Metallic Rogue

Naming

Jayden felt his heart wrench. The thought of him losing Natalia made his soul scream in agony.

"I don't want to loose her."

[Who]

"Natalia."

[You won't]

The systems reply gave him strong hope and he immediately listened carefully.

[They are not guaranteed to join the other side]

[If you persuade them and bring them over to your side, you won't need to worry about them]

"So I just need to convince her not to join the Z Organization?"

[Basically]

"That's good to hear, you almost gave me a heart attack."

[Actually, you did have a heart attack, but the Creation Orb was able to cure it instantly]

Jayden once again resumed searching for shelter until it was dark.

After ten minutes of walking he said. "Hey, I think I can see better in the dark."

[It is the work of...]

"... the Creation Orb." Jayden completed the systems statement.

[The Creation Orb has strengthened you in many ways, that you don't even expect]

"Night Vision. Sounds nice."

"Finally." Jayden said as he finished checking the surroundings of a tree and the branches.

Jayden deactivated his Mech Suit and laid on a branch and looked at the dark sky filled with countless stars.

"One day, I'll travel around the universe and meet up with different races."

[You will eventually meet other races who try to one up us in Mech Suits]

As Jayden and the system were conversing, he heard the rustling of leaves in a tree just ahead of him. He activated his Mech Suit again and turned on the night vision goggles in his Mech Suit.

"I wish my personal night vision was better." Jayden commented.

[It will if you...]

"...cultivate the Creation orbs energy. Yeah, you've said that lots of times already."

Jayden jumped down and walked towards the tree carefully while checking it out. He made sure he wasn't too close so he could react swiftly of anything jumped out at him.

"There's nothing there." Jayden said as he scanned the tree again.

[There Is]

"What's there?"

[I won't tell you]

"C'mon do you want me to die?"

[You won't]

The systems words had put him on the edge, he became tensed even though the system said he won't die. The system wasn't all knowing after all.

Jayden watched and soon heard another rustle behind him with some leaves falling from the tree. He immediately turned around and looked to find the culprit.

And then right from his back, from the first tree to have rustled. A black one meter long beast with dark red eyes, pounced on him.

Jayden fell over and was prepared to kill the perpetrator, but he soon realized the beast wasn't attacking him with it's paws or fangs, but with it's tongue. Jayden turned around and soon felt the thing licking his face. He was shocked and didn't know what to say.
