《Amongst the Stars》Chapter 13

Advertisement

Walking along the street Leviathan looks at the civilians as they enter stores, talk to their families, and living their lives. He looks at the soldiers patrolling, talking to each other, and aiding people. If one didn't know it was a game, they would never assume it was.

Walking past a building he catches something that perks his interest.

His highness said he discovered his brother doing something...but we've been looking in this forest for weeks!

Pausing for a moment he looks at the building. Seeing that it's some kind of bar he decides to move on.

Looking at the hover cars pass by, he suddenly has an idea. He thought that after riding in the humvee all cars still had wheels. Thinking about how to get a car later he speeds up his pace, and before long he arrives in front of the Mero building. Walking inside he sees a young lady standing behind a desk. Besides the lady at the desk the only thing in the room are couches lining the left wall and chairs on the right, behind the counter is an elevator.

Uh, disgusting, look at his clothes.

Walking towards the desk he places his metallic hand on the desk and begins tapping. Hearing the rhythmic sounds the girl furrows her brows.

Is he some high level cyborg? Why did he come to this planet?

Opening his eyes a bit wider a smile forms on Leviathan’s face is the Mero company not based on this planet? giving more time for the girls thoughts to wonder Leviathan continues to wait.

What does he want, is he not going to say anything? By the looks of it he may not be from this planet. But why would someone from a level two or three planet come to this small world? The girl looks him up and down does he expect me to say the first word?

Slapping his hand down on the table he startles the girl, his voice booms from behind the mask “I need a few things, I came to this planet with some friends. But there was an accident and I was left for dead.” Leviathan gestures to his body “We both know Mero company isn't what it seems, and I need some special goods and services.”

I wonder where he's from “Sir, We of course have what you need...but you know selling higher level tech on an undeveloped planet goes against the laws set by the Holy Empire.”

Spreading his hands slightly “Is there nothing you can do, you're my last hope"

“I...I can't" unless it was by order or the Holy Empire shaking her head she looks pitifully at Leviathan “Is there something else I can help you with?”

*Sigh* “Can you help me off planet?”

“Let me see" the girl begins to type furiously on the computer screen “Let me see….yes, it looks like there will be a private shuttle sent to the space station in two weeks.”

Raising an eyebrow under his mask space station? “Ok, can I get some low tech armor then?”

The girl once again begins typing on the computer, after a while she looks up with a smile. “Is you head into the elevator behind me, you are authorized to go to the 25th floor, there you can get armor.”

Waiving his hand at the girl, he walks towards the elevator “Thanks.” it’s nice talking to a girl without her feeling pity for you, can you date NPCs….hmm.

After walking into the elevator the door closes. Slightly opening his mouth he begins to whisper “B8 if there's any cameras in the elevator disable them.”

Tiny spec fall off Leviathan’s body and begin moving along the wall. After a few seconds a whisper is transmitted into his ear “Master, there were four cameras, and I have disabled them all.”

“Ok good! I want to know where they keep the advanced tech!”

“Master, this is the first time I get to use my skills after upgrading, look forward to my abilities.” more silver flakes break off from his body, moving along the elevator walls the bots enter the cameras. Tracing the signal from the cameras back to the computer B8 gains access. B8 back on the ship stops its task momentarily, using the processing power of over 45 million bots, it attacks the system.

B8’s hacking and computing rapidly rose as it broke through firewalls and penetrated back doors. Computers in the entire office flickered as B8 passes through the system, but in the next few seconds his skills evolve into the advanced level, allowing it to trample unimpeded. In a few minutes he gains access to the whole system.

“Master, I have access”

“Good! Tell me about Mero company”

“Master, the Holy Empire is the only level three planet in this part of the galaxy. They use their power to oppress the level two planets and prevent the help of development of level one planets. The Mero company is one of the four companies the Holy Empire uses to secure its section of space. They place a branch in every city, on every planet to maintain control.”

“Oh, that's interesting, where do they keep the advanced weapons, armor, and is there a ship?”

“Master, there's some tech level two laser pistols, like the one from earlier. There isn't much here because this is only a branch store, the main store in the Capitol will have much more.”

“B8 I want you to go break down those laser pistols to make more bots, also grab the crystals for your abysnic bots.” as his voice fades all the bots covering his back break off, crawling through the elevator, and disappearing.

“B8 send me to the 25th floor, and how many bots did you send.”

A few seconds later the elevator begins to move. “Master, responding to you will be slow as I move the bots who broke off. Of the 12 million bots with you, 2 million have left"

“Got it" the elevator finally starts ascending, reaching the 25th floor the door opens. In front of him stands a scar faced man with long black dreads, dressed in green camo pants, a green shirt with a bulletproof vest, a personal comm on his wrist, and pistol on his waist.

“FUCK MAN WERE YOU THE ONE HOLDING UP THE ELEVATOR!” If I wasn't in this building right now I'd kill this fucker!

Leviathan looks the man up and down

The man seeing Leviathan not move reaches for his gun. fuck it, I'll kill this bastard.

Hearing the man's thoughts Leviathan reaches for his arm. Seeing that he won't make it before the man grabs the gun, he increases the gravity of the gun by ten times. Not expecting the extra weight the man's shoulder buckles for a moment as he grabs it.

“What?!?” why?

The moment of hesitation gives him time to grab the man's arm. Squeezing as hard as he can, his claws rip into the man's forearm.

“AHhhhh!”

Dropping the gun the man tries to jerk his arm back, after three jerks Leviathan finally releases him.

Four other people in the room turn to look at them, three men and a woman. The lady was obviously the receptionist, she had shoulder length, fiery red hair, a stunning strapless black dress that stopped just above her knees, and a pair of red heels that matched her hair. The men were actually triplets, their backs hund rifles and waist donned pistols, wearing black combat boots, khaki pants, and black shirts. Across their chest hung bandoliers, equipped with a 12in bowie knife.

Oh god not again…

A threat?

A threat?

A threat?

Seeing that he's gotten unwanted attention Leviathan wipes his figures on the man's shirt as he walks by. The man, to busy holding his arm to stop the bleeding doesn't stop him, instead he lets him pass so he can enter the elevator.

Before the elevator closes the man stares daggers at Leviathan’s back “Don't let me find you on the streets! I'll fucking kill you!” oh god, please close faster, this guy is crazy!

Not paying the threat and mind Leviathan finally takes the chance to look around the room. A glass countertop cut the room in half, on the countertop were holograms of the standard merchandise they mass produce. Behind the counter in glass displays are one of a kind armors made from rare animal hides and metals.

In front of the counter the triplets continue their talk to the receptionist, acting as if the previous incident was a common occurrence.

“We need better armor if we are going to fight the arahaknar!”

“What we have now wont even protect from one bite!”

“And if we get the fags we will sell to you!”

“so all we ask is a discount!”

“so all we ask is a discount!”

“so all we ask is a discount!”

The lady looks at the three men while rubbing her forehead, a paind look plastered on her face ahhh so troublesome! “Look here chen brothers, I like you, I really do. But last time you said the same thing about hunting the kekukan, and before that the yosumold! Both times you failed and the armor was beyond repair, so we couldn't even take it back!”

“This time will be different!”

“This time will be different!”

“This time will be different!”

Listening for a while Leviathan decides that is rubbish and decides to ignore it. Walking towards the counter he begins to look at the holograms. The first option is a full body suit with various pricing depending on the hardness of the leather. Picking out one with the best hardness at the cheapest price, he clicks it, adding it to a shopping list as customers five. Moving to the next hologram he notices its for boots, after browsing for a few minutes he clicks a pair made from the same material as the body suit, a synthetic material called Trimnium.

As he moves towards the next hologram the redheaded women stands in front of him, looking around he notices it's only the two of them in the room. Being in closer proximity he gets a better look at her and notices she's only as tall as his chest. Light freckles cover her cheeks, trying to hide her cute dimples. Her button nose and almond shaped eyes contradict each other, as if saying I'm adorable but fierce. Cherry color lips, just asking to be plucked, bend into a crescent as she stares at Leviathan.

“Can I help you, sir" a sultry voice escapes from her lips.

Leviathan takes a moment to stare at her some more before finally opening his mouth. “I'm looking for new gear, mine is damaged, as you can see"

Looking leviathan up and down for a moment she holds her hand up, covers her mouth, and chuckles.

“If pajamas and a bathrobe count as gear, what do we sell here?” is this guy foreal? He looks like a full body cyborg...is his brain fried?

*Caugh* “What I meant was my gear was destroyed, and this was all I have left" turning his head slightly he tries to avoid looking at her out of shame.

“Well then, dear customer. How may I~, be of assistance to you?”

“Well" untying the sacks on his waist, he drops them on the counter. “I have already picked a few things, and was just about to continue before you walked over"

As he finishes his sentence B8 whispers into his ear “Master, I have finally made my way to the laser pistols, there are a total of ten pistols, more than enough to complete my abysnic bots. From the components of the pistols I can make a thousand droids, a negligible number so I will only harvest the crystals and meet you In the lift in 20 minutes”

“Actually miss…”

“Bianca"

“Miss Bianca, can you help me look around?”

A smile forms on her face “It's only polite to give your name as well”

Thinking a moment before opening his mouth “My name is Levi"

“Ok then, Levi" turning around she begins to saunter behind the counter, empathizing her curves. “A man of your...caliber needs special equipment” turning her head around she winks “You're special, I can tell" arriving before a metal cabinet, she opens it, revealing a long black robe.

Turning to face Leviathan again she places her finger on her bottom lip “Isn't this more your" looking him up and down “Style?”

“I thought you didn't sell pajamas here?”

“It's just a small joke, this is the coat I wore in today" after closing the cabinet she moves towards the bags on the counter “How much money did you bring?”

“A little over 140 gold, what can that get me?”

After hearing his answer the light fades from her eyes “You can use the holograms to pick what you want, if you have any questions or you complete you selection come find me" turning, she walks away.

Am I that poor?!?!
