Chapter 36: Preparing as HCUs (Part 1)
"Alright. This is the place I was talking about." Lunia said.
"Woah…" Me and Blue said as we took a look around at the place Lunia was mentioning.
"What is this place?" Blue said as she looked around this huge building.
"This is the elemental room. Here, you'll get the chance to study the element of your choice. So for example, If you want to learn about fire, then fire will be your temporary element. In other words, you will have the ability to use fire." Lunia explained.
"Oh… I get it now!" I said. "I should remember this. I was studying elements in the books I read so I think I get the whole gist of it now."
"Wait, you know elements, Kaze?" Blue asked.
"Yes. All my life I remember every element. So remember the dark magic I showed you? It was because I was learning dark magic back at Primp Town."
"Wait so… are those five elements what you can learn and have the ability to use? Sorry I'm just trying to get this sorted out. Because if this is really realistic, then I'm really shocked." Blue said.
"Correct. Fire, Water, Wood, Light and Dark." Lunia said.
"Oh my god." Blue said, still in shock.
"You seem surprised, Blue. Are you ok?" I asked her.
"No no, this is cool. It's just… I never thought this would happen. I get the ability to create magic through one of these elements. But, how does it work though?"
"Well… first things first… since you two are new to this… to be honest, Kaze… I know this is going to sound unpleasant… but I'm gonna have to dump all the dark magic you use." Lunia said.
"W-W… What do you mean "Dump all the dark magic I use"?" I asked, a little worried.
"Because these elemental tubes won't give you the ability to use better magic although you have magic to yourself. I was wondering if you can test the tube out but since you have dark magic, I need to erase all of it so that you can experience what it's like. Is that ok?"
"Yes it is, but… erase all of it? I really need it though. W-Wait…
…
…
…
…
Oh yeah." I said after thinking about something deep.
"What is it, Kaze?" Lunia asked.
"I want to ask you ladies… Do you girls see me as a villain?"
"What? That's not true. What makes you say that?" Blue said.
"It's just… whenever I think of these powers, I just strongly think of death arising with the powers I'm using. And now I'm starting to think to myself day after day that I'm about to start looking like an evil 16 year old."
"But… Kaze, I don't see you as an evil person though." Lunia said.
"Yeah." Blue said.
"I know that… but I'm still thinking about what I did to Satan and Ecolo that caused them to force a rematch on me. All because of what they called me and made me trigger this… crazy aura where I was yelling and going crazy fast with the puyos I was using."
"Crazy aura?" Blue asked.
"To be honest… that crazy aura made me feel uncomfortable. So that's why I was thinking to myself that having dark magic makes me look like a villain. And I didn't even know back at Primp Magic School what I was gonna use because I had a strong feeling I could create natural disasters in the United Kingdom so when I told Ms. Accord what I wanted to try out… I was given the ability to use it right off the bat. But it was not from Ms. Accord. It was something inside me that caused me to get these powers including that crazy aura in which I didn't expect in the first place. I don't know how I would feel if this were to happen to my mom."
…
"I see… in fact… I'm gonna break the silence here on what made you the way you are." Lunia said.
"Lunia? You know something?" I asked.
…
…
…
…
…
"It was me."
…
"W-W… What?"
"Lunia… you mean… you did this to Kaze? You gave her the magic that she wanted?" Blue asked.
"She sparked my interest because I never realized that a girl whose dream was to study magic, actually went to a new dimension to find a way to have the ability to use magic. So… when she told Ms. Accord what powers she wanted to try out… right off the bat, I transferred the dark magic from this room, to Primp Town and into her body. But she didn't notice the aura she had into her body before she was going to battle Ms. Accord. So, Kaze… I gave you the powers that you wanted, but I don't know the cause for triggering that malevolent side of yours."
"Lunia…" I didn't know what to say about this. What Lunia did made me speechless… no scratch that. It was a somewhat of a twist of events right there. Mainly because Mom allowed me to enter Primp Town to study magic (although the odds for me getting magic otherwise) and Lunia followed through. Although I wanted to do this all by myself.
"You didn't have to do this to me in the first place… but you have my warmest thanks for this." I said with a confident smile.
"Wait, aren't you upset with this?" Lunia asked.
"No. Even though I don't want to be a martial artist like Raffina…" As I released my dark magic, I continued my statement "...I still felt really comfortable beating bad guys up with the magic I have. Having this current element while playing Puyo Puyo made me a stronger girl than I was before. Although Rulue almost made me prove otherwise by just… unnecessarily choking me. But other than that, I appreciate how you did this to me."
"Kaze…"
"Wait… this Rulue person… was unnecessarily choking you?" Blue asked, looking confused.
"Yes. She was brainwashed by Satan and Ecolo, and started to put me on the verge of unconsciousness. We were fighting for that red stone in the middle of the night." I said.
"Wow… that seems bad."
"I agree. It is bad."
"So… Do you wish to dump your powers?" Lunia asked me.
…
…
"Is there an option to change magic?" I asked after thinking about it.
"Well you have to dump your magic first before deciding your second choice." Lunia said.
"So when you say dumping, you mean erasing all of the magic that you store in your body?" Blue asked.
"That's right, Blue. Although you have nothing stored in your body, I think you might be ready to test out any element of your choice."
"But… Blue, what are you going to study?" I asked Blue.
…
"To me… that's actually a hard decision…
…
…
…
Or…
…
Since I'm wearing the color blue right now. My hair is light-blue and my name is Blue…"
"Yes... I would best recommend the water element, but it's your decision." Lunia said.
"Yeah… it kinda is the best recommendation since I'm known for being cold."
"I know. It is tough to decide." I said while looking at Blue for a couple of seconds.
"No no, I know what I'm about to decide. I'm just picturing what my powers would look like. I'm known as the color that I am. So I 100 percent should try out the water element."
"Good point."
"But uh… to be honest, I'm a little nervous to try this out. Do I have to be in this elemental tube to receive my powers? Because I don't know what's gonna happen to me afterwards." Blue asked, looking worried.
"Correct unfortunately." Lunia said. "You'll start to feel tired and sleepy after the tube analyses you and asks you if it's the element that you wish to use. And it you'll feel an aura inside your body which signals your body. Oh yeah and after you get your magic, the next part gets even better after you wake up. I can't actually tell you. It's a secret."
"Ok… do you wanna do it together?" I asked Blue. "Well… I have to get my magic removed. *sigh* I'm gonna miss having dark magic." I said in a sad tone.
"Did you have fun with it, Kaze?" Lunia asked.
"Yes. I'm gonna remember this magic forever. Wait.
…
…
…
Oh… I just realized something!" I said after something just popped into my brain.
"What? What is it?" Blue asked, looking eager to hear what I have to say.
"So you do know that I have dark magic, right? When it comes to nighttime, I think of darkness… and the moon always appears at night. I noticed that I loved to watch the moon since it's just so beautiful on my end. So what if… I have the ability to use dark magic but this time, I want to study lunar magic."
"Wha… Kaze? Y-You want to study lunar magic?" Lunia asked, looking shocked.
"I kinda forgot about this all along. I never studied this before since I was studying the first five elements but I know tiny bits of it so… I guess it may make things more interesting."
"Yes but are you sure you want to do that? It seems like a hard element to try out. And it's also similar to the dark element."
"Don't worry. I can handle the dark element. It'll be the moon element that I want to work on."
…
"Alright… I'm glad you'll be working with lunar magic just like me." Lunia said with a smile.
"Yeah. I guess it definitely fits you the way I look at you. You kinda remind me of the moon." Blue said.
"Well… I… Ok, I thank you for that." I said while blushing.
"It was just a compliment." Blue said.
"Yeah, I know. I get a little embarrassed when I get complimented." I said.
"Oh… and that re…"
"I don't want to talk about it." I said as I cut off Lunia on purpose.
"O-Oh ok. Apologies. Anyway, let's remove all the magic from your body. I think we've talked long enough." Lunia said.
"Ok. But… where do I go?" I asked, looking confused on where to go.
"There is a tube called the "Trash Can Tube". It removes any magic that you store in your body. You can go inside there."
...
"*GULP*"
I stepped inside the tube and the door automatically opened and it looked pretty tall (Not big, just tall. It was a little big, though.) to me.
"It is quite comfortable. Just like my room."
*SOUND CHIME THAT IS SIMILAR TO MICROSOFT COMPUTER AND PLAYSTATION START-UP*
As soon as I said that, there was a note and the yes/no options on the holographic touch screen. It must have signaled that I'm getting started.
"'Do you wish to remove all your magic?' Yes, I do." I said as I read the note and touched yes.
I started to wait a little bit as the screen was loading. I was starting to feel a little pumped in which I didn't want to. I was hoping I could live with my current powers, but now it's time for me to say farewell to it.
I've been through a lot with my powers. Even though I've been using them in Primp Town. That might have been the only place where I've used magic at. This has to be a new era.
*SOUND CHIME THAT IS SIMILAR TO MICROSOFT COMPUTER AND PLAYSTATION START-UP*
"'Please wait, while we recognize your body.' Ok."
After a couple of seconds of waiting, there was a red scanner window light that appeared from the top. It was starting at the top of my head, and it was coming down to my forehead to my face to my neck to my body to my legs and to my feet. It was sort of an analyzer to my body.
It does feel a little uncomfortable.
"'You are Kaze Matsuzaki. User of dark magic. Is this correct?' That is correct." I read as I touched the "yes" option.
*SOUND CHIME THAT IS SIMILAR TO MICROSOFT COMPUTER AND PLAYSTATION START-UP*
"'The process of removing your magic will now start. Please sleep… while standing?' That's strange."
I closed my eyes and went to sleep while standing. This doesn't feel right honestly. Sleeping in this position? My legs will feel worn out.
I guess I have to toughen up because I'm sure it will take a while.
Blue's POV
*10 Minutes Later*
"She sure is taking a while, Lunia." I said to Lunia.
Sorry, this is my first time talking to you readers, I'm just a little nervous. *giggle*
"Don't worry, Blue. It just needs to absorb all the power that she has in her body in which it does take a while to do." Lunia said.
"You know, it kinda reminds me of her soul being taken by another person."
"Her soul? Why do you think that?"
"Because seeing how the test tube works makes me think that something bad is gonna happen to me. Personally. But, I prefer not to think of that nightmare. I'm just willing to be more like Kaze in a way."
"Well I'm positively sure it's not gonna do anything harmful to you. It's just these five elemental tubes here that you'll feel sleepy in. It wasn't planned from the start, but I believe that is what my friend, Dr. Lotus said."
"That tube sure is something else." I said with a sweatdrop.
"I-It's not something else. I've had Scarlett try this out one time and she was too scared to do this. But she and my four other kids wanted to test out lunar magic since they wish to become like me of course."
"Scarlett was scared?"
"I didn't know what to say to her." Lunia said while holding the sides of her forehead.
*GREEN LIGHT SOUND*
"Oh! It's done. Let's see what we've got." Lunia said as we stepped towards the tube.
As the door opened, we saw Kaze sleeping in a funny position.
…
And she was drooling.
"I-Is she still breathing?" I asked, looking a little worried.
"Yes, I can see her belly breathing. But you can wake her up."
"I'll try."
I went inside the tube and kneeled down, looking worried that I might interrupt her sleep.
"Hey, Kaze? It's time to wake up." I said as I was rubbing her body.
…
But to no avail. She was still asleep.
"Kaze? Can you hear me?" I said as I shook her body harder.
Nothing.
Oh! She's gonna be mad if I did this to her. But I need her to hear me.
"Come on! Wake up!"
*YANK*
"Ow! Ow! Who is pulling my hair?!" I heard Kaze say instantaneously after pulling her ponytail hard.
Oh wow! I guess that actually worked.
"U-Um… pfft… Morning, Kaze. I thought this could wake you up, so uh… pfft."
"*sigh* All right, laugh all you want. I don't care." She said, looking annoyed. "At least you woke me up any... wait… was I drooling?"
"Mhm. It's all over your right cheek too."
"My right cheek?" She was rubbing her right cheek. "Aw crud. Why did I do this? Now I have to get something to wipe it afterwards."
"Don't worry. I have a napkin." Lunia said as she spawned a napkin right in front of her.
"Oh, thank you."
"So how did that tube go? Did it make you tired." I asked Kaze.
"Yeah. I felt so tired during the removal of my powers."
"I see. Fortunately, that test tube successfully removed your powers so now you are a normal human being." Lunia said.
"Oh. That's good. I'll never forget about dark magic. Ever."
"I know. You two are going to be… um… I'm a little too embarrassed to say this… to be heavy ass game-changers, so I'm going to put all my faith in you."
"Heavy... what?" I asked.
"Were you even saying that your whole life?" Kaze asked, looking surprised.
"*sigh* It was Darius that was saying that. I grew annoyed at first, but since he and the others are taking their talents into this stone war, I had to let it go for now." Lunia said.
…
"Yeah…" Me and Kaze said with a sweatdrop.
"I wouldn't push that topic further however."
"Yeah aside from that… I wouldn't say that we're game-changers just yet. We have to get into shape first." I said.
"You do have a point." Kaze said, agreeing with my opinion. "I know I have tried dark magic, but since it's been a couple of days since I've last used dark magic and I'm gonna be trying out lunar magic, I have to be well-trained."
"You both are correct." Lunia said. "And I will get you girls well-trained after you get in the elemental tubes. You are gonna love those tubes. I promise."
"Yeah. I don't know why… but I'm feeling energetic about this. This is definitely the first time I'm getting magic." I said.
"This is also my first time testing lunar magic. So this is going to be fascinating." Kaze said.
"Although I'm still shocked that you are testing out lunar magic."
"I can handle it, Lunia. You know, for the past couple of days, you kinda remind me of the moon, albeit you have a star on your head. I'm just wanting to be more like you in a certain way since this place and yourself gave me high interest."
She does remind me of… Rosalina from Super Mario Galaxy or something.
"Th-Thank you. I never thought I would be praised like that." Lunia said with a light shade of blush. "Anyway, are you ready to receive your magic?"
"Sure." Kaze said.
"Yeah. Let's do it." I said.
"Be sure to follow the instructions when you enter the tubes." Lunia said.
We both went to the elemental tubes of our choice as we are now ready for the big moment of our lives. I'm just so pumped, my energy is on the roof. I can't believe how interesting this whole setup is going to be.
…
Ok, maybe I'm starting to sound like Gemma. Maybe I should bring it back a bit.
Kaze's POV
I was now inside the dark elemental tube and ready to get my lunar magic. This is now starting to sound like déjà vu because it all goes back to when I was fighting Professor Accord. I'm surprised she wasn't shocked about my attacks that I was given from Lunia. This still shocked me because I never expected this to happen from the beginning. Oh yeah, and not only I'm surprised at her, but I'm surprised at all my friends actually.
…
E-Excluding Schezo since he's a dark mage.
"'Do you wish to have the dark element?' Yes." I whispered as I touched the "yes" option.
*SOUND CHIME THAT IS SIMILAR TO MICROSOFT COMPUTER AND PLAYSTATION START-UP*
"'Please wait while we recognize your body.'"
I see it still does the same thing. Makes perfect sense.
The scanner window light appeared again. This time it was purple. And it was doing the same thing that the other window light was doing. It was just scanning my whole body to make full verification. I just carried on.
It still makes me uncomfortable.
After the window light was done scanning my body, I waited a few more seconds to get the verification until…
*SOUND CHIME THAT IS SIMILAR TO MICROSOFT COMPUTER AND PLAYSTATION START-UP*
"'You are Kaze Matsuzaki. Your appearance matches the dark element. Which magic do you wish to learn?'
…
Wow, so there's two options. Darkness, I think that's similar. Lunar is what I'm choosing." I said as I picked on lunar magic.
*SOUND CHIME THAT IS SIMILAR TO MICROSOFT COMPUTER AND PLAYSTATION START-UP*
Ok… I'm just so ready for this. I think this new ability is going to be so amazing to use since I believe it best fits me. I wonder how I would explain this to mom. I have a strong feeling that she would react the same way I showed my dark magic to her.
*WOOSH*
As soon as the screen was done loading, the next part actually surprised me big. And it was something I did not expect. Really.
"'You will now select how you wish to fight. You will be given a primary and a secondary. You can choose the same two weapons/abilities as your build.'"
I can choose the same weapons/abilities?! My goodness, that's amazing to see! Now I can become more elite!
I then touched the screen to move on to the next part. And this is where the magic happens. As I scrolled around, there were a TON… of weapons/abilities to choose from.
"Ok let's see… 'Fighting: Fighting is an ability where you learn creative punches, kicks, wrestling moves, etc.' So mainly Raffina and Rulue would definitely prefer this.
…
Honestly, I would want to try this to surprise Raffina even more… but… I don't wanna fight physically— actually I'll see if there's a secondary to that.
'Sword: Swords are weapons for slicing and slashing opponents with skill.' Hmm… normally I don't try out swords… I'm gonna have to think about that one.
'Staff: Staff are weapons for casting spells and/or healing opponents. These are long range weapons.' Ehh… I don't think that's my type. What's next?
'Gun… uhh… ermm…"
I wouldn't want to try that out!
"'Guns are weapons similar to staff for shooting opponents with plasma or lasers.' Oh I thought there were actual bullets. Ok good. But still not my type.
'Magic: Short-Ranged or Long-Ranged, Magic is an ability where you cast spells just like using staff, this time using hands or books to attack.' This is definitely what I like, but I'll come back to that.
'Bow: Bows are Long-Ranged weapons that require shooting accuracy to pierce through your opponent in any part of their body.' I know I've been reading the Hunger Games lately… but I don't think I have the guts to do such a thing as I haven't taken Archery classes. Let's see what's next.
'Spear: Spears are weapons that will pierce through opponents by thrusting them or throwing them.' Uhh… I don't think that can do much to opponents honestly. It still seems like a useful weapon, but I don't think that can work.
'Shuriken: Shurikens are sharp weapons that can sharply pierce through opponents by throwing them. This requires power and accuracy.' Hm… they seem a little dangerous.
…
I don't think I can quite handle that. Maybe that Yamabuki girl is an expert at that.
Ok… I think I'm wasting time. I should make my selections already."
I swiped around to figure out what I want to learn about. This is really a really hard decision. Personally. And it seems you can't go back after you've made your decision.
…
W-Well, I knew what my first choice would be. Honest.
"So I know what I'm choosing as my primary… Magic. That's one." I said as I picked magic first.
*SOUND CHIME THAT IS SIMILAR TO MICROSOFT COMPUTER AND PLAYSTATION START-UP*
"Alright. Secondary weapon/ability… I think the sword is the only one I haven't rejected yet." I said.
What would I want to choose as my secondary… Magic… or sword.
…
…
…
Hm… I'm leaning towards the sword…
…
…
…
…
…
Or…
"I'll go with the sword. I think I might surprise Schezo with this." I said with a smirk as I picked the sword as my secondary.
*SOUND CHIME THAT IS SIMILAR TO MICROSOFT COMPUTER AND PLAYSTATION START-UP*
But the part wasn't over as there were a ton of swords to choose from.
"Oh wow. I can choose any sword, huh?" I whispered. "Well, I can choose a normal sword for now. I like that one better."
*SOUND CHIME THAT IS SIMILAR TO MICROSOFT COMPUTER AND PLAYSTATION START-UP*
The screen was now loading as I was waiting for the next part to show up on the screen. I don't know what to say. This still feels new to me, although it's been a couple days since I've used magic but now it's time I've taken the next step. Which is actually crazy.
After a few seconds of loading, the screen then showed something that I never expected.
"'We will now customize your Hyperdrive Cyber Unit outfit and your transformation appearance that best fits you perfectly, but first…' Uhh… my transformation appearance? Does this mean… I get to transform like my friends from this dimension? Th-That's nice to hear."
*WOOSH SOUND EFFECT FROM SCREEN*
"'You have made yourself: Swordfighting Lunar Magician, is this correct?' So I'm believing that this means swordfighting is my secondary and magician… I think that means magic is my primary."
Lunia does realize I don't want to be a magician where it's "abracadabra" in real life. I'm a sorcerer. But I'll let it go.
I touched the yes option as I was getting ready for the best part of them all… which is this…
"'Please wait while we get everything set up.' This will be great. I'm so ready for this.'"
I know I said I'm not cheerful all the time, but I couldn't help it. This is the happiest I've been in my entire life. Now I'll be completely ready to take on this mastermind for the stones. He or she's not gonna know who will be in the center for all of this.
"'Your build will now be delivered to you. Please close your eyes while we set you up.' Alright, this is it." I said as I closed my eyes as I got ready for the biggest moment of my life.
I heard some spraying inside the tube but I can't figure out what it is because my eyes are closed. This is the beginning of what I'm known as a Hyperdrive Cyber Unit and the first step of preparations.
All of that aside… I really hope this setup goes well.
Lunia's POV
*RING*
"Hm? Who could that be?" I asked myself as I checked my holographic smartwatch.
And when I looked on my watch, it was Alexis calling me. She calls me sometimes, but I have a feeling that she is worried about me since it took about 45 to 50 minutes of us having our privacy.
"Alexis?" I asked as I answered my watch. The good thing about this watch is that she can pop up as a human being outside the watch. So that means she's holographic.
"Mom, are you done yet? It's been quite some time now." Alexis asked.
"Almost, sweetheart. It's just some exclamation points coming up in a few and then we'll be all finished."
"Finally! After 45 minutes. I thought it would be a really quick chat." Alexis said in disbelief.
"No, it's just very important. I need to make sure Kaze and Blue are prepared early before they are accepted into this mission."
"Prepared? Wait… are you…"
"Sorry, sweetheart. I cannot tell you. It's a secret."
"Mom, I can see right…" I then hung up quickly as I didn't want her to know about this. I was clearly lucky they didn't ask where I am currently, so hopefully our privacy ends successfully. In other words, I hope that Kaze and Blue chose what they are fighting for and our now HCUs.
This is all starting to remind me of the CPUs, CPU Candidates and Gold Third. I'm visualizing how Kaze, Blue and my kids would attempt being the fourth transformation group since they know all the tools of course.
This is going to be interesting to see Kaze and Blue working together with us. They seem to have great intelligence about these stones so carrying their crazy masterpiece and the ability to fight very strong could impact our strength not only for my domain but for the other dimensions as well.
…
Maybe I'm starting to sound like Darius all of the sudden. Sports are really trying to give me attention but maybe I should stay in my own lane.
*GREEN LIGHT SOUND*
I looked on my left to see that Blue's setup is now finished, so I floated over to the water element tube to see if she was finished.
Normally, I don't wake people up from their sleep, but I have to do what I can to wake her up since she wants to become an HCU.
I went inside the tube to see that Blue was sleeping in a weird position.
I have to get Adonis to figure out how to prevent these people from sleeping in weird positions.
I drew a very tiny moon crescent that appeared in real life and…
*FLICK*
"Ow!" Blue whined as I flicked the moon crescent on her forehead.
"Sorry, Blue. I had to wake you up." I said as she was starting to get up.
"It's fine but… what was that you threw at my forehead? Because that really hurt."
"It was a little crescent moon. I drew it and made it real."
"Oh… well, did it go through? I got my magic?" Blue asked eagerly.
"You sure did."
"Yes! That's awesome! Can I test it out right now?! I really need to test it!"
"Well, hold on. Let's wait until Kaze finishes her set-up." I said.
"Ok."
*GREEN LIGHT SOUND*
"Speak of the devil." I then floated towards the dark element tube to start waking up Kaze.
I then repeated the same process that I did to Blue. Which was drawing a little moon crescent and…
*FLICK*
"Ow!" Kaze whined as I hit her in the forehead with it. "Blue, was that you aga… Lunia?"
"I-I had nothing to do with this, Kaze." Blue said defensively."
"It was a little moon crescent that I flicked at you this time." I said.
"That still hurts. Not cool, but it doesn't matter since you woke me up." Kaze said as she was getting back on her feet. "So did I get my magic?"
"Yup. You both are now HCUs. You now have the ability to transform and use your weapons during battle."
"Wow, this feels so good! I can't wait to work the ice! This just feels like a dream come true! It really is!
…
But wait… HCU? What does it stand for?" Blue asked, looking confused after being excited to test out her powers.
"It stands for Hyperdrive Cyber Units. That means we now can transform and use weapons or abilities." Kaze said. "But I've never been so ready before. Did you get your magic?"
"Yes. I am now known as… a "Magic Using Ice Archeress" if I'm not mistaken."
"Wait."
…
"A…A "Magic Using Ice Archeress"?" Kaze asked, while looking confused. "I thought you put magic as your primary ability."
"I wanted to be more like a "Hunger Games" type of person, so I selected the bow as my primary weapon. As for magic, that's for when I have nothing left to use. So I thought about using this build. Don't get me wrong, Kaze. I was just hoping this would work out. I've taken archery classes before."
"No, I understand. I just hope it goes well for you."
"What did you pick as your build?"
"I became a "Swordfighting Lunar Magician". I thought about becoming more of a sword user so I wanted to use it. It'd be pretty easy using one anyway. For me."
"A sword user? Which one was it?" I asked Kaze.
"It was just a normal sword. I just wanted to be basic."
"Well, I'm glad you two are now part of the HCU family. Do you want to do that test run? Or rather… I need to see how you look when you transform. Which are your Hyperdrive Generational Unit looks. HGU for short."
"Ok. But how do we transform? I don't think I've done this before."
"You just say the word "transform" in your head. Think of the word "transform to yourself."
"Say… the word "transform"? In my head?"
"That's really it?" Blue asked.
"That's just the magic word." I answered.
"Alright. We'll try…"
After a few seconds, those two got absorbed into a mix of white and light-blue light. This only happened for a couple of seconds…
…
Their looks shocked me.
"Wow." They both said. Well... one voice sounded different.
"Oh my goodness…"
"I-Is something up, Lunia?" Kaze asked… in a slightly low tone.
I was in complete shock at their outfits as I said this.
"W-Well… do you need a look at your HGU forms?"
"Yeah! I need to see!" Blue asked.
"Wait… did my voice… get deeper?" Kaze asked.
"Oh… well… yes! It sure did!" I said with a lot of surprise.
"Your voice got deeper, Kaze?" Blue asked her.
"S-Somehow. That was some sort of change of events." She said, looking a little embarrassed.
"Well… H-Here's what you actually look like." I said as I showed them their HGU looks with a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall.
"Woah woah woah woah! I'm floating! What the?! Why am I so high up?!" Blue shouted as she was moving so high up.
"Don't move, Blue! Just stay still!" I shouted at Blue. "Now try moving your body like you are moving up on a bed."
"Moving my body? Like this?" Blue asked as she was starting to come on.
"Yes! There you go! You're getting warm!"
"Oh, thank god! My life is spared! I didn't know what I was doing!" Blue said with her hands on her face.
"I forgot floating was a thing too. It's gonna take a lot of practice in this." Kaze said, looking a little worried.
your"I'll teach you. Now, try moving your body forward. Not legs, just your body forward, like you are about to fall down forward." I said to those two.
"Ok."
Once I said that, they moved their body towards me.
"Wait… Oh! Hold on." Blue said as she tried moving her body around. "Ok, now it's starting to make sense! I see a lot of people who have the ability to float, move their body around like that. So now it's starting to make sense."
"You noticed this, Blue?" Kaze asked.
"Yeah. It was from an anime."
…
...
"Gotcha." She said with a sweatdrop.
"Anyway, are you sure, Blue? You struggled a few seconds ago. And I don't want you to move all crazy." I asked Blue.
"I'm serious. I knew about this and I was visualizing how I would do it in real-life and I knew perfectly so it definitely makes sense now."
"Ok… I'm just checking."
"I'm glad you had to stop me with that surprise reaction, Blue. I wouldn't know what I would be doing either." Kaze said.
"Yeah… you're welcome." Blue said with a sweatdrop.
"Anyway, this way. I'm really shocked by your new looks.
…
I… don't know what to say."
"Me either. It's just… sorry for the late reaction but… Kaze is… she's… she's…"
"What about me? Do I… Wha…" Kaze was shocked while looking at her form. She was speechless.
"Can I see myself?!" She asked me.
"That's what I was going to say, Kaze. Come on." I said as we made our way towards the mirror.
As soon as we made it, Blue and Kaze were completely shocked at their new looks. Their eyes lit big. Stood in their in silence.
…
…
Until...
"TH-THIS IS OUR HGU FORMS?!" They both yelled while looking at themselves in the mirror.
Author's Note: I'm now splitting this into two parts because I think it works best for this one. The first part was about Kaze and Blue becoming HCUs. The second part will be revealed. Just gotta wait it out. Can't spoil it yet.
So when I was reading the chapters in my Google Docs, I know I've said I need to make some corrections in this story since it doesn't make sense… I just need some time to figure out where I need proper grammar so that this story can make sense. I may have used a lot of advanced words, but that is because I'm not only making this story entertaining, but I'm not making this story a damn kindergarten story. I don't write stories for kindergarteners, goddamnit, so don't even think about it!
So yeah, I got nothing to say, so I hope you guys stay safe, review/follow/favorite if you're enjoying this story far, and I'll see you in my next chapter.
