Chapter 6: Koar's Private Research
"Oohhhhhh..."
Tygra's moans of pain echoed through the medical bay. Cheetara sat by his bed as Koar prepared another solution for his arm, The others watched in hopeful silence. "Just five more hours still sunrise, Your doing great." Koar said before turning to Pop-Fizz. "Hand me a chunk of Flash-zinc. Pop-Fizz." Pop-Fizz handed him a white crystal chunk, Koar then took it before summoning a cheese grater with magic. He then scraped off a bit over the alchemy bowl as it boil over the burner. "Now we just need a pinch of twilight thistle extract- What the?!" Koar exclaimed when he notice the bottle that held the extract was empty. "What happened to all my Twilight Extract?"
He then heard Pop-Fizz let out a loud belch. All eyes were then trained on him. "So...I have a thing with Twilight extract, Wild Stuff!" Pop-Fizz said hiccuping.
"Great..." Koar growled. "Now I have to go to my Life Workshop to fetch some more."
"Life Workshop?" Panthro said wanting to know more.
"In my private studies, I have ten different laboratories dedicated in studying the elements. It's just so happens that I was growing a Twilight Thistle Tree as a resource in case something like this happened." Koar explained.
"Great, I'll just run off and grab some." Lion-o said as he was about to leave.
"NO!" Koar yelled, stopping the lion in his tracks. "I have a very, very advance security system in place design to keep both Villains AND the Ancient Spirits of Evil out!"
"Don't worry, I'll used the Sword of Omens to fight off anything in my way." Lion-o said, that just horrified Koar.
"And let you slice apart my research in the process?! NO MUDDING WAY!" Koar yelled at him. "And besides if you force your way through, my Security will initiate the last resort and destroy the room you're trying the access."
"What!? Why?" Lion-o exclaimed.
"Hey, Some of The stuff I've locked away in those rooms is pretty sensitive and dangerous, I couldn't risk my studies being used for evil." Koar said sighing. "I'll go myself. Cheetara, I could use your speed in collecting the extract." Cheetara nodded before getting up. "Everyone else, Stay here and try to keep Tygra stable."
Everyone nodded before Koar and the Cleric walked off. "Hurry..." Tygra said weakly.
"I'm coming with you." Panthro said to the two before they left the room.
"Ah, Okay then." Koar said showing a crooked eyebrow, but then smiled. "More the merrier I guess." The three then began the walk to Koar's study through the darken halls.
Koar pushed the doors opened, and Cheetara didn't show it, but was instantly excited at the sight before her, in the room was Koar's personal collection of elemental research. Everything he collected over the years spent as a Portal Master.
"My private workshops should be over at the end." Koar said leading the two past the shelves of books, they eventually arrived at a roundabout of doors. Excluding the way they came in, there were ten large, omega locked doors, each with an elemental symbols. "I don't usually bring guests to my one of my secret laboratories. The experiments I'm performing in one of them is very, very sensitive material." Koar then approached the center terminal before looking back at two. "You might see me in a new, not so great, light."
"Just opened the door already, your giving me the willies just by saying Experiments." Panthro asked before Koar began typing in the terminal. Cheetara then notice one of the doors was closed off with heavy chains.
"Koar, why is that door over there chained shut?" Cheetara asked. Koar frowned.
"That where I once performed Dark Elemental based Experiments, But I had to shut it down due to ethical reasons." Koar answered. "Stay too long in the Dark and that stuff WILL change you...I mean...Just look at Mumm-ra!" Koar shuddered at the thought of becoming just like the Everliving. "So I'm shutting down that section of my lab until I make a leap with my Light based research."
"Makes sense." Panthro said looking at the locked door. "Although, It's not like your growing a person in there..."
"Funny you should mention that..." Koar said darkly, which caused Panthro to shiver a little. "I joke, Joking." He passed off as he finished typing, causing the door with the life symbol to open up. "Welcome Master Koar and Guests." Automated voice sounded out. Suddenly, the platform the three were standing on started to move, carrying the three through the door as it closed behind them, After the ride ended. The trio was now in a greenhouse like setting as they saw plants the size of buildings now surrounding them.
"Woah." Cheetara said looking at the the giant plants. "How did you manage to get these plants to grow to these heights?"
"Oh, I just created hyper-light panels that generated fast accelerating beams of artificial sunlight. Which overclocked the plant's ability to photosynthesized, which augmented their growth." Koar explained quickly. "No biggie."
Panthro then felt something grip his ankle, looking down, he saw a plant-like creature with a rose head looking up at him, wrapping it's leaves around his ankles.
"Oh, watch out for the Embrace Roses." Koar seeing Panthro as he tried to push the plant off of him. "They become emotionally attached to whoever they grab onto." Panthro then managed to pull the plant off of him and getting away, The rose just sat there with it's beady eyes trained on Panthro as it let out a sadden coo.
