Kapitel 29: A Little Help Part 2

"We are…" Lana replied slowly, as if she was questioning her sister's question. "Why do you want to know?"

"First I need you to promise me that you will not tell a soul." Helen said.

"Sis, I can't promise that until I know more about it." Lana said. "If it is something that is going to bring more shame on our family…"

"My son's life hangs in the balance!" Helen pleaded. "Please just promise me you will not tell anyone!"

"Fine." Lana said. "I promise, but you owe me."

"I promise as well." Regi added.

"Okay now that is settled." Helen said. "My son is most likely the Magi King."

"Are you feeling okay sis?" Lana asked. "Why would you think your son is some king of ancient legend?"

"Because it is true." Dax said with a sigh. "I find it hard to believe myself, but it is the only thing that makes any sense."

"Okay then." Lana said. "Do something magical. Prove it."

"Well, I don't really know how to control it yet…" Dax said. "But when I was injected with nanites I blew up a room, and when I was knocked unconscious while fighting a horrible bull man beast, I became super powerful and turned it to ash. There is also this." Dax pulled out his necklace revealing the orb with the burning star inside.

"When my father gave me this ancient relic it was a stormy cloud, now it is a bright star." Dax explained. "Not only that but if I touch a monster core it absorbs it. There is also a being called the shadow lord after me. It needs my blood to free itself from an ancient prison. There is a small dragon that follows me around and calls me the Magi King.

Look I know it is hard to believe but I am the Magi King."

"That is a lot." Lana said.

"Turns out my husband might have actually been the Magi King's blood line." Helen said. "Dax here seems to have inherited the power. My husband's book called him the heir."

"I am curious about this dragon." Regi said. "What is a dragon? It sounds intriguing."

"Like a little talking lizard with wings." Dax poorly explained.

"Can I see it?" Regi asked. "I would very much like to study it."

"No." Dax said.

"Well, that's rude." Regi replied. "Asking for our help but won't even let us see this dragon."

"No, I mean you literally can't." Dax clarified. "Only creatures with a strong connection to the mana can see a dragon."

"The mana?" Regi asked.

"You remember, dear, from the fairy tales?" Lana answered. "It was like the power source for the monster king and the Magi King."

"I guess." Dax replied. "I am still learning myself. The dragon has been telling me a lot about stuff… actually he rarely is quiet."

"Sounds useful." Regi said. "Wish I could study it."

"Enough, we are getting sidetracked." Lana said. "Earlier Dax mentioned that he destroyed a room when they injected him with nanites. I assume that is the reason for your visit. You are hoping that our nanites can survive where the Nantex ones failed?"

"Yes." Helen replied.

"Well, I don't mind." Lana said. "We need more guinea… I mean volunteers anyway. I just need to have you sign a few documents and inform you of the risks involved. Regi dear, go get the forms and meet us in the basement."

"Yes dear." Regi said as he rushed off.

"Now dear sister and nephew, if you would follow me." Lana said as she guided them downstairs into the basement. There was a large lab set up with vats of multicolored chemicals, machinery that Dax had never seen before, and a lot of computers running simulations.

"Our nanites are different from the inferior Nantex ones, but they are not currently government approved…" Lana said. "Not only are they more durable, but they are also capable of double the levels of a Nantex nanite."

"So why aren't they approved?" Dax asked.

"Well, nephew I was getting to all that." Lana replied. "They are lacking a few of the safety systems that Nantex has patented. We are working on our own safety measures, of course, but such things take time. So, they can overload and kill the host, cause uncontrolled muscle growth, cause hair loss, hair growth, weight gain, weight loss, and a variety of other different side effects up to and including death."

"I was hoping for a more complete product…" Helen said with a deep and heavy sigh.

"It's what we got." Lana said. "If your kid has magic, why do you want the nanites?"

"It is simple." Helen said. "If he has no nanites and does amazing and miraculous things, then the government will notice and take him away to do experiments on. You know how much those bureaucrats hate change."

"You know that I do." Lana said. "But if he has nanites, then it can be chalked up to them. I understand."

"That being said, I really don't want to risk my son's life trying to save it." Helen said.

"There are risks behind anything worth doing." Lana said.

"You use that in your sales pitch a lot?" Helen asked.

"I do." Lana replied. "It is quite effective. It doesn't make it any less true though. Don't worry, the disclaimer just sounds super scary, the odds of side effects are only thirty percent and the odds of those being life altering or fatal is only five percent.

But it sounds like if he doesn't do it then the government has a one hundred percent chance of finding out. Which would not only be bad for Dax, but his worthless father, and for our family name."

"So, what's it going to be?" Regi asked as he returned from upstairs, forms in his hand. "Do you want to try our nanites?"

"I accept." Dax said, taking the forms from Regi's hands. "Where do I sign?"

Regi then spent the next five minutes showing Dax everywhere to sign on the legal documents.

Kapitel 30: A Little Help Part 3

"Alright now that all the paperwork is taken care of let's get you some nanites!" Regi said excitedly as he compiled the papers that Dax had just signed and walked over to a storage area. "So where do you want the shot? In the arm, stomach, or butt?"

"Wait." Lana said. "You said you blew up the last time, right?"

"Well, the room was charred, yes." Dax replied.

"Alright, so we will be taking this to the bunker!" Lana said.

"I ever so do love the bunker!" Regi said. "We honestly don't use it enough, you know."

"Well, it's been a while since we have needed it." Lana said.

"Why do you have a bunker?" Dax asked, slightly concerned by the fact.

"We also develop weapons; it is what our family is known for actually." Lana said. "I can't believe your mother hasn't told you anything about your legacy."

"It isn't important." Helen chimed in. "What is important is we take care of my son."

"Okay, okay." Lana said. "Follow us to the bunker."

Lana and Regi went back upstairs, and Helen and Dax followed them. They led them through the house and back out into the backyard. It was massive, at least one hundred acres. They walked until they reached the shoreline of a large pond. Along the banks was a concrete structure with large thick steel reinforced corners.

"Behold the bunker!" Regi said. "Been far too long since we used it. We have yet to make a weapon strong enough to crack that nut so to speak. The concrete is five-foot thick with steel reinforcement every six inches. Yes sir, no matter what kind of bomb we have set off inside the bunker withstands it."

"Well, it is also reinforced with seven different force fields that counter pretty much any type of force." Lana added. "We built a few more of these bad boys for the government. The VIPs always want a safehouse or two."

"So, you make weapons and bunkers for the government?" Dax asked. "So, you are like an arms dealer."

"That kind of hurts, coming from family." Lana said. "Helen, you really need to fill your son in. I mean, there's a chance he could… not survive this. I think he should know where he came from at least before he risks his life."

"Fine." Helen said. "Dax, my family… We are special."

"He is definitely going to need more than that." Lana said.

"I am getting to it!" Helen said.

"It's okay mom, you don't have to tell me if it hurts you." Dax said. "It isn't like this knowledge will change who I am, or what I need to do."

"Now you have to tell him." Lana said. "I wish my child was that mature."

"I have a cousin?" Dax asked.

"You do, they just started the academy as well." Lana said. "He is in S class, of course. So, you probably didn't meet him. I am sure if your nanites got toasted they stuck you right in F class."

"That they did." Dax said. "But I do have one S class friend. I will ask her if she knows him. What is his name?"

"Ron." Lana replied. "I am surprised you have a S class friend; things must be different from our days in the academy."

"It's her daughter." Helen said.

"Her?" Lana asked.

"Her." Helen replied.

"Oh! Her!" Lana said. "So, she is rebelling hard against the old bitch then? Good for her."

"Look Dax, I want to tell you about my family." Helen said. "Long ago, your great grandfather was one of the greatest generals this country has ever seen. He single handedly won a war that would have completely wiped out our way of life and culture, with nothing more than his wits and tactics.

Later he was elected as president and became one of the most beloved leaders this country has ever known. His son, your grandfather, my father, continued in his footsteps. He became a great general as well, but never ran for public office. His father told him how horrible and corrupt the government was.

That no matter how hard you tried, you couldn't change anything. Corporations control everything from the shadows. Using this knowledge, my father started his own corporation after his time in the military.

As Lana said, my family makes weapons, armor, and structures for the military and government. This has given us close ties to the higher ups, and we can use our corporation's influence to get small favors. That is how I got your father his job.

I didn't want you to be burdened by this. I just wanted you to have a happy normal life without the stress of such a powerful corporation influencing you. I thought it would give you a happier life if you didn't know. I am sorry that I kept it from you so long. I hope you will forgive me."

"I know you were just thinking about me." Dax said. "Don't worry mom, I had a great childhood and wouldn't want it to change in any way."

"I am so relieved to hear that." Helen said. "How ever did I get so lucky to get you as my son." She said as she gave her son a hug.

"I didn't know it bothered you so much growing up sis." Lana said.

"Being the eldest daughter of such a powerful family, how could it not cause a ton of stress?" Helen replied. "I just wanted out, I wanted to have a normal family away from the stress and for my son to grow up in a normal home. That's why I married for love, even though dad had the S class only rule."

"I get it." Lana said. "When you were essentially exiled, all that stress went to me. Luckily, I had Regi to help me along the way. He has really been my rock."

"I am happy that you found someone you can count on." Helen said. "I really am."

"Well, if we talk about this anymore, I might get emotional, and no one wants that!" Lana said. "So, let's get Dax some nanites!" She took the needle from Regi and gave Dax a shot in the arm before pushing him inside the bunker and closing the door quickly behind him. "And now we wait."
