章節 18: Chapter 18 - Plans in Motion
Micro stood under the water of the shower head. He had just finished scrubbing the slime off from the Dogoos and was now letting the hot water run onto him.
Yes, he. The female form hated how she felt after the attack and so switched back. Without the more bubbly personality however, the full force of what just happened occurred to him.
'I almost died…' he thought as he let the water beat down on him. 'What then...mom would never know...would my clones stay and be able to live my life? Or would they vanish? Would my body show up or would it look like I ran away?'
He punched the tile of the shower wall and shattered part of it.
"I need to be more careful," he muttered as he got out of the shower and dressed. "I can't rush in. I have to prepare more. Maybe I should send clones in first to investigate?"
Maybe you could get stronger…
'Well that's obvious,' he thought, believing it was just his thoughts bouncing off each other. 'But how to do it safely…'
Others don't have your Gamer Body ability, and you know some high level people.
'Yeah but I can't kill them.'
There is Fluttershy. She's a bloodsucking monster, you'd be doing the world a favor. She already attacked an innocent.
'Well...I don't know that for sure...besides what would I say to the others?'
That it was self defense. She attacked and you retaliated…
'Well, if she does attack me…' with a grunt he shook his head. "Where the heck did that come from? Maybe staying awake for so long isn't healthy, even with no need to sleep…"
With a look over to the clock he saw it was only 1 AM. He sighed and walked over to his bed, creating and sending clones into the Zombie dungeon to money grind more. Seeing the female clone with Litten on its chest, he motioned for it to move and it found a spot leaning against the wall, contented petting the cat. Micro shut his eyes and almost instantly fell asleep.
A few hours later, he woke up. Looking over at the clock, he saw it was still a couple hours before he had to go to school. Getting up he walked over to the clone making a list from the Chaos Auction.
"Thanks for your help," he said, dispelling her and taking her seat. He sees some of the materials and skills listed and whistles. "This is a lot...and all good. I'm glad I've been stockpiling funds."
He scanned the list to see which ones he could work with. There were skills, materials, and items. A grin split his face as he started coming up with a plan.
Hours later
After having drawn up a series of ideas, Micro dispelled his Zombie hunting clones and remade them. Now they had all his knowledge of what he was planning on doing.
"So...any flaws that you can see?" He asked them. It was always good to bounce ideas back and forth, even if it was just yourself.
"Well...the other metals might interfere with the circuitry…." one said.
"And the signal from the communicator…" another added.
"We could always boost the signal and alter the circuitry," a third said.
"And some sources show at least two of these working with tech before," a final one said.
"Good," Micro said looking down at his phone. "I have to get to school. He pulled out his Pokeball from his inventory and clicked it. A red light shot out and sucked Litten into it. The female clone that was snuggling with the fire cat looked up and pouted.
"I was having fun," she said. Micro rubbed his head sheepishly.
"Sorry, but if my friends and I go into an ID today I want to have him by my side." He turned back to the others around the table. "You all know what to do. Take notes on anything you find important. The rest of you, game away."
We that, he left the lab. The four clones turned back to the table, where a few ingots of different type of metals sat, as well as a small pile of tiny, black machines. They seemed to be made of two small pieces attached to a small ball in the middle.
"Well team," the one clone said. "Let see if we can upgrade these Microbots."
At school
Micro sat in homeroom, his design notebook open and full of sketches.
'If I could get those to work, I will have a non magical attack and defense….'
"Micro."
'I should probably still try and get some form of armor as well.'
"Micro!"
'Then I have my bonus points…'
"MICRO!"
The young Gamer nearly jumped out of his seat as he turned to see Scootaloo looking at him. She motioned forward with her head and he went wide eyed. Slowly, he turned toward the front of the class and saw Cheerilee tapping her foot. The rest of the class was chuckling.
"Glad you could join us again Micro," she said. "Would you care to share with the class what you are so absorbed in?"
"Um...well…" he searched for a good enough lie. "Whenever I have a creative rut in regards to my inventions, I usually think of what it would be like to combine tech from different series I like. That's basically what I was thinking out."
Bluff Successful!
"While that sound rather interesting," Cheerilee said. "It would be best to do that outside of class, ok?"
Micro grinned sheepishly before putting his notebook away. As he slipped it into his bag, a certain rich brat sitting next to him looked down into his bag and screamed.
"What the hell is that thing!?"
The "thing" Diamond Tiara was referring to was the small Gaster Blaster that Micro had stowed in his bag. He had discovered a easy way to level up his Summoning skill branch. Gaster Blasters only used up MP when it fired a laser, but while it was summoned, it gave his Summoning skill branch a boost in experience. If he got it high enough, he could eventually summon multiple summons at once.
"It's a replica of something from a video game," Micro said. "I brought it with me to show some of my friends at lunch. Not that it's any of your business."
Bluff Successful!
"Is that from Undertale?" Silver Spoon asked leaning forward. She was sitting behind Diamond Tiara, who turned to glare at her slightly.
"Yes Sil," Micro said smiling. "I didn't think anyone would recognize it right away."
Silver Spoon blushed at the nickname. Before she could react to it though, Cheerilee cleared her throat.
"While I am sure you all could discuss games and thing of the like for hours on end, we are in school."
Micro nodded and quickly zipped his bag back up. When he pulled himself back up, he caught Silver's eye and smiled. She returned the look before seeing Diamond still glaring at her. When she saw that, she pulled her eyes away from Micro.
'Looks like it won't be that easy,' he thought. He wished he could just pulled her out from Diamond's hold on her, but Micro didn't know how close of friends they were...or at least how close Silver saw them as. If he tried to push too hard too fast…
He could leave that for another time. Plenty of time to make progress on that quest. For now he should focus on his date on Saturday. He had three days to prepare. Hopefully his plan could come to fruition by then. If not….
There is always that option.
Micro shook his head.
'Where do those thoughts keep coming from?'
