative energy. I can't go into detail too much right now, but just know that they are dangerous and the enemy. Later, if we survive, I will explain more."

With that, Sasha leaped forward, and jet streams powered her into space. Tilly and Mikota followed, and even Tama was already sailing into open space after them. I didn't want to get left behind, so I jumped and willed myself to follow them, and somehow I did!

It was a weird feeling, but soon all thoughts of feelings left me as we move farther up the side of the ship. The form of a large ship, twice the size of the one we arrived in, was moving towards us. It looked to be in rough shape. Large tears in the ship's hull indicated that something massive had attacked this ship using some type of melee weapon, but then my sensors started to go off, and a sonar-like map appeared in the right corner of my HUD with a sizeable red blip on it.

"What is that thing behind the ship?" Tama asked, her voice tinged with worry.

I looked but couldn't see anything at first, but then my HUD zoomed in for me, and I could see the thing chasing the ship. A whale? No, but similar, like the metal bones of one with a bright green glowing core. Where did this thing come from?

"Dreadnought, great. This is really bad. There is no way we can fight that," Tilly said with worry.

//Don't worry, I am on my way, go and deal with the ones on board. There are two of ours on there!

That was Jill's voice, so I assumed everyone heard the same. With quick looks, we all turned to the oncoming ship.

"Tilly, you slow the ship with me, and the rest head inside through the gash in the side."

"Awe, I wanted to see Jill tear that thing apart!" Mikota complained to Sasha but turned back to us after. "Follow me and be on guard. All of our people are trapped in the cockpit, so don't hesitate, or we will all die."

Mikota's words were severe, and I understood. Even though I might be new to this game, fighting for my life and the lives of others are nothing new to me! Mikota took off, and I could see dust particles that started to surround her.

Soon, her MAS, Plague Strider, had made two more copies and had taken guns from the main body. Together the three were indistinguishable from the other, and we followed after. Within moments, we had reached the tear in the ship's hull.

Mikota sent in her clones but motioned me to flow them, while Tama took up the rear with her. I pulled the Naginata from my back, and suddenly I felt the power from my suit go into the blade.

//WREXALLIAN'S DETECTED, ACTIVATING LIFE DYNAM

The blade began to pulse with white and green as I descended. Red lights were flashing below, but in the vacuum, there were no sounds. Below, copies of Mikota were firing at something, and it wasn't until a got completely through the tear in the ship.

Like the Dreadnought, these monsters looked like skeleton warriors with metallic bones surrounding glowing green cores.

//DIAMOND PLATING ACTIVATED

The hexagons covering my body suddenly began to fill with a clear liquid and then hardened into points. The must be my shielding. These things just activating alone are quite helpful! I started to run the rest of the way to the ground, no thinking, just do.

The suit gave me the mobility I couldn't have dreamed possible, changing my direction even if I ran from the wall to the roof and back. The landscape tilted under my feet like it was painted on a cylinder and rotated at my will. I didn't even need the armor. My mobility alone made me unstoppable as my charged Naginata carved the light out of the Skeletons.

I heard someone yell to me through the speakers to watch out, but they were too late. I was sent smashing into a corner and bounced off. Something heavy had just hammered me stupid.

My mind and body were a mess, but I tried to pull myself back up. I could feel something come through the tremors on the floor. Where was the Naginata I just had in my hand?

"Dave! ROLL LEFT!"

That was Tama's voice, so I instantly rolled left and narrowly escaped getting pulverized by whatever got me the first time.

//BODY IN CRITICAL CONDITION. ACTIVATING HOTSHOT REGEN

Searing heat burned through my veins, making my vision white for a second, then I was on my feet, dancing back from another swing. I could finally see the skeletal ape thing with glowing eyes and core. The massive hammer the thing carried also glowed that sickly green color to match the rest.

Suddenly a black and green streak was behind him, and then braided cords latched onto the exposed core. The ape tried to react, but Tama's dual hand scythes pulsing white and green cut through the arm bones like cake. Soon the lights went out, and Tama's green lines let off arcs of energy.

"Thanks, I owe you!"

"Yeah, you do, but I'll come collecting another day," Somehow, Tama's face glass became transparent, and she winked at me suggestively.

"There is still on more ahead, but we need to be careful. The thing up ahead in the next room isn't a robot given life. The thing in there is a Necoria, they true Unlife, they are grown from dead planet cores, and they need negative energy to grow. After a planet dies, negative energy is released, and then they spawn all sorts of Unlife beings. I can't go into detail right now. Just know it won't die so easily."

I looked at Tama after Mikota's explanation, and she just shrugged her shoulders.
