CHASING ADVANCEMENT 4 [V] (Ch. 148)

"Fascinating" the skinny man in thick round frames murmurs, Kevin stands behind him hands folded as he observes the man work, "you say if i know this body conscious the other drops unconscious? And vice versa?" The man questions, "fascinating, truly fascinating" he murmurs once more, his hands working their way all over the body, "it's essentially the perfect body" the man murmurs, "a shame though, there's little i can do without rousing the consciousness awake" the man states,

"That's why i'm here" Kevin replies,

"How so" the man whips to face him with burning curiosity, in response Kevin simply whips his feet at the body stopping inches from it connecting to it's abdomen, obsidian eyes had snapped open fixing Kevin in it's stare as it strains within it's restraints.

"Fascinating!" the man bellows this time, his voice raising several pitches, Kevin's imprinted 'Force' reinforced titanium bars held the body in place, with it's consciousness roused Kevin found itself curious to see if the consciousness held more than simple combat instinct,

"It's thinking" the man states, his lab coat bellowing wildly as he rushes closer to the body, 

"Wait!" Kevin commands bluring before the man with a wide out stretched palm and fingers as force crashes against it, "bar it's mouth" Kevin orders, quickly the doctor complies as a mechanism is set in place and a thick bar comes over the bodies mouth,

(It's safe to assume it's well capable of basic reasoning, meaning it's growing, how far it can deduce...well that's still a question), Kevin ponders, "find a way to tame and control ot Doc", (MURAKAN must have found something, even if it's simply a theory...the perfect Shifter).

Endless dark, monotonous cold and unfeeling, if life existed beyond the seemingly endless void of black he couldn't tell, 

(how long has it been now?) He mules, the concept of time had long blended into the dark's nothingness, he no longer bothered to struggle against the rusting tired chains, whatever Item had been used to lock him in place far outstripped him in strength. The place, wherever it was he was in rumbled, two titanic door trembled to give way, beyond the light was a middle aged man, the very one who'd captured him, with a hard swallow Jefferson wetted his chapped throat, his caked lips finding moisture, then he spoke,

"Didn't expect the visit" he states, his smile as feral and defiant as the initial moment of his capture, in reply the man simply crouched to meet his eye, with their sights level he pulled a phone,

"Am i getting a prison call now?" Jefferson mocks, the through causing him to chuckle lightly.

"Your crew is becoming a nuisance, stop them, or we will" the man replies monotonously. In reply Jefferson smirks the silence stretching on uninhibitedly,

"Bullshit" he calls emphatically as if to place emphasis, "you want something else" Jefferson follows,

"Be that as it may" the thick bearded middle aged man follows, "you don't have much of an option" he concludes, "either comply or...",

"You're using me as bait" Jefferson chuckles causing the man to hold his silence with a dead set stare, 

(It seems we've underestimated your intelligence) the man ponders internally, (a shame) ponders once more as his lips bend ever slightly to a frown, lifting himself up from his crouch he turns away,

"Commence" he declares watching as streams of Shifters lift different experimental appliances past him, a tall lean handsome man in round frames and a doctor's coat steps into the light, 

"I take it i'm free to work now?" The man questions rhetorically, the middle ages man gives no show of response as he walks pass the doctor, as if rethinking his exit the middle aged man pauses,

"He's to be coherent enough to speak" came his statement,

"Whatever the Chief Security Officer says" the Doctor muses, with that the man makes his exit, Jefferson having long realised his face remains ever calm, his leisurely smile mirroring the doctors.

She sat atop a massive bolder rivaling the height if the tree's along the valley's range. The eight sat in a semi circle facing Evelyine each focus intently on cycling, hours had passed and eventually Maya and Laura gave first, their bodies wearing out quickly due to their weak advancements, but then came the haul, hours descended into days, the two then three and eventually the first of the lot gave, James. His physique being the weakest of the lot he finally crumbled under his own compounded pressure with Evelyine having to stop tye stubborn boy from crushing himself beneath his own pressure. The training which had long turned to competition lasted another several hours before the next if the lot had to be saved from self destruction, Raven. His frame not nearly as dense as the remaining three, the fact if triumphing over James a consequence of Raven's Relic, the slow optimization of his body toward's it's use accelerating the rate of his bodies condensation, another several hours and Dennis and Jayson gave, the latter just moment's before the former, their argument bellowed well into the night's fall when Yanick's physique shuddered steam rising from him, every fiber of his existence pulsing, without warning his 'Force' arts burst into existence rilling the wind and the area around, his three 'Force' arts empowered at once, his body burning, cooking like cake under and oven's heat, his 'Force' arts enacting at once without his will, ravaging the lands around him threatening to rip hos body apart,

"FOCUS!!" Evelyine's thunders, "Control them and Attune them" she follows, Yanick beyond his pain and blanking mind he manages to pick her words reigning the 'Force' in his body in through sheers force if will, his roar rousing the sleeping forest awake, seconds descended into minutes of madness then an hour then two and finally as his body trembles it'd clicked, the lit fire shone against Yanick's skin glazed over with sweat, his breath shaky, his frame unsteady, but the world had heeded his answer and 'Force' raged withing him like fire washing him anew, his muscles reinforced, his bones reinforced, his organs reinforced, the very weight if his soul a point of constant moving mass.

"He's done it" Evelyine smiles, causing the rest to grin, Raven steps up to him with an outstretched hand,

"Congrats man" Raven grins pulling him up with more force than he'd intended, "woah there, your weight's basically quintupled",

"He's become a true super human now" Evelyine states, "ATTUNEMENT is simply the beginning" she states, 

"You should get some re..." She begins, the sight of the rest taking their places as they begin another fierce round of cycling, the push for advancement had just begun.
