Inside the mechanics garage there was a single plant in the corner.
" Thats a space Oak tree, It has a weird power and an even weirder core."
I was stunned at his explanation.
" Don't act so childlike, I can see the Age in your eyes.
It must pain you to have been stuck Rebirthing into a child's core."
My eyes lit up.
" I am fine with it, but how can you tell?"
He walked to a table and picked up some parts Fiddling with them.
It's not hard for those who have Been through rebirth.
I am one such person, Except I was forced into it."
I looked at him in shock, I thought I was the only one?!
" Not the only one."
He guessed my thoughts.
" The world is large and the galaxy wide how could you be the only one?!"
His Face focused on the Parts as he shifted his hands quickly.
A small Propulsion system was built as he Assembled them he took out a crystal that was gold in color.
He tucked it into the slot on the small jet, as the tech whirring to life glowing a light yellow.
I felt my familiar As the energy from the Golden core drew it out.
Appearing beside me from my share realm the Spike ridden hedgehog surfaced with a Hung hung.
It nuzzeled my hand.
In my mind I heard a growl as next to it appeared a puppy it melted out of my shadow as the pups eyes Looked Menacingly at the Hedgehog.
The man looked at me Then at the familiar.
He pulled out two small stones one yellow and one Grey.
Both let off a white Aura, He tossed them on the ground and I heard crunching from my familiar on the left the little pup didn't hesitate.
The Hedgehog looked down at it and warily looked at the man.
It nudged my hand and looked at it once again.
" Eat it if he is offering for free Do not Fret, It is ruder to turn down a free meal than it is To apologize for eating it."
the familiar ate it with wonder as it looked around While Crunching down on the crystal.
" Plus we don't know when We will get another meal for free..."
The man looked at me and I felt his sharp gaze it made me look at the floor.
" I thank you for your kindness, But it is best I leave as to not ruin your Reputation..."
I Released the energy caused by the familiar asking them to return, They both had no arguments as they melded back to my share Realm.
I saw their Soul marks appear as rings around my fingers appeared.
" Reputation?
What could you do to mine that I haven't?"
I looked up but not into his eyes.
" I have a trash cultivation and Will always be looked down on...
That bad Reputation will bring anyone around me down?!"
I said that as I felt a pang in my chest.
He made no noise.
I took that as an affirmation before I began to exit the way I entered.
I was at the door but it didn't open for me.
The man Standing behind me spoke In a Low voice.
" It won't open for you.
You need my permission to leave, And I have not permitted you to do so.
If you want to leave Then wait until day.
Go get a shower Immediately, Sleep and tomorrow I will take you to make up with your parents.
No kid should wonder the street alone, Even one having gone through rebirth.
Just because you're older mentally means nothing in this place, Even at three hundred you would still be to young to say you experienced life. "
He spun around And went back to his work.
I was left standing alone.
I hadn't thought about it but I used the facilities.
I was tense and after relaxing...
I destroyed that restroom!
although that allowed me to see something awesome, I was leaving the restroom after a firm release and the whole restroom went Void.
Everything disappeared and it was just a grey walled room Empty as can be.
It flickered and returned back to its old Toilet, shower, and Sink.
I walked around and yawned which made the robot whirring around stop.
It approached before it crossed me?!
" Your Room is at the end of the hall Next to the gym, Don't touch something you cannot pay for.
Go to bed immediately, And do not disturb The Boss!"
The robot shooshed me into the room and I was then locked in?!
" What about the Toilet?!"
As if to answer me The wall on the rear opened as a whole restroom appeared.
I shut up and decided to sit on the bed.
It seems fatigue over took my body.
I laid back As a pillow formed it was just very soft.
I put my head to it and the next moment an alarm clock Rang out waking me up.
I was feeling pressure on my arm and one between my legs.
It seems ingot cold last night and was warmed by my Two familiar pals.
The Hedgehog was beside me with its head on my arm quils pointed outwards.
while the pup was between my legs like a dog laying in comfy bed it curled up.
I was just going to get up but I let them savor the moment before I realized...
I had not named them yet, Nor had I checked their connections to me.
The Notices in my mind still hung.
It was time to check my Familiars and these weird notices?!
the First familiar Whom is connected is the Hedgehog like creature.
Focusing on our connection I was shown its data through the Mannatech Femtomite machinery.
It's species name and information was:
' Albino Fox faced Four-toe Hedgehog.'
'Ten year old beast'
'Cub'
'Attribute- Light/fire.'
' Male'
' white rank '
' Unawakend '
That was the gist of it.
I was wondering about the Unawakend part but decided not to dwell on it for now.
I shifted my gaze away and the Information disappeared from the side I thought up The second Familiars information.
It once again showed me the information neatly.
The Species name and information was:
' Mutated aardwolf hyena'
'ten year old beast'
'Cub'
'Attribute - Water/ice/yin'
'Male'
'White rank'
'awakened - Bloodline Aardwolf.'
I was stunned when I saw the bloodline, I was able to get the Gyst of it.
The awakened Bloodline was its Pureness essentially, As it grows it should Grow to be more aardwolf than hyena Right?!
"But then does that mean it will lose its Hyena blood?"
I asked myself this but I honestly had no clue what was Going to happen?!
Focusing inward on the Notices, they read:
' STAR STRIDER CORE CREATED'
~share realm modifications~
' Station Realm Created '
'Void core Created '
~Void realm Distance too great~
' Ship Species Restrictions'
~Would you like to proceed? ~
Y|N¿¡
"I wonder what the proceedings would be?"
" Yes? "
Before I could regret my decision, I heard a soft voice...!?
" That is fine Captain, I shall proceed Modifications series beginning."
" Femtomite machinery calculating connection."
In a distorted voice I slowly Understood why it asked permission!?
My eyes grew blurred, My ears distorted as sound became static, And my senses Felt like I was numbed all over.
I fell to the floor from the edge of the bed, As I heard the distortion once again.
" Body modifications active, Femtomite machinery calculating upgrades."
" Birthing body from gathered materials,
Single Person pod Created,
Crew Request?!
1/2 gathered, Please gather your Second In command mechanic?!
Process of birthing cores contents held."
I heard it all but that didn't change the situation I was in !?
Body modifications?
And those machines the Femtomite machinery was helping this As if the Things Were made to kill me slowly?!
Thats Unimaginable?!
Why did this happen!?
what is this thats happening?!
Those were my last thoughts as I felt my Brain Pinch, it was as if I was forced to sleep?!
I had a dream That a man was walking down a ravine, He stood at the mouth as a flood of creatures washed out of the Ravine.
Spiders?!
The name projected into my mind as if Someone was showing me.
'bloody Faced Arachnids'
Millions washed out like a wave.
He moved his hand as A ship rose behind him...
The ships color shifted as the form changed it grew and folded as the ship became A massive form.
a cannon materialized in front of it as the man let his hand drop.
The ships color purple and Silver Turned completely black as the Ray Washed the ravine away arachnids and all?!
Nothing but a Crater miles long was left as the sound of Earth ripping apart rained into my mind.
The man spoke as if talking to me.
" Let this be a slight glimpse into your world ahead.
This companionship is insignificant.
This is a captaincy that brings cataclysmic events.
Although.
You shouldn't be here kid its years to soon for you to find the Core realms Terror.
No ones influence Should be able to Find you yet, but one day you will find yourself here.
And one day you will get to meet us only then should our influences touch you.
Until that day."
He looked me in the eyes with a deep stare.
" Wake Up!"
With that I snapped to.
I was in a tub with ice all around me.
It was cold And I jumped out of it only to find out I needed to go right back in.
I stood and immediately Began to burn?!
My body was literally steaming off which made me jump right back into the tub!?
" That is an issue I could solve..."
The man looked at me as I settled into the ice!
I looked down noticing my cloths were gone.
" Did you have to undress me?"
he looked at me.
" Nope, It was not me who Undress you."
The robot whirred into the room with another bucket of ice, Looking down on me it mumbled and dumped the ice on my head.
" The familiar with fire Attribute has had flame sickness and it seems You have contracted it with a fierceness.
The Femtomite should have plenty of room to regulate but they are bust with other things.
Question is who gave them the schematics to build these modifications and how long-term is this?
Will they be able to finish and save you from the flame sickness..."
I was lost on that as I looked to the man.
"So what do I do?"
He looked at me and raised a brow.
" Are you not a Rebirthing soul?!"
I glanced at him?!
" I am a rebirth but I am not of this world."
he raised both his brows in surprise as he huffed.
" Well one of Three ways.
one: eat Ice Crystal's With pure ice and yin energy.
Focus that power to cool the heating.
This can lead to energy explosion.
Two: Have that Second Familiars power encase you...
Although that creature has no talent since its Bloodline is muddled by an awakening.
It has Physical strength over mental.
thus has weak control over its Ability.
Three: cancel the the actions of the Femtomite.
Which can be worse than both the other options and cause the Femtomite machinery to fail.
You will piss it out with Quite a fury but You Will always keep going through the issue.
Let it finish now. "
The Little not Slid past me then spun around As I was about to speak.
I swear this robot is trying to kill me?!
It shoved a crystal into my mouth just as I was about to say something and I felt the crunch, Seconds after I felt Ice rush through my Throat.
My Soul pulsed as my heart Began to beat faster the Rythums.
They beat down on me but didn't match it was cold and Had a deep pulsing hum.
While my heart was like a wild drum.
I felt my soul realm shake as My mental realm Broke with the sound of glass.
The realm that I had yet to explore broke Apart as the energy Swelled up washing the Station realm away.
It was done over and over again as the sound of glass Resounded adding to the Out of sync Rythums.
It was painful but that little robot with its maniacal laughter shoved three more crystals down my throat.
I felt the same ice sensation for the first crystal as my realm was smashed over and over again.
every time it tore apart it was put back together through the energy.
The third stone that was shoved in my mouth made my Body Tighten like I was dunked in Dry ice?!
My body began to smoke with an eerie Blue smoke?!
I felt something in my souls shake as the Energy Mended with the cold feeling in my soul I felt the heat subside.
I circulated the energy as slowly as possible to make a difference in sensation one of balance?!
Yet as the balance Began To push through my Body shivered losing the sensation.
The feeling was replaced by a rush of Force as it assaulted my whole body.
The resounding of my soul Creaking as I felt the Strength of my soul rise I also felt my connection to my soul grow?!
These connections!!
These are my meridians!
I was hit with the last stone and This one was much larger as the sensation was deeper.
It began all over as my Meridians Felt like they were being purged through the Energy.
I smelled a foul odor Assault me along with the pain as each Point with a broken meridian Released a Small Flaming crystal.
They Literally burned through my skin.
The length of time made me feel like I was floating timeless.
But I don't think it was minutes?!
I was there for a long while even after I was finished With the procedure.
