The Crawford's Multiverse of Madness

Chapter 95 - Debut Of The Infiltrators

"So, after all the training there are some things I have to fill you guys in on," Zeel said to the group in a slightly reluctant manner. He would be lying if he said he didn't enjoy giving them the beat down over these couple of weeks.

Life had always been about survival for him since a very young age. It was only now that he felt a faint enjoyment from violence against others. Maybe Zeel's faculties were not all the way there, but this was at the very least progress.

"Another crazy experiment?" Alice asked, a bit tiredly with everyone else saying 'I'm out' in the background.

"No. Today we are going to recover Elizabeth's legacy chest. Those things hold great significance, though I cannot say exactly why yet, I'd be best if we have them on hand," Zeel said further emphasizing the importance of the Loric chests.

"When Alice and I rescued Hannu, we snagged the amulets the Mogadorians had at the time. Meaning we have amulets from three members of the Garde, Ella didn't get any. Marina has hers, John as well, so Elizabeth is the next step," Zeel mentioned, trying as much to not sound as if he was blaming Elizabeth for her carelessness.

"Agreed. If they open my chest, they can use it to track our movements or worst depending on what's inside. This is Lorien's last-minute desperation plan after all. For all we know there could be a bomb inside to end everything on Earth," Elizabeth said after great contemplation, genuinely afraid of what could be in the Loric chests.

People tend to do crazy stuff when they're on the verge of death, she couldn't imagine what Loriens would do when it was the death of not just themselves, but their entire species.

"Okay! Everyone should gather up and get their very own nanites-ring. It is made from Microglass and holds a limited deposit of nanites. It functions with specific gestures. If you push your hands out, the nanites will interpret it as a combat gesture, it then covers your body in a combat suit," Zeel mentioned, pulling up a hologram that demonstrated the exact gesture required to use the nanite-rings.

Of course, Elizabeth, Alice, and himself did not require any, since all essential technology on their bodies could be broken down and integrated into their Mbeamers.

After the introduction to their new gear, Zeel then briefed the group on their new mission target "All the mercenaries we have sent to this location have failed to report back. Now, this morning satellites flagged a large-scale movement near this base.

The Mogadorians are probably trying to relocate after getting information on the battle of Paradise Hills. So we have to move quickly and stealthily, keep in mind this can also be a trap so keep your trump cards for the last minute,"

Truthfully, Zeel was hoping someone would die so the others could work that much harder to get stronger. The truth of the matter was; everyone likes a good martyr. Alice was like a moral compass for Zeel, so he always found himself considering how she would feel about many of his actions before he would carry them out.

However, regardless of his considerations – old habits die hard, and Zeel could only compromise on certain things. Alice used to tell Zeel that she couldn't beat a black dog into a white one but she could keep one chained up.

Zeel did not take offense to Alice's snide remarks, since dogs in his Universe were exotic, 5th Dimensional beings of luxury. Even Alice's clone pods were not worth as much as 5th Dimensional talking dogs.

After everyone was geared up, the weaponry seen varied from Lorien blasters, antigravity boots, daggers, swords, and, for Ella, a shield. Zeel waved his hand as components from all over the room were drawn towards the group and with another wave, the components began reshaping and twisting into four mini rocket-like ships with one seat inside each.
