13 Training Camp Pt.2
When Tie Ta and his party arrived, they appeared in the central square of a well-developed survivor camp. The moment they arrived. Alarms were set off, and Directed Energy weapons were pointed at them from all directions.
Tie Ta took one look at the place and laughed to himself. He had wondered how long he had been gone when a teenage girl with long blonde hair and two floating red light disc appeared.
"I thought you said we were going to resident evil," said Ouyang Di.
"And who the hell is she?" asked Yinkong.
"My daughter," said Tie Ta.
The team was shocked and well beyond confused. When the girl ran up and hugged Tie Ta, their brains completely shut down.
"I see you got my message," Tie Ta spoke as he squeezed her.
"Yes, I did. Everyone thought I was crazy for staying here. But I knew you would come back." said Amber.
"But not for long. I only have 10 days here. My team will go out and handle any business for the camp. And we have to catch up. Where's Rain?"
Amber slowly broke the hug then backed away. "We should talk inside."
Tie Ta knew what she was going to say. He cleared his throat and looked to his team while putting a hand on Reika's shoulder.
'Listen up,' Tie Ta spoke directly into the minds of his teammates. 'There are things to do around camp. Ask around to see if you can find a mission to hop on. Kill some zombies and explore your powers. Also, you are all from Anonymous and will go by numbers. Reika is 3, Yinkong is 4, Di is 5, Tengyi is 6, Wutong is 7, Lingyue is 8, and I am 2.'
'Who's number 1?' asked Tengyi.
'JARVIS similar to GOD. If you find yourself in a pinch, send up a flare or something. Be back in six days.'
--------------------------
Sometime later, Tie Ta was sitting in a room with Reika and Amber. Amber had grown a lot since Tie Ta last saw her. She even carried herself extremely differently. She was a leader now.
Amber had made coffee when Tie Ta had first entered the room. As she made coffee, she told Tie Ta that Rain died when the teams went on their first joint mission two years after he left. They attacked an Umbrella transport to destroy a weapon that would change the odds of battle. Some type of winged BOW.
One also died during that mission. Amber then issued a rule that none of the team leaders would gather in one place again. Send all five teams in different directions to find survivors and fight Umbrella on the road.
Thanks to Jarvis, each team was safe on the road, and the survivor camp was a safe zone for a hundred miles.
In total, Tie Ta had been gone for four and a half years. And when the world was supposed to be nearly void of human life, Tie Ta's contributions had balanced the scales. The west was wild but survivable because of him.
"So, how long ago did you get my message?" Tie Ta asked.
" A year after you left. I had cut myself up so badly during my chakram training one day that I couldn't hold a thing, but the drive was still there. My telekinesis awakened and helped me pull the chakram from a car door," Amber explained.
Tie Ta chuckled, "That's great. So, then you went for my light Disc, and Jarvis activated the Evolution Protocol."
"Yes," Amber replied with a smile.
Tie Ta then sipped the Coffee and savored its taste. "Mastered coffee already, I'm impressed. How do you keep your diet?"
"Strictly Umbrella agents for now. And your worry was unnecessary. I'm a once-a-month girl. Not like my daddy, the binge eater."
Reika was confused at first. She promised Tie Ta she wouldn't peek at his thoughts, so she tried to peek at Amber's thoughts. Unfortunately, Reika's mind hit a brick wall, and both of Amber's eyes turned red, the whites of eyes turned pitch black, and black veins covered her face. Her blonde hair turned platinum sliver with golden streaks.
"Tyrant Ghoul..." Reika gasped.
"Almost Stage 1 Tyrant Ghoul. And I've met a lot of Telepaths over the years. If you get caught snooping without my permission, you will be shot to death. One of the STARS agents betrayed us a few years back. Umbrella now has Espers. Not as good as us without Alice's Specific Genetic Key, but they do leave a dent whenever we encounter them." said Amber.
Tie Ta couldn't help but have a proud father feeling. After all, Amber is of his DNA now.
"Jarvis," said Tie Ta.
"Welcome back, Boss."
"Transfer all Esper Research to a portable device. And you girly, don't bear your fangs at your mother. It was her C24 code that was added to your genes." Tie Ta became serious with Amber, and her features revert to her human form.
"Then she's the reason I'm evolving so slow," said Amber
"The extra chromosome must be keeping the Ghoul in check. But that's why I'm here. It's time to start your next training regime."
---------------------------------------
Later that night, Tie Ta and Reika had just finished showering and were sitting on the edge of their bed.
Reika then said, "So, Rain? Amber called her mom. Were you two?"
"Yes. I was planning on introducing you to each other. But I overestimated myself and underestimated that damn program."
"What does GOD have to do with her death?"
"Rain was a distraction. I gave all the power to my 2IC, Amber. The experiment or protocols that I put in place were all designed to test Espers' abilities and the effect that One-eyed Ghoul mutation would have on your C24 mutation." Tie Ta then took a breath, "I copied the Red Queen and created Jarvis the last time I was here. He has access to all of Umbrella. I planned to have him run the experiments, then Rain and I started up. Then I met Amber and wondered if we could ever have kids. Now we have a daughter with a bit of both of us."
"GOD wants natural evolution. But not even it can predict random mutation in humans. And then I came along and turned this world into a petri dish for it. And it controls the time. This time ratio is completely illogical. GOD wanted us here at this moment for some reason."
Tie Ta couldn't contain GOD. He needed to learn GOD's Parameter's someway somehow. But then again, that's why he created Jarvis. Tie Ta pushed himself up and walked towards the door.
"Where are you going?" asked Reika.
"To see an old friend."
----------------------------------------
Sometime later, Tie Ta was sitting with Amber at the only computer in the camp. Tie Ta had plugged in a USB drive and began to update Jarvis. The key to a successful AI was its ability to learn. So Tie Ta fed Jarvis knowledge from GOD's realm. Knowledge beyond even the most advanced modern works.
"You should tell the camp to man the walls. Jarvis will be down for a while," said Tie Ta.
"Already gave the order." Amber replied, " So what this new training that you have planned for me?"
"I'll let you know tomorrow. Is the lab open?" asked Tie Ta.
"Yes and five miles away." Said Amber.
--------------------------------------------
When Tie Ta returned to his room, he asked Reika if she wanted the ghoul mutation. The offer complexed her.
"What about me being the Esper?"
"You are, but bodily strength is always needed, and it only aids your mental abilities. Even now, I can sense everything in the camp and beyond since I became a Stage 1 Tyrant Ghoul."
"The only downside is eating human flesh."
"Pretty much. I mean, Tokyo ghoul developed away to give Ghouls nutrition without cannibalism. But I choose the path because of the cannibalism."
"Right. Evolutionary Stimulant," said Reika, "Give me a few days to think about it."
-----------------------------------------------
The next morning, all of Team China except for Reika and Tie Ta were gone. Reika was watching Tie Ta and Amber bond as Tie Ta taught her a few Ghoul tricks. Reika had tried to get along with Amber, though the teen rebel leader saw Rain as her mother and kept Reika at arm's length.
Amber was happy to see Tie Ta again, But Tie Ta kept her focus by pushing her telekinetic powers to the limit. He trained her sensory abilities and combat strength. Unlike Tie Ta, Amber's Kagune was a Ukaku. She relied on speed and agility.
Throughout the day, Tie Ta would pull Reika into training and casually paired the two during spars.
During the night, Tie Ta sat in the lotus position with his asauchi laid across his lap. He was performing Jinzen or sword meditation in an attempt to connect with his Zanpakuto. Tie Ta essentially merged his mind with his asauchi to enter an inner world.
Within this Inner world, Tie Ta dropped all of his barriers and schemes. And properly introduce himself to the nameless Zanpakuto that hid from him.
After an introduction, Tie Ta sat in the lotus potion and began to meditate. "This is me," he said, "A man that is constantly in a meditative state. Long and short thoughts, fast and slow thoughts, subconscious and conscious thoughts, are all being contemplated every second of the day. In this life and my former, I lived a life that did not allow mistakes. So I'm patient, a thinker, a decisive, conscience person. Always as calm and contained like the sea, but wild and tyrannical like whirlpools, tsunami, and hurricanes! or perfect like a crest on a warm day. Now feel free to speak when you are ready."
Tie Ta then closed his eyes and waited for his Zanpakuto to speak to him.
When sword meditation was over, Tie Ta sought to control his Psionic Reiryoku. He did this by training his telekinesis, spiritual awareness, and Raietsu. Tie Ta even tried to recreate Bala and Cero and practiced Zankensoki as much as possible.
Due to his training load, Tie Ta would leave camp in the wee hours of the morning to go hunt for food. Amber offered to share, But Tie Ta refused. Amber needed all the food she could get.
Three days went by before Reika finally agreed to become a Tyrant Ghoul. Tie Ta was sitting at a cherry oak desk reading the research data from the past four and a half years when she sat at the edge of his desk and asked him if the mutation would hurt.
That night Tie Ta took Reika to the lab outside of camp. Tie Ta then drove his hand into his body and pulled out his kidneys and a liver. After a snack and some healing, Tie Ta implanted his organs into Reika.
Like Amber and Tie Ta, Both of Reika's eyes turned ghoulish when the Ghoul Genes combined with the T-virus. Her hair bangs also turned white.
----------------------------
On day 6, Amber and Tie Ta were in the city training by crushing cars and blowing tight holes through the skulls of zombies with refined, focused telekinetic blasts.
By noon, Team china had returned from their individual outings. Tie Ta liked their new looks. His team now looked confident and more relaxed. For the rest of their time in Resident Evil, Tie Ta worked on their team coordination.
Reika and Ouyang Di became support and long-range players. Tengyi and Wutong became close combat brawlers. Lingyue and Yinkong were the agility and would become control types once they learned how to wield their energies. And Tie Ta remained the leader. He plugged holes in the defense, attacked opens, coordinated, and made long-range attacks when needed.
With their assignments, Team China went out into the apocalyptic world and fought as a team to temper themselves.
On the seventh day, Tie Ta made a video telling Amber about the Kakuja and how to form her own. He then walked Amber through the steps of making one-eyed ghouls so she could farm them, creating an indefinite food source and increasing her Rc levels. Tie Ta called the video, 'Project Star-Fish Plantation.'
Eat one leg and then eat the other while the first one grows back. As long as the ghoul was alive, everything eaten would be grown back, kind of like starfish.
-------------------------------
After Team China returned to GOD's dimension, there were only eight days left before the movie.
They took one day to rest, and on the seventh day, Tie Ta invited everyone over to have a serious conversation about a risky mission he wanted to undertake. He first put on the original Mummy, followed by The Mummy Returns, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, and finally The Mummy(2017).
Tie Ta then explained that The Mummy(1999) would be the next movie mission. A mission that held many rewards but not as many rewards as The Mummy (2017). Tie Ta explained that he earned a reward last Mission that gave him the opportunity to pick the next mission.
"So after a Pagan God almost killed you, you want to go to a Movie where a Pagan God's whore, is trying to bring her Pagan God-lover to earth. Doesn't everyone see how fucked up that is," said Wutong.
"But unlike, Bughuul, Set is trapped in the underworld. And the Mummy princess isn't actually alive until Tom Cruise frees her," said Lingyue.
"We can always destroy the gem and drown that mummy bitch in a pool of mercury." added Yinkong, " Both of these movies are easy."
"The Egyptian magic is always helpful. And both books of magic are in both movies," said Ouyang Di.
"So The Mummy(2017) it is?" asked Tie Ta.
"Sure," said Di
"Yup," Yinkong added.
"Why not?" Lingyue replied.
"I want to fight that Hyde fella," said Wutong
"We are so going to die this time." Tengyi groaned.
