Route stabilished… Ship Inbound … Preparing for hyper jump…
Being able to fly was one of the most amazing achievements that Houri has ever had, he could cross entire distances in just minutes, few the wind on his face and his hair, the speed and adrenaline, the rush of being able to fly and maneuver thru the air was really something else.
Flying on a ship however, was something completely different from the feeling of flying with his ki. The Specter had no windows and no other means of outside view besides the sensors and cameras all around the hull, that and the little push and the pressure of the newly gained speed when the ship jumped to space sure made Houri almost throw up. It was weird, unnatural, but who could criticize him, after all, he had spent all his life flying with his energy, not with machines, that would take some long time to get the hang of that, but until then, he would rather let the autopilot take over and do most of the job conducting the ship to Earth.
It was something so strange to be the captain of his own ship, of course, he had no crew, after all Beau did not counted as a crew member, she was more like a companion to him and it was being different getting used to her. She now after two days of travel had grown considerably, from the size of a german shepperd to the size of a Saint Bernard. The speed of the development was incredible, and not only that, Beau had a thing in her eyes, her gaze was full of kindness and love when she looked at him, as if he was the greatest thing in the world for her. Also when he tried to do anything around the ship, from cleaning to eating, showering and even training, she was beside him, never more than a few meters away and always with the curious and wondrous look in her eyes, as if fascinated by his doings.
At first he would just look and try to figure out what she was doing, however, as the days went on, Houri started to get used to his companion. He even started talking with her and telling about what he had lived and experienced from his life at the wastelands to the life at the base with Nakiya and Vulpeca.
What came after the talk sessions however was not just a surprise, was completely unexpected, as Beau looked in his eyes, he could feel her mind reaching out to him and talk to him in a sweet and calm voice welcoming him and assuring him of their bond. That made him chuckle as he would engage from that day on in conversations about her, her powers and what kind of things she could do, and not only that, Houri even learned of her abilities to shift into a more humanoid form, one that could move more freely around the base, and one that could train with him.
With that on his mind, Houri took his new friend and partner to the cargo hold where his plans of training were about to begin. As soon as Houri entered the new training area, he spoke to the computer.
- Please Specter, set the gravity to thirty times the one from planet Vegeta please, I will be training from here on with Beau here, so, keep the coordinates and let me know if any event might happen. –
- Affirmative sir, please do be careful, the gravitational pressure can cause damage if one is not used to it. –
- Thank you Specter, that will be all, I appreciate the concern…-
As the gravity machine had his sequence initiated using thirty times the gravity from planet Vegeta, both he and Beau almost fell to their knees, and upon that, he could only smile and state his amusement. The weights on his armor and the gravity pushed his body down to the point here he had to burn a bit of energy to keep on his feet. Beau however, was now in a difficult situation, she had enough power to stay up and if things got worse she could use her form altering abilities to revert to her base form, the dragon one.
Houri however stated as he began to do a warm up exercise while speaking with his companion.
- So Beau, I do not really know what to say to you, I mean what do we do from here on? I am a bit confused it is my first time with this. -
With that, Beau laughed as she would only sit on the ground to endure the gravity and would speak with her arms crossed and only one eye opened in a playful but kind tone to her voice while looking at Houri.
- Well my boy, It is not like I have a lot of experience too, I do have an huge pool of knowledge that you can have access too if you want, just ask me, but In matters of practice, well, I wasn’t born yesterday, but a I am just a few days old, so my boy. So, well my boy, you are the one that can decide what is next, I am free as you have made me, but I made my decision to be with you for all of my life the moment you spoke to me in that tank.
Beau had his attention, even while on training Houri was all ears to what she had to say, and while was true that she had made a decision to follow and be loyal to him he still wondered if that was what her true will about the matter. Even before he could speak, she said while still on her corner.
- I promise you this, I will always guide you and help you and I will not let anyone take advantage of you. And thanks to that red haired woman’s database, I know plenty of stuff. Political machinations, economy, locations about planets, you name it my dear, I know it, besides, I am a dragon, or at least the second best thing after it.
With that, Houri chuckled again and after finishing his warm up session started to really do some training, at first, it were only simple concentration skills. It all revolved around holding his power at a steady pace, using his ki to fly in circles, doing all he could to sustain his stamina level while trying to adapt his body to the new gravity threshold while talking to her.
- I did what I could to give you the ability to choose your destiny, your life, so, I just want you to do things that really make you happy and that you feel like doing it. I will not make you call me master, or any other name, call me whatever you like ok? –
Indeed was hard for him to speak while circling the area on the cargo bay, however Beau could understand the boy perfectly fine, and with a sweet smile, got down on the floor while speaking.
- Well, I will choose what to call you depending on the situation, ok? And I am quite sure of my decisions my boy, worry not, I am doing this all due to your actions, you have earned my loyalty, you do not need to demand it. –
Houri was amazed by her words, the way she spoke, confident, spirituous, determined. Beau was far more than he could expect her to be, it never occurred to him how much potential did she had, at first he only thought about the functions, the Dna and the abilities she might possess, it never occurred to him how that would play out or even how she would behave, her personality and identity.
Was that what Nakiya’s research was all about? That’s how it felt to create life and to be able to actually change something in the universe? He felt like a creator, like he had no actual limit about what he could do with that power, and at that moment it hit him, a power like that, it had to be used with care and responsibility.
And to his surprise, Beau was looking straight at him as if she could tell everything that was happening in his young mind, she was there, smiling kindly looking at the boy while he did pushups while upside down and only using his fingers and his ki focused on them to defy the impending gravity. She spoke after long moments of silence with a small but precise comment.
- I assume you are thinking about me, dear? -
Indeed he was, he wondered at some point what she could actually do, she was reading his mind, or was it just a natural empathy towards him? Was that a sign from their bond getting stronger these past few days? It was different, unexpected to have someone know him so well in just a matter of days. Of course, that display made him think if he was plain on his personality, or even on his thoughts, and as his training developed from Pushups to now avoid the laser shot from the various drones around the cargo hold while trying to turn them off without destroying them with just a small ki blast.
His training now focused more restraint and control over the amount of power he could put out, but among the training, a conversation was developing with the pair, even if Houri would end up getting hit several times due to diverting his attention.
- Am I that plain? I mean I was wondering about what I did, this power, to create life, to give life to something completely new and to be able to actually change the world. To be able to do that without losing yourself in ambition, what a challenge… And worse, I think there is no right way to use this.
- Indeed my dear not that you are plain, but you are still young and do not have much experience or knowledge over some areas, but in time you will
have, but I do agree with what you said about the power of creation.
- Responsibility is needed, but to measure the outcome of your actions, is impossible, at least the true outcome, before that we can only imagine the possibilities that lay ahead of us. For some what may seem as orderly and normal as possible is complete chaos for others, bear that in mind, what is normal for the spider is terrifying to the fly. Keep in mind though, that most of the people will not understand what you do and even more will probably hate you out of spite just because you can achieve things others cannot.
Was that too much to take in? All that knowledge, that instruction, the way she taught him how to reflect about his actions? He did not knew, the only thing he knew was that all the training and talking sure were making him feel tired, the gravity sure took its toll on his body, however, he still wanted to push himself a bit harder and changed again the routine to a series of sidesteps at his full speed, and even so he was getting tired he still managed to talk with Beau for a bit longer.
- I am glad to be able to talk to you, I can learn more this way, and it beats talking to myself all alone. Makes me feel less prone to insanity haha, still, I wish I could do more with this power, change the face of planet Vegeta for instance.
Despite the topics becoming more varied with the ideas flowing between them, Houri now changed again his training, feeling the body getting heavier with every punch and kick he threw in the air, the kid decided it was time for him to use his special and while talking and listening to Beau his energy began to grow bright blue and to circle his body, he was using the initial release as Beau talked to him giving him further knowledge and more material to reflect upon.
- Oh my boy and how would you do that? Keep in mind that the research you used was from Nakiya’s and although I was complete success if I do say so myself, well I think that first, she might become a bit jealous if you attain too much success, second, I believe that if her focus were to somehow help the planet, with the kind of technology she has, well, things would be entirely different now, wouldn’t they?
She was right on spot again, he did not understood how her mind worked and how it was possible to her know and work so much information in such a short span of time, however, he had to agree, it never occurred to him that his actions might upset and even be seen as rival to Nakiya’s, that made him wonder about her objectives.
- Yeah, that may be, I haven’t thought about that, as I can think about, I believe her objectives are to remain hidden and as discreet as possible, that is why we live in a base underground.
With that conclusion Beau laughed and clapped her hands in an excited way as to congratulate Houri over his thinking while stating.
- Marvelous thinking my boy, excellent use of that young brain, now, think about it, what would be best for you to do if you want to create something for the planet? –
He did not wanted to think about that, however, his mouth was quicker than his brain and without even realizing it, he spoke about what crossed his mind with an absent tone I the voice while his speed increased even more as his trained reached its maximum development, he was moving so fast and dodging the blasts with such ease that the only real challenge was to increase the amount of time he could remain in that state.
- Well I guess I should develop my own laboratory, but I do not want to sound as a rival to her, and I want to learn more from Nakiya too. –
With his statement, Beau looked at him with kind eyes as the kid finally put an end to his training, completely covered in sweat and out of breath, she knew of his innocence and knew how many hardships were about to come in his way, and with that, she only hoped she could protect him from most of the suffering that might come his way. One thing was sure though, he would never be alone.
- Oh Houri, so in that case, be patient, wait and study, and above all, train hard because you are about to enter in a world of giants where respect only comes from power and actions, and these two are eternally entwined.
- Remember this, one who wishes to act, must have the power to take action. -
Houri took deep breaths, not just absorbing what she had told him, but also trying to muster the correct words for her to understand his appreciation and the fact that he still needed to know a few things about her.
- Thank you Beau, you really gave me some things to think about, things I had never seen the way you showed me, but I wanted to ask you a few things too, do you mind?
- Also.
- Specter, please turn off the gravity machine and give me a status report of our travel.
With his command, the gravity eased considerably and as he jumped around feeling that weird and yet funny sensation of being way lighter and faster, the report that he asked came in just as Beau started talking.
- Well, ask away my dear, I am an open book, off course, to you, I can’t let anyone else know so much about me, do I? A girl need to have her mysteries.
- Captain, the ship is steady on course and travel should resume in about 24 hours, rest is recommended, no ships in the vicinity and no cosmic event or obstacles are nearby.
- Thank you Specter.
- And, Beau, well I wanted to know what you can do, I mean, I gave your traits and choose how they would fit you, but I want to know how you use them.
The question seemed to spark a fire in Beau, as with a sudden jump out of excitement the woman just started walking in circles around Houri with a prideful tone to her voice while lifting her fingers and describing her abilities to him.
- Well, I can produce electricity out of my body, I have access to dragon magic, which allows me to change my form from my base one to this humanoid one, amongst other forms if I choose too. I have telepathic powers, basic ones, I can use a perfect camouflage from my scales and my octopus traits, and I also have powerful Neurotoxin unique to me. Also, I can regenerate even lost limbs… And I admit it. That is pretty useful, I can even heal you, but not your lost limbs I guess, so, no limb losing ok?
- Also, I can use electricity to find people, and orient myself even if there is no light. Even people with suppressed kis, and that is pretty much it.
He was dumbstruck, not even in a million years he thought that the abilities he gave her would fall in with such harmony and complement themselves, at some point he even thought about giving himself a pat in the back over the success that Beau was, but right at that moment, he could only think one thing.
- Wow, Beau, you are amazing, all that skills, you can be anyone you want, infiltrate in places and even use magic! What amazing you are! You and I will be a great team! I know it, but for now, let’s put aside all of this, I need to things, a bath and food, and a bit of sleep, we are almost reaching our destination. –
And with his statement, Beau laughed and agreed leaving with him for the other areas of the ship, where she in her normal draconic form followed him around the base not much farther away from him and enjoying her peaceful times while they lasted.
