The Hybreds, Episode 2 - Terror Revisited
Deep underground, machinery inside a lab are at work reviving a clone. Half an hour later, Giovanni opened his eye's and laughed. He got up and examined himself in a full length mirror. He was perfect. The machinery programmed into his memory current objectives and the last two hours of his life, courtesy of a nuero-link transmitter implanted in the original Giovanni. He knew who killed him the first time. He wanted to revenge. Then the computer started going crazy.
"Alert," said the feminine voice, "Genetic corruption detected."
"What!" said Giovanni. "Explain." he ordered the computer.
"Corruption to genetic material occurred during cloning process. Clone will self-destruct in thirty days." Giovanni did not like the sound of that.
"Is there any way to stop it?"
"Corruption can be repaired with another intact genetic sample. Alert: original genetic sample of Giovanni contaminated. Original sample inadequate for procedure."
"Do we have any other genetic samples?"
"One genetic sample found. Donor, Mewtwo pokemon."
"Can you use it to repair the corruption?"
"Affirmative."
"Do it."
"Affirmative. Reviving Nanomachine culture. Programming Nanomachine culture. Preparing pneumatic injector. Injector ready." at that a panel opened at the lab computer console where a pneumatic injector gun filled with nanomachines waited for him. Giovanni removed the injector gun, put it to his arm, and before he could change his mind, he pulled the trigger.
One month later
Giovanni marveled at himself in the mirror. He was no longer human now. He was the latest Mewtwo Hybred to grace the planet. But he knew that this would not be enough. He needed something more. Something that would make him more powerful than all the Hybreds in the world. Then he remembered a memo he read before he was killed. It had said that they could adapt the nanomachines to make a person into a cyborg. The cyborg would be nearly indestructible because the nanomachines would stay behind in the blood stream to repair any damage.
He summoned one of the scientists who had returned and requested that him and the others begin working on the new nanomachines. When told this it would take several years to design, test and build these new Nanomachines, Giovanni was calm.
"Don't worry," he said. "Take as much time as you need. I want to be perfect and perfection takes patience."
Five years, eleven months later.
"Okay, son," said Aaron, the wind whipping his ponytail. "I'm not going to let go until you say you're ready."
"Okay," said Ben, still nervous after what must have been the fiftieth time. "Okay," he said now beginning to relax. "Let me go." Aaron went ahead and let Ben go. Ben was Aaron and Tanya's first child, named after Aaron's father. "Hey, I'm doing it, Dad! Hey, Dad I'm doing it! I'm flying!" Aaron could only watch in fatherly pride as his son began to get the feel for real solo flight. It wasn't long until Ben started doing acrobatics under his father's watchful eye. Ben was looping, rolling, diving, and soaring.
"How's Benjamin doing, Aaron," said Tanya through their bond.
"He's a fast learner like his Dad," said Aaron, "thirty minutes ago he couldn't even glide, now he's turning into a regular acrobat. I think he is a natural."
"Silly American Boy," chided Tanya. "Of course he's a natural. He's a Lugia like you and I." Aaron let his grin be felt by his wife. The past six years had been truly good ones. With the One Nation Earth Government back in power, things were looking up for the world. And they only got better, Aaron already had two daughters as well as his son, Ben, and another egg to hatch. The doctors think it's another boy. The sky over Neo Austin became filled with laughter as Aaron enjoyed a session of acrobatics with his son.
This was a new age that was becoming known as the Genises Age. Giovanni had ruined many cities as he turned them into dormatories and factories. Now over the last six years, many cities have been rebuilt, most of them receiving new names in the process. Scientists enslaved by Giovanni now began to work for the ONE Government full time, coming up with ideas that would make lives easier. Teachers became highly paid by the ONE Government, realizing the potential of the youth of the world. It has been a time of rebirth, reinvention, innovation, and reveloution.
"Okay, boys," said Tanya, "as much as I hate to spoil a good time, I have to ask that you come down for dinner."
"Okay Ben," said Aaron, "it's almost time for dinner. Let's go home."
"Oh Mamma, you should have seen me, I was looping, I was soaring, I was doing all these neato stunts. It was so easy and it was so much fun. Ooooh! Daddy, Daddy! When can we go again? Can we fly to Nuevo San Antonio? Can we, can we, pleeeeese?"
Aaron's face was nearly split in two by his smile. "Settle down, son!" said Aaron. "Your wing muscles just had a very tough workout today. Your gonna be feeling it tomorrow, trust me."
"Awe, c'mon Dad."
"Papa's right, Ben," said Tanya. "Besides, I wanted to go to the River Walk in Nuevo San Antonio this weekend."
"You did?" asked Aaron. Tanya shot him a look that didn't require any telepathy to interpret. "Oh, that's right," said Aaron fumbling, Tanya grinned, "this weekend. Now, Ben, you go up to bed, tomorrow we're gonna work some more on your martial arts, after I give those wing muscles of your's a thorough rub down in the morning."
"Go on," said Tanya. "Your sisters are already in bed." Then the front door of their home exploded, chunks and splinters went flying. Instinctively, Tanya and Aaron shield themselves and Benjamin with their psy-ability. Aaron raised his head. Stepping through the smoke and shadow and the remains of the door came a bizarre looking Hybred. It was definitely a Mewtwo, and it was wearing some kind of armor. But it hugged the skin way too tightly to be armor, in fact it made him look more robotic. Then it came to him. A cyborg. But who? Then the Cyber-Hybred laughed. It was an evil type of laughter that sent a chill down Aaron's spine.
"Giovanni?" said Aaron. "But you're dead!"
"Oh, you killed me alright," said Giovanni. "But I have a way of coming BACK!" At that Giovanni unleashed a powerful psychic attack. Aaron and Tanya shielded them selves and Benjamin once more, but it was too much. Tanya fainted and Aaron nearly passed out too.
"Daddy!" cried Benjamin. Giovanni took immediate notice.
"Ahhh, this was too easy, Aaron," he said. Barley conscious, Aaron could hear him, but for the life of him he didn't even have enough strength to use the Link to call upon the other Lugia Hybreds. "I see you have a son." He bent down and picked up little Benjamin by his T-shirt.
"Hey! Put me down!" As he was lifted into the air, Benjamin kicked, swung, screamed, and used attacks like whirlwind and scratch. But it was, of course, to no avail.
"I'm going to take him," said Giovanni. "If you ever want to see him alive again, you will follow the directions I will give you when your feeling better." He left, that wicked laughter trailing behind him. Aaron could only watch, but then the darkness he had been fighting off closed in around his eyes and forced him to sleep.
Aaron tentatively opened his eyes and slammed them shut again from the brain burning bright light. He groaned, then tried moving and was rewarded with more pain on the brainpan.
"Take it easy," said a woman's voice. "You and your wife both have second degree backlash." Backlash was not fun. It happens when a psychic is trying to shield him/ herself and fails. It's just like having a severe migraine that just won't go away.
"He took him," said Aaron.
"Who took who?" asked the woman.
"Giovanni's back," said Aaron. "He took my son, Benjamin."
"But I thought you and your kind killed him."
"So did I," mumbled Aaron, slipping back into sleep, "so did I."
The next time Aaron awoke he felt much better. He could now use his psy-abilities and the Link without much effort. Tanya, though still sleeping, was alright. But she was suffering from a nightmare. He got up and saw that she was there in the bed next to him. Gently, he caressed her face, sending soothing thoughts to her to ease her dreams. He could feel the presence of his daughters not too far away, as well as the egg, but he couldn't find Benjamin.
"Welcome back to the world of the living," said the woman. Aaron felt her presence behind him. Telling from the feel of her aura, she was a grass-psychic type Hybred. He turned around and saw that she was a Maximur Hybred. She was rather lovely, young, with her bold, black face, blue and white body hair and the long black and white ring tail that was the norm of her kind. She had blue eyes and a head of chest length brown hair with a couple of locks of her bangs braided. She wore a simple dress; a blouse and long flowing skirt, beige with little flowers patterned on it.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Kataryna L. Sunstar Maximur. I'm a healer. You've been here in my tree house ever since last night."
"My daughters and egg?"
"Your daughters are playing with my cousins downstairs. Your egg is in an incubator. It is safe and won't hatch for a while. You were brought here to me by the World Police. Tell me what happened to you and your family." And so Aaron told her about what had happened. Another person might have thought that he had lost his mind, but Kataryna was a psychic type and knew he spoke the truth.
"We must call the World Police," said Kataryna.
"No, don't," said Aaron. "Giovanni would know, he's become incredibly powerful. I doubt that even with the help of all my fellow Lugia that we'd be able to stop him, let alone save my son."
"You have a point there," said Kataryna. "But they still want to know about what happened that night."
Aaron thought about it for a minute. "Giovanni's main goal right now is revenge. But in the long run he wants to control the world the way he used to. The ONE Government needs to know about his Cyber-Hybred clone. I will go ahead and make a report, but request no assistance."
"Are you sure that's wise?" asked Kataryna.
"Yes, I know Giovanni. If he gets wind that the authorities are on to him then I will surely never see my son alive again."
"I see then. And you say that he's going to contact you?"
"That's right. I think he wants to fight me alone. Given how powerful he is, I think he's just gonna play with me like a Meowth plays with a mouse, then finish me off."
"I don't like the sound of that."
"Neither do I."
Later in the day, Aaron heard from Giovanni by telepathy. He was to face him at the remains of his old base, right were Aaron killed him the first time. Aaron left silently, not wanting to let anyone know he was leaving. Doing otherwise surely meant that he would be followed which could lead to the death of his son. He didn't levitate or teleport, because that could be detected by most psychic Hybreds, especially his wife. Instead he flew for ten miles, and only then did he teleport the rest of the way.
Giovanni stood there in the middle of the airfield of the ruined base. Benjamin was nowhere in sight, but Aaron could feel him.
"Where's my son?" said Aaron.
"All that matters is that he's alive right now, doesn't it?"
"I want to see him."
"No, not yet."
"Then I will kill you." The instant the words left Aaron's mouth Giovanni unleashed a psychic energy attack. Aaron was prepared this time and dodged it. More followed and Aaron kept dodging, all the while getting ready for the strongest Aeroblast he had ever delivered. Giovanni paused for half a second, it was all Aaron needed.
The massive energy hit Giovanni dead on target, he didn't even dodge it. Aaron wondered if Giovanni was dead again because of his overconfidence. The blast ended, nearly all of Aaron's energy expended on that one attack. The air in front of him was dense with smoke and dust.
Then there was that laugh. "Please don't tell me that that's all you have!" said Giovanni laughing again. He stepped out of the smoke and dust, stepping towards Aaron. "Because if it is, then I won't get to spend as much time killing you as I would like." Aaron hadn't moved one bit. He couldn't do an attack to butter his bread and there was no use in running, he would never give him that pleasure. He just stood there, giving Giovanni his most venomous glare.
Giovanni's hand snapped out and grabbed Aaron's long neck and lifted him off the ground. "And now, Aaron," said Giovanni, "it's your turn to die. I hope you'll enjoy oblivion like your mother and father." Just as Giovanni was about to crush Aaron's throat, the ground began to tremble. Then they both sensed a massive power underground and getting closer.
"What is this?" muttered Giovanni. Then several yards away the ground exploded as if a bomb landed there. But it was no bomb, it was an Aeroblast from underground. And following that Aeroblast was Benjamin.
"LEAVE MY FATHER ALONE!!!" he screamed with another Aeroblast, this time it was tightly focused and it severed the arm Giovanni was using to hold Aaron up. Giovanni cried out in pain and agony and Aaron fell to the ground. Ben didn't waste any time, he scooped his father up and teleport back home.
Aaron was sleeping off the days earlier business. Meanwhile, Tanya and the girls were marveling at what happened to Ben. Apparently, Giovanni's scientists were just itching for a subject to test their new breed of nanomachines on. Similar to Giovanni's nanomachines, these nanomachines did not build cybernetics in the body, but optimized and maintained the host body. Also they had learning capabilities so they can learn from mistakes made and make improvements. Benjamin looked a little different now. His baby-fat was all gone and his muscle tone was radical for a person his age. Benjamin had become a fighting machine.
"Giovanni's gonna regret that he ever let his scientists toy around with me," said Benjamin.
"Oye-vey!" said Tanya, tending to her egg. "Will you ever be my sweet little boy again?"
"Oh, mamma. I'll always love you and father. It's just that I'm changed now. There's nothing I can do about it so I might as well accept it."
"But why so much fire, Benjamin?" asked Kataryna. "Your rage alone is not going to defeat Giovanni."
Benjamin looked at her with his father's glare. "Will it?" he said. Suddenly his Aura flared up, becoming so intense that it was visible to the untrained eye. It enveloped Ben like blue flame, the air currents stirred around it causing papers to drift and and Kataryna exchanged worried glances. Benjamin had his father's fire in him. Would he be able to control it, though?
"How could you let him escape!" roared Giovanni. "He was supposed to be sedated!"
"It was the nanomachines, Giovanni," said a frightened scientist. "They must have purged his system clean of the sedative. But at least we know that these Nanomachines work."
Giovanni was about to psybeam the scientist, when he paused to think of what the scientist said. "Yes," said Giovanni. "You are right. This proves to us the capability of the new nanomachines. Continue your work. If you can make that little brat that powerful, then imagine what you can do for me."
Aaron awoke, looking into the expectant gaze of Tanya. She smiled, seeing Aaron awake again.
"Silly American boy," she chided. "When will you learn?"
Aaron grinned. "I don't know. Probably never."
"I love you, you know. But sometimes you make me wonder why."
"How's Ben doing? What happened to him?"
"I'm not sure. Giovanni let his scientists run an experiment on him. Now he's as strong as Giovanni. Aaron, I'm worried. He has anger in him because of he tried to kill you. He knows about how he killed your mother and father."
Aaron thought about it for a moment. Benjamin had taken after Aaron in not only looks, but personality as well. He was almost an exact carbon copy of Aaron. "I'm not worried," Aaron finally said.
"What? Why not?"
"He said that he loved us, I can feel it in your mind."
Tanya sighed. "Yes, he did, but-"
"But as long as he has love in his heart, we need not worry too much. His anger will fade. Don't worry about it."
Kataryna then arrived in the room, carrying a tray with some soup. "Glad your up," she said. "As soon as your well enough we need to leave. After the stunt Ben pulled Giovanni's going to be like a raging Tauros."
"Agreed," said Aaron. "We'll need to leave soon. But I'm still too weak."
"No matter," said Tanya. "I'm strong enough to teleport myself and the girls. Ben can obviously take care of you, Aaron. Kataryna, can you teleport?"
"Yes, I can."
"Good," said Tanya. "Aaron, hurry up with that soup. Kataryna, it smells divine. Any chance that I can get the recipe?"
They arrived at the old American Resistance base which had been closed and sealed after Giovanni was killed the first time. They began by getting the old base power plant running again. Some of their old friends had heard about their trouble and had started returning. First to arrive was Henry, Liz and their (whoah) seven children. Aaron was surprised, but knowing how much they loved children, he quickly got over it. Megan arrived also, with her own husband and two children. Soon enough a playroom was set up and adults kept on watch incase a fight broke out. With two Articunos, two Makimurs (Kataryna's cousins), three Lugias, and six Mewthrees (the seventh one was only an infant), all children, a fight would be most unpleasant.
It wasn't too long until Aaron was up and about. He decided to take a watch in the playroom, just to see how well they all get along. The playroom was actually one of the underground hangars. It seemed sensible since some of the children could fly, one way or another. Right now the ones who could were playing tag.
Benjamin, rather than play, was being a referee. He was suddenly too strong to play these games with the other children, but Aaron could feel that he enjoying himself none the less. His daughters, Anna and Ariel, had organized a game of hide and go seek for the children who couldn't fly. It reminded him of his own child hood during the resistance. There were enough children around at the time for him to have friends. Even though things would become scary, he would always have his friends to confide in. Now this generation was learning what it was like for their parents.
It was a sad turn of events. Aaron wondered if it would ever end, whether or not Giovanni's evils could be stopped. It was questionable whether or not Benjamin could have a normal childhood, now that he had unwillingly undergon a radical change. Benjamin then came down to see his dad.
"Hey Dad."
"Hey Ben. How are you doing?"
"I feel great, but there's something I need to talk to you about, in private."
"Alright then." Aaron walked around with Ben to a secluded spot in the hangar. "Okay, Ben,"said Aaron in telepathy, "what's wrong?"
"It's these new Nanomachines. They're talking to me."
"What! How?"
"They say that they have built a link to my brain that they can use to talk to me and see if I want them to do anything."
Aaron became worried very fast. "Things like what?"
"Well, first let me explain. They are very smart. They have been teaching me a lot like how to best use my body in combat, how to find an oponent's weak points, and other stuff like that. They know that Giovanni's a Mewtwo Hybred Cyborg and that he's very powerful. They want my permission to build cybernetics into my body to give me an even better edge over him in combat."
Aaron thought for a second. "Can you ask them what their directives are?"
"One moment," said Ben. "They only have one directive, to make the host into the ultimate soldier."
"Ben, you tell them that the ultimate soldier takes care of his or her friends, family, and allies. The ultimate soldier will get to have a family of his or her own and defend them with his or her life."
"They heard you. They are adding it into their directives. They still want to have my permission for the cybernetics. They say that they can retain my outward appearence, that it would all be internal."
Aaron sighed. "Benjamin, I love you. I don't know what I would if anything bad happened to you. I wanted you to have a normal childhood, but that seems far from possible now. Now you are being presented another choice, to make yourself even more powerful and more isolated from other children by that, or to stay where you are at now and keep what you have. Remember, it is your body, and your mother and I will always love you and care for you."
"Thanks Dad. I love you guys too."
"I know, Ben. Now, go see if you can have some fun without any accidents."
"DAaad! You know I'll be careful."
Ben was walking alone in the corridoors of the base alone. He was seriously thinking about the offer the Nanomachines had presented. On the one hand he could have the power to stop Giovanni, once and for all. But on the other hand he had his entire child hood infront of him. He had already matured mentally a great deal. He was only five and he was already thinking like he was twelve. He was glad that his Father had said that it would be his choice, but in a way he wasn't. This was a very tough decision for him. He knew Giovanni was incredibly powerful, and he would need every bit he could get. But what about friends? Wouldn't all of his friends be afraid of him when they saw how powerful he was? If he went through with this it would be easy to accidently hurt his friends if he couldn't control his power.
"That will not be a problem." said the representative Nanomachine.
"Huh?" said Aaron.
"Controlling your power. We can include a safety switch that can restrict your power level when you want it to."
"You can do that?"
"Of course we can. Us Nanomachines are an inteligent thinking type, unlike our dumb predecesors. We have been doing further research because we encountered memories of your Father telling you about the Mechanoid he used. We believe that we can build a super effeicient mechanoid around your body that you can ingress and egress at any time."
"You're joking."
"We Nanomachines don't jest when it comes to such applications, Ben."
"Then how will I control it?"
"We will construct a nural/fiber optic interface at the base of your skull. It will become an extension of your own body."
"The interface won't be very big, will it?"
"Not at all, only a centimeter square."
"Very well then. I give. What do you need for the cybernetics?"
Ben had told his Father about his decisions. Aaron took it very seriously. He had Ben explain it to Henry so he could gather the materials for the Nanomachines to use, they wern't goingto tell anyone else yet. These materials needed Ben could not ingest, so they had to place them on top of him as he slept through the process. First thing the Nanomachines did was carfully rebuild his skeleton with titainium alloy, one little bit at a time. Then they would build the the Quantum Field Pulse Disruptor Cannon into his right arm, then the Energy Shield Unit in his left arm. Then his entire muscle system was rebuilt. It was still all organic, but it made strong enough to perform feats of strength of mythical preportions. Thenthey did things like enhancing his sense of balance, intensified his motor skills and coordination, gave him a photographic memory, ability to see in infrared or ultraviolet when he wanted to, further streangthed his pokemon attacks, and gave him psionic power to rival Mewtwo himself. Ben would become a power unto himself.
The process only took a day to complete. When it was finished, Ben secretly went topside to test his power. He tried his Quantum Field Pulse Disruptor Cannon on an abandoned building. Anything it hit vanished as the quantum field suporting matter in these four dimensions colapsed (I think that's how it would work, quantum weapons like this are inspired by Star Trek's quantum torpedoes). Then he tried an Areoblast then. It destroyed a nearby cliff face, he hadn't been using much of his power.
"Don't tell me that you now have a liking for wanton destruction," said a familiar voice. There was only one person in the world who had that voice.
"Grandpa Lugia?" said Ben. He turned to see if his Great-Grandfather was actually there or if he was just using his telepathy. It turned out the old Lugia Hybred was indeed present. This Hybred was the original Lugia who had lived in the waters around the Orange Islands. When the Mutagenic Plague had been released there was a distribution device strategicaly place near the ocean currents that ran through there. He had been one of the first to be infected, and had inturn infected others unwittingly when he went to the surface for help. He wasn't too sorry for it though. He now had his wife, his children, his children's children, and now this one great-grandson, first of the new generation of Lugians. Benjamin had been a strong one, full of vitality, from the moment he got out of his egg. It was amazing that his parents ever keep up with him.
"No," said Ben, "I was testing my new abilities, judging my strength for future reference."
"Ah yes. I heard about your encounter with Giovanni. I wonder when that person will quit being such a bane to our existance. What has happened to you, Ben?" He told him about the nanomachines and what they had done to him, just so that he could have the edge in a fight against Giovanni.
"I see now," said Lugia. "Your Father was right in giving you your right to choose."
"But was it the right choice?"
"I don't know. Only time will tell, Ben."
They were both silent for a time, then Ben had an idea. "Hey, Grandpa. Can you throw an Aeroblast at me so I can test my shield?"
Lugia cocked an eyebrow at his great-grandson. "Are you sure you can handle an aeroblast from me, Ben?"
"Yeah, no sweat. Can't be too different from Dad's."
Lugia smirked a little. His great-grandson was in for a lesson. "Very well then." He began to breath deeply, summoning up his power. Finally, after a a minute of waiting, Lugia inhaled deeply and unleashed his aeroblast. Ben flung up his left arm, the one that housed the Energy Shielding Unit, to protect himself. A yellow form blossomed and formed into a convex oval shape centered on Ben's left forearm. The aeroblast struck and the shield held, but Ben didn't and went flying.
"WHHOOOOOOOAAAAA!" yelled Ben. When Lugia was done he went over to see where Ben had landed, chuckling the whole way. He found him, laying in a crater.
"I can't move yet," calmly stated Ben, giving Lugia a somewhat dirty look, "the Nanomachines are still fixing my spine."
Lugia smirked back at his great-grandson. "I see."
"What the hell was that? It sure didn't feel like a usual aeroblast."
"It is a power up technique that I learned to use a long time ago. I'm going to teach it to your father so he can use it against Giovanni."
Ben sighed. "That's good to know. At least he'll be on par with me to some degree now." Ben got up now, streching as he did to test the Nanomachine's repair job. Tendons cracked and popped as he arched his spine. Lugia winced at the sound. "Nanomachines are performing a post repair check," said Ben, "I'm okay now."
"Glad to know," said a slightly nauseated Lugia. "Why don't we go see your parents?"
"Just one thing, don't tell Mom about this yet, I don't want her to know yet."
"Don't worry. I feel the same way, Ben."
Ben was not the only one testing his new found strengths. Giovanni was in the ruins of his old base, feeling out his new abilities. The power he now possesed exhilerated him, like it was some sort of drug. But like with any drug, he was becoming addicted.
And that was the last coherent scene. Some text here would have involved the nanits by his order making him into the ultimate weapon. Later scenes would have involved Duplica turning out to be alive after all this time due to her ditto given near immortality, and and had aided Ben in gaining his freedom as a Rocket scientist and would later fuse with other ditto hybreds to make herself more of a match for Giovanni. Also on the scene would have been Hiro Ketchem, Ash's son and Giovanni's grandson (umbreon hybrid) who had killed Giovanni's lover, the former female persian who replaced Meowth. Sadly a resolve to the story was never written due to Raven moving on in life. Still, it's a very interesting piece of world building and I felt it needed sharing.
