Here's another chapter of Memories of Jade. This one's really short but it has a few important things. It sets up Jade's new weapon and gives a little backstory on his old one.
Hope you have a nice day and enjoy the chapter!
Jade Rose, age eleven years old
Me, Taiyang, Yang, and Ruby were out clothes shopping. We had just left a shop and I saw a person. They had turquoise hair sticking out of her hoodie. She had a hoverboard tucked under her arm. "Hey Dad, I'll be back in a second." I run over and say hi. "Could I see your hoverboard?"
"Sure!" She handed it over. It was heavier than I expected. I turn it over. Cool.
"Scan and set to four, move four to nine."
"Scan complete." My weapon said in a synthesized female voice.
"What was that?" Reese asked. I just remembered her name.
"My weapon can copy others. It take a while so it's not useful in combat, but it can make hard light copies, watch. Four." A hardlight copy of the hoverboard appeared in front of me. I step it, and slip. "Terminate!" I look up at the skater. "That's going to take a little bit used to."
"Cool weapon. See you around I guess." She walks away with her parents teasing her.
"Who was that?" Taiyang asked me. "A new girlfriend?"
"Nope." I say, adding nothing.
"Then who was she?"
"I think she was a tourist, but she had a really cool weapon."
"So you would walk up to strangers if they had cool weapons?" Ruby asked.
"Wouldn't you?" I asked.
"Yeah." She said, defeated.
Jade Rose, age twelve years old
"Hey Jade, what are you doing?" Yang asked.
"I'm trying to make a laser using fire dust." I aimed the pistol I was holding at the ground. I fired a single shot. The ground was scorched where it hit. "Nice, it…' It started growing hot in my hands. "Well, crap." I threw it on the ground. I cover it with a pot and sit on the pot. I cross my legs and wait until it shakes a little bit. I get off and take the pot off the ground. There's just more blackened ground. "Hmm, I'll have to try again."
"Why are you trying so hard?"
"Because then I can move on to sustained lasers. Then I can make a sword made out of light. Like a light-saber."(1)
"That sounds cool."
"Yeah, it'll be awesome. But it will probably take quite a while."
1 Yeah, I don't own anything connected to Star Wars. Except for a lightsaber and a costume. I was a jedi for a few years.
