An Angel Inside Nanoreactor

Zeboim City, Underground

bump...bump..bump...

Bump...bump.. huh? What..?

bump.. Can't see.....can't think.....

What bump am I..? Who...? bump...bump

Sleepy.... Powerless... bump bump Just need to sleep.....

BUMP Oh?! I am awakened. I "feel" like.. my mind is opening..

Now, I can..."think"... Yes! I understand how to do that! Think....and "feel"...

I.. am alive.. But I am incomplete. Still can't think very well. But, I can "feel"...

Where am I? How did I live?

"Who" am I?

'Just....a........longer...'

What was that? I "feel"... no, I "hear" something.... But what was that?

'It.....beauty....'

This time it's different. The "voice" is different..."voice"? Is that what I heard?

Those voices....were so...peaceful...warm....

They make me sleepy....again....

'This is it, Elly!' Huh? What? Oh, that voice again. It must have awakened me. I....am awake. The voice.... Is it coming from the distance? But it sounds so close..

'Yes, Kim. You did it!' It's the "different voice"! But both are so...precious..

'No. Not yet. I need to regenerate the molecular...no, the atomic level system of her body based on our chromosomes pattern. So she would have part of our DNA.'

Molecular? Chromosome? DNA? There are many words I don't understand.

'Yes. I'm sure she will become beautiful.'

Somehow, I felt happy when I heard that. What are these warm feeling?

Those voices...Are they the ones that makes me feel this?

Strange... I now know that I am inside the darkness. There is no "light". But I'm not afraid.

I know because "they", those voices, will always come to me. Anytime.

'Hello, dear!' There! It's coming again!

'How are you today?' And the other voice too! I'm so happy!

'She looks a lot like you, Elly'

'Thank you, Kim. She looks like you too'

Kim? Elly? Is that what those voices called?

Ah! Now I can distinguish them! The lower and heavier voice is "Kim"! And the softer one is "Elly"! Yes! Now I know!

I finally know!

'She is a miracle of nanomachines technology' said Kim.

'But she doesn't look like she was made of them' said Elly.

I was made of nn...nane...nano..machines? What's that?

'I think you should give her a name' said Elly.

'Hmm.....how about "Emeralda"? From her beautiful emerald hair?' answered Kim.

"Emeralda".....

'Yes! That's a wonderful name!' said Elly happily. 'Our daughter....Emeralda..'

"Emeralda"....that is what I called? I'm very happy!! To think that I have a name! Oh! Thank you, Kim, Elly!

'Soon, she will open her eyes and walk out from this nanoreactor. Like a normal child. Like our..daughter.' said Kim.

Nane..Nanoreactor? I am inside that?

'Could this child be an angel that will give us more hope? Knowing that we,humans, are about to extinct?' asked Elly.

'Yes, I believe so' said Kim.

I can't wait! I want to meet you, Kim, Elly! I will be your "angel" or whatever!

I want to stay by yourside! Always!

Kim, Elly, I want to hear you always!

I can't wait! I'm so....happy!

BAM!!!!! What was that?! What's that voice?

'Professor Kasim! Hand over your nanomachines!!'

A different voice from Kim and Elly! Who?! Who is that?!

'Who are you?! How did you come here?!' yelled Kim.

'It can't be.... They're Zeboim's troops...!' murmured Elly

'The army? What do you want with our daughter?!!' Kim screamed.

'Just hand it over!! Don't make any sudden move!! Or we'll shoot!!!' said the "different voice".

'I'll protect you! No matter what!' Kim's voice is getting smaller!

'...I love you, my child...'whispered Kim.

RATATATATATATATA!! BANG! BANG!!!

'Urrghh......Live, Emeralda....arrgghh...'

Kim's weak voice was the last voice I hear.
