Chapter 6 - Night Shadow's wish

Night Shadow did not stay still. He moved while aiming at one of the bots. The "X" appeared in Night Shadow's vision. He targeted the bot and shot.

Wizz~

The bullet left a purple-black tail and hit the bot. Before any bot could do anything, the targeted bot vanished leaving nothing behind. Silence greeted his shot. The crowd looked at the scene with widened eyes, and the other participants stopped in their tracks with their eyes wide open.

How could Night Shadow not take advantage of the situation?

Night Shadow started aiming at the bot closest to him and shot. The targeted bot also vanished like it was never there. It was at this moment, the other bots started to move. Night Shadow quickly looked at another bot and shot. The bot died. Night Shadow could hear dinging in his head but did not pay heed to it and started targeting other bots.

Night Shadow kept doing this when he suddenly felt danger and turned in another direction. He saw a bullet go past him and hit the ground.

'Shit, that almost hit me'

Night Shadow turned to the direction where the bullet came from and saw a bot, 500 meters away from him, holding a sniper and about to take a shot at him. Night Shadow started moving towards the sniper at full speed. The sniper bot looked at Night Shadow with widened eyes.

'How can a bot travel at that speed?!!'

Night Shadow was going quite fast due to the increase in his speed attribute. While Night Shadow started moving towards the sniper, the sniper moved back and the other bots got out their weapons and started moving at Night Shadow.

Night Shadow had to start increasing his shooting accuracy. Night Shadow kept shooting and many bots died. While shooting, Night Shadow also kept turning from side-to-side to dodge bullets. Many bullets scratched him but that's it.

'They never said anything about transforming, did they?'

Night Shadow jumped with all his power and transformed into Black Demon. He started flying towards the sniper. When Night Shadow was in the range of 300 meters, he transformed back and aimed at the sniper.

Wizz~

The sniper had a look of disbelief before he vanished. All the participants became enlightened, after seeing this way of fighting.

'Why didn't we think about that?'

But Night Shadow did not give them more time and he started shooting at them. With the only sniper gone, Night Shadow finished the other bots within 30 minutes.

Night Shadow finally relaxed. The crowd went crazy because of the new form of fighting Night Shadow displayed. Night Shadow saw the system's messages...

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

When Night Shadow thought he had been shocked enough, after seeing the system's messages, he fell in shock again. Night Shadow gained 17 levels just from one battle. 17! Night Shadow felt his eyes spinning round and round when a deep voice resounded through the stadium.

"Congratulations to Night Shadow for winning his first battle. As his prize, he may ask us for one wish"

The crowd's excitement disappeared and pin-drop silence engulfed the stadium. They knew the thirteen Primes, from oldest to youngest, were - Deus Prime, Auralia Prime, Astruus Prime, Primentenus Prime, Confedix Prime, Helios Prime, Amzion Prime, Spatium Prime, Dermundrix Prime, Hydropalis Prime, Callactrix Prime, Gallian Prime, and Optimus Prime. The thirteen creators of Cybertron. The one who spoke now was Deus Prime.

Night Shadow knew what he wanted and he said, "I want the best quality robots parts for me. By that I mean, I want the best vision sensor for my vision, the best communication device for communication, at least 5000 tonnes of Rarified Energon for my inner and outer body completely, and so on for different parts of my body. Do you understand what I am trying to say, creator Deus?"

In Cybertron, each of the thirteen primes was called by putting "creator" and their first name(like creator Dermundrix, creator Hydropalis, and so on).

"I understand. Come to the Upper Tower in a day's time and collect your reward", after saying this, the deep voice faded.

Night Shadow secretly rejoiced. He thought that creator Deus won't allow him the wish, much less the Rarified Energon. Energion was the energy that ran the transformers. It was the core of Cybertron's planet. While running the Energion, some of the Energion compresses and formes a solid object. The creators called it Energon. When Energon was compressed under a lot of pressure, it became very thin but the product was stronger than Cybertronian Steel and had regenerative properties. The product was called Rarified Energon. All the Thirteen Primes were made of Rarified Energon. Night Shadow did not know about the Energon but guessed because there were so many things in Cybertron similar to that he had seen in the movies. In the movie, Optimus Prime had regenerative properties because of the Rarified Energon.

Night Shadow guessed he only needed 1500 tonnes of Rarified Energon to deconstruct and absorb to remake his body. With the remaining 3500 tonnes, he will try to make a spaceship. After all, Night Shadow was not always going to be on Cybertron. Cybertron will be destroyed because of the war(at least in the movies).

Night Shadow left the stage with a smile while all the bots were talking about him with respect. But he was not going to go anywhere. He was going to participate in the next match.

Night Shadow left the stage and went to the golden bot and said, "I would like to participate again"

The golden bot looked up straight into Night Shadow's eyes and said, "I am sorry but you may only be able to participate after 3 days"

Night Shadow could only sigh in disappointment and leave the Stadium. Right now, he was planning to go back to the base and farm experience points by attending the orders for the Mechanic's Base.

Night Shadow took 30 minutes to leave the city. Why 30 minutes? Because he was "sightseeing" the city. The city was quite beautiful and Night Shadow wanted to see it. After the "sightseeing", headed back to the base.

While flying, Night Shadow decided it was the best time to distribute the stats points so he said, 'System, put 110 stats points in strength, dexterity, intelligence, and speed. Put the last 40 points in luck'

Night Shadow didn't know why but he felt like increasing his luck stats would be beneficial for him in the future. Night Shadow focused and reached the base within 1 hour because was traveling at very high speeds. Night Shadow quickly went towards his workshop and started on the orders. Right now, Night Shadow wanted to level up quickly to grow stronger. Even though the war was almost 15 years later, if he ventures into space with very little strength, it would like going to death's door itself. Through the information Night Shadow gained, he knew a lot of monsters in space that could rip him apart just by a sneeze. Night Shadow wanted to be ready to face whatever comes against him in the future. And so, Night Shadow started working.

--1 Day later --

Night Shadow came out of his workshop with a smile. He leveled 3 more times{lvl 34 (0/7700)} but did not distribute the stats points right now. Night Shadow decided that he would distribute the stats when he rebuilds himself with the Rarified Energon.

Night Shadow left the base and started flying towards the city.

It took him 2 hours to reach the city. Because of yesterday's match, Night Shadow received quite some reputation too. Wherever he went, people would murmur about how strong and cool he was. Night Shadow only smiled and left.

15 minutes later, he reached the tower.

Night Shadow looked in amazement because he couldn't see the Tower's end. The Tower was completely black in color and looked like a skyscraper from Earth, just with an unimaginable height.

'Just how tall is this building?'

Night Shadow shook his head and came out of the stupor. He entered the building and saw millions of bots working. Night Shadow looked down and saw he was standing on a white marble-like material floor and the walls were made of some dark-colored wood. Night Shadow looked around and knew that something even more advanced than "Advance Spatial Building" was used. The first floor was square in shape. Night Shadow looked up and saw that the higher he saw, the square shape started becoming more triangular.

Night Shadow was in the middle of at least a hundred thousand bots that were going in and out of the building. Night Shadow was amazed but shook his head because he couldn't make the Thirteen Primes wait.

Night Shadow headed for the female receptionist and before he could ask anything, the female receptionist said, "Go there and don't resist the pull"

The receptionist pointed behind her and said those words. Night Shadow thanked her and went towards the way. The door behind the receptionist opened and Night Shadow went inside.

It was a long dark corridor. It was completely black and was 30 feet tall, and 20 feet wide. Night Shadow did not think about it much and started walking forward. He kept moving forward for 5 minutes when a square translucent platform came in view.

Night Shadow went and stood on the transparent platform. Suddenly, four translucent walls started rising from the four sides of the square translucent platform and kept rising till they hit the ceiling and stopped.

The moment the walls hit the roof, a square was formed. The square on the ceiling opened and Night Shadow instantly felt a very powerful suction force pulling him. Night Shadow did not resist and suddenly started moving up.

Night Shadow knew he was moving at a speed faster than the speed of sound but slower than the speed of light. Night Shadow kept going up for 10 minutes when the suction force became weaker and the overhead platform opened.

Night Shadow passed the platform and the suction force stopped. He stood on the platform in a dark room when suddenly...

"Welcome to our domain, Night Shadow"
