~~~~~~Testing Room~~~~~~
"This was a bad idea!" Saji said as he was running as quickly as he could through the jungles. He was trying very hard to move as fast as he could without tripping or getting trapped in the tree vines.
"You don't say! Why did you think it was a good idea to test the capacities of the holograms with a freaking predator!? Couldn't you have picked a tamer creature!?" Tomoe complained as she too was running away.
"It doesn't matter now! We need an open area to face this invisible foe!" Sona quickly took command with a sweaty forehead.
She was having an extremely hard time believing they were still inside the testing room! The sun, the humid atmosphere, the trees, the smell… they were in a very very realistic imitation of the Amazonian forest!
Sona looked behind while rushing away from The Predator, the alien creature from the movie with the same name.
The younger Sitri didn't want to brag, but, when Saji suggested facing The Predator, she sort of agreed. She remembered some scenes from the movies. And didn't think much about it…
But, the moment they were 'transported' into the simulation. They were picked up one by one. First was her Queen, then her Rook, followed by her Bishops, one by one. Leaving only Saji, Her, and Tomoe.
First of all, they couldn't even sense it. The optical illusion was not magical, it was technological! Not only that but the sounds the creature makes are quite scare inducing.
Predator clicking sound
"Shit! it's somewhere close!?" Saji asked with a horrified look as he looked around. He could only see trees, trees, and more trees, everywhere!
Moments later something landed behind him as he heard more of the alien clicking sound.
Suddenly, a fist smashed into his back, sending Saji flying like a ragdoll.
The blond flew into a tree sideways. His vision got blurry from all the pain flowing into his body from the collision. The thing hits with a lot of force. He remembered that the alien predator is based on all the movies related to The Predator. And he vividly remembers that in one of the movies, the predator could quite simply pull out a spine from one's body with it's bare hands.
Meaning it has a lot of power. Even the Blonde's Devil physiology didn't help him much here. Since he can't quite tell where the hunter is. Saji could only predict the general location. But, the problem with this was that, The Predator is a master in hand to hand combat. The thing will beat the shit out of him. If this was the real deal he would have already been dead a long time ago.
Before the alien hunter could approach the downed blonde, a torrent of water slammed into its general area. Revealing the exact location of the invisible foe.
"There! Tomoe! Get it!" Sona ordered.
"On it!" The Sitri Knight rushed forward with her new sword created through her new gear.
A sword collided with the gauntlet of the Predator.
The moment the cloaking was disabled, Tomoe could finally see the towering above two-metre tall alien creature.
"So...cool…" She muttered in an excited tone. Before suddenly getting punched with The Predator's left hand, sending her flying.
Moments later, the shoulder cannon shot a beam of electricity, slamming directly into where Tomoe was.
[Sitri Knight eliminated!]
Tsk
"I know it's an iconic monster! But seriously! I am trying to win here!" Sona was pissed. And yes, she was also terrified. The thing is scary. Even though she knows it's just a hard light hologram! It could still freak them out even though they know it's fake. It's absurdly realistic!
Groan
"Sorry… I am trying!" Saji said with a tired tone. He still feels the pain in his gut.
Roar
The Predator reminded them that he was still here as his shoulder cannon started firing beams of electricity.
Sona tried to dodge, but the shoulder cannon was rapidly adapting to her patterns…
And before long, Sona was cornered. The Predator rushed forward to knock her out. But then, unexpectedly, Absorption line wrapped around one of it's limbs.
For a second Saji was delighted that he caught The Predator, but… that happiness was short-lived as the alien hunter pulled him towards itself.
The blonde very quickly realised that the shoulder cannon was pointing at him.
'Oh fuck!'
In the very next moment, the shoulder cannon released a bolt of lightning and the blonde was out.
[Sitri Pawn Eliminated!]
The Predator turned around and faced Sona who gulped down seeing the thing facing her. It was a towering monster from space!
"Umm... I surrender."
[Sitri King Surrendered! The Predator wins!]
Sona sighed hearing that… not gonna lie this was so real that she, for a moment, was truly afraid that it was not fake…
The surroundings started to disappear one by one. Revealing the white room. And for some reason, The Predator was still there…
"Not gonna lie, Saji was a genius reminding me about the Predator. I am gonna give him that Playstation 3 he wanted, even though the deal was that you guys have to win this." Marcus walked over with Serafall and the revived group of the Sitri Peerage. Well, Tomoe and Saji were still out.
The teen inventor walked over to the tall space hunter and fist-bumped it before the thing disappeared.
Sigh
"I can't believe we went through all that just so that he could get the upgraded Playstation 3…" Momo said while messaging her temples.
"Don't worry it will be in my living room for the foreseeable future," Sona said with a no-nonsense tone.
Her peerage snorted in amusement. They can't wait to see Saji's face when he hears about this.
"So-tan that was so cool, you just faced the big bad Predator!" Serafall hugged her baby sister when she least expected it.
"...please sister, it's embarrassing!" Sona said with an embarrassed look.
"Besides… I messed up badly. I didn't expect him to be this strong!" The younger Sitri said with a disappointed tone, her gaze was soft. She had underestimated the hunter very badly.
"Don't beat yourself up that much. Hmm, I have another opponent which you could face if you want. Another shot? What do you say?" Marcus asked with a thoughtful look, he has something in mind for Sera's sister.
"Hmm? I hope it's not Darth Vader…" Momo said to herself. She then looked around realising that everyone was looking at her.
"...Not gonna lie. That's an awesome idea. But, no. It's not a fictional character." The teen said with a smirk.
The younger Sitri gulped down when she saw the smirk.
"Who is it?"
"The Red Dragon Emperor."
The group's eyes widened to max.
"You… you have the Boosted Gear?" Sona asked with disbelief. She was in disbelief because she could not even find the host of the Heavenly Dragon for the past year!
"Nope. But I have had the Gear scanned for over a year. And…" Marcus pointed next to him, where polygons were gathering into a female looking physique encased in the iconic Red Scale Mail.
"Beat Aurora. And you will get a thousand points each."
"For real!?" Saji asked as he groggily walked over, he got 'resurrected' when he heard the amount of points they were getting for this!
"With that amount, I could buy a supercar!"
"You don't even have a license!" Momo said while shaking her head. She can't believe how easily this blonde got sucked into the whole items getting concept!
"Easily solvable! I only need to wait for over two years and I can get it! The point is that the car doesn't need any maintenance! No fuel consumption, no breakdowns! It's simply godly!" Saji grimaced slightly when he mentioned godly… he needs to stop thinking and meaning what those words meant.
The rest of the peerage also grimaced hearing what he just said…
"You right on that," Marcus smirked with satisfaction.
Sona's peerage internally groaned again. The inventor was inflating the blonde's desires… the teen inventor truly is more of a devil than a human.
"See. Even our employer agrees with me." Saji proudly said that.
"Then you can fight the Red Dragon Emperor if you want," Sona said while fixing her glasses.
"Umm...I thought this was a peerage fight? I mean we are all getting points this time right!?" The Sitri Pawn exclaimed with a panicked look. Like hell was he going to face a Longinus user alone!
"Hmm… I suppose you are right." Sona relented with a sigh.
"I think we should rest first? No? I mean this is fighting against someone who could potentially kill a God!?" Tomoe questioned with a worried look. She was just electrocuted!
