《There Is A Monster Among Us》Chapter 20: Splash
Advertisement
Orange is targeting Captain Greene!
With a shout, I manage to point the maid to the captain's attention.
At that moment, I hear Orange click her tongue before running towards the naval officer, who is fumbling at his belt for the cutlass.
I shall assist the captain!
But first, I need to distract Yellow lest he jumps on me from behind. I have enough of backstabbings for tonight!
After scouring through my belt, I toss three vials of explosive liquid in front of Yellow, inciting him to step back. The explosion was small but loud. I am also slightly stunned since this is my first time using it. Yes, it is another new product issued to us for field testing. I have to say it blinded me a bit, even with my eyes closed in anticipation.
Those vials are more of a distraction rather than a serious weapon. I seriously doubt Yellow has not been rattled by that, though.
Seeing Yellow shaking his head means that it worked. I turn around and run for the captain. It is a relief that Greene is still alive for those few seconds, now armed with his cutlass. Despite the bloody arm he has.
"Captain!" I slash at Orange's open back, but she dodges it by stepping forward.
Oh, yeah, she's doomed. Captain Greene stabs Orange in the chest at the moment she evaded my sword. I can see the tip of the cutlass from behind. Greene pulls out the sword and cuts her in the throat this time. Yikes.
Orange grasps her neck and tries to steady herself at the edge of the ship. With one hand, she produces a vial from her maid uniform's pocket and drinks it.
She's a fighter even in the final moments. I can tell her that, at least.

Unfortunately for her, a huge wave out of nowhere sways the ship hard and causes Orange to fall over, her eyes widely staring at us before she disappears down below with a soft splash.
"Good going, Captain!"
"What the heck is happening here?!"
Yeah, I'm not sure, either. Although, I am sure that this is not the time to chat. Thankfully, the ordeal has finally sobered up the captain. Or is it his gashing wound on the arm?
Looking around me, Red is ignorant of what happened as he is still being pushed back by Pink while Orange is livid at the sight of his maid dying.
"Monsters!"
Wow, now everyone here is a monster.
With a scream, Yellow runs toward the captain, his eyes bloodshot.

Chaos Wave
The year is 2055. Virtual Reality has been around for nearly forty years, and the Full Sensation Dive System has been around for about thirty. The various countries of Earth have long since given up on Warring against each other in this dimension when it turned out that with the FSDS (Full Sensation Dive System) virtual worlds became real, especially once Richard Alonzo Albeque's AIQNPC (Artificial Intelligence Quest and Non-Player Character) System was released and spread like a wild virus across all the active MMOs. People vanished from their Dive system, leaving nothing behind of the person they were, and the Characters they were in game become locked out, and no longer responsive to the System. In addition to this, they are suddenly showing up on ALL servers of a game at the same time, almost as if they were now an NPC. The governments put a stop to all distribution of FSDS Technology, and keep an eye on these 'Digitized Players'. Ten years pass and one of the first ever Digitized Players, a Level 500 Catgirl by the name of Atreya the Dawnbirth, created a stable portal between their MMO and Earth. With the return of one of the players, the governments remove the bans on FSDS Technology, which has still been researched heavily while under the ban. Wars break out over control of Virtual Worlds, but these wars are all fought ON the Virtual World, so the Earth isn't polluted further. Immortality is now available to all who seek it, if you can find a World to call your own. Of course, nobody paid attention to one of the few warnings Atreya brought back with her... The NPCs sometimes became sentient and disobeyed coding laws.
