Chapter 7 - Chapter 5 - Wife or Warrior ?

[ Unwelcome Interference Detected. Player will be eleminated. ] 

Hudson vanished into thin air , hiding from the system.

He was now invisible and fighting off Zombies for the other girls.

He used his super strength to blast a group of Zombies all at once.

" I can't believe Lure just left the game and now it wants to be on easy mode." Solara said and Venus flew above her.

" Why does that power look so familiar ?" Venus said sarcastically then she walked towards the power source and ran her hand by it.

She moved her hand until she felt a person.

" Venus I can explain." Hudson's voice said and Venus furrowed her eyebrows at him.

" Hudson why on Earth would you come over here ? Sabotaging Eros again ?" Venus said then she sighed. 

Zombies came up behind her and she took them out without even looking at them.

"Enmei - " He started but Venus interrupted him.

"Her AGAIN ? Hudson are you in love with your best friend ?" 

"No there are other things in life than love you know. Other feelings. Other reasons for doing things."

" Like ?"

"Hatred ."

" I don't believe you came all the way out here because you hate her. Make up a different story." Venus said then she turned around just in time to slice the zombies that were behind her to bits.

" I didn't know you were this good at multi tasking." Hudson said, laughing nervously.

" Hudson, do you even have an excuse to why you're out here now ?" Venus asked , holding her large sword upwards so the bottom touched the ground.

" I was cheating , ok ? I wanted to make sure Enmei would lose the game and come back to me."

[ Game detects a GREAT GIRL ] 

" Well cheat harder ! she's completely wrecking the battlefield."

"Wait. Y- you don't care ?" Hudson asked in disbelief.

" Let's just say my Master might have captured more of my heart that he should have."

" You also like Eros ?" 

"I am a woman aren't I ?" Venus asked then she did a spin kick clearing her path of Zombies.

Hudson smiled at her.

"Go get your girl, Hudson." Venus said and he nodded.

" If Enmei loses I'll finally have her all to myself." He whispered the sentence as if were a wish.

Then he spent several hours enhancing other girl's blows and making them look stronger.

He was almost successful until Enmei saw his power.

"Eros ?" She asked thinking that it was the Alien Cupid instead she shrunk down to her normal size and looked in his direction.

"Why is he helping players ? Wait ...that's why the game hasn't leveled me up yet ?"

She ran towards him.

" Eros, why are you here ?" She asked but Hudson replied by becoming visible.

"Hudson ?" Enmei asked shocked." Are you trying to save us from the game ?"

" I'm trying to save you."

" Hudson , I don't wanna be saved." Enmei said , backing away.

" You don't understand Eros is only going to drain you. He's no where near ready for wife." 

" And I dont want a husband !" Enmei shouted at her friend.

" As your best friend I think you should quit the game." Hudson said and Enmei glared at him.

" How could you say that ? Do you know how much leading as a woman means to me ? So that's why you were helping the other girls ? You don't think I should win ?" Enmei asked and her eyes got teary.

"That's not it."

" If you think I'm not worthy of Eros FIGHT ME YOURSELF ! " Enmei grabbed Hudson suddenly and threw him across the battlefield.

Apparently even in her human form she still had some of her beastly strength.

He just layed there on the floor looking hurt and shocked.

she screamed at him.

" I deserve to win !" She shouted and she took her pill and charged at Hudson.

" You shouldn't want this, Enmei ....it's Eros we're talking about .You HATE him !"

"But I want power and with his I can finally have a woman lead world. I wont be like the other girls. " Enmei shouted . 

She ripped off a part of the wall and used it as a bat to hit the zombies.

"I WANT TO BE A WARRIOR , NOT HIS WIFE. I WONT BECOME A SLAVE IN A WEDDING DRESS !" She shouted and Hudson struggled to his feet.

She was about to hit him with the pole when an invisible entity took it right out of her hand.

She stared at Hudson, realizing that she had lost control.

"Sorry for almost smashing you with a pole, but I'm not going to give up my chance to rule." Enmei said and Kaito appeared right between them.

" That certainly sounds like something I would say." He held a black pole in his hand and Hudson scowled.

"She's not leaving man. I always thought of things in scientific terms and Things that are alike always tend to repel each other. I knew we were too much alike to work , but I always wanted to put my best friend over Science." Hudson muttered, letting himself fall back to the ground.

" Love and friendships aren't about Science and if you keep seeing it that way you'll never find love." Kaito warned him.

" Love ? Wait, Hudson. Do you think you're in love with me ? " Enmei asked and he didn't look her in the eye.

"I'm not sure.I just know that I want you to be around me all the time." Hudson said and Enmei didn't know how to handle it.

" You're a Hero, Hudson."

" Heroes fall in love." He said defensively.

" Yes, but they don't put their love above the world."

" The world needs a woman and if I am that woman a Hero would let the world have me."

" The world and the man I HATE." Hudson spat angrily then he folded his arms and bowed his head.

" Love and war are both unfair." He whispered.

Kaito stood beside them attacking every Zombie that approached and Hudson just sat on the ground with his blonde hair hiding the sadness in his face.

[ Unauthorized Interference Detected ! Game will delete all unwelcomed players ]

" Delete ? " Kaito asked in fear then he vanished leaving the pole standing by itself then he reappeared , grabbed it then vanished with it.

" Hudson , I want you to know tha-" Enmei started but Hudson interrupted her.

" Fight for what you want." The green -eyed boy said finally lifting his head to reveal the look of sorrow on his face and then he vanished as well.

Enmei shrunk to her normal size and just stood there staring at the spot where he was before.

Suddenly she didn't feel like fighting at all and all she wanted to do was be a normal College kid again , but maybe it was too late.

[ Solara , you will advance to the next level ! ]

Enmei looked around and saw Solara soaring through the air and using light rays to slice Zombies and the scene reminded her that "normal" was long gone and she was no longer some College Kid. She was a woman.

She was Player number 3 and she had to be strong because the world might need her.
