Chapter 2 - The Setup

Chapter 2 - The Setup

A Chapter by Vinicius de Souza Silva

As we wait for the good news, i get up and direct myself to the door
-Where are you going?
-I'm going to pick something up, take care of her Drake...
-Be carefull. And come back quickly, or else im going after you.
-Sure. Take care of her...
As i leave that hospital, i run direcly at my laboratory...Tesla is still there.
I run through the most safe route, as i run i call Steven
-We are leaving tonight. Pack up Steve.
-Tesla?
-Going after it.
-Kyrogen?
-It is at Marcos
-Got it, im going to pick up the rest of our stuff.
-Meet me at the hospital. Drake and my mother are there.
-Sure.
I arrive at our secret lab. Its not so secret after all. I remember how we got that. It was from my father's company. They used it for research, but it was closed for a long time, since they got a new one.
Steven and I started doing our own researches, first it was for getting better at school, but then we got deep into it.
We discovered a new element. We named it Kyrogen. It could be found in a south of the pacific. It's called Kyronelli. The reason nobody discovered it yet, was because you needed to add certain elements and mix the particles in a correct order. Kyrogen cells can reduce the size of things, but if you are not carefull, it could just turn into liquid state. We used it in Tesla. Huge success
I arrive at the lab, no one's in there, for our luck. I pick up Tesla and put it in my right arm right away.
I put all our important files in Tesla and leave, as quick as i can. As i arrive at the hospital, Steven's there and my mother looks fine.
-You made it! And are you alright mom?
-Im fine. Im already used to it.
-Aren't you guys a bit too young to go away alone?
-You are not comming with us? Mom?
-Drake, go with your brother. You have those 'things' to teach him
-He's not ready!
-But is a great time. We have no choice. Im going back to AFB, you go with him, equip him up and you teach him
-Mom, Drake, can anyone here explain? This is getting weird...
-Let's go back home, i explain in the way.
As we leave, i say goodbye to my mother and we leave. Police officers are in front of the hospital, calling people to a hideout city, close to Seaside Hills.
As we are walking, we start asking questions:
-Ok, first of all, where is mom going? What is AFB?
-Armed Front Battlelines. It's a division of the army. Well, it was, now it is a whole faction. She's going to the headquarters to help new groups.
-But what she said about you teaching me something? what is it.
-I need to teach you CQC, Close Quarters Combat. I will train you for battle.
-Wait, so that big pulserifle you used isn't dad's?
-Nope. That was a gift they gave mom after she left the batalion. 
-Are we getting to use that stuff?
-Later Steven. Can you tell me what's that in your arm?
-That's Tesla. A thing we created.
-You named it after yourself? What about him?
-I do not care. I like that name. We will leave it like that, and besides, Craig did most of the work
-Ok, what does it do?
-When we arrive home i show you.
As we arrive home, or, what was left of it, Drake calls us in the basement
-What are doing in our basement
-Just a Sec...Voilá
A hidden door just happened to be behind one of our shelves. As we go inside, we encounter pieces of armor and weaponary
-This are just some 'gifts' our mother got from AFB. You two will have to share it. And Craig is not having a gun!
-Why not? Give me one good reason!
-You would blast anything that moves
-Tell me where that is bad
-Well, Steven should tell you
-Hey, he's not gonna shoot me....I hope so...
-Steven, pick this up. Craig, get that Bayonetta
Drake gives Steven some kind of pocket gun.
-We do not have too much ammo. Be precise.
-I never shot anything before!
-Aim for the head, pull the trigger...want some kind of 'how to shoot for dummies'?
-Ok, so i have to risk myself in a close combat?
-You are fast enough to drop 4 of those big ones with one swipe.
-How?
-As long as you cut their cirquits, you are fine. Its easy, go for hotspots. The neck, the arm, something like that
-Got it. But where should we go?
As i turn back, he puts a map on the table
-Where did you get that?
-Whatever, pay atention! They are going through northwest, wich leaves us in...Gerdanapolis. We gotta go there and warn them.
-Okay, seems like a plan to me. What about you, Steven?
-Let's go then! We should get there by the morning if we leave now. Drake?
-Wait a second, what about the thing in your arm? The 'Tesla'?
-Do you have something in here? We will not destroy it or anything...right Steve?
-75% chance of success. Whe scheduled 5 tests, we only tried 4
-Ok, last test. Drake, trust us.
-Use this badge. Do not damage it! It's important
-*Iniciating Tesla*-
-What was that?
-Calm down
-*Welcome, Craig*-
-Who's voice is that?
-Can we concentrate? Craig, carefull now
-Okay Steven. Here we go. Name it.....Badge
-*Including item 'Badge' to the database*-
We succeed at our final test.
-100% success rate, yeah!
-Wait, what did you do with my badge? It simply disapeared!
-Just a second...
-*Accessing The Database*-
-Item...Badge!
-*Do you want to materialize: Badge?*-
-Proceed
The badge comes back just as it was
-How do you do that?
-It's maded out of an element we discovered, that shrinks things. It's called...wait, we gotta call Marcus!
-It's Called Kyrogen and...it is right here!
-Marcus gave it to you?
-He was leaving town, so he went to my house and gave me. 
-Okay, enough, how could you guys do that? You are only 13!
-We call ourselves Prodigys, right Steven?
-Actualy, only you do...
-Whatever, we got to leave. Steve, Craig, Let's go
-Yeah.
As we leave, i look at Tesla...It calls my attention somehow...This is a big step in science!
There are no more robots in the streets. The Police finished them off...
We walk towards Gerdanapolis...We are actualy doing it...We gonna save the world...
