heyy! sorry I am a bit late with the update of this chapter, I was on missions for a week ( for those that not know what it is its pretty much helping the community) so yeah...
thanks a LOOOT to loki94 for the support and the critics that really helped me to improve, critics are really welcomed. thanks also to the best that review as well!
the cover of the story was made by made by me using colors 3D, to give a little idea of how brainy and kook look like. I did 2 more drawings, witch I will be posting on my deviant art account when I finish erasing my crappy drawings from when I was 12.
I also improved the fighting scene from the past chapter, I really needed to work on it. I'll be constantly updating chapters as I improve, also with the help of your critics, thanks a lot again for reading!
now with the story
Chapter 4
Brainy began to open his eyes shortly after the fall, his back was a little sore for the fall, but he still was quite impressed that such a fall only hurt his back a little.
He stood up slowly and brushed the dirt away from his clothes, he was covered with leaves and mud.
Looking around, he assumed he was on one of the vast jungles from the planet. Trying to access all the knowledge of this planet he had, since must of the data that he had were now recorded on his organic brain, he came up with some interest things
He was on the planet rox, it was once a planet filled with cities that lived as one with the nature, 10 times bigger than earth. Due to the amazing components must plants here had, roxians were one of the must advanced planets on medicine and science. However, thanks to a strange mutation a plant had the planet became toxic for roxians only. The sickness almost eradicated the entire population, the scavengers decided to take the chance to attack the remaining population and took over the planet's labs and materials to experiment on mutagens. It was Shorty abandoned after one of the experiments went wrong.
It was currently completely abandoned by any intelligent life, but it was filled with weird animals and vegetation.
Brainy tried to fly to have a better look to at least locate himself on the huge planet, but his flight ring wasn't working.
"great, it must have jammed when I fell in here, now what?"
he began to walk forward, for about half an hour, with the surroundings being pretty similar, brainy started to get bored pretty fast.
He let several thoughts cross his mind, like, how did the shock that brainiac send him didn't damage him at all. When he was and android he could have easily conduced the electricity away, but that was because of the wires that conformed his body were electricity conductors. As far as he knew, he didn't have any wires at all anymore.
Rubbing his chin he tried to come up with answers. His anatomy seemed to be pretty different from the other humanoids he had met, maybe organic coluans, witch was only himself, could conduct electricity, pretty similar to lighting lad's body, except he couldn't generate nor control it.
Other thought was how was he going to return, his ship was destroyed, the pieces probably disintegrated or are flouting around in space. There were labs here, if he managed to find one, he could build one and fix his ring.
As he continued to walk he started to enjoy the place, he has been running away since he became human and haven't had time to enjoy the new feelings. The smells, the flowers, the air, all was very enjoyable. He always had the sense of smell, but it barely worked for something. It was used with the purpose to detect smoke and dangerous things like that.
The sight of the place was different as well, the colors were vivid, the ratio of his sight was also bigger than the small magenta rectangle he had before, even if he couldn't zoom in and out and analyze several objects like before, this was still a lot more beautiful.
Night started to fall and brainy decided to stop for the night. Many animals came out of their nests, including mosquito like creatures.
Not standing the itch this darned little creatures made him, he covered himself with mud, the itches seized.
"I had to get lost on a jungle just when I am no longer an android…of corse"
looking around for a place to crash, his eyes cough a large tree, climbing it would be a pain, specially if you never had to use muscles before, since he was an android and could fly. The tree seemed to be the best option, it was tall so he could have a better look of the forest, be out of the reach of dangerous animals and be a bit more comfortable.
He slowly started to climb, one feet after the other, 5 minutes later he reached the perfect altitude, this tree was taller than all around it.
Brainy laid in one of the branches, looking at the sky. It was impressive, it showed how vast the universe was, earth and colu had so many lights and pollution, stars were barely visible in the night sky, however, on this planet, there couldn't be more visible. There were around 2.300 stars , according to brainy's calculations.
As he continued to watch the stars, he couldn't help but notice a feeling of déjà-vu. It seemed like this place was once important for him, maybe even for another brainiac. He recognized the constellations, he knew witch way was north and south, he got the feeling he had to follow the direction the Orion belt was pointing at.
Brainy memorized the stars and surroundings and jumped out of the branch, landing safely thanks to his force belt.
He began to walk east for hours, the vegetation slightly changed, less dense, until there were only a few trees, the climate was slightly colder as well.
It was already morning when brainy found an abandoned city at the horizon. As fast as his tired feet could take him, he ran towards it excited.
Arriving a few minutes later, he was quite impressed, the images he had from this planet's city were incredibly different, it was now grey, covered with ashes and flying papers on the floor. If bouncing boy was here he would probably say this place looked like in those zombie apocalypse on those old movies he watched.
All buildings seemed ready to fall, this had to be abandoned for more than 20 centuries ago, maybe even more.
There was no trace of any metal around the city, however, something caught the eye of the coluan. A lab
Entering the old building, that was completely filled with dust, there were a thousand broken things, must of the materials clearly belonged to the 20 century scavengers. All experimental tubes were shattered, but one seemed to be perfectly conserved.
Cleaning the dust that covered the tube brainy almost had a heart attack. Inside of the tube was a monkey, floating on the water inside of it, connected to several wires, the monkey seemed incredibly familiar.
Of coarse! it was a space monkey, it was a kind of monkey found on planet falk, brainiac stole the information of the planet and then destroyed it, taking one of the monkeys as a pet before he digitalized the planet.
Brainy, curios with the creature, that might actually be the last of his kind, decided to break the glass and free the animal, his weapon on just in case the animal was hostile.
As the glass shattered the monkey fell to the floor. It didn't seem to move at all. Shaking his head, brainy began to walk away, thinking he shouldn't have done that, the monkey had at least 20 centauries in there, it was logical it wouldn't live.
The coluan stopped when he heard some steps behind him, he prepared his weapon, hearing another footstep, brainy jumped toward the direction the sound and aimed, his eyes widened with a screeching sound, suddenly the white monkey jumped toward brainy, and made him fall.
As soon as the monkey touched him, he felt something inside of him, some kind of connection. Sitting down and rubbing his head he looked at the space monkey sitting on his lap.
"how did you did…you are alive?" the monkey nodded. Brainy's jaw dropped
"wait…you understand me? Wait how is that possible, you are a primal animal"
"koko" the monkey stared at his forehead markings.
"what do you mean by vrill? Wait…how can I understand you?"
"kokoko!" the monkey chattered and jumped towards the floor behind brainy, moving his arm indicating brainy to follow.
"what do you want to show me?" brainy stood up and followed deeper into the lab.
His eyes scanned for any interesting object, none seemed to call his attention. Only a few pieces of tech that would help him build his ship did so.
The white monkey continued to guide him until the room reached a dead end. The monkey started to screech.
"what are you trying to show me, who is this vrill?"
the monkey pointed at the ceiling, looking up brainy's eyes widened. The brainiac symbol.
"what is that doing here?"
"koko!" the animal jumped to the table on the left, where an ancient computer stood. Pressing a button the wall started to open in two slowly, it revealed a tube that was empty and broken.
The place was filled with cables, machine parts and broken chips. Whatever was here, its long gone.
"koko" the monkey searched around between the scraps, finding nothing. Then it hopped back to brainy's shoulder.
"was a coluan once in this planet, a brainiac?" he turned his glaze towards the monkey.
"what are you looking for?" the monkey stood silenced.
"well at least I can start building the ship with some of this parts, its going to take long, with this 20 centaury scrap so broken. Might as well start now."
Brainy started to pick several pieces of metal, carrying them to the main room of the lab.
"now, I'll need tools and several cables" the monkey quickly jumped off his shoulder and came back with a screw driver and some cables, handing them to brainy.
"well you are incredibly smart for a primate" the coluan picked the parts and place them on a table.
"maybe I could even consider to take you as a pet as well, what do you think?" the monkey jumped to his shoulder and started to play with his hair
"kook!" the monkey exclaimed, brainy smiled. "might as well give you a name, how does koko sound?"
"koko!" the monkey jumped in happiness, brainy petted the animal.
"I calculate will be staying here for some time, so let's fix this place a bit" brainy petted his new simian friend.
what was the brainiac symbol doing there! perhaps it has something to do with brainy's deja-vu? not even brainy can explain it yet, but one day maybe they will find out why...
I hope you enjoyed, review!
