A Child's Mind
Monster Island, 8 pm;
"So that's all we can do?" asks Tucker as he and Ivan leave the conference.
"I'm afraid so, we might have some defensive weapons on this island but we don't have anything that could destroy that comet." said Ivan.
"Well see you later."
"Ok, your room is three doors down from the control room.", Ivan leaves.
Tucker turns and looks out onto the island. All he thought he'd do is do a report on the island but now he might be in the same place Logan and Miki were when Bagan awoke, stuck in the middle of an attack by one of the most powerful creatures the world had ever known. If that comet contained something anywhere near as strong as the last space monster, the earth was in grave danger. Could even Apollo stop something as powerful as Tyrana was? He looked over to find Kim sitting at a table, busily drawing. He walks over to her. "High Tucker, want to see what I'm drawing?" asks Kim with a smile.
"Sure." he responds. Kim hold up her drawing to reveal an almost perfect picture of Gaira. For a moment Tucker is speechless, how could a four-year-old draw like that. "Wow! You really drew this?"
"Yeah, dad taught me how."
"Do you have more?"
"Yeah come on." said Kim, excitedly.
She leads him down the hall to her room. She opens the door and lets him in. The room was much like the other bedrooms he'd seen in this place, solid white walls, one light on the ceiling, a walk-in closet, and a bed, Kim's had various cartoony pictures of Rodan on the sheets. However there was something else. Hanging from the wall were drawings of the other creatures on monster island, with the same caliber of the one of Gaira. Kim runs over and hangs her newest drawing. "You drew all these? By yourself?" asks Tucker, amazed.
"Yeah, good huh?" asks Kim with a smile.
"Good? More like awesome. Some of the professionals I know can't draw this good."
"That's because they're not psychics." said a voice from behind them. Tucker turns to see Miki walk in. "Kim is one of the most powerful telepaths I've ever seen, she's even better than me. That's how she's become so smart, she can and does copy information from the mines of anyone around her. Considering this place is full of scientists you get the idea of just how smart she is."
"Does she know everything I do?"
"Lets see, your girlfriend just left you, you're an only child, you misspelled camp in your fifth grade spelling bee, and you are 28 years old." recited Kim.
"Ok, that was impressive. If she's so smart why does she still act like a little girl?"
"Because she is still a little girl." said Miki.
"Should of seen that coming."
"She is also pretty good at designing stuff, Kim show him Jet Jaguar."
"Ok." said Kim, she whistles. The closet door opens and out walks a human-like robot. The robot's head, forearms, legs, and part of its upper arms were silver. The chest, part of the upper arms and legs were red, blue and yellow. The head was pointed and had a big smile. Overall it reminded Tucker of one of the Ultraman TV shows he used to watch, not surprising considering its designer.
"She built this?" asks Tucker, amazed.
"No just designed. Logan built him. He might look like something out of a Saturday morning TV show but he is more than able to defend himself. His internal computer system is programmed with a variety of martial arts moves and he can incase his hands in sonic energy. Originally, he was supposed to be made a EDF battle mech but Jacob just laughed at the idea. I think he would have been much more popular with the public than the Apollo is. At the moment he is just Kim's babysitter and protector." said Miki.
"So this guy is like her butler?"
"He'll do whatever she tells him too and will do anything to protect her. That's one of the advantages of being a robot, no fear. He has no fear of dieing to protect her."
"Does he talk?"
Jet Jaguar replies with a series of arm signals. "That means sort of." said Kim.
"Does he know what I'm saying?"
"Yeah, his A.I. is really advanced thanks to Ivan's programming skills. Jet isn't the only thing she's designed come this way." said Miki. She leads them up a stair case to the roof. Standing there were for identical human-sized robots. They stood upright, their feet were treads, their hands cone like things, their head looked very bird-like except with a drill bit in place of a beak, and their yellow eyes stared blankly into the night sky. "Moguera units.", at Miki's command the robots turn to face them. "These are called Mogueras, their designs were Kim's second attempt at getting a EDF mech built. With Ivan's help she came up with the weapons systems and this time she tried for a less cartoony design but Jacob still laughed. Logan however saw how we could use them. Mogueras present arms."
"Yes master." said the Mogueras in computerized voice. The hands open to reveal a pair of missiles and the chest plates opens to reveal a dish-like object that Tucker identified as masers.
"Each Moguera is equipped with plasma eye cannons, a powerful maser, can emit an EMP field, quite obviously the drill, and it signature weapons the Spiral Grenade Missiles. These aren't nearly as strong as the full sized version would be but together they could take down a jet."
"How many do you have?"
"Four on each building, two in each building, and four more at the civilian areas. The ones on the roofs are the only ones not concealed. We use them as a defensive system, they are linked into the cameras and if they detect anyone not in the system in these building they will deploy and remove the intruders, the plasma eye beams are completely non-lethal and are used to subdue humans but they will switch to their heavy weaponry if the threat is too high."
"And she designed theses things?"
"Yes I did, with Ivan's help of course." said Kim.
"Attention, massage from Logan, comet has accelerated. Estimated time of impact, 12 noon tomorrow." reported one of the Mogueras.
Hope you liked that chapter. I'd also like to invite you guys to visit the Rodan fanfic I'm posting, hopefully it will do as good as this series has! Next chapter, Hedorah arrives.
