Chapter 6: First Dive: Running Wild

Bubblegum was Fast. Twenty minutes is all it took to cover a distance that would have taken two hours on any other Mount. 

The Gate guard of the Southern Border was Afraid of the Sudden Appearance of a massive Sabertoothed Deertiger, Especially one so pink it seemed to glow like a Neon Sign. But upon realizing it had a rider, He lowered his Spear, which would have been little more than a toothpick for Bubblegum, And showed Wary Respect.

Minutes later, they crossed the gate, And took off. Anything that got in the way was either Shot by Elissa or Shredded by Bubblegum... she gained Several levels as they ran, Easily Reaching lv 10 by the time they met a challenge.

She literally Couldn't Miss anymore. She tested out a new Attachment, Element Shells... These Were Bullets that could be Charged with Various Magic types, And Explode on Contact... but Couldn't be used With the Silencer. They thought they Were Unstoppable... until the Hill Ahead Started moving.

"Well... this may be a problem. Bubblegum, think you can dodge all its attacks? It seems really slow, but..."

The beast Simply Nods, And sprints toward the Monster.

When they arrived, it was ignoring a group of Four, All who seemed relatively high level, And it Roared when it saw them. Specifically, When it saw Bubblegum. A new notification appeared, Visible to Elissa, And The four Other Players .

A voice suddenly Echoed in her head.

<Hey, Miss Elissa. Arven is my name. I dont mean to be rude, but what class is Detective?>

It took her a few minutes to figure out how to respond...

<That's my buisness. I won't be telling Strangers my Secrets.>

<that's fair, but we need to know what you can do. We can't work out a strategy otherwise.>

<High-speed, Ranged combat. You focus on your own survival. My Mount and I Will draw its Attention. Attack from behind. "WHOA!"> This last part was Said aloud as well, Due to Bubblegum Unceremoniously dropping Her to the ground, before lunging at the Tortoise.

<Scratch That. Apparently HE will Draw its attention. WELL. Time to start Hunting, I suppose. Try not to Hit my Ride.>

The fight was On. Elissa settled into a rhythm of Shoot, dodge, repeat... The other players doing similar. But the Tortoise was Wily, And its Health Bar, Made Visible by One of Vincent's Skills, was barely down to half After two hours... Their Guard was Slacking... and The tortoise took Advantage of it. Its Huge Rear Foot Came Rushing Down toward Louise, the Weakest of the Party... Surprisingly, Elissa Acted, being the only one to notice.

"Oh, this Is going to Hurt." She loaded Six Blast Shells, Charged With Ice and Darkness magic... And Aimed at the ground beneath her feet. The explosion Rocketed her forward, And she Slammed into Louise... Both rolling Out of the way at high speed. She Rolled into a crouch, And Quickly Fired the other Five Shells, followed by a ton of bullets, At the leg. She was Overjoyed when she saw the leg Disappear in a bloody Haze... the Tortoise Screamed, And so Did Louise. The impact had caused the Broken Limb Status effect.

"Hold Still." Elissa loaded White Shells into her gun... Took Aim at Louise, Scaring her,and fired... the light magic, Angellic Heal, Was imbued on those... combined, They restored her Hp and Healed the Breaks.

"Sorry, Its faster this way."

The girl stopped screaming. As she turned back to fight, she felt a warm Feeling engulf her. Her Hp, Reduced by two thirds, was rapidly Healing. The Girl, louise, Smiled at her. "Thanks for the Assist. And the Scary Healing."

"No Problem. Now... back to the hunt." Elissa ran toward the Now Three legged Tortoise... not noticing The blushing Blonde Girl she left behind.

"Such a Brave Hero... I think I'm in love... Not a bad Ass, Either." Louise Quickly took a Screenshot, that would be saved in her Neural Implant, Then Smiled and Refocused on her Party, all three of whom desperately needed healing... "sigh. Boys. Such Idiots. I understand Arven And Kain, but why did Vincent Run in?"

The fight took two more hours... and ended when, With a few well placed shots to distract it from Elissa, Bubblegum Got His Teeth into the Tortoises Throat.

"Sigh. Fine." Elissa entered a Name.

The Players were approaching her, As Bubblegum Unceremoniously began eating The Tortoise. His stats were rapidly increasing, and he had a new skill, Gigant Eater. 

"So this is going to happen Again Elsewhere? Just great. Why are they Approaching me?"
