" Oh!" Ernest said. "I see now! Its like those MMROPG...something something games those kids play, and I guess these are my allies."
He looked at the robots that looked more like the robots from I ROBOT, except meaner. They didn't even give him a glance. He heard the loud voice say again.
" Ten seconds before the enemy reaches the battle field!"
Duh. Not being sexist and all but wasn't it always a female that did the announcing. He was joisted back to reality as the robots moved out of the large base to the part way leading to what Ernest thought was the battle field.
As Ernest moved, totally unsure of where he was going , he found that his screen was lit up the whole time and that it had the objective of the game in it.
{[ PLAYER SYSTEM ]} "YOUR PATH IS THE EXP LANE."
Ernest looked quizzical. He looked around and there was no sign of the gold labe anywhere.
" I don't even know where that is?" He complained.
{[ PLAYER SYSTEM ]} " The RIGHT path!"
"The what?" Ernest asked looking more confused at both the screen and the three paths. Then realizing that the Path the system was talking about was not the Right path but the path on the right, he quickly ran towards it. It was like running on a one lane road with huge towers, that had some kind of huge guns on to of it, planted in the middle of the road and as far as he could see from where he was, there were two more.
He reached the second tower in a daze and started to slow down, he had never run this far before, his body actually. Resting on the tower he saw another surprise behind him.
Small robots that looked like they were 5'5 - almost his size - with different weapons in each hand walked in a straight line and passed him by. The one in from weild a sword, the one right behind him had a sword and a little round shield, the one behind had a bow and some arrows stack behind him and the last one was riding a large crossbow of some sort that shot out somewhat huge arrows.
Honestly! It couldn't get weirder. Ernest followed them and arrived at the last tower only to see other dwarf robot like his covered in red ( His was blue) and coming out from the path in front. In the place he stopped , or where the tower behind him stopped, there was a path way leading to his left and to his right a huge wall behind a long line of tall bushes that seemed to end a few yard in front of the tower that he was facing.
Before he could get an idea of how the map looked like. He felt something move towards him in such a flash, that without thinking he used his left had to block, which to him was a very bad decision because the thing he had booked had chopped of his left had with a giant axe.
Quickly distancing him self to get a glimpse of who wanted to kill him. He found out that it was not a who(he had expected it to be another player.) that a what. It was the same robot that he had as allies except this time they were just the same colour with the red small robots that were now fighting against his blue ones.
The robot attacked again swinging his axe wildly. Ernest covered his bloody hand and retreated back until he was leaning against the to were behind him. The moment the robot entered a specific distance closer to the tower, it shot.
Its shot, to be honest, felt more like a tank shot, or a hand grenade shut like a bullet. it was fast, precise and it made the floor rumble loudly like a they could feel the sound of thunder beneath their feet.
The robot was hit and was endorsed in the tower's mighty explosion, but that didn't stop it from getting closer. The robot swung its axe at Ernest who ducked and let it hit the tower before it received another hit from the tower again.
ANNOUNCER.
" OUR TURRET IS UNDER ATTACK!"
What was that?
What's a turret?
Ernest dodged again and his behind the current just as the third tower attack hit the robot who started moving slowly, rounding the corner to get to Ernest.
Seeing that its movement was not as fast as before, Ernest moved in and closed the gap between he and the robot just when it had brought back its axe for another attack. Then with a body slam that was followed with the tower last hit, the body of the robot blew up knocking Ernest back in the process.
ANNOUNCER>
" FIRST BLOOD."
"YOU HAVE SLAIN AN ENEMY!"
" AN ENEMY HAS BEEN SLAIN!"
" AN ALLY HAS BEEN SLAIN!"
" ENEMY DUAL KILL!!"
" THE ENEMY IS SAVAGERY!!!"
Ernest heard a sound from the path on the left that read to another place. Walking in an angle that would let him see what was going on. He saw one of his ally running toward him, this was the first robot that he saw so he remembered it. The way it ran looked like it was being chased down by something, but seriously, what could make a robot scared like that.
Before he could process any thought, he saw his robot ally, that was running towards him lose it's head in a second. The head rolled down to his feet and he heard the ANNOUNCER yell.
ANNOUNCER>
" ENEMY TRIPLE KILL!!!"
Wait did whatever just kill his robot ally kill two more before. The body of his ally fell to the ground to reveal a much terrifying red robot wit black oil stains that almost covered it's body and a chilling deathly aura that flooded out from its red glowing eyes while it twirled two long and curved daggers as it slowly approached Ernest.
That oil stain could have as well have being blood.
ANNOUNCER>
" ENEMY IS UNSTOPPABLE!!!"
HOLY SHIT!!
