“Hey Nebel-sama!” Mitchell says having jumped into the room where Nebel was peacefully reading through one of the library’s many books. “Check it out!”

Mitchell had spent the whole day walking through town, seeing the sites, of which there were many, meetings people, there were too many of these… tasting some of their local cuisine, there wasn’t enough of this… but most of that time was spent in shops looking for just the right clothes for adventure!

And she was sure she had found it! Her thin physic had a completely new look, gone were her beginning clothes, which had been nearly shredded by all manner of attacks, instead she wore brand new jean shorts and a shortened tank top that ended just under her breasts, on top of these she had a leather pauldron that extended across her left breast and was held in place by a leather strap that went all the way around her chest under her arm and up her back, a light leather jacket to protect her exposed stomach a bit, leather gauntlets studded with steel on the knuckles and Leather boots that reached all the way up to her thighs.

All in all she looked just like the game version of an adventurer… or maybe a bandit, if bandits were cute innocent looking girls instead of the guys that violate them…

“So Nebel what do you think?” She says standing in a pose with her shield raised, ready to take any impact!

Nebel turns away from his book for a moment to look her up and down. “Hmm, pretty good flexibility, protection if you shield rebounds… pretty good.” he says to her making her face palm herself.

“No no no Nebel! I meant how does it look? Do you like it… as in is it cute?” she says slightly peeved… she wasn’t going through that again!

“Yeah it’s pretty cute on you, it’s nearly just your normal outfit isn’t it?” Nebel says before returning to his book.

Mitchell blushes furiously behind his back before saying a small “thanks” and leaving the room. That;s when she remembered… “Did he forget his promise?” she thinks to herself before shaking her head “No, that’s not it I’m sure that once he’s done with his classes he’s going to do it…” She once more goes completely red as she slips into a delusion of her own design “…with me.”

After a moment Mitchell returns to reality and shakes her head, she reaches into her bag and touches the lengths of rope she had previously had under her clothes. Her friend Stephanie had told her about a little something…

Stephanie had told her one day quite seriously, that all men liked a certain thing and any woman that wanted to keep a guy had to be willing to do it… At the time Stephanie had been drooling and rosy cheek while stuck on top of a balance bar she had been walking that was a good meter off the ground… but that comment and a few things she had explained to Mitchell had stuck in her mind…

And when she got a hold of the rope Maya had tied her up with she hadn’t been able to resist trying it out!

“So embarrassing…” was the thought Mitchell had when Nebel noticed that she had a rope under her clothes, thankfully he didn’t seem to know what it meant and in her joy of this fact Mitchell actually made him promise to allow her to show him later… her thought to that was also embarrassment… what if Stephanie was wrong?... what if he didn’t like it…

Closing her bag, Mitchell walks out of the room in a panic…

Alan had important work to do! This was actually the most important task he had been assigned thus far, before all the really important jobs fell on that guy Nebel…

…His jobs had only been, assist the left flank, assist the right flank, assist this and assist that…

Alan had been attending to his men that morning, making sure they had slept well, getting them a warm meal and finally drilling the ones that had both, when one of the single star generals had approached him with orders for him sealed in an envelope.

After greeting the general and exchanging pleasantries, Alan tore open the letter and examined the details contained within… he had been given total command over the eastern border and was ordered to lead most of the army that had been posted at the northeastern border to that location!

Alan felt so glad! Finally he could show what he was made of! Alan was determined to make his first real command a good one so only a few minutes later... using most of his closest allies as messengers… he sent out orders for the camp to be taken apart and the army to march southeast.

A few hours later he ran into the first problem, the main city… which had over grown due to refugees… was between him and his army and their destination. Using his knowledge of armies on the move, that he had cultivated while playing hundreds of virtual reality games, Alan forced the roads to be closed and his army to march on through the center of the city…

Traffic was blocked for miles and tempers were rising quickly to critical mass but that was fine… none of them really mattered they were just NPCs he could just calm them later… struggling to keep his army moving Alan had to repeatedly send men to pull stragglers either out of their homes or brothels where they had run when he wasn’t looking…

As the day ended he finally managed to get his army to the otherside of the city just to notice after a head count that he was missing just over ten percent of his army…

He was furious and ordered for it to be posted that any man that didn’t arrive the next morning would be considered a deserter.

After which he told the army to set up camp right there and left to his tent to plan his next actions together with his right hand man Chris, and a mage he had met from the army…

No one told Synthia about the armies next move and so she only relized they were leaving when she crawled out of a tent that was part of the contingent that was remaining at the northeastern border and wiped the gunk that had just been left on her face by the kind gentleman that was crawling out beside her.

“MAN THIS SUCKS!” she yells into the air after getting to her feet “THEY LEFT ME BEHIND! How could they forget me…” she whimpers before crouching in a corner and poking at the ground with a stick…

“Ahh come on don’t be like that…” the guy that had just slept with her says feeling guilty that she had lost… what did she lose? “Why does it matter?” he asks her

“All those men…. Hick … and the fires I could have started…” she murmurs while herrassing a group of ants carrying some leaves over the ground.

“Oh if its men, there are still some here.” He says pointing at himself.

She lifts her head and looks around before getting to her feet “Your right!” she says wiping tears from the corner of her eyes “I’ll screw everyone here, light the munitions depot on fire and then run to join the army!”

The man takes a step back… “The munitions depot! No… No that would be….” He starts to stammer but she had already run over to some soldier that was passing by and was making out with him without a single word… the soldier was surprised but soon grew enthusiastic as most men would if a gorgeous woman came up to them kissed them and started undoing his pants…

The soldier just stood there dumb for a moment before running to his superior to make sure the depot part wouldn’t happen…

In five hours Synthia managed to top off all the male soldiers in the encampment that caught her fancy and then headed to the depot to satisfy her other needs. There waiting just for her was a group of female soldiers that had been ordered to make sure she failed, they had filled the depot with water after making sure it was air tight and since the actual crates were air tight the missiles and explosives that they had just in case some really tough enemy came along would be just fine.

Seeing that the depot was a no go, Synthia turns towards one side and raises her hands…

BOOOMMMMM!!!!!

The natural gas canister that had been placed beside the truck depot to serve as a refueling spot, explodes sending out a mighty wave of force that levels most of the tents in the area as well as turning over and setting on fire a truck that had been in the process on refueling…

Synthia who had been knocked off of her feet by the explosion jumps once more to them while laughing hysterically, before the soldiers in the area can recover from her “performance”, let alone try to apprehend, her she runs off for the city as the sun set.

The soldiers stare after her as she disappears into the distance….

And the general, who was just coming out of his tent in which Synthia had been just a few minutes earlier swears before laughing much like Synthia “Damn that girls nuts!” he shouts “I think I’m in love!”

Lucca crossed most of the city in about an hour, not all of that distance was covered by running and jumping… in reality only a few minutes after leaving Nebel, Lucca had arrived at and safely boarded a train heading to the east.

At the northeastern stop Lucca got off of the train and walked down a few streets towards the ocean, at which she climbed down a few flights of stairs to reach the beach. As was pretty usual for any warm period of the year, lots of people could be seen sunbathing and playing about on the beach and even swimming.

But that was all since the area that had been freed of demi humans only reached out a few hundred feet and was only possible thanks to lots of metal nets placed between the open waters and the beach.

Walking all the way to the firm part of the beaches sand, Lucca starts to run north along it heading to meet up with a family friend that had asked for a little help a day earlier. Maximus had actually called quite a few people but Nebel was busy, Mitchell didn’t like fighting those enemies and Maya apparently told him to bother some other Maya… so Lucca was his only back up.

Continuing to run north and slightly east to stay on the beach, Lucca eventually reaches the frontier and Nebel’s trap, taking a canister she had asked a soldier for a while back, she puts a respirator over her face and starts to walk until she’s just a few feet from the trigger.

Getting down into a starting position Lucca makes certain that all of her gear is straight and won’t move around before shooting forwards into a sprint, the air starts to get heavy and heat hazes rise up around her but she just continues racing forwards.

Thanks to the chilled air coming out of her respirator, the heat while slowly blistering her skin wasn’t affecting her breathing too much and she soon reached the other side of the trap and moderate safety.

Falling into a heap for a few minutes, Lucca removes the respirator from her face, closes the valve on the canister and starts to apply soothing balm, which she had in her bag, to her slight burns that the heated air had given her.

Looking around Lucca doesn’t see any rat men but is sure that they can’t be far away. Getting to her feet she stows away the balm and the small canister before starting to lightly jog towards her rendezvous with Maximus.

i left this chapter until now so i could get a good nights sleep, i might start to do this often since i'm starting a ridicules punishment for bettering ones self.

Mandatory social service for university students how stupid.

hope you like this one... though i'm not too sure there's much to like other than Mitchell's a Synthia's part since the othre two are pretty "this is happern! that is happening."

tell me what you think!

P.s. i add some more maps in case anyone wants to take a look
