1 Failure or success?

===Natsu's 'point of view'===

Not knowing when, but my head went dizzy and soon I felt weightlessness before a crashing sensation hit me.

BANG!

Confusion overtook me as I was rolling on the ground. However, I quickly realised what just happened. My nanobots suit lost its energy and I crash down from the sky.

I tried to stabilise, but couldn't. It seems I have broken bones all over the body. Thankfully, I had taken anti-pain serum or else I would have been screaming in pain by now.

The people who were pursuing me now surrounded me. Several were standing on ground and several were hovering in air. All of them were wearing the same dark black Nanobots suit similar to mine.

One pursuer walked up to me, as nanobots around his face stated to de-mask, revealing a perfect villain like face. He smiled at me: "kahahahaha… I finally caught you slippery brat!"

"Did you really?" I questioned him back. Even though it look like I am in a precarious situation, but believe me I am not.

Seeing my confident smile, Mr. Villain felt uncertain. He cautiously moved towards me and just when I was finally within his reach, he froze, as an airship which I borrowed from my friend appeared above us and pointed its weapons towards everyone except me.

"Any last words?" I said in an unemotional tone. But my eyes were as cold as it could be because I was angry that I had to use one of my trump cards on these fellows, which I found wasteful.

"Damn, You." Mr. Villian spoke his last words before the lasers obliterated him and his mobs. Even their ashes weren't left behind.

A light projected from the airship and elevated me into the airship.

"Rose, to the Jasmine towers at full-speed." I spoke to the AI of the ship.

(roger that, sir) Rose's voice was pleasant to hear.

****

Soon I reached my destination, Jasmine towers.

A huge 100 floor building, with a large open deck at 90th floor. It was actually a party deck use by my father before he met my mother Jasmine and got married.

My Mother found it wasteful and turned this party deck into airship landing spot.

Slowly the airship landed on the deck, and I asked Rose to contact the AI of jasmine tower, whose name was also Jasmine.

Why was her name jasmine? well she was named after my mother silly. And why was she named after my mother? well...… I don't know.

well back to the present situation

It didn't even took a minute for two robots to come and carry me to my secret base.

"Aunt…" My tone was soft and despite how calm I looked now, I was quite tense.

(Tch…) An expected tongue clicking sound resounded throughout my secret base. My AI was a moody one, if it weren't for my injured state I am sure she wouldn't even trouble herself replying to me.

"Aunt Jasmine"

(TCH!)

"Sorry, Aunt Jasmine…." I braced myself for what was going to come.

(Sorry? Does a rascal brat like you even understand what sorry means!?) Aunt Jasmine spoke in a frosty tone.

"....."

(what? Don't have any words to speak?!)

ah, this will be a headache "Aunt, I truly am sorry and I really mean it!"

(hahahahahahaha...! You mean it, honestly? The great Natsu Black and the genius Victor Brown actually mean it. THEN WHY ARE YOU THIS INJURED!!)

I could feel her anger, however, despite the situation my heart was feeling warm. She was the only one who truly cares about me.

I really want to hear her chiding more. But time was pressing. My enemies could surround Jasmine towers at any time.

" Aunt, can we do this later, please?" I made myself look pitiful.

(Humph!) she snorted, but I know she accepted my willfulness because of my endangering situation.

A robot controlled by Aunt Jasmin laid me on jelly bed of healing pod.

(I am desynchronizing the suit.) Aunt Jasmine said.

I blinked my eyes, signaling that I am ready.

Then the door of the healing pod closed, and a blue light ran from head to toe. After a few seconds a numb sensation spread throughout my body and I felt something was cut off from me. This feeling always makes me feel weird.

Like a dark goo, the nanobot suit reverted into a smart watch on my left hand, leaving me naked.

Even though I couldn't see my body but I know it in a terrible mess.

The blue jelly bed turn into golden liquid as I slowly drowned into it. And my broken bones and traumatic tissue repaired at a visible rate. It only took me a minute to heal fully.

I exited the pod, removed the holo-watch and took the holo-watch which I call vertrix and placed it on my left hand and activated it.

(It's pleasant seeing you again, master) a devilish voice came out of vertrix. It was my personal AI, Vermillion.

Sigh, why do I feel this fellow is suffering from a 8th grade syndrome. Anyway, let it be. It was his choice and I have no say in this. Oh, what I mean was his voice.

"Vermillion, suit please" I said in a plane tone.

(As you wish, master) Vermillion said. and soon I was covered in a black ironman suit.

I took a lengthy breath before waking towards a round smart table "Aunt, open the locker."

The locker was at the center of this table and it required aunt Jasmine's and my combined effort to open it.

I started typing on Virtual keyboard at neck breaking speed, holo screens appeared illustrating the binary codes which scrolled down rapidly till the green 'Access Granted' mark appeared on every virtual screen.

Like an object emerging out of water, a box with a silver lining elevated at the center of this smart table. The box opened, revealing a coin-sized cube which has some dark unknown energy that looked like electricity, coming and going from it. And this energy was also the reason which made the cube untouchable.

Of course there was an exception, Vermillion. Which I specially made to touch this cube.

[A/N: it could be confusing, let me clarify it— think as AI Vermillion as a soul form and a soul require a body, doesn't it? So the ironman Armor version of vertrix is its body.]

(I do not understand it, master. Why do you give such importance to this cube?) Vermillion said.

"It's not just a cube, vermillion." holding the cube I could feel the weight on my shoulders lessening "Its a path to my future!"

And also the path for freedom. In this world I dare say that I am the only person who understands a little fraction of this miraculous cube. Even so, this gave me hope of endless possibilities.

With this cube in my hand, who dares be my enemy.

It feels like I am getting a little arrogant here, I should hold my horses.

I placed the cube at the center of my chest, enclosing it within the armour. Before I reached at the centre of my secret base where three round portals were alined, one in front of the other. Well, these aren't some teleportation portals which could teleport me to some other place or other world.

These are supersonic hyper-drive portals and each portal could increase one's speed to a terrific level. Terrific enough to reverse the time for a fraction of a second.

(Each supersonic hyper-drive portal takes the initial speed into consideration and multiply it so one could reach at time-reversal-speed and from the data I collected we can conclude that 'not a thing had survived even one portal' before turning into nothingness. And you brat here are thinking of cross three portals? even I cannot calculate the speed you will reach, if you somehow managed to survive.) Aunt Jasmine spoke.

I ignored Aunt Jasmines babbling. As I could feel pulsation in my chest, it was not fear but pure excitement. Because I was going to do the thing that no man has ever attempted. Other might think me as a retard or a mad scientist, but I am not. I would have never dared to risk my life if it weren't for that incident.

And it's not like I will lose my life here since I have a 60 percent chance of success, so it's worth the gamble.

(Listen brat, I don't care what you are doing ends in success or.... failure. I just want you to be back to me in one piece, alive and kicking.) Aunt Jasmine's tone was soft, and it almost felt like a pleading.

feeling her care I nodded my head and said solemnly "I will be back"

"vermillion, full speed."

And then I flew into the portal.

===Natsu's POV===

My situation is confusing, I cannot move my body and neither can I use my eyes. And all that greeted me was darkness, but it felt warm.

And since I can think, at least I know that I am alive.

Now lets check if I succeeded or not. So I strongly thought of system and as if giving me an answer I heard a cold female voice.

[Congratulation host, you succeeded]

If I was able to move my mouth, I am sure that I would have found myself grinning.

"what's my situation?" I voiced in my mind.
