Here we go again~ Also what I meant last chapter was that there was some after-story after this fic. Find the hint in Be Humane's latest chapter.

DrM-FF: Sorry, but my stories suffer the same problem. I always felt like leaving you guys thinking all the time.

The result? Smaller chapters with dialogue leaving you wondering. Don't worry, I don't discontinue stories I think are prospering or I have a special connection with.

RandomGuest: Ohoh, he'll cause quite a show. I know it's difficult, but the Universal Union finds a way! Especially that Strider that burrowed through the ground using it's main cannon in the City 17 street war.

ANEEHOUSE. (Anyhows)

"King Taijitu!"

"King what?"

"Big two-headed snake!"

The fight was going just peachy, until the snake decided to go back and deal with them. Casualties were a bit more above average. Three dropships were destroyed and with it a strider and six squads, five gunships were lost, two hunterchoppers, a few dozen soldiers were dead and three striders and their escorts were down.

"Striders!, Fire your main guns on that snake!" The player shouted.

By the sound of that command, the four remaining striders fired their guns in unison. The snake's face was distorted and its entire body was cancelled out by the negative energy the cannons had dispensed. As a result, the snake's entire body floated as if unaffected by gravity and dissolved shortly after.

But the horde still need to be dealt with and right now only four striders, sixteen hunters, nine soldier squads, four elite squads, two gunships and a single hunter chopper were left.

"What are we supposed to do now?" The huntress looked on the massive horde descending on them.

Comprised mostly of wolves, lizards and bears while there was a few smaller but still huge snakes and scorpions in the middle of it.

The player sighed. Before pulling out a button and pressing it. A few seconds after, behind the horde was a swarm of grey and tan specks with many blinking lights following it.

You know what he meant by having a swarm of scanners? This is what he meant.

The city scanners blinded the creatures as they smashed into them, exploding. The resulting shrapnel impaled themselves on unlucky creatures or bounced off on the bigger ones. The shield scanners dropped their hopper mines, bombing the creatures below them. They soon started impaling weaker creatures with their arms, blinding the others.

"Get them!" The player shouted to the remaining survivors of his group.

The elites fired off their orbs and the soldiers threw their grenades. Gunships and hunter choppers provided air support while Striders and hunters wrestled with the bigger creatures and those slightly bigger than average lesser creatures respectively.

The fight was short lived as their superior weaponry destroyed at what was left of the horde.

There was one problem though.

"Search that train!" The player ordered.

Time skip...

When the battle at Vale Plaza was over and Torchwick was about to be transported into an aircraft. The ground where the train had surfaced exploded, thankfully the shrapnel didn't hit anyone as it was mostly obliterated.

And out came out a Strider, shortly after a pair of hunters got out. The three eyed the various huntsman and huntresses in the plaza. Almost everyone pointed their guns at it, after five grueling seconds of watching each other. Two squads of soldiers escorted a squad of elites escorting two people.

One was an elite with cyan markings, the other was the huntress.

The woman saw Goodwitch and waved at her. The cyan elite looked at the interaction and said.

"Well, this is my cue." He patted the woman on the shoulder. "It was nice meeting you." And walked away.

Everyone saw the strider crouch and go back down the hole, it's escort following it. The soldiers and elites ran back down in unison.

The last one to leave was the cyan elite, who looked back at them.

And did a lazy salute before going back down.

Unknown to everyone, they bolted without a trace.

Line break

The player gasped for breath. "HO-LEE SHIT. I WISH I COULD'VE DONE THAT BETTER." He wheezed.

He leaned back against the wall. "I seriously hope I didn't cause a mass panic. I can just imagine the headlines."

He sighed and sat down, pulling his knees to his chest. "I guess I'm all alone again."

While he enjoyed fighting with his NPCs, he didn't have anything for idle stuff. While the villagers were there, he felt like he didn't belong with them. And somehow, his thoughts went from silently having a mental breakdown to remembering Kleiner and Lamarr.

Immediately, he spawned a poison headcrab and looked at it.

It squeaked.

He smiled and started playing around with it. Poking it, petting it or just general pet stuff.

Then it came.

You have gained an achievement!

Bonding time

He checked its definition.

Bonding time - Enhance an NPC's combat ability and sentience through bonding.

His eyes widened and his mouth agape.

Despite not having internet, he can make this work.

He looked at the headcrab, it squeaked again.

"Don't worry. Everything's going to be all right."

When he reached the camp, the one he liberated, he went to one of the storage buildings.

He spawned eight elites, they looked at him.

"You eight are going to be my specialists, the best of the best. If you disappoint me, don't worry. I disappoint myself most of the time."

"Affirmative."

Then, he spawned four zombines.

"You four...you guys are just going to lead the zombies. Get you guys to be the best zombies."

"Outbreak."

He spawned an Antlion Guardian. It glowered at him.

"You shall be the best Antlion. Lead them to battle and whatnot."

A roar.

He spawned Barney, Alyx and Grigori.

"I'll just get you guys to be more cancer. That good?"

"That's good with me, Gordon." That was Barney.

"Ditto, Gordon." Alyx.

"We shall fight with the lord on our side, brother."

The player smiled. Thinking about all the mayhem he can cause.

But who receives it...

He will cross the bridge when he gets to it.

Yeah! I'm done~

This mobile data sucks! You can't download addons with this!

Anyhow, WiFi is needed to actually help me with this story.

I call my Poison headcrab "Cure".

*squeak*

Yeah!
