Chapter 5 - chapter 5: New Job with the Crew

Alright, I've got back up. Do I need it? I will not admit to them I don't. I am rad. This is just a hangout with violence basically.

"Thanks guys. I appreciate you helping me clean up these assholes." I say warmly.

"You're welcome." Lucius says warmly.

"No prob. Let's kill some fuckers." Chelsea says with malefic glee.

There is like, I don't know, a hundred alien soldiers outside with similar physiques to the last guy I beat up. We begin with long ranged fire. Me and Lucius fire down with our guns. My desert eagles, his golden revolver. And Chelsea just fires down arrows from her magical gold bow of some bullshit. Did she steal it from Artemis? I don't remember too well.

Anyway, we kill like, 12 maybe. Before they fucking start aiming their ship at my apartment building. Which is really annoying. And I hear the panic of the city as they realize I've made an army with a space battleship show up.

In response, I do something epic as always. I sheathe a pistol and draw my black katana. I charge up a powerful Flying Slash, and cut in half not only the massive missile they fired at us, making it explode early. But also the ship itself. Cause I'm awesome. The ship crashes down upon their soldiers, killing like. Almost all of them.

Then we do clean up very quickly. Just jumping down, me and Chelsea. While Lucius does ranged support. And we kill everyone else. Huzzah. I pay for cleanup and automatic looting. Chelsea picks up like, 5 energy rifles. And that's that.

Then we just hang out for a while. Nothing cool happens so we're skipping that.

August messages us all on the group chat.

August C.: Guys, I have a job I need at least three of you guys on. Jacob doesn't count, I need finesse for part of this. Shadow, Grimmer. I'd prefer you guys. And the third can just volunteer.

Jacob D.: So what's the job?

August C.: We are to kill the Dictator of a entire dimension. Known as Ronaldo Depacarto, he has enslaved an entire dimension with his military and advanced technology. We are to avoid killing slaves.

Grimmer: damn are any of the soldier's slaves?

August C: Yes, some of them are. You can tell who they are by the bomb collars on their necks.

Shadow: I am busy this week. I'm on vacation.

August C.: Okay, there's no real deadline. We can start next week. What about then?

Shadow: I'm down then.

Grimmer: I can come as well.

August C.: Nice, I need one more that isn't Jacob. We're using him mainly for combat. He is not a stealth specialist. And I worry he'll kill slaves. He is rather careless.

Jacob D.: I would totally not do that. Probably. A fight can be chaotic guys.

Nathaniel F.: I can come along. Next week then?

August C.: Next week guys. Take care, get rest.

Next week comes. We are all at a meet up spot where August has parked her epic spaceship that we stole one time on another mission. And she's been upgrading it for years now. It's basically a flying fortress of death and despair. It is awesome, and the size of my cock. I mean a football stadium and the field. It's shaped like a star wars star destroyer or some shit. I dunno, I'm not an architect. We're sitting on the bridge, chilling as August drives us to the dimensional gate that will transition us or some shit to the dimension that Depacarto owns.

August is a fit, athletic black chick with gold hair and gold eyes. She has on some fucking capitalist makeup set up with gold lipstick, and silver and green fingernails. She's wearing a red and black pant suit and she's armed with weapons that basically show up like Borderlands. She also has an energy shield. And her powers are weird. It's mainly technology, but also she can control the strings of fate. Whatever those are. I thought only the greek oracles could or some shit. Is she greek?

"August, do you have greek blood?" I ask calmly.

"What? No. I don't think so. My mom was American. And no, I don't know if she was an immigrant. I didn't ask before she died." August says calmly.

"Why would you ask that?" Grimmer asks, curious.

"I was bored and wondering how she controls the strings of fate." I say calmly.

"It's cause I just figured it out. I'm based like that." August says proudly.

August presses buttons on the ship's control panel. And smiles with cocky malice as the gate begins teleporting us. Putting us in some stupid energy tunnel.

"Is this a wormhole?" I ask, curious.

"Something like that. We pop out in like, five minutes on his command planet's surface. We will be posing as ordinary celebrities visiting. Jacob, you're actually gonna stay put with me in the hotel. Everyone else has jobs to do eventually. We all go to the hotel at first." August explains calmly.

"Bruh. Gay." I complain.

"I think it's gay I have work while you sit around." Nathaniel Firefang says warmly.

Nathaniel is like, literally half draconian or some shit. He's half covered in bright red dragon scales, and has dragon wings sticking out holes of his jacket. He wears a dark red leather jacket, no shirt, showing off his abs. And blue jean shorts with brown boots. All his exposed "skin" is really just scales.

"Yeah. Well, I think it's cool. Me and Shadow will be done quickly as per usual." Grimmer says happily.

Grimmer is a pale goth chick wearing her usual grim reaper cloak with her scythe. She's literally supposed to be the grim reaper of Shadow apparently. Except she got bored and fell in love with him.

Shadow is a black dude that wears a cool ninja outfit. His black jacket is covered near perfectly with shurikans that double as his armor. His pants are just leather black pants and he wears black boots. He has short black dreads.

They both have insane super speed and can turn invisible and other bullshit ninja stuff. They're so fast, they're like the Flash in traumatic ways. If it wasn't for magic, they wouldn't be able to communicate with us. They're so fast they need magical spells to nerf their speed so they can have conversations and exist at a normal pace.

I met them at a bar during a mission gone well. Where I killed like, Shadow's uncle or something. No love lost, his family hates him and he hates them.

The warp journey or whatever ends, and August parks our ship inside the hotel's spaceship dock. It's actually a pretty sweet place. Reminds me of Mass Effect and that starting city. The nice part where politicans hang out at.
