"Do you know why we are called Void Walkers and not Time Walkers even though we do so many time-related feats?" Void Walker asked Monkey King with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"I've always been meaning to ask you that. Void refers to space right? You guys would really be better served if you changed your name to Time Walkers." Monkey King said.
"Well the secret which is not a secret because most of the top powers already know about it, is that Void Walkers are extremely powerful with regard to… You guessed it. Space magic." Void Walker said.
"And? How are you planning to cheat? You can't travel to Planet Earth. You'll be discovered, caught and banned from the Games forever. Worse, they might even imprison you!" Monkey King said with a frown.
"Oh they won't dare to imprison me." Void Walker said airily. "But you don't have to worry about that. I am not planning to physically go there. All I need to do is to open up a tiny space between here and a few locations on Planet Earth and pass along some key information to several key parties."
"You want to tell Elliot to get ready to face them!" Understanding finally dawned in Monkey King's mind. "That's good, but… nowhere good enough. Knowing a meteor would fall upon you five minutes beforehand won't save you. Well… It would in your case because you're a Void Walker… But he's not like you."
"Of course my plan is not just to inform Elliot, silly. I WILL do that as well of course.' Void Walker said patiently while thinking "Damn the Monkey is right. I need to tell Elliot as well. Haha."
"My plan is for YOU to tell your assets there to activate and move out to save him!" Void Walker said while looking at Monkey King slyly.
"Wha-what? What assets? Hahaha I don't know what you're talking about?" Monkey King laughed awkwardly.
"You don't have to lie to me, Monkey! I know that the Great Sage is one of your assets! That's why you were so affected when he died. And knowing you, it is impossible for you to only have one asset in one place. There must be another, or even a few more assets as back up!" Void Walker glared at Monkey King.
"Well…" Monkey King scratched his head.
"There! You're scratching your head! That's an admission of guilt! HA!" Void Walker proclaimed triumphantly.
"Alright, alright. You win. I still have two more assets there." Monkey King admitted grudgingly.
"That's great! Two assets!" Void Walker said happily. "Don't worry about the assets, Monkey. Think about your bet! If Elliot wins, you can plant a million assets on Planet Earth if you want to! And aren't assets meant to be used in critical situations such as this anyway?"
"Fine! Fine! You win. Let's do this then." Monkey King finally threw his hands up in surrender and agreed.
"Good. Come follow me. We'll tell the rest that we want to lodge a complaint to the Game Master." Void Walker said.
Monkey King nodded and followed Void Walker who was shouting, "THIS IS INTOLERABLE! WE'RE COMPLAINING TO THE GAME MASTER!"
"Y-Yeah! We are going to complain! Complain very seriously!" Monkey King added before he dashed out of the VIP room.

"Girls, wake up." Elliot shook them lightly.
"Huh? Have we arrived?" Jessica yawned and rubbed her eyes.
"Brother? Why is the sky on fire?" Jennifer frowned and asked.
"HUH? What's going on?" Jessica asked in shock.
"Remember how I told you the aliens would come and destroy the cities and unleash the beasts? Well, that's happening now." Elliot said carefully.
"Oh. The apocalypse. Okay." Jennifer nodded and yawned while she stretched.
"Oooo ok." Jessica said as she stretched as well. "Ugh, I miss my bed. No offence Winter, but your back isn't meant for humans to sleep on."
"None taken." Winter chuckled.
"She said no offence taken. But you owe her a bunny rabbit for dinner tonight." Jennifer conveyed.
"Okay. And I don't believe you about the bunny rabbit." Jessica replied and saw through Jennifer's schemes easily.
"Er… You girls aren't afraid?" Elliot asked them while feeling pleasantly surprised.
"Of course… NOT! Haha! We have you and your beasts. We're going to a safe place. We'll be fine, right?" Jessica said with a smile.
"Of course we'll be fine!" Elliot immediately replied.
"Don't worry brother. We're totally fine. In fact, this might sound a little bit crazy, but I'm even feeling slightly…" Jennifer said.
"Excited!" Jessica finished her sentence.
"That's right. Hee hee." Jennifer giggled.
"Good. Very good!" Elliot nodded approvingly. "We-"
Suddenly, a soft voice sounded near him.
"Elliot Musk! Five legendary beasts are attacking you. Head to your west and make your stand in the cave over there!"
"What? Who's there!" Elliot shouted in shock.
"We are friends. Go to the cave! We will reinforce you."
"What do you mean?" Elliot asked with a frown.
But the voice had disappeared without a trace.
"Fi-five legendary beasts? That sounds quite bad." Jessica gulped nervously.
"Winter, head west. Let's see if there's really a cave there." Elliot said, his brows furrowing deeply. But he did not detect any killing intent in the voice, so he was willing to follow up on her information just to take a look. And if her words happen to be true… Then a cave would really be a great place to make a stand.
"Yes Master." Winter immediately turned to her right and ran at her top speed.
As she was running, the sky that was burning up suddenly released countless giant beams of blindingly bright energy.
"Girls, close your eyes and bury your heads in Winter's back! NOW!" Elliot shouted as he did the same as well. "Winter, hide your head and stop for a minute until the beam passes!"
Winter immediately did as she was told and curled up by a large rock.
BRRRRRRRR!! BRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! BRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
The ground began to rumble and shake powerfully as the horrifyingly powerful energy beams impacted California's cities with highly precise power, perfectly designed and calibrated to vaporize surface structures and life forms while leaving the Earth's inner crust and core untouched.
Step 1 of the alien's course of action in preparing a Game World, City-Levelling, had begun in earnest in the State of California.
As Elliot sat still and waited for the massacre of California to end, he couldn't help but a searing, white hot rage for the aliens to build up within him.

Creation is hard, cheer me up!
Whatever could be said of Elliot, he was after all still a member of the human race. He had his pride, his sense of belonging and his sense of comradeship and brotherhood with his fellow humans.
"I will make sure I repay the pain humankind received back upon the aliens a thousandfold!" Elliot swore in his heart.
The ground continued to shake violently as the energy beams impacted the earth with the power of a billion sledgehammers. Faintly, through Winter's heightened sense of hearing, Elliot could hear the screams of the survivors begin their wretched and horrifying symphony.
He cut off the Beast-Link with Winter straight away. He didn't need more anger clouding his mind.
Elliot opened his eyes slowly and upon finding that the blinding light had subsided, he immediately instructed Winter to continue.
"Winter, let's go." Elliot said softly.
Winter leapt into action without a word and sped through the grassland very quickly, each gigantic step of hers eating up tens of meters.
Very soon, they reached the aforementioned cave and found that it was perfect. It was large enough to house Brock and Winter easily, but with a narrow entrance that could only fit one giant beast.
The enemy's greater number would be nullified and they would be forced to face Brock and Winter one at a time.
"Brock, everyone, come out." Elliot summoned.
Brock's giant frame, along with the wolves, hawks and the tiger immediately coalesced into form around him.
"Brock, please open up a small hole within the cave so the girls can hide. We'll cover it with earth and all of you beasts can pee on the entrance to make sure the enemy beasts do not sniff them out if we end up losing this fight." Elliot instructed his beasts mentally.
Brock nodded and immediately went to work.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Brock's incredible strength allowed him to quickly complete his task.
"Girls, stay inside that hole, and whatever happens, do not come out! I will get you both out after everything is over." Elliot instructed them. He didn't leave any instructions if the worst were to happen.
Both girls immediately nodded and squeezed into the small hole.
Elliot hesitated slightly and then produced two small knives.
"Take them. At the very least, if a heavily injured beast escapes me, you can kill him with these." Elliot said. He didn't say that if a heavily injured beast managed to escape him, he would probably be dead.
Jessica took them both from Elliot wordlessly.
"San Wu Kong. Do you want to join them? You're still too little to fight in this battle." Elliot said to his Lightning Apostle.
"My place is by your side, Master. In life. And in death." Wu Kong simply said as he sat calmly on the branch of a small tree by the cave.
"Good. Then whether today ends in life or death, you're no longer just my Lightning Apostle, but also my brother!" Elliot told him with fierce eyes.
"It is my honor." Wu Kong said gravely.
Elliot nodded and then turned to quickly covered the small hole with a thick layer of earth, leaving only two small holes for his sisters to breathe.
"Don't worry, and wait for my return." Elliot said softly to them.
"We're ok brother. Don't worry!" Jessica said.
"Yes, go do your thing. Don't worry about us. Shoo!" Jennifer shooed him away.
Elliot smiled silently and made his way to the entrance.
"I will win this fight at all costs." He said to himself with clenched fists. "Primal Feline Warrior Beast Transformation. Activate."
When he stepped out of the cave, it was as a fully enraged Primal Feline Warrior.
"Master. If you don't mind, I would like to command your beasts." Wu Kong said.
Elliot turned to gaze at Wu Kong with his ferocious yellow eyes. Powerful emotions were swirling within him and he was fighting very hard to maintain control. Elliot knew he couldn't fight AND control his beasts at the same time.
They would be far more effective being commanded by Wu Kong who was a born genius and military strategist.
"They are yours to command." Elliot said. "And take this as well. It will fully heal a single beast from near-fatal wounds."
Wu Kong nodded as he received the small vial and immediately issued a string of commands. The hawks flew high into the sky and began to circle the area, looking for the first sign of the legendary beasts' presence.
"Please summon your Giant Armored Mammoth first, Master. I will keep mine as a final trump card." Wu Kong said to Elliot.
Elliot nodded and listened to his military strategist.
"Come, Giant Armored Mammoth." He whispered.
A gigantic red mist appeared suddenly before Elliot. It was at least ten meters tall, twice Brock's size. Brock and the rest moved aside hastily.
Whoosh! The mist suddenly disappeared.
And for the first time in many thousands of years, the Mighty Mammoth walked the lands of Planet Earth once more.
KRAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
The mighty mammoth's trumpeting roar resounded powerfully!
Elliot studied his newest summon and nodded in satisfaction.
A full ten meters tall and probably weighing hundreds of tons, it was an incredible sight to behold.
It's long ivory tusk curved wickedly; its whole body was covered with thick, black armor that looked like it could withstand a building falling down on it.
Most glaring was its thick and powerful trunk. It was fully encased with serrated and spiked armor that allowed it to double as a vicious flexible weapon.
BOOM!!
The earth shook when it stomped down with both its front legs.
"Giant Armored Mammoth. Take center position directly in front of the cave entrance. Brock, please stand twenty five paces to the mammoth's right. Winter, stand thirty paces to Brock's right. Master, please take Rex, Ellie, the wolves and the tigers and stand twenty paces to the Winter's right.
If all goes well, the mammoth would be our pivot and we will flank and crush the enemy one by one from the right." Wu Kong explained.
"Excellent idea." Elliot growled as he stood at the ready and glared at the sky. The beasts would be delivered in spaceships, and so they would probably come from the sky.
There was no suspense regarding that. Within fifteen minutes, five black alien spaceships burst through the burning clouds and streaked down towards them.
