Chapter 52 Conclusion (3)

Tumunomi Escaver scrolled down again to his list of added abilities after his 3 Mecha Soldiers had merged. If these his opponents did merge then it would be a real fight. And with the chip, forgetting was less easier than not. But Derek had told him he could never be too sure.

*Metamorphosis now reduces 1 health percent for every 10 minutes.*

Tumunomi Escaver scowled at the last bit

"Iri was this the same that happened to you when you used Metamorphosis?"

It took a while for her to answer because she too did not know that she could scroll down.

"No, this is new."

"I see," now he was smiling.

On Peter's end, a blue light covered his Reptilian Merged Mecha Soldier and

When they emerged they looked like a cross between a T-Rex, a Brachiosaurus and a Velociraptor with their defenses and offenses optimized as far as design went plus the neck wasn't looking too awkward albeit longer than usual. Finally though, the extended tail stretched high and over its head before curving until it breasted its flanks.

40 meter high and 55 meters in length, it roared and the sand scattered before it.

Tumunomi Escaver's smile was wider than Peter's who was followed by George then Jacob. John had an impassive face, Andrew looked awestruck and Jake's had his breath stolen away.

Iri gave off an arrogant smile like Jin and Orlando but Jason had wet his pants.

On the other side, Peter was Primary, Orlando and George were Secondary. Nolan and Stone Tertiary, while Jin was Quaternary and the rest of the Original Batch 4th Members were below that as Controllers.

After sorting that out Peter immediately checked out the new Capabilities available to him and the crew.

"Wait!"

Peter was distracted by George and he scowled because he found himself oddly excited at having to face off against the Insectoid Mecha Soldier.

"What is it?"

"Jin and Orlando, how did you do so many diverse strikes, I can't find most of he names of the kicks you used."

Jin laughed and Orlando answered.

"You hold the image of *Leg Strikes* in your head – or *Enhanced Leg Strikes* - then you move as you wish.

George now noticed why his seating arrangement had been changed. When he had first taken this Mecha Soldier the seat was only half weird. Now, it was completely weird. [1]

It felt like he was in some type of VR Simulator controller. And while he felt very comfortable, he was suspended but now he understood why.

"Can we move on, now?"

Peter had never sounded this angry.

"Sure."

"Let's begin with the new possibilities."

"Of course."

Far away, Tumunomi Escaver was wondering what was taking them so long. And when he realized they were playing mind games, he laughed and decided to take his mind off.

"*ANCHOR*"

Even the Mecha Soldier allowed its tentacles to reach into the deepest parts of the desert before the body lounged so much that the wings were splayed against the sand.

"Is this wise?"

"Have you been takin notice?"

"Oh," Jacob had seen it and part of him hoped that they was an internal struggle so that Tumunomi Escaver's growth curve would not keep expanding.

But he did not know there was no such thing.
