5 CHAPTER 5: TITANO-NAL-MORS
JACE: It's real as shit!
KAREN: Let's take closer look. (she walks further, towards the ship)
INSIDE THE SHIP
AVA: Unknown beings approaching!
they were seen from inside the ship via invisible camera chips on the ship. Rex just watched them as they moved closer to the ship, he studied them closely and found out they looked exactly like him.
REX: Activate auto invisibility and intangibility.
AVA: Auto invisibility activated successfully
Gradually the ship began to fade away till it became completely invisible; they all became puzzled.
KAREN: Where did it go..?
JANE: I dunno..?
JAYDEN: I knew I was day dreaming!(trying to sound convincing to himself)
JACE: The ship was just here!
They turned to leave and as they were going Karen continually turned back in case it reappeared.
It was already 7:30 when they came back and the camp fire was already lit
ANA: How was your walk?
KAREN: Adventurous! Dudes I'm telling you we discovered something!
AARON: What..??
JANE: A Spaceship!
ANA: A what?!
JAYDEN: I still find it hard to believe I actually saw a Spaceship.
ANA: Where?
KAREN: In the heart of the woods.
AARON: we'll check it out by tomorrow morning.
JACE: It became invisible as soon as we got to it!
ANA: Why..?
JANE: we don't have an answer to that,
JAYDEN: buh we can show you the spot tomorrow.
JACE: Yeah!
KAREN: Sorry we were not here to light up the fire together.
ANA: (Waves him off) There's no problem about that, let me go get our food.
KAREN: Very important!
JACE: Yes please am famished!
XENA
ALLEN: Don't you think he might need assistance?
DR. DOROTHEA: Based on statistics, he can handle them. Each Deine twin has a capacity of 160% while Rex's capacity at constant level is 400. As a result of his body composition his abilities are prone to flexibility depending on the nature of the tasks. What am trying to say is as far as he doesn't get exposed to this type of bullet (she points to the object on the screen that looks like a dart) he won't experience fatigue nor any form of deterioration. If exposed to it, It reduces the rate of rebuilding of dead tissues.
ALDEA: ...And exposure to Great quantity of this chemical might lead to complete impotency of the nanites.
ALLEN: How is he supposed to be exposed to a great quantity at once?
IRIS: And what are the constituents of this specific bullet?
DR. DOROTHY: I'll give the two questions one answer. The bullet with a dart shape has a hole at the tip which allows the venomous fluid inside it to enter the body of the victim. The bullet is really not the big deal it's the fluid!
ALDEA: The fluid is gotten from the salivary gland of the famous prehistoric creature the great Titano-Nal-mor we don't have much knowledge about it though!
ALLEN: I think I should visit the Measeum then!
IRIS: I'll come with you your Magesty!
ALLEN: No, you can go home now.
IRIS: But I don't feel tired?
ALLEN: Go home!
IRIS: (Looks sternly at the Queen, her pupils behind to become smaller till it disappeared)
ALLEN: (Acts like she's being hypnotized) ok then!
DR. DOROTHEA & ALDEA: ( gasped in shock)
IRIS: (sly smile)
ALLEN: (Touches her head) I feel like something just happened and I missed it.
Aldea and Doctor Dorothea looked at Iris who wore a mischievous smile.
ALLEN: (Suspecting something) What's wrong with the three of you?
IRIS: (Uneasy) Em...no...nothing My.. Q..Queen
ALLEN: Iris Did you compel me?
IRIS: N...no
ELLEN: (Raises a brow) you know I know when you lie.
IRIS: I compelled you!
ELLEN: Iris!!
IRIS: (Scared) I-I'm sorry your majesty, I truly am.
ALLEN: What is the 6th code of conduct rule of Xena
IRIS: "Never use your powers for your selfish interest"
ALLEN: And if it is defaulted? (Smirks)
IRIS: (Kneels and begins to sob) Please.....I beg of you don't take my powers from me, I promise it won't happen again.
ALLEN: You know we're at the right place don't you? (Looks at Dr. Dorothea and Aldea) you know what that means don't you?
IRIS: (sobs even louder) yes I do (tears began to flow freely from her eyes)
ALLEN: (Turns to leave, stops and then turns to Iris) You look cuter when you cry..... follow me.
Iris quickly stood up and followed her.
THE NEXT DAY
HILLEETLA CAMPGROUND 9:30
JACE: It was here! (He points at the area the ship was)
KAREN: I guess it became invisible again as it sensed us coming.
AARON: It sensed us? How possible?
JACE: (to Aaron) Dude it might be programmed with artificial intelligence!
ANA: What do you suggest we do guys
CHRIS: maybe call the corps?
JACE: I agree with you.
KAREN: Wait! What do we tell them? we don't even have evidence?
Just as they spoke the ship started to become visible again.
AARON: Woah!
ANA: (brings out her phone)
KAREN: wait! Not yet.
They began to move round the ship and we're awed by the sight
AARON: Shit! This bitch is dope!
KAREN: Yh really dope.
ANA: Can I take pictures now??
KIM: Yeah, go on!
JACE: Guys, are you thinking what am thinking?
AARON: No 'cause we don't know what you're thinking!
JACE: what if this ship belonged to the aliens?
KAREN: I think you're right, it doesn't have the flag of any country only a symbol looking like an X and Z tangled up (pointing at the big symbol encrypted at the left part of the ship)
ANA: Maybe we should just tell the corps!
JACE: Definitely! But after it camping.
XENA
AT THE CITY'S MEASEUM
Queen Allen and Iris enters and as soon as they entered, everyone acknowledged her presence by bowing though she paid no attention and kept walking straight to Ens-or's office (the best histologist in the history of Xena). Before they could reach the door it already opened and Professor Ens-or an old man probably in his 70s welcomed them.
ENS-OR: You are welcome your Majesty and Miss...?
IRIS: Oh, Iris! (Stretches her hand for a handshake which is reciprocated)
ALLEN: I'll go straight to the point, tell me about the prehistoric Titano-Nal-mor!
ENS-OR: (moves to a big book shelf at the other end of his big office and takes out a big book at the end of a row of gaint books) All you need to know about Nal-mors are in this book. (He places the book gently on his table and opens it) The Great Titano-Nal-mors were the most deadly prehistoric creatures of all times as they existed thousands of years ago. They were found in the Northern and Southeastern part of Xiria. They had the structure of the Komodo Dragon of planet Earth with a tongue 50-foot-long and weighing up to 10,000 tones. A matured Nal-mor grows up to 300 feet, weighs up to 200,000 tons and were 500-foot-long; their heart rate ranges from 120-125 beats per minute. (To Iris who was already opening her mouth) Mind blowing right?
IRIS: Yes! I must confess it is really fascinating, I wish I could see one!
ALLEN: Ahem!!
IRIS: sorry...
ALLEN: (whispers to Iris) I'm still mad at you! (To Ens-or) go on professor.
ENS-OR: (takes a sip from a glass of water on his table) The force on a Nal-mor's bone is roughly 2 times as greater than the force on a Godzilla's, so their bones would need to be phenomenally strong about 4x as tough as some titanium alloys. The Nal-mor's cartilage would be about 12 times stronger than that of a hyper-human's. Their bodies are as hard Graphene and at the same time soft. (Queen Ellen and Iris seemed visibly confused). I understand you're confused but I'll put you through. Their skins are plated with metal hides and as hard as Xopifin, Xenan Graphene. This property can be seen when they are shot at; they then turn soft afterwards. (Relief was written on their faces).
