Chapter 99: The Golden Valkyrie

The massive wall that guarded and shielded Meng's empire from the world was now under fire. Two wild and crazy fellows were shooting and zooming around the main gate. A few minutes passed and Meng's hidden army started to appear. Soldiers equipped with Pseudo-Skeletons started to defend the wall.

The attackers were equipped with two technologies that made them unstoppable. The first technology was SPU's "Ghost technology."

This was a combination of cloaking and the usage of deceptive illusions and mirages. This technology made SPU the most dangerous nation in terms of guerrilla warfare. It was said that SPU's cloak and mirage technology had surpassed every other nation by at least a half a century.

SPU cloaking technology proved too strange for the soldiers as they would see mirages and realistic illusions of the two appearing and attacking. When the soldiers would shoot these illusions, the pair would suddenly appear and shoot their enemies disarming or wounding the soldiers.

The Pseudo-Skeletons could not take on the hits as the Pangean Eradicating bullets left their armor vulnerable as time passed. Even those with Exoskeletons, they would have to hide behind their walls for cover as the relentless barrage of these two seemed unending.

Aside from these two technologies, the most troublesome was the  Americas Miscellaneous Boosting tech dubbed as the Hawk Rider.

The Hover Boards that appeared during the Continental War became an instant success and gave soldiers without Exoskeletons or Pseudo-Skeletons to fight back against more dangerous opponents. The fast-moving and mobile dash added with the cloaking and mirage technology made the two unstoppable.

The former SPU mercenaries displayed their expertise in their wild movement. As they had reached Unbecoming, their former wild nature had only grown greater. Like two surfers who surfed on the waves of fire, bullet, and explosions, the crazed and excited cries of the two could be heard.

Compared to Lynd and Meryl's superior movements  during their raids and attacks during and prior to the Australian Avarice,  these two mercenaries showed extreme experience.

It was becoming more obvious that these two intruders needed someone on the same level as a Dragon's Fang to kill them. But of course, these soldiers weren't just about to give up.

BOOM!

A large explosion enveloped the area as several jet-powered Exoskeleton fired their barrage ruthlessly.

Magnetic technology was brought about because China fell into a perilous time during the previous wars as gasoline, oil and other resources to make their weapons and ammo becoming more and more scarce. This urged the Chinese to seek out a more sustainable technology and to discover a way to reuse or recycle their ammunition.

The Metallic Bomb was a heavy metal orb which was designed to 'split' and 'shatter' upon contact. Then using magnetic technology, these orbs would be pulled back to the Exoskeleton allowing the soldiers to retrieve and 'reform' the orb. A single metallic bomb could be used over four times and still be capable of destroying another Exoskeleton.

With that, the Chinese were bolder and more "wasteful" in shooting these metallic orbs.

The two attackers barely escaped as they used hoverboards to evade the attacks.

"Exoskeletons. Damn. With that firepower, even we can't leave unscathed!" Peters grumbled as he gazed to the sky. They were about to break through the gates but the Exoskeletons stopped them.

Several red Exoskeletons hovered in the air as some of the Jet-Powered Exoskeletons were circling back.

"I wonder if she could deal with it?" Lynda wondered.

"Right. We haven't seen her fight have we?" Peters smiled.

"That kid with the glasses seemed confident. She should be alright. We'll just have to watch and see." Lynda sighed as she opened a bottle of beer.

"She's finally making her move!" Peters observed as a gold figure flew towards the main gate.

The Exoskeleton's became the norm in warfare. It was easier to build and had the capability to act as both tanks and jets. It was mobile and soon became a standard weapon of war.

But as the wars continued, each country would decide to add their own twist to these creations. The most daring versions came from the East Asian Alliance. The Skin-Plated Exoskeleton was stronger than a Pseudo-Skeleton but weaker than an average Exoskeleton in terms of armor and destructive power.

During World War 3, many laughed at their poor design stating that using such thin armors and focusing on nimbleness, flexibility, and speed was pointless considering each nation already had the means to easily target it.

But as the war progressed, the enemies of the East Asian Alliance were all being easily routed as these metal ninjas infiltrated their base, dismantled their Armors and Exoskeletons and even high jacked some of their aircraft. But these were only made possible because these apparently frail Exoskeletons were equipped with one of the EAA's most secretive and guarded science; Barrier Technology.

Although barrier technology was one of the sciences that Lennox had yet to procure, combining Lennox's collection of sciences and Harker's collection through his Programmed Slaves, reverse engineering Skin-Plated technologies and creating something similar became possible. With the short time allotted, Lennox delivered a most intriguing product which Arthur had demanded from his father.

As the gold figure dashed towards the wall, the Exoskeletons detected it and fired their cannons. But the pilot of this suit was already used to the high-speed battles even before she became Unlocked. It easily evaded the attacks of the Exoskeletons as it flew faster and zipped through the air.

Finally, it started to attack.

The large spear that it was carrying was poised to be thrown. As the Skin-Plated warrior flung her spear, the spear immediately disappeared. It moved so fast that nobody could even see or detect where it went.

Seven Exoskeletons that were once hovering over the air had fallen down. As these seven fell, a small stake like-metal could be seen hurrying back towards the Gold warrior.

The small stakes had reformed back to a long spear which the warrior carried. The enemies started attacking when a blazing bright light appeared as the warrior raised her shield.

Pangean Everbright flash blinded the unsuspecting enemies and zoomed forward.

The transforming spear would randomly appear on the Exoskeletons, some even fought not knowing they were bleeding to death and only discover a large hole in their suits afterward. No one could catch up with the golden light of this warrior.

Soon, a soldier on the wall stopped shooting and realized what he saw before him. He didn't recognize it at first but after a few minutes of observation, the familiarity of the scene before him made him realize it. The beautiful and undeterred battle style could only be her.

The agreement with the Chinese Government allowed Arthur's team to procure several of the features of their coveted magnetic technology. The Spear was built with a more advanced version of the metallic bombs. It used roughly the same level of magnetic technology that Sting used.

The Skin-Plated Exoskeleton was also equipped with SPU cloaking and mirage techs. This allowed the warrior to fool her enemies. When they thought and could see the warrior throwing her spear, it was actually already done a few seconds back and what they witnessed was a delayed illusion. The spear was equipped with Pangean Eradicating technology and so it would not blow up or explode but simply pierce through.

And so, the collaboration of technology allowed a fictional character to come to life.

Lynda and Peters looked at it in shock. As they've been playing Piercing for the past days, seeing such a magnificent sight caused them to marvel.

"It's like... the one in the game!"

"Valkyrie! It's Piercing Valkyrie!" A learned soldier of Meng's army cried in shock.

Kristine brought to life the beloved character which she specialized in. LordChokeMeSenpai, had also transcended from the gaming world to the real one. The world of E-sports had already made her  skilled in timing, instantaneous reactions, and even a sixth sense that she commanded during battle.  And with all this, she displayed tremendous ferocity that surpassed the two mercenaries.

The Exoskeletons would sometimes be "pulled" by the stakes or pushed further back causing the attacking Exoskeletons to end up with friendly fire.

The high-speed action of the Piercing series was something that was described as 'a challenging evolution in the gaming world.' The skills you needed to play this game involved high-speed reflexes and eyes that could see through the blur. It was something so difficult that many gamers who had poor eyesight had to undergo eye-surgery just to improve their vision. Even Seeker used this game as a training ground for Unbecoming.

Kristine was among the gods who stood at the peak of this game. And so, like Arthur, the new strength to her perspective only allowed her control and prowess to grow at an unimaginable level.

"Amazing. That girl's pretty good." Peters spoke with his mouth wide open.

"My son said that's his girlfriend." Chris appeared behind the two.

"Enough. Let's get to work. I'm worried about my daughter." Steveson interjected.

The three couples each carried a piece of cylindrical cubes. After putting it together, Steveson impatiently took it, and like a bazooka, Steveson aimed and fired.

BOOM!

The loud sound of the explosion jolted Pridgeon awake.

The bomb in Larson knocked him out. Luckily, the armor he was wearing had various technologies that could protect him. The wounds he initially had were continuously being healed by the suit. A lot of the suit's energy was expended because it had to heal Pridgeon and repair itself.

"What happened?" Pridgeon cursed as he groggily stood up. After recalling what he was doing, he immediately stood up. He could see smoke and fire over at the main gate of Meng's base.

All the computers were damaged when Richie came in. Pridgeon used the technology in his suit to connect with the server directly. Several warnings were shown as his suit was losing power.

He used the cameras all around the base to check on the current state of his base.

"Dead! They're really all dead!" Pridgeon cured angrily. The Pioneers and Planted that he gathered for this mission were plenty. Their deaths would undoubtedly cause problems as these Pioneers were the heads of various Earthly organizations.

He took a look at the state of the base and sighed in relief. The metal gate that blocked the path to Meng's mansion was now destroyed.

"Good! I can still kill them!" Pridgeon grinned.

Pridgeon used his suit to ready it.

The remaining bug drones that were in the base started to zoom towards the inside of the mansion ignoring the shocking battle that was currently happening. As the bugs managed to reach the deeper parts of the messed up mansion, the scans identified a strange heat source that was unlike any other heat source that existed in the world. Suddenly the heat disappeared.

"That must be Meng!" Pridgeon concluded.

He had no time to spare. The energy of his suit was running low. He had to save up his energy as he had to escape immediately.

He guided the bugs as it continued to fly deeper and deeper into the mansion. The bugs soon came upon a room where the heat source was supposed to be only to find several figures that were intensely looking at each other.

Suddenly a light flashed once more blinding even the bugs.

"Pangean Everbright? Even Pangea is involved?" Pridgeon could not help but cry out in surprise.

But seeing as there was no time, the drones detected another battle which was happening and so Pridgeon ignored the battle and ordered the drones to push forward.

Suddenly several of the drones started to break down as the drones detected a strange chemical attack.

He ordered the remaining to move back but he successfully identified the source of the chemical attack.

After resolving in himself that this oddity should be none other than the being called Greydon Meng, Pridgeon started to prepare for 'its' launch.

The World Governing Power's forbade the creation of technologies that further improved nuclear or other technologies that caused mass destruction. But the truth is, everyone knew, the other countries had something up their sleeves.

The Qilin's Horn was China's most prized weapon. No other nation had known the existence of this bomb although it has been used twice during the Continental War.

This weapon was so effective in killing that it would undoubtedly be banned by the World Governing Powers. And so, the existence of this weapon was kept secret all these years. China would have to expend a lot of resources to create one single rocket as it was equipped with various technologies that China has not yet revealed to the world.

Pridgeon insisted to have this weapon ready in case something unexpected happened.

"Stupid Earthlings. I'll kill every one of you!" Pridgeon gritted his teeth as he prepared. He would undoubtedly be punished or demoted for his poor performance on Earth, especially now that he had to use the Qilin's Horn.

"I hope finding that Gamer could appease Zera." Pridgeon mumbled as his thoughts wandered into how to find Seeker Carlean to appease the Princess. Maybe only then will the other Presider's overlook his failure.
