Deryl and Titan, were about to go out in the forest again, but this time they had, three UAZs going with them. As once they had agreed to a demon, they had to go all the way through.
And this was a female demon, we're talking about. Grand daughter, of the Old demon who stood at the top of Milky Way United.
She has been writing literature, since the age of five. Written novels, that could make one a millionaire, at the very least. Poems that could melt hearts of even devils.
Not just that, currently she is the honorary head of MWU, in the Universal Skynet. If not for the lack of strength, she would already have become the permanent one.
Even the value of her father was outshined, due to her political capabilities. Many believed that her works, had an art of hypnotism embedded, easily giving hers, the support to make her the Honorary Head. While her grandfather stood behind all of the decisions, because he could see. He could see her potential, her talents befitting of a leader. He once said, "The only one I can imagine being a future leader in my huge family, is just one. One, and that is Natalia Mches."
This was a public statement, but nobody not even the member of Mches family could deny it. Deryl was also a talent from the Mches family. But he, he was a fighter, a strategist and not a leader.
She pursued, not just literature but also political power. That also gave a push to the reign she will have in the future. She wanted to expand her monopoly in the real world. She wanted to be the known leader, throughout the Milky Way and the Universe.
But her father, he compelled her to go in the Skynet. And she couldn't refuse for two reasons.
He said, "To be the leader of the future, you must become the part of the future. And not just that, the son of your hero, will be in there. In couple of months you will meet. Don't you want to meet him?"
And that forced her, to go in. She believed, in violence but, not being violent herself. Because she believed, she was a girl of words. A person who can claim the 'democratic' throne of Milky Way, with only words. She believed in having people fight for her and not fighting by herself.
Thus, even though she joined Universal Skynet, she leveled up pretty slowly. She had chosen the Fire City as her starting point. She spent a few days there, with he permanent permit.

But then, the plan, of Deryl Mches's father was being discussed by MWU. The plan meant to make the power of humanity grow, in an explosive manner. And, it was going pretty well. The starting city, had been chosen as the Earth City, for various reasons.
Everyone was hoping that things would go well, before the initiation of Deryl Mches and San M. Titan. But on the day of their initiation, things changed. The chance of humanity, appeared hundreds of years earlier than the estimation. And that also, during the time when two VR fighting geniuses just started.
A few hours, before the announcement was made worldwide, she was told that the plan, had to be moved forward. She would have to travel, through the teleportation portal.
Although, it was eye-catching and expensive even for the Milky Way United, she had to do it with her groups of friends.
Many would ask, why would she wanna show her self so high profile. Teleportation in Universal Network cost a lot. Only MWU could allow the access, for such a quick transfer. Many questions would be raised. It would be too eye-catching. But she did not care, not this time.
She didn't mind it, because she wanted to see the 'Masked Gangster' of MWU VR, as soon as possible.
And she did, but without realising she had already threatened him twice. And the most amazing thing was that, he had confessed to her even after that.
She had seen him fighting with his mask on, in live fighting tournaments. Heard the stories of his bravery. Heard how he rescued Deryl from the gaurd of a whole guild. Known their notoriety, he and Deryl had been claimed as the VR gangsters of the century.
Earlier she wnated to see him, know him. The son of the greatest genius in the History of mankind. The person known as the 'Maniac Scientist', for his delusions. He had many names, some called him Hero, while some called him a madman out of jealousy.
But when, she finally saw who his son was. She was astonished, and felt shamed. For she had done nothing, but walked away when the son of the greatest hero of mankind(according to her), had cried while confessing to her. She also, felt fear due to some reason. It was like her inner self didn't want to stand against him, no matter what.
There were many reasons for her to go on their side. Plus she had already developed, a sense of liking for him.
Thus, she decided to join their operations, leaving behind the position of the Honorary Head of MWU in the Universal Skynet. She chose to be a part of them, and requested from MWU, to be appointed as the head of their organisation.
Most accepted, while some of the directors also rejected, but eventually she was given the position. This, was done to show the public, that democracy was still the rule here.
But no one had a choice, as the Old President was standing behind the scenes. She knew about it, but had no qualms. Connections are to be used in times of need, no?
Now, she had him in her bag. Just that she had to keep him and Deryl under control. Being in-charge will be difficult, for they will become far more powerful as time goes. That will pose a problem, but she will have to find a solution, if she wants to gain control of MWU in the real world.
"Natly? You're here?" Deryl questioned, while looking at her with a weird expression.
She was sitting in the UAZ, looking at the windshield, while giving out a creepy smile. That had given, Deryl the chills. Thus, he asked out.
"Yes, ofcourse I am here. Now let's get on with it. We're going to the Western Earth Coast." She commanded.
She was sitting on the front seat, with one of the five guys in black suits, named Marcelo.As his name suggests, his face was shaped like a monkey.
(You remember the monkey from F.R.I.E.N.D.S? That's it.)
While two of his canines, barely pointing out of his lips and black and white facial hair. He was assigned as her personal guard for the mission. The other four? They were sitting in the other two cars in pair, which were carrying some luggage.
Deryl and Titan were sitting at the back, of the car she was in.
Titan tapped on the door of the car, and said, "Why use this thing? I think I can run faster than this."
Deryl was about reply, but before Deryl, could say anything, Natalia interrupted him.
"Well, I know you're a superhero, but every one needs to go, no? And I can't run that fast, I'd be too tired. It'd be another thing , if you carry me though."
"Uh? Sure."
Marcelo looked at him, and said, "No ones carrying anybody. We're all going with the cars, supplies won't come on their own."
Natalia looked at him with disappointed look.
'You can't do one thing right, can you monkey?'
And then said to him, "Let's go then, what are you waiting for?" in her angry cold voice.
Marcelo, realised his mistake and looked at her. She didn't look at him and kept looking at the front. Then, he started the enginee while thinking.
'I bet, I am in trouble now.'
Behind his, car the other two also, started moving.
Titan was too quiet, and this bothered Deryl. Thus, he surrendered his fake-ego(which tried to make up in front of Natalia), and asked.
"What's up baby boy? Why are we so quiet today?"
Titan was mess already, and didn't want to say anything. So, he just murmured.
"No reason, I'm good."
"Is he very talkative, at other times?" Natalia, joined in on the conversation.
"If I am honest, you wouldn't hear the end of it. He just keeps on and on, about killing this and that."
"For example yesterday, whenever we finished hunting a group of wolves or wild cats. He'd be like 'why the hell am I sealing his kills' and all that."
"You were stealing my kills." Titan said in a low voice.
"No, I was not. You just saying that because you couldn't level up even after killing so much."
"He killed a lot?" Natalia aksed.
"You bet he did, two-thirds of the group belongs to him. And we hunted about half a dozen groups and you know what he's just level 9, right now."
"We switched to different method later, no?" Titan stated.
"Yeah, that was when you felt I was killing more than you."
Titan tried to say to something to defend himself, but before he could say something, his eyes got in contact with Natalia and she said, "You're so strong?"
At that moment, he felt it. He felt the feeling she had in hidden in her eyes. He felt the attraction she felt, her ambition, her fear and most of all her enthusiasm, for him. Her words didn't state much, but her eyes gave it all away for him.
Thus, instead of denying he just said.
"Well, since I am strong I need to have more, right? Even Universal Skynet follows the same law, no?"
Deryl looked at him, and thought with a smile plastered.
"Now, you're coming out of the shell. Come out and get her."
*Screech*
The brakes sounded and the car stopped while, shaking the people the seated.
Another two screeches, and all the three vehicles stopped.
Marcelo, looked at the front, there were lazer lines across the path. He frowned, and pulled out a UT Powered pistol from his side.
"Guys, we have company."
