Tigris galaxy ,
Double Embers star system ,
Double Embers planet ,
With humanity's rapid technological improvements, our expansion into the greater cosmos was already a done gig, the invasion of the Varkens and their eventual conquest of the only served to hasten the process .
After we conquered the Varkens ,we entered a period of fast paced progression ; we were able to conquer various star systems and galaxies all thanks to the enormous database left behind in the Varkens mothership.
They tried detonating the ship but we were able to prevent that at the end of the day , thus gaining a literal cosmic level treasure map !
This Double Embers planet was one of the the first sets of planets colonized by the Cosmic Fleet Alliance . It was owned by the Kromonovs , one of those galactic aristocratic families .
Initially a small business family , their first patriarch's achievements during the early days of humanity's space exploration enabled them to make a name for themselves and get to where they where today .
Now after a hundred and fifty years of development you could say that they were now one of those families whose single stomp could cause ripples in the political and business front of the Cosmic Earth Alliance.
On the main continent of Double Embers ,there was this mind blogging huge tower . This tower was the Kromonovs residence .
It was mind blogging in the sense that the tower actually extended out of the planet's atmosphere !
You could literally touch the sky with your fingers !
Moreover remember you had to keep in mind that the planet's size already exceeded the largest planet in the solar system i.e Jupiter by at least a magnitude .
In a room at the top floor, a young lady in a spandex training suit which accentuated her curves gracefully could be seen watching the recording of a CMA gameplay on a large screen . The room was vast yet empty , except for the numerous high end VR pods mounted against the walls which made it seem even more desolate .
Taking a proper look at her lithe figure and innocent blue eyes you would be mistaken into believing that she was just an ordinary beautiful young lady , however those blue eyes gave off a cold and calculating machine like feeling which was enough to give anyone a shiver down their spine .
She was Sharmaine Kromonov , the only female child among the three children of patriarch Reginald Kromonov who was the current and third patriarch if the Kromonov family .
Standing next to her was a middle aged man dressed in a butler's attire who was also staring at the recording with rapt attention.
A second look at the on going game recording and you would notice that the game recording was actually the same as that of the Borderlands map campaign Dongfan Yue and Pang Pengyou partook in .
Completing the game playback Sharmaine asked the butler ;
"Uncle Alfred ,what do you think of this match ?"
Even though she was from a powerful family Sharmaine never let it delude her into misleading fantasies.
" Well , milady from what I can observe your performance was as spectacular as usual , the only thing that drew you and your other two partners back was the lack of familiarity with piloting mech's in such harsh scenarios.
A specially tailored training plan in that aspect will surely rectify that . "
Surprisingly Sharmaine was actually Starfire !
" I know uncle Alfred but that was not what I meant , now take a look at this scene . "
Rewinding the game clip back to the scene where the two Grausers decided to stop running and fight back she released the rewind button allowing it to play at normal speed.
" Now watch this scene ."
In the scene it could clearly be seen that the two Grausers were already surrounded by the aboriginals till they were backing each other , it looked like in just a few moment the two mechs would be torn into shreds.
"Milady ,there is nothing going on here it's just two mech's that are about to be destroyed , even though they managed to survive and snatch the last kills from you , there's nothing really spectacular about these two mechs ."
" Oh you just wait ,you would soon see what I meant , am sure you would be as shocked as I was ."
Continuing the game clip from where she paused it showed the two Grausers gearing up for a seemingly futile resistance .
With a snarl the aboriginals initiated their attacks lunging forward towards the two mechs , setting their hand cannons to automatic fire they also attacked back though it was not looking like it actually did anything.
At that moment everything just came to a stand still ,just like they paused the game .
"Milady , did you pause the game ?" asked Alfred.
" Oh no I didn't ,we are just getting to the most intriguing part now ."
" Intriguing part ? I can't see any movement on the scre....My GOODNESS ! ,what happened just now , was it a glitch in the system ?"
With a somewhat suprised look Alfred exclaimed .
At this point the game changed to a scene where the two Grausers simultaneously pulled out their plasma swords out of the skull of the last two beasts .
Actually though he looked like a middle aged man Alfred was already more than a century old , being an ability user however granted him a lifespan longer than normal thus his middle-aged appearance . In all his years he could confidently say that there was nothing strange that he hadn't seen but this , this was unbelievable.
" This is simply in unbelievable,if any other person showed me this I would chase them
away . "
" So what can you say about this , uncle Alfred ?"
" From what I have observed that should be a soul or mental ability , right ?"
" You are definitely on point , furthermore if you look well enough you will discover that it seems like the ground was slammed with a huge hammer as you can observe from the crushed bodies of some of those beasts, now look at this other scene where they fought with the last three mechs , you would notice that the three mechs froze without being able to move till they were crushed by the other mech , look closely and you will notice a faint phantom of a pagoda slamming upon them , it was a clean kill. Based on what I have seen my conclusion is that they are at least supreme grade or nearly supreme grade talents."
" Wow , as expected of milady , that's why the patriarch dotes on you , your reasoning and deduction have always been top notch , so what are you planning to do now ?"
With a gentle smile she replied while standing up ;
" Uncle Alfred don't you think that a the Alliance has been too calm lately ?"
" What do you mean ?"
Going for the door she replied while giving a chuckle ;
" A great show is imminent uncle Alfred , knowing the actors before it premiers makes it even more enjoyable don't you think ?
