Chapter 66 The first contract 1 (1/2)
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* BE---
Hearing his alarm clock Mars quickly opened his eyes and looked around with drowsy eyes and found it floating not to far from his bed
”come here you little shit”
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BE---
Slightly grumpy and with no other target Mars blamed the poor alarm clock and waved his hand after it but found that it was just out of reach
”oh for the love of all that is holy... I will kill you when I catch you!”
Mars pressed the release on the side off his bed that turned off the magnets that held him to the bed in the zero G environment and pushed off the bed with one hand
”got you, now DIE!”
*BEEP*
With a harder then necessarily click Mars turned off the alarm clock and garbed it before he pushed off the ceiling and landed near his bed where he grabbed the edge off the bed for stability as he floated around and put on his boots and flicked on the magnets boots before he stepped down on the floor
”there we go...”
Mars locked the alarm clock to his bedside table and grabbed his jumpsuit that was floating around and after putting it on he took a glance at earth though the window in his cabin and left the go wake up his squad
”captain on deck!”
One of the more alert grunts spotted him and yelled out to the others that quickly lined up and saluted Mars
”very good!”
Mars gave a smile as he watched the 30 elite soldiers that he had trained himself lined up in front off him
”at ease, today is a very special day”
He scanned over the soldiers one by one as he spoke with a grin on his face
”today is the day of the dreaded power armor orbit drop, so be sure to suit up probably! I don't want to send you asses back to mama in a bottle!”
”””YES CAPTAIN”””
Mars opened his eyes again and came face to face with cute, or rather Victoria that was lining on his chest and was staring into his face at close proximity with her big blue eyes
”...good morning Victoria”
Victoria lay still and continued to stare into his face for a while more before he horns flashed
”good... morning... Mars”
Mars gave her some pets on the head before she finally released him by getting up and jumping down from the bed and stretched while Mars raised his upper body and looked out the window
'looks like sunshine again today...'
Mars gave a yawn and swung his feet over the edge of the bed before he began to put on his clothes
”wait...”
Mars stopped and took his pants off again before he walked over to the shopping bags he had carried up to his room yesterday and began to dig through the contented before he found a new pair off light leather pants and put them on
”...yeah this is better than the old clothes”
Mars quickly dug out a new shirt and put it on before he stood for a few seconds and just enjoyed the feeling of new clothes and asked Victoria
”how do I look?”
Victoria looked at him for a few seconds before she walked around him a couple of times and sat down as he horns flashed
”...normal?”
”...yeah I figured”
He felt a little down but quickly recovered before he picking up his sword and started to walk down to the field where he sat down and started to meditate as he waited for the others to show up
'but that dream.... it sure was something...'
Mars thought back on the dream he had and felt like he started to remembered something but soon it disappeared like mist in sunlight
'oh well...'
Mars wasn't so put down after all the could just try with the next dream and soon he emptied his head of thoughts and started to meditate while Victoria climbed into his lap and settled down as she stated lightly purring while the morning sun shone on her black and orange red fur
”...Mars”
”hmm?”
Mars peaked up a little and suddenly detected Hanna was standing in front of him and opened his eyes to look at her
”what is it Hanna?”
Hanna wore her yellow hair in a ponytail and was clad in a tight fitting outfit that showed off her growing curves
”the others have something to do today so it's only us 2”
”really?”
Hanna gave a sigh
”yeah they are training the guards for the whole day today”
”I see... well then let's get started”
Mars gave Victoria a few pokes to get her to move but found she was strangely stubborn and lay still on his lap
”...what's wrong Victoria?”
Victoria raised her head and looked at Mars before her horns flashed
”you... smell bad”
”...”
Leaving Mars with those words Victoria jumped off his lap and ran off
”what's wrong Mars?”
”...it's nothing”
”okay?”
Hanna tilted her head to the side slightly as she looked at the strangely depressed Mars that walked over and took 2 wooden swords before he handed one off them to her
