Beast Monster System

"Who is this?" Jake asked Blake as he laid down Nala to the ground.

"Guess who," Blake replied briefly.

Jake immediately frowned after he got such an answer from Blake.

"It's the Bigfoot, Captain," Shawn told Jake. All members of The Saviors were near Aksel at the moment. Blake and Shawn, who brought the fainted Nala, made Jade and the rest of the teens decide to finally approach Jake and Aksel as well because they were curious about that girl. Blake and Shawn came from a different direction from them, so Jade, Cole, Cheryl, Chandler, Rosemarie, and Curtis really had to approach Aksel and Jake to get the answer to their question.

"The Bigfoot?!" Cheryl made sure to Blake and Shawn, she was so surprised to hear that, she also looked at Nala in disbelief afterwards, just like the rest of them, except for Blake and Shawn, obviously.

"Yes," Shawn responded to his twin sister immediately after.

"This b!tch …" Jade muttered. None of them expected that Nala's human form would be like that, including Jade.

"Wow … she got a nice … look, doesn't she?" Curtis said, trying very hard not to say chest, or even boobs.

"With this, our question had been answered, Captain. Bigfoots are indeed humans," Shawn spoke to Jake.

"But what happened? Why did she change her form? Was it because she tried to escape when almost everyone wasn't near her?" Jake asked Shawn.

"Yes, she immediately changed her form after you all left. She managed to escape, but I could easily find her with the help of the insects. I also asked Blake for help because I thought watching the snakes and those dead men weren't needed anymore. This girl alone has answered all of our questions," Shawn explained to the Captain.

"Wait, I still have no idea about what I did yesterday after I activated the Beast Monster System. Why did you guys say that I killed all the Bigfoots except this girl?" Aksel then joined the conversation, he stopped eating the deer meat for a while since his belly started to full.

"What the f*ck happened to you?!" Blake immediately asked Aksel afterwards, he was just aware of Aksel's presence here and was very shocked to see him like that.

Aksel then tried to get up, but he was still too weak to be able to do it. He was struggling for a moment just to get up, before Rosemarie then quickly came to help him.

"L-let me … help you," Rosemarie said to Aksel, she didn't hesitate at all to help him even though his whole body was literally covered with the deer's blood.

"Ah, thank you so much, Rosemarie," Aksel replied less than a second later. Rosemarie grabbed his hand afterwards and helped him to stand up. After standing up, Aksel smiled at her, it was also because Rosemarie didn't get off her hand from Aksel's because she knew that the boy would fall if he had no one to hold, she understood that Aksel couldn't control his balance at the moment.

And then there was Cole, he didn't look happy at all to see this. "May I do it for you, Rosemarie?" He spoke to the girl he liked afterwards.

"Oh? … s-sure …" Rosemarie responded kinda confusedly a moment later, she wasn't really sure what it meant and what was the actual purpose of Cole saying it, but she let go of Aksel a couple of seconds later and she was letting Cole become the one who helped Aksel to keep standing.

"Thank you. I just don't want your hand to hurt, you cooked a lot of fish earlier, right? Your hands must have felt kind of sore because of that, so it'll be dangerous for you if you hold Aksel's hand to help him keep up his balance," Cole told Rosemarie after he became the one who helped Aksel to keep standing.

"U-uh … ahahaha … thank you so much, Cole," Rosemarie replied to Cole's words afterwards. She didn't really know what to say, but her soft voice alone could make Cole happy, so it didn't matter if she didn't praise Cole for his 'understanding', at least for Cole.

"Thanks, Cole, you're very kind," Aksel thanked Cole too a moment later, he also smiled at him.

"Yeah, no problem," Cole stated.

'This is absolutely disgusting, his body's smell is literally the worst smell I've ever known, he makes me wanna vomit. Sh*t, if only not for Rosemarie, I would never do this,' Cole thought a second later.

"This is his first quest," Jake then told Blake who still hadn't gotten the answer to his question yet.

"What?" Blake said in disbelief, he also kinda looked confused, even he frowned afterwards.

"In essence, I have to do this to survive, if I fail, I'll die," Aksel added.

"Anyway, guys, do you know what her name is?" Curtis suddenly changed the topic of the conversation by asking Blake and Shawn about Nala's name. Curt literally couldn't stop admiring her beauty, and her chest beauty, he didn't even stop staring at the girl since 2 minutes ago, he kept staring at the same spot for around 2 minutes.

"No, but we'll ask her everything once she's awake," Shawn answered Curt's question a moment later.

"Oh yeah, that's a great idea, let me give her some additional questions too. To be honest, I am probably now regretting that I attacked her yesterday," Curtis stated.

Jade immediately turned her head towards him after she heard that, she was kinda surprised to hear it, but she also got confused, her forehead frowned too, and she looked at him with a facial expression that was a mix of these feelings. "Are you f*cking kidding me?" She said to Curtis afterwards.

"It's stupid if I am," Curtis responded so quickly without turning his gaze towards Nala to anywhere else.

"What do you want to ask her?" Cheryl was curious about the additional questions that Curtis had mentioned.

"Not important to us, but definitely important to me," Curt answered.

"Alright, guys, we have to explain to Aksel about what happened yesterday, we also have to keep supporting him to finish this deer's meat. Perhaps he'll find it easier to eat the meat while getting the explanation to his question," Jake spoke to all members of The Saviors.

"I hope so. After all, I also have something to tell you guys, it's about what I felt the moment after I used my skill, I just remembered that I experienced a couple of strange things at that time, it was … scary," Aksel stated dramatically. Everyone, except Curt, could only be silent while staring at him when he said that all.

***

Mars, The Leaders District.

"I don't think they're dead yet, they have the systems, I know they are able to survive, even for a long time, despite the fact we're talking about still-on-train kids," Frederick Lynch stated.

It had been 2 days since The Leaders lost contact with The Saviors, right now they were holding a private, secretive meeting. In a secret room, 7/7 of them gathered, sat down around a big round table.

"I am skeptical about that. They got only a couple of days to be adaptive with the systems being into one with them, I think the systems wouldn't help them that much, moreover for your son," Regina Jennings replied to Frederick.

"I kinda agree with Jennings, but I want to talk about another thing here. Now, Marsh, what do you think about this situation?" Damian White said. He looked at Bradley Marsh with a look of suspicion afterwards.

Bradley immediately turned his gaze to Damian. "Why me?" He asked a second later.

"Send them to the Earth this early was your idea, if only we waited for at least three months, they might have a chance to survive by now," Damian answered.

"So what? You can't personally blame me for this accident, that was our final decision, we eventually took that decision together, we all agreed to do that," Bradley told Damian.

Everyone then fell into silence, a tense silence, moreover because Bradley and Damian were later kept staring at each other, both with a sharp look.

"We won't blame anyone here. And aside from this unnecessary little topic, I believe our kids are still alive, I still have the same thought as I did before this accident happened, they're ready and able to face this kind of situation, I have no doubt on them at all," Bradley finally continued after the 1-minute silence, he also turned his head and gaze from Damian afterwards.

"I don't think it's about whether we're doubting them or not, we all believe on them-"

"I know, Stevens," Bradley immediately interrupted Karen Stevens.

"And thus, I'll suggest we leave Mars in less than a week from now," he said less than a second later. Everyone was shocked to hear that.

"What are you talking about, Marsh?!" Warren Greenwood seemed to disagree with Bradley.

"It's too fast, Marsh, calm down," Bill Kinsman told Bradley.

"You all are too naive, don't you think The Martians have planned something against us by now? We have to take this big step before they take their big step. Unless you all want our efforts to be wasted just like that, maybe I'll just mind myself," Bradley stated.

"Take a note, Marsh, I won't hesitate to kill you once you become selfish," Frederick confronted Bradley.

"Then I won't hesitate to do it first once you keep being naive," Bradley replied to Frederick a moment later.

"Lynch, it's just about time, you'll regret your decision, not choosing your dearest son, Lucas, over your useless son, Aksel, is your biggest mistake. You thought it would be dangerous to make Lucas have a system, but it's the opposite. I have no idea why you can't see where he's heading to, I'm afraid he's gonna be the leader of The Martians' revolution. It's only about time, Lynch, you have to do something before he does it first, unless you want him to step on your head, take out your brain, and roast it," Bradley continued, every pair of eyes kept looking at him. 

Bradley then got up. "I'll give all of you one week, if none of you agree with me, then I have no other choice," he said afterwards.

"You lost your mind, we definitely won't have the same voice as yours again this time," Regina spoke to Bradley kinda angrily a moment later.

"Right. This is totally ridiculous," Warren added.

"Hmph, you guys are blind. Fine, I won't force any of you," Bradley stated. He then walked over to the exit.

"Remember the consequences you can get if you do something out of limit, Marsh," Bill told Bradley, but the father of Rosemarie kept walking and didn't care about that, he also had a devilish grin as he opened the exit.
