Inner Stabilization
Over in the forest, Miguel and Blossom were getting ready to come out of their honeymoon and head back to the forest. They were getting ready and helping each other get dressed.
Miguel: You ready Blossom?
Blossom: Almost Miguel-kun.
Once Miguel and Blossom were dressed they came back to each other and held each other, their tattoos glowed and they kissed. After a minute they stopped kissing and looked at each other.
Miguel: Let's go.
Blossom: Yes Miguel-kun.
Miguel reached out his hand and Blossom took it, both of them worked their way up the hole they came down to get to the surface. Meanwhile Violet and Raheem were getting ready as well, once they were done they were crawling back up the hole and they moved the rock. Once they were out they put the rock back and went back down the path.
Soon enough the couples met and were talking.
Raheem: Hey Miguel.
Miguel: Hey Raheem, how did things go with the room?
Raheem: Both of us say thank you.
Blossom: Blossom-Chan thinks Raheem-kun and Violet-kun had a real good time.
Violet still had some soreness when Raheem was on auto-pilot.
Raheem: A really good time but we would rather not talk about it.
Miguel: Agreed, what happens on our honeymoons stay on our honeymoons.
All four of them walked together until they reached the forest, when they got there everyone saw them and stopped doing what they were doing.
Miguel: Hey everyone, we are back.
Everyone applauded that they were back in the forest, Rai and Rin came to them.
Raheem: Who are these?
Li came to them.
Li: Meet Rai and Rin, sphinx twins that wanted to come to the forest to help.
Miguel: Nice to have the help, where do you have them stationed?
Li: In the orchard, everything is going ok and supplies are good.
Miguel: What about the fields?
Li: We are still preparing them and Pure activated lockdown again.
Raheem: What is it this time?
Li: Couldn't say because he was busy but all he could say someone was genetically altered.
Raheem: Like when Violet bit me?
Li: But more forced.
Miguel: Oh boy.
Li: He is covering it and he said he is getting close to who it is.
Miguel: All right, Rai, Rin, let's talk, everyone else, let's keep things going but we are on lockdown just as much as them.
Raheem and Violet reached out their hands and their armor came out of their tree and latched onto them.
Rai and Rin were absolutely shocked about the armor and how it came on.
Raheem: I'll take the first patrol.
Raheem took off into the skies.
Miguel: Come on Rai and Rin.
Everyone split up from here and went back to work. Rai and Rin followed Miguel while Blossom helped the others.
Miguel: So, Rai, Rin, how do like the sanctuary so far?
Rin: This place is amazing, everyone working together, growing this forest, it's really something.
Miguel: So what got you out of the desert and into the forest really?
Rai: It's about learning how to grow things so that we can possibly grow our own forest.
Miguel: In the desert?
Rai: Let us explain, before we went into hiding, we heard from our elders our city was an oasis, It was a time that everything was plentiful and we want to bring that back.
Miguel: I see, well I don't hold anyone back if they want to learn here but it is no easy task. Even I had to train to get this far.
Rin: What do you mean?
They got to Miguel and Blossom's tree and went inside, Miguel took off his shirt and they could see the tattoo on his back, then he turned around and saw the heart made of roots at the front.
Rai: Amazing.
Miguel: The tattoos show our bond to the forest and to the ones we love, the more bond you have the more the tattoos grow.
Rin: So how do we begin?
Miguel: Keep doing what you have been doing and help around the forest, in any area.
Rai: Ok.
Miguel: Also, do you have an interest with our twins?
Rai and Rin look at each other.
Rin: Well, learning different languages was fascinating.
Miguel: OK, I'm going to be honest and I will not hold you two back, if there is something there, let it grow, it's how Blossom and I formed our relationship and now we are happily married.
Rai: Thank you Miguel.
Miguel: Now head out and see what you can do, I got check and make some more medicine.
Rin: OK, thank you.
Rai and Rin leave Miguel and Blossom's tree. They head down and see Ana and Niki.
Rai: Ana.
Rin: Niki.
Ana and Niki stop and see Rai and Rin, Rai and Rin come down and went to Ana and Niki.
Rai: Where are you two headed?
Ana: The fields.
Rai: Mind if we come with you?
Niki: Si. (Yes.)
Rai: Gracias. (Thank you.)
Ana: Oh, someone is learning, let's go.
All four of them were headed to the fields and were talking to each other. Meanwhile Hiro was with Kyla who was taking care of the greenhouses.
Hiro: Is this good Kyla?
Hiro was handling the tomatoes.
Kyla: Yes, those will be ready soon.
Once they checked the greenhouses they sat down when they were done, Hiro had one of his books and he was reading to Kyla. Hiro got his voice completely and was able to speak normally. After a couple minutes Hiro stopped reading and Kyla enjoyed it.
Kyla: Thank you Hiro.
Hiro: You're welcome.
Hiro gets up and helps Kyla up.
Kyla: How are you feeling now?
Hiro: Actually, I have never felt better.
Kyla: That's good.
Kyla thought of something.
Kyla: Hiro?
Hiro: Yes?
Kyla: Do you like it here?
Hiro: I love it here, it's quiet so I can write peacefully but I am able to help with the forest when I need a break.
Kyla: Glad you like this place, for that I have something for you.
Hiro: What is it?
Kyla reached out her hands and Hiro did the same, when he held her hands, his tattoo started to grow, it went up to his shoulders. Once they were fully made they started to turn purple just like her. Hiro knew what she meant when her color changed. Both of their tattoos were glowing
Hiro: Kyla...
Kyla: Um, I was kind of wondering if you liked me.
From Hiro it sounded like a confession straight out of an anime, she was shy and Hiro could see it on her face. Hiro thought about what she did for him and how much help he has been to the greenhouses. Hiro held her hand and looked into her eyes.
Hiro: I do like you, I wouldn't have if you helped me this far.
Kyla was happy that Hiro liked her and she liked him, both of them looked into each other's eyes for a while until someone broke the link.
Li: Hiro, you in here?
When Li saw Hiro and Kyla and breaking it up when he noticed his tattoo color changed and expanded.
Hiro: Um, I'll just go now.
Hiro walked out of the greenhouse fast with his binder, Li let him get some distance before he pulled on his shirt which stopped him dead in his tracks. Hiro stopped and stood put.
Li: She didn't change your color because you asked, didn't she.
Hiro: Um...
Li: Don't bother denying it; you only get that much if she likes you but...
Hiro says nothing.
: Do you really like her or were you not trying to break her heart?
Li lets go of Hiro's shirt.
Hiro: I really like her for helping me to get my voice back and helping me with my arm. Also it feels nice that she sits down next to me and actually listens to my stories, so why would I break her heart?
Li: Good, now get to where you were going, I got patrols with Raheem in a few minutes.
Hiro headed back into the forest and Li looked back at the greenhouse and saw Kyla peeping out and hearing the conversation. Li nodded his head and left Kyla to the greenhouse and she was happy that what Hiro said was true. She went back to work in the greenhouses happily.
Back at the fort Pure was talking to Susan about where she got the info from. He was plugged into the hologram room and was searching.
Pure: Thanks for the info Susan.
Susan: Happy to help, was it something important.
Pure: It was and we need you to keep this off the record and you need to get off the grid for a while.
Susan: Already on it, when we end this call, I'm gone for a while.
Pure: Good.
Susan: What did you find out there?
Pure: Genetically altered and unstable people, all of us were burning the midnight oil to get answers.
Susan: Well, the call was anonymous and there have been improvements to that.
Pure: I can manage.
Once Pure had the info he ran it through the satellites to see where the call originated from and where it was in the world. Once he found the location he tapped into the nearby security camera into several buildings to get who it is, Pure managed to get a face and used facial recognition and it pointed to a person working for a private laboratory
Pure: Got them, disappear for a while.
Susan: You got it.
Susan ended the call, threw her phone in a car and went the other direction, with Pure he unplugged and left the fort. He was over India and where they were located was in an apartment building. Pure landed and went inside of the apartment; he went up to the floor and knocked on the door. Pure waited and a man came out.
Pure: I guess you are the whistleblower?
Man: How did you find me?
Pure: It takes way more than a burner phone and a voice changer to lose me. How did you know those four were being moved?
Man: -sighs- I was forced to do that to do them.
Pure: What made you do it?
Man: They would hurt my family if I didn't.
Pure checks his background info.
Pure: Randal.
Randal: On it.
Randal takes the information and guns it out of the fort to where his family is.
Pure: My team is on their way to protect them but why were you forced to do that to them?
Man: Start with who runs the company I work for.
Seth checks the data and Pure sees it.
Pure: Gram Harrison, owner of Anatomy research, has billions invested to genetic research to cure genetic faults.
Man: You put a wrench in his plans when you built the pod rooms and can be able to schedule visits to remove most genetics except for the lethal ones in which you came in personally to fix.
Pure: So he took it another way with genetic mutation?
Man: The four of them were the first prototypes for four different applications.
Pure thought it through in his head with the others.
Pure: How to do a hybrid for battle applications for the eel girl.
Seth: How to make super soldiers for the muscle guy.
Vincent: How to make top assassins with phase girl.
Qiang: I am not seeing a use for Jasper.
Pure: Let me see.
Pure comes out of his head.
Pure: What do they want dark matter for?
Man: High-grade suicide bombers, one person can swallow ten blocks in a shot.
Pure: I got a feeling this was something more in there, who were they?
Man: Eel girl was his girlfriend, someone deep sixed her mind to the point it was a blank slate and he made her a pet, muscle guy was a friend of his and he turned him into that way as payback. Phase girl was his sister who was excelling in her own business until she went missing.
Pure: What about the dark matter?
Man: It was to teach us a lesson about betrayal, we thought he died but he stabilized in an unstable form and we couldn't do anything about it.
Pure: Does he know you are gone?
Man: Used my sick days to make the call and disappear, even my wife doesn't know.
Randal: We got them and we are coming back to the fort now.
Pure: They are safe now, is there any way to reverse them.
Man: Unfortunately, no, even if you stabilize them they can't be turned back to normal, only closest.
Pure: Do you know how?
Man: They took my notes on that, I can't continue without them.
Pure: Daiyu, did you find a way to stabilize them?
Daiyu: It took some time, understanding and a whole load of coffee but looking at the others' genetic makeups we made a stabilizing agent for the four of them, we need to study her more as to how they have her phasing in and out of reality but Vincent came up with a chamber to stabilize her so that we can put her in a suit that would keep her that way.
Pure: Nice.
Daiyu: But.
Pure: Why is there always a "but"?
Daiyu: They need blood transfusions of their original blood for it to work.
Pure: Did you collect their blood samples before you turned them like that?
Man: Hid them with a friend before I left.
Pure: Then we should get going, now.
Pure opens a portal behind him and both of them jumped through, they ended back at the fort with Randal bringing in the Man's family.
Pure: Ok, where is the blood?
The man points to a spot on the map.
Pure: Be right back.
Pure opens another portal and goes through it, a few minutes later he comes back and had four containers containing their blood.
Pure: Nice call burying them in a freezer that no one uses.
Pure quickly runs to Daiyu and gave her the blood that he brought. Daiyu mixed their blood with the stabilizing agent to make sure it would take. Once it was mixed properly, she started the transfusions and they were starting to stabilize, all four of them.
Daiyu: It's working, it will take some time but they will be stable enough to come out in just a few days.
Just then a private jet was coming in with a squad of fighter jets.
Mima: We got a private jet and a squad of fighter jets coming in.
Horatio: Any of ours?
Mima: No, private ones
Then they heard something on com.
Person: Destiny Fort, return what you stole from me immediately or I will take it myself.
Everyone looked at each other and had the look "seriously?" on their face. Daiyu came out and cracked her knuckles.
Daiyu: Can I have this one; I need to get some steam out.
Jae: From what?
Daiyu: Someone going to hurt my kids and grandkids.
Pure: By all means, knock yourself out.
Daiyu: Honey, can I borrow your blades?
Liz: Go right ahead honey bunches.
Daiyu's armor went on her since she had it off when she was working and Liz sent her blades to Daiyu. Daiyu went straight out of the fort with the six scythe blades and her wrench turned into her electric staff. The whole squad and private jet saw her.
Person: Open fire!
The private military jets launched missiles and bullets at Daiyu but Daiyu reached out her hand and all of the missiles and bullets stopped in front of her. Daiyu dropped her hand and they all fell into the ocean and exploded. Daiyu put her staff on her back and controlled Liz's blades. With how she was controlling the electromagnetism she was faster than a military jet.
Private Pilot: Where is she?
Before anyone could realize, there were lines on the planes, Daiyu came back to in front of the fort and everyone saw Liz's blades red hot. Daiyu snapped her finger and all the planes came apart instantaneously. The pilots and passenger fell out of the parts before all of the planes exploded.
Daiyu used her magnetism and caught all of them, then whistled and that called the harpies to come out and pick them up. Daiyu went back inside and came walking in with the six scythes beside her with three on each side, everyone could see the electricity arcing from Daiyu.
Liz came out and saw her in her armor with the electricity surging and her blades having an arc of electricity running in-between them. Daiyu saw Liz and Daiyu's armor came off but the gloves and boots stayed along with Liz's scythe blades. Liz came to Daiyu and they kissed.
While they were kissing, the harpies came and dropped off the pilots and the person, everyone had their weapons pointed at the pilots and the person.
Pure: Gram Harrison I presume?
Gram: That is correct and I suggest you lower your weapons before my lawyers sue this place to the ground.
Everyone looked at Pure.
Pure: Now I suggest you surrender and your lawyers can't do one thing about this place.
Gram: You don't have anything on me.
Daiyu gets a notification on her com.
Daiyu: Pure, phase girl is waking up.
Pure: Put them in a cell, I'll be right back.
While Gram and pilots were being restrained Pure went to Daiyu's workshop to find phase girl waking up.
Phase Girl: -grunts-
Pure waits until she opened her eyes.
Phase Girl: Pure, is that you?
Pure: You know me?
Phase Girl: I take my company after you, even though we were private.
Pure: Do you know what happened to you?
Phase Girl: My brother, he did this to me. He was jealous since my company was excelling more than his.
Pure: Guess he took over your company when you went missing.
Phase Girl: Where is he, I want to give him a beating.
Pure: Calm down, we have to wait till you are stabilized for you to even get out of there.
Phase Girl: What do you mean?
Pure: Look at yourself.
Phase Girl looked at herself and she could see herself phasing in and out of reality.
Phase Girl: What did he do to me?
Pure: We don't know how but he made your body phase in and out of reality with somewhere else.
Phase Girl: Since I was excelling so much it made him thought he was a ghost so he made me a ghost.
Pure: For right now stabilization is the only option, we can't reverse it since it's bound to you and the others.
Phase Girl: Others?
Pure pointed to the others and Phase Girl saw them.
Phase Girl: His friend, his girlfriend, what has he done?
Pure: That is what we have to figure out, after a few days of stabilization we have a suit that would keep you stable while out of there.
Phase Girl: You need to patch me into my company; there is a failsafe Gram doesn't know about, that should get the lawyers and other things off your back.
Pure: Seth?
Phase Girl: Working on it, give me a few.
Phase Girl was waiting on Pure to finish; she was looking at the others and they were still asleep and being stabilized. She realized the eel girl didn't have an oxygen mask on.
Phase Girl: What happened to his girlfriend, is she dead?
Pure: She is not dead, whatever genetics she has, she can breathe like a fish with gills, she has a monitor on and she is reading normally but there is a problem with her.
Phase Girl: What do you mean?
Pure: From what the scientist told me they were forced to deep six her mind so bad he wanted her to be a pet.
Phase Girl: He really did that?
Pure: For right now, we need to help them, if that section of the mind is gone, the other part like natural instinct can help.
Phase Girl: It is a possibility that can work but I don't think you would work.
Pure: Once you all get stabilized, we will fill you all in.
Seth: Pure, I got access when I said the C.E.O has been found.
Pure used the nanites on the glass when he placed his hand on it and it created a screen with a keyboard for her to type. She reached out and started to type.
Pure: Guess you all are out of practice.
Phase Girl: Heh, yeah.
The Phase Girl was rusty on her typing but she got it back but she had to deal with the phasing in and out as well. With some attempts she got what she wanted to type in and sent it to the company.
Phase Girl: There, he can't go after you because I just froze his assets to the company and his off-shore accounts, plug a flash drive in.
Pure plugged a flash drive in his cables and she was downloading something into him, when the download was finished Pure checked what it was.
Pure: What are these?
Phase Girl: Command codes to keep the companies running, without them everyone heads home until everything is sorted.
Pure: All right, you need to rest now.
Phase Girl: Ok.
The nanites came back to Pure and he took his hand off, he went back to the main hall while Phase Girl got some rest. Pure went to the main hall where everyone else was.
Mima: The world's leaders have been brought up to speed on the current situation.
US President: He has no cause to sue or do anything to the fort.
Pure: Well he thinks money can do anything but he is way wrong.
Carolina: Nicholas was proof of that.
Seth: What is that she gave you?
Pure: Codes to the companies, as long as we have them he can't do anything at all.
Alisha: What should we do?
Pure: First, see what dirt he has against the scientists, accommodate for the patients when they are stable and make sure everyone is safe. Rick, did you get a contact?
Rick: We are going to meet up tomorrow.
Pure: All right everyone; let's see what we are dealing with here.
Everyone split up and got back on task, nobody wanted to let those four suffer the fate they were now given, in fact they want to change it to be able to live a mostly normal life again.
