Settling The Deal With Augmented Monster

"I'm very surprised that I couldn't hack the system in your base." Maduruma muttered with an intrigued tone through the phone call, "So what kind of protection did you use?"

"Ozmonian Enhancement that I got from Zero 10 years ago," Chemistra answered bluntly.

A delicate burst of laughter from Maduruma was broadcasted across the room and the pitch went higher in each passing second. The Chemist crossed both of the cybernetic hands before shaking her head with an irritating gasp.

Absorbing the high-pitched laughter of Maduruma brought an exasperation through Chemitra's grunt. She glossed over at the sky above to await the laughter in ending its section as the voice was now gotten lower, slowly blessing the room at least with bitter-calmness.

"You really did it, Misaki." Maduruma praised happily, "You finally cyberized yourself. I'm very happy to hear it."

Chemistra groaned, "Let's just go to the main point, Maduruma. Talking about all of those subjects is irrelevant."

"So, have you determined which place we're going to settle our matter and when the exact time you would decide?" Chemistra scolded harshly before prolonging the statement, "That's the only important thing I wanted to hear from you."

Another high-pitched, yet distorted laughter was captured by both Chemistra and Southern Shield. The Arrogant Shaolin clouded his entire face with a heated enrage while continuing to hear the distorted laugh from Maduruma.

Nonetheless, Southern Shield didn't create any hostile movement as his feet kept standing frozen. Both of his tightened fists still remained resilient even though gleaming golden energy fired up within the knuckle and gritted his teeth in burning frustration.

"Let's start to reveal the main point of this sudden call, Misaki or should I say Chemistra." Maduruma exclaimed in enlightened delightfulness with the pitch of his voice went high, "First of all the time will be decided in the morning."

"Precisely at 8 AM." Maduruma added as a deep tone voice emerged within his augmented throat, "A wonderful time to start our own morning exercise or just a simple lesson."

"Fine, I agreed." Chemistra said sternly, "Continue the conversation please"

Maduruma chuckled briefly, "Right."

"As for the location, I chose a special one for you." Maduruma uttered joyfully, "Which is…we are going to settle the matters in one of the Dr.Akarui secret labs."

Bemused expression clouded Southern Shield's entire expression with the word, Dr.Akarui invaded his mind. The flabbergasting jaw was dropped widely as he sharpened the darting sight towards his affirmative ally, Chemistra.

However, Southern Shield nodded his head to regain a sense of calmness for tossing aside the lingering thoughts. The Arrogant Shield blew a sigh of relief with his jaw closed and tranquilness emerged within his observative sight.

"How can I get there?" Chemistra argued bluntly, "That place is almost untraceable by technology Unless you can provide your portal robot to get here."

"I bet you already know my secret base whereabouts, right? Chemistra added with a firm guess.

Maduruma giggled, "Yes, I already knew it. However, let us meet on the same rooftop where you lost your leg."

"It'll be easier to remember it, am I correct Chemistra?" Maduruma reassured delightfully.

A blinding flash of light shone brightly within Chemistra's mind and replayed the recent horrifying moment when she still had her human flesh. A time when her frightened sight glanced back at revelation her legs were not only decapitated, it vomited a corrosive liquid across the floor after Maduruma left her to enjoy his achievement.

Tears of despondency dropped down rapidly like rain with her clenching both of the trembling hands. Either facing the revelation or enduring the everlasting pain from the injury, Chemistra could only shriek out loudly and rained more tears on the bloody floor.

"I….swear…you…stupid….dream…of…having…enforcer…will be…your biggest downfall, idiotic augmented mad man," Misaki uttered with a raspy voice.

"After this, I'll show….why I'm better than you." Misaki added cynically, "Mark….my word….Maduruma."

Afterward, another pure-flashing white light soared through the entire scenario and wiped away any traces of that dreadful moment. It sent Chemistra in the present time as she gazed down at the silk surface on both of the cybernetic arms.

Relieving groans were exhaled by Chemistra after all the lingering-dreadful thoughts fell deeply into the hidden place of her cybernetic mind. The Chemist rested down the crossing arms and gaze on the sky above to pin a clean view of the silk-white above interior, ready to present the assured answer.

"Yes, it's easier to remember especially when I accessed the horrible experience inside that building." Chemistra mentioned, "Frustration, anger, and vindictiveness were the things my human self felt whenever she remembered the moment when losing her legs."

"Therefore, I agreed with your twisted choice," Chemistra added as she slowly raised her bulky gauntlet.

Maduruma chortled happily and exhaled the distorting sigh through the phone call, "Impressive, impressive. That's what I wanted to hear from you, Chemistra. Tossing aside all of your ..concerning human emotion."

"You truly embraced the cybernetic side of yours, which was an amazing improvement." Maduruma praised with a high-pitched, jolly tone.

Chemistra grunted, "But there is a difference between you and me. Remember that Maduruma"

"I will never fall down into your twisted vision of evolution." Chemistra swore deeply and initiated a firm-crushing grip, "And your insignificant mindset of turning me into your enforcer too, Maduruma."

"There is a reason why my human self did this cybernetic enhancement which is proving herself that she's better than you." Chemistra added with the crushing grip went up to see the clear sky-above view, "I'm here to deliver the message in a physical term towards you, Maduruma."

"I truly understood your intention, Chemistra." Maduruma replied with a bitter tone, "Therefore, I already prepared an effective machine to capture you, Chemistra."

Chemistra grunted, "Me too in terms of my arsenal."

"So, we're equal in terms of preparation too." Maduruma murmured, "Thus, did you agree with my proposal."

Chemistra nodded, "Yes. I agreed with the deal."

"Then the deal is settled." Maduruma mumbled delightfully before blowing a sigh into the phone call, "See you later, Chemistra."

A noise of an out-loud shrinking down howled across the white room as the mark that the call was ended. The Chemist glanced down at the cybernetic feet and released a reluctant sigh, calming herself after the abrupt meeting with Maduruma ended in a bitter note.

Southern Shield began to take a few approaching steps to his cybernetic friend and landed his palm on The Chemist's shoulder. Chemistra swiftly steered back her attention onto The Arrogant Shaolin, capturing a glimpse of sparkling-confident smirk opened widely.

"So are you truly ready to face that hideous cyber monster?" Southern Shield asked enthusiastically.

"Yes, I am." Chemistra uttered coldly, "I didn't want my human self-sacrifice's become nothing."

Southern Shield chuckled, "You're indeed good at acting like a robot person, Chemistra."

"Comment everything you wanted to me because, in the end, it becomes meaningless in my hearing, Southern Shield." Chemistra replied with a blunt tone, "I only care to move forward for improvement."

"Fine." Southern Shield mumbled, "Anyway, did you want to start another round of our training or do you want to meet your family."

The silence was the reply she gave towards Southern Shield as the wiry hands of her began to crumble in fear. Condolence eyes shone through The Arrogant Shaolin's expression and convinced him to retrieve his palm on her shoulder.

"Apology for saying that." Southern Shield admitted, "But sometimes, it's important for you to meet your parents too. Even meeting in this form and I'm aware your father still didn't approve of you based on what I got from Mistress Foreseen."

Chemistra sighed reluctantly, "You may be right, Southern Shield."

"I indeed wanted my human self's father to see this form and finally realized she no longer exists," Chemistra exclaimed.

"Then, go ahead, meet him." Southern Shield uttered with an encouraging demeanor, "He really deserves to see the new form of yours."

Chemistra quickly clenched the wiry hand to reduce the dreaded crumbling with the thought of meeting her father one more time haunted her mind. Then, she began to walk away from Southern Shield who broadened an emphatic look

Thus, the next activity for Chemistra would soon be declared on this tiring day, especially after two rough things occurred in her new life as a cybernetic enhanced. Meeting her horrified father was the next activity she would declare to prolong today's activity.

Another few hours passed with the gleaming-orange afternoon awakened by the soaring light across Neo Tokyo. The warm light widely touched almost every tall and glassy building of the city itself.

The Prime Minister's house was also included in the list of the afternoon light warm touch. A building with two well-refined suit guards with black glasses and muscular body structure stood apathetically in front of the enlarged, cotton-white wooden door.

An entrance door that had several bulky-shaped rocks planted on every two sides of the door itself. Regardless of the mundane activity of them standing like the statue, the two guards at least could gaze upon towards the alluring afternoon and slowly open a comforting smirk to enjoy the warmness.

The outside of the Prime Minister's house embraced the serene atmosphere, especially with the soothing wind blowing on the grass, but the inside didn't share the same things. Instead, it filled with agitation burnt through Kamiya's office room

An office room where Kamiya sat on the balmy-dark blue chair and placed his shivering hands on the azure-holographic table. Beside the frantic old man was Ayari who was now wearing an almost exact same suit as the guard on the outside, revealing a concerned gaze towards her father.

"Papa, are you thinking about Misaki again?" Ayari asked politely.

Prime Minister Kamiya nodded before uttering his frantic words, "I'm still concerned because it reminded me of someone that I lost and I didn't like to mention it."

"Who is it, Papa?" Ayari flabbergasted before biting her lips.

Prime Minister Kamiya sighed in despair and uttered the melancholic name, "Shiroku Hazama."

"A man who died as a cold-blooded villain because of his ambition," Kamiya uttered with a despondent tone.

"Why didn't you tell her?"Ayari argued with a frantic tone as both of her hands shivered, "She deserved to know it. I'm shocked to know it, but Misaki should know about that truth and she might have more empathy with you."

"Even though I told her, she's still going to continue regardless." Prime Minister Kamiya countered his second daughter's statement with a stoic tone, "Her stubbornness will most likely defy that statement."

Ayari grunted, "But at least, you should start adapting in this situation, especially with slowly embracing Misaki's choice. Sometimes accepting things only brings despair."

"That's what I've been doing since three days ago, slowly embracing this is the choice of my big sister," Ayari uttered a convincing word towards her father who sharply glanced at her. Frantic thoughts of Kamiya started to gust away as he dropped a slight acceptance jaw for continued to receive more statements from his second daughter.

"So you're just going to embrace it as if it's a normal thing." Prime Minister Kamiya guessed with a skeptical tone.

"Yes Papa, I must get used to it as life is always changing." Ayari reassured.

"Just like how I handled Mama's death," Ayari added.

All of sudden, the drumming sound of the door opening echoed throughout the office room. Ayari and Prime Minister Kamiya switched their heedful attention at the front and captured a hushing, robotic step closer to them.

The shocking frown was raised within Kamiya's face as the approaching person revealed her eldest daughter, Misaki. The eldest daughter who became a cybernetic-enhanced robot w and sternly walked towards The Prime Minister's direction convinced him to head on directly meeting his daughter.

Thus, Prime Minister Kamiya and his eldest daughter, Misaki traded stares with one another as they halted the steps. Line of yearning tears shed through the old man's eyes socket, glancing and landing his shivering palm onto his daughter's cheek.

Frigidness could be endured by Kamiya with him continuing to rub the metal skin of his beloved daughter. He closed his eyes briefly before centering the contented sight towards the cyber Misaki.

"Misaki, are you still there?" Prime Minister Kamiya asked, "Answer me honestly."

Misaki reluctantly sighed before a jolly murmuring, resembling her high-pitched human voice emerged, "Yes, Papa. I'm still here."

"You and Ayari will be the person I'm willing to tell that Misaki Kamiya still lives inside this body," Misaki exclaimed.
