11 – What They Promised

Instead of hitting the monster, the human torso-sized drone crashed into the ceiling and caused a loud bang. Ruins immediately fell down on the monster, and it released its tentacles from those women.

They fell on the floor and struggled to their feet.

"Let's go, Ciara!" Despite saying that, Bonnie took aim with trembling hands. "We destroy this sh*tty monster!"

That creature started attacking again, but this time Ciara was more prepared. She jumped with her boost device, cutting the tentacles aimed at her body. Meanwhile, Bonnie provides support with her machine gun fire. Occasionally Ciara slashed the tentacles that came at the armored girl.

"Taste this!" Bonnie sounded even more excited because her bullets managed to penetrate the monster's skin. "This is the result because you tried to touch my pussy!"

I connected myself with another drone to blow it up and then flew it, this time to the monster's body.

The resulting explosion staggered and injured the monster, but it still attacked.

"Ciara, make the wound even wider!" I shouted while bypassing the third drone, twice the size of the previous drones. We must make a significant impact before Ciara and Bonnie run out of stamina.

Ciara cut a part of the monster's blast wound, making it bigger.

However, the drone I just worked on wouldn't fly, even though I could feel I had it under control. Maybe the propeller at the bottom of this thing is stuck, or something else is causing it to be like that.

This is bad. I could see that the monster's tentacles were starting to grow again. Its wound is also closing. The only way to defeat it is to completely destroy it.

"Bonnie, come here!" I shouted again. There's no time to look for another drone. "I can't move this drone! Take this and put it in that monster's wound! I already set it to explode seconds later!"

The armored girl ran to me, with Ciara protecting her from the tentacles' attacks.

As soon as I unplugged my data cable, Bonnie picked up the drone and ran back to the monster.

"Hey, stupid monster!!!" She cursed with all her might. "You like to eat drones, right!!!"

That girl then jumped and stabbed the drone into the monster's wound. Ciara helped with a jump kick on the thing, forcing it to go deeper.

"Run!!!" I gave the order while turning around. Something terrible will happen, and we have to avoid it.

Ciara did a series of blitzes while Bonnie ran as hard as she could. Seconds later, a bright white light appeared behind us, followed by a thunderous explosion. We were thrown forward due to the impact.

As soon as we landed, our bodies were showered with a sticky green liquid which was the monster's 'blood.' Not only that, several chunks of that creature also fell on us.

"Holy macaroni with cheese," Bonnie mumbled on the floor. "We defeated the tentacle monster. It was so amazing."

Ciara tried to get up with her skin full of shiny liquid. She was the one who suffered the most because she had to feel the disgusting thing in her own skin, while my body was made of metal and Bonnie was in full armor.

"I bet her wedgie is getting more and more uncomfortable." Bonnie blurted.

Seemingly unaffected by that, the super soldier knelt in front of me. "Are you all right, my master?"

"I'm okay." I stared at the gooey liquid that had entered her cleavages. "I should be the one asking you. Are you all right, Ciara?"

As usual, she wore a sweet smile. "This is completely fine with me."

"Ah…." My attention was drawn to a silver cone-shaped object and a long lamp behind Ciara. Those are the drill and sun lamp. "We've found what we were looking for."

***

The following day, Ciara and Bonnie stood in front of the colony building, and I hid in the distance this time.

"As you can see, we brought what you guys requested." Bonnie held up the EA-68 battery with her armor still coated in goo. "We want to take the crop seeds and fertilizers you promised."

Ciara also experienced the same fate as the armored girl. The super soldier's hair was still limp from that disgusting thing. There was no water to bathe in, so they couldn't do anything.

"Damn, you guys really did it…. Don't tell me you guys defeated that monster?" The building guard shook his head. "I didn't expect this."

Both Bonnie and Ciara shrugged simultaneously.

"Wait a moment." the guard said. "There will be someone to deliver your request."

A few minutes later, a thin, brunette-haired young woman came out of the gate of the building carrying a large brown cardboard box. She immediately spoke without giving a greeting at all. "Can I check the things you guys brought?"

Bonnie and Ciara exchanged glances.

I gave the order, "Just give it. I've checked the battery, and it works fine. Chances are they won't attack you to take the battery. We've proven we're good allies, after all."

Bonnie placed the battery before the brunette woman, who crouched down and pressed a screwdriver-shaped tool into it. She then nodded to the guard, then put the box she had brought in front of my two colleagues.

Ciara opened the box and was silent for a moment. "This…."

Through Bonnie's visor, I could see the contents of the box. Apart from two paper bags filled with seeds and a sack of fertilizer, there was an item that looked like a soap bar.

"It is a waterless cleanser. It can be used for human skin or objects." The guard explained. "Our leader feels sorry for you guys. But unfortunately, we cannot accept you. Our resources are limited."

"Thank you very much." Ciara closed the box again, then conveyed my words, "Can you guys lend us one of your mechanics to install the drill to our E.E.S. We need an expert because it's not compatible with E.E.S...."

"Didn't you all get what you wanted plus a bonus?" The brunette woman crossed her arms. "We don't need anything more from you guys, so you can't ask us anymore."

I already guessed. It won't be easy.

"In that case…." Ciara smiled broadly, still conveying my words. "Do you know where the robot hoarder is?"

This time it was the guard and the brunette woman who exchanged glances.
