Chapter 2 Testing
After Nebula and Nori had introduced themselves to one each other Nori picked up Nebula and climbed out of the secret lab they where in. With Nebula in her hand Nori took her home with guidance from Nebula of course. The two soon returned to the house which thankfully wasn't too hard thanks to Nori's size and strength. However Nebula didn't want anyone to find out about Nori right now as she was afraid that she'd be taken away.
"Nori could you please stay out of sight of my family and other humans?" Nebula asked.
"Sure, but why do you want me to stay out of sight?" Nori asked.
"Well you're a new kind of Tecncars and clearly not like the others, so I'm worried that if anyone finds out about you, you'll be taken away from me," Nebula explained.
"Aww, don't worry sis, I won't let anyone separate us! Never ever!" Nori reassured Nebula while nuzzling her close to her face.
"Oh! Thanks Nori!" Nebula exclaimed. After a while the two separated and Nebula showed Nori where she could hide till further notice.
"Follow me Nori! There's a place I know you can hide till I'm ready to show you to my family. Oh and I can show you some history documents and comics about the Reapers and Tecncars history," Nebula explained.
"Ohh! I'd love that! I'm not sure if I really am a Tecncars or not. I don't even know anything about the place I woke up in! So it'll be nice to learn about the aliens I think I'm connected to and the one's we're fighting!" Nori exclaimed excitedly.
Nebula smiled and led Nori to an old barn that was on the property of the farm. It was pretty old and hasn't been used in a while after the newer one was built, it also helped that the old one was a bit of a walking distance from the house. So it'd be perfect for Nori to settle down and remain there for a while.
"Alright Nori, you wait here and I'll bring you my comics and history documents," Nebula explained as Nori went inside the old barn.
"Okay sis! I'll be here waiting! Oh this is so exciting!" Nori exclaimed as she sat down to wait for Nebula.
Nebula smiled as she walked away from the old barn, she liked how excited Nori was and how she even referred to her as sis. "I've always wanted to have a sibling, never thought that I'd get a sister who's a Tecncars... well I think that's what she is. It seemed like she was made with that Reaper stinger and a sample of my blood. Strange but also kinda cool, we should go back there sometime and explore that lab a bit more. But right now I'll just give Nori what she needs to learn more about her kind, and get some sleep. I don't have work or school tomorrow so the two of us can go out and see what Nori can do," Nebula said to herself planning out the events tomorrow.
Nebula then got to the side of her house that her room was next to, she climbed up the gutter drain that was next to her window, opened the said window and climbed inside her room. Now inside Nebula began collecting her digital comics and history documents on the Reapers and Tecncars.
Once she had collected everything she needed Nebula left her room the same way she did before and went back to the old barn. After arriving Nebula gave everything to Nori and told her that she'd be back in the morning.
"Alright sis! I'll see you in the morning! Goodnight!" Nori exclaimed as she waved goodbye as Nebula closed the barn doors.
Nebula ran back to her room and changed into her pajamas, then finally collapsed on her bed from all the events.
The next morning Nebula felt a shock of excitement fly through her whole body. This jolted her awake from her deep sleep, she looked at her sleeve and saw that it was emitting the same glow as the night before when she first met Nori.
"Oh lord, it looks like Nori is really excited to go out today," Nebula said as she looked at the sleeve.
"Hey Nebula are you awake?" Nebula heard her grandma ask.
"Yeah I'm up!" Nebula responded.
"Okay you want to come down for breakfast?" Her grandma asked.
"Um no thanks I'm not hungry!" Nebula called out.
"Alright if you say so dear!" Grandma responded.
Nebula heard her grandmother's footsteps walking away from her room and back down stairs. She let out a sigh of relief and decided that she should go out now and take Nori out for testing. So Nebula got on some casual clothes for the day which was a blue and purple tank top, with a green and purple scarf wrapped around her neck. She also wore a silk green skirt that was paired with shorts and a pair of black sandals.
Nebula smiled after getting everything on, now fully dressed Nebula climbed out of her bedroom window and slid down the drain pipe. Once she reached the bottom she ran to the old barn, creaked the old door open and was greeted by Nori rushing up to her in excitement.
"Hey Nebs! I read everything you gave me! This is so fascinating! But I dont feel like I'm a part of any of this, and I don't even know if I'm a Tecncars, after all I was made on earth in that lab and they are made on their home planet then sent here to earth," Nori explained.
"I know and I'm not sure what you are myself, but I want to find out, don't you?" Nebula asked.
"Yes! Yes! YES! I want to find out! Let's go! Let's Go! LETS GO!" Nori exclaimed excitedly, making Nori smile. She also felt the jolts of excitement coming from Nori, again she thought it was strange but she actually liked it.
"Alright so Nori, can you open up your chest?" Nebula asked.
"I think so? Let me try," Nori said as she looked down to her chest.
Nebula watched as Nori concentrated on her chest for a bit until it sprung open. Inside Noris chest was a set that was just big enough for Nebula to sit on. Nebula's eyes widened at this and she felt excited and nervous as she's never been inside a Tecncars before.
"OMG! This is exciting!" Nebula exclaimed.
"I know! I can feel it!" Nori declared.
"Alright! Let's get going and see what you're able to do!" Nebula exclaimed.
Nori smiled widely, she grabbed Nebula and placed her into her chest, Nebula sat down at the set inside Nori and watched as Nori closed her chest. Once closed lights came on and Nebula felt strange for a bit till she felt something being placed on her head. Next thing she knew Nebula's vision was filled with some space like void for a few moments. The void then transformed into a virtualized version of the outside world she was in before.
"Wow! Is this what it's like to be in all Tecncars?! This is awesome! I've dreamed about this for such a long time!" Nebula exclaimed happily.
"It is pretty cool, Nebs! It does feel kinda strange for you to be in there, but it's the good kind of strange!" Nori exclaimed.
"Okay! Now let's go out and explore the woods," Nebula said.
"Okie Dokie sis," Nori said excitedly and jumped up in the air hoping she could fly.
However she just fell back down to the ground, much to her and Nebula's disappointment as they both had read that Tecncars could fly.
"Aww man how come I can't fly?" Nori asked, feeling disappointed at this discovery.
"Well I don't think it's enough to jump up, but let's just walk through the woods and find an open area to practice," Nebula suggested.
"Alright, hopefully we can also figure out how I can fly," Nori said as she walked into the woods.
The two didn't realize that a drone was high up in the air out of eye sight watching them. A camera lens zoomed into Nori and examined her as she was different from other Tecncars.
"Hmm, strange I wonder what kind of Tecncars that is?" A man asked as he operated the drone from his labs.
"Hey! Play the video back to the girl!" A voice commanded.
The man looked back and saw a Reaper standing behind him, the same one that was a part of the group that attacked Nebula the night before. The man turned to the cameras and rewind the video till Nebula was on the screen. The Reaper took a good look at her till he realized who she was, as he recognized her from the night before.
"Hey! I know that kid! She's the same one who escaped me and my men last night!" The Reaper exclaimed.
"She is? But why are you surprised to see her in the video?" The man asked.
"Well she was shot with one of our stingers, they would've killed her in three hours. So the idea she's alive is unreal... I'll need to send out some of my men to their location and bring the two right here," The Reaper stated.
"Alright I'll continue observing the two and let you know of any changes," The man explained.
"Understood, now let's get some answers on those two," The Reaper stated as he left the room leaving the man alone to observe the two.
Later on with Nori and Nebula, the two were now in an open field they were able to find without much hassle.
"Alright Nori let's practice," Nebula stated.
Nori's eyes glimmered when she heard that, she then saw a bolder formation and decided to try and blast it.
"ARM BLASTER!" Nori called out and pointed her arm at the boulders. Unfortunately nothing happened to which Nori groaned in frustration.
"Ugh! Come on! The history stuff I read said that Tecncars can turn their hands into whatever weapons they want!" Nori complained angrily.
"Well that's where the connection comes in or as the Tecncars call it, Autonetics Connection. So let's try working together and hopefully something will happen this time," Nebula suggested.
"Hmm... alright! Let's give it a try!" Nori exclaimed.
Nebula smiled and using the training she got from the simulations at the training center began the process of creating weapons. The simulation replicated the Autonetics Connection perfectly so she was confident in herself. After some time of concentration Nebula was able to form the image of a blaster in her mind. A blaster then formed on her hand which made Nebula believe that it had worked, though she wanted to be sure about it.
"Hey Nori, did your hand change?" Nebula asked.
"OMG! Yes it did! So this is how the connection works! Tecncars can't form weapons on their own so they need someone to form an image of it in their mind!" Nori explained as she fully understood how the Autonetics Connection worked with humans and Tecnars.
"Yes, now let's wreck this place!" Nebula exclaimed excitedly.
The two simultaneously pointed their arms at the rock formation and with the connection formed the two girls shot blasts of lightning at the rocks. The blast of lightning obliterated the rocks causing them to explode into tiny little pieces. Some of the tiny rocks and dust rained down onto Nori, the clatter of the now pebbles made Nori giggle a bit.
"Wow! That was awesome! I wonder what else you can do Nori?" Nebula asked.
"I'm sorry, but you two wont have the time to find out," A sinister voice said. The two looked back and were horrified to see around three or so Reapers standing right behind them.
"Oh crap! Okay our first Reaper battle! Nothing to worry about, right?" Nori questioned.
"I don't know, these Reapers are one's that no one on earth have seen before. So I'm not sure what they can do or how well they can fight, but we've gotta at least try," Nebula stated.
Nori smiled when Nebula said that she got really excited to fight Reapers for the first time. Even though she was receiving feelings of nervousness emitting from Nebula. Nori observed all of the Reapers quickly, taking everything about each of them in her mind to plan out the fight. She didn't know how but she knew that if you observed certain features your opponent had then you'll be able to plan out what to do in a fight.
There were about three Reapers in total, the first one had a single pair of arms and a single tail with a blue stinger on the end. In both her and Nebula's visions the stinger was scanned and info on it popped next to it.
The info said the following:
Blue Stinger
Venom Effects: Temporary Paralyzation
Species it effects: Humans, Reapers, Tecncars
Both girls were impressed by this, Nebula had never read or seen anything like this with any Tecncars before. This told her that Nori was certainly not any ordinary Tecncars if the idea of her being created on earth wasn't enough to go by. Nori then quickly looked to the next Reaper, who had two sets of arms and around three tails with red stingers on the end of each tail, this one's eyes were much smaller than the previous one.
Her eyes scanned the second one and this time it said:
Red Stinger, Venom Effects: Death in one hour
Species effects: Humans and Tecncars
Finally Nori took a quick look at the third Reaper, this one was the tallest out of the three of them, one of their eyes was missing, they had one pair of arms, and around four tails with black stingers on each end.
Nori's eyes scanned this Reaper and it said:
Black Stinger, Venom Effects: Paralyzation in one hour, then death five minutes later
Species effects: All
Nori and Nebula both made mental notes of what the scans produced, as while it seemed like that a minute passed it was really just a couple of seconds. The Reapers lanced at the two with their tails out ready to attack and sting the girls. Nori leaped back, she saw one of the Reapers stinger heading towards her out of the corner of her eye. She quickly snatched it and she saw that it was the blue stinger which causes paralyzation.
Nori kept a tight grip on the Reaper's tail and dragged him for a bit as she backed up from the other two trying to attack her. Nebula instantly started forging an image of a sword in her mind, and like before it formed on Nori's arm. Now having a weapon Nori smiled as she could better defend herself. The Reaper in her hand shot up from the ground, faced her, and tried tackling her to the ground, along with the other two.
Nori immediately uses this opportunity to use her blade to stab the Reaper with the blue stinger. Her blade instantly pierces through the armor scales around its body and goes all the way through its chest. Brown blood started seeping out from under the armor and stained the blade that stuck out of its chest.
"Nori! Look out!" Nebula called out as she saw the other two reapers running to them about to sting them.
"Don't worry sis, I got a plan," Nori reassured Nebula thru their brain ways so the other two reapers wouldn't hear their conversation.
Nori with the Reaper still on her blade she swung it in the way of the other two Reapers. She knew that due to their eyes being small and or missing one of them that their vision would be very poor. Just as she predicted, the Reapers only stung their companions' bodies as their poor eyesight made it hard to see her properly, even though she was slightly bigger than them.
She grabbed the Reaper with the red stingers and swung it up in the air before slamming it down into the ground as hard as she could. The Reaper groaned in pain while trying to get up, but due to their armor and hunched back it was making the task very hard.
Nori smiled triumphantly at this, but was instantly reminded of the other one that still remained as she felt the first Reaper's body being harshly yanked off her blade. Nori shot her head back to the other Reaper and it tried to sting her with all four of its stingers. Nebula instantly had a shield formed on their arm, now with a shield Nori blocked the on coming attack.
The Reaper growled and pressed it's whole body onto the shield, hoping to push Nori back so she would fall on it's friend, and allowing them to sting her with the closer range. Nori thankfully slipped down and tripped kicked the Reaper trying to push her down. While it was in mid air, Nori quickly grabbed onto all four of its tails, threw it down onto its friend, the stingers piercing through the armor and into the flesh.
"Agh! You little piece of steel!" The Reaper Nebula sting cried out.
She didn't really pay attention to this insult though as in the blink of an eye Nori sliced off the head of the Reaper she stung. She finally took out the last reaper standing via throwing it into the air, while slashing through it multiple times. The Reaper's body split into uneven pieces and fell to the ground with the brown blood spraying almost everywhere.
"Ack! This is gross! But hey we just took out three Reapers! That was awesome!" Nori exclaimed excitedly.
"I know! But they weren't really that strong, they were either weak or we're just that strong," Nebula stated.
"Hmm, well I'd like to think that we're just that strong!" Nori declared with pride.
The three Reaper corpses then started emitting a colored glow that matched with the stingers each had. Then to the surprise of Nori and Nebula, strange balls of energy floated out of the Reapers' bodies. The energy then floated into Nori, and her armor began to take on a new look, as it gained spikes on her shoulders, hips, and her shoulder blades. A tail that looked similar to the Reapers tail; once it was fully formed the stinger had the same three colors the Reapers had.
"Wow! Okay is that a thing I missed in the history docs and comics?" Nori asked curious about what just happened to her.
"No, this has never happened ever!" Nebula explained just as surprised as Nori.
As the two stood there they didn't notice the sudden arrival of a Tecncars flying past the clouds. The Tecncars flew down to the ground right behind the two girls, when they got close to the ground the girls finally took notice of them. Nori turned around when she felt a sudden vibration from behind and froze up when she saw the Tecncars.
"OMG! NORI LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT!" Nebula screamed as she recognized the Tecncars.
"Okay! Okay! Give me a sec sis!" Nori blurted out.
She quickly opened her chest and disconnected Nebula from their Autonetics Connection. As soon as Nebula was free she climbed out of Nori's chest and onto her hand.
"General Raven! General Westflyer! Nebula reporting for duty!" Nebula called out, as she saluted to Raven and his Tecncars Westflyer.
"Hey kid, no need to be all formal with either of us," Westflyer said as he let Raven out of his chest.
"Yeah don't worry kid there's no need for that. But I do want to ask you some questions," Raven explained.
"O-Oh you do?" Nebula asked.
"Yes, first of all, who is this Tecncars? And what are those Reapers?" Raven asked.
"Oh well, this is Nori, we met last night and well, we formed an Autonetics Connection. As for the Reapers, well I kinda ran into others like them, but a bit smaller," Nebula answered, and then went on to explain the events of last night, leaving out how Nori was created and where she was made.
"Ah I see, well that's not good, we need to inform every flier onsight about this and begin training for the new fliers immediately. So Nebula I suggest you head home and pack up your stuff," Raven said.
"Um What? Why do I need to pack up my things? I'm just an engineer at the center, and we don't live at the training center," Nebula explained.
"Well Nebula, seeing that you have a Tecncars of your own now, and you two were able to kill these three Reapers all on your own, I say a promotion is in order. So starting today, Nebula you are now an official flier!" Raven exclaimed happily.
When Nebula heard that she almost fainted as she's now the one thing she's been wanting for many years now. She was now a flier and had what she believed was the coolest kind of Tecncars to have ever existed, if Nori even is a Tecncars at all.
