Chapter 2
"Project PE? As in Project Gym Class?" Marco asked, everyone giggled a bit, except for Eva, "You've got to be kidding."
"Not Project Physical Education, Marco. Project Parasite Eve."
"Parasite Eve? What does that have to do with Mom?"
"Because Project Parasite Eve was MY project, NOT his." Eva growled, angered by the fact that that idiot was taking credit for Edriss' project.
"You created it?"
"When I was Visser One, she came up with the ultimate weapon. With senses that were ten times more powerful than any other humans. And an extreme amount of psychic strength, the being could kill you just by thinking about it."
"What kind of psychic abilities does it have?" Jake questioned. He didn't like where this was going.
"She has pyrokinesis, hydrokinesis, electrokinesis, terrakinesis, and telekinesis." She counted them off on her fingers like Rachel does when she lists the stores in the mall, "Plus, according to simulated tests, an immense amount of intelligence."
"In ENGLISH, Mom. Not all of us are scientific geniuses like you and Ax."
*So this thing can control fire, water, electricity, and I'm guessing, the earth, move things with its mind and is supposedly incredibly intelligent?* Ax asked, focusing all four eyes on Eva.
Rachel wrapped her arms around her knees, "She doesn't sound that tough."
"Rachel, she could kill you in thousands of different ways. You wouldn't stand a chance."
"I don't see how she can be called 'Parasite Eve' when she has no parasitic qualities." Cassie said, it was the first thing she'd said the entire conversation.
"You see, another one of her abilities is the power to latch on to someone's mind and drain their minds of everything."
"What do you mean by 'everything', Eva?"
"Your memories, your knowledge, and your life. Once you've been drained, you die."
Everyone paled, this thing was powerful. "We have to stop them. We have to stop the creation of this thing." Rachel said.
"According to the progress reports, she's ninety percent complete, and she will be activated by eleven p.m. tomorrow."
"We don't have much time, do we?" Marco asked, it wasn't really directed at anybody.
"Nope." Eva said.
"We're pretty much screwed." Marco sighed.
"Yep." Eva nodded.
"We're doomed."
"Not yet. We can still stop it." Jake said, startling everyone.
"Oh?" Marco said, "And you have a plan?"
"Yes. As a matter of fact I do, a brilliant one. Come here."
