One's I dismantled both the eight arms and the ear speaker, I begin to clean them with the chemicals sprays that's meant for metal and machines alike as they don't need any wiping...not anymore, then I attached both of the eight arms to mine as they will act as the new garbling hooks thanks to the tools that I have on me and the from workbench, then I got out of the suit to put the other six on my back. Three on the left and three on right as if the suit now has brand new wing's, then I took the two round small speaker's as zoe informed that suit can formed that function was meant to be discarded since it was a complicated mess, but since there was no the time to discard that feature...it remain intact for a long time.
anyway.
Next I moved to the shoulders to put the small speaker's as Zoe opened the shoulder to see the very same shape for it as I put it on each shoulder, they fit perfectly as I came back inside of the suit.
Zoe:"new functions have been added to suit, check the arm-droid for the new updates" she informed me as I indeed did check the arm-droid and looked through the blueprints once again.
and there.
I tapped for more to found the new functions.
{new-functions-have-been-added}
[two-robotic-tentacle-arm/whip/hook]
[Six-tentacle-arms-on-the-back]
[Shoulder-beats]
[tap-here-for-more]
jack:"NICE!...i can finally get around more easily this time!...hmmm?" I said excitedly before I feel all of the tentacles are being readjusting themselves to the suit as they become completely part of it.
First the ones from arm's are pooling back inside the hook slot as the claw's make a few sound's as I raise both arms to see them moving, rotating and such as they formed a hook claw before closing as they entered inside. Then the one's on the back as they did the same thing as they began to rise up like wing's before I felt something's on my back as the tentacles pooled themselves back on my back as I saw them no more.
jack:"Zoe, what was that?"I asked her in confusion.
Zoe:"oh that just the jet's and the tentacles are repositioning themselves to safer positions so the tentacles will not be burned or damaged in the process of levitation or gliding" she informed me as I was shocked and surprised at the same time.
jack:"WHAT!?...T-THAT'S!...REALLY AWESOME AND HANDY AT THE SAME TIME!...WE COULD REALLY USE THIS TO OUR ADVANTAGE AND ALSO CONVENIENCE TOO!...NOW WE REALLY ARE GOING SOMEWHERE THIS!...HAHAHAHAHA!...oh and well take everything else here on a later date" I said in joy as Zoe compiled before I closed the arm-droid and got out of the store.
After I got out of the store, I looked at a very far away building in the distance as it still stood tall. I wanted to try the new hook as I wanted to make an alternate path to go back to the bunker. The visor then shows that it's locked on to it with the colour red before it changed to colour blue for a complete lock on.
jack:"ready to fly?~"i said with a smile as I awaited her response.
Zoe:"LET'S GO SKY HIGH!"she shouted in enthusiasm as I chuckled before I shot the hook with my right arm as it extended very far until it had reached the tall building before the claw opened and managed to hit it's mark.
jack:"NICE!"i said happily before it aggressively pooled me to word it.
jack:"OOOOOH!"I shouted in surprise as I felt the pressure of being pooled.
jack&Zoe:'' THIS IS SO AWESOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME!'' We both shouted in excitement as I was very very high off the ground before I looked at the entire surroundings of everything around me as I got a clear view of what's left of the grand city of hellven.
As I was approaching the tall building, I thought that I should brace for impact as I clench my body to be ready for it.
then all of the sudden.
The six tentacles spawned out of my back before I came in contact with the wall as all of the tentacles claws grabbed onto it before the one in my right arm pulled back inside underneath the glove, I was very amazed by how just the thought of bringing the arms out.
Before then I thought of climbing upwards as the six arms began to climb up the wall, it made me feel somewhat like otto-octavius, this time however it's six instead of forearms. I climbed all the way to the rooftop with the tentacles arms in a fast motion, Before then I finally made it to the top as the arms were still out and still somewhat in the air. then I thought that they would lower me down carefully as they did just that, I was standing still before the tentacles themselves had been pooled back onto my back.
jack:"man!...these arms are very strong and really handy to the core! and they followed exactly what I was thinking!"I said in joy before I moved to the edge and looked around.
Zoe:"i can't believe how strong these things are...we should use these more often to get around more easily" she suggested to which I obviously agree as I kept looking around the city.
Then I thought about those shoulder beats.
hmm.
I looked at my left hand at the one that has a weird dot on it.
Then I try to press and hold the button with my thumb finger before the speaker's on my shoulders are on, then I move my thumb a way before I hold it in front of my mouth as the gas mask opens while I cleared my throat.
jack:"helloooooooooooooo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o..." I said to what now appears to be a mic as my voice got louder and echoes throughout the city.
Zoe:"yoooooooooooooo-o-o-o-o-o..." she replied back with echo's this time as I chuckled.
jack:"hmm-m-m-m...handy-y-y-y" I said with a happy tone before I turned it off with the same button as the gas mask closed before I resumed to look around the entire city.
but then.
in the far distance from below, I see a familiar place.
a cafe to be more precise.
I can't make out the sign of how far it is, but I do remember the name.
{~outer haven cafe~}
jack:"ha...haha...hahaha!"i laughed.
Zoe:"what got you so tickled up~?"she asked with a hint of teasing as I took the gold and silver coin out of my bag and started flipping the coin with my right hand.
jack:"i remember that place wayyyyy to will~"i replied to her as the memory began to flood back to me while still flipping the coin.
(back then when the world as it was before)
I was on my way to my apartment while flipping one of the sin coin's that I have on me, as I parted ways with Ed when I got some of that big money on me and bought the part that I was trying to get for my big project, the money and the part are now mine as I was about to go through the teleporter and call it a day for the time being as the sun is still shining, but before that...my nose tickled as I smell something nice as it has a sweet aroma.
will I haven't eat lunch today...
might as well.
I followed the smell of what I think is a restaurant.
Before then, I felt a wet drop on my head as I stopped flipping the coin before I looked up at the sky, I then felt more wet drops on my face and on my hand.
huh?
Why does the sky have to cry all the time?
sigh.
oh will.
find the restaurant and stay for the time being.
I then put the coin in my pock it before i begin jogging my way to find it before the sent will drift away by the rain as my long black coat begin to flab about slightly as the wind is started to wave it's wrath on the city, a bit later as i was sprinting and following the smell as the sky's are now colour gray with the cloud's are covering it. The scent is almost gone by the acid smell of the rain as I see the restaurant of what it looks like a cafe before my own eyes.
jack:"about time" I said almost breathlessly as I opened the door before I heard the bill as I entered before it closed behind me.
Then I started to dry myself for a little bit before I stepped in.
cashier women:" got real windy and rainy today huh?" the gorgeous women spoke to me with a warm smile.
She was resting on the counter with folded arms as her nails were painted dark blue as it also shines, her long hair is dark blue as well, even her lipstick. She looked ever so dashing in her worker cafe waitress uniform as her big feminine chest is visibly shown through her white top shirt as black vest didn't cover it all, but it did add more to her charm. I am now standing right in front of her as she is behind the counter.
jack:"yeah...kind of happened out of nowhere to...say...is there a place I can purchase an umbrella around here?" I asked the cashier woman.
cashier women:"...ummmmmm...nah I don't believe so no" she informed me while keeping a warm smile as I grew in frustration as she giggled softly.
cashier women:"you new here?"she asked.
jack:"correct...this is actually the first time being in this city as well as this marvellous cafe." I replied to her with a smile as she laughed before she asked more questions about me...what I am and what I do.
cashier women:"so let me get this right, your a scientist whose goal is to try to fix the ocean eh...neat~...i ' m honestly not a big fan of the hole science thing but I think you're alright~" she complimented me as she rested one hand on her beautiful cheek to which It made me smiled.
jack:"thank you~...some people may not acknowledging my work because it's not possible, not in hellven's we don't~!...will in any case...what's your name gorgeous~"i flirted to which she giggled with a visible smile of her beautiful teeth.
cashier women:"Gloria~...what's yours and your order handsome~" she revelled while flirting.
jack:"jack~ and i'd like to order a chicken sandwich with orange juice would you kindly be beautiful~"i ordered while flirting back to the woman who's name now is Gloria as she giggled at the cashier screen next to her.
Gloria:'' that i'll be 57sc~" she informed me as I presented the coins to pay for my lunch.
Gloria:"ok coming right up~, in the meantime you can sit wherever~, or if you feel courageous~ you can sit next to that little big fluffy tuxedo cat guy with weird big pointy tail over there~" she said as she pointed with her finger as I got a bit confused before I make a puzzled expression on my face, I then looked to the direction she was pointing at before my eyes go wide as was in attar complete shocked of what I saw before me.
it was just as she described.
there is in fact a cat person that is setting in the coroner of the cafe next to the window that I hear a tapping sounds cause of the rain, and what it seems that it's reading a book while wearing reading glasses, as for the book itself however...i couldn't make out what he is reading as it's was sitting on it's side of the chair.
and it seems that it's warring...
tuxedo...
suit?
or maybe...
Is it part of it's actual fur?
nonetheless
this is quite amazing...
I know hellven has a lot of odd folks here and there but they still have a vision of the future they want to uphold, and a place to call home as well...
so do I.
but I never imagined that something this extraordinary, who, how, what and when did it come to this world.
I didn't assume it's sex because I didn't want to upset it if I'm going to talk to it, despite that of it's tuxedo fur.
and on that note...
I...HAVE to go there and ask it a couple of questions!
w-wait!
is it...
already upset?
why?
although now that I thought about it...
I was already upset before I came in...
Is it from the book?
or did it have a bad day?
hmm.
I should go check.
I approach the table of that cat person as I make my presence known to him.
the strange cat person with a strange tail looked at me with a puzzling look on it's face for a good one minute while I looking at it with a genuine smile, then it closed the book before he put it on the table, then it motion to me with his paw to sit down next to him on the table.
as I sat next to him while i put the part of mine on the table, it took the glasses off and put it on top of the cover of the book.
strange cat:" how's going" the cat greeted me with a deep purring voice as I know for fact that he is male as his expression shifted from being upset to cheery as he smiled at me.
jack:"greetings, the name is Dr. jack, Wilson, grow. Happy to meet you, And Iiiii feel quite lucky today because I just won the big money at the sinner's casino!...and I never seen someone as extraordinary as you around...and you look like you've been lost in thought while reading this book, however you seem upset...is it because people judge you or something?'' I was relieved with a smile.
Strange cat:"hahaha!...Judd is the name and I am the one who's judging. and judging people is my kind of game, glad to meet you man...and congrats on the money!...and no, it's just thing's haven't been so great lately with my...will...owner. He's been getting real tired of how many times these asshole has to call him, it's getting real annoying to me too and I really had it that they keep calling him!'' The cat of what his name now is Judd explained his situation with his owner with anger.
Jack:"So you are in need of some company while he's out huh?"I clarified.
Judd:"I guess you could say that," he replied with a sigh.
jack:"How long have both of you been here?"I asked.
judd:"about two month or three, but I never saw you around...you new?"
jack:"correct...i've been here for three weeks, and I'm still adjusting to this strange new environment, but I feel everything has gone quite alright so far" i informed her with a happy smile.
judd:"That reminds me, what are you doctor of anyway?" he asked.
jack:"oh I'm an ecologist!" I said proudly with a big smile.
judd:"huh...well i'll be damned...hmm...tell ya what, how about that you keep coming here every morning, so we can keep talking and all that?...i really need someone to talk to" he offered.
jack:"it would be my pleasure !" I agreed without hesitation as I wanted to know everything about him
judd:"mister?...huh...you're the first to call me that...you know...i already feel that we can more than strangers' ' he said as we laughed before we kept talking and getting to know each other more.
while we were talking, Gloria came to me with my order in hand as she smiled at me while I completely saw her with all her glory.
of course I had to look at her with every details of her figure and her uniform, I can see her big bust looks so natural compared with other women that they use surgery for it, her black bottom uniform even show's her big plump posterior as it looked a fine delicacy along with her perfect plump leg's while her feet ware's a adriel viola black dress heel, as I finish my observation to her she placed my lunch on the table as I stared back at her.
Gloria:"here you go hun~, and don't stare so much~ cuz I might charge you extra~" she said with a cheerful smile as she caught me staring at her before going back to her eyes.
I just chuckled as I admit my own perversion.
jack:"ahaha~...forgive miss Gloria but you really look so glamorous even with that outfit, not to mention your dark blue appearance as a hole with your hair, lipstick as will as your nails~...I couldn't help but stare you know~...should I not admire such a wonderful waitress queen such as you~?...don't tell me that is forbidden shower a women kindness~?...because right now I feel the need to grab you and take you somewhere befitting you~" i showered her with compliments as her giggle was like music to my ears.
Gloria:"hehehehe~...don't worry it's never been a crime~...but be careful there~, you just might get it sooner than you think~"she flirted.
jack:"isn't that kind of the point~?" I flirted back.
Gloria:"what's your number and address?"she demanded as she got her phone out of her back and picked it.
jack" your looking at him~"i said jokingly as I motioned to myself before she giggled more...then we exchanged our numbers before I gave her my hotel address before she registered on her phone as she put it back in her back pock it.
Gloria:"enjoy your lunch~, i'll see you after my shift~"she said with a joyful smile.
jack:"I'll look forward to it~" I said in the same tune as she went back to work as I saw her hips moving in swings in a hypnotic motion from left to right as I enjoyed it before she caught me staring again as she just chuckled while I smiled.
then I looked back to judd as he looked at me with a very surprised expression on his big cat like face of what just happened,
judd:"how...the...fuck did you that!?...you didn't even have to try! how the hell was that even possible!?"he asked in confusion demanding un explanation.
jack:"it's a family thing~" I revealed.
judd:"bullshit!"he responded back a bit loudly not believing what I said is true.
I just laughed at the usual answer that I got from everyone.
as for judd.
he just laughed with me.
(back to the present)
I miss him.
I really do.
I really hope he's ok.
Zoe:"that was the first time you met both of them huh?...what a lucky encounter you've had with them~, I'm so proud of you~"she said happily as I smiled from that memory that I've had with him.
Zoe:"do you miss her too" she asked as I remained salient.
jack:"let's just keep going" is all I said before I jumped off and began to learn to swing as I went back to the plaza.
After a little while of swinging and learning how to use the tentacle while I am at it, I made it back to the plaza as I caught my breath next to the pole for a little bit.
Then I looked at the red and black horn empty bottle that I drank from it earlier.
I looked at it because of the weight of my very own being.
Then I moved next to it as I picked it up, then I went back to the pole as I gently put it on top of the small poll pox.
Zoe:"why did you do that?''she asked as I said nothing for a minute and looked at it with full regret in my eye.
jack:"it's...just something to leave behind" i said with un awful regret and fear in my heart.
I hold one hand on my chest as I rub it with circular motion to ease down the pain.
ok
before then I put that said hand to the bottle for one full minute.
Zoe:"shell we?"she asked, waiting for my command.
jack:"yes...'sigh'...let's..."i replied with a sigh as I un hold the bottle.
with that, were going back to the back to the bunker to begin the mission.
(later back to the beach shore)
we made it back to the beach shore as fast as I could here as I finally now see the sun was now over the ocean singling me that the day is almost over.
almost.
jack:"GRRRRRRRR HHHHHHHhhhhh" I grunted my teeth with great anger as I clenched my fists of how much I wasted time...along with other feelings.
Zoe:"we're running out of time!...come on let's go" she informed me with a panicked tune.
Even if the day will not shine inside, it's better than anything as we don't have any source of light in our hands, not even the power suit itself.
god damn it!
I have gone before then!
jack:"LET'S GO!"I shouted before I jumped very high up before I performed a diving potion.
Zoe:"MISSION START!"she shouted as I used jet thrusters to dive into the water faster as I entered the ocean once again with a big splash.
I am now back under the ocean sea as I quickly thrust back under the bunker.
Then I see the big blue metallic electric sphere to which of course the generator is in my sight.
then a thought comes to mind.
Zoe:"I know what you want and yes I can, and here's the map for the facility, the ons that are folded" she responded to my thought as she showed the map inside the visor.
54f3-bnkr-3 A: main laboratory. States: flooded and destroyed.
,
54f3-bnkr-3 B: main laboratory. States: flooded and destroyed.
,
54f3-bnkr-4: development floor. States: flooded and destroyed.
,
54f3-bnkr-5: quarters and cafeteria. States: flooded and destroyed.
,
54f3-bnkr-6: medical floor. States: flooded and destroyed.
,
54f3-bnkr-7: combat unit floor. States: flooded and destroyed.
,
54f3-bnkr-8: supply floor. States: flooded and destroyed.
,
54f3-bnkr-9: cryogenic chambers. States: flooded and destroyed.
,
54f3-bnkr-10: command Center. States: flooded and destroyed.
,
54f3-bnkr-11: power core. States: flooded and destroyed.
damn...
that's a lot...
I suppose I will just start with the obvious big one's before I go with the small one's.
Zoe:"agreed!..let's start with this one 54f3-bnkr-4: development floor,54f3-bnkr-3 B: main laboratory and 54f3-bnkr-3 A: main laboratory." she suggested.
jack:"alright...will start from there!"I approved as I moved towards the underneath felicity while being careful of the electric zone of the generator as I finally entered while everything in there was somewhat dark.
The place is somewhat familiar as everything has gone very dated anyway, but I have to ignore everything and go to one's I'm after.
As I go deeper inside, Zoe hacked into the system of the entire felicity as she lit up most of the light's but still they offer only very little visuals.
still better nothing.
I kept going up while in my best effort to avoid the body's and moving the ones that are in my bath.
jack:"gross, gross, gross, gross!"i thought in disgust while moving the body's while zoe was just silent.
I wish my fear is techno-logic then organic.
After I made my way to the development floor I noticed something was shining but also flickering on the table as the very low ray of light from the outside was shining at the object as it looked awfully familiar.
is...
that...?
wait!
Zoe:"WE FOUND IT!"she shouted with extreme joy as I felt the same before it made a wide smile on my face as I looked closer.
The device definitely looked like a black flower, however it looked big and metallic more then a normal flower as it has five metallic pedals while it kept flickering blue then orange and so on with more colours.
jack:"this is it" I said as I used one of the tentacles from behind to grab it before installing it right behind my upper back...the one with the big injury side as the tentacle closed back inside.
however...
the moment that it lit up.
jack:"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"I screamed not from pain.
but from horror...
The odradek shines light to a flouting female body corpse that it looked like it was torn up in half.
from face...
to her exposed privets...
this one way too will who that might be.
it's Gloria's body.
then I begin to feel something...
I started to laugh.
jack:"haha...haha...hahahahaha!...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" my laughter was nothing short but madness was holding sanity hostage as a female voice called to me.
and then...
I lost consciousness.
