[Chapter 61] Choices

—————————————————————

"This was created by the United Alliance Force, which was led by many but the original creator was a weapons engineer that worked for the United States government! He was known for his tragic death from choking on something and had left his legacy behind for his daughter to find, a weapon that could change warfare and power usage as they knew it."

"This container is consisted of an alloy which was even able to resist a black hole! While traveling and being thrown around by the black hole, the parasite was split in two and ended up evolving into two parasites with unique properties. Not just including physical evolution properties to its host but these two parasites have gained a psychic connection, giving them the ability to create a link between their two hosts. These two host will be able to go as far as even sense each other's emotions."

"Pressing the videos button will play a recording recorded by the box. The integrity button will show you the container's and the vessel's content's current status. Pressing open will begin the process of implanting the creature into your body. The process is very quick and known to take about 2 seconds. If there is another parasite, press open again to install in another creature."

"Holding the handle along with saying space will make the vessel pen sized and give it the ability of easier transport, science made many advancements during their rush for survival but sadly it was all in vain."

'What the hell is this information overload?! And why did it tell me so much useless information? But the guy who died by choking...'

All of a sudden, I feel an intense wave of pain as I am given a new vision. I'm standing in a kitchen, thinking about food. I grab a sandwich from the fridge and bite into it. And I swallow, I suddenly feel it clog my throat and just as I am about to grab my neck…then my vision goes black. I open my eyes, just to realize I am back at the container.

'....'

'Did you really have to be that mean flashbacks? Damn sandwiches. I swear to never eat those killers again.'

I look over at my teacher as he is looking up and down at the box, trying to figure out what it is. 'Sadly he will never figure it out.' I reach out to the side and grab the handle, and murmur the single English word, "Space."

All of a sudden, I watch as it shrinks and collapses in on itself before entering the handle. And I hear a Ping!

"Congratulations! You have succeeded in obtaining a rare item! You have met the requirements to get one inventory slot!"

—————————————————————

And as that happens, I suddenly see my stats screen open up and an inventory tab pop up on the left of my stats screen, along with a stats tab above it. 'What requirements?! Damn system, doesn't even tell me what requirements I passed. Then I wouldn't need to always rely on storage rings!'

After I curse the system a bit I start to wonder. 'Should I destroy it? Or should I keep it....'

After having an internal conflict for a few moments of time, I put it into my one inventory space.

'It may give me more flashbacks and plus if I ever meet that certain someone and end up marrying them, then this could be a good way to increase our bond, but I will need to learn how these parasites work before hand.'

All of a sudden, I see Dreag walk over to me, his eyes filled with disbelief and demand, "What did you do so that it could become portable? And give it to me, I am going to send it to our research team to study."

I scratch the back of my head and just shrug, saying, "I just put my hand on it and it just disappeared, look." I say as I open both of my hands.

But then I look over at the hole that I pulled this out of, "But that only makes me wonder what it was attached to." I say as Dreag, who was just about to say something to me with visible anger, stopped.

He looks over at where the cord disappeared. And scratches his head before his eyes go wide as he yells at me, "Dodge!"

He jumps and is launched into the air. I launch myself into the air with the strength I could hurriedly muster and transform into my semi human Dragonborn form. My wings unfurl as I float into the sky, staring at the earth beneath me.

I suddenly see the ground trembling as a massive mass shoots out of the ground. I suddenly tremble as I stare at the being, my core shaken with fear and shock.

The arm, it is the most horrendous looking thing I have ever seen. It is a mash up of arms and hands, creating a disgusting portrait of an arm. The arm hits the ground and the earth starts to tremble. And I watch as the earth bends upward and explodes as a massive creature with a hundred faces, including.....the old man.

'What the hell is that?!'

The creature looks like a moving mass of body parts and organs as it stands at a shocking height of at least 240ft.

It looks at my teacher who is now a large distance away, then up at me. It reels back, and it's arm shoots forward, extending as the hand grows larger in my view.

'Shit!' I think as I cross my arms and fold my wings, pencil diving down from the sky. I see the hand drop from my view as the grounds view increases in my sight. I suddenly open my wings and slow down till I lightly touch the ground.

All of a sudden, I see the hand dropping down on me, "I'm done for." I think as I use shadow manipulation and try my best to create a dome. But before it closes, I hear a raor as I see a massive silver cat with wisps of yellow flowing off hit the creature with shocking force, sending the creature flying into a few trees.

I stop the dome and look at the massive 220ft cat. It's paws and mouth have large pieces of metal that make it look like a mech, it's eyes glow pure yellow with a sense of strength within them. I stare at the behemoth as it crouches down to look at me, a voice resonating from its mouth.

"Are you okay?" I jump from the shock while I smile. "Yes, I am fine, thank you for saving me." I am giddy inside as I know what's about to happen. 'I love monster movies!' I think as I close the dome and thicken it to about 3 feet thick. I then make an opening as to watch the greatness that is going to happen.

'I'll be damned if I am purposely going to miss this!' I think as I focus on shadow creation and make a simple chair. I jump up and down as I watch the giant cat get into a launch position and roar at the flesh beast.

It's eyes go black as all of it's faces scream at the massive cat. I watch as the two then begin running at eachother and watch as the cat jumps, latching onto the monster chest and begins to tear at the monster's shoulder, it's claws grow larger and stick into the beast as it screams from pain.

I watch as the flesh beast's hands grab the cat and turn into flesh tentacles as they curl around the cat and rip it off, the beast continues to scream as it throws the beast, causing the cat to go flying and land on the ground in a thud. The cat swiftly gets back up and begins running again, an anger in its eyes. I suddenly see as the metal on its forehead goes soft as it grows a massive blade and rams it straight into the monster's abdomen with lightning speed.

The monster screams this time with an rage and pain filled scream, this one sounding inhuman as it slowly turns red and waves of orange energy flow off of his back as it grows plates of armor all over its body. A helmet, gauntlets, boots, knee pads, a chest piece and back piece form of blood red bone as it's eyes turn purple and scream.

I watch as it grabs the cat's head and pulls it out, blood flowing out of the wound. It grabs the blade and grips it, snapping it off, and jumping back, causing the earth tremble. I then hear something from the heads as it shocks even me.

"Fight...us...bitch!"
