A lesson in Etiquette

Lulu didn’t pay much attention to her boss who was enjoying himself against the other team owners and then just proceeded to walk towards the tank holding Sly and started reading the data on it.

“Show me your real stats” said Lulu before a set of lights came out of her eyes and started scanning the container.
Buzz
….Scanned Obstructed
….Scanned Obstructed
“Interesting… If you want to get out of there you better let me see!!”
“That is right little girl, you better behave yourself and ask politely” said K.C through a wireless message.
“In 10 seconds… I am walking out that door and telling my mark that the player we are looking for is not here”
“Do you really want to screw Mother’s plans? Do it! I dare you b***h…”
5…
4…
3…
“Let her see K.C, she will leave” said Millie shaking her head
1…
Grrr… OK … keep your panties on... a quick pic and that is it!”
A smile came over Lulu’s face and the scanned lights flashed again and then disappeared. Just the physical attributes were through the roof even with the necklace suppression on. Thanks to the Titan DNA, Sly had his bones and muscles enhanced. The Stats made Torch look like a 1 year old baby staring at a full grown man.
“How are you a human?”
Lulu didn’t know how Eternal Darkness got their hands on somebody like Sly but she understood that a good relationship was in her best interest.
“Zik, buy him”
The Nazekiel turned around and proceeded to move towards his assistant to take a look. He knew what they were there to do but he still couldn’t come to terms with passing on a Mystical Order member.
Are you sure about this? His numbers are average at best and he only has 2 skills and they don’t sound that powerful.
“I am sure. He is the one we been waiting for”
Sigh…
Zik turned towards the door and an attendant immediately came, “How can I assist you, esteemed guess”
“I am buying him”
“Certainly, that would be 40 million E.C. Please check that the information on the lot and the number of the tank is correct then please write your account ”
Zik checked the information and followed the prompts in the android's screen.
“press BUY”
Click
“Thank you for your patronage. Would you like to take him with you or use our delivery service ”
Zik looked towards Lulu who just said, “Unlocked It”
While Lulu and Zik were talking and taking care of business, the other team owner that was arguing whispered to Torch, “I’ll buy you and give you 2 million extra to attack that slave”
“4 and you take care of the aftermath”
“Deal”
Torch didn’t give a f**k. He and his brothers had wreaked havoc everywhere they went and even though he had been caught by the authorities he was ready to blow s**t up. It had been a while since he let loose and he was going to jump at the opportunity.
Buzz!
Fwooosh!
Three Rings spun really fast around Torch releasing 3 beams of concentrated flame towards the Nazekiel, and Sly who had their backs to him.
The business man frowned at what was happening, he told Torch to kill the Slave and now the picture unfolding in front of his eyes was about to become a bloodbath. He smiled unconsciously but what happened next left him speechless.
The moment the buzzing was heard, the figure of Lulu moved like a ghost living behind shadows of herself before a giant light shield was deployed encasing her and torch inside.
The shield looked like a 3D octagon that pushed all the people that were standing in its area backwards as it expanded. The 3 beams hit the back of the screen and bounced inside forcing Torch to use his rings to re absorb them and in doing so increasing the potency of his next blast.
“You stupid b***h… you just gave me more juice…HAHAHAHAH”
“Trash”
“Burn Baby Burn”
“The inside of the octagon was roughly 15 ft wide and at that distance it was going to be very hard for Lulu to avoid the beams but her mecha-legs power grid lit up and she moved extremely fast leaving some shadows behind and appearing besides Torch while doing a roundhouse kick”.
“f**k!”
Blood Splatter on the floor while Torch’s arm flailed around on the ground.
The plasma cutters in her feet had activated and before he could use his E.F.S Lulu had already acquired an advantage and had cut one of his arms clean.
“b***h, I’ll Kill you”.
Lulu sneered at the comment and got ready to give Torch the coup de grâce.
“Don’t kill him”
Thud
Torch fell to the ground unconscious under the gazes of all the high class players of the survival games.
Zik had a smile on his face and as he walked forward, the octagon shield banished and Lulu walked over Torch’s body and stood behind her boss.
“Looks like we broke somebody’s toy. I hope you didn’t promise too much … hahaha” The tail of the Nazekiel swung around and its weight crushed the arm into paste.
Let’s go…
Zik turned around and Lulu followed him before stopping in front of Sly and giving him some clothes, “Wear this for now”
Sly didn’t think twice, he felt weird standing naked in front of people that were still processing everything that had happened so far.
The person that incited the event just grinded his teeth while he took the lost, Orobourus was not an organization he could even dream to go against and that meant that he now had to pay the price they were hoping to get for their slave and then spent more money to rebuild the arm. .
It was a very expensive lesson in business etiquette. The only comfort that the business man had was that Lulu was not a part of Zik’s Survival Games team and so far the Slave he bought was non-impressive.
“Can you take this neck thing off”
“No… Every single person participating in the games has to wear one, it is part of the game”
Sigh...
“When are the games starting”
“Soon”
“Do you know each other”
“NO”
“NO”
Zik just smiled at the two of them and didn’t say anything else. He didn’t care about where they had met before as long as he won the games. So far, Lulu had been the best personal assistant he had hired and if she said that the Slave could achieve victory then there was something to it.
The three boarded a luxurious aircraft and departed towards the training facilities for the games.
“Can you tell me about the Games”
“The games are known as the tesseract games, they will take place on the 5th moon of Planet Mir-33. Inside the moon, you will be assigned to one of the two cities who are hostile towards each other. It is a dog eat dog type of place, a lot of the players are slaves like yourself that have committed hideous crimes and were captured. The other portion are teams and groups of corporations seeking to promote their products and gain recognition”.
“I am innocent!”
“Whatever ... You will be entering as a group of five representing the Fintech corporation. The collar around your neck will track your progress and release your abilities little by little. There are two ways to gain points and move up in the rankings, the first way is through the killing of members of the opposite city in the open world and the other is through the death matches”.
“Each player has to participate in at least one death match every week but there are 3 being hosted every day. You can participate as a team or alone to meet your quota but the team you will be pair against is chosen according to the highest rank player on your own team so got to make sure you can’t move too far ahead”
“If you can make it to the top of the Oroborus ranking, then Fintech corporation not only will guarantee your freedom but make you a rich man”
“How much money are we talking about?”
Zik sneer and a hologram came up, “is not that easy”
“No seriously, How much? 100 million E.C?”

“Don’t forget what you said,” Sly continued to check the information while Zik retired to the luxury room in the spacecraft to handle other business and let Lulu handle the rest.
“Here, this is for you” said Lulu
Out of her space folder a cube came out. Sly immediately recognized what it was, a new space folder.
“Have your chip recognize it. Mother said that what she promised is inside”
