Metallic Rogue

Blood Contract

Unbeknownst to Jayden, he had just caused a myriad of emotions to spread among the races, while some saw him as a rival that will keep them on their toes, others saw him as beast that might reap their lives anytime.

Jayden waited as the hologram calculated his marks, he didn't wait for long before the hologram showed him

<EXCELLENT>

Jayden smiled and walked out of the room under the crazed gazes of the Cyclops and Golem Centaurs and the terrified Ustapians. Jayden gave them a single glance before minding his own business and following the directions given to him by the hologram.

Jayden found himself in front of a door that had the marks §μ'f∆ written on it. Jayden rememberrd the hologram telling him to knock the door four times before kicking it after three seconds.

Jayden did as told, as soon as the door was kicked, it swung wide open, Jayden felt himself being pulled by a strong force into the room before the door was jammed with a loud bang.

Jayden didn't feel alarmed by the happenings, he had been told already what to expect. And just like he was told, he found himself in a room filled with... nothing.

There was nothing in the room all around, Jayden thought that he had entered the wrong place, but he soon remembered that the password had worked. Or was the same password for all the rooms. His mind was spamming ideas and ways to figure out what was going on.

[I think you have been placed under an Illusion Jayden]

'How so?'

[I am not certain, but it seems like there is someone with Illusion powers in here, or there is a mechanism that prevents you from seeing anything in the room]

[Try to use your Illusion Energy to cover your body, especially your eyes]

Jayden listened to Nahshon and controlled his illusion energy just like Nahshon told him to, it wasn't easy to do so, he was not as proficient in controlling it like normal energy, but he still ended up releasing the Illusion energy out of his body in a five centimeters radius.

'This is as much as I can do Nahshon'

[That's good enough]

[Open your eyes slowly]

Jayden slowly opened his eyes while trying his best not to loose control of the Illusion Energy around his body.

As Jayden opened his eyes, his heart almost leaped out of his chest in fright.

Right in front of him was a tentacled creature, it had hundreds of tentacles squirming beneath it to keep it standing and two of those tentacles touching and rubbing his body in weird and creepy ways that made him shudder.

The creature had the looks of an octopus, this creature though was a dark red with the tips of its tentacles having a dark black shade to it.

It had round cloudy eyes that looked like they were about to pop out, it's nose was non-existent and it's lips were wide and fat as if they were glued by a child.

"I think you've had enough of touching and rubbing." Jayden said disgusted by the creatures assault. If it wasn't for the creatures position in the power hierarchy, he would have wasted no time in beating the shit out of it.

The creature stopped instantly as one of its tentacles was about to reach Jayden's groin.

The creature took a step back and scrutinized Jayden.

"You can see me?!!"

"Of course I can see you, who did you think I was referring to?" Jayden replied a bit annoyed. 'This Garrion's a creep.'

The Garrion took more steps back before covering its face with some tentacles while moving its tentacle legs back and forth like a girl that was embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I was just curious by your looks, I haven't seen a human with this kind of Mech Suit before."

Jayden frowned at that statement, the Garrions voice sounded slightly muddled for some reason as it spoke with it large liped mouth. But that didn't bother Jayden, the Garrion suddenly bowed in a weird way and said with some of its the tentacles clasped together.

"Please don't report me to my superiors, I just got this job and I don't want to loose it, this is my only means of survival. My sister is sick and needs to be treated as soon as possible and this is my only way to save her. I'm sorry if I've angered you in anyway dear Sir, I hope you don't take my misdeeds to heart." The Garrion said with muddled voice.

Jayden stared with interest at the Garrion talking with fear. 'He sure is an oddball, perhaps he isn't that experienced in this job, that's why he was acting strangely.'

The silence that ensued in the room made the Garrion more nervous, he didn't raise his head and just waited for Jaydens reply.

"Relax, I'll pretend like this never happened in the first place..."

"Ohh thank you very much Sir." The Garrion raised his head with a large scary smile on his face, at first, he thought he was done for, he had heard rumors about the greedy nature of the human rcae, how they took advantage of every situation thrown at them and turning it around in their favor. Alas, he rejoiced too soon and his thoughts about the human race resurfaced.

"....under one condition." Jayden said with a large smile –more scary than anything ever seen– hidden behind his Rogue Suit.

"Wh..Wha.....What do you need me to do... Sir." The Garrion asked with a forced smile on his face. He was beyond terrified about what the human before him was going to ask for.

"Sign a Blood Contract and work for me." The Garrion felt his pride being trampled upon at that statement.

The Garrions were a prideful race, they saw themselves as better that the other races in the universe, and true, they were better than most of them, their knowledge was vast and had centuries of experience backing them, their existence dated to millions of years ago and still counting and they had what other races didn't have which further boosted their pride.

Now seeing a race with barely a millennium of living, offering him a Blood Contract like it was nothing, made his blood boil. 

The Garrion had made a big mistake by telling Jayden about his situation, but Jayden didn't care, he was going to use this Garrion to get the materials needed for Nate's survival.

The Garrion was being pulled from two ends, his rational mind was telling him to accept Jayden's offer and get the chance to save his sister, while his pride was telling him to do otherwise to save face.

'What's the use of having my pride if I can't see my sister again. Her life is more important than my feelings.' The image of his sister flashed through his mind, and with a loud sigh he accepted.

"I accept, I'll sign the Blood Contract."
