Goddess' Guidance #2: World of Metal

Note:  Doing this mission with speech to text from my hospital room lol.


Spirit and Emerald were met with nothing but confusion and disarray meeting the goddess yet again. On one hand spirit had actually met a living breathing goddess of power and who knows what else, but at the same time she brought nothing but weirdness into his life. Spirit tried to speak with the goddess but she had caught him off guard and teleported him on top of a hill overlooking what appeared to be some sort of military base with strange structures and magical technology that didn't quite seem all that magical.

Spirit looked around and noticed that he was wearing some sort of strange angel outfit and that Emerald seemed to not be around.  Thinking that maybe she was kept away from this particular mission due to the fact it required stealth was probably a wise decision on the goddess's part when sending them here. Still, he didn't like the idea of the lack of communication. Looking over the base he was taken a bit back as to how he might attempt this.

Spirit had a knack for remaining calm and collective during moments of stress or even heightened emotions. Taking in a few deep breaths he would find a nice hiding spot on the hill behind some bushes overlooking the military base. Looking it over he would observe the guard's movements for a while. The base itself was pretty simplistic having what appeared to be a large tent with a couple guards set outside that had a banner and some sort of insignia on it. The front gate led directly to the tent where there were 6 buildings, 3 on each side, leading up to the central tent.

Spirit had never really seen machines before other than the occasional magical camera but this place was completely crawling with things he had never seen before and had no idea what they could possibly do. It took them a good couple hours to figure out what were the cameras and there seemed to be one guarding the entrance to the base and one on each building leading up to the central tent. Unfortunately he couldn't tell what was behind the base without leaving his position on the hill and even then the the walls surrounding the base had some sort of barbed mesh on top.

The one thing he did notice almost right away and confirmed over the next several hours was that none of the guards and the base used any sort of magic. This would give him an edge he thought to himself.

Planning out how he might take on the Military base, the words of the angel under the goddess started to flow through his memories. As he looked over the various parts of the base the words of what the cameras were, the guards, the watchman and even the giant robot. Apparently he could only go into so much detail about what was what because Spirit was not of this world, but if that was the case why have him been here in the 1st place? Still he was glad for what information he did have. Plus the idea of getting shot by guns, even non magical, sounded terrifying. Maybe that is why he was brought here from another world is he could resist bullets better than whoever lived here normally? The thought was interesting but not something he was willing to test.

Taking the time to consider all the factors he came to the conclusion that the cameras and even the robot might be running off of some sort of energy source. It was no different than street lights being run off of lacrama. If he could somehow find out what was running everything and turn it off or destroy it would allow him to sneak in during the confusion and steal the Intel he needed to.

Waiting for night thinking it would be best to sneak in he was caught off guard in seeing just the sheer number of lights that would pop up and start viewing certain areas with search lights. On the bright side it did offer more shadowy areas it's more shadowy areas and places for him to have a light source to see in to when not blinded.

Over the night Spirit would find various things buried on top of the hill. Taking the curiosities approach for once he would start to unravel and unbury you what appeared to be a large stage with a guitar that was hooked up to some sort of wire to some sort of giant box connected by a wire. He could only describe it as electronic devices  but the weird thing was, he didn't even know what an electronic device was. The thought just kind of came to his mind when he saw everything. Maybe it was the goddess giving him a little nudge, or maybe the world was having an effect on him.

More than magic spirit had been blessed with a beautiful voice and it's as it's as if his hand started moving before he even realized it. Straight streaming the guitar music started to play outside of the large box next to it.  Is the spotlights from the military base zoom in upon the hill when he started playing music ist Musiq and as if on Q he started singing into a microphone that he had dug up.

"Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence, caused such silence
Who are we mistaken?
But you see, it's not me
It's not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head they are crying..."

Before he knew it the military base had congregated beyou're gated below the base of the hill and we're listening in on him singing and playing music. Eventually when he was done they erupted in her roar of applause and whistles. Coming to relieve him so he could rest were several of the guards who began to sing their own song as a group although with a much more metal twist to it.

Finding this the perfect opportunity he would retreat down the base of the hill while everybody was busy watching the concert and sneaking in to the base.  Most of the cameras right now were pointed towards the concert and all the guards were missing but he still had that giant robot it robot blocking the central path from the gate to the commander's desk commander's dust to deal with. Taking a right at the gate he would go around behind the 3 buildings until he could she could see the commander's tent again. It was now or never he thought to himself.

Activating his lightning boots and his lightning gloves he would increase his speed as much as possible before is there zipping across the field to be behind the commander's tent. Pausing a moment he would wait to hear if the giant robot had heard or caught his movements but he was lucky enough to have the speed to not be seen. Using his lightning gloves he would extend a is the extended clawed finger and slice down the thick tent material and open up a doorway for himself to slip in through.

Cut up in the moment of everything it hadn't dawned on him that the commander might be at the tent but it appeared as if he wasn't here at the moment. With a sigh of relief he rifled through the desk and found what he was looking for. Taking it he would as fast as he could sprint out the back, over the wall and barbed wire, across the field and into the dark war torn fields...far far away from the base. Music from the concert becoming quieter and quieter.

Finding himself instantly back where he was before, at the entrance to the Guildhall, he stood there jewels in hand with an Eye Patch over his eye. The goddess seemed delighted in transporting him around, but whenever he did what she wanted he was tossed away, or so he felt. Finding a note he'd read it. The note congratulated him on a job well done but technically he was caught giving a concert. That said it seemed they were impressed with it and gave him a pass. At the end it simply said wear the eye patch when fighting robots and machines. It'll give you a heads up display.

Spirit didn't know what that meant but he put it on to try it out. Taking a step forward he was teleported again, in front of the goddess for yet another job!!!!
