Chapter 23 : GEAR UP
"We finally made it to Dorrex!" Krycella said throwing her arms in the air.
Dorrex was a city that focused on combat.
They had a battle tower and a battle arena.
There's exactly 67 weapon & armor shops within it.
People from around the world would come to Dorrex to battle and gear up on weapons.
"We need to get ourselves armor for the fight that could end our lives if we fool around. Kasstia and Maurice are going to need strong guns. Maurice will get a heavy-duty machine gun. Kasstia will get a couple of strong pistols." Zoar said.
"Got it!" Everyone said in sync.
It made Zoar feel weird.
"Guess you're the leader of this group, huh?" Maurice said.
"Yeah. Let's say that." Zoar said.
•••
It took them a while, but they finally got through the traffic and made it to 'The Dorrex Combat Magnum Opus'.
"This place better live up to its damn title!" Maurice said as they got out of the car.
The place was huge.
It was shaped like a colosseum and was made of aluminum.
They walked in.
"Holy shit!" Maurice said aloud.
It looked amazing inside.
Guns, swords, melee weapons, staffs, knives, anything, and everything appeared to be here.
"There's so much!" Krycella said.
"How is this city not in chaos!?" Kasstia said, looking around.
"They have high-class police here, one of the few places left in Zeu that have law enforcement agencies," Zoar said.
Zoar was amazed by the place too but didn't show it.
"Yeah, yeah! Where the Hell do we start in this place!?" Maurice said.
"We go to the section that has guns. You and Kasstia are the only ones that need-" Zoar was cut off by Krycella.
"Actually... I have an idea... Just follow me." Krycella said.
•••
"Chains?" Zoar said.
"Yeah! I can send my ELECTRICITY through them and use them for long-range attacks!" Krycella said.
Krycella took them to a section of the store that sold whips. There were a wide variety of whips and some sounded very unrealistic.
"That sounds pretty damn cool!" Maurice said.
"Guess I'll buy them." Zoar walked up to the counter and bought them.
They cost 600 Satu.
The clerk put them in a black bag.
"Here." The clerk said.
Zoar grabbed the bag and handed it to Krycella.
"Thanks, brother," Krycella said.
"You're welcome..." Zoar sometimes forgot he was her brother.
"Let's go to the guns then, now!" Maurice said.
•••
"Holy Hell..." Zoar said.
The number of guns and gun types was astounding.
Submachine guns, light machine guns, assault rifles, shotguns, pistols, laser rifles, laser machine guns, and snipers were all the classes listed.
"Look at these two beauties!" Kasstia was looking at a pair of pistols behind some glass.
"Those look nice!" Krycella said.
"May I help you all?" A voice from behind the counter said.
They looked at him.
The clerk looked to be in his mid-thirties. He had black hair, black clothes, black boots, black eyes, black earrings, and a black choker on.
His name tag said 'Renzorous Bullard'.
"Yes we would like these-" Kasstia was cut off by Renzorous.
"The two 2011's with increased fire rate, accuracy, and firepower with a bigger magazine and a 3 round burst option, correct?" He said.
He looked depressed and like he never intended on improving himself.
"Right..." Kasstia said awkwardly.
"I knew I was right, that'll be 5000 Satu..." He said with his hand out.
This guy was a dick, so Zoar would be a dick right back to him.
"Here." Zoar slapped the money in his hand, letting the coins fall to the ground that missed his hand.
Renzorous gave Zoar a cold look.
Renzorous picked the coins up. He then got Kasstia her guns and put them in a braid case.
"Is that all?" Renzorous asked.
"No," Zoar said.
"Take your time," Renzorous said and handed Kasstia the case.
"Now what do I want..." Maurice said, scratching what he called a beard.
Maurice's eyes were caught by an LMG that had an orange and blue paint job.
"This thing looks badass!" Maurice pointed at the shelf it was on.
"Ah yes, the 'Rhino 3'... this one has a custom paint job and a force grip to keep it steady when shooting..." Renzorous said.
"I'll get it!" Maurice said.
"That'll be 10,000 Satu..." Renzorous said.
"Damn!" Maurice said.
Zoar was glad he never told Maurice about his bank account or else Zoar would've wasted his own money on that first car.
"Here." Zoar made sure he got the dirty paper money and rusty coins.
Renzorous was angry.
"Thanks..." he said and put the money away.
He grabbed the Rhino 3 and put it in a briefcase, then handed it to Maurice.
"Now is that all?" Renzorous said with a cold look directed at Zoar.
"Yep," Zoar said and turned around.
They left the building and went back to the car.
"That guy was a bitch!" Maurice said.
"Right," Zoar said.
"Well, where to next?" Kasstia asked.
"Food!" Krycella and Maurice yelled.
"We can stop at a drive-through place first, then we head to the train station. It's 12:06 PM and the train to Griffnine leaves at 2:00 PM and we won't get there till about 7:30 PM." Zoar said.
"How the Hell do you know all of this?" Maurice asked as he backed out of the parking lot.
"I had to go to Griffnine last year at my job. I just remember the hours." Zoar said, looking out the window.
"Almost there..." Kasstia said and leaned onto him and held his hand.
Zoar held her hand back.
"Almost there..." he said back to her.
