Chapter 50: Phase One Complete
After exiting the main lab, Aiden walked to the library. "Let's see, who can I get?" Aiden pondered as he entered the library. "Let's see. I want someone who can fight. But who would be a good fit?" Aiden pondered as he searched the archives. "Hmm. Napoleon Bonaparte? No. Too short and stubborn. Ivan the Terrible? Definitely not!" He said as he skimmed over the book. "No. No. No. Definite No!" he continued to say to himself. "Mathis and Romulus, did you get what I asked for the machine?" Aiden asked them coldly as they came in with parts for the machine. "Yes boss" they responded. "Put those in my lab and bring the machine there too. I don't want anyone else touching it" Aiden ordered. Mathis and Romulus nodded and went to do Aiden's bidding. "I still don't see why we have to listen to a kid" Mathis commented to Romulus once they were out of the room. "Just think, as soon as Foxtail's plan is complete, she'll throw him away like last week's garbage" Romulus responded.
While Mathis and Romulus were completing their tasks, Aiden sat down in a nearby chair and rubbed his temples. His eyes then glanced over to one of the many books on the table. "What's this?" he mused as he reached for the book. He picked up the book and he scanned through the pages. An evil smile appeared on his face once he stopped on a certain page. "Hmm. Let's see. Evil, ruthless, violent and looks like he knows of some interesting ways to torture people" Aiden said to himself as he read about the person. "I must tell Foxtail! She'll be so pleased" he said as he grabbed the book and raced out of the library. He arrived at the large doors of the main lab. He took a deep breath and straightened out his hair and outfit before he entered the room. "Ah Foxtail. There you are" he said as he approached Foxtail. "Look at what I found!" Aiden said as he held up the book to Foxtail. "A book?" Foxtail scoffed. Aiden then opened the book to the page and showed her the page. Foxtail took the open book from Aiden and she looked over the page. "He's perfect" Foxtail praised. "Now about the machine" Foxtail said as she and Aiden walked towards the machine. "Ah yes. Well according to my research, we will be able to bring anyone we want from wherever and whenever we want. However, they must be dead and it will require a lot more power. Fortunately for us, we have it locked up in a cell!" Aiden said with a bit of a maniacal laugh. Foxtail raised an eyebrow at him. "With his level of strength, we could possible create our own army!" Aiden added as he thought of how Rad would be used in the machine. "Well then, go get him so we can power up the machine" Foxtail ordered. "Yes Ma'am" Aiden responded happily. He then left the main lab and made his way to his personal lab where Rad and the machine were being kept.
Once at the door of his lab, he paused when he saw his reflection in one of the machines as he walked inside his part of the lab. Aiden then took one long look in the reflection on the machine and sighed as he remembered who he was before being recruited by Foxtail.
"I admit that in the past I was a weakling
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a nerd
But I find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
Reflected, saw the light, and made a switch
True, yes" Aiden sang as he walks out of his room)
"And I fortunately know a little magic
It's a talent that I always have possessed
And here lately, with this staff" Aiden sang as he held up the staff that Foxtail gave him.
"I'll use it on behalf
To cause misery, agony, and anguish!" He continued to sing. "Pathetic" he said as he saw Rad trying to escape from the chains that were attached to the back wall. Aiden pulled out his freeze ray gun and he zapped Rad.
"Poor unfortunate soul!
In pain, indeed.
You are longing to be free
And when I get your girl
Will I kill you?
Yes, indeed " He sang as he went up to Rad and pointed staff at him while Mathis and Romulus attached kinds of wires to Rad.
You poor unfortunate soul
So sad, so true
She'll come flocking into my arms
Crying, "Take me, Aiden, please!"
Will I take her
Yes indeed
Now my heart can no longer strain
For I just can't take the pain
And I'm afraid I'll be rejected once again" Aiden sang as he grasped his chest.
"Yes I know you will complain
Cause it's your girl I will obtain
You poor unfortunate soul
You have your looks, your pretty face
And don't forget about all of your bulging muscles, ha!
The gals up there don't like a lot of chatter
They think a man who gloats is a bore
Yet with them it's much preferred for men to be mature
And after all man, what are trivial facts for?
Come on, they're not all that impressed with your interests
All women avoid it when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a man who's got brawn
It's he who gets in shape who gets the girl
Come on you poor unfortunate soul
Go ahead
Make your choice
I'm a very busy person and I haven't got all day
It won't cost much
Just your girl!
You poor unfortunate soul
It's sad but true
If you wish to escape and be free then
You've got the pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath
And go ahead and tell me bro
Maithis, Romulus, now I'll get her, boys
The boss is on a roll
This poor unfortunate soul" Aiden sang. He then opened the spell book and he cleared his throat.
"Alluva sevrua
Come lightning from the winds and the seas
Zha Vendu Xaishi Ne
The woman that I love
Will belong to me!" he sang as he raised the staff into the air.
"Now, appear" he commanded and the machine began to flash violently
"Keep going!" he commanded louder as lightning appeared out of the machine. While he was laughing manically, Foxtail then entered the room with out him noticing. Suddenly, the machine stopped. Aiden and Foxtail watched as a person's figure appeared. Foxtail and Aiden looked at each other with smiles of triumph. Foxtail pat Aiden head and she spoke.
"Onto the next stage"
