Harem Reborn

Chapter 118: Red-Soaked Sand

The ride was rocky at first, but soon it smoothed out; we still couldn't see out of the dome, so we decided just to lay back and relax. There would be more than enough excitement tomorrow. Even Mikota was silent as we wait to get to our destination.

Finally, we stop, and the girls started to get up, but I put my hand up. 

/Wait, we need to stick together, so let me go first. Then you all follow behind; this place is going to be dangerous. Ignore almost everyone we meet and keep your glass clouded; the less they know, the better, okay? 

I climbed out of the vehicle, followed by the girls. I turned to wave to our driver, but the bubble closed, and he drove away. At least he didn't drop us out the bottom this time. 

//So, were we staying tonight? -Mikota.

/I was hoping Sasha or Kyrina would help us out there in that department

//That this is the sun district, there is a motel called Sandy Nights close -Kyrina.

//After we get settled, Kyrina and I can show the market and such -Sasha.

Talk of the market made me think of Iona and Maxine, but I got that same ominous feeling again. What was going on? Why was I getting this feeling like something is wrong whenever I thought about the girls? They should be heading back... No... NO.

It felt like my shoulder was torn off, causing my drop to my knees, shaking and gripping my shoulder. The girls turned to men, but next was my left leg torn off at the knee. These were all just feelings for my but they for real for here.

Maxine was dying.

I couldn't think; I just looked at Kyrina and ripped my bracelet off, handing it to her. 

/Find a place at the motel, and I will be back

//But, Dave, we can... -Kyrina.

But I was gone, and I knew it would be too late, moving like a blur to the edge of the city. I could feel her dying like I was sharing the experience, and It made me push harder. What was happening out there? Had a monster attacked them?

When I hit the edge of the city and got outside the protective bubble, Alta was able to give me an exact location. I willed the suit to change, and I let Diamond feel my rage as the suit expanded as I ran. Soon, my body was over five meters tall, and I started moving faster.

It didn't talk long for me to find the blood-soaked sand. Maxine's body lay on the ground, torn and lifeless, but I willed Diamond to eject me forwards, and I shot out of my MAS into the red-soaked sand beside her. Tear poured down my face as I took the bloody corpse in my arms; Maxine, how did this happen?

Where was Iona, Maxine was dead, but Iona was still alive. I turned to Diamond, and he tried to grab me to put me inside of him, but I put up a hand, my body lines burning a violent purple. I would tear them limb from limb for this; no amount of violence would be enough for the anger and pain I felt right now.

"Where are they?"

"Are you looking for us, Da..."

The second I heard the voice, my brain started to pinpoint the exact location it had come from. I didn't let the traitor finish, Irellia had Iona, and she killed Maxine; no words were needed. I turned and ran at the tall black MAS with the glowing core, covering twenty meters in a blink.

She had never expected me to attack so recklessly and obviously knew nothing about my current strength. I severed the Black MAS unit's arm with a violent hand chop that cut through the arm that held the unconscious form of Iona. Diamond caught her and retreated back, but another Black MAS tried to attack me while I was distracted, but I put up my arm to stop the arm twice the size of my own body.

As the parts shattered around me from the impact, I notice something. There is blood on the parts, and then almost as though time had slowed, I watched the blood-spattered parts fly around me. The arm tried to pull back, but I grabbed the arm with all my might and pulled, ripping it off the suit.

The MAS looked down at me stupidly now with a small arm sticking out, so I willed Diamond to cut it off before doing the same to both their other remaining arms. I hopped up and ripped open the suit, my fingers still glowing dug into the metal like butter, and I tore it open. Inside was the bleeding and smiling form of Kyrin; he shook as he bled out and looked about to die, but he spit up at me, so I crushed his groin with my left barefoot.

"You're lucky I only got one of the bitches! I would have torn each one to shreds for leaving me! How does it feel to have your own bitch betray you like this?"

I didn't answer, I used my fists to talk, and they spoke until his body was an unmoving and unrecognizable pile of flesh. Tears stream down my face as I wasted no time moving to the other black armless MAS. I was about to rip into her, but I was blow off my feet and knocked back ten meters.

The explosion caused me little to no damage, but the concussion left my head spinning as I got up. Diamond was there, and he grabbed me and force me into the suit, which was now large enough inside to fit two people. Once inside, I saw what had hit me, a massive ship that blocked out the sun was aiming weapons at me. 

I wanted to stay and finish the job, but I wouldn't risk Iona. I had noticed her face seem pale behind her glass, so the only real choice was to retreat. Diamond turned and disappeared from the spot we stood in as tears streamed down my face.
