Chapter 13 - 13. Water skill

"What!!!!! I though you can levitate?"

" Well ya but I need something below me or it will be like now...Hehe. Free falling."

"What hehe, you useless piece of scrap. Ahhhhhhhhh" Zi Zen scream

"Tuuùuuuuuu" Tutu fly to Zi Zen and hide in his shirt in fear. Must have frighten by the fact that we are falling.

And when it can't get any worse, the monster that can glide like squrriel with vampire teeth and rolling one like armadillon but with spike are coming down the cliff following us. They look like they out for blood with us.

Compare to them who are sticking close to the edge, we are free falling as the speed to fast which shoot us too far from the edge. Why this is hapening? Now the situation is critical. What can we do now?

"Hey, do the thing I do in the test apply to real life like now? You know the imagination thing."

"That actually only for design stage where it aid you in design thing for the train uses only. And when you upgrade me to higher level which is long away from now. You can make it appear in an instant however there limitation. Provided having the necessary material in the storage, enough magical power and accurate imagination from the start to internal part to each function of the part that it use. So it impossible unless you clearly know and understand how it work."

"So in other word"

"Don't even think about it now"

"F*ck, what can we do now?

"Miracle, or in your language. Start praying"

"Again? What do you think am I. Keep rely on GOD, when I will be independent?"

"But in this situation, it either pray for GOD or die to go see GOD. I rather you pray."

"Are you human or I'm the human. Why you are doing something a human will do instead of me?"

"I ....." 'Tang'

"What sound is that? We are still far from land and there nothing in our way to hit on."

"Sorry, it seem the vamp like squerrial have land on me and sink in fang into the roof but my body is way more studier to punch a hole through."

"What! Why didn't you detect it?"

"Well we are busy argueing so I didn't inform you that."

"WHATTTTT! That what important."

"Well, for me...Ah, there another one. Our weight are increasing so the speed of falling are increasing as well."

"You unreliable scrap of train. All also need I do" Zi Zen scold it then draw out his knife as the vamp-squerrial trying to climb into the train through the window by biting off the wood. "Die" The knife drive into the skull. Zi Zen try to throw the whole body out to lighten the load

"Hey"

"What, can't you see I busy."

"I need the crystal in the skull. I will try to unlock something to get us out of this situation " A panel is open with a space in it. Look like it trying to tell Zi Zen to put the crystal in it.

" Tell me earlier next time, I almost throw the whole thing out of the train."

Zi Zen dig the crystal out. He then try to lure the another one in to kill.

"Good, at least you are obedient to die." Zi Zen dig out the crystal and put both into the open space in the panel.

'Chack'

" Umm, what do you want?"

"Teleport"

"Too high level, need more high level crystal"

"Fly"

"Same answer"

"Float"

"But float can only be use on water. To float. Are you sure you want Float?"

"Of course not, let me think of something" Right after Zi Zen finish his word, a vamp-squerrial jump toward him at the blind spot. The train is too busy searching for useful ability?! and Zi Zen not aware. However, at this moment, "Tu" Tutu come out of the shirt and shoot a jet stream of water toward the vamp-squerrial knocking it away. Hearing the noise, Zi Zen turn his head and when he see it, he directly drive the knife into it. Killing it in process.

When, Zi Zen take another crystal and put into the panel. He suddenly get and inspiration. "Hey, do you have glide ability?"

"...I do have but it need certain condition to activate it."

"State it"

"I need to extend my base area or have something like wing for plane or paraglide for it to work."

"Hmph, I think I can make it but in need another thing. Seeing I put another crystal in it. Can you make a plane wing appear on your side?"

"Need to upgrade."

"Ok, show me your option for water skill."

"Here" A panel apperar with lot of option for water related skill for 1 crystal.

Zi Zen take a glance for any skill that can save them from this situation. As he scroll down, he see something useful, just what he needed now.

"I choose this, Elemental water full-control."

"Sure but that only allow you to control water that made from you only."

"That fine, buy glide too"

"Done"

The moment the skill is buy, Zi Zen open his hand until it look like want to high five someone on both of his hand. Standing in the middle of the train. He channel the magic of water to both his hand. The water spread out like a fan shaped. The moment the water fan spread out, the water freeze. Creating a fan shaped ice. Both add together make the train like grow a wing made of ice.

"Now, use glide."

"Ok"

The moment glide is use. The train stop falling and start to glide. However, visible crack can be seen on the ice wing. Look like it cannot take the wind that coming from downward. Zi Zen direct his concentration on the ice so that it will maintain the shape longer.

"Even for 1 second, it will do" Zi Zen clench his teeth as his head experience massive headache like a giant hammer is knocking on it.

"Stop it, your head or should I say your brain cannot take such intense magic control without few year of training. People who just learn it usually take few weeks to month to make a shape out of it and it only maintain for 10 sec. You have made a huge wing and maintain it for more than 20 sec on your first try."

"Stop? If I relax a bit, the wing will broke and I will be dead. What is this minor headache compare to my life. I will never die until my family is found safe."

Right at this moment, an armadillon shoot from the ledge to the wing like cannon ball. It shoot toward the left wing and punch a hole through it. Follow the lead of the first armadillon, 3 more shoot the same way to the left wing. What was only a minor crack, now have multiple hole. The train start to tilt to one side.

"If I am better, I will fix the hole while still maintain the ice wing. Alas, this the best I can do. Despite tilting to a dangerous angle, Zi Zen didn't let any of his concentration to waver. Then, Tutu walk infront of him. Instantly, he think of a way.

"Tutu, can you go and fix the hole?

"Tu?" Tutu look at Zi Zen face confused.

"Hole, hole in the left. Cover it, close it, patch it or even freeze it. Anything!"

"Tu" Tutu jump out the window and approach the hole. Tutu then stare at it.

"....Tu?"

"close it with your water magic" Zi Zen say from within the train.

"Tuuuu" Tutu make a bubble of water and close hole. Then, the same for two other hole.

""Good job, the train is stabilizing."

"Land ho" The moment the train stabilize, the train see that they will land in few more sec. "We are still not out of danger yet. Estimate we can crash land now to avoid the lake or we will glide longer for smooth land but the landing will be on the lake."

"I have better idea, we glide and the moment almost land on lake. Then, I will make a ice road so you can levitate on it until we land on a stable land."

"Good idea"

"Alright almost there"

----

"Why can't the lake water freeze?"

"What you buy is enable to control your own water only, produce by you. Not all the water around you. That need to be higher level and more crystal."

"So if I shoot my own water, I can freeze it even though it mix with other. water?"

"The lake water have no owner so yu can but if you shoot the water and mix with other people water who have same ability as you, then you have to fight for the control of the water."

"I see, tell me earlier you idiot. And what you mean by good idea?"

"I praising you height of your intelligent"

"...So what now?"

"Lake hor"

"We gonna crash, any idea?"

"I have, time to initiate submarine mode."

"You have??????!!"

"Just kidding"

"Ahhh, f**ker"

'Splash'

The train crash on the middle of the lake and start sinking after a while.

Zi Zen tried to do something but the ordeal just now make him too weak to do something. Tutu on the other start climbing into Zi Zen shirt and hide inside while shaking. All Zi Zen can do is watch the train sink slowly.

/After a while/

"Ehhh, why the water is not entering the train?"

"I have a barrier that prevent water from entering into me. It not only water, it will prevent anything I don't want to enter. For example, you."

"Not funny"

"If possible, but I can't do that to my owner and that furry too for some reason."

"Two question. Can you move under water?"

"Yes"

"Another one, I remember you have the float ability right? Why don't you use it"

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure"

"How do you withstand the pain just now and still have the strength to talk to me after all this time?"

"Hmmph??? ..... Argggggggh... You devil, you do this on purpose....Urghh"

Zi Zen fainted as his adrenaline ended.

"Hehe, I do this for your own good. Holding the pain and forcing to stay awake after using so much mental power will have negative effect on you in the future. Don't worry, just sleep. When you awake, you will be much more atronger in yoyr mental power than today. For the water pressure later on, I will resist with my power until you awake."

"Tutu" Tutu climb out of the shirt and start to nudge Zi Zen at the head.

"Tu, tu, tu?" Tutu face seem not underatand what happen but then decide to just take a nap on the fainted Zi Zen head. I remind him of his nest back home.

"For the remain crystal, I have to use it on the conceal. Something in me is making all the monster chasing us. Even if I float and reach land, samething will happen again. Now I can hide myself until thing settle down. I bet on the water surface, countless flying beast and water beast is searching for me. Going out is suicide."

" And one more thing, I cannot lose you. There no more people will want me. Not when I was the most weakest, dumb and useless train ever produce in the entire history of the production. Everything need to start from Zero. Unlike the other number train. All have superior stat on one of them. Some speed, some power, some hardness, some wisdom, and there one who bless by heaven. All stat are superior. While I only kèep in a store ready to scrap and recycle. If not for the attack on that day and explosion that wipe them all. I will not be around as the enemy who come to attack also doesn't want me. Then by luck I meet someone like you. Qualify to activate me, strong mental power enough to talk and not affect by any side effect. Great imagination, will not scare stiffless by monster that dangerous and most important. Have very strong willpower. Maybe the will to unite his family have made him like this."

----

"..."

"What?"

"I suspect that someone is talking to him but we cannot see from here. Or he talking to the furry."

"Looking at the way he talk, it not the furry"

"I guess we have to observe further"

"Wait, wait, wait, what both of you talking about?"

"Shut it you pervert, only look at girls"

"What? Granny, picking a fight?
