I moved my AC so it was leaning over the railing of the transport.
Below I saw land come closer to us. It is hard to believe this is all
artificial, it looks so realistic. I looked ahead and saw a giant gray
wall approach, probably the wall for the giant room this place was in. The
transport went to a door that was at where the land and the wall
intersected. It landed and I got off.
"This way," Michelle said. I followed her construction MT into the big doors. A long, gray hallway was ahead.
"This takes quite a while to go down," Michelle said. Her small MT began slowly hovering down the hallway. I could run faster in my AC than that!
"Watch this," I said. I grabbed the arm of her MT and pressed the over boost on my AC.
"What the? Hey!" exclaimed Michelle. My AC's over boosters opened up, charged, and ignited. We zoomed down the hallway. After a few seconds, my energy was nearly out, so I deactivated the OB.
"Wow! That was amazing!" Michelle said. These Layered people are kinda weird. We were already at the end of the hallway. Michelle went up to the control panel and input the password to open it. The door opened, and a massive city appeared!
"Wow! This is amazing!" I said. There were cars going by, buildings that went all the way to the ceiling of the room, and multiple lights light up the street.
"This is the 2nd layer," Michelle said.
"Are all the layers like this?" I asked.
"Most of them, except the Nature Layer and the Internal Hub," Michelle replied. She moved her MT forward and I followed. She led me down the street until we reached a warehouse. My AC was taller than her construction MT, so I lifted up the large door.
"Park your AC here," Michelle said. I walked my AC, got out, and hopped into Michelle's construction MT. She flew me to a hotel I could stay at. I looked out the window as all the lights flew by.
"We're here," Michelle said. I must have started dozing off. Maybe I haven't fully recovered from my concussion.
We got out of the construction MT. I sat down on a seat as Michelle got a room. I reviewed what has been happening to me lately. I'm drafted into the Neo Isaac army, I saw Lynn for about an hour, I've seen disorder units up close, maybe too close, I saw Soni for about five minutes, I fell down a big hole, got a concussion, broke my arm, and I finally settled down in a massive underground city with artificial environments, and the people here have never been to the surface. I hope I've been dreaming.
"Ow!" I said. I moved my left arm to get some pain, hoping I was dreaming.
"Hey! Don't touch it!" Michelle said, "I got us a room."
" 'Us'?" I asked. I think she has a thing for me.
"My living area is all the way on the 4th Layer, and I need to stay on this Layer, because my job is in the Nature Layer," Michelle said. She definitely likes me, but I'm not attracted to her, anyway, I'm in deep enough shit with Lynn and Soni.
"Alright," I said as I got up. Michelle and I walked to "our" room and opened the door. There was a table in front of me, as well as a kitchen around it. To my left was the bedroom. I was tired, so I fell straight in the bed.
"Ahh! Dammit!" I said. I landed on my broken arm.
"I said don't touch it," Michelle said. She came over to me and inspected my arm. She input a few codes into the mechanical cast, and the thing got tighter around my arm.
"What are you doing? That hurts!" I said.
"I increased the bone repair fluid, and it needs more pressure, it must have gotten loose for it to hurt," Michelle replied. After a while, the pain ceased. I tapped the cast, and I didn't feel any pain.
"Ok, thanks," I said. Michelle sat down on the bed across from mine.
"I've been thinking," Michelle said. She probably wants to hook up with me, "I want you to take me with you to the surface."
"Ok, I'll, wait, you want me to take you to the surface?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm curious on what it's like," Michelle said, "Maybe I can work as a mechanic for you." Actually, she is a good mechanic.
"I see your point, I could use a better mechanic, you did a real good job with my AC," I said, "I guess I could take you to the surface."
"Great! You'll protect me right?" Michelle said. She started moving closer to me.
"Yeeeaaaah," I said, backing up a little. She got off of her bed and started leaning over to my bed. I kept leaning back until I had to use my right arm to support me.
"Where am I going to sleep tonight?" Michelle said as she continued coming closer. She had a smile on her face.
"Ummm," I said. She was trying to get somewhere, in my pants. I kept leaning back until I was lying down on the bed. Michelle crawled onto the bed and then sat on me.
"Uhh, I'm kinda tired," I said.
"Pshh," Michelle said. She frowned and got off of me. She stormed into the other room. I think I pissed her off. I got off of the bed, stripped down to my boxers, and got under the covers. I was dead tired. I fell asleep right away.

"Warning! Armor low!"
"Dammit!" I said.
"Unknown opponent has a lock on!"
"I know! Activate over boost!"
"Unable to over boost, energy charging!"
"What how?"
"Over boosting."
"What? Are you crazy?"
"No, I'm not," Soni said.
"Soni? What is this?"
"Hell," she replied. I heard an explosion.
~
"Myk! Wake up! We're under attack!" Michelle said, shaking me.
"Wha?" I asked as I sat up. I was in a cold sweat.
"BOOM!" a loud explosion came from outside.
"Initiating lockdown!" said the computer. I looked out the window and metal shudders covered them, sealing shut.
"We have to get to my AC!" I said.
"We can't! We're in lockdown!" Michelle said. Just at that moment, an explosion hit the building, knocking out the lights and shaking everything. I felt around trying to find Michelle.
"Michelle! Where are you!?" I yelled.
"Over here!" I heard Michelle say. I heard another explosion and the room filled with dust. The wall was blown away, revealing the gray street.
"Michelle! Are you ok?" I yelled.
"Yeah, (cough) I'm alright," Michelle replied, dusting herself off.
"This way! Follow me!" I said. I ran out of the building and looked around. The streets had a few bodies lying around, along with wrecked cars. Some people were running down the street, flailing their arms and screaming. A blue flash went across an intersection that was down the street. I heard the loud thuds of an MT walk this way. From around the corner walked a teal MT, in fact, it was a D-type!
"What the hell are they doing here?" I yelled.
"Who are they?" Michelle said.
"Those are the MTs that slaughtered the 1st layer immigrants!" I said. The D-type turned to the street we were on. It walked down the pathway, blasting the buildings as it passed. It used it's charged beam frequently. It was walking closer to our location, and then looked at us. It began to charge its beam.
"We gotta run!" I yelled. I ran down the alley to my right with Michelle in my hand. I heard the explosion behind us. Once we were on the other road, I asked Michelle which way to go.
"This way!" Michelle pointed down the street. I bolted in that direction. Michelle tried to keep up, but was seriously lagging. I saw the warehouse up ahead, and ran faster.
"Wait up!" Michelle yelled from behind me. I stopped, turned around, and picked Michelle up. She was pretty light.
"Hey!" Michelle said as I began running towards the warehouse. Once we got to the warehouse, I climbed up the stairs to a balcony that was on the right side of my AC.
"Can you jump?" I asked Michelle.
"Not really," she replied as I jumped onto the core of my AC. "Hey! I can't jump that far!"
"I'll catch you, trust me," I said. I reached out my arm.
"Trust you? You blew me off last night!" Michelle said. I get in trouble for having an affair, and I get in trouble for not having one. Life's confusing.
"I'm sorry! I was just really tired!" I said.
"Yeah, right," Michelle said. She began to pout and cross her arms.
"Fine, I'll leave you here then," I said. I opened up my cockpit and climbed in.
"HEY!" I heard Michelle scream as I closed the hatch. I turned on my AC.
"Welcome Myk, multiple MTs detected, engage combat mode?"
"Yes!" I yelled. My right arm raised its machine gun. I heard a small thud.
"Warning, an object has attached itself to the right arm!" my computer said. It was Michelle. Immediately after that, the cockpit hatch opened. Michelle hopped inside.
"WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?" Michelle screamed, tears in her eyes.
"Well, I got you to jump," I replied with a light chuckle.
"You asshole!" Michelle said as she wiped her eyes.
"Sorry," I said, "you might want to sit down."
I activated the booster and shot out of the warehouse.
"AHHHHH!" Michelle screamed as she flew to the back of the cramped cockpit.
"This way," Michelle said. I followed her construction MT into the big doors. A long, gray hallway was ahead.
"This takes quite a while to go down," Michelle said. Her small MT began slowly hovering down the hallway. I could run faster in my AC than that!
"Watch this," I said. I grabbed the arm of her MT and pressed the over boost on my AC.
