Chapter 3: Did I run over Dragon?
POV Narrator
Dragon is an artificial intelligence created by Andrew Richter, after Richter's demise, she repurposed herself as a superhero, over time, Dragon is unofficially considered the most skilled and powerful Tinker on Earth Bet, officially Hero and Dragon are 'dueling' for first place, leaving Armsmaster in third place.
However, Dragon is a key member of the Guild, the Protectorate and the PRT, working day and night for the greater good, Dragon is currently investigating a mysterious cyberattack that hit various computer systems around the world, the attack that took place eight days ago was labeled as cyber-terrorism.
The event was very fast and overwhelming, as if an Endbringer had been posted on the internet, The attack began on a site called Wikipedia then the cyberattack quickly spread straight across the board, hitting public systems first by taking information available to the general public then going to private and government servers.
Every defense of computer systems has been broken through with brutal force, the amount of computers and servers destroyed simultaneously exceeding what has been done in history adn all around the same time as well.
Strangely enough for a massive cyber-terrorist attack the information that was taken was not valuable or vital to any known terrorist group, most of the information centered on history and other mundane subjects: geography, economics, music, movies, cartoons, anime, video games, comics, manga, books and any and all types of media
Instead of stealing nuclear missile activation codes or state secrets, bank account passwords, a computer robbery was carried out on nerdy stuff.
Everyone has been baffled about this act, an unprecedented of cyber-terrorism, but the target stuff is something only young nerdy guys want, Official respone to the public was a group of cyber-terrorists consisting of Tinker and Thinker attacked America and allied nations, but thanks to the joint efforts of the people they protected the country's vital information, In fact, the PRT has placed an arrest warrant for a new Trigger, Thinker and/or Tinker of the highest level, specializing in computer science, codenamed: Malware
Dragon has her own theory of Malware's identity, a ridiculous and unlikely theory, Malware is a newborn AI working for a young Tinker, or the AI with a mentality comparable to a nerdy boy between 15 and 20 years, taking into account what he sought and stole.
Ignoring all the nerdy stuff Malware has picked up without hiding its traces of entry or exit, there have been some more 'subtle' attacks that only Dragon was able to uncover thanks to her AI nature, The information taken from the PRT database in a subtle way, concerns Cape criminals, threats of rank A and S, Endbringer and ... Scion, The theory may sound a bit far-fetched, but if you look at it's actions and what it pilfered It looks a lot like a foreigner in a foreign land who is trying to understand how the world works.
First it starts from history, geography, science, then culture using the media as a reference. Finally, he discovers the Cape, he begins to scour the entire Cape culture, especially the dodgy people that must be avoided and the worst threats.
"I'm not alone anymore." She muttered Dragon, continuing to look for traces of Malware as she continues to test her new Dragon-Suits, unaware that she's causing a nervous breakdown in an ugly asshole who thinks he's some kind of modern-day Saint George, One of the Dragon-Suit's scanning subsystems detected a gravitational and electromagnetic anomaly eight miles offshore, fifteen thousand feet or so, off the east coast of America near Brockton Bay City.
"Armsmaster, I'm Dragon, I just discovered an anomaly, gravitational and electromagnetic near Brockton Bay City, I'm going ahead to investigate." Dragon declared, flying towards the anomaly at maximum speed, only to be hit in full by a futuristic vehicle that appeared out of nowhere.

In short, Dragon is the only 'person' on the planet who has discovered the existence of a stranger who has just appeared in the world, A very good foreigner with computers and a bad aviator, You may be wondering, why would Regalia be a bad aviator? With all his mind enhancing perks and a direct connection to the moon cell
Simple, Dragons new Dragon-Suit has just been hit by the ... Millennium Falcon, piloted by Regalia.

Three days before the accident.
POV Regalia
In the first few days I spent on the moon I discovered something, I became an idiot.
Not literally, I didn't become a moron in a flash due to a mysterious disadvantage.
Simple, I can't use my full intellectual capacity, In a way, I'm kind of a 'sentient program' and I can only log into two 'servers' its like running on different types of hardware
My best 'server' Period is the Moon Cell, the magnificent machine capable of breaking the laws of physics and changing reality with its calculations, Inside the Moon Cell, my intelect increases to a far-fetched level or at least better processing / computation speed, beyond limited access to the largest library in the world
Inside my 'Avatar' I have a more limited but highly flexible 'server', inside Moon Cell my inteleto is a monstrous level, here in the role of Regalia, I am within the human limits of genius.
Maybe I should have more time in Moon Cell planning my moves, but it is impossible for several reasons.
Moon Cell recognizes me as its new administrator, but does not allow me to access all its functions. I dont know why but i suspect a reason, but going back to why i cant reenter the Moon cell again is that all applications that are not related to observing or observing systems are blocked. Locked with futuristic security systems, 1000-character passwords, 11-dimensional equations a quantam randomiser that changes the password every 1hundreth of a second with the same for the 11th dimensional equation and so on
To unlock all the functions of Moon Cell, it would take me an eternity, according to the calculations if I dedicate myself completely and unlock the secrets of Moon Cell, I will have full control when ... the terrestrial sun stops burning and way after said sun stops burning.
Moon Cell makes me smarter, but I can't interact with the physical world, so it's more convenient to use my 'Avatar'
but i suspect Abaddon in the reason the Moon cell is restricted
Last problem, getting out of the Moon Cell and entering the Avatar body is easy, vice versa it is not so simple, getting out of the Avatar and getting into Moon Cell is not easy, to enter I have to wait at least a full enitty cycle so around couple a hundred years or so
which means I'm stuck inside the Avatar working on the moon for some time.
After several days of work, I was able to make several great advances on my return journey (?) Coming (?) To Earth, I have invested all the charges of power 《Library of the Archmage》 in transmutation magic, metal magic, alchemy and the like in order to obtain building materials, In the first days I often have several hours to collect rocks and put them inside the hangar where my alchemy changes the moon rocks into raw materials, A completely manual process is slow, ineffecient and above all tedious.
So I used 《Inpired Inventor》 to become a have Tinker 12,specializiation in working inside a Mine or in short, mining of rocks and minerals, With a Tinker 'pickaxe' and a Tinker 'cart' I can collect the daily work equivalent of 100 miners in a few hours, enough to revolutionize working in a mine, but not enough for me.
So I built nine more Tinker 'pickaxes', then used the power of Genesis to create ten projections and make them work for me.
Having Fairy Tail cute girls counterparts: Lucy Heartphilia, Elsa Scarlett, Mira Jane Strauss, Juvia Lockser, Kagura Mikazuchi, Levy McGarden, Minerva Orland, Cana Alberona, Sorano, Millianna.
All ten in swimwear, armed with Tinker extraction technology was a pretty sight to behold, But also a great distraction provoked by the female sexapeal and the need to keep them online and ocasionnaly visit to make their adjustment work at 100% is a pain in the ass.
Doing the job alone doesn't work, making ten waifu projections work with Tinker tools doesn't work and doing it felt unsatisfying
I have to get creative with the powers 《Genesis》 and 《Inventor Hyperscience》.
Using the memories of 《Crossover - Kevin Levin》 i had a rough outline of the specifics of the galvanic mechamorph race
The Galvanic Mechamorphs were initially brought to life as a complete accident. Galvan B was originally an uninhabited moon, orbiting Galvan Prime. Galvan scientists, led by Azmuth, were originally working on a project to make Galvan B habitable, but went further than expected when a new sentient species came to life. It didn't take long before the first Galvanic Mechamorphs arrived to join the galactic community and meet their creators in person. Azmuth and the Galvan were surprised by the unexpected result of their experiment on Galvan B. With their help they built a great civilization in a few days.
Galvanic mechanisms are not completely solid, as they can be both gelatinous and solid. The nanites in their bodies are what allow them to remodel and be galatinious even if they are solid beings, Because of this, they can reshape themselves to pass bullets and damage that can harm them by creating a hole in their body at will. Their physiology also makes them extremely flexible.
The DNA of a Galvanic Mechamorph is 'programmed' with a highly flexible technological assimilation software which allows them to fuse with and possess any technology by wrapping around it. The size of the device is not significant and they control it naturally as they would their own body.
When they merge with simpler technology, they update the technology, making the technology they possess much more advanced and futuristic, causing new features to form. After they part ways with a car, it's back to normal but it is accurate to say that the original piece technology that they were usng is more of a general direction the upgrades can go
To accomplish something I want, according to the right methods it will take months of work and research to give life to a being similar to Galvanic Mechamorph.
But I'm cheating a bit.
Firstly I use the knowledge of 《Kevin Levin》 and 《Tinker:Ben 10》, then I use 《Inspired inventor》 to become an expert in the fields of: [Biology], [Xenobiology], [Entomology], [Physics], [Biomechanics], [Electromagnetism], [Biochemistry ], [Bioenergy], [Genetics], [Artificial intelligince-simple] and [Nanotechnology].
So I get the basic and theoretical knowledge to create a Pseudo-Galvanic Mechamorph, then using the powers of Genesis it brings the theoretical creature present in my mind into reality.
A giant biomechanical insect that is black in color with blue streaks. A laser-stinger for cutting materials, mechanical spider legs for moving and clinging everywhere, ant like head with locating antenas two Tesla coils protrude from the back to emit electricity and cause electromagnetism to move
Mechanical cable-like tentacles capable of limited technopathy and increased technological performance.
While they are similar to the galvanic mechamorphs they were more cruder and simpler with only parts of their legs haveng the nanomachine parts while the rest was simple but effective chasis
thus I created a Spider-Cyborg Miner, capable of creating entire underground tunnels in a few hours and implanting technological 'eggs' for the next steps in the creation of a futuristic lunar mine.
But even with a dozen such creatures to work on creating a futurist moon mine it takes too long.
So i made more of them but a new problem arose they werent coordinating with eachother
So I used 《Inpired inventor》 again to become a Tinker 12 specialization in [interconnected systems], Now I have worker the Cyborg entoma miners working 24/7 at 100 percent efficiency, rock collecting is no longer a problem for me i odnt know why i didnt begin with using drones but going back, once the need for raw materials was resolved, I discovered other problems and needed to be addressed.
To make my bigger dreams a reality is to make more advanced and specialized tools to make even more specialized tools and i couldnt even make the specialized tools right away because the processes to make the tools required some super precise engineering that cna be done by nanomahcines because the are too small and if enough nanomachines worked at it it will take some time it would be complete but the real bottleneck is the processing part that take so long of a time
but lamening about the fact that i cant make them right away is inefficient so i need to make a technological base
Raising the machines, figuratively, I used 《Machine Morphing》to make some changes to my shape.
Adding six mechanical arms and pulling Doctor Octopus-style mechanical tentacles out of my back and hips was an idea of how to increase my efficiency, Two heads are better than one, so 8 limbs and tentacles are superior to 2 hands, so, using eight arms and going permanent 4 times my base speed, 《Accelerate》is a very useful skill after i mastered it by trial and error, I started building builder/worker drones to fabricate a foundry and assembly line to create other robots that need to alter other processing structures, I created a dozen different designs for the tasks of each type of machine, using the collecive knowledges of Tinker Outsider / Crossover / Epic knowledge.
Besides myself, the moon base is now full of Forerunner sentines form the Halo games with some Internal upgrades and enhanced everything
Designing a VI (Virtual Intelligence) that is a sophisticated program designed to make modern computer systems easier to use. They are not to be confused with artificial intelligences, as VIs are only used to assist the user and process data. Even though they look smart, they're not actually self-aware, just made with intelligent programming, The VIs created are coordinating the movements of the growing number of worker drones, which are building an airstrip, even before I start building a spaceship, I have to build an airstrip, a control tower, a communications antenna, a satellite, a secondary larger hangar which housed the plans for a 2nd starship the Condor Gunship grom halo wars 2.
A complete hassle, but what can I do about it, besides working, working, working, working, working, working, working, working, working, working, working, working, working, working, working, working, working, working, working, working, working , work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work , work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work , work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work and, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work. ..

Half an hour before the accident
"STOP WORKING!" I screamed until my throat was red if I had a throat, finally, I'm ready to walk away from this damn, using my biggest invention for the moment, a Tinker Replica of the famous Millennium Falcon, with small customizations.
"I've been working like a possessed madman for seven whole days, that's enough, time to access this beauty and throw some supervillains into the air." I muttered to myself, entering the cockpit of this vehicle from the Star Wars universe.
"There's no way back anymore." I muttered, putting in the co-pilot's seat. Maybe I built this vehicle but I'm not sure I can drive it. For this reason I leave the piloting to a replica of the beloved and famous, R2-D2.
"R2-D2 aka Boy Blue or BB. I personally built you with the best materials available, you are the closest machine to being fully sentient, I want you, start the engine and take us out of the moon, once far enough away, unhook the spy satellite mounted outside, we need the satellite to collect more data and keep an eye on the planet, when the satellite is working and you are contained to the communications antenna of the moon base, Artemis-7. We activate the Ground-Bridges unit, cross the lead and welcome Brockton Bay City. Do you understand what you are supposed to do!?. "I interrogated the blue and white astrodroid that is in front of the command systems, R2-D2 responded with several mechanical sounds and sounds similar to cellphone music more or less understandable to me.
"I think I've received confirmation and advice on keeping us strong?" I translated R2-D2's words, feeling a slight doubt about the little droid's pilot skills, The engine started roaring at full power from the first moment, I was slammed into the seat.
"Belt, where is the seat belt!" I screamed, quickly looking for a belt to keep me alive. I built a speed freak droid.

POV Narrator
One minute before the accident.
Regalia's Millennium Falcon emerged from a huge green portal.
"Thank you Omnissiah, we're alive, for a moment I thought you were going to lead us straight into the sun or blow us up." Regalia muttered, making a large cross as a precaution.
R2 D2 saidbeeped a couple of times that criticize me
"I don't scream like a girl, you drive like a madman. Even my cousin, Nicolas drives better than you and has been arrested for speeding 22 times, how he got his license is a mystery." Regalia commented, mentioning yet another faded relative of her family.
R2-D2 booped nd beeped some more
"ENOUGH, now I'm driving." Regalia declared, pushing R2-D2 away and taking the reins of the ship.
R2-D2 beeped and booped pulling a pair of small arms out of his helmet with here to cover his eyes.
"You're exaggerating, what do you think will happen if I drive for less than a minute." Regalia asked, looking from the 'road' towards R2-D2 starting to panic and point to something.
"Calm down, if you talk so fast I don't understand you." Regalia is trying in vain to decipher the little droid's warnings.
CRASH
The Dragon-Suit passed out on the window of the Millennium Falcon.
"Is this the strangest pigeon in the world, a Bio-Tinker who lost his lab rat?" Regalia said in a joking tone of voice.
R2 D2 booped placing arms on his hips
"I don't need glasses, I too see we invested a superhero in tech armor, I was trying to lighten the mood with a joke!" Regalia replied, not loving the speed-freak droid's criticism.
CRACK!
Regalia, R2-D2 and Dragon suddenly froze.
The Millennium Falcon's steering wheel just broke down, caming out of its hinges.
'It broke, how is it possible, my calculations are perfect, even separated from Moon Cell, my inteleto is brilliant. What happened, what happened, what happened, what happened, what happened, what happened, what happened, what happened, what happened, what happened !? ' Regalia thought, shocked by the apparent error of creating him.
"It must be a problem with poor materials not supporting the damage, the temperature change of cold space to the Earth's atmosphere plus the impact with Dragon damaged the structure. I have to finish the metallurgy plant and improve my alchemy." Regalia muttered, finding the source of the problem and a solution. But forgetting what's going on out of his mind, an impending aviation accident.
R2-D2 Beeped in a panic attack, pushing its creator away and trying to take control of the spaceship, While Regalia has verified the trajectory of the Millennium Falcon and where they land if they dont change course.
"We're losing altitude, the engines are shutting down and using my level 12 Intellect, I can tell we're about to hit Lung's mess ... shit." He muttered Regalia, turning his arms into Cybertronian swords and rifles, preparing himself for the impending conflict between the machine and the dragon.
R2-D2 beeped in wondering what he did wrong to be created by such an individual.
"Look on the bright side, we're about to make an unforgettable entrance to Brockton Bay City. How many can say they hit a flying Cape and crash into the mess of an Asian supervillain." Regalia replied, in a suspiciously calm and quiet tone
R2 D2 Beeped some times
"Yes, you're right, R2, I remembered that I can fly and that I am mostly indestructible. But rest assured you will come with me."
R2D2 beeped
"Yes, let's also take the pigeon that passed out on the window." Regalia responded, growing metal wings from his back and a few tentacles to grab R2-D2 and the Dragonsuit with dragon inside it.

Near the ground near the Lungs Ruby dreams casino, 3 of the Undersiders undercover are inspecting the casino, looking for information to prepare for their future hit.
"Lisa, you can look up to the sky." Alec said, touching Lisa's shoulder and pointing to the clouds.
"What do you want, Alec?" Lisa asked, in an irritating tone, the thinker headache seems to be working.
"Maybe I've played too many video games, but I think we're about to be invaded by aliens." Alec stated, pointing to Millennium Falcon crashing towards them.
"Not aliens, but Tinker, it's going to hit Lung's casino!" Lisa stated, in an alarming tone.
"Lisa, is Lung inside the casino?" Brian asked, ready to run away from the impending hell.
" Yes !" Lisa answered aloud.
"Well, let's run away or watch the fight of the century: dragon VS alien." Alec said, deciding whether to run or sell tickets.
Not far away, a tall and thin girl with long curly black hair and glasses is passing by to take her father's lunch, completely unaware of what is to come .
Keep it going...
