Armsmaster
Definitely not a Case 53. Not with those eyes or composure. He claimed to be a Case 66 and the lie detector did not alert him. Trouble.
That's what he is. Every movement of his says power and mischief. Militia looks ready to send a bullet through his skull and Vista… Vista is looking at him weirdly. Her space control ability manifesting strangely in her arms.
I need to do something or else we might have a battle on our hands. One we can't win from how he easily dispatched Glory Girl who is still unconscious in the building being tended to by medics.
I stepped foward to meet this Aemon.
'Let me be the one to welcome you then. Welcome to Earth Bet. I am one of the leaders of the PRT ENE. You did all this to gain our attention. Well you have it.'
Let us see his response to that.
'Awwww your goading me. That's so cute Robocop.' he said with a damn smile on his face. Robocop.
A good name for a robot tinker maybe or some sort of reference from his dimension.
'Anyway. I need some legal papers for my stay in this dimension. You are going to help me.'
'Why should we do that?'
'You don't but this is the only way you can get an idea about my powers through your testing. I might even throw in a bit of lore about my home with it so you can understand me more afterall the way our powers worked is different.'
So in a few hours he gained an understanding of us. File him under Dangerous .
Alright. I gave the signal for the troopers to stand down but remain alert before gesturing for him to come with me.
A few minutes later in the PRT testing room
Director Piggot, Glory Girl all the wards and members of the Protectorate were in the hall watching. Alongside all of the scientists and some other troopers.
'PRT Power Testing Phase 1. What can you tell of your ability.' I said while he was at the other side of the hall with the test equipments. He was floating upside down like that Chesire cat from Alice in wonderland.
'Ahh straight to business. I like that. The source of my abilities is something everyone in my home dimension has called Cursed Energy. These are negative emotions given off my humans that form a pool of energy in a person. While everyone has the potential to be a sorceror few can be because of restrictions like talent, amount of energy and other factors.'
What!
I thought it was an alternate dimension like ours. I thought they trigger as well or this might just be their understanding of triggering.
'So when a person has awakened their curse energy after a while their cursed technique is imprinted on their soul allowing them to access it along with other derived techniques. For example… you come here.'
He said and pointed to a random trooper who shivered in fear briefly. I gave him an nod and saw resignation form on his face as he made his way to him.
The trooper got near Aemon who smiled and walked close to him.
'Alright. Hit me.'
The trooper was shocked for a second before a feral smile adorned his face and he sent a haymaker which landed?
Did it? Why did his head not even shake. Even if he is a brute it isn't possible.
I heard a gasp from near me from Vista as she started clutching her head. Looks like a tinker headache. But she isn't a tinker. She's a shaker. File this for later.
'What happened?'
'It's simple really. He can't touch me. There is always an infinite amount of space between us. My technique is called the Limitless. It gives me the ability to control space using mathematical probability at least at first. Later I can do whatever I want with space most times. The technique you just saw was the Infinity. It puts an infinite amount of space between me and other forces of the world. While it looks like you reached me you are just slowly going through the spaces between you and me.'
'Space can be used like that?' Vista asked the question on all of our minds. That is like the ultimate defence or atleast close to it. I am sure some things can go against it but its few and between. Just by standing he is immune to a vast amount of Parahuman abilities.
'Darling space can be whatever I want.'
With that he put two fingers together and crossed it before uttering a sentence.
'Domain Expansion: Infinite Void.'
And the world changed around us immediately.
