The Destruction of Batana

THE CREATION OF MONSTER 2

The day passed quickly. I began to live my days normally. Although Ador hasn't given me a new bionic body yet. So you can imagine. I still use one hand for activities. My two bionic legs greatly hampered my activities. I feel like I'm the best of the other kids.

Until the fifth day after leaving the treatment room, Ador finally gave me a new bionic body. A boy told me to come to Ador's room. I wasted no time and rushed to the call. It is very difficult to do activities with just one hand. It's only natural that you don't rush once you get the call.

Ador chuckled as soon as he saw me coming in sweat. “I'm sure that bionic leg must make you much more tired, right?”

I'm shaking. “No, coke. This is just like the usual feet.” I deliberately lied.

“If you think it's like a regular foot, it means I don't need to replace it, right?” Ador smiled smirkingly. Intentionally wanted to upset me.

I'm just smiling. “But Ador himself said he would replace it last time. Promise is promise.”

Ador laughed out loud and showed a shiny new bionic hand and foot. No, it's not shiny. More like human skin, it's just a little transparent. I can tell if the texture of the coating is soft but strong just by looking at it. In its segments there is a glittering orange light. The orange light then flows like a blood stream throughout the system in the outermost layer. The circuits make tissue like veins in the real body.

“This is better than your previous bionic body. I'm sure one hundred percent if this body is very close to the human organs of motion. I assembled it as complicated as possible. The skeleton of his bones even I form like a real human skeleton. I give you a synthetic layer that resembles human skin but still anti-scratch. And again, this bionic body can feel vibrations and textures. You could say this is my best invention. Should we try it now?”

I'm nodding. Ador begins to remove all the old binoic body parts and replace them with new ones. It took about two hours for all the parts to be installed properly and correctly. Unlike the previous bionic body, this new part has a complicated locking system so that it does not easily detach and completely fuse with my body. Ador allowed me to try to move this new bionic body. I started trying.

It feels so different. I started to stand up and move my legs. I barely used my mind to move some parts. This is awesome! It feels like this bionic body is fusing with my soul. How Ador made it such a mystery. Again, I have to admit, he was an amazing scientist.

“Now, try pressing your upper arm.”

I nodded and followed his mane. Pressing the left side of my arm. Suddenly the synthetic skin was lifted and opened. A battery with a light orange color. The battery is hexagon-shaped with a layer of crystal tub. The cables and each circuit network are attached to the battery. I'm sure that's the power source of this bionic body.

“From now on you no longer need to recharge the battery on your bionic body with electricity. Because this battery has a recharge system that is able to make it charge automatically. It absorbs a kind of natural static electrical energy that is all around us. The trigger could be from anywhere. Even from our own bodies. However, he will also give energy to your body so you no longer need to bother charging manually. So, use it as best as you can.”

Now I know what mysterious object is in Ador's secret room. Cuboid objects with orange color and have hexagon-shaped strokes on the surface. It is a source of energy. But the system is different from other sources of energy. The cube absorbs the electrical energy that resides around the laboratory. Energy can come from anywhere. Even when it rained yesterday with lightning striking was a big meal for the cube. If Ador kept it for years, I'm sure the cube has stored a huge amount of energy. If I assume, the cube has the power equivalent to a nuclear bomb capable of destroying a country. I'm pretty sure someday I can take the cube.

“Ah, I almost forgot. The bionic body is equipped with a thin shield that is able to reflect objects. Now try you follow me.” Ador moved and waved his hand. Told me to follow him.

We're back in the simulation room. Ador put some objects like a baseball catcher. All the tools are laid out in rows.

“Zenzen, try to raise your right hand towards the front while opening your palm wide. Imagine you are wiping a piece of cloth.”

I nodded in understanding. Opening my palm while imagining rubbing a cloth. Suddenly I felt my hands tremble a little. Then a transparent hexagon-shaped hologram appears with an orange color. I don't know what the hologram's function is.

“It was just a hologram. But it's just a marker of which parts of the body will be protected. The hologram is a visualization of the shield that is currently protecting you. But the shield cannot be seen with the naked eye. The shield is composed of strong waves that are able to throw an object. This time I will try it out using a rounder. Make sure you don't move. It can affect the wave. If there is the slightest doubt, I can break the wave and cancel the shield.”

Again I understand. I don't know why I'm so excited this time. It was like having an immeasurable new toy. I'm staying concentrated. Ador is right. I could feel the waves flowing through every circuit in my right hand.

Ador started swinging the bat. I try to stay focused. As soon as the baton touched the orange hologram, it broke and was thrown into the wall of the room. I was almost surprised by what I just saw.

“As I said, the wave is capable of reflecting an object. What say?”

I'm nodding. “Really genius.” I said briefly.

Ador patted the jidat. “God... I can't believe a twelve-year-old like you just said that.”

“It is precisely because my age is still twelve that makes me only think short.” I'm adding.

Ador laughing. “ Then we continue for the next session. This time you can emit that shield wave from multiple directions. It's just that you can't do that continuously. Wh why? Because it will be very fast to spend your energy. Yeah, though it's not as fast as you might think. So do you want to try it?”

“Alright, the way is almost the same as before. But this time you have to imagine being caressed by the fabrics around you. Choose which point you want to protect while still holding your hand forward.”

I started following his instructions. Calm my mind while imagining myself surrounded by a few pieces of cloth. Silent. Nothing happened. Even the shield wave that was in front of me was now gone.

“Not so. You should feel your entire body being wrapped by a cloth that is blowing in the wind.”

I tilt my head. I don't understand the meaning of his words at all.

Ador explained in detail. “Alright, it looks like you won't understand if I explain it imaginaryly. Let's move on to logical explanation. Your whole body is now connected by a kind of tissue I call WAVE. WAVE is moved by a push from your mind. From that impulse is created a very strong electromagnetic wave throughout your body that produces a collision that then forms a kind of tube in the area around your body. Therefore I named it ‘WAVE’ or in our language which means waves. Waves can be very dangerous depending on how strong a wind blows. The wind here I liken to your mind while the waves are the magnetic flow created from the impulse of your mind. Now you just need to push your mind and stream it through a wireless network connected to your real body. Thus you can create a tube that will protect you from various directions. But you shouldn't push your mind too hard either. Because it will only make the wave becomes irregular.”

I swallowed spit. That explanation sounds complicated. How can I push my mind without forcing it? Well, there's no harm if I try. Pushing without forcing. Didn't I often do it while I was running a marathon with Bastian. Maybe I can apply that method of focusing my mind calmly. Deadly as a wave.

I took a deep breath. Trying to sense every energy flowing through the ins and outs of my bionic body. After I was sure I could throw off the energy, I pushed my mind slowly as I imagined the rubbing of cloth around me but with the position of the hand still looking forward. Slowly but surely, my surroundings began to be filled with orange holographic light with a hexagon-sized form of an adult's palm. I stayed concentrated and pushed my mind periodically. Ador exclaimed stifled. I'm sure he's also tensed waiting for the results of this exercise. Waiting expectantly.

Slowly, the longer the hexagons get bigger. There are five hexagon holograms now circling my body. One on the front. One on the right, one on the left, one on the back and the last on the top. When the hexagons were about the size of an umbrella, Ador cried out in joy. I am amazed by this result.

Ador came to me running. But he forgot that my body was still shrouded by the waves of the shield. As a result, he fell and fell on the floor. I quickly deactivated the shields and approached them.

“Ador, are you okay?”

Ador grimaced for a moment. “I thought you'd make it, son!” he cheered cheerfully.

I rolled my eyeballs. Besides why he was so stupid to come up to me when I was almost perfect to make the shields cover my entire body. Now I have to repeat everything from the beginning and I'm not sure I'll be able to do it exactly the same as before.

Ador hugged me with excitement. I just put on a flat face while Ador exclaimed like a madman. He even performed the celebration by surrounding the room while holding both hands up. He really looked like a child running around chasing a kite. I just rolled my eyeballs.

“You saw that, huh? I am Ador, who is a genius! Ahaha! Surely ‘kau’ will never be able to plagiarize my work on this one!”

I'm gaping. I have never seen this side of Ador. I just shake my head. My mind was filled with astonishment.

“Ador, can we continue?” I disturbed his joy.

Ador who was sitting on the side of the room while raising both his hands was silent. He looked at me and stood up again. He cleared his throat for a moment. Patting his lab coat and justifying his slanted glasses then walked up to me. He also had time to wipe his messy hair and try to tidy it up again. I was embarrassed to see him act like that.

“Ehem, can you forget what you saw earlier?” Ador scratched his head which was not itchy.

“It looks like it won't be able to. I'm sure what I just saw will be my nightmare tonight.”

Ador looked down for a moment. “OK, your words sounded piercing once. We'll continue for the next session. This time you should be able to hold the balls that will be shot towards you. You're enough to make shields like that. Try to focus, if for example today you do not show significant development, we will continue next week.”

“Eh, why wait a week?”

“The first reason I mentioned earlier was an energy issue. Making a shield in large quantities will drain a lot of energy. But let's put that aside. The second reason is your health. As you know, the trigger for the wave is from your mind. If you use your mind too much, it can cause pain in your brain. Therefore if you fail to do this session, we should continue next week.”
