Lucien flanked by two Magi-Androids approached the HQ of Castle Marks INC on the world Teffilin and headed to the door and knocked on it. Tonight he was on a mission and would see it through to the completion. "I am here to hire about 50 of your finest bodyguards. " He said once he got inside. He would only have funds for so long however.
-
The clerk looked at him. "Show us proof of your identity, that you are not a felon, about to attempt a felony and are wealthy enough to make the transaction."
-
Lucien sighed, and the documents required materialized, including a bank balance which put him at about 10 billion credits in his bank accounts. Sadly the name change didn't come through until tomorrow as he didn't have a chance to have it legally changed on the galactic records. "Anything else?" he asked, also providing his credit card. "I want your best ones possible. Not 2nd, not 3rd. But the best. I want them to be heavily skillled. Also if they are not reliant on magic alone that would be a good thing."
-
A message came up in her screen.
<<<INTERPOL Watchlist alert>>>
-
She types in a request for the Zarethian Charges.
-
No charges would come up, and a message that he had been cleared by the council would come up.
-
<<<Was charged and pardoned by council under 'special' circumstances.>>>
-
"Sir, are you aware that you are under the Interpol Blacklisting even though you were pardoned by the Council?" The clerk asked.
-
<<<Please send request to MHalsey.>>>
-
"No I am not aware. Thank you for informing me.. Am I still allowed to hire bodyguards? Interpol is part of the reason I am hiring them actually since the charges have been formally dropped by both the Mechera, and the Zarethians and I have no desire to deal with Interpol agents on a regular basis. " And he did not want to accidentally kill anyone of their agents actually either.
"So if I may skip ahead to the selecting the bodyguards?"
-
"Please confirm that you are not and will not commit a felony during their hire."
-
"I will not, and am not. Unless you count a felony having them pound to a pulp any interpol paid mercenaries/assassins/people out to bring me to Interpol, without actually killing the people. " said Lucien and then he turned towards her, and took off his shades. His eyes looked a deep green.
"Now. Anything else or can we move on to the selecting the bodyguards so I can be on my way?"
-
"Thats fine. Please enter your specifications into our computer terminal." The woman said, pointing towards a computer on the other side of the room.
-
Specifications were typed in. The bodyguards were not to look dangerous, but were to be capable, extremely capable at holding their own with or without the magical arts, with or without weapons. Also each one was to dress in casual clothes, not formal garments and to have knowledge of poisons/bladed and gun style weapons.
"There. Typed in my specifications. "
-
"Press enter." She said, bored.
-
With that he added one last thing that they had to learn narrikian language, and pushed enter.
-
>> With Narrikian Language Requirements: Results found: 1. Results without: 250.<<
-
"Add 49 others. I'll give them a translator or something." said Lucien. "And I would like to meet this one."
-
"Request granted. Go down the hallway, turn left and she is in the first door to your right." The woman said with a quick glance at the person in question's profile.
-
With that he walked where he had been instructed. Now to meet this person and brief him or her about the job, and have them handle Interpol from now on along with the media hounds on the Narrikian worlds.
-
As he opened the door a woman, if you could call her that, opened the door. She was large a brutish, looking more like a Neanderthal than a human. She had pale skin, squinty eyes, a large nose and a unobrow. She looked down on Carl, standing over 8 ft tall. "Me Helga. Who you?"
-
"Lucien Dolos." With that he handed her a file. "Your job is basically to keep me safe from the Interpol agents, hit men and various assassins they send, along with members of the coalition, and of course the press as well. Further, you are not to kill the Interpol people, just badly wound them and make them regret attacking me. Of course if they are actively trying to kill you, you may kill them. "
The file had information on the weapons she would be issued by him. Such as a constructor system, a price powered armor and of course a variety of non lethals.
-
She looked at him dully., taking the file then putting it on the dresser.
-
"You are hired. Just stick to the shadows, try to remain below the radar as well. Your job is to blend in, guard me when needed and attack when needed against Interpol and their agents. " He tossed her a constructor system, and a price powered armor fitted to her size. "Put it on. You may need it."
-
She nodded and equipped the system. "I follow now?" She asked.
-
"Yes. And we still need 49 others. " With that he walked to the front desk, assuming she would follow and typed in a few other parameters this time, namely that the ones needed must be young, or at least appear to be young and not look dangerous but be capable of holding their own in a fight. They did not have to speak the Narrikian language, but they had to have a willingness to learn. Also they were to be skilled at doing blows that would cripple a person without killing them or able to restrain themselves from doing killing blows.
-
>> Results found: 48<<
-
"Very well. Bring them in. So that I can have my workers outfit them with the stuff they will need. " And then he looked at Helga at the moment in time. He turned his attention to her and said. "Well, you should go out to my limo and get it ready outside." He drew the symbol and a limosuine appeared outside at the moment in time. He looked over at the situation at the moment in time, and decided that he would recruit his own bodyguards. "So when should they arrive?"
-
Helga walked out and found the limo, the ground trembling with every step.
The others arrived slowly. They were a mismatched group, men, women, Zarethian, human, and other species.
-
Looking at them, Lucien walked over to them and looked at each one, examining their choice in outfits and weaponry so he would know which ones they possessed.
-
Most wore nondescript black T-shirts or white T-Shirts with black or white trousers. They were equipped with bore weaponry and pablo cannons.
-
With that he walked over to each one at the moment in time, and sighed. He then snapped his fingers and second skin v2s fitted to them, along with constructor systems, and a few other Narrikian weapons appeared near each one of them, along with non lethal gear as well. "Here." He said to them in Zarethian, and changed the limo with magic to something big enough to hold 50 people in it, but still be considered a rich person vehicle.
-
They looked at their weapons and gear and shrugged. Helga was leaning against the limo when it expanded. She didnt even blink.
-
"Now. We have jobs to get done. 2 of you will be accompanying me at all times." He looked at each one, trying to determine the ones that would blend in the easiet at the moment in time. Now he would have to make sure they got their equipment and what not. "Put on your gear if you would. I'll be back in 5 minutes. Hope you are ready then."
-
They shrugged and equipped their gear.
-
Lucien came back, and decided he would have to pick 2 of them. Now he would need to pick out which one would be his best choice at the moment in time. But which would suffice? He got the files on them and sat down and began to read so that he could make his decision about them.
-
They were lounging about, waiting for orders.
-
Lucien kept examining the files, translating the Zarethian with magic so that he could understand it easier than he would normally be able to. Information was power, and he would have the power over them.
-
The first one he saw was a Zarethian women who scored second highest in training exercises and was one of the most prominently purchased employees.
The second was a man who could shapeshift. Also prominently hired.
-
With that, Lucien called the woman over. "You will be guarding me, as will the guy." he chose out the one who could shape shift, and the Zarethian Woman. He handed them second skins and other items that they could use at the moment in time so they could be prepared. A constructor system was added, as was some other equipment. He said to the Zarethian Woman. "My name is Lucien. What is your name?"
-
"Alexia."She replied in a voice that cut like a steely whip.
"Yosek" The man said in a voice that was like listening to boulders drop onto one another.
-
"Alright. The rest of you go in the vehicle. Helga will take you to my property, you are to protect it. And by that I mean deny any interpol agents access." He said to the others, besides them. He opened a telepathic communication with Helga, and sent him the coordinates of his three properties and told her to divide up the bodyguards between properties, and that they had control of his home security force as well until he could get there. "Alexia and Yosek, will you come with me?" he walked outside, and summoned a smaller car. "Yosek, you drive. Alexia you sit beside me and shoot any trouble makers."
-
They all nodded and disbursed. Helga drove the other 46 poor sods to the location destination.
Alexia sat next to her employer while Yosek drove.
-
"So Alexia, how would you make Interpol leave me alone?" He asked her at the moment, trying to figure out how to get those idiots off of his backside.
-
"Shoot them." She replies shortly, looking out the window for anything suspicious.
-
"If I do that, they would have even more reason to harass me. And that is why shooting them is not a wise choice at the moment in time. Further harassment from those idiots is the last thing I need." He began to try and think up a plan, that should handle Interpol.
-
She shrugged.
-
"Infiltration won't work. Hmm. Sending them a bomb is illegal. One of them resides in False Heaven, so that won't work. It seems there isn't much I could do at the moment in time."
-
They both nodded, slightly bored.
-
He then said to them once they had reached the zarethian wallmart. "Alexia, you come in with me. Yosek, wait here and guard the car." he was about to walk into a walmart.
-
Alexia got out of the car, covering the area and sensing out with her magical abilities.
-
Lucien pushed a button on the back of the seat and the armory in the car opened up. He pulled out various weapons and holstered them, sheathed them and hid them in his pockets.. he even shrunk them and made them invisible to most forms of scanning and detection. Then he got out of the car at the moment in time.
-
Alexia waved the clear signal.
-
With that he walked into the store. He magicked up his shopping list. "Let's see here. We will need to get some Qi grain, some ammunition for the various weapons we have, some various outfits for you and Yosek, and a lot of other things as well."
-
"They dont sell military grade ammo at a ZarethaMart." Alexia pointed out.
-
"We will get most of the supplies except ammunition from here. I figure that way we can save time." He had weapons on himself, so that he would be protected in case he would be needed to fight for himself.
-
"Riiight..." Alexia said, walking beside him.
-
"Here." He tossed her a stun staff, sort of like a melee tazer. "We are going to get some stuff from the Zarethamart, and then I have to visit the council with you accompanying me, also we have a lot of things to do today."
-
"You're visiting the council... I'm going to go ahead and assume we have an appointment." She said, catching the staff and shrinking it.
-
"Yes we do..." He would later get one to get weapon and ammo permits for his 50 bodyguards. If Interpol wanted to screw around with him, he would have some protection at least.
-
"Right..." She says, carrying her stuff.
-
With that he walked towards the Zarethian version of the store where you would buy utilitarian outfits. he would obtain some clothing for himself.
-
She waited outside.
-
An hour later he came out with the garments in a shopping bag. "Now. What foods do you like?" He asked her, as he headed towards the grocery part of the store, gesturing for her to follow.
-
"Anything edible by Zarethians is fine." She says stoically.
-
"Alright." He took several rolls, wraps, and loaves of Qi bread, he also got the materials for Mi'Scap soup and some other things for himself at the moment in time. He also looks at her and says once he finishes gathering the food. "If you want, you can buy some clothes on my card."
-
"My clothes will suffice. My job is to protect you. Not shop." She said.
-
Nodding his head, Lucien asks. "Anywhere we can get a weapon license on this planet without meeting the council?" He had no desire to encounter Decadea or Halsey, or Akki at the moment in time.
-
"The Senate." She answers simply.
-
"Great. I'll have to deal with THAT idiot. And knowing his hate of Narrikian stuff and Narrikians well....I don't feel like dealing with Decadea. Sadly I can do nothing to remove him at the moment in time. So I will have to figure someone at the moment in time. " He looked at her for the moment in time, and considered what he could do at the moment to handle the problem. Decadea was a moron of the highest order.
-
She nodded without really listening.
-
"Guess we visit the council next." He said turning towards the exit, and walking carrying most of the grocieries outside, to the car, waiting a few seconds so she could follow him. This assignment was of the upmost importance to him at the moment in time as he had much to do today.
-
She followed him.
-
"Yosek, set a course for the council building. This time Alexia you sit up front. I have to change into my new garments for the time being so that I look well enough for this meeting. " Darker clothes could only be so useful, and lighter ones would be useful some of the time.
-
She nodded and got in beside Yosek. He gave her the knowing look of sympathy as the drove towards the council building.
-
Changing into the robes his father had made for him if he ever became a member of the EG, he prepared to walk into the council building when they arrived there. He was headed in, to make sure that he would succeed at this at the moment in time as he had things he needed to do. Such as for example getting a weapons license for himself. But in these new garments, there were no weapons. Or technology that could be used as a weapon. "Yosek, this time you accompany me."
-
They were stopped at a security checkpoint... "no weapons In the capital building." The guard said.
-
The soldiers deposited all weapons in the bin. It was common procedure.
-
Telepathically Lucien said to Yosek and Alexia at the moment. He had a plan at the moment in time. -Yosek, Alexia I have a plan at the moment. We may be without most of our weapons, but I do have a few things if we should need them at the moment in time. - He handed yosek and alexia each a ring, that was a constructor system. A non military grade version that would be undetectable as a weapon at the moment.
-
"And please place all jewelry in the bin as well..." the soldier said.
-
They proceeded at that request as well.
-
Wearing the habiliment and trappings that seemed proffessional at the moment in time, he had his own plans that would possibly work. The habiliment he wore at the moment in time, was devoid of any symbols of markings except the symbol of the dolos family that he had added to it. At the moment however all of his genius ideas would not work because the soldiers would think ahead at the moment in time. Why didn't he think of it earlier? He took out three belts, offering one to Yosek and Alexia. They contained a constructor system, and a forcefield generator with AAM varieties to it at the moment in time and was undetectable by any scanners as a weapon. Likely the soldiers wouldn't confiscate it, since the belts looked old and would seem to be harmless.
"Alright. You have all the weapons." He said over the intercom in his car.
-
"Sorry... belts too sir... after the belt bomber of 51' we don't allow it anymore."
-
They deposited the belts as well.
-
Extracting the gear that he had worn at the moment in time, the raiments that were his belt and other attachments in his garments. He sighed, frustrated now. His plan would not work at the moment in time and would cause him to fail at the moment in time. These soldiers were too smart at the moment in time, but once past the checkpoint well he did have spare things in the car that would be useful at the moment in time for him. Of course he had his own plans at the moment that could possibly work for him if the soldiers didn't wise up. His habit changed to that of a business suit that was too tight to conceal any weapons systems or anything else in. A second skin v2 to be exact was what his outfit had changed, but with the weapon systems stripped and ripped out of it.
So he would just have to bide his time and wait things out until he could succeed. Now all he had to do was play things safe until the soldiers left them alone and they could enter to get his weapons license. "What all is banned?" Lucien held out his fist and all the equipment put in the bin simply dissolved into goo. He would later re-equip them.
-
"Just about everything except for shirts underwear pants and shoes... and it will all be scanned."
-
The mercs complied with their demands.
-
Exiting the box wagon type car, Lucien slowly walked away from the double runner without any of his normal gear or any scythes, spears, or anything that could be possibly viewed as a weapon at the moment in time. He had put on the garments and clothe that would be completely normal in place of his second skin at the moment in time. The only option at the moment was to be completely helpless, but he had a way that he could survive even in AM fields. Pulling out a needle that had an AAM serum inside of it he ripped off part of his sleeve and injected it into himself. The Aam serum would protect him from Am fields, and the effects of them.
Using his magical energy he incinerated all of the nanobots, micromachines and all pieces of technology he had on his person, every invention that he had with him was destroyed so that he would not have any scientific advancements on his person. He had even deactivated the security measure if he was to die, as well. Now he had nothing left, no electronic devices whatsoever as he walked over to the guards and let them scan him.
"Go ahead and scan me."
-
They scan him... "and you don't happen to have anything with AAM properties do you?"
-
"No I have not." said Lucien as he purged the anti anti magic serum from his body so that he would be clear of it at the moment in time, rendering him helpless in an AM field. He did not know many martial arts, but he would have to count on Yosek for that at this point in time. And since the guy was a shapeshifter likely he could shapeshift into a more battle ready form if the need should arise.
-
The guard waves the two through.
-
"Yosek are you coming?" asked Lucien walking towards his base at the moment in time. He would have Yosek accompanying him this time around. "Oh and Alexia, take a weapon and keep them out of the car. "
-
Alexia did as order but winked at one of the guards.
Yosek followed him.
-
He smiled back.. they are led into a large room with people waiting and several large pictures of i,important figures... the council, Vaccon, and Decade a.
-
Yosek looks admiringly at Addler's portrait.
-
As he entered, Lucien felt a painful ripping sensation inside of him. The familiar form of an Am field had covered the entire building and had ripped the magic apart inside him, because at the moment in time his magic needed existence converted correctly, and the accursed AM field was interfering with that. He then turned his attention to the ones at the moment in time and so he looked at the people waiting for a moment. "You admire Addler?"
-
He nodded without looking at him. "Everybody should admire him. He has done a great many things."
-
"Well, I wonder when we will be allowed in to meet with the council." said Lucien, pondering why he had been forced to give up all his electronics and personal effects. He had destroyed all his personal effects as well at the moment in time, and likely he wouldn't be able to get any of those recreated. And he might lose the car.
-
'They are probably very busy." He said.
-
"Probably." Tapping his feet Lucien waited at the moment in time. He hoped this would work at the moment in time, because he was impatient. And confiscating all electronic devices left him bored, to an extreme degree.
-
A guard walked up to them. "The Council will see you now. Come with me."
-
Slowly Lucien walked in for the moment in time, so that he could handle things at the moment in time. He would walk in so that he could handle this mess. He was here to buy some licenses.
-
The council, having only six in today since others had business to attend to, was in the council room in the council building on the council building site.
"Yes?" One asked, bored.
-
Decadea sits in a chair next to a councilman
-
"Here to apply for some weapon licenses." said Lucien looking at each member of the council. He hoped Mazoc was here at least.
-
He was. Masoc sat right next to Decadea. "Ah, Carl. Good to see you." He said, nodding in greeting.
Teyn looked at Carl. "Mr. Dolos. Licenses? For what?"
-
"Weapons, and a drug that will convert my body into a weapon so Am fields won't totally cripple me if it came down to a fight that I needed to win. " said Lucien at the moment in time. If Interpol caused him problems, he would take the pill he had slaved over for a while now.
-
Decadea speaks up. "Wait what?"
-
"Your body is already a weapon, you need to train it, not to use magic pills. A councilor said dismissively.
Masoc looked at him. "Are you still afraid of Interpol, here?"
-
"Lower the AM around this place, and I will teleport the files on project meta..And you are correct I have a lot of magic at my disposal, but AM is a problem at the moment in time. AAM is not so easy to generate in the fields..." said Lucien as he looked around at the moment in time. "And no Mazoc, I just would rather not have to put the hurt on anyone they send, and I will also send you 'holograms' of the weapons I will wield."
-
"You should've came prepared... next order of business please?" Decadea says.
-
"Hold on, Decadea, let him tell us at least." Masoc says.
-
"Project meta was to take away my disadvantage to AM. most of the weapons were powered at the moment, but would be able to do some useful work thanks to the tweaks I made to the technology."
-
He leans over to the councilman "As the chairman of the Senatorial committee for civilian weapons rights, I strongly advice against it" he says in a hushed tone.
-
"Duly noted, Senator." Masoc says. "Tell us a little bit more detail on this project, Carl. What exactly does it do?"
-
"Well basically I have studied the genome of various genetic experiments, and tried to replicate the meta human abilities that some of them had at the moment. By combining that study with the notes I found on Project meta I was able to finish the project, and eliminate some of the side-affects. Once taken, this will effectively grant me super powers and a way to fight if Am is up. For spells require magic, and AM breaks down magic. " said Lucien at the moment in time as he looked at Decadea. "Your guards have gotten too strict by the way, I would have been able to bring in a sample of Project Meta, but they demanded everything, every personal item except my garments. " -and I destroyed all personal effects they confiscated-
-
He looks at him from their podiums... he writes something on A sheet of paper and passes it to the council members.
'This is a possible security risk' he wrote down.
-
"I dont think you are someone who can chastise others for overt security measures, Mr. Dolos. We have the files from CastleMark that you hired fifty mercenaries." Another said.
"Why go through so much trouble when you could simply build a pill that lets you utilize AAM?" Masoc asked.
-
Chastise others? He was pointing out at the moment in time however that they were too restrictive with such things at the moment. "I have tried that. But attempts to get the pill workable failed, so I settled for finishing Project Meta instead which may not be magic, but it is capable of quite a lot. If you license me for it, I'll even send a bottle of those pills to the council itself and you may analyze them."
"And the reason for AAM not being made is simple. Some races have anti fields that can completely disable magic and there are drugs that can be used to kill magical abilities, but there are no known counters to the project meta. So what will it take to get it legalized? Also the weapons I'll be wielding is a staff I have modified to gather in energy and release it as beams of energy, two powered sickles and a powered tachi for myself along with my armor, but I'd have to show you the armor in order for you to see what all it could do."
-
"In order to legalize any and all exotic weapons, armors or materials, we have to have a sample given to the council's personal technological experts." Said another, bored.
-
A bottle of the pills appeared in his hand and he put it near Masoc. All the pills he had made up until now, and those were only 7. He had no other pills like those, and would have to start over at making them if he gave those as samples but it would be well worth it at the moment in time to get those legalized. Looking over at Mazoc he said to him. "Inside are all the pills I have made as of this moment in time. And it took quite a while to develop just those seven pills."
-
Decadea eyes the narikian... "And we need to send them to our FDA"
-
"They'll be tested for their ability to create havoc. We will get back to you on them in six weeks, at the latest. Anything else?" Masoc said.
-
"Yes. " said Lucien. He teleported in pictures of each of his weapons. Two sickles, a short knife like blade, and a couple of tachi as well as a normal katana and a knight sword. All of them had been modified to be powered weapons.
-
"And what are these?" He asked.
-
"Pictures of powered weapons I have designed. Similar to yours, but made out of different materials. " said Lucien at the moment in time, prepared for what would be needed. "Now, just to wait 6 weeks. I'll be back in that period of time to see if it is legalized. It will take longer than that for me to make even one of the pills again. " It would take him a while to make any of the pills.
-
Masoc was going to remind him that he could have replicated the pills via magic but decided not to."We'll need an example of these as well."
-
"You already have them. Your conventional powered weapons. All I did was change the power cells in them to last much longer than your normal ones. " said Lucien at the moment in time. He had his own plans however, and would try to make the pills different for once they were legalized all manner of disruption/nullification tech could be made. So he would have to make something similar but out of magic for himself as well. Same concept, different ingredients.
-
"Again, we'll have to confirm that with our technicians. Its just a formality." Masoc assured him.
-
"Very well." With that he held out his palm a powered weapon with the power source of a solar crystal at the moment in time, because the power source of normal powered weapons was too weak to last very long and so he had adapted the technology of powered weapons for that at the moment in time. A sword with a slightly curved blade, but a straight handle appeared in front of Mazoc at the moment in time. The hilt however looked different from that of powered weapons, because it ran off of something different. Specifically it ran off of a sol crystal, one of his magical inventions at the moment in time.
"There. "
-
A guard picked it up from his hand and placed it carefully in a bin beside the door. "Is that all, Carl?" Masoc asked.
-
"Yes. Send me the results whenever possible." He walked off so that he would go wait at his rented apartment in the slums on Teffilin until things were done at the moment in time. He would have things to do. Pondering over this before he left, he said. "Oh, and it is Lucien now. Never did like the name Carl. So I changed it. Try not to develop an anti field to those pills, normal anti fields are bad enough. " As he said that he made his exit.
-
"Right... Lucien." Masoc said as he waved the guards to let him go.
-
Walking to the exit of the room he left the room and then walked over to where Yosek was. "We are leaving. All I have to do is wait for the permits at the moment in time. " Now he began his walk to the exit so that he could make his path to the limosuine. At the moment in time he would go to his limo and arm himself and work out a new pill for himself to take immediately come hell or high water.
-
Yosek nodded and bowed to the Council before leaving.
The samples were sent to the technicians and the ZFDA for approximation on danger.
-
Traipsing over to the location of his means of conveyance which was an armored van that had his portable lab inside of it, Lucien entered at the moment in time so that he could handle the situation at the moment in time. Once he had gotten inside of his cab he closed his eyes, and then put his hand on the scanner. It verified his identity, and a table rose from the floor of his car that had a few boxes on it at the moment in time. One of the boxes was filled with a set of pill molds, the other had a syringe and various vials at the moment in time. The vials were full of various colored liquids, and some of them were also full of herbs.
Now it was time for him to get to work and so he began to work on his invention once more while in his car with the windows rolled down. He gave the order to Alexia to drive, and make it snappy. They had to meet with someone to get the ingredient needed to make this pill complete. This one would be his first batch made for himself, and a herb that would strengthen his willpower would also be added to this as well just to be on the safe side for him.
Taking out the syringe, he filled it with the contents of the vial with the silver liquid inside of it, and then ground up some of the herbs into a paste, which he poured the contents of the other two vials into, and mixed together into a gel of sorts and then he added the final liquid, that in the needle. When his invention turned yellow, he then inserted the gel with magic into the pill and made several copies of it with magic. He discarded the waste of his experiment and then prepared the pill at the moment in time.
"It is done." He said softly, before he opened his mouth and materializing a drink of La'Con brew an acquired taste, the stuff tasted good to him, and would help him handle the bitter pill he was about to take at the moment. In one hand he held the drink, in the other he held the pill.
Putting the pill in his mouth, he then used the La'Con brew to wash it down, and smiled. He could already feel his body improving, and he began to gain access to some meta human abilities at the moment in time thanks to the pill. Of course this would be unique. It was after all the first time he had gained meta human abilities at the moment in time. His hand glowed for a moment. "Alexia, drive us."
-
She nodded as Yosek closed the side door. "Where are we going?" She asked, for directions.
-
"A hotel. Any will do at the moment in time. One of the better ones would be prefferred. " said Lucien as he made his scheme that would allow him to test his abilities in secret at the moment in time. Soon he would learn to use his meta human powers, whatever they were and the other abilities he had at the moment in time. Luckily this batch had one less side-affect, namely no volatile waste. All he has to do at the moment in time is use his strategy, and train with his meta human abilities at the moment in time.
-
She nods and drives towards Alekishin Hotel, one of the finer hotels in the city.
-
"Get me a room for a week. And sure to scrub the room of all surveillance devices and the like at the moment we get the room.. One with three bedrooms. And can I trust you both not to freak, if you see strange things happening to me or me doing strange things?" asked Lucien as they drove towards the hotel.
-
"No problem with that..." Alexia says to the affirmative as Yosek walks in and orders the rooms.
-
Raiments that he had bought from the Zarethians appeared replacing his normal clothes, all the pockets filled with shrunk down weapons, he even magicked up a new galaxy phone for himself among other things including all the electronics he would need. he patched a call through to Helga. "Send one of the body guards to get a construction tool that takes gravity and allows you to modify it. Deliver it to these coordinates." He gave the coordinates of the hotel he would be staying at on Teffilin. "And make sure there are no spying devices attached to it."
-
A random merc went out and bought one of the tools and brought it the coordinates.
Yosek came back. "The arrangements are made." He said, leaning on Alexia's door.
-
Entering the room slowly he sat up the device. "Alexia, Yosek prepare to catch me. I have some training to do at the moment in time that needs to be done." With that he held out his hand at the moment in time and concentrated. His meta-human power began to activate as blades of air cut through the training dummies that he had set up in the room. "Woah. Air based abilities? What else do I have?" He also had pharaoh-kinesis and other powers at the moment in time. There were some powers he had at the moment in time.
-
They looked at each other and exchanged a look that said 'oooooh boooy. just what we need' as they prepared to catch him.
-
Going over to the device he set it to 5x gravity. "If Lucas could do 50, I can do at least 5. " With that Lucien was nearly forced to the ground, but forced himself to get up at the moment in time. His body was already adapting to the gravity, and being able to resist stronger gravity type spells easier. He would need more training still, but was getting better. "And with that, let's see how well you do it at 5 x gravity." He said to Yosek.
-
Yosek looked at him coldly. "Not part of our contract." He said simply.
-
To kick it up a notch would definitely lessen the time spent in this circuit of his training and so Lucien after a whole night of being at level 1, 5 x gravity had adapted completely to that much gravity, his bones having healed with his magical energies to make sure he survived. Now was the time to try level 2, 10x gravity and keep on going. His goal would be to surpass his mentor Lucas who had ordered him to learn on his own so they weren?t seen together for some reason. Setting the device up to 6x gravity, to start out with on the next day he concentrated. The 6x gravity had little effect since he had mastered combat at 5 x gravity on the previous night, 6 x gravity was a piece of cake to him.
It was time to try one of the non-magical techniques that his mentor and his book had shared with him that of the powerful move known as the Kayo Cep, a technique that would allow him to channel the energy of his body into attacks, his biological energy and use his meta human power combined with that to make the part of his body harder or lighter depending on the given situation. "Kayo Cep!!!" Trying the move he managed to hold it only for about one second however before failing to perform the move again.
"Enough for now." He walked over and turned off the gravity producing construction tool and went to lay on the bed, checking the voice mail on his new galaxy phone for anything from the council, the FDA or those who legalize weapons.
-
Nothing arrived yet, it was going to be at least another six weeks.
The two mercs sat down at the table and started playing a gameof cards.
-
(6 weeks later)
Rising up off of the bed at the moment in time, Lucien walked over to the gravity controlling device and activated it to 7x the gravity at the moment in time so that he could continue the training that he would do at the moment in time. His book was very happy at the moment in time, because he was learning how to use more powers at the moment in time. Now he had choices that he could do, perhaps that would keep him safe. The gravity did not even bring him to the ground but brought him to his knees and he waited until he learned how to control his power at the moment in time. The new power that he had gained through use of that drug would make AM look like child?s play.
"Now it is time. They should have called by now...." He said, checking his phone again.
-
The phone had a texted message logged into it. >>Lucien Dolos: the items you have requested have been scanned and logged in to the Zarethian Government. Come to the Heart of the Council for the judgement<<
-
Arraying himself in the accoutrement of a successful politician, Lucien suited up at the moment in time so that he would go handle things like this. He had paid for the hotel for about a year at the moment in time, and put on the vestments that would look at the best Zarethians. So he reached down, to grab the equipment he needed at the moment in time. A scheme was forming in his brain so that he could form something at the moment in time that would work. Checking himself he left all weapons behind and ordered Yosek and Alexia. "You two stay here." He did a summoning spell that would bring Helga out to his car at the moment in time.
"You look like you could use the rest at the moment in time. So I am letting you both rest for the time being while I go meet with the council. " He walked downstairs without any of his normal gear, no weapons or AAM items on him and pulled out 2 of the golden colored pills and swallowed them both, washing them down with a Narrikian tea that was usually drank right before a funeral. He was still after all mourning the death of his parents, and would for a while longer. He slowly traipsed the path down to his car.
-
Helga was looking at him angrily - her default appearance.
Alexia and Yosek shrugged and went into Yosek's bedroom.
-
"You are going to drive us to the council." said Lucien, getting in the back seat of the car and activating his lab once more and making a liquid this time that would give him the powers of the pills for even longer than normal at the time. He drank the liquid mixed with his tea to make it taste better at the moment in time. Now all he would have to do was wait at the moment in time so that he would have his success. Once they got to the council building, he walked out and ordered Helga to remain behind as he entered the council chamber and walked up to where the council would be waiting at the moment in time. Taking the elevator up to their floor, he then walked towards the door and waited in a chair. He hoped one of them would let him come in.
"So when do I come in?"
-
"When they call you." The guard said. He heard something via the comms in his helmet. "Which would be now."
-
With that, Lucien walked in to see what the decision of the council would be at the moment in time. If he didn't like it, he could always appeal it at the moment in time. He was technically a foreign official, so he could appeal it. And he had presented his application to Ken to take over as diplomat.
-
"Ah, Lucien."Masoc nodded to him."The Zarethian FDA has deemed the meta-pills that you gave us far too dangerous for a normal civilian to use. If a Narrikian was able to get a hold of those pills he could wreak large amounts of havoc."
-
"Well, you see I am working my way to become the new diplomat from the Narrikian empire to this one, and am in charge of the Narrikian Police Force. Thanks to a few strings a friend of mine pulled that is. Now anyway, how could I get the pills legalized possibly since it is clear I am not a civilian now?" asked Lucien at the moment in time, as he had his own plans that could possibly work but he would need the pills legalized.
-
"Well,you see, they're just far too powerful. Even if you were the emperor of the Narrikians.... It would simply be iresponsible for us to legalize that pill. And if someone made a Zarethian variant..." He trailed off.
-
"I have made the pills. And they are locked to my DNA signature. In other words, no one but me can use the pills at the moment in time, one of the precautions I took when I made them. Since I did not want other people using the pills, I made it to where only I could use them. And as for Zarethian variant, that would be impossible without knowledge of zarethian DNA, and herbs that would work similarily on the Zarethians at the moment in time. And also they would need my knowledge of genetic engineering as well at the moment in time." said Lucien.
-
"And yet you dont seem to get it." Another councilor said. "We would have to trust the person with these pills inexplicably. You have not given us reason to."
-
Then he pulled out a list of all the ingrediants, in reverse order so they could make a counter serum or something to the pills and handed it to Mazoc. "Here, a way to make an antidote. It would cancel the pills if the wrong person got their hands on them at the moment in time. "
-
He took the paper but shook his head. "I'm sorry Lucien but these will have to stay illegal for now."
-
Enraged for a moment Lucien took a deep breath, remembering the powers that he had at the moment in time, but cursing in his head the fact they had made the pills illegal. His body could withstand more gravity than normal, but he would need to engineer protection against AM as well for himself. They had denied the pills which meant the new powered weapons were useless for him as well, since he would have relied on the enhanced speed and strength granted by the pills to use the powered weapons that he had designed at the moment in time.
Pondering over how he could get them to explicitly trust him he began to do a lot of thinking about things. Perhaps if he were to not use the pills period he could gain their trust enough to gain legalization of the pills at the moment in time for him-self. The pills needed to be legalized so that he could use them correctly at the moment in time. How could he get them to explicitly trust him at the moment in time though was the thing that he had to deal with at the moment in time.
Well he knew likely they would not allow his idea, the pills to be approved at the moment in time. Or any of his inventions probably at the way things were going. Only he could use the pills, but they didn?t trust that he would use the power responsibly? What could he do to prove he could use the pills responsibly at the moment in time? Perhaps build a weapon that neutralized the pills and permanently destroyed the ability to be affected by the pills? No, that would only prove to his disadvantage.
"If you are going to illegalize the pills then the same applies to the weapons. I made the two of them to be used together at the moment in time. The pills grant the enhanced abilities, and the weapons are more durable. Combine them, and well you get the idea of what one person with these would be capable of. "
With that he turned, and walked out of the room because he would not wait at the moment in time for them to make their decision about the weapon. He was headed outside, and while he walked out he purged the meta human abilities from his system, and all traces of the pills as well. It seemed as it was that he would have to give up. He had walked out of the council room angrily.
-
The council members looked at each other and shrugged. "Next!" Masoc called.
-
Decadea starts to laugh his ass off.
