Chapter 4

Light, actually light broke down into the ocean water as the sun reached down to touch the planets and wild life in the oceans waters. Dark gray rocks and sand help all the coral and seaweed with the rest of the ocean planet life. There was a dip in the terrain that rain westward and deeper into the abyss of the ocean. East wards the mountain raised back up a bit before it slipped back into the darkest pits of the ocean.

An eighteen-year-old Hydro continued to swim through the water in his diving suit. The suite itself was quite think yet thin at the same time. His blue suit was an inch thick providing head entrapment to keep his body from freezing. On the end of his feet was a pair of black flippers that allowed him to swim through the water with ease. Covered his hands was black gloves that kept his fingers from freezing off. Covering his entire head was a black mask that had a set of googles to let him see underwater. 'Ready glad I can breathe underwater,' Hydro deadpanned. 'Now where are they?' Hydro paused in the water as he held his position. 'Now why would they need to come this close to the surface?' He wondered.

He blinked under the water as he saw his target. A squid. Slowing swimming over to it. He neared it till he was right on top of it. Taking only a few minutes he pulled out something and tagged it to pull it to the side. Slowly he dragged it to the side and a menu appeared on the inside of his googles as it showed all the health inform on the creature. 'The fuck!' His eyes widened. 'The poison is….' His entire thought process stopped. After a few minutes to reboot he let it go and looked over the data in his underwater glasses.

"They need air!" He spoke aloud. 'I know I was badly poisoned but! Their bodies should be falling apart! Not mutating!' Hydro shook his head and continued to swim. 'I need to see if there are more like that one.'

'Bullshit,' Hydro exclaimed. 'It's no wonder why these ones are this close to the surface!' He rested against the clear mountain side in the ocean. 'I got to inform mom and the others!'

Moist, the room was wet with the entire room being very damp. The white walls grayed and dull with all of the moister in the air. In the long room was a pool. No an entrance to the ocean as there was ocean water that fed in through underwater tunnels. For the simple reason that this was a submarine docking bay. Out from the water rose a blue and silver diving machine with all of the water cascading off of the metal back into the ocean water. Smooth yet boxy the sub also had two wings go out and attach to a vertical trapezoid with the angled edges facing the front of the ship.

The front of the ship was more like the engine of the old bullet trains of the past. As it went back twenty feet the nose ended and blended from the circle design into a square like design. As it went to the back the square turned into a rectangle that held the ships engine. It's thrust came from the two fins that ended in the back of the submarine. Starting right at the halfway Mark from the nose to the back end.

The wing extruded out at a forty-five-degree angle and blended into the side of the sub to create the curve in the front of the two feet thick wing. Half wall down the wind it's curve turn into a straight line parallel to the side of the ship. It was there on the face that the curve turned into was where the trapezoids was attached to. Lastly at the ends of the wings was vents where water jetted out by the turbines hidden in the wings that laid flush at the bottom of the submarine.

After it parked in the single hanger for the submarine, a door on the side opened as if it was always there. From the inside came a light blue hue as two figures stepped out of the dock onto a glass bridge that connected to the door from the dock. As the two came out they carried a small amount of equipment as they walked onto the dock. "Like I said mother," the male in the pair of two said. "I swear this is happening because of the poison in the water. Just like my before I was reborn."

Maggie shook her head, "But honey remember. You were breaking apart." She rubbed her son's head much to his annoyance as his face displayed that. "But some of them are still falling apart."

Hydro stopped and turned around to look at his mother. "Yeah but of all the ones that are alive. Half of them need air to breathe!"

"I admit that is troubling and most thought provoking," his mother admitted with a thinking pose as a hand held her chin. "But, still…." She trailed off.

"What is it?" Hydro droned.

"I can't help but think that they are going to change even more," Maggie's voice held concern.

"Maybe they'll evolve to be like me," joked Hydro.

"I don't think that would be likely," his mother responded with a monotone voice.

"I was just joking," Hydro's face fell. He suddenly blinked and spoke up. "Although. Did all land creatures come from the ocean?"

"Hydro you cannot possibly think…"

"I'm just entraining the idea," Hydro cut off his mother. "Besides I want to keep an eye on those ones."

"Did you tag them?" Maggie asked her son.

"I did," Hydro nodded. "It's because of that poison that I am intrigued by them. It's so similar to when I found Scarlet…"

"I guess," Maggie stated. But then she grossed her arms and smirked. "Speaking of her. When are you going to ask her out?" She teased her son.

"MOM!" Hydro moaned with a red embarrassed face.

"What? If you don't ask her out not then someone else might ask her out," Maggie giggled at her son's expense.

"I see her as a sister!" Hydro exclaimed with a red face. Maggie's face held a smug look as her son sighed. "Fine." He groaned. "We are close friends."

"Really?" Maggie teased her son once again. "She has my approval."

"Mom!"

"I have seen the way that you look at her honey."

Hydro's cheeks went pure red. "Fine! I do like her!" Hydro threw his hands in the air. "I just don't want to wreak our friendship."

"Just remember what I said," Maggie rubbed her son's head.

"Very funny," Hydro swatted away his mother's hand. "Well whatever." Hydro shook his head and looked off for a second before speaking up. "I was going to see her after this anyways." He then silently with a slightly red face walked out of the hanger to an amused mother.

"Mom," Hydro's voice spoke over the speakers inside the sub. Large but not overly massive, the inside of the Sub held three floors. The top held the submarine's controls and a few sleeping rooms. She was currently on the second floor of the sub where the floor was made of a black mesh along the center of the open long fusion of a room and a hallway. The mesh only covered one fourth of the wide of the room while the rest of the floor was a dark gray color that was offset from the black mesh floor. On the west wall directly across from the door that lead outside of the sub was a holographic compute system that display countless data.

The monitor of the computer was displaying out of the black desk that held a blue hue underneath the floating computer desk board. Under it was a few circular floating chairs was underneath the table that the computer generated over. In the ceiling was a white light strip that ran down the center of the room's ceiling.

In one of the chairs Maggie sat down looking over the data that keep pouring on through the system. Near the top of the screen made of a light blue light was a picture of Hydro with a box to its left that showed an audio line that moved with his voice.

"What is it?" She responded.

"Are you getting the data that I am sending right now?"

Maggie started to watch the new data that her son just collected and as it poured in she nearly fell of her chair in surprise. "Hydro! This cannot be right!" She slammed both hands onto the desk to push herself up.

"I am not mother," Hydro's low voice came through. "They are just like the squids that we have been keeping an eye on for the last two years."

'The poison!' She cried out in her mind. 'Hydro was right! It's not killing the wild life anymore!' Frantically she swiped through the data and finally spoke up. "Hydro. Son. Please tag as many as you can."

There was a pause before her son responded. "I'm already on it."

'Why is it only effecting the wild life and not us?' She wondered. Her eyes narrowed. 'The poison doesn't seem to harm us. Why?'

"Mother," Hydro's voice snatched his mother's attention once again. "I still might be right about them becoming like me and Scarlet." He joked.

Maggie let out a quiet laugh. "You and that joke." She finally fell back into the chair. 'I need to figure out why they are changing. The poison was supposed to kill anything in the ocean when it got tainted.'

"Damn you made a lot of process," Hydro told Scarlet. "In only two years!" Hydro complimented his girlfriend. Scarlet's appearance over the years had changed slightly. Scarlet let her long flowing hair reach down to her waist. This only added a more sexual look as her assets had grown as well. With a nice and thin looking body her breasts stood out quite a bit as they were as big as beach balls. Her waist was thin but not too thin but looked quite thin as her hips and rear was at least half the size of her bust.

Scarlet only smiled at Hydro in the white room. In the room held the first 25x25x25 Hydro fusion cell that she shrunk only after two years when she started at eighteen. Open it was more open than it was ever in the past. More air was cycling around through the room. The room itself was a round room with it being 50ft round and twice as high. Near the back of the rounded wall was the fusion cell that got feed by four pipes of glass with water from the top back section o F the room. Two came out of the 1:30 and the 10:30 position to run over to the hydro fusion cell that was in the same general shape as the room it was in.

The clear pipes then attached to the top center of the fusion cell. The Fusion cell was a made of a glass metal with silver metal pillars that hold the cell in its need structure. With the center tube being twenty feet round, the other four pillars were the four feet round in circumference. Connecting them together was a thick one-foot-tall x shaped bracket that had the center of the bracket being circular based and have its edge offset by half a foot.

Each of the four arms reached out over to the top of each pillar with a round silver disk that latched on with only an inch offset from the face of the round pillar.

"Yeah two years of pain in the ass material gathering," Scarlet's face fell. She looked around from her white anti-grave work table. "Trying to gather the materials in the fucking first place was a pain in my ass."

Hydro's closed his eyes as he laughed with a nervous grin. Opening his eyes, "At least you got it done. You even solved the energy issues we were having!" He exclaimed with a grin.

Scarlet softly smiled, "True but we had to conserve our power while I made it." Moving her head, she looked into her boyfriend's eyes and continued. "Since the others two are failing I will have to make another one."

"It should be easier to do so right?" Hydro asked. "Your making those Nano machines right? Wouldn't they help?"

Scarlet shook her head. "Only once I get them working and this one can replace those two other ones and its half the size. So if I make one more it'll be as if we had four fusion cells from the settlement instead of three."

Hydro nodded as he looked past her girlfriend to see the holographic 3d models that was displayed over the top of her work table. "Looks like the fusion cell."

Scarlet blinked and took note of what he was talking about. "Oh that. I am trying to find a way to shrink the damn thing down into a scuba tank. If I can it'll potentially fix our energy issues."

"Wait a minute," Hydro spanned his fingers. "If you can make them work than we can get those water filters powers out in the ocean!"

"Sure," Scarlet spoke up. "That was not my first thought of what I was going to do but sure."

"Then what's the reason," Hydro crossed his arms.

"I was going to shrink them down enough to implant one into my arm," Scarlet flexed her cybernetic arm.

"Why the fuck would you want to do that," Hydro's face fell.

"I just want to do it," Scarlet cracked her fingers and grinned. "That's another reason why I am making the Nano machines. That way I could possibility make them regenerate in my own body!"

"Regenerate?" Hydro repeated.

"Well it'll be in my body so I'd want it to heal without having to do surgery to fix it," Scarlet smiled.

"I can see the benefits," Hydro admitted. "How soon how long should it take to make you little Nano tech?"

"If I keep making more progress like I am right now," Scarlet smiled. "I might be able to make it work in two years. Granted by then both of the old hydro fusion cells will be taking down."

"Wait both?" Hydro almost exclaimed.

"Number 3 was already replaced and I will be replacing number 2 with another one of my shrunken one down fusion cells."

"What about number 1?" Hydro rose an eyebrow.

"It'll be empty till we need to use it," Scarlet remarked.

"I guess that answers that question," Hydro said. "But two years?"

Scarlet created a confused look as she put togather what her boyfriend meant, "Oh. Yeah. It'll take two years. Tops."

Hydro walked through the white, silver and glowing blue hallway that created a half circle to connect to each of the three fusion cell rooms. Above and below the twenty-two-year-old was pipes of Hydro Cold fusion that moved through the thick glass pipes. Gradient mesh floors stat and ran down the center of the white floor creating an offset in colors as the grate split the floor into three even stripes.

The open ceiling showed off two more sets of clear pipes that the cold fusion went through in the ceiling supports that held both the pipes and the ceiling up. Hydro's steal infused sandals with a toe guards walked through the hall creating echo's as he did. His black sandals blend well into his long dark blue pants. Holding both of his hands in his pockets he had a white short sleeve shirt with a soft watermark of the Cryoshell band logo. Over that he had a vest that had its colors match his pants.

The vest that he wore was an open with a black zipper going down the center. With a small hair band, he held his two tentacles back to his back to create his signature pony tail with the two tentacles reaching down past his shoulders at his current age.

His hazel eyes swept over the hall as he passed the first door to the third cold fusion room, after walking halfway down the curving hall he stepped through the door way to walk into the room. "So you finally got the Nano tech working!" He smiled as she called out to Scarlet who was working with a holographic display of parts.

Scarlet rolled her head to look at her boyfriend and grinned. "YEP!" She snapped her fingers as a silver liquid rush out from a white hovering table and spun around her cybernetic arm. "I got them to work."

Even though she was scientist, she did not wear the standard white clothes. Black and red, her entire color theme held both of those colors. She wore a scarlet red long sleeve shirt with a black windbreaker vest. On her right hand she still had the black communication band on. Covering her legs, she had on a skin tight black pants with a scarlet red belt and scarlet red circuit grid patterns itched over her pants. Finally, she had on a pair of scarlet and black shoes.

"A liquid?" Hydro noted.

"Not really," Scarlet replied. "All of the Nano tech may look like that togather but it's actually countless little bots. It just how they merge and blend togather makes it looking like this. With this I should be able to put the hydro fusion cell in my arm!" Scarlet exclaimed with excitement.

"I'm not going to let…" Hydro started.

"Nice try sweetie but I am going to do it," Scarlet huffed.

"You didn't let me finish," Hydro remarked. "I won't let you do it alone. If you are going to put one inside yourself then I am going to get one alone. I won't let you take the whole brunt of the side effects by yourself."

"Hydro…." Scarlet cried.

"We are in this togather," Hydro grabbed her hand. "If anything I will be able to help you make it work in complete harmony with our bodies as a biologist."

"You're a marine biologist," Scarlet pulled her hand out of his grip.

"So?" Hydro shook his head. "I learned all about my body and I can tell when something is wrong."

"I know cybernetics," Scarlet droned. "I know what I am doing." She put her hands on her hips. "But I guess it wouldn't hurt if you are willing to try as well."

"How far do you plan to go?" Hydro popped the question.

"All the way."

"What?" Scarlet broke the silence. "It'll only be like my arm. Nothing drastic. I mean it most likely only have one of the fusion cells in my arm."

"That… that's insane!" Hydro snapped. "I understand the thirst for knowledge but to play god?"

"I'm not doing it to play god." Scarlet remarked. "I want to do it because I want to."

….

"And to think that you managed to talk me install going along with your idea," Hydro droned on as he thought about the event. Hydro smiled and crossed his arms in the old fusion cell room. Scarlet turned and grinned.

"Well you agreed to it. I finally got the Nano tech working," Scarlet told her boyfriend. "Just so you know this design is different from the fusion cells that power the settlement." She spun around to look at Hydro. Currently Hydro was leaning against the wall to the left of the door to the room. He still had on a short sleeve white shirt with a faint silver Cryoshell logo on the center of his shirt. Over that he had on the dark navy blue vest with a black open zipper going down his chest. He also had his black communication watch on his left wrist. Hydro had both hands in his tight black cargo shorts with his preferred black steel toed sandals. on.

But over the last two years like his girlfriend his right arm had cybernetics fusion into his arm. Yet the black metal glowed blue with a hue of turquoise as it took a more hex like design with less connected black metal.

A black ring of metal wrapped around his wrist, Over the top of his hand there was black metal lines that went over his fingers marking out the hand bones in his hand. Under each of his finger nails was a neon blue light that lit up his nails. The pattern that came out of his on the inner and the out sides of his wrist with a black one-inch-wide stripe the curled around his lower half of his arm once. Both of the lines never touched one another and got thinner till they created a spike end at his elbow.

It was there past the elbow were there was two black triangles with the inners of these elongated shapes was a glossy glowing blue. Embedded in there was white circuits visible like those on a computer mother board. Togather the two triangles created a long diamond that got slip the long way. The two shapes were off centered from one another and wrapped around his entire upper half of his arm.

"But I am still trying to figure out which one of my designs for the organic fusion cel.."

"Organic?" Hydro crossed his arms.

"Yeah, all cybernetics are a fusion of synthetic and organic." Scarlet reminded Hydro. "This design is going to use the Nano tech and our bodies to maintain it."

Hydro blinked, "Wait a minute. How the hell did you figure this out but not how to get the fusion cells to fit in a scuba tank like you always wanted?" Pointed out Hydro.

Scarlet's face fell, "I got a bunch of prototypes simulated but I cannot risk the breakdowns till I get it ironed out. I don't want to risk the chance."

"I guess I can see your point," Hydro admitted. "I'd thought you'd have created the small fuel cell and dancing to that MonsterCat Music of yours."

"Oh, I will once we get the cells installed," Scarlet rubbed her hands together making her breasts jiggly. Hydro slightly blushed at the sight before coughing.

"Ok but what is the side effects of us doing this?" Hydro asked his girlfriend.

"Well," Scarlet put her hands in her pockets and shrugged. "The worst I got at the moment is the stopping of our appearances age."

"Stopping aging…" Hydro trailed off.

"Well it'd most likely just slow our aging done because of the energies and the nutrients that the cells will be giving us." Scarlet told him.

"Wait a fucking minute," Hydro pinched his nose with his right hand and held up his left. "So you are saying that it'll slow our aging down?" He released his formed.

Shrugging Scarlet spoke, "Just our appearances will slow down in aging. It might stop but I doubt it'll stop. From what I have deducted it'll just keep us younger but we can still pass away like Esmerelda, Jones, Alice and Alex."

Hydro face palmed and looked at his girlfriend through his fingers. "Fine but I hope we don't become eternally young."

Scarlet turned around as she waved him off, "You worry too much sweetie. But, wouldn't it be cool to see the squids and the Octopuses evolve over time?"

"I like to think about the real picture," Hydro droned one but he stopped as he looked at Scarlet's long hair. "By the way why did you let your hair grow out that long?"

Scarlet stopped playing with the holographics, "What do you like them? I wanted to grow them out longer." Scarlet ran her hand through her hair as she glanced at Hydro who blushed a bit. "Well should we get started?" Scarlet drove the topic off of the tangent.

"Oh yeah," Hydro grinned. "I guess we better get started."

Scarlet grinned and made the silver Nano liquids. The bots came out from a few containers off to the side. "We'll have one gallon each in our arms which shall build the cell."

"A gallon?" Hydro exclaimed.

"It'll be what molds the cell into our bone," Scarlet informed the shell shocked Hydro. "I probably should have mentioned that." Nervously she scratched her cheek. "But…"

"Ya think?!"

"I'm not perfect!" Scarlet remarked.

"But your body is," Hydro spoke under his breathe.

"Glad you think so," Scarlet crossed her arms to make her bust jiggle. She grinned at the blushing Hydro. "We can have fun later." She sung the last word making Hydro's face get a little red. "But shall we get started finally?"

"Yes, lets." Hydro coughed. "We keep going on wild tangents."

Grasping her hands, "Time to start."

Hydro was looking over his new arm as he looked over the changes in his lower arm. Under his skin was a feint translucent blue glow of circuit grids with the lines staying all parallel and straight only splitting and branched off on forty-five degree angles and some ending with hollow bullet points. In the absolute center of his arm was the cell made of metal and liquid Nano bots. The main part of the cell was merged with his bone to make it stronger as well as acting like bone marrow despite it being a hydro fusion cell.

On the underside of his arm was a long blue glowing bar that came out of his wrist and ran up to his inner side of this elbow with two thin black metal lines that outlined the entire thing.

"How does it feel?" Scarlet grabbed his attention. Hydro turned to smile at his girlfriend. Scarlet like Hydro had her right arm change as well. Mostly the metal and skin around her bottom half of her lower arm was the same kind of bar that Hydro had built into his arm. Only that it glowed red and inside her arm she too had it glow underneath her skin only it was red in hue.

She grinned and leaned forwards to speak again with her hands behind her back. "I must say I think it fits you."

"Thanks," Hydro thanked her. "This feels so damn different but at the same time it doesn't."

"Oh really now?" Scarlet teased as she walked up close to Hydro having their noses nearly touching. Hydro grinned and without a warring kissed Scarlet much to her shock as her eyes widened before she embraced the kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck to hold tight. Hydro then without a warning tripped her to make them fall onto each other with him on top as the two broke up their kiss.

"Oh yes now." Hydro grinned.

"BINGO!" Scarlet grinned as she looked through the dark room that she used as her lab. Before her was a glass tank with water filling the ten-foot-tall cylinder. Inside was lose wires and metal. A small little robot, wheel like in design had its wires and pure electronics floating out in the vat of water. The main body was a black cylinder with each of the four cardinal directions having a scuba tank embedded in the sides. Clean clear glass covered the fusion cells that was held inside of the silver tanks. Each one of the cells had a single large white tube that came out of the top and the bottom of the tanks to blend and merge back into the main body.

Both the top and the bottom faces of the main body was a dull black mesh with a white fan that pulled water into the main body. Yet it was there that a silver ring that hovered out wider and farther away from as the round rod created a ring shape. The two rings were twice as big in diameter compared to the main body and was a foot and a half away from the mesh textures of the main body. But they were not detached from the main body as four hard clear tubes connected to the ring being evenly spaced out from one another. The rings were filled with countless holes in the ring to have the water that was getting pulled into the device to leave it.

Scarlet turned the lights on mentally making her night vision which to the day vision as the lights came on in the room. "Look like the filters are working," She talked to herself. 'With this the ocean can get purified.' She grinned as she looked at the four fusion cells in the device.

So who saw this coming? I did! Then again I wrote it so… But one last reminder. You can read the last chapter right now before I show it Monday on my site So go ahead and visit my ad free site.

Now back to the chapter. This was fun to write and plan. For one. I added and must have thrown some wrenches into what you thought would happen. So let me say that most likely what you think is going to happen might not happen. I mean the squids needing air, Hydro admits he loves Scarlet. Scarlet's body is perfect according to Hydro.

Scarlet is a huge Monstercat fan and Hydro loves Cryoshell. And yes Cryoshell is a band and MonsterCat is an EDM music label. Has published damn good music. And I love both of them. So anyways I how you all picked up all the hints I placed in this chapter and please comment away!
