Chapter 276: Making A Plan
[Day 3/1825 on The Godless Green Earth A.I World]
We decided to stay the night, and had more than our share of our fun, but I woke up feeling great. It was like I had been recharged, and Mikota was still sleeping so I pulled up some progress and status bars that I had been ignoring.
[Guardian Summons] 30% completed!
[Pregnancy] 60% completed!
[Total Gi] 248/1000
What the actual fuck? WHAT DID SIXTY PERCENT MEAN?! Wait… one, two… fuck. Learn something new every day.
*Internal screaming*
I gently lifted Mikota and myself into the air; I just needed to get some air, this was fine… ugh, why did I have to be having kids right now? Can't I just lead them? They can have the kids, man, like I don't have enough going on already.
*More internal screaming*
I will just think about how much easier I can move earth with more Gi, that was what I was going to do. Kids be damned! I would make sure they grew up in the five years, but I wish I didn't have to. This wasn't the way it was supposed to be, we all had a plan going in, and even if it got messed up…
There was a saying, even the best-laid plans fell apart at the start of a battle, and I was living proof. We all agreed to do a quick run, no messing around, no kids. Get the girls put then in the Hall of Gods until the Zodiac worlds, then secure the first world and rush the last two worlds.
I was sixty-two games into this and still hadn't set foot on a Zodiac world. Everyone else would be securing their first world before I could complete the final game world. Maybe there was another way, something to get me caught up, but then I needed the files.
I was almost back, but Mikota was still sleeping so I stopped. I needed to think.
I created this game, but while inside of it I was just another player, but I wasn't there right now, in Reborn. To complete the game I had to get the A.I. off the world by ascension if they just needed to reach a certain point.
What if I could defeat MTK's race, the Galaxsor Techknowledge before they got here? Blank Summon.
"Woah!" Gripton said with some surprise, waking Mikota.
"Hey, how come the pervert is here?" Mikota asked while rubbing her eyes.
"I summoned him, I wanted to do the disturbing this time."
"You know I was watching you, not for that part, but I can't leave. I have been trying to get out to go talk to the others, but since you are in here now, it's like Reborn stopped and is locked."
"And when did you plan on telling me this?"
"Right now!" Gripton said with frustration.
"Fine, but no more dicking around. You are going to help me complete this, and then once I have the file you are going to take me to The Eye Of God. From there, you are going to help me wipe the game worlds. These A.I. of your's do other things right? This is an RTS, they have to be able to do crazy stuff right?" I asked.
"What are you trying to get at? You want to take the fight to them? The eliminator race we built together?" Gripton asked back in frustrated confusion.
"Gah, Gripton, use your head! We don't have to fight them all, if we go to them and offer a challenge, they have to follow the program set, accept it. I am the leader of this race now, but I don't like your game plan. I had my share of killing yesterday, so today, you are going sit, stand, lay here with me until we figure out how to bring the humans under my control."
"Your nuts, you have to kill the commander, in the heart of their central base."
"Okay, good, that will be easier. Where is the base, and how can I get more maximum Gi? This shit makes me stronger right?"
"Dave, wait! This is an RTS! You can't just walk into the head base and expect to be able to kill someone that easily!" Gripton tried to explain to me, but he was thinking too small.
This whole thing was supposed to be by the rules that I created for this game, yet I had been playing Reginold's version since I started. I could get to The Eye Of God, then I could wipe the world completely. Then I could upload the original one that I made for myself, but I needed to do it without winning.
"I am going to gather enough Gi to drop a mountain on them. Then we are all going to sing kumbaya and build a spaceship, and then I am going to fly it to Mars. When I come back you will have the file and we will be going to TEOG. Then we are wiping the first twelve worlds of Reborn, and uploading the original. Are you still with me?" I asked.
"Yes...IF you defeat the Galaxsor Techknowlege, then I can get you to TEOG. You are right, honestly, I built this game to play like what we had talked about, so I only really saw you doing it the way I intended. This is a solid plan, and to do what you want, you just need to force your own evolution and over collect Gi."
"Good, so, now you are going to stop playing invisible man and get to work. I will go talk to the elders, you will go find me more herds of Gialazsaur to absorb. Let me know when you find more." I said, but he had left already.
"What crawled into your pants today? You seem itching to go now, so how are you going to rescue the girls now?" Mikota asked, rubbing her stomach, and then she looked down, blinking. "Hoo, I have a tummy already?! I'M GOING TO GET STRETCH MARKS!"
I put my hand to my forehead and then shook my head.
"You turn into a giant monster, you will be fine."
"What, so now you think I'm a giant monster!" Mikota growled at me.
"Hey! I didn't say that! Oye! What is this now!" But Mikota started to laugh.
"Just kidding, calm down, or do I need to relieve some of that stress you seemed to have worked back up?" Mikota said with the suggestion turned all the way up.
That helped, and she was right, I was just working myself up now. I had a plan, I just had to get it moving. As much as I would like to take her up on the offer, I could feel footsteps coming, so it would have to wait.
"Dave! Are you over here!" I heard Kazuya call out.
"Yes, we are over here."
The group of four came over the hill and waved to us. I took Mikota's hand and walked with her up the hill, but I also lifted the hill. The group all threw their arms to the side to catch their balance, but they were fine when I started to move the hill.
This was easier than it had been to move a small amount of dirt before, so it might not take me that long to get to the mountain dropping point. This was good, and I needed more good news, and now if everything with all the new girls went well I could be on the zodiac would in no time.
Again, this was provided that I could beat the MTK or whoever they sent, but I just knew that it would be him. Major Tim Knowles, originally part of a Special US military VR training program suffered cardiac arrest. Or so it was said after MTK threatened to send reports about the dangers of the helmets and elements in the helmets into the FEDs.
He was one of the first programs that I fitted into the game. Gripton had built him a simulation world in his free time, but I had no idea how long he had actually been in the game. Time didn't flow here or it did, but it was different than reborn, so I didn't know what he would be like after all this time.
We had met, but that was before I had my memories back and I was in the random world, and he was set to a helper there. Here would be a completely different story, he would be set to eliminate, so there would be no holding back.
I set us all down near the cave and everyone got off the hill. They had all stayed quiet and let me think, but now it was time to go explain my plan. Then I had to go deal with all the females that were near the water source. If I could take all the Gi from them, I might have enough to do what I needed to end the war here, but no point counting chickens before they hatched.
"Okay, let's go and talk to everyone about what the plan is," I said motioning to the cave entrance.
They all turned and went into the cave perfectly fine to wait for an explanation. Boy, if only everyone else in my life was this patient. I looked at Mikota and she smiled.
Okay, fine, maybe I was really the one that needed to learn some patience, but I think that I had messed around in this game for long enough. It was time to start playing to win, again.
