Chapter 1203 We'll Steal From Them Instead



Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

----------------------

Falco was a bit astonished but was happy to be alive nevertheless. However, something began to bug him after a couple of minutes of being awake.

He could no longer feel Dark Falco. 'Hey Darko, are you there? Answer me,' 

No matter how much he tried, there was no reply. It was like Dark Falco had dissappeared. 

"How long have I been out?" Falco inquired. 

"It's been two days," Teemee replied.

"Two whole days? What the hell?" Falco face showed surprise. 

"Be grateful that you're even alive. Gustav explained to us how the Draconets captain ability worked and it felt like you shouldn't have even survived that," Teemee said with a sincere tone. He was still surprised even till now.

Bang!

A figure descended upon the head of a massive arthropod looking light brown creature, blasting a hole through it.

Blood and all sort of internal organs flew in every direction as the figure stepped out of the hole on the creature's head.

"That's the last of them," Gustsv said to the others around him.

"Man, things sure have gotten easier since the group got back together," E.E voiced as he snapped his finger, causing a Violet colored egg to fall out of a vortex above Gustav.

Gustav caught the three feet large egg with his right arm and proceeded to keep it in his storage device.

Swwwoosshhh~

A green blur sped towards them from the east and arrived before Gustav.

"Captain, there are no more eggs left within a one hundred and fifty miles radius," The participant with green hair had around six eggs of different colors piling in his grasp which towered over him.

[Gravitational Manipulation Has Been Activated]

The eggs began floating, freeing the teammate from the difficulty of stabilising them.

"Good job Wong," Gustav voiced as he tapped on his storage button.

Zing! Zing! Zing! Zing!

The eggs dissapeared in the next instant as everyone else began gathering around Gustav.

"Although captain, I don't see why we are gathering eggs we don't need," Wong voiced with a conflicted tone.

"We'll need them for the last week of the challenge," Gustav replied.

"How?" Wong asked once more.

"You'll see when the time comes," Gustav responded with a small smirk.

The others who were more familiar with Gustav could more or less tell what Gustav had in mind and as usual it was something cunning. 

"Let's head back to the designated point for now," Gustav instructed.

"It must have been really smooth sailing for you before the group got together," Glade said to Wong as they began their journey back to the designated point. 

"What? Why do you say that?" Wong questioned as they sped side by side.

"Because you don't understand why Gustav needs those useless eggs... You definitely didn't get chased or accosted by other participants who wanted your egg," Glade spoke with a slight look of ridicule. 

Wong still had a look of confusion even after hearing that.

"The useless eggs are mostly going to be used to deter teams that come after us in the future with the intention of taking our eggs," Endric voiced from above.

He was standing atop an invisible floating platform that flew forward, right above Glade and Wong.

"Ohhhh," Wong had a look of realisation mixed with contemplation after hearing that.

"He definitely didn't have to battle any greedy participants off. I and Teemee even had to deal with those stinking Xionsis," Glade stated.

"I and Aildris had a group of Flokis chasing us for days too," E.E who was being lifted princess style by Elevora as they flew yelled from above as well.

Aildris chuckled as he recalled their experience, "E.E got stripped," He voiced. 

"Hey hey foul man you were supposed to keep it between both of us," E.E yelled with a look of injustice.

"Hahaha I wanna hear more about this. How did it happen?" Matilda cackled from the side.

As Aildris narrated, Elevora couldn't help but chuckle causing E.E to yell out more in injustice.

The group recounted their experiences on their way over to the designated point, bring laugher in most cases as some were hilarious and some were really so serious it had the group stunned.

"Gustav what about you? Anything interesting happen while you were waiting for us?" Abestos questioned.

"Haha its Gustav, of course many interesting things definitely happened with him," Matilda voiced.

"The trouble magnet himself," E.E added with a chuckled.

"I found another dimension within the fourth disk," Gustav voiced from up ahead as he maintained the same speed with the group.

"Wait what?"

"Bruhhh I fucking knew it!"

The group was both astonished and unsurprised at the same time. It was Gustav after all. He always got into all sorts of situations. 

"Handler one didn't mention anything about another dimension though," Vera's face showed a contemplative look.

"There are lots of Viondur eggs in that dimension," Gustav voiced once more causing their astonishment to turn into confusion.

"Viondur Eggs? Or eggs required to make a viondur egg?" Elevora inquired.

"Ready made Viondur Eggs," Gustav responded. He initially didn't want to tell the others about this but he decided that there was no point in keeping it from them.

They wondered if the Handler didn't mention anything about it due to the already created Viondur Eggs and not wanting the participants to get off easy.

"Then why aren't we heading there instead of gathering required eggs?" Yonda yelled with a look of dissatisfaction. 

"Because there is no real means of getting in. There's a layer of protection on the way there that erases things from existence the moment they try to get past that point," Gustav explained.

"Ekk! It erases anything?" Sheila had a slightly fearful expression.

"Yes," Gustav replied.

"Then how did you get in?" FIldhor inquired. 

"I moved too fast for the layer to successfully erase me completely, although I did lose an arm," Gustav responded once more.

They were all shocked since everyone knew that right after Angy, Gustav was the fastest in the group yet he lost an arm.

"That's... how fast were you moving?" Ria asked.

"Around one thousand five hundred times faster than the speed of sound," Gustav gave them a rough estimate.

"Yeah no way in hell any of us are getting past that layer," E.E instantly gave up upon hearing that.

"Can we just use spatial abilities?" Abestos questioned. 

Endric initially wanted to mention the use of spatial abilities but he realised Gustav would have already mentioned it if it was plausible. 

"Won't work. You can only use it within and outside of the dimension but you cannot use it to get in or out of it," Gustav shook his head.

Although he knew there was most likely another way to get in due to the Diaporonian candidate that somehow ended up in there but he decided not to mention this since he hadn't figured it out.

The group soon arrived back at the designated point to see that Falco had regained consciousness. 

"Man you were out for some time but you didn't miss much," E.E instantly began chatting with Falco upon their return.

The group brought out the rest of the required colored eggs they had gathered and began placing them in the machine.

Soon they had acquired another two Viondur Eggs which Gustav proceeded to keep in his storage device.

"How many Viondur Eggs have we gathered in total now?" Falco questioned.

"Seventeen," Gustav responded. 

"Seventeen!?" Falco had a shocked expression on his face as he voiced out.

"Yeah, Gustav managed to find a dimension with already created Viondur Eggs and got a couple from there, added with the ones we all gathered separately and together," Matilda counted with her fingers as she elaborated.

The group sat together and began plotting their next step from here. There was no doubt that they had gathered quite the sum but they still needed more since they were unaware of how much other teams had gathered currently. 

-"We need to leave this region completely and explore another one," 

-"While I agree with that, by tomorrow the scoreboard will appear again to show the number of eggs every planet has gathered so far," 

-"If we acquire more eggs than everyone, we become a target,"

-"We should take our time..."

"We don't really have time to laze around since the eggs are limited. Let's keep gathering eggs but we won't make any more Viondur eggs till after tomorrow," Gustav decided to go with what he did a week ago.

The group decided to go with that and decided on which direction to head in. During their time at the designated point, a few participant had approached but didn't misbehave after seeing their numbers.

"If we end up being the planet with the highest number of eggs after tomorrow's scoreboard revelation, we will need a place to lay low," Falco voiced.

"I thought of that too initially but no, let's not do that unless the gap is insurmountable. We'd be giving others the chance to increase their eggs while hiding ourselves," Gustav shook his head.

"If they wanna steal from us... we'll steal from them instead," Gustav stated.
