Chapter 10 - The Onyx Corp Armory

Two figures were in front of a large hall which had a futuristic exterior. Some noises came from the building which was the sound of metal clanging. As the two entered inside, a figure came from the back of the hall were an overall with a metallic helmet. Soon enough the person removed the helmet only reveal another beauty who had short yellow hair and dark red eyes which could one shivers.

Her name to be specific, Anna the technician.

"What brings you here Lynn?"Anna asked

"Hi, Anna, our newcomer here needs a weapon, don't you?"Lynn teased Luke. He could only help but nod in silence.

"I think I have something for him,"She said while turning aroud and starting to head deeper into the hall.

Luke could not help but stare at Anna's behind while she was walking. Up,down,Up,down. While he was still focused on her huge behind, he got interrupted by Lynn who had a "not so cool bro" face.

"Ahem!" She cleared her throat.

As they continue to follow Anna, Luke got lost in the amazing designs of the weapons. Not just one category, but several kinds. Knives, swords, bows, scythes, and many more. But one weapon took his attention. When the other two noticed him stopping signalled something.

"Oh you like that one, she's called Evergreen, the Extended Hammer!"Anna said with so much pride in her creation

It was no ordinary hammer, but it had an extended handle which was the length of a door. Apart from that, its hammer head looked like enchanted stone which exhibited some kind of magic. With its every edge chiseled, it gave the user of this weapon some kind of powerful aura.

[ System acknowledges compability with weapon ]

[ System recommends this weapon ]

Why have you been silent, System?

[ Just watching your awesome love life story ]

Which love life?

[. . .]

"Hey, new kid, you seem to be lost in my creation, but anyways let me prepare it according to your stats in the database. Come for it in your next mission, Kay?"She asked to which Luke only nodded.

He then gave space for Lynn and Anna to talk for a few minutes concerning other matters. So he went out to enjoy the breeze the land offered. Soon as he came out, he saw two figures approaching him and he felt confused who else could visit the Armory late at night. But to his surprise, as soon he saw clearly who the two were, he took a chill pill.

"Hey Luke," the two said in sync.

"Hey there, Ava and Lily, what brings you here late at night?"He asked as the two looked at each other and finally faced him. 

"Luke, we need to ask something,"

"Sure, ask away,"

The two struggled to voice out their matters, but they both got courage to speak out.

"Luke. . . do you love us?"

"Love? Don't you think that's a bit of a strong word, why do you ask?" Luke was confused why did this duo approach him, to talk to him about something sensitive.

"What Ava is trying to say it that, who deserves you more, between the two of us."Lily cleared up the pressure.

Some few days in a random organization in space and I have a love plot. Why has destiny given me a hard choice. To be honest, they both deserve me but I think it will only ruin their friendship.

"I don't know really, but I can give you both a weeks time to prove to me, if one of you deserves me or both of you,"Luke said but his statement seemed to only increase the fuel in this big fire.

From a distance, Lynn was already doen talking to Anna and came to see the scene before her. Thinking to herself, "Don't these two stop competing over one man." To be honest, their struggle was in the heat of action before Luke entered Onyx Corp.

When Lynn was one of first members in the team, she found these two girls competing over Marker. Ava tried to use aerial attacks( a.k.a verbal seduction ) to take over Marker, but Lily retailated by using search and destroy tactics ( a.k.a lets be somewhere private) to win over Marker. This made Marker to be in a dilemma and had one because he always wanted just one and no more.

But again another foe appears, Esther. With her, she saw an opportunity which the other two didn't see. She called it Alliance (a.k.a lets be friends and let things esclate from here.) which worked out. The other two girls saw this tactic effective to use but once they tried to use it, it failed terribly because of the previous incidents which spoilt the relationship between them and Marker. In short, Esther won over Marker.

The same thing happened for William when he was a newcomer but the ending was rather anticlimatic as he chose Ember. The reason behind it, even William couldn't reveal it, it was a secret. Apart from Elites, Ava and Lily have also competed over one of the senators in Universal Council. But unfortunately, their love triangle made the senator to get demoted because he lacked focus and missed most of the Council meetings.

To be more clear, these two girls have looking for love for a long, long time and they are wondering who will break this cycle of fighting over the same man. Lynn broke her chain of thought and saw the three were done talking and she decided to leave the hiding spot.

"Oh Lynn, you're back. . ."Luke scratched his head in confused as he thought how long their talk went on for.

"Before we leave, can we atleast get your contact info?"Lily asked without hesitation.

"Sure,"

The four left the armory with Luke sharing his contact info with the two troublesome girls. Aside from that, he felt tired because of the endless marching in the plain with the sun shining down at them.

Love story huh? System you seem to have bring down this curse upon but it seems like a blessing.

[ What are you talking? I did nothing. Besides I don't act on my own unless ordered by you ]

Uhrggg. . . anyways amma go sleep now
