章節 244: Project Natasha (II)...

[POV Reo]

Momo spent the next hour packing all of her equipment inside a magical trunk. She said that she needed all of these inside the tomb… after all, En Sabah Nur's essence can only be transferred inside the tomb and Momo needed her equipment to carry out all the tests.

We didn't even notice how much time has passed since we got invested in the memories. There was a one-hour time gap between Cairo and Elysium. That meant if it was 8 AM in Elysium then it would be 7 AM Cairo. The tomb worked from sunlight so it would be best if we start the Essence Transference ritual around noon.

So, if we were going to do anything it was going to happen tomorrow. Momo still needed to run several tests before anything else. Neither of us wanted to cause Natasha any harm. After we reassured her she got back some confidence… it was clear that she was still nervous and I can't fault her for that.

I decided to leave Momo and Natasha to their devices, if what they were doing involved some magic then I would have been useful but as soon as they involve science and things like genetics I am completely useless. The rest of the night passed normally… after a lot of days all of us decided to call it a day without some bedroom action… obviously Nemuri didn't like that but she decided to give up for the night.

The next day all of us gathered in the kitchen, no one other than Momo, Natasha, and me knew about Project Natasha. So, all of them were confused when I told them that we are going somewhere and asked them to stay back after breakfast. Jean and Ororo were the ones who were most confused after all, I never involved them in something like this.

Momo and Natasha like any good girls refused to say anything to the others when others asked them for information… they acted like they didn't know anything. After breakfast, everyone patiently stayed at the table.

"So, where are we going?" Rumi asked curiously.

"It's going to be a surprise" I said in a mysterious manner and asked Momo to create an iron ball. Taking the ball from her I made it into a portkey to Cairo, it won't take us to the main city… it will drop us right outside the Fidelius wards I had erected last time.

"Ok, everyone, grab someone close to you" I said and the girls followed. As soon everyone was ready I activated the portkey with the activation code and with a familiar tug around our navel, all of us were whisked away to the desert. Thankfully I landed perfectly but Jean, Ororo, and Natasha weren't that lucky.

It was simply a matter of getting used to… only Dora was someone who still ended up sprawled on the ground. No matter how many times she has used portkeys, she was unable to get used to it. Well, she also ended up sprawled on the ground if someone would take her using Side-Along Apparation… she was only able to maintain her balance if she Apparated on her own.

Well, even after she landed on her own feet, she would still trip as soon as she started walking. The girls helped up Jean, Ororo, and Natasha. "Did you mess up the portkey? We are in the middle of nowhere" Nemuri whined like a kid.

"Natasha show them the paper" I told Natasha, everyone curiously looked towards Natasha who pulled out a small piece of paper from her jeans pocket. She held up the paper and showed it to everyone else. The ones who knew about it were immediately surprised. Their eyebrows shot up in surprise and gave me an odd look… well everyone except Luna, she didn't seem surprised at all… she must have been waiting for this.

"Fidelius? You made Natasha the secret keeper?? Does it even work like that?" Rumi asked with a weirded-out look.

"Of course… there is no reason for it to not work. The spell only says that the secret keeper must be a human… there is nothing that mentions that the secret keeper must be magical" Fleur said with a look of understanding, she has done a lot more research on charms than Momo has done. Momo had studied about charms, curses, hexes, and jinxes but Fleur paid more attention to only charms…

"Can anyone explain to me what a Fidelius is and how I can suddenly see this cave?" Jean asked with a frustrated look on her face. Ororo was also facing the same problem. So, Fleur carefully and briefly explained what a Fidelius charm was to both of them.

"So, we are going down there? Is it safe?" Nemuri asked in a worried tone.

"Don't be like that… all the gold you wear will definitely shine up the cave" Rumi snarked in a mocking tone. Nemuri obviously didn't appreciate the joke on her gold and decided to maturely stick out her tongue towards Rumi.

For now, I decided to remain silent, I was sure that, as soon as Nemuri sees the golden pyramid she will claim it for herself. I was the first to enter the cave and the girls carefully followed me… when they finally noticed the stairs made of gold they were relieved… well, except for Nemuri who wanted to pull off the stairs and take them with her… Rumi had to forcefully restrain her for now.

"This is wrong… gold shouldn't be buried here" Nemuri whined and kept pouting. From time to time she looked towards me with puppy dog eyes. When we finally reached the bottom everyone except me, Momo, Natasha and Luna dropped their jaws on the floor. Luna is well Luna and it's impossible to surprise her…

"Please, please, please, let me go! I want that!" Nemuri whined and pleaded to Rumi but unfortunately for Nemuri, Rumi didn't allow her to escape. Nemuri started to cry in anime style… twin waterfalls were rolling down her face. It was really amusing to watch her like that.

"But I kind of agree with Nemuri… this is something else… you don't get to see a pyramid completely made out of gold every day" Jean said in complete awe. All of us also nodded our heads in agreement.

"Yes, seeing it in your visions and in real life are two completely different things" Luna said while intently staring at the pyramid.

"Guys, let's head inside… we have a lot of things to do" Momo said and started to lead the completely awed group inside. After a few minutes, we finally arrived in the room where the Essence Transference would take place. Rumi tossed Nemuri in a corner like a sack of potatoes, from there Nemuri kept screaming how unfair it was… but everyone decided to ignore her for now.

"Momo, you get everything ready, I am going to clear the sand covering the tomb" I said to Momo who had pulled out her trunk and was about to enlarge it.

"You are going to use your gravity powers, right?? But won't it damage the pyramid too??" Momo asked with a worried tone.

"Don't worry, I will use my powers to reinforce the pyramid… it will obviously be difficult for me but doable… I have to do it" I said with clear determination and walked out of the ritual room. I Flash Stepped right outside of the entrance and with another Flash Step, I found myself on the tip of the pyramid. I used my powers and started to float over the tip of the pyramid… using my power I started to reinforce the whole pyramid. It was slightly problematic to use my power on the whole pyramid but I was able to do it…

As soon as I was confident that I had completely reinforced the pyramid, I clasped my hands together and started to gather my power. Using Magnetokinesis to reinforce the pyramid and at the same time using gravitational powers were only possible because of my parallel thoughts. (A/N: This is for those who skipped the HP Arc, MC can have parallel thoughts). After a couple of minutes, I was finally ready. I opened my arms wide… "Shinra Tensei"

As soon as I said those words a huge wave of repulsion force escaped from my body. Everything around me except En Sabah Nur's pyramid was blown apart. The sand and land covering the pyramid were completely gone… as soon as everything calmed down, I started to breathe heavily… even though it didn't look like it, but it was a tiring thing to do… whenever I use my gravity powers I have to spend a lot of energy and at the same time I had to reinforce such a huge pyramid.

I Flash Stepped and arrived directly inside the ritual room. Momo has already set up a lot of her equipment with the help of the others. Nemuri was already free and helping Momo to set everything up… I could feel that the pyramid was already powering up. What I just did was a beacon to the whole world… though I doubt that someone will be able to send jets here… after all, only fools are still using their compromised satellites.

"You are already done?" Rumi was the first to notice me when I arrived in the room.

"Yeah… I thought that you girls would have felt it" I said with a confused look on my face.

"You used too much power to reinforce the pyramid… we were completely stable" Luna said with a serious look on her face. Well, if Luna said that I used too much power then I definitely used too much power.

"Well, you girls are safe. That is the most important thing to me" I said and leaned on the nearby wall. I was already recovering my powers… for whatever reason, all of my powers used different reserves. My magical reserve and Power of Destruction reserve were completely full but my Magnetokinesis power reserve was almost empty. It feels like that I am not synchronized with all of my powers… I think that all of my powers should work in sync… I haven't noticed this till now but now that one of my reserves is almost empty… it's easily noticeable.

Momo finally pulled out a casket from the trunk. I had a very good idea about the contents of the casket… "We aren't going to do some kind of demonic ritual, right?" Ororo asked while warily eyeing the casket.

"Nothing like that… it's something much simpler than that" Momo shook her head in denial, she had a gentle smile on her face and snapped open the casket. Inside the casket was the shell of En Sabah Nur.

"Who is the blue dude?" Nemuri asked curiously looking at the body.

"You are currently looking at the body of the first meta-human" Natasha said while helping Momo. Jean and Ororo were both taken aback… Natasha shoved off the body from the elevated platform. It was the previous body of En Sabah Nur.

"Are you serious? This guy is the first meta-human?" Rumi asked staring at the body. Momo carefully levitated the body from the casket and laid it down on the elevated platform, she placed the body exactly where the previous body was.

"Doesn't he look too young to be the first meta-human? I mean he should have been born centuries ago, right?" Jean asked while carefully looking at the blue body of the first meta-human.

"We are talking about millennia here… he was born during 8000 B.C." Luna said in her usual dreamy tone… she was skipping around the room while reading the Hieroglyphs on the wall.

"What??!!" four females exclaimed in complete surprise. It was Rumi, Nemuri, Jean, and Ororo who decided to raise up their doubts.

"He had a Regenerative Healing Factor, this made him nigh immortal and he ruled Ancient Egypt for more than 5000 years" Luna continued to explain, I wasn't surprised that Luna knew all of that. Luna knows everything…

A few minutes passed in complete silence… the girls digested all the information. "So, what are you going to do with him?" Ororo asked curiously.

"We are going to transfer his powers to Natasha" Momo said while powering up her computers.

"What? That's possible?" Jean asked completely shocked by the revelation.

"Yes, he has a power that allows him to do that… that is why we are here" Luna said and nodded her head like a sage.

"Natasha, you are wearing cotton undergarments, right?" Momo suddenly asked and Natasha just nodded her head. "Then take off your clothes and get on the platform" Momo was now in her scientist mode that meant no-nonsense mode. Natasha looked at me and quickly took off her clothes… it was clear that she wasn't ashamed of her body and she shouldn't be. After getting out of her clothes Natasha carefully laid down on the platform.

"Is this ritual similar to that Horcrux ritual?" Rumi asked curiously.

"No, this will be completely different… I will just need to power up the pyramid and everything will happen on its own…" Momo said and connected some sensors to Natasha's head.

"Well, everything is ready. We will begin… all of you back off" Momo said and everyone backed off, they knew not to mess with Momo when she was in her scientist mode.

"Nat, are you ready?" Momo asked in a gentle and caring tone.

"As ready as I could ever be" Natasha said and nodded her head in full confidence … Momo nodded her head and turned on the mechanism. I could feel the movements inside the pyramid… the whole room started to glow up and circuits made of liquid gold started to spread around the room. The two bodies on the platform started to get surrounded by the circuits. I had full confidence in Momo's abilities so I wasn't worried and Luna was carefree, so I was sure that everything will go smoothly.

"Good luck, Nat" Nemuri murmured under her breath, she looked really worried for Natasha, it was clear that Nemuri cared for Natasha.

The elevated platform also started to glow and blue-colored energy started to leave En Sabah Nur's shell and enter Natasha, En Sabah Nur's body already started to shrivel but something was different… unlike the other's Natasha's skin didn't turn blue… it started to become pale, I threw a worried look towards Momo who raised up her thumb signifying that everything was going nicely.

The process finally stopped and now En Sabah Nur's shell was completely shriveled and it could be called a mummy now. Natasha was still laying on the platform peacefully. She was looking completely pale now… like the Vampires from Twilight but her skin also had a bluish tint to it… it was difficult to explain in words… suddenly Natasha opened her eyes and gasped for breath. She started to take long breaths, Momo left her computer and started to cast diagnostic spells on Natasha…

All of us waited patiently at the side… after a couple of minutes, Momo gave Natasha a sleeping potion and put her down to sleep. "There is nothing to worry about… everything is completely fine. I put her to sleep because her body needs a lot of rest… her X-Genes weren't active and were suddenly activated forcefully… which has put her body under a lot of stress. For now, let her rest" Momo beamed with a smile and spoke to us… well, according to Momo everything was fine and Luna was also beaming… which meant everything went as planned…
