Author's Note: Unedited Chapters ------------- This occurrence completely shocked them as they realised they were thousands of feet away from Gustav's position. Bang! Bang! Bang! "Shatter!" Gustav stated as he held onto seventeen feet wide traingular glass which was thinner than a thread. Swinging one of his fist forward once more with intensity, Gustav drilled a hole through the glass, causing a powerful shockwave to rock the vicinity. Boooom! Krrrycchhhhhh! 'Finally,' More cracks spread across the glass from the point where his fist had gone through. As Gustav pulled his arm out, he could see that his entire fist was covered in blood despite the milky glow that initially coated it. As there was no time to waste since the groups here were very high in number, Gustav shattered the mirror even more, snapping it into multiple pieces. After all of this was done he told E.E to open a vortex that would get them out of there quickly. Fwwhii~ He lifted into the sky quickly, dodging multiple projectiles from the attacks of the groups around him who remained unrelenting in getting him. "You may have destroyed the mirror but you delivered yourself directly into our grasp without much stress," "We shall not let you leave without taking the Viondur eggs off your hands," Two voices could be heard from the multiple participants chasing after Gustav. At that same instant, they launched a joint attack, causing two massive palms to descend from the sky. The greyish hands were so massive that they blotted out the sky and caused the winds to howl crazily. 'Everyone leave right away,' Gustav said through the mind link, to the rest who were still fending off the opponents around instead of leaving through the vortex. Gustav was still thousands of feet away from the position of the vortex despite giving this instruction and it looked like he was in a pinch as both palms descended. The descent of the palms brought forth an immense pressure that had carved out hand prints across a radius spanning for thousands of feet, affecting even the vortex that was quite a distance away. "Get away quick!" "Flee!" Even the oppositions were trying to flee the area of concentration as they were also affected but the pressure the palms emitted had bound some of them in place. Gustav wings struggled against the strong winds trying to push him to the ground as they spread out wider before sweeping backwards with intensity. Swwwweeeeiiiiihhhh~ Gustav's body propelled forward swiftly, scrapping a little across the surface of the descending palms as he arrived before the vortex. Pwwwhiiii! The instant he phased through the vortex the massive palms collided with the ground, causing the surroundings to tremble greatly as a high number of participants got swept across the vicinity like sheets of paper. "Arrrgghhh!" Cries rang out as the vortex dissappeared a moment later. Fwwwhiii~ Winds spread across the environment in their location as some of the residual energy from the palms swept into the vortex before it closed up. Fortunately, everyone seemed to be okay and already went in before Gustav did. "Well, we should have some peace and quiet before the challenge ends now," Teemee voiced with a sigh of relief. "Don't jinx it," E.E said before sitting on the ground. "It should end in another one day so if we stay out of their way it should be fine," Falco voiced before sitting beside E.E. "What happened to stealing their eggs if they tried to steal ours," Yonda stated with a look of dissatisfaction. "I would have actually done that if you guys weren't here," Gustav responded. "Are you insinuating that we're weighing you down?" Yonda voiced with a triggered expression as he turned to face Gustav. "Yes, sometimes. I cannot go all out because i have to consider the rest of you getting hit by an attack from me," Gustav replied with a straight face. "Wha- what? Oh my God did you guys hear that? This guy really sees us as nuisances," Yonda said while looking around with an expression of dismay. "Because teamwork is important, I chose what is ths best for the group to make sure there are no drawbacks," Gustav voiced once more. "And he just keeps going! How are you guys okay with being called baggages? I am not baggage!" Yonda said while sticking his finger out before Gustav. "He's more concerned with everyone remaining in one piece so leave it be," Teemee voiced from the side. "There are attacks some of us cannot unleash when our comrades are in the vicinity in fear of harming them as well so we tend to hold back. That's normal in a team and Gustav just happens to have many of those sorts of attacks," Aildris stated as well. Gustav ignored Yonda tantrums as he already felt this was normal. When the group was around him, he would make the best decision that would keep everyone safe. If he was alone, he could throw caution out the window and acted as he pleased. This was one of the reasons Gustav wasn't a fan of groups and prefered solo action in the past. However, he had now come to understand how having a group was beneficial due to multiple situations. Whenever it was time to act alone he would and when the time cam to act solo, he would do the needful as well. The phrase 'There is a time for everything' had borne meaning to him. "E.E take us further from here," Gustav instructed. He wanted to make sure they would remain untraceable by the others who were trying to get them. After traveling through vortexes a couple of times, the group finally settled beside a body of what looked like a frozen waterfall. He created an iro silk barrier that shielded the entire group and they proceeded to wait as that was the best course of action right now. ############ -"My goodness, how are they able to do such?" -"This is bad, they need to stay away from the Phixiq group," -"They eggs will be stolen before they can realise it, if they cross paths, -"We can only hope they don't cross paths," In earth's spectating area, some of the spectators seemed to be worried about a particular group being displayed on one of the floating screens. It turned out that this alien group were capable of stealing eggs from other groups without having to engage them in a physical brawl. Other planets spectating areas had worried expressions as well since some of them had witnessed the same thing. Some of their candidates were already victims of the Phixiq group. The group were scouring the fourth disk to the best of their abilities so as to cross path with any group they could find and obtain their egg. The fourth disk was still riddled with battles at multiple locations due to others trying to acquire eggs from other groups before time ran out. Whenever the Phixiq group came close to such places, they would acquire the eggs of everyone there if the groups battling were in possession of eggs. They didn't need to engage in the battle and would leave as quickly as they arrived. Earth spectators were hoping that this group would not come into contact with earth's participants before the challenge ended. While this had a very low chance of happening, they were still worried that this group would end up acquiring more than the current number of eggs earth participants had gathered so far. ######### 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺 Boom! Boom! Boom! Explosions blasted all across the vicinity as a figure leapt from blade to blade, dodging their descent. Thwwiiihhh! Thhhiiiissshhhh~ Thousands of massive thirty feet long blades were slicing across the air at very quick pace, spreading a layer of mist as they sizzled intensely. Upon contact with his feet, the massive blades shooting forward at the figure would combust, sending more blasts across the vicinity. As flames spread, consuming the figure within, the creatures chasing from behind had looks of relief only for their faces to lit up in disbelief again. Fwwwhiiii~ The figure has leapt out of the flames unscatched as a milky glow covered his entirety. "Maybe I should have stayed in," Gustav muttered as the two Viondur eggs in his grasp dissapeared into his storage device. - (Six Hours Ago) "Around seven hours should be left before the challenge ends," Gustav voiced within the covering of the iro silk barrier. "Yeah we're really close. It will come to an end before we know it," Matilda voiced in response. "I'm going out to steal eggs," Gustav stated while standing to his feet. "What?" Teemee voiced with a tone of confusion. "We're okay with this many. I don't see the need to acquire more," Falco voiced as well. "I feel uneasy. You guys stay in here, it would be better if I go alone," Gustav voiced while stepping forward. "Let's exchange before I leave," Gustav said while handing a blueish button to Aildris. Aildris paused for a bit before nodding and handing Gustav a similar looking blueish button.
