Chapter 193: There Was Only One Of Them

I leaned back into my chair, and got myself comfortable, and then I activated the Drone Sync. I dropped out of my body, and then I was no longer anywhere; darkness surrounded me.

3…

"This time will be much different, but you will not have to calibrate the suit this time to use it," Hilda explained as I floated in the empty void.

2…

The place was like when I was inside my evolution, inside my head. I wondered if it was the same thing, and if it was, would I be able to use it somehow to learn more about A1 and B2? 

1…

"I do not know the answer to that question, but we will have a bit of time to go over some things. First, you will have to get acquainted with the new system and the other new features that your MechaBee has," Hilda said to me, and then I was in a hanger, and it was a much different feeling this time.

"Is everyone clear? I didn't realize that it was still inside the hanger," I said, keeping my body still.

"Yes, everyone is already out of the way and cleared out from the bay. I wanted to give you a chance to get used to your new speed and strength. The two paired will make you deadly, but you have to make sure you are not using too much power. Even though your QBee Drone has been upgraded and infused with MECA, we are still using the base material because we don't have anything stronger than this," Hilda explained, and I understood what she meant.

"Okay, so I have to be careful I don't use too much force or hit things directly hard, right?" I asked and took a deep breath that did nothing since I was a seven-foot-tall Metal Mech… I think Will would still be taller than me… not a necessary thought right now!

I stepped forward, and it really wasn't bad at all, and it didn't feel much different than regular walking. I lifted off the ground, but I had no wings; there was some kind of force that lifted me.

"That is the GraviBees that have merged with your armor. They are fully under your control, but you might be able to run there faster. But using the flight will be better for what you need to go over before we get back to the canyon," Hilda explained, and I agreed. 

A large door opened ahead of me, and I could see the sun starting to pour into the hanger, and I got excited. Even though this was going to be dangerous, and it wasn't supposed to be fun, there was no way I could deny how cool this felt to me.

"It is a perfectly normal thing to feel, I am only watching from your eyes right now, but I can understand and feel some of the same excitement without the amazing feeling of control you must have!" Hilda said with a sound excitement that I was not used to.

I guess it made sense, passions for some people could never be denied, and Hilda had been Sky Eel Folk before this. She must have loved to fly, and this was a new and different feeling than what it was like to flappy your wings to maintain lift, then I stopped.

"Where is Serria? How did I completely forget about her?!" I said, but then I got a ping on my mini-map in my HUD top right corner that was outside of the ship.

"She has already practiced with her MechaBee, and we were sure how it was going to be for you. I am impressed with how well you are able to keep all that power in control as you move on the ground," Hilda said, and I smiled to myself.

I started to move forward, and there we were… people… sort of? The lines were starting to get pretty blurred at this point to what was considered people.

That had started the moment I was born into this world. I was over even trying to bring reason into any conversation or thought that I had about this world.

A Mecha Neko was floating in the same manner as me without wings, and that was my lovely Kawaii Kitty Maiden. There was even a tail that was flicking and twitching in excitement when Serria noticed me.

Tag was flapping in the air with large red and black Dragon wings, and his brother Sig was floating using some kind of jet engines. I was curious as to where he got the power or fuel to run them from? Well, and I could ask when we started through the caves or on the trip, I had one last final thing to do before I left.

I activated the intercom system as I still flew with the ship. It was time to activate it.

"Everyone, I am leaving to try and rescue my sister, and you are all going to try and help my other one, and I thank you all for this. I shall give my blessing to everyone that has not received their evolution yet. I hope that everything goes well for you all, but know that we have a very good set of plans in place that have a very high chance of succeeding," I explained and then took another mock deep breath. 

[Swarm Evolution System] Activated.

[Eligible Subjects]: 1673

[Activate]: Grant 1673 subjects evolution according to the Genes that you have collected. Yes/No?

Yes.

The spectacle was like nothing I had ever seen before, and I watched as the giant golden teardrop shone as bright as the sun in the middle of the day. The notifications were starting to pile in, and it was almost good that I was going to have some extra time on my hands.

I turned around and blinked at the single massive, gigantic Mecha-Dragon that was black and red, covered in glossy metallic plates that looked like scales. It also had wings and jet engines, but there was only one of them.
