three weeks later I woke up in my room on the ship I grumbled hearing Drake voice Master your elder Star, Calypso and your grandmother are asking to be let in I side and rolled out of my pink hammock that was hanging from one of the other mecha bays let them in I yond as I stretched my body I heard the door open and I seen the three women walk on Star in a purple and gold robe wall my grandmother was in a bright dark red and orange robe and lastly Calypso had on a dark blue robe all three women looked absolutely stunning ones more there weapons and a bit of there armor mixed well with each outfit they all looked around looking for me but I simply leaned back on my hammock saying what do I owe the pleasure of seeing you three beauties this find morning that's when they stopped and looked up next to the bay next to Drake my grandmother saying Hunter don't tell me you're in that I chuckled and rolled out of it Calypso yelped seeing me plummet to the ground but elder star and my grandmother didn't react I landed on the ground my knees bearly buckling I stood up shrugging I assume that answered your question my grandmother nodded yes but where is your clothes I looked down at my half naked body the only thing I had on was a set of red and black underwear that was it I shrugged scratching my chest as I looked up to my grandmother who I could tell had words to say but she was trying not to say them I shrugged saying hi you walked into my room at this time of hour do not blame me if yall was impatient I seen my grandmothers hands curl into fists wall the side of her eyes twitched with irritation but in a cold neutral voice she spoke Hunter James Dragny you best put some clothes on and mind your manors before I knock your teeth out I felt a cold feeling go down my spine as I looked into those old wide powerful cold eyes I quickly nodded saying yes mam with that I turned around and rushed to a dresser that was placed in the back on this bay next to this dresser was a armor stand that supported my full set of upgraded armor I quickly pulled on a set of black pants and a long-sleeved black and gold shirt plus my black lace up boots as I finished tying my boots I stood up and walked in front of my armor it looked exactly the same as it did before or the outside did but as I put on my chest plate a black flexible but very durable shirt spread and seal on my body under my armor this covered my hole chest shoulder and even my throat area best part it spread under my clothes so not even the three women behind me could tell it was there unless I told them what to look for which I did I then pulled on my gauntlets the moment I did they sort of merged with my metal arms hell at this point both of my arms was my gauntlets with how much shit I could hide in them but I kept with my grandfather's gauntlet do to the fact they was practical I then improved and upgraded it with my arm next was my leg bracers and just like the chest plate the moment these was put on that black thin chain mail like material covered my lower body and merged with the upper body material I side at the familiar feeling as I clinched my fists and leg muscles this was my new nanotech armor it was still in the beginning faze so I couldn't hide the hole armor in a necklace or something even so this armor greatly improved not only my defenses but my bodies power sadly this didn't do much for me sense I was already a beast of a person but for people that didn't have my high system scores and serpent drake blood this armor could make even infantry dent thick steal plus the suit had its own power supply so it could charge weapons, shields and other such things I of course sent a model to Lotis so she can start upgrading everyone armor I decided the clones armor was going to be the basic armor decision for my company that mixed with a small bit of leviathan tech like jetpacks and gauntlets i nodded at the finish result I then quickly pulled on my belt then grabbed my helmet as I turned around the three elders was sitting on the couches but there was 4 new people sitting with then I walked forward looking over Ziva, Tera, Heavy and Cortana sitting peacefully with the elders sipping tea I walked forward and sat down at the chair at the head of the small table I looked to my grandmother who was happily sipping from a teacup so grandma what was so important that you had to summon these four she put down her tea cup before looking towards me with a studying gaze I simply looked into her eyes with a neutral expression we sat in silence for what seemed like hours do to my grandma intense studying gaze but when reality it was only a few minutes but when she realised I wasn't backing down she side and leaned back on the coach and crossed her legs in a more comfortable position before she spoke Well Hunter you see Calypso and I have been discussing about your wedding this of course load us into both factions believes and cultures and wall the Amazons believes are a bit strange Calypso scoffed and I heard her mumble says you but my grandmother payed her no mind there's is strange yes but there is plenty of spots where our believe overlap for example in both of our cultures a person must be considered a adult before they can one can marry in the Amazon culture one is considered an adult one they complete a battle alongside there sisters wall our people believe that if your old enough to join a war your old enough to drink and marry so your good there Elder Star giggled definitely clear on our side the lad was practically born on the battlefield wall Calypso side shrugging the lad killed a Hades champion like it was a walk in the park in front a lot of my daughters my grandmother nodded so you defiantly qualify to be a adult in both cultures so we get to the wedding plans this is where it gets tricky my grandmother then looked to Calypso to explain Calypso side shrugging and looked towards me saying in my culture the two who wish to be married must go on a hunt together where they both must bring back a beast that the individual killed and whoever beast is the strongest is seen as the head of the house we then make forge your wedding apparel from the beasts you killed O goody a challenge I said looking towards Ziva which a huge fanged grin she grinned back at me and winked but my head looked towards Calypso who apparently wasn't done she hesitated to continue seeing my intense gaze but she side But the two lovers can only be on foot with no armor nor ranged weaponry if you us any blasters or other such things the wedding will be cursed with misfortune called off but if you bring back a strong beast this shows yalls bond will weather whatever the gods throw at you so and she looked towards me with a worried expression do you Hunter James Dragny still wish to go through this marriage even though you will have to put your life on the line for it I stared at her with a cold expression I then slowly turned my head to look at Ziva she was bitting her bottom lip and looking down at her hands that I noticed she had her fingers crossed I could tell she was worried anyone could just at a glance I placed my helmet on the table and pushed it in front of her slowly after I did she slowly raised her head to look at it this calmed her down and I seen a smile spread across her face I then turned to Calypso who had a hopefully expecting gaze a huge predatory smile spread across my face as I spoke in a confident powerful voice try and fucking stop me Yesssss! Tera shot up out of her chair raising her hand to the air like it was her wedding we was talking about she then through herself at Ziva crushing her in a bear hug as she yelled my little sis is getting married hahahaha Calypso let out a happy sy as she did you could practical see the years of stress disappear from her face thank gods I heard her mumble I then looked to my grandmother who had a conflicted expression when she seen my gaze she side damn it lad I figured that was going to be your answer but still damn it I chuckled what the big deal grandmother she looked towards Heavy who had a small smile on his face but ones he seen my grandmother look towards him he side and looked towards me saying cuz Hunter do you know the steps to finish your time as my apprentice I shook my head no elder brother what are they he side before chuckling
First is combat training- this all depends on the master some only go with basic training and call it good some shoot for the middle I chuckled shrugging then there is you someone who puts them through hell so they come out stronger he nodded correct
Second is customising your own mecha- most apprentices steal or buy their own mecha this is so they have to get to know how to work on there mech only a rare few are given a mecha from there family and a rarer few fully rebuilds and updates there mecha you brother are one of the very rare few I nodded
Third is combat experience - being able to not only execute orders but able to lead and command over troops that's what means to be a leviathan we are all warriors and damn good ones to I side that's y you had Copper put me in charge I figured that was a test but god damn brother he chuckled
Forth Is gaining some infamy as both a warrior and a mecha pilot- us leviathans are legions to many a scary bedtime story that keeps our enemies up at night so each individual leviathan must gain some infamy in some way I chuckled I think I definitely gained that he nodded
Fifth is gaining your bestial insignia - this is a test all leviathan go through at some point in time you have seen heads of beasts on helmets and emblems on some leviathan right I nodded correct he smiled a smile that wasnt a smile well those are the beasts that represents a leviathan dark side a leviathan goes out on a solo hunt where they will let there emotions and feelings giuide them to a location where they will find there beast ones you find your beast you must do battle with it with only the clothes on your back and the weapons you have this is the one your grandmother wanted me to explain cuz the three of us and he pointed at Star, Cortana and himself think your ready for this test yall lightning mother disagrees with us it is your choice brother but think about it till I am done I nodded
Sixty is building your own mecha - you don't got to worry about this one
Seventh is building forming your own crow to doing business for the tribe- this is where most apprentices start to branch away from there master and start making there own choices
And lastly eighth if one is gifted with the gift of the galaxy - you will be lead to the location where all our saber crystals come from ones you make planet fall your on your own
He took a long sip from his teacup before looking to me shrugging as you have already guessed one doesn't have to go in order it's all up to the master so little brother I am giving you the choice do you believe your ready for the fifth test I looked towards him my hand clenching and my huge predatory smile was back brother I was born ready besides this is knocking two birds out with one stone but this is when my grandmother slammed a hand into the table and as growled I do not approve of this he isn't ready he is still young as she growled bright blue lightning bolts sparked around her but Heavy didn't react to the lightning sparking around him he simply took a drink from his cup before comply saying he is my apprentice and I gave him the choice and he has made it ma I will stand beside it she snarled at him the moment she did the teacup that was in heavy hand shattered do to a small lightning bolt striking it but there was no tea left in it my grandmother then hissed come on Heavy the lad is impressive yes but it hasn't even been one year sense he became your apprentices just look at the girl Helga who started at the same time as but this is when Heavy thick fist slammed into the table braking it he then rounded on my grandmother his normal cold stone expression was nowhere to be seen what was on his face was peer unbridled rage that he was just able to keep restrained but his next words was cold and seaved with venom don't you dare compare my little brother with that girl who dated a draggion spy that girl is lazy and weak she hasn't even attempted to aid in this war unlike my little brother she hasn't fought for her life she hasn't shed bleed for her brother and sisters in arms she hasn't seen her allies die in front of her hell even know she stays locked in her room crying and feeling sorry for her self my little brother showed her the truth compared to that girl my brother is a leviathan and he is becoming one of the best of us sense the moment I took him as my apprentice and we left Nigrna I have pushed my little brother to his limits I trained him to the bone then we trained some more I put him through hell and yet he never complained he just pushed through the pain and ones joined the war this boy first drop was sabotaged he was lucky enough to survive it but did he complain no he simply charged at the sun dog fucks he even killed dualed three star general and he came out on top and ones the draggion appeared a position of leadership was thrust upon him but did he complain or try and run way from the draggion hell no he took command and lead his troops damn well and when he was surrounded and outnumbered by the sun dogs and draggion mecha all my little brother did was grin and charge at his enemies fuck he even killed a unit of the sun dogs leviathan hunters the boy has proven over and over again what he was worth to this tribe that he has brot honor to he has even sacrificed both of his arms for the tribe and yet you dare and compare him to others ones more you still dare to doubt him and you thought no one was going to call you out on it well fuck that I will not allow you to disrespect my apprentice no my brother like that he has earned all the respect we show him so and he looked towards me his eyes burning and his face was red with anger you little brother will go out and fifth test and you will comeback to us alive so not only to show your grandmother that you can do it and so we can have one kick as wedding for you am I understood I shot up onto my feet and slammed a fist over my heart yelling yes sir this is our way Star, Cortana and even my grandmother got onto there feet before they all slammed a hand to there chest saying this is our way I looked towards Ziva who was shaking from anticipation but she flashed me a beautiful smiled at me I chuckled and in a fast movement I had nothing on but my belt that just had my sabers and chainsaw dagger on it and pants Tera yelped seeing my heavily scared body I flexed my muscles as I stretched my back when I looked forward both Ziva and Tera was practically drooling wall they looked towards my chiseled chest I chuckled and flecked my arms saying you see something you like ladies both women blushed at my actions I chuckled shaking my head before looking towards Ziva again you ready this seemed to snap her out of her day dreaming huh what you say Hunter I chuckled are you ready her face want pale as she shot up meet at the gate in 5 minutes with that she quickly ran out of the room I chuckled and looked towards Heavy who looked like he had calmed down with Cortana's help you owe me another table brother he looked up to me and smiled that was all I shrugged waving my hand when I did all my equipment shot to the armor stand I then headed towards the door but as I walked by a peace of heavy mecha armor I turned around growling yow grandma she looked towards me with a confused face I then spun around and through a punch into this peace of steal a load boom noise range through the room and where I struck had smoke rolling off it but there was a visible fist indent I walked past it but as I did my shark claws extended out and I left 5 deep claw lines as I walked around the piece a load screeching noise range out as I did when I got to the door I glanced back to see my grandma dumbfounded expression but it wasnt her both Tera and Calypso had similar reactions I grinned at my good work as I walked out .
