Chapter 5:Friend in need(Part 2)

The first thing that Shaya did after leaving her friends ward was to check up her arm now that she was at the hospital and leave for her house to get dressed and take as much cash she could so she could buy thing instead stealing them in broad daylight.

[Shaya, before you leave do you wanna learn some kind of martial art to defend yourself in face of trouble?] said AURA before Shaya opened the front door.

"I would like too but its gonna take a lot of time to learn the art and have the proper physicality for it." said Shaya releasing the door handle.

[The learning is the easy part, you can leave it to me.. But the physical is rather difficult for now that is.. I hope you can stand a severe headache and sorry in advance.] As AURA finished her sentence she procceeded to 'download' different kinds of martial art together.

At that moment Shaya felt a mind-splitting headache and a sensation to throw up, information soared through her head as she learned a new martial art by the moment from eastern technique to westen fighting styles. As the pain eased Shaya was drenched in cold sweat, she decided to take a quick shower before heading out again.

[At least you didnt faint this time, that an improvement from last time.] Said AURA to encourage Shaya. "Jesus christ that wasn't just a simple 'severe headache' I thought that my mind was gonna split in half." Cried out Shaya while breathing heavily and making her way upstairs.

"Just give a better heads up before doing things like this, I would have passed out if it where to continue any longer." Said Shaya to AURA to inform her before she decides on a whim.

As soon as Shaya exited the shower AURA informed her a new piece of information that she didnt want Shaya to learn, at least not this early on.

[You wanted to aquire the armor core for your friend right? There is another way to collect the necessary amount of nanomachine to fabricate the new armor core.]

"Really! I want to know, tell me." Shaya told AURA with excitement, she could help her friend sooner than she thought.

[Well... It's to consume living organism. While it give you a huge amount of nanomachine to play with, It's also intoxicating and some can get drunk and want more. And for some reason its one of things that can be somewhat tasted, and I don't know why.]

"You mean to kill something or someone and consume it. Tha..that sick why someone would do it." Surprised Shaya said to AURA and why would she ever tell her that.

[Trust me, you'll see a lot doing it either for their enjoyment or because they want to rise up in power and those who crave for that intoxicating taste one more time.] AURA said as a head up in the coming days.

After a while Shaya left and went to buy stuff that had a lot of metal in them so they could lower the materials she needed for the fabrication. Going back and forth through shops to find stuff to buy, she stopped around early afternoon to eat something and continued with the proccess until she was dry of cash.

After she finished, she took a bus with the remaining cash she had saved in order to return home without needing to walk back. When she reached her house took everything she had bought and started assimilating them, by the time she finished the armor core was about one third done and was around 9pm.

She decided to take a quick nap and wake up when its was time to go, as she lied down the fatigue over these two days hit her and she fell in deep sleep in a matter of second.

Hours later Shaya started clutching her sheets and suffle around and after a while she started screaming and woke up in cold sweat, she remembered the explosion and the gruesome scene she saw her friend in, but this time it was reversed she was the one that was caught in the explosion.

After calming down, she got ready and looked at the clock it was around half past eleven.

Shaya took the same path as last time she went to the scrapyard, it was relatively quite some car passed and barely any people where walking outside well most of them would be at a club or somewhere with friend instead of going to a random scrapyard.

When she reached she saw the hole that she breached was patched up, kinda, she just made some small wire cutters and went through with ease.

This time with the help of AURA to avoid detection of the cameras and making them turn to a angle that would not bother her.

Taking her time through the night consuming the most valuable and all the metalic parts that she could, luckily there were some new stuff that were wourth quite a bit of materials. By the time it hit six and somethings she heard footsteps coming her way, Shaya looked around to she if you could hide or she needed to flee.

Looking around the place there wasn't any good places and decided to make a dash for it, looking back for a slight moment she saw a silhouette coming around the corner, sprinting to the gap in the fence that she had made, ducking quickly so she could pass through. The guard saw Shaya or the 'culprit' in his eyes leaving through the same gap that he had found 2 days before.

Shaya immediately went home after that event and rested through the morning, at afternoon she visited her friend again and repeated the the same thing for two more days but instead of going to the scrapyard she went to a construction site.

Having all the neccesary nanomachines to fabricate the armor core. She started making the core it took her a while..about three hours to finish. Having the newly created armorcore she went to hosptital to she see her friend.

Arriving at the hospital she went to her friends ward and told her to be quite, Shaya tweaked the monitors so they won't notify the staff. Shaya took out the armor core and explained whta it was. Erica didn't believe it at first but, Shaya demonstrated what the 'armor' could do and Erica accepted.

"Well..can you withstand pain, a lot of pain or do you want to be knocked out first." Said Shaya to Erica.

"What do you mean by that, I'm rather concerned now about the whole thing." Erica replied while giving Shaya a quick glare and then went silence to thing about the whole thing.

"I'll take the silence as a yes." Shaya took the Armor Core and slapped it at Erica's neck and then covered her mouth for her oncoming screams.

The Armor Core once it touched Erica's neck it integrated with it a severe pain spread across Erica's body, she started kicking, swaying and hitting her hand and leg, she wanted to scream but Shaya had sealed her mouth shut with her hands.

Shaya was surprised that Erica didn't faint like her but instead she tried to calm herself by clucthing her hand in the beds sheets.

After fifteen or so minutes the pain slowly ceased, Shaya demonstrated what she could now do with her newly aquired armor. Shaya left after that to let Erica recover.
