บท 9: S.A.B.E.R. Headquarters
After hours and hours of walking on a wasteland full of sand and dirt, Gusion's partyhad finally reached Antoinerei, the city of technology.
They saw walls protected with a force field. The main gate was protected by guards. As one of the guards saw the party, they immediately approached them.
"Stop! Do you have your ID's with you?" The guard asked.
"I was sent here by Layla the Malefic Gunner, We dont have ID's though." Gusion said.
"Ah, Paxley! Welcome to the city of Antoinerei!" the guard said. "Let me escort you to Malefic."
Gusion looked past the defences. He saw a glowing soccer ball on the guard's feet.
"Uhm sir, what's that thing on your feet?" He asked.
"My weapon. I am Bruno, the Protector of Antoinerei." the guy said.
As Bruno escorted Gusion and his party to the city, he saw lots of flying cars, soldiers holding laser weapons, holograms and drones. Bruno slid his finger and started texting through one of the holograms.
"Wow! This city is so sci-fi! It's amazing!" Lesley said as she gazed around.
"This is B-30. I need to speak with Malefic A-01."
"That's amazing."Ruby said.
"....*picks up* Uhm hello? B-30, what do you need?"
"Paxley is here. Where should lead him?"
"Oh Paxley is here? Great. I'll be at the S.A.B.E.R. Headquarters. Tell him to meet me there alright?"
"Okay. Thank you."
*call ends*
"Paxley, Miss Malefic would want to see you in her headquarters. This way please."
Bruno lead Gusion and the party to a flying car. They got in excitingly.
"Oh my god. This is a dream come true! Ruby said."
The car flew up in the air. Lesley and Ruby were so amazed as they could see the view up in the air. The streets were filled with robots, people flying around with jetpacks and motorcyclists riding in super fast bikes.
Ten minutes later, they had arrived in S.A.B.E.R Headquarters. They landed on a giant balcony suited for flying vehicles.
"You're on your own now Paxley. Good to see you." Bruno said.
"Good to see you too, sir Bruno."Gusion replied.
As they entered the building, they saw Layla waiting for them inside.
"Hey Gus. Good to see you again." she said.
Gusion and Layla exhanged hands, as well with the three others. They introduced themselves, and started talking.
"Layla, you've changed so much. I saw you with different hair colors before and you've changed it yet again!" Alucard said.
"Why? Do you like my hair Alu?"Layla asked.
"Looks like someone here is flirty. Who could it be?"Gusion said with an evil smile on his face.
"Gusion stop! Not in a place like this!"
"Pervert Alu. Ruby doesn't like him." Ruby said.
"Hey! Not you too!"
"Ruby, Freya, Miya then me. You really are an idiot Alu." Layla said.
"That's what you get for calling me a lolicon days ago."
"Enough with the chit chat. Let me show you around here."
Layla led them to a room with a table and a couple of office chairs. A giant monitor was hanging from the wall. A bunch of holograms was projected through a computer in the table.
"This is our meeting room. This is where hold any meetings, plannings or discussions about what's happening around here in Antoinerei.
After that Layla leads them to another room. There were guns, armours, swords, laser weapons, tons of ammunition and many many more.
"This is our armory. This is where we store weapons and supplies needed in battle. We also take old weapons and refine them into a high-tech class weapon. There are also jetpacks here if you need to fly to your destination. Don't touch those robot suits though! They belong to Saber, the captain of our team."
"Jetpacks? Can we use it to fly around the city?" Ruby excitingly asked.
"We only use it for emergencies, sorry." Layla replied.
Then she led them to a large room. There were lots of training equipments, targets and even an obstacle course. They saw three men working out, showing off their muscles to each other.
"This is our training field. On the left is a gym where you can test your strength, then on this side here is a testing field for weapons. Lesley you can practice your shooting skills here."
"That's amazing!" Lesley said.
"Hey Layla, who are those guys there?" Alucard quietly whispered to her ear.
"They are other members of the S.A.B.E.R. Alliance." she said.
"Wait, I thought S.A.B.E.R. Squad was just five of you." Gusion said.
"No. There are also teams like S.A.B.E.R. Seals, S.A.B.E.R. Airstrike Team, and we are S.A.B.E.R. Squad. We are only a part of the best soldiers on Antoinerei. We work like how the F.B.I. in Moniya works." Layla said.
"Gusion, she said F.B.I., you're in great trouble!" Alucard whispered. He started to laugh silently. "Lolicon."
Gusion hit Alu hard in the back. "Seriously man, stop. I'm not a lolicon, you are."
"You're a lolicon Gusion? That explains why you like me and Ruby so much!" Layla teases him.
"No!" *Gusion whispers to Alucard's ear* "This is all your fault!"
And so Layla led them to another room. This time they saw tables, chairs and a big guy eating quietly.
"This is our canteen. Hey Johnson, meet my friends!"
Johnson stood up and walked near them.
"Meet Johnson, the Automata. He has the power to transform into a 4x4 SUV."
Johnson extended his hands to Gusion, Ruby and Lesley. Meanwhile, Alucard and him hit a brofist.
"You used to be a race car. How is that even possible?"Alucard asked.
"I can also become a jeepney, a fire truck and a police vehicle. My body is back to normal you see.
"Well I hope I see you in FIFA 2020 in Tokyo. I'll be watching."
"Hahaha! Yeah I started training again last month. Well see you later man."
"See you later."
And Layla toured them through all the other rooms in different floors in the S.A.B.E.R. Tower. They saw cool stuff, met other people and learned how life in the HQ would be.
"Lastly, this is the research facility. I think Cyclops is busy studying about the Gemini constellation."
"Cyclops? That name sounds familiar."Gusion said.
A one eyed person in a robot snuck behind them.
"Looking for me?"
"Cyclops! It is you!" Gusion was surprised to see his old friend.
"Paxley, The guy who dropped out in 2nd year." Cyclops said.
"You know each other?"Layla asked.
"We were classmates back in Mage Academy."Cyclops replied. "He didnt graduate though."
"Well yeah. That's why I studied a year in Swordcraft Academy and joined the Empire Army."
"Uhm, we can talk later Gus. I'm busy studying Halo and Shadow."
"Alright see you later."
Layla and the others went up the elevator to the 40th floor of the HQ. This time, it looked like a corridor from a five star hotel.
"These will be your rooms. We have a vacant 10 rooms ready for use. The others were occupied by soldiers and civilians from Eruditio."
"Yay! I finally get to stay in room like this!" Ruby enthusiastically jumped into the air.
"Yeah. Finally I can search memes on Facebook all night without running low on battery." Alucard said.
"Gusion and I can stay in the same room." Lesley said.
And so they put thier bags in thier rooms. Each had two beds, a flat screen TV, a bathroom, and a nice view off the city. It smelled really nice and clean.
"So guys you can do what you want for the day. We have a meeting at 1pm tommorow. You can explore around the city for today. Gusion meet me later 8pm, Floor 22 in the bar.
"Okay." He replied.
"By the way Alucard, the WiFi passcode is greatestarmyever99." And Layla left, going down the elevator alone.
The party entered their respected rooms. Ruby didn't want to go anywhere and wanted to stay in her room for the rest of the night. Meanwhile Alucard planned to check out the mall blocks away to buy new techs. Lesley and Gusion stayed in their rooms.
"So Gusion, do you have any other plans today?" Lesley asked.
"Not really. I'm only gonna meet up with Layla later." he replied.
"It's only 4pm in the afternoon. You sure you don't wanna go anywhere else?"
"Nah. I'm beat. I'm gonna take a bath first before I go down."
And so Gusion did his thing, as Lesley arranged her stuff in their room. They enjoyed the entire day exploring the S.A.B.E.R HQ.
