Chapter 159: Self Skill Point

I woke up with both girls tucked into either side of my arms, feeling their naked bodies pressed into mine. It was a great feeling to have them tight to me, but and orange light was flashing. As much as I wanted to stay there, duty called; I pulled myself up and squeezed from the girls who showed no sign of getting up. 

That was fine; I assumed this orange light meant we were at Xeno, but orange was a weird color. It didn't mean danger, but it also didn't mean it was safe. I grabbed a towel and then left the room; outside, Alex and Alterion were both stand and waiting for me. I was a bit surprised to see them in the...hologram…

"So, Orange, what does that mean?"

"Cation."

"He means to us right now! Do you always have to be so stiff? The orange means there is something in the way of us getting to the planet. Thirty dreadnought whales and three Behomoth classed squid things!"

"Aahh, definitely seems like an orange moment. Listen, guys, I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say that Cernel Prime here signaled the warned and then blocked you from changing it, right Alta?"

"Affirmative."

"So, Alex, are you going out there to fight them?"

"No, you will with your pup and my mobile fortress with absorb into you, that should be more than enough. I just sit here and let everyone know where you are and how long you will be."

"How do you know how long it's going to take?"

"Well, since that about thirty minutes away from being in firing range, I will count from there."

Ugh, Alexander was getting his smart ass personality back that my memories told me was always there.

"Fine, but wake me up sooner next time!"

"You looked like you were comfortable; I calculated the best possible time to wake you up and us having at least a fifteen percent chance of surviving if you hurry."

I turned and ran, stupid asshat, I didn't doubt his calculation for a minute, but he didn't know everything. 

Mom, can I have that skill point?

"Star Strider? What is going on with you?"

I was lit up! The veins were burning Starfire, all the colors of fire at once, and I was tuned. My body moved like I was wearing a Diamond right now; I felt unstoppable. I turned back to Alex and smiled.

"I think you can adjust our percentage of surviving this."

Then I turned back and walked to Diamond, who was already open and waiting for me to enter. I turned and stepped inside, letting the suit close around me, but then I started to move for the airlock. 

I could feel Diamond itching to change because of my new crazy boost, so I popped the lock as soon as the hatch sealed. I was jettisoned out into open space, and I could see and blue ball in the distance, but there were a lot of glowing green lights heading my way. Those are the bad guys, I thought to myself with a laugh as I let Diamond change.

It was hard to notice the difference except for when I almost bumped into the ship I just got out of with my hip. WOAH, I was big! I could literally pick up the ship with my hand, but I digress; Mom, you and Alta take care of the fancy thing, and we will do the rest.

The rush of messages made it hard to see what was going on as I was wrapped by a golden yellow spider. The mobile fortress settled around me and the legs started to fire massive pulses of blue energy into the on-coming Unlife. The effect was epic.

As the globs of blue energy hammered into the fleet of sickly glowing monsters, they set off a series of explosions, catch the others trying to feel. Thirty Dreadnaughts and one Behemoth disappeared from my radar, leaving only the two remaining squid things. One was in terrible shape, part of the ship was already missing from the explosions, but the other still looked like it could do some damage. 

//RELEASING MOBILE FORTRESS

I broke away from the spider and disappeared into space, and in less than two heartbeats, I had pulled out my Naginata handle and charge it, and now I was standing thousand of kilometers behind the two giant space squid. I turned to watch them each get glowing lines in the centers and then explosions blossoming around the lights, causing a massive explosion.

As I watched the things explode, I had trouble figuring out what just happened. I could even see the ship anymore; hell, I was almost to Xeno, but then that distracted me, and I decided to do a little sightseeing before everyone else arrived. I was pretty sure I would be sufficient for re-entry in Diamond.

//Yes, you will be fine, Diamond will change the form, and Alta and I will assist you in landing safely -Tequila.

Mom, was that you that made that attack?

//I was Alta, Diamond, and myself, but now you are the captain, Star Strider, so we will take care of most simple tasks, like fighting. You need to take care of the important ones, like seducing the queen of the Wraiths

Seduce? Hey! I am just supposed to convince her to come...oh...visions of the Wraith came back into my vision, but then I shook my head. Nope, I would do this and get it done. After that, I would save this damn planet, kick the Unlife in the balls, and get to my next game!
