Should Have Let Me Die

Chapter 142: Give Them Hell



Chapter 142: Give Them Hell

After a couple of drinks, Bhan and I were laughing and talking again, like nothing had happened, it was always this way. You couldn't even mention his girls without him going ape shit, so the next time we met and Jes got back to him was going to be fun. Kiada was still looking out on the plains.

She was tough, but we both knew she missed her girls, but Lesha was the one she really missed. Even though Kiada was a Harem Leader, she only kept a constant relationship with one girl and was the first Harem Leader to consistently keep a single member with them all twelve games. I'm sure Kiada was thinking about her now, with us being so close to the Zodiac worlds. 

I knew the price we would each have to pay before reaching the world, but I didn't talk about it. There was no point, they wouldn't remember it anyway, so there was no point to put a downer on it. Who knows, maybe I was the one that pulled the short stick, and they would get easy lives and then hit by a bus or a meteor, they could only be so lucky.

The trip to the final area took most of the day, and the monsters were keeping their distance. Even in the Game World, monsters must be surprised to find that we are actually the real monsters in the world with red labels above our heads and names that are a series of question marks. The ants were just stupid, and anything else with the same amount of sense were ran over or gave up from chasing us.

"What do we know about the place? Will it just be the same cave? Was it a cave for you two the first time?"

"Yeah, it must be the same, look," Bhan pointed ahead and I turned around to see an erupting volcano off in the distance ahead of us.

Ya, I remembered it, the ever erupting mount something or another. The girls kept track of that shit when it came to obscure things like this. There was so much stuff in my head right now, so I couldn't just pick out a memory. Technically, I was in memory, trying to find a memory, pointless.

"MainFrame Will be waiting for up, but unless it has improved drastically, this is going to be a short fight. Do you think MainFrame will try and cheat again?" Kiada asked the open air in front of her with a finger to her lip.

"BWAHAHA, MainFrame always cheats. Few things in the multiple lives we live can be certain, except for death, villains, and MainFrame pulling his entitled act to pull a card out of his sleeve when he starts losing."

We all laughed at this and had put up with the intrusive MainFrame around every corner. He always had a new demon spawn he called his children chasing up, but that would stop in the Zodiac worlds, and it had. Never once did MainFrame announce it's self or try to send some to fuck with my plans. No Sir Duck Face was my fault and I should have killed him, but it was a lesson learned.

"Soon, you two will get to experience a life without him, but the Game Masters aren't going to be easy. It's really pointless to tell you this, but, don't lose this time, if we lose again, I don't think any of us will be able to live the same twelve lives again. I plan on doing everything in my power to keep every one of them safe and claim Leo as my family's homeworld before we move onto the other nine."

"The girls will come with me wherever I go, unlike you two sluts, I have a small and stable harem," Kiada said after turning around and then stuck out her tongue at me. 

"No, you're just lazy, and that meant that Bhan and I had to pick up all the slack!"

"No, Bhan is lazy, you're a Letcher, and I know how to work the system so I don't have to work the system!" Kiada said with a smirk.

"Kiada, I know what you do to those girls, just because you don't have a dick to stick in them, doesn't mean what you do to them is any less worse. Also, my Harem is not much bigger than yours, Hyde is the one that picked up all the slack. This guy is the player incarnate, and I'm not talking about how well he hits stuff...wait...maybe I am...hehe " Bhan laughed through a yawn, waving both of us off. 

"Piss off, we are almost to the melting mountain, I'm going. Do you want me to throw you the rest of the way?" I asked Bhan.

"You know it!"

Bhan reached behind his back and then pulled a pair of goggles from god knows where. Bhan's only ability was Convenience, which meant that everything was convenient for him and us but not to the same degree as him. So, over time and games, we had developed fun ways to transport him over long distances fast. 

The javelin throw was the best for both of us. A combination of my strength and what I called Bhan's luck always made for fun since he had no fighting abilities, I used him as a weapon most of the time. With his goggles on, Bhan came to stand beside me, with hands-on his hips, and in a pose that made Kiada roll her eyes.

I nodded to Kiada and she turned into a red mist and disappeared. I eye fucked the distance, maybe three kilometers, so I snapped ten bands. Immediately I grabbed Bhan by the front of his coat and hurtled him into the air directly at the side of the mountain as Bo Peep shattered under me. I smashed directly into the ground causing a small crater, but I stopped dead. The tank's metal and parts bent and exploded around me in chaos, and I closed a gate and reopened it.

The tank blew apart in a shatter of everything it was made of and I started running. Ten bands were the maximum when on normal ground, or I would start digging a trench as I ran at eleven. Ten was more than enough, and I even passed Bhan, who I had thrown too hard, and was about to hit the side of the mountain, so I found a good spot to sit and watch.

"You boys are Idiots, you know that?" Kiada said as she appeared beside me. 

I didn't respond, but I did smile, this was both Bhan and my favorite part, and Kiada could pretend all she wanted, but both Bhan and I had seen her grins after we were done messing around. Bhan couldn't get hurt unless it was one of his own Harem Members that hit him, but his ability was random and never ever repeated. Sure there were variations of what could happen, but I was always a bit different, and an endless source of laughs for all of us over the last games.

Right before Bhan was about to become red art on the side of the mountain, his body changed shape in a translucent ball, FUCK! I jumped up in the air without a thought and was just barely able to catch Bhan, who was now his dork self with a big grin. This had happened three worlds ago, being stupid boys, and I had tossed him using my max strength and he turned into an exercise ball...and kept going.

It had taken Kiada and me five months to find him, he had bounced until he hit an ocean and then floated away. The problem with his luck is that it didn't change until she was out of danger, like when I just caught him. Since then I always throw him directly at something so I can catch him before he ended up halfway across the world.

"Thanks, Bro! I just had the maddest flashback from EVO."

"Yeah, you were lucky I wasn't still just an ape or you would have been waiting a bit for me to find you, hehe!"

"I was the one that found him! You weren't around!" Kiada accused.

"Ya, but I found you two idiots stranded on the island and saved you both from that giant fucking lizard! Fucking Mecha-Dragon-Monkey to the rescue!"

"That was pretty cool to see, you were the only one to go full monster, and it paid off, hehe!" Bhan joked.

"You always have to bring it up! Like you're some god watching over us!" Kiada protest.

Getting rescued was always a sore subject, so I left me 'you started it' comment to myself. Now wasn't the time, I wanted some answers about why I can't remember this part, and what the purpose of the vision was. Maybe I was overthinking it, but something was bothering me.

It was my friends then, Jeff, Slade, and the third one with dirty blonde hair. I could remember minor things about him, but when I tried to think about his face or name, my mind lost focus. The biggest question that had never been answered was why? 

I get now that the Game Master is trying to destroy the zodiac world, but why? And what's the point after I stop him? What is the end game?

The three of us walked up to the massive cave entrance that was covered by the same black shroud from Marly's cave.

"Good luck, if I don't talk to you again before we head into the Zodiac Worlds. Fight like hell and don't you dare fucking lose. They are all counting on us to save them since we are the reason they are there in the first place! Give the Game Masters hell and make them pay for fucking with us and our families!"
