Chapter 48: Just like Old Times with Old Friends
Noire takes me back to her magnificent mansion in her marvellous multi story car park where she intends to show me my new car, with which I'll pick up the likeable trio of friends.
It is not long before I see it. In fact it is the very car that I have seen in the car elevator in Noire's personal room back in chapter 4. To get that car is such a privilege, an honour. It is the fastest, even more so than Noire's Bugatti and for me to have that car shows how much she truly values me.
"I hope you love this car Black, you've more than earned it." She said with a smile and with much pride and happiness in her voice.
"I do yes, thank you so much for giving me this amazing vehicle. It looks wonderful, I love it." I spoke with much joy in my voice.
I am truly grateful for Noire giving me a super car just like the CPUs have. It is an honour indeed, I feel I just merely do my duty and yet my kind goddess gives me this, words can't describe how great I feel from having such a wonderful CPU who values me and her people.
"It performs well too, did you know that this car can accelerate faster and has a higher top speed than my Bugatti? It also handles better but only slightly. It's very fast and I'm sure you'll be able to handle it very well. The interior is the same and like our cars has all the high tech equipment: TV, atom manipulator, its own bed as well as 2 mini guns and plenty of missile launchers. This car like mine can even become invisible to the human eye. It's strong too as its bullet proof and even to some extent bomb proof, and can withstand a few missiles and shells. We're still working on installing a special toilet and more armour to this car, while ensuring it doesn't reduce speed or room in the car." My ideal heavenly girlfriend spoke with a lot of pride in her voice, along with much joy. In fact there is a hint of flirtation in her voice.
"A special toilet in a car? That's a first." I reply with my jaws dropped in absolute amazement, at such a novel idea.
"Yeah it would save the driver from having to leave the car if they need to go, very useful especially in battlefields, but the special toilet would be hidden and can appear along with a private compartment surrounded it, at the touch of a button. Also the toilet would be able to get rid of the waste and the atom manipulator would break it up into atoms, furthermore the toilet would ensure that the car will never stink of waste." She spoke with pride and much enthusiasm, in fact her body language shows much pride as well.
Her inventions that she has now and hope to get soon do sound amazing, I'm a big lover of technology especially future proof technology. Considering the things it enables people to do that weren't possible before, and how useful they are. For me it's easier to appreciate since it's thanks to science, which merely requires understanding before ideas can develop.
"I'm absolutely amazed you have all of that technology in the car, and it's still the fastest car in Gameindustri. I appreciate this ride, but I would have thought you would like to own the best super car?" I ask her in genuine awe at this vehicle that is now mine.
"True but I think you deserve it more than me, I don't think I would be the woman I am today without my older brother guiding me, besides you have saved my nation time and time again so you deserve the best." She spoke with much kindness and appreciation in her voice and body language.
"Oh Noire you're so kind." I reply to her with joy.
She then gives me a long pleasurable hug and kisses me on the cheek with joy, in fact she does so a few times out of love.
"Have fun Black, the co-ordinates of their whereabouts will be on your GPS. I'll see you soon." The blue haired Lastation CPU spoke in a friendly, confident manner while flirting with me.
I get in the car noticing that instead of a steering wheel there are PS4 controllers. Just as Noire said there is a GPS telling me where I need to go, but my HUD now tells me the distance as well as a map of where they are. I look around finding my own ride to be really spacious and comfortable along with grand, luxurious and sophisticated, it even smells nice in here, and it has a lovely black marble high tech design in here. Like she informed me I see various touch screens as well as the very useful atom manipulator. I start the engine enjoying the noise the vehicle makes as it revs, I feel really young driving this, as I have the pleasure of driving this car, the car that is the fastest in Gameindustri. What an amazing honour.
Like a natural I drive down the multi-story car park enjoying the echoes of the engine, the incredibly comfortable seat, the skidding and the different lights flashing, plus the smell of petrol as I drive along, as well as enjoying the smell of petrol in the air. After that ordeal with the conflict we had, I feel I can relax more now as I know I can drive cars like this with no difficulty. Before I knew it having fun driving down Noire's large multi- story car park I am now in the exciting futuristic streets, full of skyscrapers, rides, monorails, bridges, big advertisements, and countless fantastic features that are novel and eye pleasing, as I take the high way towards my passengers where there's lovely views of skyscrapers, buildings and parks and trees.
Driving along this route and doing this simple task brings back wonderful memories to when I was picked up by Noire, seeing her for the first time here and seeing her glorious city full of absolute wonders and amazement along with the immense scale of it in terms of size and amount. I also remember how much I enjoyed her welcome, her hospitality, I'll never forget it and it's nice that even though we are at war with Leanbox, and they almost succeeded in coming here, the city still looks in great shape, like a near futuristic utopia.
It then dawns upon me as I remember assuming the threesome are who I think they are, what am I going to say? It's been a long time since I saw them, and I wonder what they'd make of it here or the situation?
Before I knew it I now see the three of them and I recognise them to be Landon, Haruka and Tanya. They must be the 3 people who appeared in our borders out of nowhere. Relating to what happened to me when I first came here I somehow doubt they'll have any previous memories as I'm sure they came from the same place as I did.
I get out the car to greet them, when they see me I see expressions of joy from their faces and body language.
"Black it's so nice to see you out here but unfortunately we have no idea where we are. I half expected an author to speak to me." Landon said with concern, sounding rather bewildered.
I can't blame him though, I was in the same boat as him, having no memories or any knowledge, and only getting memories of certain things when I encounter something specific. I intend to answer his question though.
"You're just outside the border of Lastation." I explained calmly.
"Is that like PlayStation Land?" He asked me in the same time.
"Yeah it is, it's a very nice place, very high tech, kinda utopia like." I replied with pride and confidence.
"Wow, the leader doesn't happen to be Noire by any chance? I think I barely remember her." He asked me with excitement in his voice.
"Yes, and she's such an amazing leader, very smart but very nice and caring and hardworking. I'll take you to her and her capital city, you'll love it." I explain with the same pride and enthusiasm in my voice.
"Cool, out of curiosity what are you doing here? Like how did you get here?" Tanya asked me.
That's what I want to know Tanya.
"I've no idea and honestly neither does Noire or Uni or Blanc, or Rom and Ram for that matter. Like you I arrived here, with no knowledge of my past, it's only after meeting them and experiencing flashbacks of my dreams that I have now knowledge of my past, and even now it's limited." I explained my tone emphasising how I wish I knew for sure.
"Hmmm, I guess we're in the same boat Black-kun. Still at least we'll be safe and since we're in a utopia we should be OK, we just need to find a way of learning about our past." Haruka noted calmly.
Learning about our past, she has a point here. I've never really tried or even focused on learning about our past, but then again I have experienced flashbacks. Though that's because I never had much chance to and is there a means to do so, instead I've been focusing on working with Noire to protect our land and our minds, while currently, we find a way to liberate Lowee. In other words trying to save this land from chaos and destruction. But perhaps learning of our past could help us in this conflict, or maybe the past at least has something to do with the conflict, as the memories I did have do indicate to what goes on now.
It is at this point that we all get in my car, they all marvel at the sight of my vehicle, they're amazed with how cool it really looks.
"What sports car is this Black? Is this yours?" He asked with amazement and astonishment.
"Yep it's a Hennessey Venom GT. Fastest car in Gameindustri." I spoke with much pride in my voice.
"Wow, how did you get that thing Black-kun?" The black haired school girl asked me absolutely stunned with amazement.
"Noire gave it me, she wanted to reward me for helping her out so much." I replied pride fully.
It is then we get in the car, putting our seat belts on. Just like with the exterior they were amazed with the interior of the car.
"These seats are very comfortable, ahhhh." The red haired young lady spoke, her body language enjoying her surroundings.
She then smiles as I notice Landon being attracted to Tanya. I switch the engine causing them to smile, as they enjoy the revving of the engine due to its noise and volume.
"Your car is wonderful." Haruka remarked in amazement.
I then accelerate back to Lastation where we talk. I drive at top speed before reaching the city, but I then slow down so my 3 friends can see all of the sights that Lastation has to offer. Even though I've seen it a few times, it never ceases to amaze me: the tall beautiful skyscrapers that are all different and have different lovely features, the lights on them that flash and form patterns. There's also the bill boards showing off the high tech products that are awesome and useful, the tunnels that are long and seemingly countless, and have curves, and go up and down. There's even the statues of our consoles and our leaders that are big, stunning and beautiful, along with the overall black near futuristic look.
"Wow you're right it does look like a utopia but isn't there any catches or any negative aspects to this place?" Landon asked bewildered while amazed with what he's seeing. Probably thinking this is too good to be true.
"Nah, not really because of Noire being such a brilliant leader there's no poverty, no crime, no starvation, no suffering, no pollution. Not even any dirt or rubbish in Lastation whatsoever. What you see is genuine" I explained casually and with reassurance in my voice.
"Wow I guess we are safe after all, even if we don't find out our past there's still here. All the advanced technology that is there, and there's more coming, I think we can live here forever." Haruka spoke with joy almost as though she's dreaming.
It's weird how this has happened before only this time I've taken Noire's role and they have taken mine.
"There is one problem though: we're at war." I spoke casually, as I didn't want to alarm them with this knowledge.
"A war? Against whom?" Tanya asked in a curious voice.
"Leanbox or more specifically Vert." I answered calmly.
"Why are we fighting her?" Landon asked confused but he may also be worried as I think he may remember her now I've mentioned her.
"It's down to Neptune brainwashing her." I said in the same tone.
"Neptune… I think I've heard that name before, but don't know much about her at all…But why would she do this?" Landon asked, as he clearly takes in what I told him.
Even though I would have thought he remember about how Neptune was even if he couldn't find any specifics, considering my reaction to her when I first knew her, I can understand why he'd say that. No doubt it's due to him being the one to try and get Neptune straight and didn't have as many encounters against her as we did, even if he wouldn't remember that now. In fact I notice just as I figured that they show signs of them not being familiar.
"Do you remember them at all in the past?" I ask them casually.
"No." They all said at separate times calmly.
"OK, well from what I can remember it all started in the past, in fact I know for a fact that we were all from somewhere else and it was that somewhere else where it all started. It all started with video game tournaments. Initially there were two teams: Team Lowee who were Blanc, Rom, Ram and White and the other team being Team Planeptune who were Neptune, Plutia, Nepgear and someone else who I can only assume to be Purple, I've not seen this Purple here but once in a flashback dream or I think it's him. Both teams fought each other in those tournaments to determine who are the best gamers.
In the end Team Lowee won constantly, it was then in the 5th tournament that Team Lastation came along who were Noire, Uni and me. We ended up winning, but it was then that we discovered that Team Planeptune grew more than bitter, more than angry. They started lashing out against the public, causing misery and destruction. Plutia alone caused numerous rapes against many innocent people.
We teamed up with Team Lowee to take them down and although we were successful every time, they still kept coming back somehow. They even tried to brain wash Vert but we rescued her. You guys were even selected to try and set Neptune straight but it didn't work. Somehow I along with the other CPUs and now you ended up here. And here it still goes on. It started here like before with two nations: Lowee and Planeptune fighting each other for 4 generations. In the 5th generation Lastation came along and helped Lowee due to knowing of Planeptune's true intentions, and finally Planeptune was defeated or so they initially thought when they came to Planeptune, and once there, they couldn't find the leaders anywhere.
Worse still, Blanc got brainwashed there causing both Noire and Blanc and their nations to fight each other. As if that's not bad enough Leanbox came in the 6th generation and they declared war on Lastation, not only that but they nearly won and it wasn't until I came that we were able to hold off two massive attacks against us. But even now we're still defending and just recently we had to deal with the fact that we have wiped out thousands, if not millions of enemies in one battle. As for Lowee thankfully we haven't fought them as such, and thanks to me I managed to smuggle the leaders and a few of their people here, but sadly it is at the expense of their own nation, and there's nowhere near the amount of Loweeans here as there originally was, in fact it's a tiny fraction.
So Lastation may be in great shape but it's the only place in Gameindustri that is in great shape. I only hope that we can bring peace here once more." I explain to them as calmly as I could while sounding concerned with how things are now.
I notice Landon sighing with frustration, after explaining to him what I remember. No doubt it concerns Neptune
"Some of what you told me is starting to come back to me. Oh Neptune why do you have be so warmongering? You cause so much chaos." Landon asked sounding fairly disappointed.
"Despicable." Tanya added with disgust in her voice.
"It's what I want to know. Or is it mere jealously along with how she wants fame without having to earn it" I agreed.
"Yeah it is coming back to me as well. Along with Neptune being bad though, I'm also starting to remember how much good stuff Noire-chan and Blanc-chan have done for our world, even if I can't remember specifics." Haruka says calmly.
We all nod in agreement to what Haruka says
"Indeed they have done much good, and being as you have helped us out in bringing us to Lastation, and being as how we all want peace I say we all help you in making that a reality." Landon said with optimism in his voice.
I appreciate that, it shows what good of a person he is, he arrives here, I explain the situation and already he is eager to help.
"Yeah I'm down with that." Haruka agreed with a smile.
"I guess it makes it unanimous." Tanya said kinda flirting with Landon.
"Thanks guys I appreciate it, now thing is I need to see how good your skills are in combat, when I first came here. Noire gave me a driving test but I'll first take you to her mansion and show you around. That building has got absolutely everything." I spoke with excitement and pride just like Noire does.
As if on cue I speak of Noire and then she speaks through the car radio.
"Hello and welcome to Lastation everyone, I hate to say this considering how I'm sure you want to catch up, but I need to show you something, it's urgent that you come as soon as you can." Noire spoke calmly but I can tell in her voice that it's quite serious.
"It's OK we're on our way." I replied to her in a friendly manner.
After which we then quickly head to where Noire is back at her mansion. It's not long before I park the car in the massive multi-story car park that brings us all much thrills.
"Talk about mansion Black. This place is huuuuuuge." Haruka remarked.
"It's so fun going up and up and up, I like the petrol smell in here. Yeah Lastation is a nice place, it's so high tech and grand and the things it has are so awesome." He agreed sounding enthusiastic.
"I wonder what Noire wants Black, do you think it's serious?" Tanya asked out of curiosity.
"I think so but we should be OK, I should tell you what I had to deal with since I came here some time." I reply casually and with confidence.
We then head up the lift and head to the floor where Noire is, while enjoying the view the lift provides along the way. Upon meeting her, everyone is smiling and happy to see each other.
"Greetings Lady Black Heart, it is an honour to meet you, your nation is very nice. I wish I could live here." Landon spoke politely and with amazement.
"Thank you so much for the compliment Landon, but you can call me and the other CPUs by their first names. Black we've got a serious situation here: Leanbox have placed two nukes near our border and I can be sure as the sun setting that they intend to destroy our cities, perhaps our entire nation." Noire spoke with concern in her voice while trying to remain calm.
"Don't you have any forms of defence against nuclear missiles? Or even any nuclear missiles of your own?" He asks her with curiosity in his voice.
"We have invisible domes that cover the entire border as well as lasers in space that can shoot nukes down, we also have our own nukes but unfortunately their nukes are of a new design, they can penetrate our domes and still cause serious damage, they also have laser armour, such that by the time our lasers can destroy them it will be too late. As for our nukes we can just as easily destroy Leanbox but it will mean a tremendous loss of life, far greater than the casualties we have inflicted today or the battle before today. Plus which even then there'll still be Lowee to retake and dormant Planeptune to deal with. I'm sure your talented author can explain to you the amount of Leanbox casualties already, I do not want a nuclear war as it will just be far too catastrophic, it's a shame her being brainwashed causes this." My girlfriend goddess spoke with deep concern despite trying so hard to calm herself, and it can be seen in her body language.
"What about our aircraft? I don't mean to sound stupid but can't we just use aircraft to take it down? Aren't your aircraft like stealthy and invisible and what not?" He asks trying to understand the reasons behind why I have to go out and take out the nukes.
"That's not stupid at all in fact you make a very valid point, if our aircraft can get past their anti-air defences, why not use them to take out their two nukes? It's because we have learned they have multiple brain wash facilities that brain wash anyone that comes within their radius. In fact it covers their entire bases that hold the nukes. If our bombers go there, they'll just convert to the enemy.
Fortunately though. I do have a solution but I need your help. I know you 3 are probably confused with where you are, and I know how you'd prefer to get back on your feet but would you 3 be willing to help me?" Noire asked in a friendly caring manner.
The trio all agreed in unison but they agreed that they're all concerned about the fact they may not be able to help, as they're worried they're not ready for combat. Which is completely understandable."…Don't worry about that my friends, when I first came here I was unsure if I had any useful skills but it wasn't long before I learned my skills as a soldier and racer were phenomenal, I'm at equal level with even Noire herself. I'm sure you three will be fine, besides which we'll watch your back." I said with confidence in my voice and body language.
"Yeah we discovered our own abilities, I'm sure it will be the same for you." White added sounding happy as well.
They then thank us in appreciation and smile a lot.
"Thank you for your help, it's highly appreciated. I promise to reward you my friends. OK the solution is we have EMP satellites which are capable of shutting down the brain wash facilities in the area but only temporarily, fortunately though this should be enough time for you 5 and our new troops to come in and destroy the nukes.
I want to stress that destroying the nukes will not harm you due to the physics of this universe concerning friendly fire, and also due to the physics of this world it won't unleash as big of an explosive if destroyed by us, as opposed to it being detonated by them. Furthermore these nukes are not as powerful due to having to compensate for being more resistant to laser, and being capable of punching through the domes we have, while retaining its fast speed. Despite this they are still a threat and can cause significant destruction to buildings and people and a significantly large area.
Furthermore I would send in planes after the EMP is used on the base, but then they'll be suspicious. They'll know that we're either watching them or they'll know that we have caused the brainwash facilities to shut down. We need to make it look like there has been an accident with the brain wash facilities shutting down, which would cause the patrols to have more free will, potentially causing them to defect as they're no longer being brainwashed.
So not only am I sending you lot in, you'll be disguised as Leanbox soldiers. If they know we took down their nukes as opposed to them thinking it's one of their own, it could prove disastrous. They absolutely cannot know of our surveillance or our EMP, as therefore they'll probably develop a counter measure, and then we will have definitely lost this war, due to the superiority in numbers that they have." Noire explains calmly, while ensuring we understand what she says which we do.
She's very clever, I have much confidence in this plan, I love her explanations, she's very thorough, and it's a relief to know that the blow up of the nuke won't cause any damage to us. While it will cause significant harm to Leanbox soldiers, along with radiation which will cause significant harm to who knows how many of them, we can't blame ourselves. I say this as like with the attacks it's either them or us, and even if they're innocent it's always better for the enemy to be dead than the allied to be dead, especially with what our intentions are in contrast to theirs. Besides which, if counter measures can be done in response to this, with more powerful lasers and stronger domes, then this should put them off using it, and therefore it will save a lot more lives in the long run.
"But Lady Black Heart, I mean Noire can you be sure the Leanbox troops would gain free will if the brain wash facilities were to shut down, even if they had free will wouldn't they still be loyal to Vert?" Tanya asks her sounding fairly concerned.
Admittedly that is something on my mind as well. She does bring up a good point with the way brainwashing works, can we be 100% sure they won't suspect us?
"That's a very good question Tanya, it's only today that we have managed to capture a handful of Leanbox troops, and after processing them we managed to get rid of their brain wash. They then wished to defect to us as well as to fight for us. But we had to kill them and revive them first to get rid of the brain washing. This means that even if the brain wash machine is off line they'll probably still be loyal to Vert anyway.
Fortunately though, I've learned that Black possesses strong free will, meaning that if he gets brain washed he's able to fight it. Therefore our Leanbox squad having free will should not make the enemy suspicious.
OK you'll be dropped off near the border where your primary objective will be to destroy the nukes, but ideally if possible don't kill anyone even if they could end up dying anyway, if you have to make sure there are no survivors, and finally when the nukes are destroyed one of your Leanbox friends will call for help, under the ruse of having a lot of free will that's desperate to defect.
Help will be led by 3 of our best warriors: Xingcai, Da Qiao and Zhen Ji, intelligence indicates that a group of the Leanbox elite codenamed: Jin Dynasty is in the area along with a few new deadly robots called Titans, they'll be on your tail and I want them taken down along with the nukes if possible. One more thing, to avoid suspicion we cannot give you any explosives even if they're from Leanbox, but we know that in the area there is an armoury full of explosives. Uni will be here to guide you via mind talk to Black, she'll be using the satellites so she can track the location of you guys and everyone in your area.
If this is successful while they'll be able to make more, before more can be made and be ready for use, the domes will be a lot stronger, and be more numerous, as will the laser will be more numerous and be more powerful to deal with this threat. Hopefully this will be the last time that Leanbox has the upper hand with regards technology and weapons of war, but even so I know I can count on my special units like you guys to deal with any such threat. OK everyone know what to do?" Noire asks in a caring manner, while explaining in a friendly manner.
We all nod yes to her after quickly explaining to the new trio of friends what mind talk is.
"Ok wonderful, I'll take you to your Leanbox squad." She said with enthusiasm.
She leads us to the armoury where the Leanbox squad is already kitted out in their uniforms, and carrying their original sniping weapons. We then kit ourselves with the appropriate weaponry and disguises. Being as how it's the first time I've seen my 3 friends here, let alone do an operation with me in which I wonder if they feel nervous or confident inside, I'm curious to know what weapons they have. I decide to pick up the 60 round M5AB assault rifle. White then picks up a Sniper rifle which is the 99C-S2 Anti Material, as for Landon he picks up an M7 Caseless Sub machine gun which has 60 rounds, while Tanya picks up two M6D Personal Defense Weapon System pistols, each containing 12 rounds. Haruka meanwhile chooses an M90 shotgun which houses 12 rounds.
All the weapons we have I recognise and know that they have come from the X Box series Halo. Upon obtaining our weapons we then get changed to our Leanbox disguises, which is just various Leanbox uniforms and our hair colour changes to blond, for some reason I couldn't help but notice how Tanya looks familiar: she wears an olive green tank top, dog tags, a watch, woodland camouflage trousers and army boots and she also carries dual pistols. Who does she remind me off?... I don't know maybe it'll get back to me, she says a few random phrases like "yeah baby" or "shake it baby" or even "locked and loaded", she even laughs in a distinctive manner. I notice Landon and Haruka not minding her antics it's unusual but I like it, she's unwittingly being someone I should know, it's a pity I forget who. Cursed amnesia.
After getting our gear and experiencing Tanya… being a distinctive Tanya we go back to Noire ready for our final briefing. I decide to look at my 3 new friend's expressions. They show determination, curiosity but thankfully no fear, the same goes for our former Leanbox troops. Excellent because then this means that they will be at their best in defeating the enemy.
"Everyone I appreciate you lot being happy to do this for us but if you want you can decline this mission, you don't have to do this, we won't think any less of you, after all my Leanbox friends it is a lot to ask you guys to fight against your nation. As for you my 3 friends I do feel as though I'm chucking you into the deep end with this, considering how you've just got here and you've never fought before. Are you sure you wish to accept this mission?" Noire asks us out of genuine care and concern for us.
"Wonderful thank you guys so much, I shall personally reward you handsomely. Before you go I have some drinks to give you, it's important you drink from every bottle, they're perk a colas designed to improve your capabilities in battle. They can increase your reload speed, increase your health, increase the maximum amount of what you can carry, they can speed you up, improve your accuracy so it's 100% and you can survive any fall no matter how high it is . Finally if you're to die in battle, I can revive you back from the dead with the snap of my fingers. Unfortunately if any of you are to be revived, the effects of the drinks will be gone and you'll have to drink these drinks again to get them back. Did you good people get any of that?" Miss Lastation explained in a friendly clear manner.
We all nod our heads enthusiastically and when we nodded in our understanding ,she give us the drinks and we pass them around ensuring we all have a drink from each bottle. I notice Landon's enthusiasm as he knows where the bottles come from, of course some of them feel awkward that every time they have a drink they burp afterwards, we reassure them that it always happens though. After we've all had a drink from each bottle, Noire says some final words before we head out and do our duty for Lastation and the whole universe here.
"Once again I have extremely grateful for your help, and I have no doubt that this mission will be horrible considering the loss of lives from the Leanbox troops, and the fallout damage. But it is imperative that these nukes get taken out or we could lose this war and with it our lives, our hope and our nation, not least these nukes would cause far far more devastation if allowed to be launched. I wish you the best of luck everyone, I'm very confident you will succeed we will be with you all the way as always, I'll take you lot to your transport." She said as calmly as she could despite the importance of this mission and the tragic casualties that is to come.
And so she takes us to the multi-story car park. Despite the potential stress of having to deal with a mission of great importance, in which all of our lives are at stake here, along with the stress on what we'll have to encounter, I am relaxed and confident that we will be able to do our mission and succeed. After all, we all have Uni as our wonderful guide, our perk bottles and our skills, plus which me and White are as powerful as CPUs and while Landon, Tanya and Haruka's skills may be unknown, I'm pretty sure their skills will be exceptional and I'm also sure that as gamers or as main characters, they'll probably have plenty of health anyway. Who dares wins, let's do this!
