Suddenly, A loud noise went off, and the entire place went silent. It was eerie to see such a large crowd go quiet, but the menacing face I noticed pushing out of the storm made me understand why it was so easy. Over ten meters tall, the face looked robotic, so I assumed it was the face of The God, Alexander.
"Welcome, From across the galaxy, I am excited to see so many eager souls. Who will come out on top? Today is the last day of this life; let the sands decide if tomorrow will be the start of your next!"
Abruptly the massive face faded, and the invisible wall came down. The racer's erupted in cheers as the storm pulled back to reveal fifteen meter high walls that created paths in different directions. Seventy percent of the racers rushed forward, and a wave of monsters like creatures being ridden and tons of mech-like MAS units poured into the maze.
"You were right; it looks like the more experienced racers are all waiting back, but what are we waiting for?"
"Just wait; you'll see why we wait. The bastards are always waiting for the people to stop entering the maze. Do you see that last set of groups? Watch them, and you will see what I mean once they walk in... Wait for..."
Suddenly, I could feel the ground tremble, and people started to scream up ahead as massive sand snake erupted from the ground. The crowds were massacred by the hundreds pre second, as Element Sand Snakes that all had to be monstrous class devoured the races with a ceaseless hunger. Five minutes and the massive stone rows filled with blood and corpses of the fallen racers. Over sixty percent of the racers had to be dead; the rest were running for their lives from the snakes.
"Well, Kyrina, I think you can handle this, right? You carry Tarclaw, and Ill take Kret; we will go full bore right off the hope, so there are no worries, and we can all make it no problem. These sand wurms are not a problem for us, as long as you two, don't mind riding with us."
"A free ride through the gauntlet? Kret, are you complaining?"
"Honestly, at this point, I would agree as long as the day ended in Y, haha."
"One more thing, not that I don't trust you, It's just that im not an idiot. Any hostile actions or thoughts you have inside Diamond or Kyrina will land you with an instant death from the suit itself. Just a forewarning, so mistakes aren't made."
Both nodded to me like this was nothing, and I was glad because I was mostly buffing, mostly. Diamond would eat Kret, and im sure Kyrina had her defense if she could have passengers. For her, I was different; she was the MAS in this situation.
"Ok, let's... I don't know what to call it; I wasn't given any catchy lines, hehe,"
"Let's become the impossible!" Kyrina cheered as she began to expand and change.
I followed suit and started my changing process, letting Diamond take over until we were both about five meters tall, towering over the cat the were half our size. I reached down a metal hand with the palm up and then raised it back up to Diamond's chest once Kret had hoped on. Kyrina was a giant version of herself that kneeled and put out her hands to make steps for Tarclaw to climb up inside.
Diamond open and created a spot on the wall that was covered in Acura-Gel. When Kret got in, I directed him to the area behind me, there was a bit of room inside of Diamond, but it was still a tight squeeze for him to get by. Once Kret stood against the wall, the gel moved around him and wrapped him up.
Kret seemed fine at first, but once the gel started to wrap around him. The claws came out, but they caused no effect as the gel moved around to seal him in place.
"What is this stuff?! What are you doing to me, man?"
"Calm yourself; it's Acura-Gel. It will hold you in place when we start doing crazy things. Kret, Do you get sick easily?"
"Crazy Things?! I have the strongest stomach of all my brothers!"
"I hope so; hold onto that pride, Kret! I'm switching over to radio now, so just sit back and enjoy the ride."
I closed my eyes and felt the connection to Diamond strong; he was ready to go and drew a massive Katana from his back, our back. The link made us whole and allowed me to control all the functions available with his help.
/Alta, can you track the best possible route for us? Kyrina, how is it with Tarclaw? All settled in?
//Confirmed, Tarclaw is glued in place, and we are ready to test how well he can handle the rollercoaster, hehe! -Kyrina.
//Confirmed, best possible route mapped, estimated escape time 5 minutes. ERROR, additional passenger not under gravity restrictions, must adjust time... Total estimated time is eighteen minutes
Wow, it was supposed to take two to four hours to complete this, but Diamond was disappointed that we couldn't finish in five minutes or less. I felt bad for the sand snakes a bit, they expected to be at the top of the food chain, but I was about to change that view. Maybe I didn't need to bring Kret and Tarclaw, but I like them, and I think they had their hearts in the right place, but we would see.
I was sync now and no longer standing in the mounting rig that held my flesh in place inside Diamond. We were Diamond now, and I had the Katana in my hands and could feel my body light up and fill with crackling energy begging to be released. I turned to Kyrina, and she held her dual tiger claw daggers, ready to sprint forward; others had already started to move now.
"Let's become the impossible!"
