Hvisland: A VR Colony Sim Game

The third day on the way to Acornhull, Leva yawned in the cockpit, seeming used to it.

"At first, I thought traveling with this thing would be fun, but it turned out to be so boring," Leva said in a lazy tone. "Even training with this thing makes me tired. My body movement is minimal because it doesn't move the weapon directly."

"Well, we'll be there in a minute." Eric chimed in, focusing on the screen showing the scenery outside.

Leva widened her eyes. "Liar, we're barely there on day three."

"No." Eric's tone turned cold. "Look at the view."

"Ah....."

The most giant screen in the cockpit was indeed showing a terrifying sight in the distance. The burnt remains of the large tent were strewn on the ground, side by side with the fallen mechs.

There was only one Mech in a kneeling position. Instead of using a giant sword, the dark blue Mech propped up on a lance. It's in worse condition than the Mech Eric is driving, with broken parts and hinges that appear to have shifted from their original locations.

"We'll be at your location, Trevor." Eric gave a notice. "About thirty seconds to go."

"Good luck with the fight," Trevor replied. "You focus on defeating the enemy first."

"Roger that." Eric's expression grew more serious.

The blue Mech stood up, then charged towards Eric's Mech with an unstable motion. From several parts of the metal object's body, sparks came out. Eric made his Mech raise the sword. However, before swinging it, he had to dodge a thrust from the blue Mech.

Eric's mech hand was hit by the thrust, sending the giant sword it was carrying away.

"Shit!" Eric made his mech retreat, and the opposing Mech dealt a barrage of attacks with the lance.

"Hey, if we keep dodging, we will lose!" Leva shouted.

"You think controlling this thing is easy? Avoiding our enemies is not easy. It's not like moving a body part yourself." Eric kept backing his Mech to keep dodging.

"But, this is also not a favorable situation," Leva explained as the Mech she was riding shook violently, probably from passing through rocks.

"So, you have a plan, Leva?" Eric was starting to sound annoyed. "Otherwise, don't disturb my concentration, please. I have to focus on dodging."

"Errr..." Leva narrowed her eyes at the opponent's Mech. "With my signal, make this mech duck while advancing, catch our opponent's body, lift it high, then slam it to the ground!"

"Are you sure that plan will work!?"

"If we don't do something, we will lose!"

Eric didn't answer and refocused on retreating his Mech while Leva continued to watch. As the opposing Mech slightly lost its balance due to the damage to its knee, Leva shouted. "Now!"

Eric's Mech braked, stepped forward with a crouch, hugged the opposing Mech, lifted it high, then slammed it down. Due to the momentum that occurred, Eric's Mech also slammed down, causing quite a violent shock.

"Well, I'd say that move isn't taught in training," Trevor commented.

Eric made his Mech hold the enemy's mech hand that was holding the lance. However, the opposing Mech punched the Mech's body that Eric and Leva were riding on.

"Shit! Is there no other way, Eric!?" Leva grumbled as the Mech she was occupying fell to the side, causing another big shock.

"We can only attack and attack!" Eric struggled to pilot his Mech. "And pray that we stay alive!"

The two mechs rose simultaneously. Then, the two of them both punched each other, forcing both of them to stumble backward. Fortunately, the anti-fall system of Eric's Mech still worked. Unlike the opponent, who fell backward.

"Now! Take the lance!" Leva gave the order.

Eric complied. He made his mech hand take the long and large weapon. However, instead of immediately thrusting it into the enemy's Mech, the man asked. "Errrr…. You sure the guy in here is dead, Trevor?"

"Now is not the time to ask such questions!" Leva sounded frustrated when she saw the opponent's Mech had started trying to stand up. "This is our golden opportunity!"

Hey, why are you being this stupid, Eric! Is it because of your father's influence!?

"My device is connected to that Mech! I found no sign of life in it!" Trevor was starting to sound panicked.

Eric ended up thrusting the lance, but the opposing Mech was able to catch it. Then, there was a tug of war to get the weapon.

"Why did you pull it!" Leva sounded increasingly irritated.

"What!? Why do you ask that!?" Eric remained focused on controlling his Mech. "Shouldn't we seize this weapon?"

"Just go ahead, dumbass!!! That fucking thing will be stabbed!!!"

"Ah…" Eric drove his Mech forward. However, the lance did not stab the enemy but could be diverted to the side by the blue Mech.

There was a collision, and the two mechs fell again.

"Look at what you just did!" Eric grumbled in annoyance.

"Let me finish all of this!" Leva grumbled back. "Hey, Trevor. Is there a way to get into the cockpit of our opponent's Mech!?"

"Are you crazy!?" Eric snapped, still trying to move his now-unresponsive Mech. Fortunately, the opposing Mech also seemed to have a hard time getting up.

"Err…. There was an emergency exit at the back of the Mech's body…. It's shaped like a door with a round handle." Trevor answered hesitantly. "That part looks broken, so maybe you can open it by shooting it with a firearm."

"If I'm already in the cockpit, what should I do?" Leva asked again.

"Well, you can destroy whatever's in it, I suppose?"

"Why do you provide information that can support her to go crazy, Trevor?" Eric slapped his forehead.

"Sorry." Trevor sounded nervous.

"Thanks, I've seen that part before and used it for fun!" Leva took the rifle that Eric had deliberately brought just in case, then put the weapon on her shoulder.

At first, I wanted to prevent the red-haired woman, but I thought this might be the best way. After all, Eric was still very inexperienced in controlling mechs. So, I ordered Eric to open the cockpit door instead.

"Thanks!" Leva jumped out without having time to hear what Eric said. The woman landed by rolling on the ground, then dashed towards the opposing Mech. When the Mech started moving again, Leva quickened her run, jumping and clinging to one of the metal parts.

At that moment, the Mech finally rose. One of Leva's hands that were holding onto the Mech came loose, making her nearly fall. However, with a face full of determination, she managed to hold on again with both hands, starting to climb to the top of the Mech.

Then, there was a loud crash. The enemy mech just punched the Mech that Eric was riding.

However, Leva remains focused on her mission. She continued climbing regardless of the crashing noises, desperately surviving the intense shaking.

And finally, Leva got to the Mech's back. One of Leva's hands was holding onto something, while the other held a gun at what looked like a steering wheel.

The first shot missed because of the shock that occurred. On the second try, Leva waited for a while.

It loosened up with one close shot, and Leva could spin it easily. The red-haired woman opened the emergency door and went inside. She immediately covered her nose with her hand.

I averted my eyes from what was in the Mech's steering seat. The pilot was motionless, still in full uniform, but his body was starting to rot.

This can haunt me in my nightmares.

"I'm sorry, maybe this thing means a lot to you," Leva spoke to the corpse while maintaining her balance. Then, she pointed her rifle at one of the screens there.

At first, Leva fired shots in all directions, but after the bullets ran out, she threw the firearm and took her large machete from her back. Screaming loudly, she swung her sword like a madman. Objects shattered, cables broke and fire splattered from all directions.

I moved outside and found the enemy's Mech starting to stagger, and its fist was missed. It tried to hit Eric's Mech again, but its hand drooped and stopped moving.

Leva jumped out of the burning cockpit, then ran, wagging the part of her clothes that was engulfed in flames.

"Eric!!!" Leva kept running until she came to the back to my colony Mech. The thing's emergency door was open, and Eric had started crawling out with his head covered in blood.

"Ah, took you long enough…." Eric laughed bitterly, then lost consciousness. His body fell from the emergency exit towards the ground, which was quite a distance away.

Fortunately, Leva managed to capture her fellow colony. The woman immediately put Eric to the ground.

"Eric? Wake up, Eric!" Leva shook her partner's body, but to no avail. "Eric, stay with me! Stay with me!"

"Excuse me, maybe I can help."

Hearing a voice from behind, Leva turned around, widened her eyes, and got up. The woman was ready to fight, even with her bare hands.. The weapon was left in the opponent's Mech.
