Chapter 74 : Not a short journey Part 3 - Never Ending Plains.
After the registration for the Exploration Journey, Zergirion and Bverxkka walk towards the Reunion Area, passing nearby the Milkshake establishment.
—The Milk me Girl is not here; Comments the Playboy and the Apex agrees —Indeed, i would like to have another milkshake from her, they are extremely nutritious.
—Oh, you taste it right from the source?!; Inquire expectantly Zergirion.
Marshack negates the event —Unfortunately i did not, but she indeed produced the Milk, Onice and Myself drink a couple of jars, stopping only because i had to punish her and then purge Persea's Pheromones out of her body, she could do it on her own, but is unaware of how.
—That is pretty common you know; Said the Playboy with a stiff stance and a nostalgic voice filled with grievance, abnormal of his playful and easygoing behavior »—For what i read and have seen on my life, the First Standard Century of a Species that contacts the next great step in the course of development …
»—Either Technological or related to Evolution, is really hard and harsh, they are oblivious of everything and anyone can take advantage of it, or worst …
His voice becomes more serious and aggressive »—They observe from far away, about a subject or threat no one knew before, and just watch motionless without the courage to face or at least warn of such dangers …
—Mistakes occur … ; Acknowledge Marshack, remembering his own failures, one of them not to long ago »—We have to deal with the consequences and procure they don't happen again …
—It is not possible, accidents always are present; Said Zergirion with consciousness, just to have a detached voice »—To bad, on certain occasions are provoked intentionally, orchestrated with scrutiny to be displayed in front of everyone so they remain unaware of the overall situation …
—Indeed … ; Agrees the Apex, having his stoic demeanor again »—How much longer do you plan to keep eavesdropping Onice?.
—I am here too Bverxkka!; Exclaim Oxxana with displeasure, but being ignored by the Hûrngöth.
—It wasn't on purpose Bverxkka; Shyness evident on Thalia's beautiful face »—And Narae is with me.
—Oh!, i didn't hear her.
—As you didn't hear me knocking the door for 40 Standard Minutes?!; Retorts angrily Oxxana, who is ignored again by the Apex.
Zergirion laughs at the Síler and asks —Why are you two here?.
—We are participating on the Exploration Journey; Replied Thalia »—With Persea and her Friend, is the one i mention before Bverxkka.
The Fof'blir cross her sight with Marshack's eyes and gets quite meek, immediately recalling the intimate encouter they have a few hours ago.
Before the situation gets awkward, the Playboy intercede —In what Batch are you?.
—Eighth, as the others of our Group, Viukane and Venator; Said Oxxana.
—Good, we are on the Seventh Batch, so see you tomorrow, our departure is in a couple of Standard Minutes, let's hurry up Bverxkka.
—Indeed, be careful Onice … , you too Narae.
Zergirion and Marshack head to the Reunion Area, where the Seventh Batch is waiting for the last six integrants of the group, not counting the arriving pair.
—You rock her world, Bverxkka; Commented proudly the Playboy.
—I am aware of it Shlõvthy, but "I" have the impression that it is only a superficial attraction due to her inexperience with pleasure, or how exotic i look to her.
—I am not going to lie, could be the case, i saw this happened a few ten's of thousand times, so don't discard the possibility, still, you should take the opportunity.
—That depends on her; Nonchalantly said the Apex.
—Son of a Bitch!, you are testing Onice!; Remarks Zergirion »—That is clever, don't get dissapointed with the result.
—I get dissapointed with Myself, not with others; Confess Marshack »—She is too malleable, "I" cannot have a Partner like that, but if she realizes this, maybe …
—READY?, ADVANCE AND CROSS THE HEXXAL!.
Scream a rugged female voice, interrupting Marshack, and commanding the 80 members of the Seventh Batch without counting the other nine Students of Öfthênjör Åcademy.
—See you in the other side; Said the Playboy and Marshack nods, both of them passing through the Hexxal with other eight Entities surrounded by a Gravity Bubble.
The travel lasts eleven seconds before they reach their destination, a Watchtower with a Nexus, but this one doesn't have a Loop.
Everybody jumps into the Nexus, entering NEP, the Layer of Never Ending Plains.
A bright silver sky receive the Seventh Batch, under them is the view of the ground, which is filled with tall green grass until allows the sight.
Still, Marshack doesn't comprehend how is possible to have light up the Layers without a Start.
However, even if everything turned dark, as it is going to happen in a few Standard Hours, this would remain irrelevant for the Apex, after all, he doesn't need light as a factor to see, thanks to the [Bicromy] that is becoming [Tricromy].
{I can't see further away than 19 Vulq (95 km) of distance, or what is below the ground, is this Layer the responsible?, or is something else?}.
Having this uncertainty, the Apex accelerates his descent, being the first to land, absorbing the Kinetic Energy of the impact to redirect its purpose into a wave of Noninvasive Kinetic Energy, mapping everything in the surroundings.
There is a large underground web of tunnels that reaches and weakened the surface stability.
The Apex did not break the earth and sink into it because he is used to carrying most of his mass without depending on the materials of the environments, they are too weak to support him on their own.
*—Deviate your course, the stability of this area is compromised with a primitive web of tunnels.*
Marshack warning with the Slaidt is taken seriously only by a handful of Individuals including Zergirion.
Seconds later, the Batch lands, a third of them pierce the ground and get stuck on the surface, others enter in the tunnels and less than 6 lands safely on the surface.
The Apex can't see what occurs to those members of the Batch that are underground, is like a black void curtain negating his capacity to observe the other side.
The next moment, he sends another wave of Noninvasive Kinetic Energy, analyze the feedback information.
Two deaths, five Entities with one or both legs broken, fourteen Individuals slightly injured with bruises and the incoming trepidation of some vibrations, signaling the advent of unknown Creatures.
{The Gravity on this Layer is quite high, in comparison to the majority of other locations i have been before, of course omitting the Homeworld of the D'Kin, "El Camino" and my own Planet, this location has 1/45 of Hûlfhednär's Gravity Force, which undoubtedly is a challenge for some Entities of this Batch, and that was before they were hurt with the fall}.
*—I have seen this type of tunnels before;* Communicate Zergirion with seriousness *»—The Wölfznsatch use them to trap and confuse their Preys.*
*—Quickly, carry the injured and head to our destination.*
The female voice commands on the Integrants of the Seventh Batch obey, assisting the others and start running alongside the rest of the Batch, heading to the closest designated location to stablish a temporary Outpost for the Batches Eighth and Ninth.
Getting near the designated territory for the Outpost, the Female Leader locate a group of enemies far away, and stops the advancement of the Group.
*»—Prepare to battle, we have an Avizjiel Outpost at the front and Wölfznsatch on our back, Welcome to the Never Ending Plains!.*
