《The Worst》Chapter 27 - The waves

Advertisement

Chris woke up early and entered Destos he had lots of things to salvage from the ship.

At the same time somewhere in space a hundreds of Players were being drafted to hunt the mutant, they were a mix of light,medium and heavy troopers.

The Npc said that the Mutant is too strong for the regular 10man squad.

Darknym was gathering devices and weapons from the ground when large beams begun bombarding the Destroyed cruiser. After the first shake he was already out of the crush site and in his laboratory. Only the buglings remained in the ship but with the shaking they all flooded after him, He was now too preoccupied assimilating all the buglings that had filled the main floor of the lab to the ceiling.

There were 1000 players inside the landing crafts that descended after the crush side became a barren wasteland.

The first group that reached the whole were surprised to see bugling corpses covering the hole.

"Bring the desynthesizers"

Said the Npc commander and the players went back to the craft to bring the small corpse disposing devices.

One by one they destroyed the corpses until a message popped up.

-A player has reached 6000 level-

The players had become a bit panicked at the announcement since they now knew that the high level player was the mutant they were after.

They saw the buglings shrink from the entrance downwards every passing minute. Half an hour later another message popped up

-A player has reached 7000 level-

They were shocked once more the Npc said that it was okay to enter but non of them wanted to, they all knew that the ones who entered first would be the first ones to die.

A group of four Heavy troopers offered to go first under the agreements that the others will follow close behind them.

Their leader an Npc woman named Gabriella threw a grenade and entered fearlessly, her heavy troopers the Valkyries following right behind her.

After them came the Emperors another group of heavy troopers and behind them the Exterminators and the Destroyers heavy troopers, only two groups of heavy troopers remained outside awaiting to hear words of the enemy's strength or the mission's success.

Gabriella and her squad of three female players had just activated the night vision of their heavy battle suits, they had a heavy defense from physical damage making them Invincible to the Buglings that swarmed them.

The level 500 heavy troopers just smashed them under their boots. The same did the next squads who wore the same set of Armor.

Darknym was waiting above on the stairs of the second floor for them to enter the main room, his head was turned into that of a buggling queen, he was about to call the bugglings when he saw that one of them had no name tag. He could not hear their names but he could tell from their armor that was a bit different than the standard male armor that they were females.

He jumped down on their commander and called

"Help"

The Buglings swarmed the area as he dragged their leader to where the library used to be by the leg. She was kicking and shooting at him but her heavy blaster didn't do even 1% of damage to him now, right now he could withstand three shots from the "Starblazer", such weapons were not even worth his attention.

He begun using his electrical touch on the armor of the heavy trooper, one point at a time, it now only took him 0.01% of his Integrity to use it since he had mastered it long ago. Gabriella was now immobilized in her power suit as error messages popped out one after the other. She didn't understand what was happening but the mutant was probably trying to get her out of her armor to kill her, that was what her guts were telling her.

Pffff!

The armor opened and Darknym saw inside a beautiful half naked woman, the library was free of Bugglings as they were all fighting outside so he simply left.

Darknym to her surprise just left her there as he went outside. He walked through the swarm of bugling and reached the three hills in their midst, with a small zap he opened the players' suits, leaving them to the buglings to kill. His head had already turned to normal, He got rid of the Players and dragged the Npcs to the same room the woman was now hiding in despair. He didn't deactivate their suits but they were still afraid of him.

The next group had already jumped in and In the end he had Imprisoned 10 Npc heavy troopers. The rest died after fighting waves of buglings and buglings to come.

A force of 1000 was reduced to 200players and Npcs who run back to their carriers in full retreat.

Darknym entered the Library where he saw the 10 heavy troopers and the heavily breathing woman. Hearing them talking amongst themselves.

"She needs a Doctor, the radiation is quickly killing her"

"Why did you retreat, there are people trapped down here"

"What do you mean the mission is a failure!"

He saw the troopers kneeling in despair. His head had now returned to normal and the buglings were swarming him. It was now faster for him to kill them(buglings) due to his new ability, the Astral blade, he could create a sword-like blade and moving it around himself doing mediocre damage but it made it faster as he assimilated the buglings at the same time.

After wards he entered the Library and said.

"Follow me"

The Troopers out of despair and seeing as Gabrialla was dying came out of the room dragging her with them, it was a good thing that the bunker had some minor radiation resistance otherwise she would have died long ago from radiation poisoning.

He guided them to the Infirmary he had set on the second floor.

"Do you know how to use those?"

He asked the Troopers who were surprised seeing an Infirmary set in a bugling den, but Gabriella's heavy coughing returned them back to reality.

They rushed through the medical supplies and with some rather desperate measures stabilized her condition.

"If only we had some working survival modules"

Said one of them.

"What do they look like?"

Asked Darknym to their surprise.

"Like the ones you burned in her suit, you fucking mutant"

said A trooper who charged at him trying to strangle him, but only doing some meager damage.

"And here I thought you wanted to save her, I was about to lead you to my supplies room, but if you want to have her killed, you should know that the only reason you are all still alive is because I don't know how to save her"

The troopers were now a bit perplexed, the only difference they could find between her and them was probably that she was female, but there were many other females between the heavy troopers he had killed. They thought that it would be better for her to die than become a mutant's plaything.

"The time is ticking and the buglings will respawn, you have only a few minutes to decide if you want to help her or die down here together"

He did "tick tock" sounds with his mouth as he moved his fingers right and left.

"I will save her"

Said one of them who was the closest to her and was doing most of the work to save her in the first place.

"Follow me then"

Said Darknym.

He took him nearby to the room that used to be full of machines. but now was his armory, there were many light trooper armors inside, in almost perfect condition. The trooper facepalmed himself and took one and in a minute she was breathing once more.

"Can you tell us why you trapped us in here instead of killing us?"

Asked the now still weak Gabriella.

"First I was planning to have fun with you but now I'm more interested in why you attacked me without a reason"

"Isn't being a mutant reason enough"

"Well having fun would be good as well, If you weren't so weak, I will wait for a little for you to recover then, just kidding, I want Information about the second wave I had heard that the first wave would only be 10 men and I saw at least a thousand being eaten by the buglings"

"Do you think that knowing what will come will help, the next to come will be the gold force and afterwards the diamond, ruby and emerald shall make their moves"

"Does that mean no more players?"

"Well there are three players in the gold force but I doubt after today that they will come down to this accursed Planet, wait we have a signal from a ship"

"The 'Sweet Kiss' is searching for survivors from operation Cronos, are there any survivor alive?"

"Commander Dredfield speaking we are in an underground abandoned facility, I will now negotiate with the mutant for our release"

Said one of them in a Black heavy trooper suit.

"What can you offer, a mutant ,for your release?"

Asked one another and begun speaking among themselves until the spaceship communication begun again.

"We have detected your signal and are ready to send a rescue team of up to a hundred troopers for your safe rescue"

"Don't do such a thing, the underground facility is full of monsters that could kill a thousands troopers, the only way to come out alive is to negotiate with the mutant for our release"

"Then give him a communicator, our captain wants to speak to him"

They threw him a small box.

"This is captain Mona of the Sweet kiss speaking"

He heard a familiar female voice from the speaker but could not say where he had heard it before.

"Do I know you from somewhere?"

He asked from the transmitter

"Don't know state your name and I'll say if I can remember anything"

"I think I remember now?"

He begun singing fly me to the moon to the transmitter, It wasn't bad at all, but at the same time making both the imprisoned troopers and the ones who were on the ship shocked, because Mona did a double to his voice.

"I knew it, you are that girl at the Casino"

"Are you my benefactor from Allastar, I've been trying to find and thank you but I didn't know your tag name"

"Well If you knew it would probably be easy to find me, I'm quite famous in Allastar"

"My tag name Is Mona can you add me as a friend?"

Darknym added her shocking all the troopers and prisoners, but Mona was even more amazed than them finding that the Infamous Darknym was her benefactor in Allastar, of course that was before he became infamous.

"So what about the prisoners, what deal can you offer?"

"I was thinking about giving you some junk from my ship but that is not an option anymore I do own you one"

"How about a few lifts in your spaceship captain?"

"Where to?"

"I was thinking of going to Echidna and later a visit to Typhoeas"

"Well the first is easy but the second won't be so easy, Typhoeas is a deathtrap, I didn't say I wanted to go Immediately there and a single landing craft won't cost you much will it"

"I accept your conditions just take the prisoners to the surface and we will check their condition and see if everything is alright"

"It will take me five minutes to clear the buglings first so be ready up there"

Darknym cleared the bugling and another system message popped up.

-A player has reached Level 8000-

If you are asking how he did it so fast, there are two reasons, one of the researcher skill raises Xp gained by any methods, mostly intended for machines and the other was his guild buff that was Xp gain alone.

Darknym guided the ten troopers out of the lab where a Soldier waited for them.

He saw the soldier come close and speak.

"I didn't know you were that infamous player, by the way when are you thinking of leaving?"

"Well after the second wave is over I will be leaving for Echidna, I will have to ask you to take my property as well, the place is now full of stuff"

"Well I'll be taking the survivors and leaving then, give me a call if you need anything"

She answered

"Captain one of the Troopers has been mutated, if we bring her to the station she will be executed, will we be sending her to Echidna"

Said a player from her ship.

Mona sighed and said

"It's a pity but she won't make it, mutated humans don't survive for long since their gene integrity collapses before they reach Echidna, we will have to leave her here"

The ten troopers looked at Darknym with rage, they wanted to kill him but they could do nothing for her, she had become a mutant, one of their enemies. There was an unwritten code that they killed their people who mutated but it was always hard so they left them to die on the planet by taking away their equipment.

"Darknym although you probably heard she doesn't have much longer to live so please don't torment her since these are the last ten hours of her life"

"Don't worry I won't give her too much trouble"

said Darknym, but they could tell from his tone that it was the opposite.

Dredfield said his last goodbyes to her as she was about to take off the armor and was about to give it to Dredfield but Darknym took it off his hand.

"Don't forget where you took it from?"

And he threw it back to her.

"Put it on you will be living with me for now till we reach Echidna, but don't think that It will be for free"

She was half naked but refused to wear the armor tossing it back at him.

"You can have your suit, I will die free on the planet of our Ancestors"

Darknym lifted her from the waist like a primitive and took her down his hole, leaving the suit on the surface. He had eaten four laser shots from Dredfield before he jumped down his hole, the other troopers had to restrain him in order not to let him follow him down the hole. Dredfield took all that was left of Gabriella, a light trooper armor.

Darknym used his Y-gene ability which till

now was useless to him.

(gene Integrity repair)

can repair other mutant's Integrity

by sacrificing your own.

He tried using it but it ate up too much of his own Integrity, of course he didn't care since he would just teleport back to his spawn point with 50% Integrity.

Gabriella was surprised as it was the first time she saw an Ability like his.

"Now lets since we are now both mutants, lets sit and talk"

They were at the Infirmary where the only working lights were.

"I won't become your bitch mutant scum"

"I didn't ask you to, not yet at least, what I want is your knowledge, you see I have all this equipment but I have no Idea what it does or how it is used"

"How come you can even talk our language?"

"I'm not any mutant, I'm an Omega mutant, don't mix me with the others"

"By the way how comes this room is the only one that has light?"

"I somewhat repaired the generator next door"

"Do you have tools?"

She asked him.

He guided her to the storage room and next to the generator were numerous sets of tools and components. In three minutes the half naked Blondie had repaired the generator completely. She wore a strange swimsuit alike full body spandex suit, that underlined her body. Only the swimsuit had color the rest was see-through.

"Are you alright now, I thought you would have problems from radiation?"

Asked Darknym.

"I'm a level 1000 heavy trooper do you think I'll die before I adopt to the radiation?"

"I would have preferred if you didn't die at all, tchk, it would be such a waste"

He said looking at her ass

"You know that with this the buglings will probably go away from facility"

"I don't think so, they have a nest in a dark hangar at the third floor"

"Well with this I have probably repaid you for the one more hour of life you gave me"

"Don't all mutants have gene Assimilation?"

"I do but I must find a target for it and in space targets are a rarity"

"Are you good at repairing"

"So-so"

"Can you lets say create a machine or device if you have a working one?"

"If you have the components"

"Perfect, Here this is the machine, it's called gene extractor, I need ten of those to advance my gene engineer profession If I reach professional I might even be able to heal you"

The Blondie hit the generator and it returned to its prior damaged state.

"Are you sure you don't also need a genetics lab with It, I could turn the medic's table into a basic genetics laboratory"

"Then we have a deal, but know that the chances to heal you will at most be 50% at first I must use it on 1 million buglings before the chances grow to a 100%"

"Well I don't have much to do anyway"

"Then wait for a little, I'll go clean the buglings while you work, you know they are also around level 1000"

His words shocked her but what truly shocked her was seeing how he cleaned them, as she took a peek out of the room. He was standing in a sea of buglings and little by little they fell to the ground dead, till only he remained. Darknym came next to her and said.

"I'll be at the third floor if you need anything"

It was now midday and he had another day left till

the Raid on Anchora.

-A player has reached level 9000-

The message said as the bugglings disappeared. He didn't know it but the bugglings were nearing level 2000 already.

Darknym was about to reach level 10000 when he heard a noise coming from the other side of the hall. They were cries of pain as Gabriella had reached 10% of her total gene integrity.

Darknym came towards the crawling Gabriella and took her with him to the Infirmary, It was the only well lit room.

Darknym put her hands on himself and said

"assimilate my genes"

her eyes were diluted, she was about to faint, he was at 100% gene integrity but with every 10% he gave she only gained 1%. He had died two times before she regained her consciousness.

"Just kill me"

She said crying.

He kissed her lips and she pushed him away. He pain would begin again shortly she knew it since her gene was at only 20%.

"You know that you can return to normal, all you have to do is survive, or you could stay a mutant with me and become stronger than you were before, but first you have to survive"

He gave her another 5% with his remaining Integrity, she saw him disappear and rush to her once more he did so until her Integrity had reached 100%.

She was feeling strange, she wanted to die but at the same time she saw hope, if he was really a gene engineer he could really heal her. Darknym went to the lab and put hundreds of genes on the table, he then tried to extract one from himself and he then took a 1% damage each time the gene extraction failed. He had multiple genes and he tried to create what he needed. She was looking at him with a stunned face, as he was completely disregarding her, he was like an Alien scientist who was experimenting on something. She didn't understand what he did but in the end all the samples were destroyed and Darknym left once more to The Third floor.

-A player has reached level 10000-

It was night and she made a makeshift bed to sleep out of a board she found, she was used to hard beds from her younger days from the army, or so she was programed to think.

Darknym didn't log out even to pee, he entered the room now and then to use the gene lab and even expanded it with scraps and components. It was a skill from his genemage profession.

By the end of the second day he had upgraded all his genes to level 3, his X gene he had upgraded up to level 5 gaining five new skills for it and three new skills for the others.

---------------------------------------------------------------

And his level was now 11000.

He logged out and spend an hour in the toilet.

He logged back In and got ready for the assault of the golden force.

The golden force was said to have heavy explosives that rivaled that of the spaceship. Only one carrier came out of the small craft that approached the planet and four people came out of it, Three Npc and one player, all clad in golden heavy power suits, their power suits were at least two meters tall and nearly failed to pass through the hole.

The first thing they saw as they fell was a palm on their leaders face sending electric virus into his armor. His three new electrical skills were a little strange, in reality all of them attacked him as well but he didn't even feel any damage.

----------------------------------------------------

Darknym was shocked to see that the trooper in front of him was completely alright, Gold force had resistances to all elemental damage as well, their only problem was that it was not an Immunity.

With a single punch from his power suit, Darknym lost almost 1% of his 100% Hp. Darknym tried his electric punch but suddenly a gas came out of the Power armor's arm making Darknym fall asleep.

They surely regretted it moments later, as berserker Darknym was unstoppable, they couldn't even hit him and the worst was that he used Ki as well this time he used a strange skill he had gained when trying to push Landlady called Astral claw, only that now it was used on all his fingers.

Their armor didn't suffer any damage, but the inside of it did, they could see their Hp decreasing as the Astral claws passed trough their armors Damaging their flesh.

The players had long abandoned the two Npcs who still tried to hit Darknym with their power fists and machineguns.

His reflexes gene had made him an unhitable target, until a player came back with a spreadgun. It threw tens of missiles that spread into smaller bullet like parts when they exploded.

Darknym was now Awake once more, He took a gun out of his Inventory and Overloaded it while shooting right into The spreadgun, while at the same time selfdestructing. A huge explosion occurred and the lab's hallway had now collapsed. Darknym smiled and begun climbing up the stairs and running towards their carrier. The large suits were now stuck down the ladder at a dead end, Darknym could see their carrier as he run towards it, a player who was foolish enough to come out of his suit quickly died from radiation poisoning as he climbed up the stairs. Being an elite didn't mean he was more than 500levels, in reality his level was around 100, but he was lucky to find a quest that promoted him from the silver force to the gold. It had to do with betraying the silver force's secret.

The Npc in vain tried to use their rocket boosters to ascend the hole as their armors were too huge to make it through. One of them broke armor's arm trying and begun suffering from the radiation.

Inside the Carrier there awaited a light trooper whom Darknym with ease disabled. By electrocuting his armor and throwing him out of the carrier.

The driver of the carrier not knowing that the scout was already off the carrier awaited his news. She heard a knock on the door and felt fear, knowing that it was the mutant who was there to kill her.

Darknym couldn't unlock the door from the outside but he did try sending electricity towards the lock, in the end he shouted.

"If you won't open the door I will blow the engines!"

"You will kill me anyway go ahead and do it"

Darknym hearing the female voice said.

"If you give me all the repair tools and medkits in your Carrier I will let you leave the planet alive"

"Are you telling me the truth"

"Of course"

He said with full confidence

The door opened and a light trooper black female came out of the door with a toolkit and a medkit.

"Thank you"

Said Darknym putting the items in his Inventory.

He was about to leave when he heard a sound from behind him, He saw the gal leaving the light suit and entering a golden heavy suit that wasn't there before.

He charged at her and his arm was caught inside the armor putting his hand around her breast.

"If you don't come out I'll burn you to a crisp"

he said as he send a small spark from his finger.

She opened the suit and Darknym asked

"What's the big deal with this heavy armor?"

"I..I'm really sorry, don't kill me"

She said while crying.

"Are you?"

"I truly am"

"Then take off your full body suimsuit"

"You mean the Cyber armor, but I will be naked"

"Are you sorry enough?"

Darknym said smiling evilly.

With eyes of rage she took off the full body spandex, at the same time Darknym saw how to take it off.

"Thank you for the Tip"

he said as he entered the Heavy armor, for some reason it didn't close, he came out and electrocuted the insides of the armor so that it wouldn't be used against him.

As he came out of the armor and he saw that the black chick was missing. He left the carrier and saw it leave. When he looked down the hole, bullets begun shooting at his face.

Darknym Shouted down there

"Don't mind it I'm sure your carrier will return for you someday"

He heard the female player Shouting curses or was it a female Npc, he didn't care since he only had to go and die somewhere in the desert in order to teleport back to the lab. He went to the desert and committed suicide appearing back in the lab.

He saw Gabriella crawling once more in pain, he took of her full body spandex and begun massaging her while giving her his own Integrity till he died and came back, she was now once more sane but naked since he had her spandex in his Inventory. She looked at him with rage in her eyes.

"What's the meaning of this?"

"Isn't it my payment for saving you from a painful death"

She wanted to punch him but her arms were full covering her naked body. He filled her Integrity up and in the end gave her back her "Cyberarmor". The funny thing was that men wore the same thing, covering their genitals and nipples.

That he had seen from the guy who tried climbing the hole without a survival kit.

"The second wave is over and there probably won't be a third, If you want you can repair the generator, once I take care of the Buglings"

"I don't want to, just let me die in peace"

"Next time I will see you like that I will do more than just take your Clothes off, so come to me when you are at least at 50%"

He looked at her Hp and it was at around 20%, He came closer and used his new skills from the Y gene.

lvl 10

(heal light wounds)

can heal others for a little Hp,

as you lose your Integrity.

lvl 20

(Temporary gift of youth)

Can make an Npc younger for 10minutes,

Takes 90% of your gene Integrity.

lvl 30

(Temporary rapid health regeration)

Gives rapid health regeneration to

someone in exchange for 50% of

your integrity, duration 10minutes.

Darknym used the first healing her until he died and again, making her even more sad and broken on the inside.

Darknym begun doing his gene research once more, he took genes from himself till the machine broke or he died, mostly the first happened, he had created Dozens of gene upgrades but the problem was the other genes. They were fusion genes that controlled stats, body shape, emotions and even personality genes. Right it was the same like brainwashing in a way, but he wanted something different. His gene extraction was now at a safe standard and he now begun little by little to mutate. Buglings Tomorrow it was the day of the Anchora Raid. As much as he wanted to stay in Destros he could not stay forever. He begun gathering bugling corpses for her to assimilate and leveled up his genes to level 10. Him being level 13000 now he could reach level 30 genes, something unheard of in Destros.

Gabriella wasn't as happy living in the stinky Bugling Den, knowing that one of these days they might just leave for Echidna an even more hated place for anyone in the Silver force, she wasn't sure if he even wanted to heal her anymore.

Darknym saw her sleeping and secretly filled up her Integrity and Health, the first now took him 5% to fill her 1%, meaning doubled his recharge. His healing was a still noobish and his self repair was now 0.1 per second, He had it on all the time now since It was his self regeneration gene anyway.

He logged out feeling safe that she would be alive when he wakes up the next day.
