SUPREMEO Vol.I: Trials Of The Machine King

Chapter IV: Kapurma

1 hour later

Zachary: Feels like we've been walking forever! When are we close to seeing this wise one?

Diwata: Not too long were almost there.

Zachary: I don't understand why we couldn't bring the airship to this destination? It could've saved us a lot of walking time.

Elias: You know any place here that offers fuel? Plus when going deeper into this place I wouldn't want to fly anywhere near this air space.

Zachary: Why's that??..

Elias: Hard to explain. Maybe if you'll just wait and see something will pop up.

20 minutes later a loud screech can be herd through the skies. Zachary's eyes widen. Elias and Victor take a defensive posture. Zachary yells, "Is that a F@kin dinosaur!? This is what you mean!?" Elias taps his earpiece to send out 2 aiutu's and explains to Zachary, "Those are razhdarchidae they're considered to be the largest flying creatures to ever exist." Ryan, Sarah and Zachary Equip their high tech swords and Zach says, "Well whatever they are it looks like were on the menu!" Just then as the soldiers get ready to attack Victor yells, "STOP! Let Elias handle it!" The soldiers listen to their leader. Victor further explains. "This ones just a kid. The real problems with the adults. They pretty much are the Apex predators when they touch down on land or are in the air. It's another reason we couldn't fly to our destination. It would've been hell on the ship if we had to fight this guy on it. The adult also could be near by watching its kid earn its adulthood through hunting. Instead of killing it we should lure it away."

Elias tells the crew, "I'll lead it away with these two aiutus. Then we can continue." Elias navigates 1 aiutu away from the crew then rams the other into the razhdarchidae's back and causes it to chase the robot that just hit it. The two aiutus keep sticking and moving while the crew stays on their path. Zachary is still looking to the skies and holding on to his sword nervously. Richard has a talk with Victor.

Richard: Hey Victor not that I'm one to talk when the conversation is about strength, but that Zachary guys a little too jumpy at everything don't you think?

Victor: Ah you think he's scared don't ya?

Richard: No I didn't!..

Victor: Relax kid. I know he gives that vibe off and you just wanna know are you okay around a soldier like him. Zach's fear gets mistaken for what's really determination.

Richard: Determination for what?

Victor: To protect...

Victor: Earlier when he was complaining about walking. It wasn't because his feet hurt or anything like that. It's because people trip and sprain ankles. Then run into bears. Or in our case a dinosaur. He thinks of every and any possible way the mission can go wrong and why we should turn back around. It's a toxic trait of his I'm trying to fix. But boy oh boy when someone he feels he's entrusted to protect gets harmed I'd hate to be on the other side of his anger. That includes me.

Richard: Wow! I'm sorry I said anything.

Victor: Don't worry Richard. Everyone here on this mission has a purpose. And I believe we call can pull this off.

Richard: Even me? What's my purpose?

Victor: You? You're the piolet and driver, not just any piolet or driver either. You're the best. I didn't call you here just because you're my best friend's daughter's fiancé If we run into trouble in the air or on land you can navigate us out of it better than anyone else.

Richard says with a smile, "Great wish you stuck a car on the airship."

Victor: Haha! Now you're sounding like Zach.
