June 2, 2010
The following day, after breakfast, Gwen decided to find out the whole truth and started a conversation.
- So how do you know the name of this watch and what kind of pistol it was from Grandfather? - Gwen asked us with a severe face.
Having exchanged glances with Grandfather, we had a mental conversation and, sighing with resignation, decided to tell everything.
- You see, Gwen, this has to do with my job. - Grandpa began his story.
- But you worked as a simple plumber. You often talked about this when we were little. - Gwen said doubtfully.
- I did work as a Plumber, but not an ordinary one. I was a Plumber of the Space. - answered Max.
- What kind of Plumbers are in Space? - Gwen asked, just full of curiosity.
- This is an intergalactic law enforcement organization that protects planets in the Universe from various alien threats and attacks. In fact, the cosmic police. - answered the Grandfather instantly.
- And all this time, you knew that aliens exist? - Gwen asked in shock.
- Yes. I have been a Plumber for 40 years and have worked with many aliens to protect the Earth on more than one occasion. - said Max, with apparent nostalgia in his voice. He clearly misses his old adventures.
You lied to us all this time that you're an ordinary person with a typical job? - Gwen asked angrily.
- In fact, many family members know about it. But we usually don't discuss it because it's a sore subject for your father. I spent little time with him and his brother when they were children because of work. - said Max, wincing a little.
- What? Why didn't anyone tell me? - Gwen roared, starting to walk back and forth angrily.
I decided to take the floor; otherwise, she would soon pounce on Grandfather.
- Calm down, Gwen. We didn't tell you about this because we wanted to protect you from this world and give you a chance for a normal life.
- Did you know everything? - With a noticeable chill in her voice, asked Gwen.
- Yes. But no one told me anything. I realized many inconsistencies in my Grandfather's stories and began to suspect him of leading a double life. At first, I thought he was some kind of government agent. While looking for evidence of this, I found all the alien equipment hidden in the bus. After that, Grandfather had no choice but to tell me everything because he knew that I would not calm down until I found out everything. - I said in a calm voice.
- And why then, you did not tell me anything? - Gwen asked with resentment.
- I wanted to, I really wanted to. But I was forbidden to do it. Everyone thought it would be better this way. Yes, and this decision was made by your parents, and I did not want to go against them. But in my opinion, it was not very smart when you look at our origins. - I drawled thoughtfully.
- What does 'our origin' mean? - Gwen asked with interest.
- It has to do with our grandmother. - I answered.
Then the Grandfather continued to speak:
- You see, Gwen, 40 years ago I was going to become an astronaut and fly to the Moon. But not long before that, I met my first alien. One day, when I was driving home, a spaceship crashed near me. Just before the ship's explosion, I managed to save the pilot. This pilot was Verdona. Your grandmother.
- But that means… - Gwen said in shock.
- Yes, later I married her. And you and Lex have alien blood flowing in you. - Max said, nodding his head.
- But why are we not different from people? - Gwen asked, overcoming the shock.
- It has to do with the race of Verdona. She is Anodite. In fact, she is an entirely energetic being consisting of Magical Energy, but she can take the form of a human. Ordinary people are often born from such a marriage, like your fathers. And very rarely, a person is born with the Gift of Heaven. This means that they can use Magic and become Magician, and later discard their humanity and become a full-fledged anodite. - Max said with a serious face.
- Do any of us have a Gift from Heaven? - Gwen asked anxiously.
- I do not know this. - answered Max.
- Actually, I know. - I put in my five cents.
At this, Grandfather and Gwen looked at me in shock. But ignoring their astonishment, I continued:
- You see, Gwen, when I found out about the Plumbers, I persuaded my Grandfather to take me to their old base. There was a computer with the entire database of the Plumbers. For the last ten years, I have studied this data and learned a lot of exciting things. In the end, I ran a couple of tests on my blood and yours, and I learned something.
- Well, what did you find out? - Gwen asked eagerly.
- And what did you learn? - Simultaneously with her, asked Max.
- About you, as Grandfather said, you are on ¼ Anodite. There is a 90% chance that you have a Gift from Heaven based on tests. If you practice Magic, then you will definitely become a strong magician. - I said with a smile.
In fact, I did not conduct such a test, and I'm not sure if there is one at all. I just knew this, so I decided to please her and spur Qwen to the study of Magic.
Gwen only squeaked happily at my words and hugged me. And Max just looked at me in surprise.
- So what about you? - Recovering from surprise, asked the Grandfather. After his words, Gwen let me go, sat down in her seat, and waited for my answer.
- With me, everything is more complicated. As I found out, my mother was also not an ordinary person, and she was an ¼ alien of a kind unknown to me. But it looks like it was a race with high intelligence and psionic abilities, and it looks like my ⅛ part has awakened and given me my high intelligence. - I said.
Then he pulled the can of soda on the edge of the table with the help of telekinesis. Gwen and Grandpa Max watched with wide eyes at the demonstration of my strength.
- What about the Gift of Heaven? - Gwen asked.
I most likely have it, but as far as I understand, I will never be as good as Gwen. I can become a magician, but for this, I will have to make a lot of effort and work much more than Gwen. What Gwen does on the second or third try, I can only do it on the tenth. - I said with a shrug. And it was absolutely true.
It looks like Gwen, even among the Anodites, is exceptionally talented. I'm not that good, but I don't need it. I'm already full of abilities; I also have the Omnitrix now.
Still shocked by my story, Grandpa Max decided to give us time to think about the new information.
This was especially necessary for Gwen because just now, for her, the world literally turned upside down.
An hour later, Gwen decided to ask me a question:
- So you found out about this watch from the files of the Plumbers? And what is this Omnitrix of yours anyway?
- Yes. In fact, there is an absolute legend about this watch. This watch was created by an alien named Azmuth. He is considered the most intelligent creature in the galaxy. This watch was initially created to aid interspecies understanding and storage of the DNA of extinct species. As far as I understand, this was atonement for Azmuth himself. But of course, it all went wrong. The Omnitrix has tremendous potential. With him, you can become the strongest creature in the Universe or create an army of different types of aliens. The hunt began for the clock. Apparently, there was a chase, and they had to be thrown to Earth, and the robots belonged to another hunter. But as far as I understood, they wanted to deliver them to you, Grandfather. - I said and looked at Max.
- To me? - the Grandfather asked in surprise.
- Yes, apparently, the legend about you has reached the creator. After looking a little, I found out that only you or your relative could wear the watch, and that is Tennyson. - I nodded my head.
- Wow, Grandfather, are you really that famous? - Gwen asked enthusiastically.
- During my life, I managed to visit many places and do a lot. - replied the Grandfather modestly.
- Look, Lex, was there anything about Magic in the Plumbers files? - Gwen asked hopefully.
- No, practically nothing, just how to feel Mana and drive it through the body to increase physical characteristics. We will need to find books on Magic ourselves. But don't worry, there are magicians on Earth, so we can find what we need. - I said with a hopeful smile.
- Will you teach me how to feel Mana? - With the eyes of a puppy, asked Gwen.
- Of course, I just recently learned this myself. - I answered.
At my words, Gwen just smiled brightly and jumped with happiness. Apparently glad to know something magical.
- Okay, since everything has been decided, let's hit the road. It will be possible to talk on the way. - said grandfather Max and got up and went to the bus.
For this, Gwen and I gathered all our things and went after him. And I also put the remains of the robot on the bu; We still need to disassemble them. Also, finally, we need to start dealing with the Omnitrix; otherwise, I'll be waiting for too long.
Having entered the mobile home, we sat down more comfortably and hit the road.
