"Hmmm! I see another visitor has come. May we give him a warm welcome?" Gun calmly said.
Heavy footsteps can be heard while the intruder enters the nautilus. A loud shrieking sound coming from the intruder can be heard it is as if it wasn't human but a beast.
"Stay on guard Gun!" Aril replied as they are getting close to were the intruder is heading. The closer the get to were the intruder was, the louder the shrieking gets. Then they heard the intruder said "I can smell you woman!" With a weird distorted voice.
"Gun protect me! I'll shoot that bastard down!" Aril then sprung out of the back of the intruder and shoots the intruder from behind. The intruder then laughs hysterically. when the smoke was lifted over a tall bulky monster that has skull mask and a hood wielding a super long scythe appeared it's as if the monster was stitched together. "Puny human! Your mere bullets can't kill me! I'm invincible! I will be a God to you! I am Dage!" After hearing Dage's words Aril then called Gun to aid her for help. But for a minute Gun did not respond.
Dage then laugh " hah! The one you must be calling to crawled back to it's room like a scaredy cat!" As he was mocking Gun. He than walks slowly towards Aril while Aril only stood there.
"What is wrong? Given up already?" Dage asked as he gets closer to Aril, he then lifted up his scythe to kill Aril. "This is boring! Die then!" As Dage was about to swing his scythe, he suddenly paused for he saw Aril's face. It was not a face that felt fear but she was smiling confidently as if she won.
Dage suddenly felt someone behind him, a presence far more superior than him. He then immediately swung his scythe in order to hit the presence that is behind him. He saw Gun's face close to his, Gun caught the blade of his scythe with only his hand. Surprised by his presence he then jumps away from Gun. "What the heck? Who are you?!" Dage asked.
Gun then smiled and said " I am Gun." Dage immediately dashes forward "your dead!" He said while swinging the scythe to slash Gun . Gun then changed his hands and legs back to those hard exoskeleton armor. He then shatters the blade by punching it. A fire then started to ignite from his calf, ankle and heel, then he spins and delivered a devastating kick to Dage's head. Sending Dage crashing to the walls and unconscious. Then Gun carried Aril and ran to get out. While on the way of to the exit " there are only 4 ships that are outside and seems that they tend to only send a small amount of units. This may be our chance to escape."
"Where did you learn to talk like that?" Aril replied.
"The moment I went outside the nautilus observer, I received a lot of new information. It is like the world poured all it's acquired knowledge to my mind." Gun said.
And while they were running from the exit. Aril couldn't stop staring at Gun. "You sound more normal now Gun! Hehe!" She said nervously. Gun noticed that she was still staring and said: " what? Are you okay Aril? Were you wounded somewhere? Tell me Aril!"
"Waaah! No! N-Nothing!!" Aril then quickly looked away. "(What the heck! What is happening to me !?)" she then clears her throat " let's get out of here!" She said being a little bit embarrassed. As soon as they got out Dage was there waiting for them.
