Moros of Thanatos: V

<[ EPS. 15 - CLONING V ]>

V who saw what Aldrich was doing got more and more frightened. He was afraid that Aldrich would eventually find out about his condition that was different from other humans. She fears her abnormality leads Aldrich to decide to throw her away.

V frantically asks Aldrich not to take him anywhere because he just wants to be in his room. He needed no one but Aldrich so he begged Aldrich to stay by his side.

Aldrich granted V's request, he rescinded his order and now lies at his little girl's side. She could still feel the tremors in the little girl's body though it wasn't as severe as the first time she hugged her. V slowly began to fall asleep because he was tired with this day. Aldrich helped her pull the blanket higher while putting her long hair in there.

Shortly after V fell asleep Lynelle Ellair barged into room V with her anxious face. His shrieking voice made V wake up from his sleep, he held Aldrich's coat tighter than ever for fear. She even hid her face deeper in fear that Lynelle would notice a strange change in her.

Aldrich understood V's fear and explained to Lynelle that for now V did not want to meet anyone but her. Aldrich's explanation certainly makes Lynelle not accept because he feels that a mother will better understand what is needed by her child.

Aldrich and Lynelle engage in a heated debate in V's room. They are not willing to give up on each other's arguments, occasionally looking for loopholes to drop their opponent's arguments.

Aldrich was given a headache by Lynelle's arguments, many times he thought of taking out his ace but again he undone because he knew Lynelle would be very hurt later.

V was quite panicked as the longer Aldrich got pushed around by Lynelle, this was the first time he feared her Papa would lose an argument with her Mom. His panic was replaced with tension that instantly changed the atmosphere in the room. Aldrich turned off Lynelle's argument by alluding to what happened to her six years ago.

"V is currently being attacked by her trauma, try to understand to give her space. If you understand you can get out now." Aldrich closed his sentence ending the war of arguments between them.

Lynelle did not say much anymore she looked at V for a moment before finally coming out of the room. While Aldrich let out a long sigh, dealing with women is indeed a matter of draining energy and soul.

"You look like a fourteen-year-old today while a few minutes ago you were a nine-year-old boy. You need to hide for a while, your rapid growth in just a few minutes won't be acceptable to the common man."

V's heart rate grew louder to hear Aldrich's words, timidly asking "A-pa Papah will throw me away?"

V's question made Aldrich look at his little girl, not sure what he had to do to get V to really get rid of his stupid thoughts, "Son! What the hell are you thinking? You're my precious treasure."

V stared fixedly at the owner of the blue eyes looking for lies in his words, but he did not find it there was only determination in it. "Where then does Papah want to take me?"

"My personal island, you don't have to prepare anything because all your needs will be prepared there."

Aldrich was again busy with an earpiece in his ear. He gave many orders to his men to prepare everything they needed. It doesn't take an hour for everything they need to be ready.

Lynelle, who sees Aldrich suddenly carrying V while preparing a helicopter on the runway behind their house, continues to pursue Aldrich asking for an explanation. But Aldrich just asked him to stay home. Until the helicopter that carried them disappeared in the air Lynelle still did not know what had happened.

•✌•✌•✌•

Aldrich and V have arrived on Black Iron island. A private island located far enough from Weiss even became the border between the kingdom of Prussia and the kingdom of Obelion belonging to neighboring countries, but still included in the territory of the city of Weiss.

V was initially quite calm the first time they came, but panic broke out as Aldrich led him into a large room where every wall and door was made of glass. His heart rate was racing as he saw the number of holographic LEDs in the room displaying a particular chart of molecules. The assumption is reinforced by the number of test tubes that already contain various kinds of solutions in it.

V can also see the condenser tube connected with the distillation flask that is on top of the combustion. No doubt the room he was passing through was a laboratory. Ia certainly will not be unfamiliar with this place because his parents often provide some illustrations about their workplace.

Aldrich took V into a more isolated space with the activities of scientists. When he first entered the scene he saw was a folding gurney. After Aldrich put it on the gurney automatically the silver hands immediately spread out, some of them put the face cover on the V and some of them put a needle into his body.

V tried to avoid the hands approaching his body but suddenly appeared an automatic belt that tied both hands and feet. In the process of installing tools, some previously hidden tools slowly reveal themselves. V clasped Aldrich's coat tightly, not wanting to let go for fear.

"Relax V, Papah swears what Papah did wasn't to hurt you" Aldrich said trying to calm V down.

"No. I want to go home, Papah. I want to go home. Papah, I promise I won't complain of pain anymore. I won't ask you to come home soon while working. I will study hard to make my grades perfect. Papah, I want to go home." lamented V to persuade Aldrich to take him home.

Aldrich again tried to persuade V to calm down but V did not calm down even more panicked. Of course he would panic after he realized the gas inhaled by him was not oxygen gas. He desperately endured his drowsiness because he knew they would find his strange illness if he slept.

Almost half an hour of V is not affected by anesthetic gas. Doctor Gomer and some of his teammates were surprised by V, but he had already increased the dose but V did not go to sleep.

"Gomer, if you keep increasing the dose I won't hesitate to smash your head." Aldrich's angry bluff at the sight of the numbers in the anesthesia machine keeps growing. "Replace with oxygen right now! It's been a half hour asshole!"

Aldrich did not wait for Gomer's doctor to finish his sentence, he had already turned off the anesthetic machine.

"Fuck, I..."

"V, sleep don't fight anymore. If you're afraid Papah will keep you company until it's over."

"All right, Papah must accompany me." V finally closed his eyes to sleep.

After V fell asleep the silver hands came back out releasing medical devices attached to V's body. The belt that had held his legs and hands was also released. They replaced V's faceplate with a different faceplate than before.

"Suckers! Goddamn bum!" aldrich grumbled as he beat the wall continuously restraining his anger at the sight of Gomer's doctor staff taking V to the test lab.

"Duke, relax. At least Young Miss would only think she was operated on for the sake of healing her illness."

"Which parent is willing to see his son become the subject of a scientist experiment so-called events like you!" furious Aldrich.

"Come, Duke. You know for yourself that the purpose of this experiment is for the good of Young Miss right? Don't position me like I'm the antagonist here."

"Suckers! I gave you permission to make a V clone, are you so stupid that you still can't identify it? I'm starting to feel sorry for wasting so much of my money on your fucking research!"

Gomer knew sooner or later that piercing sentence was going to come out of Aldrich's mouth, only that he still did not dare to express the real problem. Ia is very confident Aldrich will explode if he knows the truth so he still continues to undo it while looking for a way out without having to involve Aldrich.

Doctor Gomer understands Aldrich's anger but he is also powerless to face the dead end of his research. Ia also did not want to use V's original body only to test the overall influence of the foreign cells in the lab but she had no other choice if she wanted to get the final results from her research.

So he could only hold back his eardrum receiving a high wave of Aldrich's voice that was so deafening to his ears. He even felt that soon the small blood vessels in his ears would rupture.

"Duke, you know for yourself that I still lack experts" explained Gomer's doctor trying to find an excuse, anyone must not want to be the object of scapegoats continue.

"Oh what other experts on the unit do you think are lacking, heh?!" challenge Aldrich. "Should I cut down on some of your research topics so you wouldn't be overwhelmed by your time?"

"Duke?!" to Gomer's astonishment, he did not expect Aldrich to suppress him in such a manner. Removing their research project was tantamount to taking their lives.

"You need another hundred years to trick me, even if you're alive, you're a fucking kid." - Aldrich, "You're not hiding anything from me, are you?"

Doctor Gomer sighed, nodding his head. "About cloning Miss V there really is a problem, Duke."
