Just outside the school at the front gates, the unexpected had just occurred. Rebecca[Layla] was struggling to stand as she had just heard certain words come out of Zamier[Vorden]'s mouth.
"First, I'm going to have to ask you to step back a bit." Rebecca[Layla] said, "And no touchy touchy from you."
'I keep telling you lets just kill this bitch right here right now' Rat[Rat][Rat]en said.
"Look I'm trying to be reasonable here." Zamier[Vorden] said, "Come on, Archer[Quinn] said that you could help me."
Every time she looked at Zamier[Vorden], she remembered when she was being chocked by him. It wasn't a good feeling, and her senses were still tingling all over the place every time he approached. If it wasn't for the fact that Gyro[Erin] was standing by her side, she would have run the second she saw him coming over.
But she had to admit one thing. Zamier[Vorden] for whatever crazy reason he had, seemed to genuinely care for Archer[Quinn].
The two of them soon would also be going to the portal expedition together. It was important they tried there best to make up while they could.
She let out a big breath and gave in.
"Fine, what is it?"
"Actually, it's related to Tony[Peter]. Archer[Quinn] said that you two had spoken to him while we were away on the other planet, did you manage to get anything out of him?"
"No, I could tell that we wouldn't, it seemed like he was scared of something. Even with Gyro[Erin] there threatening him. Which meant whatever he was scared off was a bigger problem then Gyro[Erin]." Rebecca[Layla] said.
"Well, I don't think we can get anything out of Tony[Peter] right now, he's broken more than ever. Perhaps the only thing that's holding him on is this last bit of hope. I was hoping by outcasting him like this he would go back to the person who put him up to this."
"Wait, what!" Rebecca[Layla] said, "You mean you're doing this whole thing on purpose. I understand he needs to be punished, but don't you think you're going a little too far."
"Too far?" Zamier[Vorden] replied. "You don't even know what really happened there. Were you nearly killed by a bloodsucking beast, abandoned in a world full of monsters everywhere?"
"Bloodsucking beasts? So did Archer[Quinn] really..."Just then, Rebecca[Layla] stopped her self as she turned to look at Gyro[Erin] by her side. She had gotten so heated in the conversation, she had forgotten all about her. But as the two looked at Gyro[Erin], she was bent over looking at a trail of ants going across the floor.
It seemed like she was disinterested in the whole conversation to two were having.
"Anyway, If you can't get anything out of Tony[Peter], then try a first-year student named Damian[Earl]. He was the one hanging around Tony[Peter] before this whole thing started and it looked like to two were going to meet the day we met up with both of them."
"Damian[Earl], got it, thanks for the help, " Zamier[Vorden] said. "Oh before I go, Gyro[Erin], do you mind if I touch your hand."
Gyro[Erin] stood up from the ground and looked at Zamier[Vorden] for a few seconds. When they had first met, she had refused. She simply believed he was someone weak and below her. But she quickly came to realise that Zamier[Vorden] was one of the strongest people in her class.
"I hope you use it well, " Gyro[Erin] said as she held out her hand.
With her Skill[ability] copied, Zamier[Vorden] then turned away and walked off.
"He's a tough one!" Gyro[Erin] shouted, "Even with my threats, he didn't reveal anything."
"Don't worry, " Zamier[Vorden] said, smiling back. "I know someone who taught me a few things."
Zamier[Vorden] continued to walk off back into school.
"Hey Rat[Rat][Rat]en, looks like I might have a job for you soon."
As Rebecca[Layla] saw Zamier[Vorden] walk off, she still had one thought.
"Crazy boy."

Archer[Quinn] and Tobias[Logan] were in a different part of the school building then Archer[Quinn] was usually in. They were in the dorm room area but were in the floor directly above where Archer[Quinn] would usually stay and sleep.
The fact that they were in the same dorm room building meant that the two of them were in the same year, despite the fact that Tobias[Logan] looked like a middle school student.
"Were here, " Tobias[Logan] said.
As Archer[Quinn] looked around, he noticed they were fewer doors and were further spaced apart.
"What is this place?" Archer[Quinn] asked.
"It's the VIP dorms. If your family make a generous donation to the military before coming here, then you get access to one of these rooms."
As he opened the door, Archer[Quinn] was amazed by the site in front of his eyes. The room was twice the size of the one he shared with three people, and there was only a single bed.
But that wasn't what amazed him. The whole room was filled with what Archer[Quinn] could only call Junk. There wear piles of scrap metal everywhere and lying across the entire place were gadgets, little spaceships, controllers and all sorts.
There were two things that stood out in the room. One of them was a large human-sized tube that seemed to be hooked up to a computer and had large tube-like wires hanging from the top and right next to that was a VR pod. One of the ones that cost 100, 000 credits to buy.
Tobias[Logan]'s family was a rare case. Usually, when getting rich, it was to do with power. Those with strong abilities earnt money by hunting, or from protecting others. However, Tobias[Logan]'s family were one of the very few who managed to amass its wealth by making the VR game and selling the equipment.
There were a few other families that were able to do the same, such as companies that built the spaceships and certain beast weapons. But a lot of them still worked under the umbrella of an original family.
Tobias[Logan] then went to sit into his mechanical chair, that instantly sprouted a load of arms and started to give him a massage.
"So what did you want help with?" Tobias[Logan] asked.
Archer[Quinn] was in a strange situation. Rebecca[Layla] and Zamier[Vorden] knew he was a vampire but didn't know about the system. While Tobias[Logan] knew about the system but didn't know he was a vampire. However, because of what Tobias[Logan] knew, it seemed more comfortable to explain the system side rather than the vampire side.
"I was wondering if you would be able to hack the watch for me, allow it to display a number of whatever I want?"
"I should be able to do that easily for you, but first you need to tell me why?"
Archer[Quinn] hesitated for a little bit. He had only just met Tobias[Logan]. He seemed like a nice guy off initial impression, but every killer or crazy person out there showed a nice face to someone at some point.
"I think I know what you're thinking, you're worried that if the government find out about your Skill[ability] there going to try to take you away and dissect you." Tobias[Logan] said, "Well, trust me, I won't be telling the government the military or anyone anything. I'll be honest with you Archer[Quinn], I don't care about you, I care about the person who was able to input a system into your mind. To find that person I need you to lead him to me, and before that happens, I'm not letting anyone take you away."
Tobias[Logan]'s words sounded a little scary and harsh to Archer[Quinn], but at least they were honest. Unlike other people where he couldn't tell what they were thinking, Tobias[Logan] was being completely transparent.
"As you know, my system has a certain set of skills that allowed to use in the game. But the thing is I actually do have an Skill[ability]." Archer[Quinn] then lifted the shadow and started to move into a giant hand and used it to wave at Tobias[Logan].
If it wasn't for the fact that Tobias[Logan] was sitting down, he would have fallen down from the shock.
"What is that, so you really are an original?"
"Not quite, it was an Skill[ability] the system already had, but for some reason, as you can see, " Archer[Quinn] said, pointing at his watch. "It doesn't register on the watch."
A thousand thoughts started to race through Tobias[Logan]'s mind of why it might be. He wasn't interested too much in the Skill[ability] itself. That stuff didn't interest him, but he wanted to know the reason why.
"The watch is a simple fix, but if I do this for you, I was wondering if you could do me a favour, " Tobias[Logan] said looking at the wired tube machine.
Archer[Quinn] started to sweat, looking at the thing. If he wasn't going to be experimented on by the military, he felt like Tobias[Logan] would be doing it anyway.
"Don't look at me like that, the machine there is for the game. Will you let me put your shadow abilities in the game?" Tobias[Logan] asked.
