replied.
“We could use the radios to listen in on Kraken and
see if they mention any technology or labs where they store it,” I said.
“Oh that reminds me. I calibrated the radios so that
we can communicate with each other without them hearing us,” said Jet. She
handed me one of the radios. It was small and gray. There was a red button on
the outside that activated the speech function. I slipped it into my ear and
heard chatter coming through. It was mainly coded transmissions about daily
operations. I listened for a few minutes before removing it. I turned my
attention back to the amplifiers. She had attached a sort of pad inside the
amplifiers to keep the metal on the gauntlets from rubbing away at the skin of
the wearer. I slipped them on and felt the sensors on the inside touching my
skin. The sensors picked up the cellular makeup of the user and was able to
identify the gene spike. It enhanced the power by stimulating the cells and
somehow affecting the spike. It was very advanced and I had no advanced
knowledge of the process.
“What are you doing with those?” asked Jet?
“I was going to go test them,” I replied.
“You can’t. I don’t know if they are ready to use
yet,” she said.
“There is no better time. If they don’t work, we need
to keep working or find another weapon to use against Kraken. Besides I trust
you and your knowledge,” I said. She blushed and stammered as she tried to
think of a way to stop me. Before she could, I walked into one of the empty
chambers. She followed closely behind me. I turned and faced one of the walls.
I held my arm out towards it and started focusing my power. A strange feeling
coursed through my arm. It felt almost as if electricity was flowing through my
body. I focused and felt the release of power through my palm. It shot into the
wall and a cloud of dust exploded out of it. Jet coughed as the room filled
with dust. When it finally cleared, a tunnel three feet in diameter and
perfectly smooth inside sat about two feet off the ground. It had worked. I was
able to focus and enhance my power. Jet stood speechless staring at the hole in
the wall. I stared at the silver pieces on my arms and felt a small bit of hope
rising in me. We finally had an advantage against Kraken. I wanted to test them
further outside where I didn’t run the risk of destroying Sanctum.
“Let’s go outside and test these further,” I said.
“Maybe we should hold off and let me run some
diagnostics on them,” she replied.
“They work fine. Relax,” I said. I started off down
the tunnel and made my way outside. The sun was shining bright and beating down
on the terrain. I stood for a moment and let the warmth wash over me. Being
inside Sanctum was hard sometimes because it was so dark and cold. I stretched
my body out and loosened my muscles as best as I could. I clinched my fists as
they hung down at my side and focused on channeling my power. I slowly
increased the power release and began to hover. The gravity fluctuation was
pushing me off the ground into the air. I felt a power unlike any I had before.
I increased the power and flew a foot higher.
Jet looked up and said, “Be careful.”
“I am. I want to see what I can do though,” I said. I
forced more power out and shot off at a diagonal angle over the forest. I
tested increasing and decreasing my speed as I flew. The sensation of flying was
amazing. I came to a stop in the air and noticed a pillar of black smoke coming
from the center of the forest.
“I wonder if that is Bosque City,” I thought to
myself. I increased speed and flew towards it. I descended into the canopy and
perched on a branch. I saw Kraken agents raiding the city and burning the
houses and trees. Some of the agents were rounding the citizens up on the
ground and gathering them into a group. Suddenly, Pan was led out by a man with
body armor on. I recognized him as one of Hades’ top men. His name was Jekyll.
