Nekrikos 8: Incoming Terrors

We trudged back to our forest base, wearily.

"This sucks man." I sighed, placing my rather damaged sword on the floor. The battle was short, but we failed anyways.

"Whatever. We only have 7 days to prepare. To justify, we only just knew about him actually destroying a place near our area." Entity 303 dropped his scythe and rested on the couch.

 I realise we haven't been communicating with our other groups

 Hmm, that's true. You want to try?

 A friend of mine is apparently a lone wolf, he's on his own. He brought a communication device that allows me to communicate with him if I press a specific code.

I took out something that looked like a walkie-talkie:

 E6HB8D, this should be it.

The device started making some sounds, like the ones you get when you start calling someone.

"Hello?"

 DUDE! Jax! is that you?

 Yeah, it's always me.... **small crash** ah shit.

 Damn mate, I was worried about you? Where have you been?

 I've been staying in my base, but it got destroyed yesterday. I'm camping somewhere.

 You wanna come over?

 Hah....how? We're literally miles away from each other.

 Well, true, but 303 can give you a ride.

 Bro, are you playing with me? Isn't 303 that evil hoodie guy.

HEY I'M ON THE GOOD SIDE EVEN IT'S ITS CLICHE OR NO-

 You heard that. 303 go get him. He should be over.

I switched it off. 303 had already left to bring my friend over.

 Anyways, should we get out those gems?

 Yeah, we have to. We're gonna use them to craft some special armour.

I went up to the next floor of our base, to the safe where we kept our gems. After typing in some passwords and doing the fingerprint verification, I finally got the two remaining gems out and went down. Jax was already there.

 Nice base dude, and whatever you're holding in your hands.

<Phoenix> Oh nothing, just some gems that we really need. Armour stuff.

<Jax> And that's 303, ok......

<Dallas> So, anyways, back to what I wanted to do. Nekrikos is challenging us to fight him in the next 7 days. We're preparing as much resources as we need, like potions, swords you name it.

<Dallas> Phoenix, take the two gems up to the crafting room. There are some diamonds to craft the armour. Remember, the gem goes in the middle of the chestplate.

<Phoenix> On it.

<Dallas> Jax, I trust you to brew some strength potions. The potion room is next to the crafting room.

<Jax> Hell yeah man, I love brewing potions!

<Dallas> Take the bottles and go u-

Jax had already swiped them off the table into his hands and ran up the stairs. A crash was heard later.

<Jax> Shiet, mah bad dude.

<Dallas> You're lucky I made those really durable. Anyways, 303, fix the swords and also ask Phoenix for a little bit of gem material for the swords.

Alright.

** About 3 hours later**

<Phoenix> Nice. Now that we have our weapons prepared ,what do we do?

<Dallas> Stock them in the emergency storage room. We have to continue practicing our fighting skills.

I stocked whatever we had created. Potions, the special armour and swords, some more enchanted arrows.

<Phoenix> Let's go practice now. We have a few days.
