Body Tempering and Blood Baths.

The other didn't say anything, showing there agreement.

Seeing this Dan smiled and said:

"Ok, it is decided, tonight I will give each of you a drop and we will have our first blood bath."

After that was dealt with, everyone had launch together before returning to what they were doing before.

When they left Dan felt as if he was going to remember something, but he just wasn't able to, it was one of those memories which were blurred in his mind, he was able to see that the memory was from the world which old Ben had memories of, the one with dinosaurs and superhuman people who had strong body powers, it's just that the memory was blurry and unclear, but he know what it was about because he was able to remember a part of it and that part said 'body strengthening'.

As he wasn't able to remember it clearly he throw it to the back of his mind, then he called old Frank and asked him to fill the baths in his and the others rooms with hot water later when it's time for sleep.

The rest of the day passed with everyone doing what they were supposed to do, Dan also asked Robert to take him to the ships the day after.

The sun had already passed long ago when all of them returned to their rooms to sleep; before they separated Dan gave each of them a little bottle with two drops of dragon's blood in them, and asked them to use only one the first time because using more than that was suicide as most human wouldn't handle that it at first.

He also returned to his room and found that the bath was ready so he dropped the drop of dragon blood.

It was just one drop but it made all the water red, Dan then took of all his clothes and entered the water.

As soon as he did he felt as if his skin was being stabbed by needles, and when that happened the memory which was blurry in his head! became clear and he finally understood it.

The memory was about a technique that the people on that world used to temper their bodies in that world, they usually do that by bathing in the blood of strong and abnormal dinosaurs.

When those memories became clear in his head, he didn't even think about it a lot before getting up and taking the needle which Anie gave him as he forget to return it to her.

After that he took a big breath and entered the bath, every part of his body was in the water even his head, and then he started to stab himself all over his body using the needle, between his eyebrows, his joints, the back of his head and many other places like that.

His movement were clean and stable as if he did that thousands of times before.

he felt the need to breath after a minute and half had passed, but he didn't leave instead he calmed his beating heart and relaxed his mussels, as he did that he felt a warm current streaming through every part of his body entering from the places where he stabbed himself.

As time passed and more of that warm current entered his body the feeling of the need to breathe disappeared and his heart beats started getting slower and slower, till he finally lost his consciousness and fall deep in the water.

Splash!

Dan woke up and started taking big breaths of air, he felt as if his lounges were going to explode with each breath yet it still didn't seemed enough.

It took him a few seconds to calm himself down, and for his breathing to return to normal, when it did he stood up and he found that some objects in his room felt shorter, than he walked to a big mirror on the bathroom, and saw that he had grown a few centimeters taller, and the little bit of unwanted fat on his body was nowhere to be seen.

He also felt refreshed and as if his body was full of power, it was the first time he felt such weird feeling, it was as if he was in a whole new body.

Then he turned his head to look at the water, he saw that the water didn't have any signs of the color red, but it wasn't clear it was somehow gray and had a foul smell.

He calmed himself and took a normal bath with clear water before wearing his clothes; he took one last look at his reflection on the mirror, shook his head before leaving the room.

He didn't know what time it was so he stopped one guard and asked him what hour it was supposed to be, the guard answered him saying that it was around seven in the morning, when Dan asked him about how they kept note of time in the base, he told him that they had some hour-glasses in the base.

Leaving the guard, Dan moved to the meeting room and set there, it had become a habit for all of them to have their meals together.

While waiting for the others to come he started thinking about the blood bath, and the body tempering technique that he remembered when he entered the bath, he knew that the changes that he experienced most be more then the other five, as from what he heard from old Frank even though blood baths are good for humans, only one season won't have such a major effect like the one he had.

So the only explanation for what happened to him was that the body tempering technique which he remembered, after all in his memories when hat body tempering technique made it to its higher levels it will allow normal humans to fight and kill dinosaurs bare handed.

Thinking about the memories in his mind of peoples fighting dinosaurs bare handed made him excited but he hurriedly calmed himself, as he knew that only two drops of dragon's blood won't be able turn him to that.

He also started thinking about the relationship between the blood baths and the technique he remembered, it was quite obvious that the blood baths were probably a backward form of the body tempering technique, maybe that was the reason why he remembered the technique in the first place, because they had a lot in common.

Soon after the other five entered the room, and just as Dan expected their changes weren't as big as his.

The other five showed surprised expressions when they entered the room and saw Dan there, especially after he stood up when they entered as they were able to see how long he had became and his suite which became smaller then him.

"Just... What the f***k happened to you?" Nero asked with a weird expression on his face.

"Well a lot happened, set down I'll tell you after we finish breakfast." Dan said with somehow of an embarrassed smile, he knew when he put his clothes on that they were way too small for him, but he didn't have any other thing to wear so he wore them reluctantly.

"Hey guys guess what? I can control my power." as Dan was getting down he heard Katherine happy voice, it seemed as if she wasn't able to wait till after breakfast to tell them.

"Wh... What did you just say?" Dan asked, that was something he didn't expect.

"I said that after the blood bath I can control my power, I can feel the power passing through my body and I don't need to concentration as long as I had to do yesterday to control it, it's much easier, and this may seem weird but I somehow feel as if the power in my body is stronger, it's just a little bit stronger but I can feel it." Katherine said excitedly.

"What about you then brother?" Anie asked her brother as soon as Katherine finished her words.

"Yeah I'm better and now. I can feel my power flowing in my body unlike yesterday." Robin said while patting his sisters head, the happiness was apparent in his voice.

"And you Nero, how is it?" Dan asked.

"Well it's harder to tell with abilities like mine but I do feel that there is a small change from yesterday, like how even without concentrating I can smell a dragon's smell on all... Wait I can't feel it coming from you!"

Nero was going to say how his powers got a little bit stronger and even though he tried to hide it, it was apparent that he was happy, but then his expression changed as he looked at Dan and shouted, he just couldn't understand how no matter how normal the thing was supposed to be, if Dan became a part of it, something weird will happen.

"Well I said that I will take about it after breakfast didn't i? now let us just have breakfast calmly." Dan said with a smile on his face, but deep in his heart he wandered if the small of a dragon was because they didn't absorb all of the power well.

After that, they all had breakfast together happily.

When hey ended their breakfast and Dan saw how everyone were looking at him he laughed and said:

"Well yesterday as soon as I entered the blood bath a memory in my mind became clear, it was from a world where there's dinosaurs and humans, in it humans have strong body power, but that power isn't natural it is cultivated through the years.

"The source of this power is them bathing in the blood of stronger and abnormal dinosaurs, but they don't bath in the blood just like that, they have specific techniques that they use, the memory which became clear in my head was about such a technique so I tried it, and it seems that it worked better than normal blood baths."

The others looked at Dan and then remembered how he looked yesterday and they sighed, the technique seemed as if it really worked way better than normal blood baths.

"You better tell us this technique." Randy said, while sighing.

"Of course I will, it's just that..." Dan nodded his head, but then he showed a hesitant expression.

Seeing that Nero asked:

"Just that what?"

"It's just that to do this technique you will need to poke specific points in the human body with a needle, I know where they are clearly as the memory is stuck in my mind, but even if I tell you the location entirely you might make a mistake, and from my memories making a mistake like that can bring some big consequences, the lighter ones are being partly paralysed while the worst are getting fully paralysed or even death.

"The good news however, is that the needle treatment will only be used once, and the parts which I need to stab aren't that... Private" Dan answered.

When they heard this everyone turned silent, there was one big problem with what Dan said; it was if they trust him to do the technique as it has some strong side effects if anything ever gets wrong.

"We shall talk about that later, now Leonard can you tell me how are you feeling, I think that blood baths has a good effect on the abilities for ability users." seeing how the atmosphere in the room turned somehow weird, Dan gave them enough time to think about it as he asked Leonard about what the blood bath changed for him.

"I can't really feel any changes except my body's power getting a little bit better." Leonard said while scratching his head.

"No changes? Oh did you keep the ice heart on you when you took the bath." Dan seemed confused at first, but he soon seemed as if he remembered something before asking him.

"Yeah I kept it on me, why was I supposed to take it off?" Leonard asked.

"No, and remember from now on, each time you have a blood bath you should keep the ice heart on you, and forget about how I said to remove it when we are in a fight, even then keep it on you, make it become a part of you till the day I ask you to remove it." Dan said.

"Ok, I will do as you say."
