On our way to DC, I decided to do a little.. tinkering.
"Hey, I'm going to go to rest. Heroing makes me tired."
Gwen: "Rub it in will you."
"If I am. It's only a bounce."
I went to the back and closed the curtain.
'Okay. Let's hope this works.'
'Hey. It worked.' I stared at two other me's.
The two clones turned into Grey Matter as I put my wrist on the bed.
Then the two Grey Matter's started to tinker with it.
About 2 hours later, the watch started to glow green.
Grey Matter 1: "Where we trying to do that?"
Grey Matter 2: "Let's hope we didn't break it on the second day."
"You better not of."
The watcher stopped glowing and changed its form.
(pic.)
The Grey Matter's turned back into me, then Echo-Echo.
I turned into Echo-Echo and we all merged back into one, then I turned back into me.
Fuse:
I opened up the watch to see the new option that was available to me. I hit the button then picked the suit option and from the watch, a Nanite suit formed.
{Image.}
'Why did it change form?" - 'It finally singed with the system.'
'I see.' I looked down at the suit. 'Not bad. I might tinker with it later.'
I yawned.
'I think it's time for me to actually go to sleep.'
.
During our trip to the grocery store, we had an unwanted visitor.
Gwen: "Are you gonna just stand there doing nothing or will you help me get some normal food? 'Cuz lemme tell you: I've seen what grandpa is buying, and I'm not eating that!"
I looked around the corner, just waiting for him to show up. "Yeah, give me a second."
I looked back at the shelves and took a few things off when there was a loud boom and screaming.
'There you are.'
"I'll keep creepy animal guy busy. Help get people to safety." - "How do you know what's going on?"
"Because I have eyes. Look."
I pointed at the huge hole in the wall and in front of it was a huge frog with a man on it.
Gwen: "Oh. You sure?"
I looked at Grandpa.
Grandpa: "He has it. Let's make sure everyone is safe."
I activated the suit, then turned into
I went invisible and flew right up behind him.
Animo: "What are you doing… give me that back."
The mutated Frog suddenly turned and started to jump away from the store.
I grabbed the helmet with one hand and punched him off the frog with the other.
I jumped off myself while looking at the Helmet with a smile.
"Take away the helmet, and you have no control… and I'm taking to someone who's knocked out."
I heard some sirens. "That's my sign to leave."
.
After they got back to the RV we decided to go to another Grocery store before heading to the Lakefront.
.
Once we arrived at the lake I got a choice again.
Fuse: < Hope no one gets hurt and deal with it as it comes. Reward. 0 points.>>
'Do I really have a choice?' I snuck off to the bathroom and made a Ghost Freak POV.
Once I went through the wall. I flew into the water where I turned into 'Okay. Now where are those scavenger's base.'
I picked a direction and moved.
Luckily the lake wasn't too big so it didn't take me too long to find it.
I started to craw up the ladder and turned back into me.
I snuck up against the building and listened in to hear them inside Discussing, what they should do to get the eggs.
I played with the watch and put on my suit.
Two blue mana rodes formed in my hands.
'I've never really fought like this before. First time for everything.'
I jumped through the window and hit the guy closest to me.
'One down.'
I jumped and hit another before they started to fire at me.
My left hand's rod changed into a shield then I advanced.
When I got close my right-hands rod changed into a whip that wrapped around the person in front of me legs. I yanked him to the left into the one next to him.
I continued this until they all were down.
I smiled and wiped my hands together. "Easy."
I carried all of them to a post, that I used to tie them together on.
I looked around and luckily for me, they had a computer and printer.
I changed into I printed them all out and put them on the ground not too far away from them with a note saying. "I'm sorry. I printed out all my criminal deeds. I hope this helps."
Happy with my work. I turned into I swam down to the bottom of the lake to find the huge monster.
I swam close and she looked at me wearyly, but she didn't attack.
"Good, huge monster. I'm not going to harm you."
I turned back into me and tried to copy her DNA.
Fuse: "DNA does not match requirements for sampling."
'You sure?' - "I don't make the requirements. I just enforce them."
'You're no fun.'
I looked up to see the monster looking at me.
"Umm.. be good, and.. you're welcome." After that failure, I decided I should get back before I time out. I don't know how long I have yet. So, to make sure I don't drown, I swam back to the main body.
Luckily we were connected, so my main body went to the bathroom. That's when we merged back together.
"Awe. That seemed too easy." I looked at the watch and it was red. 'Well. Good thing I don't need to go hero for any reason maybe it's because I switched so much?'
I stepped out of the bathroom to find Grandpa. "Hey, Ben. Want to go fishing with me?"
"You going now?" - "Yeah. I rented a boat for us."
"Then sure. Is Gwen going?" - "No. I believe she wants to sunbathe."
"Her loss." - "I agree."
"Let me change and I'll meet you by the lake."
He looked at my wrist. "Do I want to know?" - "No. everything's taken care of."
"Just." He sighed. "You just got it. Remember it's not a toy."
"I know. Thanks, Grandpa."
He smiled as he walked away.
I looked out the window at the lake and smiled. 'I definitely won't have a boring summer. A few days in, and I've already run into interesting creatures.
