Hi loved the fact that many people are looking at the story. Thank you for your support so far. I will continue to update as much as possible but don't get your hopes up. Well here it is chapter three.
Chapter 3: Clash of the Worlds
-Morning at the allied MCV
"Man, it almost took all night, but I managed to finish it." he yawned. Executing the plan and getting a minimum of 4 hours of sleep typically is not good for people but due to his military training he could be able to do it and be fully alert the next day. "Athena continue with the building and deployment of spies to every country on this planet. I don't care how you do it just get it done but with discretion." "Yes sir, recommending air dropping the spies to enemy territories during the night and doing a mass rocket launch of the satellites in only one night to keep full capabilities in the dark." "Recommendation approved, man sometimes I wonder if the AI's really can think like a human." he mused. Then his stomach started growling, "Whoops, need to find myself some chow before continuing on with the planning. O.K. Athena construct a super reactor and make sure you make some tesla troopers and terror drones while I'm gone." "Acknowledged." With that he left the MCV and headed towards the academy to find something to eat.
-Louise currently searching for Familiar
It was an aggravating morning; first she wakes up thinking that everything was normal until she remembers that she summoned a commoner yesterday who basically refused to be disciplined. Also when she went out of her room she met up with her enemy Kirche who basically asked if the commoner she 'hired' turned tail and also flaunted her familiar which was a fire salamander to her irritation. Now she is trying to find that said familiar and teach him a lesson of disobeying her will by having him dragged to the dining hall and refusing to feed him. She was walking down the hall thinking about all this when her familiar rounded the corner and saw her. "There you are you damn familiar! Come, it's time for breakfast." "Well that's a surprise. You are nicely inviting me to breakfast." "Oh be quiet and just follow me." "Let me guess, you are trying to drag me to your dining hall where you would sit down and eat breakfast while not letting me eat as punishment of disobeying your commands from last night." "Ho….how did you know?!" "Please Louise, I didn't become a commander because I was stupid. Also I have a pretty good idea of your personality from our little discussion last night and from the looks of things unless you start treating me as an equal, we will never see eye to eye." "Don't you dare demand me to treat you as an equal you commoner. That's it I won't be feeding you for a week." "Fair enough, I don't need to get food from you." And then that damned familiar pivoted and walked away. "AAUUUUGHHH! Oh Brimir why did I get such an aggravating commoner as my familiar." screamed Louise to some long dead psychopath.
-back to Blake
"Seriously, that pinkette is underestimating me." he sighed after he left Louise to contemplate his words. However, he would need to find someone who would be able to direct him to the kitchens. He would have better luck in asking the chef for some food than trying to get food from these nobles; seriously do these people understand the word? He then saw a maid so he walked up to her and asked, "Hi there, I was just wondering if you can direct me to the kitchens? I would like to find something to eat." She jumped a bit since he asked behind her back but relaxed when she saw who it was. "Oh so you are the familiar the Mrs. Louise summoned yesterday." "Yeah I am, but anyways can you direct me to the kitchens?" "Why sure please follow me, oh and I am Siesta by the way." "Jonathan Blake at your service" he replied though he did think that the maid reminded him of someone but he couldn't quite put a finger on it. "Oh well, probably my mind trying to find anything familiar in this place considering the fact that I am no longer anywhere near home." he thought while following the maid to the kitchens.
-after a good meal where he praised the chief of the food since it was better than the chow served in the armed forces and meeting with the kitchen staff later.
"Aaaaahhhhh… relaxing under a tree with a nice breeze after eating such a delicious breakfast can do wonders to a man." he thought while doing the said thing in one of the academy's courtyards. He was having a good time relaxing when he sees a familiar color of pink hair coming towards him. "Hi there little girl, so glad you could join me on this beautiful day." "That is Louise you damn commoner, now follow me." she comes in and starts dragging him by the arm. "Hey, hey. Slow down what is going on?" "Well, all of the second years don't have classes today so that they may be able to build relationships with their familiars." "Oh, then do I get to sit in a chair and get myself cake?" "Yes,Yes. Now please just for once don't embarrass me in front of the other students." "Alright fine by me." They made their way to another courtyard that was set up with tables and chairs where the other students were already sitting down with their familiars. It was a rather interesting sight considering that many of the familiars were creatures were from myths and fairy tales with the occasional odd creatures here and there. Then the pinkette found some unoccupied chairs and directed him to the seat. "Well now since we are here we may might as well try to get to know each other. But remember I am only going to be civil with you for just this once." grumbled the pinkette. "Fine, fine. What is it that you want to know, and also bear in mind that I have the right to refuse to tell you certain things if I think that they are too sensitive." "I'm your master and a noble. You should be telling me everything that I want to know." "You are not someone that I would obey since you have not shown me that you are someone that deserves my respect, either you take my offer or I will immediately leave and never cooperate with you ever again." "F..F…Fine, then first off why are you a commander even though you are a commoner?"
-Q&A session where he tells her about the war of the three powers (without telling about each one's capabilities), that there is one moon, no magic at all so technology flourishes, for the allies the leaders are elected, and also there are some nobles but they don't have any abilities with magic.
Louise just couldn't believe just what her familiar was spouting. There was no magic? Then how in the world can such a place function? Only one moon? Nobles that exists but don't have any magical powers? And also about governments that can work by commoners choosing other commoners to lead them. That was more barbaric than Germania! That there were three major powers that once fought for control of the planet and that her familiar's people won, the same people that choose their leaders from the commoners. Another thing that her familiar noted was the fact that their weapons capabilities were primitive compared to the weapons that his people had developed. How dare he mock their power, why can't he see that he was a commoner that doesn't have any capabilities to do magic? "….I don't believe you." "That is understandable since your people relied too much on magic, so therefore none of you even bothered to try to fully understand how the universe naturally works around you. Even if I were to show you some of our capabilities that were done through science, you would still think that it was done by magic because of how narrow your minds think." She opened her mouth to reply against that but couldn't get anything out. Regardless of how she thought about what her familiar said there was some truth that magic was in itself a power that could go against nature. Alchemy for example could turn common stone into gold if the mage was powerful and skilled enough to do it and that typically goes against the natural process of the world. Other than the Ancient magic that was done by the elves, magic involved forcing willpower to things to make certain events to happen. She then noticed that her familiar had left his chair and is currently helping a maid out with distributing pastries while she was having her internal monologue. "Just what is this familiar and his people capable of if even half of what he said was true?" she thought.
-after Blake starts helping the maid and protects her from a noble who was two timing and agreeing to a duel where both Siesta and Louise thinks that he's gonna die.
"First of all, I commend you for coming here instead of running away!" Guiche remarked while twirling that rose of his. "It's not a question of whether I run or not, but whether I am willing to fight for what I believe in." Blake replied decked out in full peacekeeper armor. Guiche was rather surprised that the commoner had body armor and one that was of rather high quality from the looks of it, but that would not matter since he was a noble. It was a given that a commoner even one that was armed would never defeat a noble. Meanwhile, Blake was checking to make sure that everything was working properly; however, he did call in Athena to send in a bullfrog that was camouflaged with a mirage tank to be entirely loaded with terror drones in the event that things were to go down south. He also ordered her to launch every rocket that housed the satellites to be launched when the terror drones were launched so to make people think that terror drones do stuff like that when they come in and mess with their minds. "Can't wait to see their faces when that happens." he chucked while getting the riot shield in front and prepared to fight. The riot shield that he was using was one that was specially designed by him. It had a gun port within the shield where he could stick his shotgun through and be able to shoot without leaving himself open to enemy fire. "Well then shall you do the honors of opening this fight." Guiche smiled and waved his rose wand which created a armor-clad female warrior. "I forgot to mention earlier that my runic name is 'Guiche the Bronze' and accordingly my bronze golem 'Valkyrie' shall be your opponent." Right after Guiche said that there was a shot and the golem lost its head. Everyone was very surprised since the commoner's gun was able to get a head shot from such a distance away. Blake calmly pumped the action and said, "Is that all? Quite frankly I've dealt with enemies much more dangerous than that tin can." That got Guiche irritated since the commoner was claiming that his Valkyries were nothing more than an eyesore and with that he summoned 6 more Valkyries each armed to the teeth and sent them to deal with the commonor. "Well looks like things are going South Athena!" Blake yelled and with that there was a very loud roaring noise and 8 constructs appeared in the sky and floated down. When they landed it was much easier to see what these constructs were. The golems looked like oversized bugs with four legs but entirely made of steel. They also had a piece of metal that was pointing out of the area where the mouth should be and there seemed to be circular blades with teeth in the body. "Ladies and gentlemen let me introduce you to my units the terror drones." That really shocked the students that were watching the duel, was this man a mage? They wondered since their only explanation on why it seemed that he could control those golems would be that he would be an earth mage. Even vain playboy Guiche was shocked that what appeared to be a commoner had control over something like this. However he didn't have time to think about it since the terror drones immediately attacked at a speed that was unbelievable. Some activated the circular blades and cut the Valkyries to pieces; some would jump and crush the Valkyries underfoot, while others would use the metal to shoot lightning. Lightning! That melted the Valkyries to slag. That really shocked everyone because it was unheard of that golems could fire magical attacks by themselves. By now Guiche was panicking since these golems were turning his Valkyries to scrap metal and tried to summon another golem to protect him when he realized that all the petals on his rose was gone. He then was then pinned down by a terror drone which was readying it's blades for a kill. "Must be rather interesting seeing that the tables have turned from what you thought was an easy fight" yelled Blake. "I..I..I yield!" cried Guiche "Well too bad, but that terror drone is going to attack you." "No please! I'm …" "A noble?" Blake said sarcastically. "Pft. Do you seriously think that I give a damn if you are a noble or not? You probably wouldn't have shown any mercy to me if it was the other way around since I'm a so called commoner. Listen, and listen well boy when you are in a fight or battle it always kill or be killed. War is never a kind person and never will be. So the next time you try to start one be prepared that you may be killed in the fight. So adios playboy." With that the terror drone brought it's blade down.
-The headmaster's office.
"Nooooooo!" yelled Colbert who was watching the crystal ball with the headmaster. "Calm down." "Calm down!? That man just killed one of our students!" cried Colbert. "Just stop freaking out and look at the crystal carefully." Sighed the headmaster Osmand, "If you look closely you could see that the blade just grazed the poor boy instead of splitting his head in half." "Oh you're right. Thank goodness. I would hate to be the bearer of bad news to the Gramount family." "However, that just reveals just how dangerous the new Gandalfer is." replied the headmaster. "I doubt that those…what did he call them?...terror drones were everything that this man is capable of. We much watch this man very carefully and prevent the other students from attacking him. Otherwise I fear we would be intimidating a dragon, which is all the more reason where we should keep this secret as long as possible from the crown and the other nobles." That Colbert agreed since it was not good to antagonized a hornet's nest more than what it was now. "But I must say how exactly did he make the golems capable of shooting lightning." Thought Colbert.
-back to Louise
That was really shocking. Her familiar could control several golems that also have the capability of shooting lightning. He was capable to shooting with that strange musket accurately from a distance and above all he was a commoner! "Just what are you capable of?" she thought.
-to Tabitha
This was unprecedented! A commoner that could control several golems that was capable of shooting lightning. Unknown from the other students at the school she was a special agent for her Uncle which she secretly wanted to get rid of since he was the one that made her mother as she was right now. If she were to get the support from this man. She would be able to overthrow her uncle. "I would just have to find some way to get close to him." she thought while looking over her book.
-to Kirche (not going to say much other than the commoner surprised her and she gets interested with him.)
-Montmorency (fainted)
-Guiche (fainted)
-to Blake
That should teach this kid a lesson of humility. Thought Blake when he ordered the terror drones to find a secluded area and self-destruct. Now that all of the satellites have been launched into orbit it would allow him to have more attack options in the near future. He would later have to have a little talk with the servants in the kitchen for people that he can recruit for his life mission and review the information from what the spies have gathered so far in the MCV. With that he walked off with people staring at him not noticing that one of the eyes was intensely looking at him.
-someone (not going to tell)
So he is the "Base stealer." The person thought thinking back to the stories. Strange how he seemed to be still alive after all this time, but one thing that they know is that he is a man that can be trusted. While the person was thinking about it they started to float about a centimeter above the ground.
Hope you have enjoyed the story now here is some info about the weapons and their modifications.
-modified terror drone
Practically the same except that it utilizes more strong and lightweight armor so they are a bit more expensive but would survive better. Their stasis ray not only magnetizes magnetic metals but can be powered up to shock or kill like the tesla trooper with an improved battery and generator.
-modified bullfrog
It is much larger than the typical bullfrog allowing for greater troop capacity and armed with an anti-air gun and a forward machine gun. It is also armed with mini-depth charges so to be able to keep submarines away but not really able to kill them without a lucky shot.
-modified mirage tank
The mirage tank is the same except that they are also built with the same type of metal used in the modified terror drones, making them much more survivable to become a real threat in a slugging match with apocalypse tanks. They also now have a turret which was the bane of the normal mirage tank which Blake managed to find a way of interconnecting the power source with the firing system without a direct cable. Also the power system for the mirage tank has been greatly increased allowing for faster firing of the spectrum cannon. Another thing to note is that Blake managed to keep the mirage tank camouflaged even when the gap generator is active allowing for the concealment of other units and the tank itself.
