Chapter 171: Salburst

After I couple of harder slaps and some harder squirting, and I pulled her panties up and made her stand, as much as I would like to bend her over right here, I could hear the girls coming back. Sudden, Aquina latched on to my arm and then transformed, sticking to my leg in her pistol form.

//MISSION COMPLETED: Total Points: 1 [HMSP: Tsu]/ 5 [SP]

Well, It wasn't like Aquina had her own MAS unit, she was essentially from a different game and ran off a different System. Maybe I could integrate her into...wait, Salburst was here…

My attention was turned to Tama, who was holding what looked like a galaxy trapped inside a ten-pin bowling ball. I had completely forgotten that they were bringing my Core; well, that changed everything, according to my downloaded memories, I can control and fuse any MAS units. So that means I can change the shape…

"Girls, are you all ready to get the hell out of this game? We have four jobs to finish before leaving, and this time we will all work together."

"You had better not leave us out this time, stop trying to baby us!" Iona growled.

"None of us was to be shipped off again, that wasn't fair! We know there could be casualties, but we are here because we all believe in you, trust in us!" Sasha explained.

"Yes Yes, I know, I have been trying to get my head screwed on the right way since the start of the last game, and I keep getting hit with more stuff. So, first, the coral is marked on the map and then I need to go deal with Fiori and the rest of the Wraiths. Then, we need to eliminate all Unlife, Wrexallian, or Wraith here on Xeno, and then we will move off the world and take the assault to Wrexal, The Unlife homeworld. Everything is about to start moving fast just like in the last game and mini-game; slow build-up to sprint the home stretch. One last thing, Irellia is still out there, infected by the Unlife, we kill on sight, no questions or talking."

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, and now was the time to change the mood, but no skill points yet. I had one more Harem System mission to complete, but I really wanted a couple more before we left the game. It would be best to be able to give everyone a point before the next game so even if it was random everyone would have an advantage. 

I walked over to Tama and leaned in to give her a kiss, it really felt forever since I had seen her, so I pulled her in close with my Core between us. After I separated from her Tama offered up the Core, and I took Salburst from her, but as I did, I heard a vaguely familiar voice.

"Were you just going to forget about me, Great Hero?"

A man that I assumed was Greg walked out wearing a grey hooded robe and pulled it back to reveal an old man. Woah, not what I was expecting! Wrinkles on wrinkles, this guy looked like a freeze-dried turd.

"Greg? Man, what the hell happened to you? You look like the supreme raisin King!"

"Thanks, this is what happens when You lose your harem, now I am an immortal bag of bones, that mini-game was my first time out in a while. I was you before I lost, Star Strider, but when they all died...His avatar left me and I was left with my powers, but this husk of a body. Then the war happened and I just decided to leave, find an asteroid to sit and wait."

I couldn't imagine losing them all without going with them, that wasn't winning, but I understood what he was waiting for. I didn't need his help anymore, Mom had my back with the questions now, but I could do this one thing for him. I turned to the girls and signaled them to leave without me, and they all left.

"Next game, play a single-player game, you have the choice don't you?"

"Yeah…"

"Good, don't make me come looking for you, because I will be watching in the future."

I let my body suck in the Dynam around me and gathered it into my fist. I smashed my fist into his chest and then instantly released a massive energy shockwave that tore his body apart at the atomic level, shaking the city. The short pain he felt was nothing to what the rest of his group must have felt, I wonder if he skipped the cavern? It was long past now, I hope I didn't over do it.

I held Salburst in my hand, dropping the one I had just used to destroy Greg, it was time. 

'Long time no see, let's fight together again! I may not be the original Valthan, but I have his memories.' 

As I sent my thoughts, Salburst rolled up my Starfire veins, and onto my chest. Once there the galaxy melted onto my chest and covered my body in a galactic coat that my memories just couldn't do justice. I was like I was Space, The Dave. Looking over my body was no different than looking into space, that same endless vast feeling that you could never see the end of where you looked.

I turned to see that Diamond was down on one knee with head bowed. I took the hand, but Diamond began to disassemble, and absorb into me. That's right, Star Strider's specialty is controlling MAS and absorbing Dynam, so this is normal...Yup, normal, according to the freakin download! I kind of missed the pause, but only a tiny bit.

Diamond was now part of me, and now it was time to build a crazy massive monster and have my girls pilot it with me. This would take at least a minute to think up…

'I have a suggestion.' -Tequila.
