Chapter 44 - Kamemaru

As the turtle monster comes out from the bacta tank, it began to smash everything in front of him as the .... recent event suddenly flashes through his memory.

" Grraaahhhh !!!!!!!!!!!!! ..... that Damn Shielder !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " he says enraged as he remembers his defeat.

As the Turtle-like monster slams everything in anger, a drone came and asks the monster if he's alright which the turtle monster disagrees and asks back if the drone's scanner has malfunctioned or her optics suddenly go fuzzy.

Hearing that the drone states a simple no which makes the turtle monster a bit calmed.

( After a few minutes. )

" So he's really that powerful isn't he, " said the turtle-like monster whose face was covered in shadows as he rewatch the recording of the battle against Rangga.

" Too bad I didn't enlist another drone at that time, thanks to that I can only see from the first-person angle only," he says.

"[ Yes my lord, you are correct, due to our war with the other Triumvirate guilds (Black Thorn and Wraith Raiser), our army production has gone increasingly slow. ]" said the drone as she present the Data to him.

"[ According to my analysis sir, our production rate has been depleted into 45% due to the Black Thorn guild leader attack on our territory. ]"

"[ Not just that, since our guild is the guild with the more resources, the Wraith Raiser guild recently just announced an all-out war against us as they demand our rich resources that according to my scans ... ]"

" Skip it. " as the Turtle monster orders.

"[ Of course sir, next is the arrival of the rumored 'human' Candidate that has been running up recently to the battlefield ... ]"

"[ We still don't know much about this human and we also exactly didn't have any information about him ... ]" the drone says as she shows Rangga's face.

" Hmmm .... I see ... " he murmured.

" Rangga Orlando Kent ... "

" Prediction of the current age: 13 (mentally) "

" His sin factor is ..... 'Vanity' huh ... that's unusual," he says which the drone answers.

"[ Yes sir, an unusual sin indeed, since the whole fortress system identifiers had a ... hard time analyzing it ... ]"

"[ Not just that, the chance of revealing it ASAP is also very low at the percentage of 34%. ]"

" Hmmph .... sigh ... !!!!! " says the turtle.

As the turtle leans on his chair, he began to look out at the window and sees the production factory where he mechanized the other candidates and the Pit's spawns.

As the production was ongoing, the turtle then stands and approaches the window to look at his area's soldier production.

" Hmmmmmmm ....... " he says as he gives a thought about the current situation that has been transpired.

" The Full-battle of the Triumvirate is near ..... "

" If this keeps continuing, I and my guild, everything that I already have created will be the first one to fall," he says as leans his head onto the window.

" For many years, I had calculated think so perfectly even the strongest monster yet Sleeper had no balls to outsmart me." the turtle monster says as he suddenly remembers his shady past.

( Many Years Ago. )

" Stop to ... stop it go away !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " said the past turtle mecha as he was suddenly attacked by an awakened Sleeper that lies into the [Temple of Lores] guarding the secrets of the almighty ChronoAxis.

His mechanized armor back then was not as advance as the armor that he currently used to this day, back there his armor was simple a metal armor that he crafted using his own toolkit.

So as he tried to flee from the Sleeper he just runs and prays that the Temple's traps are still working with it actually did. After the sleeper was defeated, he then took the Sleepers Core that suddenly reacted to him.

" Wha ... what happened !!!!!??? " Kamemaru said as he was engulfed in a cubic dimensional room.

As he cubic engulfs him, Kamemaru then sees a light and a building, rich with steels and electricity, mechanized 'horses', 'living armors', and so on.

" What the ... what the hell is this ... ?? " Kamemaru asks, ..... but .... suddenly.

" It's the vision of the future Candidate Kamemaru .... !!!!!!! "

" A future that you will create..... in the due .... time. " said the voice.

" Who's there, who are you, and ... where are you ?? " Kamemaru asks as the 'vision of the future' vanishes, leaving the void space of darkness filled with neon lights.

As he tries to search for the owner of that voice, the voice began to speak again and said, " It doesn't matter who I am or where I am at Kamemaru, ... "

" What actually matters now, is what are your dreams for the future? " the voice asked.

" My dreams for the future ..... " Kamemaru asks.

" Yes your dreams of course, ... as a dwarven descendant (although you're actually half Reptilian half-dwarf) you should've at least forge one vision of your possible right?? " the voice asks.

As the voice says that, Kamemaru thinks for a bit as he is instantly reminded of what his dwarf mother advises.

"( Kamemaru ... as a dwarven descendant, you need to be smart, creative, and innovative enough to shape the future ... )"

" Shape the future ..... " Kamemaru murmured.

"( But ... )"

"( What all of that has to do with my Sin Factor ... the 'Gluttony' ?? )" Kamemaru asks in his mind as he remembers he is related to the Gluttony sin with ancient beast relation to Archelon to the ancient turtle that roams the sea with its big body and mouth.

As Kamemaru thinks of that, the voice then says to him, " What it has to do you ask? hmmmmm ...."

" Of course it's about your lifespan ..... " said the voice.

After the voice states that, Kamemaru is confused as he didn't understand the relation of any of the things that the voice just said earlier.

"( What the hell does this mysterious mean huh .... )" Kamemaru asks.

"( Previously it just said things about the future, after that, it said about my race, and then he said about my lifespan huh ... ??? )"

"( What the hell does it really want ??? )"

" Ummmm ... excuse me O mysterious voice .... "

" What actually did you mean by saying these things to me? ... like you know" ask Kamemaru to the voice.

Hearing that the voice then answers, " It because everything is related for your means to gain your wanted future of course. "

" First, your future needs to be good and perfect so you can live in it. "

" Second, In order to make that thing possible, ..... you must absorb and glutton every knowledge, power, and relics that exist within this pit. "

" And the final one, which the last thing you should importantly do, .... "

" You need to find a way to further your lifespan through any means necessary ... "

" So you can see the future for yourself ... " said the voice as suddenly light shines in front of Kamemaru.

After the light disappears, Kamemaru opens his eyes as he was transported to a Fortress that was full of Technology and Mechs. As Kamemaru sees that, the voice says.

" Kamemaru, for now, these things that been shown here are your tools forwards that you could use to pursue your future .... "

" Learn everything from it and use it so you can win the upcoming war and take your place as ChronoAxis's vessel ..... "

" With that, the power of time .... destiny .... and future ... will become yours." said the voice as it disappears to nowhere.

( Return to the Present.)

" You right mysterious voice ... " Kamemaru says as he remembers it.

" I can't give up now .... "

" After all, it is my destiny to grasp that envisioned future of mine. " as Kamemaru says that he press some button on the computer device that he uses right now as suddenly the whole factory that exists within the area increases their activity and their production of Mechanized armies as Kamemaru desires.

" Hey, AR2 ( The Drone's name), inform the other mechs and machines that from now on our working hours will be longer and more solid than before, .. "

" As the incoming War is upon us and we should not rest until we achieve absolute victory .... "

" ... For the Future ... !!!! " Kamemaru shouts as the whole area instinctively follows his directives.
