Chapter 7
It been a few days after since Ben decision to not help the militia titan, David was always around to add some 'Fun' Detail to it, along with Jay and Alex, with spray painting the titan chassis
David and Jason decided to add some war style drawings, while Alex went for the more, colorful drawing, with small stars stuff, While David and Jason were doing drawings that were quiet similar to other nose job art on other titans. All while Ben was supervising them
During one of their painting to the titan, Sam came rushing in, shouting "I got someone!"
"You actually got in?" Jason said, seeing Sam running up to them
"Yeah! ... now listen- listen." Sam said, taking a seat on a crate "I have this one friend, His name is Nick. He said he can get us into a match"
"Us? what do you mean by... Us?" David asked, hoping he heard wrong
"You and me!" Sam said before looking at the Titan "And him" He pointed
"What?" Everyone shouted in surprise and shock
"Well, that is only because this one guy couldn't make it, then there was only this one empty room for-"
"Wait hold on there" Alex stopped him as Ben walked up to him
"We can't have a militia titan in public-"
"But they won't know, can they?" Sam reminded them "They won't know the different"
Ben open his mouth to talk back, but close it when he realize he was right. No one is going to see a militia titan- only a modded titan, just entering a TS match.
"Alright, fine" Ben finally said, accepting his defeat "But, your giving me some of the cut"
"What does this have to do with me anyway?" David asked as Sam turned toward him
"You're the only one that have experiences with the titan"
David open his mouth to argue back, before realizing that he's right. He did entered a Titan Simulation game before, it was quiet similar to the IMC Simulation pod before, but that was a while. "That was different-"
"Yeah, but you ace that one before... before that scorch destroyed you" Sam chuckled, remembering how David's titan ran straight head first toward the large titan "But we still need someone to pilot- Control it"
David sighed deeply, before turning around, looking at Sam "Where is it starting at?"
Downtown
"I can't believe we're doing this" David said to himself as him, Sam, and his friend stood side by side, standing a few feet from the barrier that stood between him and Archie.
The barrier was am reinforced glass window, those that are used on ship's windows. The distance inside the glass walls is about the same as a football field, about two time its sizes. There were some everyday items- large things like wore-out vehicles, lamp poles, even tree trunks and rocks.
On the sides, just like any kind of sports, there were rows of seats on the sides, going around with the only openings being the double sided doors on the two opposites sides with a small booth and a titan training pod- the same type that both IMC also uses, only, these were different
"So Sam?"
"Hmm?"
"What titan am I fighting?" David asked as a man, about in his twenty replied for Sam
"It's not a regular titan, that for sure" Nick replied. He had brown hair while wearing casual clothes with a card attached to his chest, which was nearly covered by his green bomber jacket.
"What do you mean?" David asked as he entered the pod
"Remember how we saw some of the titans in the games, a few of them were pretty sweet- but I'll be careful-"
"But what am I fighting?!" David nearly shouted
"Well, it's going to be a Ogre class" Nick replied as hatch on the pod started close on David "But you should be fine!"
That were the last voice David heard before being muffled. The inside of the pod was dark and empty, until a voice could be heard from inside the pod
"We're going to link you to your titan, alright? You might feel something" The operator said as different areas in the pod to light up in green before beaming lights into the teenager as David felt a small mental shock though his head. The shock only lasted a second as if nothing really happen or changed. A few moments later, a screen popped up, showing a loading screen before a list appeared on the titan
Linked with Pilot
Ocular systems online
Missile pod, Online
Ion shot, Operational
Shields... Online
All system operational
Transferring control to Pilot
All after the list were done loading, the screen changed into the eyes of Archie, as David watched the the wall move downward, with the lift moving upward into the arena. The Hatch opening form the top as the bright lights shined down onto the titan as the lift leveled with the floor as an Announcer voice spoke loudly though the speakers
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome... to, Titan Smash!" The Announcer shouted loudly though the speaker as the crowd screamed
"On the visitors side, We have a newcomer to the game. Team Iron!" The Announcer Announced "And Their Monarch class titan! This is a rare find everyone, but they seem to just found it at a poor car dealership- I mean, Look at those coloring"
The spectator laughed as they looked at the Titan nose arts, with drawings of fire and other war things to stars and rainbows as the Titan looking around
"And on the Home side. We have everyone favorite fireteam, Team Ember!"
Coming out of the ground, was an Ogre titan, it had the chassis and arms of a Scorch, while having the base legs of a normal Ogre. The arms of the Titan were modified, having small bursts of fires coming out from the titan wrists as it shot out fire onto the ground, scorching the ground a bit
On the other side where Sam and his friend are, were a group of people, dressed in red and yellow outfit, with fire detailed on the suits.
"Let see who'll get, Toasted, This time!" The announcer said before finishing by saying "Let the Show, BEGIN!"
Once the loud alarm in the games ringed, the Modded Scorch came marching toward the Titan, creating a circle of fire around it as it slowly moved forward
Inside David's cockpit, a small message appeared on the top left corner of the screen. David knew it was Archie, since the staffs or operator could only speak to them, not texting him "Pilot, none of my offensive capabilities could pierce that Scorch fire. I suggest using a different approach" The text read
David looked around before grabbing a large piece of rock, chucking it forward as it bypassed the Ogre fire wall, and directly onto the metal plating
"Ohh, what a hit!" The announcer commented
David grabbed more debris around him before throwing them at the coming titan. Inside the Scorch cockpit, a voice on the other team shouted at his teammate pilot "Quit walking toward him, just punch the bastard!"
The Scorch in the arena dropped down it wall of fire, charging toward David's Titan
Quickly dodging the coming fist, David didn't have enough time to evade the second punch as it knocked him onto it back. The modded Scorch was about to punch the titan's hatch, only for the fist to be blocked by both of the vanguard arms as a cannon popped out of the titan back, shooting the red Ocular lights on the Scorch hatch, making it flinch backward
The flame Scorch looked around as it's Second ocular system was placed into action. The Flaming Ogre looked around, looking for the Monarch titan., only for it to be surprised by a barrage of a missiles pod from the back.
The Scorch turned around, grabbing a yellow canister from it back, throwing it around the area where the monarch is, as a mustard color gas begin to come out rapidly
"I hope you bought sunscreen, because this will be a HOT one" The announcer said as the Scorch lifted both of it arms forward as fire begin to come out of the Titan wrist, almost like a flamethrower, igniting the area where the he threw the can at, burning the whole arena as the Scorch attempted to burn the monarch titan alive, lighting up the whole arena at the same time.
David's titan stopped to look at the fire crazy titan, talking out its Ion shot, aiming for the outer shell of the wrist before firing a shot, entering the inside. The Fire Scorch looked at the area were the laser entered, before suddenly becoming set on fire, as it blew up afterward, destroying the arm.
The Crowd busted into screams, fill with gasp and shock before wowing it amazement as they watched one of the arms of the titan get destroyed
"Oh what a bang!" The announcer said, being surprised as well
"David, do it!" Sam shouted into his mic as David was in front of the distracted titan.
Stop screaming then! David thought to himself before charging head first into the titan, punching it in the mid section of the body, pinning it against the wall as it lift it's head up to David, who proceeded to rip the remaining arm as he finished the scorch off with one punch though the hatch of the cockpit
Everyone watching were speak less, even the announcer "T-this is... What a surprise! Team Ember is eliminated!" The announcer said, as the other team were raging and shouting at each other
"The winner goes to Team Iron!"
As Archie walked onto the moving platform, moving it downward into the ground, David walked out of his pod, after wiping the link between him and his titan.
"David! you just destroyed team ember Flamer!" Sam exclaimed
"Pff, It was a easy" David replied casually as they walked onto a platform, moving downward
And that how Titan Smash works (Which is something I made up fyi)
