FIRST OPPONENT
[89km remaining]
nathan: "hey clare check this out jame made me a new phone from nothing"
me: "yeah, what's so special about it? does it have any new features?"
nathan: "idk but let's check it out"
nathan started up his new phone and holy heck it was scanning his face with a red lazer, then unlocked.
nathan: "hohohohohoooo! nuts!" (excited)
me: "jame you ok with driving?"
jame claws holding the wheels while leaning back. jame: "yeah it's easy"
Lilly and kirie are playing a card game together, heh Lilly having trouble playing even tho she is an AI lol. I saw kirie make a little smile when won but then stopped after that. maybe she does feels joy when winning or maybe she trying to do so. for me I'm having a slight problem with my school, they keep asking me why I'm not going to school, and the same with nathan, I keep receiving these messages, eh I'm on a mission right now sooo... f**k off school. we're going to the southern region, still far away.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
?: "you're all useless, dammit. *sigh* fine send it in"
?#2: "calling VC-01-G, Grim you are free to attack, all the citizens have left the area of possible effects"
[VC-01-G: let's make this quick / approaching DC-404-J]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
me: "hmm, I still wonder why the highway is so empty"
nathan: "the highway sometimes has no people driving, or maybe they're less people who need to travel far, unlike us lol"
me: "yeah but, it soo empty"
Lilly: "ahh I lost again, how the heck can you beat an AI like me in a card game?"
kirielane: "battle plan. don't forget that I'm not a human-like clare and nathan"
we were just fine when suddenly the top of the car blew up and things started to get tense again.
jame: "woah woah!"
me: "what the?"
a core is flying and approaching us, but there's only one? jame told me to hold the wheel and he stood up go to the back of the seat and shoot at the core with his weapon arm. the flying core returned fires and shot at us, kirie and nathan helping jame as Lilly tries to keep them safe with an energy shield from the cube jame made.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VC-01-G: "targets is closing in. engaging 1 on 1"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the core rush toward the car then it uses its blade claws to pin into jame body then it brings him up into the sky, kirie tried to hold him back but she can't. "JAME!"-i screamed, we watched him being dragged to the sky, I hit the gas and chased after jame and that core before it sent him through the clouds and I couldn't see him anymore.
-------------------------------------[jame]------------------------------------
jame: "get off me you.. AGH"
pushed that core away, saw myself falling down [deploying blade wing], blade wing help me fly and I saw that core charging at me.
jame: "bad mistake haha!" [railgun ready]
I fire my railgun at the core and it dodged the shot and fired missiles at me. *boom* gawd damn I never see this kind of core before.
the core stopped and we both look at each other. I see it have a human form like me, he has black hair, dark grey neon eyes, a white hoodie, grey jean, and a badge on the hoodie.
jame: "huh new type of core? what's your name?"
grim: "VC-01-G, grim, vector core, and I'm here to turn you into dust"
jame: "hahaha! you can try grim. hmm, i see you have a human form like me, well experiment with a weapon similar to me huh?"
grim: "I was made to stop you, and no I am not like you deathcore. I'm sorry but you must die" {acceleration: online}
jame: "well then, I'm sorry as well, you will become nothing but scrap" [matter disturb: online]
we both rush at each other, I use the surrounding environment to create blades attacking grim, trying to slice him apart. he dodged all my attacks and moved very quickly, he was behind me, stabbed me with those claws, then kick me away, I tried to throw a blade at him, but he grab it, throw and hit me in the right arm, then he uses his high power charge gun and headshot me. I was stunned for a moment before getting myself back.
jame: "huh, this is unbelieve able. they made a type of core that can counter me? fine time for real stuff". I pulled out the blade in my arm and then turned my left arm into a tracking XMO-900 (minigun but on crack). I fired my weapon, the bullets tracking him when he dodged it, I managed to hit him, then I rush at him with the blade. he use his back gun to fire missiles at me, then he fired his high-power guns. I use my wing to block the bullets and then use the blade to cut the missiles in half. I use the blade and slice him, he got hit and backed away, I haven't done yet, I turned my left arm again into a hook blaster, I fired and it hit, I pulled him close then throw my blade at him before turning my right arm into ULT-shotgun, I bring him close then fired my gun, it pierced through him.
jame: "hahaha pray to your new GOD!!"
{speed up} grim suddenly escape out of my hook, then moved soo fast I can't even catch up. he moving around me, I can feel it, he strikes me with multiple attacks with his sharp wing and gun shoot. I can't block them all, all the gun shots pierced through my arms, body, and legs, the strike from it slicing me before he apeared infront of me. he raised his claw hands and sliced off my left leg, then his wings swing at me with a powerful force then sliced my body in half from the top to bottom.
grim: "die jame" {railgun ready}, he fired the railgun and it hit directly my core.
[GOD-MIND: D-blood going in..... get yourself back // solver system online ]
jame: "hahahahahaha!!!!!! not enough to kill me scrap, time to turn the table!!"
grim: "what the hel-"
I put myself back together, and regenerated my body back. I summon my 2 big claws to grab him, then stab him with my sword and push him, we both dive down at high speed.
grim: "AAAGH WHY WON'T YOU JUST DIE ALREADY"
grim tried to get out of this situation, and he used the gun on his back to fire at me, bullets hits my head, but it doesn't stop me from killing him painfully. we were falling down, I can see the ground, grim used an emp grenade and it exploded right on my claws, he then kicked me successfully to escape, but it is too late, we hit the ground with strong forces. i stand up and saw myself on the highway where I and my friends were going. grim shot at me multiple times before charging at me and using his claw to punch me in the face, he can't seems to regenerate his body like me, heh what a shame.
grim: *huff huff* "let's finish this you... you! AAAAAH"
jame: "COME AT ME HAHAHA"
we both rush at each other, trading hits to hits, he just shoots and strikes me, and i use my matter power to create more and more blades striking him and using my claws to slice him. it's time to end this, I used my claws to pin him down and created a super powerful blaster, the blaster levitating and aiming at his head.
jame: "goodbye grim"
when I was about to finish him, a rocket hit my back and the blaster missed. grim pushed me away and he stand up, more mercenaries appeared, they saved grim and he flew away. I looked at him with annoyance though. mercenaries attacking me and I killed them all with ease, I consume their blood for my core, and they died with a painful scream, the sounds make me satisfied. Suddenly the mercenaries stopped attacking and they retreated away. I stand there and look, with no words to say, then I sat down on the road and rested, waiting and thinking about that core named grim.
--------------------------------( clare deammer )----------------------------------
I saw an explosion nearby, and I drive to that location hoping to find jame again. once there I saw jame sitting on the side of the road, he then saw us and hop in the car and we went on again.
me: "jame you okay?"
jame: "yeah just a few stab wounds"
me: "we thought you were dead"
jame: "heh not enough to kill me, but, grim compared to me I see him almost powerful like me"
kirielane: "grim? who is that"
jame: "that core who bring me up to the sky and we tried to murder each other"
nathan: "damn bruh, glad you got out alive
jame: "thanks. let me fix the car"
jame use his power and fixed the car, then we head off the highway (120km remaining)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
grim: "dammit I can't kill him, he uses D-blood"
?: "1 don't fail me now, get better and take 404 down"
grim: "yes director"
?: "find their location"
?-2: "yes sir"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
we're off the elevated highway and onto the main road to the south. while going we were again attacked by attacker core, this time they used magnetic cars to fly close to us at high speed. they attacked with electric bullet machine guns, of course, I didn't hesitate out of fear and stepped on the gas to accelerate up, we started a high-speed chase on the road with civilians on the side, the others in the car were trying to keep the car safe while shooting those core with weapons they have. the chase was very fast, while I was trying to follow the way jame told me to go, some turns were difficult to steer the wheel, jame used his big claws to make the car turn in the direction while holding the speed of the vehicle. a lot of bullets flew out of the barrel on both sides, and quite a few innocent people were caught in the gun blazing and probably couldn't survive, the scene was sad for them, but we had to try to save our lives first.
after some spectacular chases on the road, Jame and the others successfully destroyed a few cars, and now only one remains and it still chasing us. kirie jumped out of the car and dive straight into their driving seat, she tore them apart and blew up the car before going back to her seat with a very normal-looking face, we're probably used to this face.
I slowed down the car after everything started to settle down, I looked back to check and saw Nathan had them shot in the shoulder, he was groaning in pain, Lilly was next to him and was using her ability to heal nathan, jame, and kirie were also got shot but they weren't human like me and nathan. after Lilly treated nathan, she let nathan lie down on the seat to rest and climbed up to the seat next to me.
me: "you okay boy?"
nathan: "no sh*t, that hurt's like hell"
Lilly: "you gonna be fine, luckily the bullet went straight through your shoulder otherwise I had to pull it out using my tools"
nathan: "darn... tell me when we gonna arrive to the next memo core of jame"
me: "jame?"
jame: "about 73km more, we gonna arrive there in about 1 or 2 hours"
me: "good, cuz it's about to get dark soon"
kirie: "you'll want to stop somewhere to refuel and recharge? I don't think this car had enough energy and durability to carry us to our final destination"
I looked at each other and then totally agreed with her: "yes!" we spoke up together with kirie's suggestion. *BOOM* a missile exploded a few meters away from the vehicle, we know it wasn't over yet and the attacker cores flew in to kill us again. many innocent people ran away and I stepped on the gas and drove away.
me: "many later I guess. hmm kinda frightened how I getting used to this"
nathan: "hmm, yeah gotta say I had to agree with you, this is kinda normal for some reason, i mean I just shot lol"
me: "heh we're weird aren't we?"
nathan: "hell yeah"
(gun blazing behind) Lilly: "AHHH clare they are shooting at us"
me: "jame!"
jame: "I and kirie heard that!" [XLG-76: firing]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
kirie looked at me and nathan with a considering look, then she talk with him through his thoughts.
kirielane: [jame... are you sure they... don't get that of yours]
jame looks quite shocked when heard that: [i..... don't know. i know they're human but I also think they'll be fine, even though clare has never been in direct contact with the D-blood, nor nathan, so I think they'll be fine] /// [file#0000A checking]
kirielane: [you sure?]
jame slightly nod his head, kirie looked at him with her lifeless eyes but knowing that me and nathan maybe...
