Where was he taking him? What was this Netopia? Where was this Scilab thing? Since he was dead, he'd have to wait, since all would become clear to him shortly. Soon enough, the truck stopped. Dr. Opelle opened up the back of the truck pulled out the vial containing Shade's body.
"Now to get inside." Dr. Opelle said. Looks like Scilab wouldn't be much of a mystery soon, he was going inside. Dr. Opelle walked down a long hallway into a reception room. The lady there greeted him politely.
"Good morning, Dr. Opelle." She said. "You are aware that it's 1 AM, right?"
"Yes, more than enough time to do the experiment. Dr. Opelle said. Experiment? What was he gonna do with Shade's body? Did he even know what HALF of the machines in the room they were in do? Dr. Opelle walked over to a small bat-sized chair on a table. He opened up the lid pulled Shade out with tweezers. He then looked at him with a smile.
"Bat, fate has weaved an interesting web for you." Dr. Opelle said. Really? What was this man gonna do? He sounded friendly enough, but it was probably a ruse to hide his true intentions. After what humans did to him back in Goth's jungle involving the exploding discs, he hadn't trusted them since. Dr. Opelle placed the bat in the chair the tube of glass sealed around his body. Dr. Opelle then went over to a computer typed in a code.
"Okay, phase 1 complete." Dr. Opelle said. "Moving on to phase 2." Phase 2? How many phases are there in this thing? What was the human gonna do to Shade? If Shade were alive, he'd ask the human, but he can't speak the language that the humans do. Dr. Opelle walked over to a monitor next to Shade's chair where 3 beings, an orange being, a red being, a pink being, were. The beings looked exactly like the being that took Shade.
"You guys ready?" Dr. Opelle asked them.
"Yes, Doc." The red being said.
"We eagerly await the bat." The pink net navi said. Await the bat? Could they mean Shade? It had to be, he was the only bat there.
"Good." Dr. Opelle said, he typed a long code on the keyboard below the monitor. "Opening teeeeeeaaaaaaarrrrrr." Dr. Opelle pressed a button on the keyboard. "Now." A door below Shade's feet opened. If he were alive, Shade would try to escape, but he was dead, so all he could do was let the door have a blue portal open below him. A red hand then reached through the portal grabbed Shade's foot.
"I got him." A voice said. The hand then tugged Shade's foot pulled him into the portal. Shade would fight it, but it was not gonna happen now that he was dead. The 3 beings picked up Shade carried his body over to a table, they set his body down on it surrounded him.
"Bringing his body through that tear already turned it into data." The red net navi said. "Net navis, we can rebuild him. We have the technology to recreate this bat into a new powerful net navi, better than he was before." Better than he was before? Were they going to change Shade in some way? Make him this "net navi" thing they said? Already they dispersed from the table go off, leaving Shade's corpse there. "Okay, we'll need these to reshape his body." The red net navi said. Reshape Shade's body? Why would he do that? Wasn't Shade fine just the way he was now? The red net navi pulled out knives, poles, etc walked over to the table. The orange net navi came over with a pair of electrode spikes.
"We'll need these to generate a pulse." He said. Pulse? What's a pulse? Well, Shade was not alive to ask, so they wouldn't say a thing. The pink net navi walked up to them with an IV unit.
"We can use this IV unit to see if his pulse stays after we generate it." He said, patting the device on the side.
"Well, let's get to work." The red net navi said. The net navis hunched over Shade started working. Dr. Opelle closed the tear smiled.
"There, he'll be done in an hour." He said.
Back in Tree Haven, Griffin another female bat his age started feeling strange. Apparently, what they didn't know, was that Shade's life was fleeing them, because of what was happening to his body. However, Shade's life was not afraid of that. He left imprints of his life inside the 2. Immediately his life was torn from the 2 young bats rocketed off towards Netopia.
"Woah!" Shade shouted, rocketing towards Netopia. "Where am I going?" Shade could see Netopia in the distance realization hit him. "Hey, that's the city I met Zephyr in." He said.
