Blue's POV
"You guys doing alright?" I yelled to the back. "We are fine!" I heard one of the girls say. I heard Zac running towards me. When he finally caught up he said "Of course they are fine, they have Pixel to give them company! And that's a big load of my back Lilith has been always on my case". I chuckled and took a big step over a rock. I turned around and I could see the big mountains in the far back. I turned to the west. It's a large plains forest and more further is the desert. I remember in my early years I used to roam all sorts of bioames, learning new skills and how to survive and such.
Zac, Archer, and I sometimes go. I would collect samples of plants, Archer would hunt, and Zac would build makeshift houses for us to camp in for the night. "We are getting close! Not to long now!" I yelled. "Don't have to keep yelling we are already caught up to you." I heard Cupa said. This has been our second and last day traveling. We have been talking and playing little games along the way.
"Hey we made it!" I said with exhaustion. I walked over to the iron door and everyone else followed. I knocked on the door several times in a pattern that me and Dr. Mota made up in like a few seconds. I heard the gears of locks crank, latches activated, and clicks of other mechanisms. The door swung open revealing my old friend. He was wearing his usual attire, white lab coat, with his yellow gloves with his black boots. Dr. Mota is an old man, his hiar is white and going partially bald I noticed. "Ah isn't it my former and greatest student! Hello Mr. Blue! How are you?" Dr. Mota said shaking my hand. "Hello again Dr. Mota and lately my research has been going great as well as my life" I said happily. "Doctor, you remember my friends Zac and Archer" I said stepping aside to show him. "Ah yes! Hello boys, glad to see you" Doctor said while walking towards them shaking his their hands. "Greetings Doctor", "Whats Up, Doc" They both greeted.
"And who are these lovely people?" Doc asked. I pointed at each one when I said their names. "Thats Andr, Lilith, Sara, and Cupa"
"Pleasure to meet thee" Dr. Mota then welcomed us in but when Pixel walked through the door..."Ah you must be the one Blue said to check up on" Pixel held out his hand for a hand shake "It would seem so Doctor, My name is Pixel as you may know" Dr. Mota shook his hand slowly. he squinted his eyes and gave a long look at Pixels pupils. Everyone sat on the couches and took out the food out of the bags and started to eat cooked chicken, Steak, and Porkchops with rice and soda. Also some shots of beer. I sat on a chair and watched Dr. Mota and Pixel. Cupa was touching the machines and Dr. Mota was constantly telling her to stop. Dr. Mota then stopped me for a quick second and handed me this dark grey handle thing. "Nano Sabre, late Christmas present" he said and walked away. Heh, new weapon. Wonderful.
Dr. Mota got a DNA sample and turned on big metal box looking machine. Its mechanical whir and electronic humming started up. Since he was an old man living in the middle of nowhere I can see why he did not have the newer model machines. The big box is a capillary sequencer, but now he those are much smaller. He placed in the DNA sample and the machine started to work its 'magic'. It started chain-terminating dideoxenucleotides and turned it into vitro DNA replications. I could hear Dr. Mota whisper to himself "Ok now thats done now I gotta..." Everyone was watching him do all these things. I would explain the others what her is doing in full detail but it would take me hours and I would have to put it in why where they would understand.
After a brief half hour, Doc was finally done. One of the machines started to print out the codes. As the paper kept on coming out of the socket, kept on analyzing and murmuring to himself. 'Okay...Alright... Oka-" He stopped talking. It looked like he was shocked, surprised even. If he is surprised, which is not on occasion, It should be a big deal. "It cant be..." He said to himself. "Dr. Mota, are you alright?" I asked walking towards him. My question made the others come out of the other room. Dr. Mota rushed to his numerous piles of books and papers scattered across a certain section of the floor. He searched furiously until when he finally reached what he was looking for. He grabbed a medium sized book that was all the way at the bottom with many other old books on top of it. He lifted it up with a grunt of effort and walked over to one of his lab tables and placed it down. He carefully opened the book and skimmed through, flipping the frail pages. He finally reached one page "Aha!" He yelled out as he suddenly ripped the page straight out of the book. I was shocked at what he did. "Doc! What are yo-".
"Shh!" He said cutting me off. He walked over to the printed out code with the ripped old page in hand. I went over to the old book and red the title on the spine. "Holy Legends: Fake or Reality" I read to myself. What on Earth does he need this for? Dr. Mota was looking at the code then back at the page, back and forth, back and forth again. "Amazing! The tale is true!" He yelled out. "Tale? What are you talking about Doc?" Zac said running up to us along with the others as also Pixel. The doctor then walked over to Pixel and put on hand on on of Pixel's shoulders and looked back at us. "He's Aetherian"
45 Minutes later
"So I have what again?" Pixel asked. Doc was still reading more in the two books he pulled out of his pile. "So far it says you have a higher average amount of physical strength, as well as elemental strength. You can also wield a certain type of power that only Aetherians can use. Its called Luminescence energy or Lumine for short, this power can make you fly and do all sorts of abilities." Doc replied. "I still cant wrap my mind around this." Archer said. "Yeah I only thought Aetherians were just another fairy tale " Sara said. I too was astonished by this. As a man of science I did not believe myths, legends, and fairy tales but seeing this makes me want to go back to my library and read those types of books. "Hold on didn't it say he is also part human?" I asked the doctor. "According to these results yes. Which brings me to this this next subject. If he is part Aetherian and part Human. If my mythology is correct he is the last Aetherian human hybrid alive." I cant believe it, Pixel is the last of his kind.
Pixel's POV
I sat down and placed my head upon my two palms. "You ok?" Zac asked. "Oh, y-yeah Im fine. Its just alot to take in" I got up and went back to the docter. "Is there anything about me that I dont know". I asked Dr. Mota. "umm...ah yes. Aether human hybrids have strong elemental powers to, in fact they can use all types of elements. Though they chose not to because they swore to an oath to not use it so they wont effect the world(s) environment. They are slightly greater than most types of hybrids. Huh and I thought Blue was the greatest type of hybrid..."
"What?" I asked being in shock. Blue crossed his arms and frowned at Dr. Mota. "What? Didn't you tell them that the three of you are hybrids?" Doc said looking at Zac and Archer. "Wait your race is hybrid?" Lilith said. Blue sighed, "Yes, We were going to tell you guys soon but due to other races being racist to hybrids and even hunt them down and bring them in to be executed: we didn't know if you guys would like or even trust us anymore." The guys looked sad and depressed as they look down to the floor in shame and the girls we shocked and looking at each other. Then all of a sudden they started smiling. "Why didn't you guys tell us sooner?!" Sara said chuckling. "I-I dont- wha-why are you laughing and smiling?" Zac asked. "Because, were hybrids too!" Andr said with excitement. Well this is a change in events.
"Oh my Notch im so relieved!" Sara said. "Wow! Small world isn't it?" Blue said. Soon after everyone started to talk among themselves again. Saying like "So thats why you always moving places" and 'Thats why you living in the middle of no where". Me and Doc just discussed more about the real matter at hand. We talked about the Aetherians and their cities high and far into the galaxy. We dug into the history of them about their greatest triumphs, machines that has immense power that could alter reality that can even cheat death.
Few moments later everyone met in the living room and relaxed. "Does Aether hybrids the only tybe of hybrid that has special powers?" I asked. I leaned on a wall and sipped on some water. "No, all hybrid types have unique powers. Allow me to explain..." Doc thrn walked over to his desk and opened up a drawer, taking out a piece of paper with lists of abilities and races. Everyone gathered around and listened to his lecture.
Ender-Human Hybrids" Lets start with the Ender-human hybrid shall we? The males have the ability to have excessive memory storage and able to take in information with ease which enables them to be very intelligent. Also they are immune to water damage. Females give off those purple particles that normal enderman makes and teleportation but only to places they have been before They can also teleport individuals with them too if they are holding his or her hand, but only a few. Care to show an example dear?" Andr then gave off a releasing sigh and all of a sudden purple particles started to appear near and orbit around her. Shortly after she vanished leaving just her particles that soon disappeared. She reappeared right behind Dr. Mota and tapped him on the shoulder. "Ah! Marvelous!" Doc said
Arthropod Hybrids"Now for Arthropod Hybrids, Males have a higher average speed and acceleration for physical movements. Females have the ability to stick to solid surfaces like a spider. Lilith, these walls should suffice." Lilith then started walking to a wall and when she got close to it she placed one foot on the face of the wall and soon the other foot. She continued walking on the white wall all the way to the sealing. She stood there and looked around. Everyone awed in amazement. She did a half flip off the roof and ended up back on the floor in the middle on the group. "Impressive" Doc complimented.
Bone and Creeper Hybrids "Bone Hybrids or also known as skelehumans, are quite unique too. Males and females are both skilled in stealth when they are first born. Both genders are extremely flexible and are also double jointed. As for the Creeper hybrids, they are quite rare. Their traits are sociable, friendly (most of the time), but if they reach the point of being incredibly angered they will trigger and explosion that at times cannot be controlled. Though the explosion wont cause any harm to the creeper hybrid, only would obliterate any clothing on him or her and any material that is not blast resistant. I dont think we need an example of that."
Aetherian Hybrids "Lets review this hybrid. This type of hybrid are even faster than Arthropod hybrids, have a higher amount of physical strength which can be controlled, can fly, and have the ability to use Luminescence energy powers. With Lumine powers to can shoot energy blasts out of your hands of any swift motion. You can also generate more inside your body causing yourself to glow but to also have more power in your energy. Why dont we go outside and test it out." Doc said.
Damn, I dont know that I could do any of those things. But more importantly I don't know how. "Wait, Doctor. Like I told you over the communicator, Pixel forgot almost everything when he crashed here" Blue said. 'Oh...right, Dont worry! I have instructions here on this sheet lets try to unlock those abilities shall we?" We all walked out the door and took a stroll over to a large plain with a few trees. "Right now Pixel, concentrate on generating power in yourself like your trying to make your body tense and right when you feel that sort of energy try to channel it out towards your hands and release it. Aim towards the tree." I took a few paces forward until I was about fifteen meters away from the tree. I flowed what the doctor said. I took a deep in a deep breath and closed my eyes. After a few moments of trying I felt something. Something that felt familiar but different, like I never felt it in a long time. The feeling grew and grew first I could feel it in my chest area but it soon spread to my other body parts. I could here gasps and "oooh"s from every one. The feeling grew to the point where it was pulsing in me. I opened my eyes and I looked at myself. I was glowing! I was glowing a light blue color and my skin was very light. Then I remembered what said about channeling it through out my arms and out of my hands or fists. I extended my arm out and used my other arm and held the middle of my other arm. With an exhale I released some of the energy.
I could see and oval like shape of light blue fly forward at amazing speed and impacted the tree. And a mediocre blast emitted. After the blast faded away the whole tree was burnt, the leaves were gone. Soon the tree literally fell apart as it crackled and fell. My glow started to fade away, and that weird feeling suddenly dispersed. "Holy shit! That was awesome!" Zac yelled. "Damn man, that was sick." Lilith said. Everyone walked towards me but exhaustion came. My energy that I have left in my normal body felt it has been drained. I collapsed on the floor still having conscience. Everyone's walking turned int o running. "Pixel! Are you okay?" Blue asked. "Whew, yeah man im fine just felt that my body just been drained from its energy" I replied. I slowly got up and regained focus.
"Most impressive Pixel! Though I do suggest that you practice this power and learn how to master it. Who knows you might find more abilities that this energy can do" said." Right, Thanks Doc" I replied. "Ohoho! I should be thanking you to come to have the time to come here! This changes my thought about mythology and legends to a whole new meaning! Now lets go back to the lab." As we started to walk back everyone was doing their abilities now that they dont have to keep it a secret. Though i asked Andr why isn't she letting out purple particles. "Eh it feels weird and sometimes those damn things get into my eye and hurts like a bitch" Andr replied. Lilith and Zac was climbing on trees on the way. But Lilith could just simply walk on the main trunk all the way up to the top but for Zac he had to climb but due to his speed, it wasn't a problem to him. As we were getting close to the lab we all heard an unusual voice, a deep and husky one. Obviously it was a guy. "Hold it right there! Give us any jewelry, gold, or anything worth sellin'!". I heard Cupa whisper to everyone "Bandits" she said. "Hey! I said hand us valuables now!" the Bandit yelled "Or else you'll face the wrath of a Bandit Captain you worms!" He yelled again. He whistled and three other men can and stood by him. "Oh I think we aren't the ones getting a beating today" Blue said while talking out a splash potion and tossing it back and forth between his hands. "Down with a little rumble eh Pixel" Zac said coming and standing beside me, then Blue as well. "Andr take the others back to the lab we'll be fine. We have to take out the trash" Archer said taking out his bow and loading in an arrow then standing next to Zac. I heard Andr teleport away with the others.
Blue whipped out a grey object and pressed a button. Then a neon cobalt color shot out of the grey object then formed into a sword blade from the grey handle. He noticed us looking at him, "Nano Blade he said. Archer then clicked his flint and steel on his arrow which lit it up in a blaze. and stood ready. Zac unsheathed his two iron daggers and held both of them with the edge out. And finally I felt a pulse of Lumine in me which gave me that "higher average physical strength" with that I punched my palm in my hand creating a gust of wind the flowed from me in a wave, and then cracked my knuckles. "The Captains' mine" I said. The bandits took out their weapons of choice. It was a dagger against dagger, Sword against sword, range against range, and brute against me. "Lets do this"
Author's Note: Yeah this Chapter is longer than the others, but its because I had to explain the race and those types and abilities and such. Also another thing, since there are mob talkers in this I want you to visualize everything like an anime not cubed. Thanks for reading. -Porkchops456
