MBH #08 I GOT X-GENE! -3

Thank you for your response, it made me really happy that people may liked the story. Thanks for the powerstones and your comments. 

I'm really happy that people read my work. So here's the next one.. Feel the pain *ahem* sorry wrong dialogue. 

Feel the joy! 

[MBH #8 I GOT X-GENE! -3]

_____________________________

Alex felt like, electricity coursing through him. of course he should be feeling such excitement, because in front of him was a high-tech AI, capable of doing millions of calculations, scan at atomic level and easily capture the genetic information and many other things.

He remembered the task Ayrise gave him, so he thought to complete it first. Taking the Archivor in hand, he spoke, "Archivor"

Responding to Alex, a neutral flat pitch made by Archivor sounded,

Archivor:- Hello, I'm Archivor. At your service!

Alex:- Cool!

Alex brought his keypaid stark flip-phone towards Archivor.

Alex:- Hey, Scan this phone.

Archivor:- Scanning...

Scan complete. It is a primitive technological device which uses radiowaves to communicate through a signal transmitter. Detected various faults in design & programming. overall just a primitive technology, nothing more.

Alex:- why does it sound disdainful? If Stark heard this, I'm sure he would definitely feel salty for this. Ok then, Archivor, can you extrapolate Timezone data from it?

Archivor:- yes sir, I have already separated everything in orderly manner.

Alex:- Good, now please connect to Holocall here.

Archivor:- To connect, The device is needed to be scanned.

He placed Holocall in front of Archivor.

Alex: Ok, scan the Holocall, and connect to it

Archivor:- Scanning.... Scan complete.

Found a Titanian Holocall T. 04, Connection established. Please enter ID Name.

Alex:- BOSS

Archivor:- ID created, selected name 'BOSS'. Highest authority.

Alex:- Thanks. Now please scan and record my genetic data.

Archivor:- my pleasure . Scanning...

Scan complete. It is Detected that, there's already a file named 'X-Gene' and the data is the same. Do you want to merge the database?

Alex:- yeah, merge it. Now send the data of 'X-Gene' and 'Earth timezone' to Ayrise through Holocall.

Archivor:- Task accepted. Processing....

Data sent to ID named 'Ayrise'.

Alex:- Thanks. You really make work so smooth. Can I call you 'Silky', calling you Archivor seems uncomfortable to be.

Archivor:- Analysing Boss's hormonal secretion, it is detected that Boss is feeling lonely. If naming me 'Silky' could help you. I'm glad to be helpful.

Alex:- Thanks, I guess I am slightly emotional....but I didn't know you could analyze like this. Silky, what other things can you do?

Archivor/Silky:- I could scan, analyse and calculate the results, related to matter and energy. Like Technology, Organics, Materials. I also possess a memory storage which contains 3 Galaxy related information though, it may be incomplete. I could cross reference the information and help you in research purposes. Though, I'm just a civilian-class tech.

Alex:- Damn, that fu*king awesome. So if you have such information, why can't you deal with X-Gene?

Silky:- It is because, the calculations required for genetic engineering are very high and have specific algorithms. This device is just a Civilian-class.

Alex:- So, can you connect to the Internet of Earth safely?

Silky:- I recommend against the decision, even though I have high capabilities in calculations, the safety of this device can be compromised if exposed to unidentified grid. Although, this device doesn't have high safety features like Support-class, it is safe due to it's closed connection feature. So I recommend that, Do not establish my connection with unknown and unidentified grid of Earth.

Alex:- yeah you're right. I can't afford to mess around like this. We need to safely move around for now. So let's not change our objective for now.

Alex then takes out few alien objects gifted to him on Christmas, and places them in front.

Alex: Silky, scan all objects and identify if anything is useful in activating my X-Gene safely.

Silky:- Scanning..... Scan complete.

The potion material in the bottle can help Boss by increasing the muscle density. The sacred herb called, Javanioi, contains extra-dimensional energies, and at last the Kree fruit may increase Magnesium, Iron and few other useful elements.

The possibility of affecting your genetic material is 10% at normal situations.

Alex: normal situations?

Silky: yes, if exposed to extra-dimensional Or cosmic energies or high amount of radioactivity. It may cause possible mutation but Silky thinks, it's better to die than become a highly mutated unstable creature.

Alex:- I understand, Thanks. 

Silky:- Glad to be helpful Boss. 

Feeling helpless about current situation, Alex thought, 'so currently no other options, then I'll wait for the opportunity. Whoops! Looks like I'm quite hasty, I need to take it slow for now. Keep myself in control no need to go overboard. Control Alex control.'

Taking deep breaths and running his fingers through his hair, Alex sat up and went near the window.

Watching the busy road down below, he thought, 'I am just like these people, not knowing when world ending disaster comes. Waiting for heroes to come and rescue, who wants such life! I never would.'

'This time I'm not allowing anyone to control my decisions. Current Law will fail in face of future threats. I mean in movies, many people died under Chitauri, Infinity war.'

'Tens of thousands of people were pointed weapons on their face by robots, just for being Mutant. I also have X-Gene, and I really don't want to get between mutant-human war. I mean that's total bullshit, some people, who can't understand peace and try to make the world peaceful. While, some people, who won't sit back and act like a powerful tyrant killing all the way. That's totally messed up.'

The coldness of the window made Alex come back to present, his eyes wandered towards the opposite shopping mall decorated in Christmas themed stars and lights is filled with people.

"Christmas, a festival for family", Alex muttered the iconic Christmas slogan, he smiled thinking about it, "I talked to Santa personally. His presence made me realize that, people already have their Santa at home not in fancy looking old man, who laughs loudly. Hmmm.. I wonder if there was Santa in my past life too. I think not but, I don't really know what is the truth. In this Universe, I know he is real, people of almost every myth and legend are here. Gods, monsters, devil, demons deities, cosmic beings. It resembles a cosmic battlefield."

Alex sighed in sadness, "For now, I'll wait for opportunity. I know there's many places and people whom I can take help from. Things I can use. I'm not going to be confined by laws of this world. I have already tasted the feeling of helplessness in my past life. I have realized the universal truth."

"Without power, money and authority you are nothing. Even if you possess talent and potential, it means that, you're just a better quality pawn. A pawn has ability to become a rook, a bishop, knight and even queen but, it can never become a King."

"I wanted to become that King, but at that time, I didn't possess the guts, to do what it takes. And same here! I'm really afraid to go against such monsters, monsters in human skins. *Sigh* what can I say, at the end, I just wanted to be a normal person."

"That's what you wanted to hear right? Throwing me in a crazy universe", Alex lifted his head facing the ceiling but his gaze wanted to penetrate every obstacle and reach the culprit for his present condition, "Is this what you want?", Alex asked in low voice but filled with determination, gazing upwards he said, "A depressed, lunatic and hate-filled person like me, making big mess in this already crazy world. You know what! you're damn right! I hate them. Bringing Santa and helping me won't make me change my mind. I'm grateful for your help."

Alex clenched his fists and repeatedly punched the wall, "But I was fu*king dumb to expect decency from others. I was fu*king coward to expect that people may help me. I am a failure. I failed to become King. I failed my people. I failed to protect them. But unlike before, I'm not going to believe this Christmas bullshit."

Air filled with tension and loud breathing noise, Alex fell on the on the floor, heavily panting from the strain. His knuckles were bleeding, but his eyes didn't wavered, "I'm weak, no! I'm not. This body is weak! But!"

A smile surfaced on his face, seemingly resembled a lunatic in asylum. His voice, now filled with craziness, "Unlike the previous one, This body have something powerful. The past me couldn't find personal power and had to rely on authority and money. But this is different. Pure Power, rivaling Gods and cosmic beings, money and authority don't even mean sh*t in front of power, power that could destroy worlds, galaxies and universes."

"This time! This time I'll definitely protect my people. I can't afford to lose them, I already lost them once. Currently, I have time and opportunity both. This time, I'll definitely become the 'King' who is above the pawn."
