Chereads / Sentient Core / Chapter 52 - Sounds like a plan.

Chapter 52 - Sounds like a plan.

Going down the hill with glass containers, were Jasmine, Xadia, Tyson and Jake. And Jake was beginning to make a length gap from the group.

"Hey wait up". Tyson said, he ran towards Jake.

"Hey muscle head, why are you rushing down the lake, this isn't a place we can just rush into, we have to be a little cautious".

"At the end we'll reach the lake, so, catch you later". Jake said, he then ran towards the lake.

"You're on". Tyson shouted.

Tyson siphoned his familiar and it latched onto his back and out came his energy tentacles, and he rushed towards the lake going father than Jake was.

"You guys you need to conserve your energy, and they're not listening to me, boys right?". Jasmine slid her palm from her head to her eyes, her glasses rested on her nose.

"Eeerr, I'm a boy". Xadia informed.

"Oh yeah, you're not Ivy, those two are very energetic". Jasmine commented.

They soon reached the lake and Jasmine bent to examine the lake.

"Nice passive, I knew you were strong, so about that duel, it's a plan right?". Jake asked.

"Yh sure". Tyson replied, his face devoid of emotions.

Xadia went to Tyson's side, he placed his right arm on his shoulder and dragged him a meter away from the others.

"I thought you said, your familiar had a chance of taking control of your body, you can't lose control here, so why the hell are you using your familiar". Xadia asked.

"It's fine, I'm not going to lose control, I don't know what that serum those second-years injected us with, but it was able to suppress my familiar's energy, I can control it now. It also advanced my core, I'm now at the deep red stage". Tyson widened his teeth in admiration.

"Really!!, I guess that serum is that powerful, you were able to advance your core, I was able to take over his body, I think they completed their goal, but they used us for experiments, their methods were just illicit". Xadia acknowledged.

'He was able to level up his core, he's a siphon and it affected him that way, it affected me too, then maybe I'm something like a siphon'. Xadia denoted.

"Huh what do we do with this". Jake asked holding up the glass in his left hand.

"We use it to read the constituents of the water, like this". Jasmine demonstrated..

She drew water from the lake, it was filled with impurities, but it wasn't impossible to purify. The glass then began to glow and a holographic screen could be seen by the side of the glass wall. It displayed a graph chart of the constituents in the water, the concentration, parameter, trace elements and impurities.

"Wow, lemme guess you made this by yourself". Tyson asked.

"No I didn't, this is Mr. Luthor's design, this is one of his inventions, an info glass, neat right?". Jasmine exclaimed.

Jasmine then tapped on the constituents, the interface soon changed and a diagram of a constituent could be seen, it's state of matter was solid, it looked like a sandy material, and it was teal in color, the name of the constituents was lithium.

By the side of the constituents information was an icon that read heat signatures, and Jasmine clicked on it, the interface changed and a wide amount of color red could be seen, the percentage could then be seen and it read eighty seven percent.

"Wow, this is incredible a success rate of eighty seven percent, this is stunning, if I could coagulate this I might be able to, electricity sixty seven, it's more potent than the one from earth, that explains the color and heat signatures, this is exciting". Jasmine shrieked, she couldn't contain her excitement, she then noticed that three stares were darted towards her.

"Why are ya'll looking at". Jasmine asked.

"You're acting weird". Jake replied.

"Oh, I didn't notice". Jasmine smiled.

"Why are you so excited". Xadia asked.

"This water as lithium as it constituents, it has a high electricity output, and it's more powerful than the one found on earth".

"How is that exciting". Tyson asked.

"With it I can make an energy crystal for the tent, I was thinking since we might be here for some time, that maybe I can find an alternative for the dome's power, it's currently using some saved up electricity supply, it would have to be recharged, and we can't do that, but with this, an energy crystal although not very powerful will be able to run the dome for two days, I just have to coagulate the lithium in this lake". Jasmine explained.

"Can the crystal be enough for Ivy to transport us back to school". Tyson asked.

"No, it's not that powerful for that, we're five, it has a probability of failing, it might just transport three of us, we wouldn't want to leave anyone behind, would we" She continued, "And don't forget that this place is quite foreign, and probably not in our solar system, and since the spell book disappeared, there's no returning to save anyone, I wouldn't even risk it".

"Huh that's okay, that's doesn't sound so good, forget I asked, we'll go with your satellite plan". Tyson agreed.

"You really thought to bring up an idea, you must be really stressed out". Jake teased.

"Why are you so cool, we're in a world we don't understand, everything's strange and eerie and you asking if I'm stressed. For the first time I can't feel my twin, yes I'm very worried". Tyson exclaimed.

"You're freaking out this much, and you're aspiring to be an hunter. For me this is an experience we can learn from, to put your survival skills to a test and also hunt creatures like beast, it's a one time experience". Jake shared.

"No wonder you're like this, it's fun to you, isn't it". Tyson accused.

"Can you please stop, is he always like this". Jasmine asked Xadia.

"Well he's always energetic, yes he's like this". Xadia compared.

"I need to study this mineral, so I'll be heading back to the dome, since you have the info glass, why don't you collect the minerals around this place, any interesting material".

"And since we're looking for food, this is a lake there's bound to be lake creatures here, so I want you guys to hunt anyone you see, some creatures maybe more dangerous and interesting".

All creatures have a form of defense, it might be toxins, or parental defense, so you should treat any creature you find like a Savage beast, and also stay around the lake".

"That sounds like a plan". Jake grinned.

"When you said creatures, does the tree creature count". Tyson asked.

"Yes, it's a creature after all". Jasmine replied.

"In that case, I'll be handling the gathering of minerals around the lake, Xadia and Jake can do the creature part". Tyson announced.

"Do you guys agree". Jasmine

"I guess so". Xadia answered, Jake nodded.

"Great, I have Nitrile gloves for you all, for picking up chemicals and minerals, it is insulated and it resists extreme high and low temperature, it also can resist hazardous elements". Jasmine explained, she then brought the gloves out and distributed them.

Xadia held the glove on his palm, it was black in color, and it looked like the material it was made form made it stretchy and thick at the same time

"I don't think I'll be wearing it now, when we hunt creatures, I'm going to need my palms free, so I can claw energy at the air, uhm you haven't seen my power, I need my hands free of any material when I fight". Jake claimed.

"Don't worry about that, you can wear it like a watch, it's rune spell, so when you think of wearing it as a watch, you place it on your wrist and think about it, it then wraps around it". Jasmine explained.

Following the instructions Jake confirmed Jasmine's explanation, it worked exactly like she explained.

"Cool, this works" Jake complimented.

"Well then you're all good to go, remember don't go far from the dome and the lake, to avoid being lost, later bromies". Jasmine said.

"Don't ever say that again, bromies?, that was cringe, have you ever heard that before". Tyson mocked.

"Bromies, cause you're bro's, can't use homies, cause we're not anywhere near home right now, so yeah bromies, any ways later". Jasmine elaborated, she then ran up the hill.

"We're doing minerals first, so you can accompany us Tyson, you can't stay here when we're up the hill, so we're doing minerals first". Xadia informed.

"Yeah that's fine, I guess Jasmine forget, we can't be separated, that would be bad, nice thinking". Tyson complimented.

"Let's get it over with" . Jake pumped with energy.

And just like Jasmine explained how to activate the Nitrile, it soon shifted back to it's gloves shape, and they started the task.
