CHAPTER 2: TRAINING AND GROWING UP

Well, cannon is thrown right out the window since having Celestina Echavalier have a twin sister. Because of that, the Echavaliers was granted a higher class being in-laws of a duke. Now Mathias Echavalier was a Baron and was given a fief near the capital to manage. Therefore, he was always on the desk managing and accounting all expenditure approvals. Nothing goes unless he has a signature. so he was basically trapped. And due to being near the capital. Celestina was often at the mansion of Aaron Dixgard. She always bring Ernesti to play with him. Ernesti also saw the Silhuette knights Early on when going in and out the capital. Since 2 silhouette knights always guard the gates.

So, someone else was knight commander guarding the border area were the Echavalier lands used to be. They are now owned by another knight family, in which unfortunately was killed by a little horde of demon beast. Other knights drove the demon beast back. The knight captain whose family was killed went into depression and was unable to pilot a silhuette knight again due to trauma of not being on time to save his family.

King Ambrosius and Duke Knut Dixgard often come and play with the baby Ernesti and Sonny. King Ambrosia was treated as a grand Uncle for Sonny Dixgard, so he often spoiled him with gifts. Ambrosius also play along with Ernesti. Ernesti was not a depressed Kunata, since he saw the robots as a baby he got excited. Both Sonny and Ernesti tried their best to learn the language and metric system.

It was funny to see both Sonny and Ernesti look at each other. Ernesti tried to sign in Japanese language on the crib mat and Sonny nods and sway his head if it was wrong or doesn't understand it. Sonny also signed in Japanese and also English. But sometimes you will hear tapping.

Sonny talks in Morse code and Tsubasa Kunata or now Ernesti Echavalier being a former programmer answers back the Morse code. They understand each other was a reincarnation from different parallel Earth. One is from Japan and the other from America. They communicated in morse code everything about their former world. Sonny also talked about gundams which excited Ernesti that he always hugged Sonny to tell him more of the design and parts of it. Celes and Cathy seeing both children was really cute but... they look alike so much that it was hard to tell them apart. Right now, they can tell since Ernesti likes to hug and cling into Sonny a lot. They often fear they take home the wrong baby. But whenever they call their names, shockingly they raise their hands when calling them. It's as if they already understand the native language at a very early age.

Emrys Frmmeveria also often visits Sonny at both of them when Ernesti is around. Emrys like being adventurous but when he see Sonny, he treats him like his baby cousin and spoils him. He often tell stories about his adventures and how he slayed some demon beast. Sometimes he brings his other cousin peincess Isadora Adelina Qsperka of the Qsperka kingdom. Emrys tells both the baby Ernesti and baby Sonny about how excited he is to start training as a Silhuette Knight in Kushpercha kingdom in the future.

Emrys: "So baby cousin, did you know Kuschpercha's princess Eleonara Miranda Kuschpercha is a few years older than you. And if the king doesn't get a heir or a son in the future, they are talking about you being bethrowed to her. Meaning you trapped baby cousin hahaha"

Sonny: "(Gua wash, do gas nah nah) Oh hell no, I'm gonna live forever. I'm gonna travel you dumb cousin."

Emrys: "Hahaha, its funny how you answer back. It's as if you understand me already. You cant even form words yet let alone mama and papa. So make your cousin proud and make your first words be Emrys. Hahaha!"

All of a sudden, Sonny yelled out his name.

Sonny: "Umeish! Umeish! Umeish!"

This shocked everyone, especially Emrys. Emrys was frozen hearing his name. It was the baby's first word.

Catherine: "Noooooo~, I wanted the baby to say mama first."

She rushed to Sonny and snatched him away from Emrys.

Catherine: "Come on now son, say mommy, mama or mother. Say any please please please.

Sonny: "(Thinking to tease his mother) Please! please! please!"

Catherine: "Nonono say mama, say mama.

Sonny: " mohmoh, moh.

Catherine: Noooo~ Say mama, m-a-m-a.

Sonny: "Mooohh~, moooohh~...

Catherine: (With depressed face) "I can't believe Emrys stole the baby's first word from me. buhuhu~."

Sonny: " So I can't say the letter n sound due to my weak tongue. M is no problem since i use my lips. R is impossible. Sigh~ oh well.

While Sonny was analyzing his speech problems, the Echavalier family arrives. Today, they were celebrating Sonny's birthday. 5 months ago they celebrated Ernesti's bday in which Ernesti spend the day clinged into Sonny like a koala on a tree. Since they communicated in morse code by tapping at each other's skin.

So as soon as they put the two down, Ernesti started crawling to him then latch upon Sonny like a predator caught its prey. Everyone thought it was so cute and hired an artist to start painting the scene. King Ambrosius even ordered some court magicians and other painter to paint the scene they're seeing. He was the grand uncle so he has the right to spoil the 2.

While clinging to Sonny while tapping morse code

Ernesti: "Quickly, tell me the specks and parts of Gundam Dynames in which was piloted by the diseased Neil Dylandy aka Lock-on Stratos."

Sonny: "Alright, alright... geez, and I thought your the older one between us."

Sonny talked about the parts and also showed them via mind transfer. It's a unexpected power he just found out. So Ernesti started looking around the Gundan warehouse and awed at the site. The parts are hard to find. Most metal used on the Gundam was a metal formed from a dead star. It has it's own gravity and was as heavy as hell. The real Gundam has a metal of c-cabon metals. So sonny explained the possible substitute. He also explained the propulsion engines with GN particles. The possibility getting the parts in this world was close to nothing. But they can study the Silhuette knight design to see the possible substitute. Sonny also explained on how he cant pilot them until his 12th bday. And also he alone can pilot them.

Also the Gundam were indescribable and all the melds are impossible to take apart.. Even his laser pistol was hard to disassemble.

As days flew by, then weeks... months then years. Soon his 5th bday came. Ernesti came by with his family.

Ernesti: "Here you are cousin! I give you your present."

Ernesti hand over a heavy rectangular gift wrapped perfectly by a professional. Sonny ripped off the wrapper and surprised it was a thick book of beginners guide to magic.

Sonny: "A magic book, thanks Ernie. This is a great bday present."

Then Ernesti hugged Sonny I. front of everyone.

Ernesti: "Sonny, please show me a gundam wing 00. Come on use your power.

Sonny: "Alright alright. Hold tour horses. My gundams not going anywhere.

Meanwhile the rest of the family smiles at their interactions.

King Ambrosius: "If I didnt know any better, they look so much as twins. Can't tell them apart unless little Ernesti starts to hug Sonny there."

Duke Knut Dixgard: "Sigh~ you think they're a little too old to be hugging like that. I mean they are both boys but seeing them now. They look like 2 girls hugging each other. It throws me off a lit. Did I get a grandson or a grand daughter."

Catherine: "Well, I'm planning to let Sonny grow his hair more. Also, I bought some dresses. hehehe"

Aaron: "Not again, I thought we talked about this. You gonna mess our son's perceptions of things."

Celestina: "I'm with my sister. Also, I bought some dresses for our Ernesti also.

Isadora: "Eeeep! I wanna see! I Wanna see! Quickly make sonny wear the dress."

Emrys: "Isadora, your trifling a man's dignity... Well if it's the both of them then it's alright. They look like girls anyways hahaha."

Martina: "Nice suggestion daughter. I also brought a dress as present to little sonny here."

Aaron: "You guys this is my son were talking about."

Catherine: "Hush now dear husband. We can only do this at his age. Once he grows up, we cant do this anymore. So shut up so we girls can enjoy this moment.

The day was spent him playing dress up like a barbie doll. The girls screaming at how cute he was and was even more better looking than any girls. They even put make up. sometimes too much that he look like a geisha but it attracted the ladies even more. They did the same to Ernesti. But Ernesti always hugged Sonny and the effects doubled or tripled. King Ambrosius hired again some painters and named the painting little goddeses.

After everyone left. Sonny studied the beginner magic book. He reviewed the theory behind it. Since he has perfect photographic memory and high comprehension, He finished the book after 2 days. Afterward, reviewed the scripts and coding to make magic work. He also found that he needed a catalyst. In the form of magic crystals. Most magic crystals come from magic beast cores. The crystals can store an energy called mana and using scripts can perform nature magic.

Humans don't have mana coils to store mana in their bodies, so they rely on the cores then they manipulate the mana built up in the cores to get the right reactions. Like how fire is made. You need the heat source, fuel and oxygen to get a chemical reactions. The different fuel used the theater the reaction. Also oxygen or different gas with oxygen on the mix can change the color and add in greater heat. The source is the core. It can also be the target source for the fire.

Then he also started swordsmanship through his mother since his dad is busy managing the kingdom since his grandfather pushed all the duke duties unto his father to get him ready to take over the Duke position once he retires.
