Harem Reborn

Chapter 109: Agent 54

/You're kidding me, right?

//We didn't have a lot of time; you were only out for fifteen minutes. Most of them freak out, but Tilly and I tried to explain that this has happened before, in the other games. So, then I thought up this plan, and we talked about how it would work, and here we are! -Iona.

//You have to admit it was a good plan -Tama.

/There is no denying it wasn't genius, but we could have had a quick test, right?

//No, we could only lift it because it was already going up. It would be too heavy, so we just had to hope it worked -Iona.

We were partway up the hill path going out of the canyon, so I decided to sit back and relax. No point in crying over milk spilled; what's done is done. I closed my eyes and drifted off.

I opened my eyes, but something wasn't right again! This time I was in a ship's pilot seat, and I had the same blue lines, but they were glowing now. I tried to move, but my body wouldn't respond; it was like I was just along for the ride. Suddenly, I heard a voice come from the comm system.

//Agent 54, return to the ship, that is an order. It is too soon to bring this one in -Unknown female voice.

"No, I can't leave! She won't make it if we leave her!" My voice argued back.

Who were they talking about? Was I an agent? For who? Was I an enemy?

//Denied, you can not stay agent! You are too important as a Meteorian, and you and needed to pilot... -Unknown female voice. 

"No! This is not a request! I am cutting off the communications and be preforming a Foreign Crash Landing Protocol, so don't worry about the clean-up. Don't try to find me. I will find you!" My words came out with resolve and anger.

My body started to move, pressing strange patterns, and then opening a small glass door with a red button and pushed it. The ship turned from black space, and I could see the planet I had come from in the display. I could feel the anger and resentment towards the person on the other side of the comm, the same as the me I was inhabiting. 

The blue and green planet was getting closer, and soon, the ship started to shake. The shake was slow at first, but warning lights were going off everywhere. Soon the ship began to shake violently, but I began to power more power into the ship, my lines burning blue. The ship started moving faster and breaking up, and abruptly the voice came back.

//You leave me no choice agent, we can not allow you to roam free with this knowledge. Activating Abandon Ship Portocol

I was back on a ship... How did I get here? Oh no, the ground was so close...

"AHHH!" I screamed as I bolted awake, and Iona almost flipped the Mega-Buggy, swerving in fright. 

//HEY! What's the big idea screaming into the mic?! -Iona

//Are you okay?! -The rest.

/Sorry, I was having a bad dream. I crashed a plane and woke up, so... Sorry

I looked back at Tama in her suit as she looked out the window. How did I find her if my memories were wiped, and what was I a part of? I need to get back to the ship and see what is in that chest. Whatever it is, it has to be something to do with my past.

Maybe this was just a game, but I think my past might be very important. Unlocking it could be the thing that I need to win. These memories would have to wait, and I decided that I wouldn't bother Jill about it until we got back.

The rest of the trip was short; the girls had stopped but stayed in the buggy and ate while I slept. It was about mid-afternoon when we got back, and we had to open the door because of the metal roof. The sun was baking down on us, cooking us like an oven. 

When we finally pulled into the dark cave, we all let out audible sighs. Only our suits let us survive the heat inside the Mega-Buggy, and once we parked and got out, we could see the heat waves pouring out. I was like looking at an open oven, and I opened my helmet as soon as I was out and gasped fresh, cool, and non-super heated air.

"Oh, that was too hawt in there!"

Mikota came stumbling over to me and fell into my arms. Her face was red, and she was sweating inside her MAS. She stared up at me with pleading eyes, and I sighed. I reached down and put my arm under Mikota's knees, picking her up. 

"Thank coo," Mikota said as she puffed in her suit.

"You know, she is only going to keep doing that if you keep indulging her like that!"

I turned to Maxine's voice and smiled when I saw her and Sasha walking up. Both women were smiling at us, but everyone was out of gas. It had been a long and hard trip with crazy sleep patterns, so everyone was tired differently. 

"Did everything go well?" Sasha asked.

"Yeah, we did real good, hehe, but we all need a wash and sleep, maybe some skewers."

"Let's all head back into the cave, and Dresnal will come and grab the Pure gems."

"Don't forget to grab the Chaos Gems and the two Monstrous ones!" Iona chimed as we started to walk toward the interior camp.

"WHAT?!" Both Maxine and Sasha shouted at the same time.

"How is that possible? Wait, Dave, your face? What are those blue lines? What happened to you guys out there?"

"Good question, but also one that can be answered over skewers after a shower. Come on; we want to hear about everything you three have learned while we have been out messing around!"
