Freya

I woke and found that when I opened my eyes I couldn't see which was weird because normally when I opened my eyes I could see. So instead I asked Titania in a sing song voice

“Soooooo how did we do”

It was a success however when you sealed yourself off from the swarm it was a little too late so a small number got into your hole with you lucky not enough to be lethal before Helena found you but all of your limbs and good amount of your organs are ruined along with your eyes. But you have more than enough points to replace them.

“Oooooo how many points do I have?!”

You currently have a total 5,443,949 points as on top of the number you and the swarm killed you also got 60% from every Antithesis that was killed in the vanguard response as most were in some way hampered by the swarm

“Yay, what do you think we should do”

After spending 742,200 to get the catalogs for biological nanites, melee weapons, learning architectures, high strain enhancements, medical, and two new catalog for speed enhancing armor and offensive space warping technology class four.

I then decided it was time to spend the big points with titania’s advice, I spent 1,000,000 points to bring the high strain enhancements catalog to class 5, and I spent another 1,000,000 points on my new body, as my previous fleshy one was apparently a bit broken with most of it being gone.

Which was just as well as the only thing sticking around would be my brain the rest of me would be made of designs from the high strain enhancements but would be made of nanites. Which meant it was going to have some very interesting properties, such as if something was going to do enough damage to actually damage me the nanites about to be hit could move out of the way causing the attack to not land.

Unfortunately this was not perfect and some nanites would be lost, when this happened the amount would be determined by the strength of the attack. However this is why I had two new organs whose jobs were to make more nanites and store them until they were needed, these nanites allowed me to heal extremely quickly. This happened pretty fast so as long as I didn’t take damage faster then I could replace lost nanites I would be fine.

The biggest weakness left was my brain which, despite a few additions, one of which would let me process information faster and more of it which could be accelerated to a much greater degree whenever I wished, was still mostly my original human brain. Sure it was capable of taking much more of a beating then any normal brain and could operate through a lot of what should be instantly lethal damage, the fact remained if some Antithesis pulped my brain I was dead nothing I could do about it. For now, damn you stupid fleshy brain. For that reason my skull and skin of my head were not built to move instead it was built to be as resilient as possible.

Besides a few new organs and removing a few my body would still operate a lot like a normal body.

I would still need to eat not just for my brain but my nanites would also get the fuel that they needed from what I ate, and to distribute that fuel I still had something a lot like blood.

Also to pump that blood I still had a heart of sorts, well hearts I had three of for redundancy to make sure I could still get fuel to my body in case something happened and I didn’t have the nanites to immediately repaire my heart.

To get oxygen for my brain I had something a lot like lungs. This means I still needed to breath, except for if I was going to a place without air like underwater or space my lungs could act as a kind of air tank that in combination with their rebreather function treating the air I, for lack of a better term, exhale and ability for my body to get more oxygen off of what I drank, meaning I could survive indefinitely without breathing in.

Also I would no longer have to go to the restroom which was a nice feature. After the titania finished deciding on the parts we moved on to what I would look like and once that was done, I then designed my new weapons.

I then spent 200,000 points on my new clothes. Then I was stuck waiting for everything to install and out of things to design, which I found really boring.

Until at last it was finally done and as I thought back on life I couldn’t help but laugh, I didn’t understand half of her choices any more, they just didn’t make any sense so as I woke, I did so giggling at the absurdity of it all. Until finally I focused on the room around me and as I did I could see Antithesis lurking there all around me so I immediately tensed getting ready to fight.

But then the door to the room I was in burst open and Mia came running in. I turned her way, eyes wide fist clenched and instead of slowing down or being cautious Mia promptly ignored all the warning signs and scooped me into a hug. As she did, all the Antithesis lurking around the room disappeared. I hummed happily as my friend hugged me.

Mia finally let go of me and looked at me and asked

“So how are you?”

To which I happily chirped back

“I am great! I got so many points for the fight to get to the chamber and for setting off the swarm! I can’t wait to try my new body out! Oh that reminds me, is there a mirror I haven't seen it yet.”

Mia pointed over at the way to the bathroom in which I found a large mirror.

My new body didn’t look too much different then my old fleshy one, even though now everything was made of nanites.

I still was short at 5 foot, my face was the same she was still pale, she still had the curves same pronounced curves I thought about increasing from a C cup but didn’t I may be crazy but I wasn’t stupid, unless it turned out that it would help me woo a curtain fox, then I might have to reconsider.

However my muscles were much more defined which I was very happy about.

My hair was still black and long, almost reaching my butt, but now had streaks of purple.

However on top of my head sat two black wolf ears. I reached a hand up a touched one and found it to be very sensitive, I would have to be careful not to let anyone else touch them and if they did I could kill them, or chop off their hands at the minimum, I nodded to myself happy with that conclusion. Also I no longer had human ears.

My eyes were different instead of being brown they were purple and glowed.

I smiled at myself in the mirror to find my canines extended into what looked like fangs. This surprised me as I didn’t remember adding them, I would have to ask titania about them later, I did like them though so I moved on.

On my back was perhaps my most obvious feature. I had two giant angel wings each even folded as they were, were six feet tall they went a foot above my head at their highest. They were black with random purple feathers thrown in to create a similar effect to the streaks of purple in my hair. The feathers, which were actually made of nanites and so were always extremely durable and could change from being impossibly soft to harder than steel and monomolecular sharp, had anti gravity properties that allowed for flight, because even with wings a human is incapable of flight, however this also meant that the feathers could fly off the wing and impale a target upon which if the target survives being impaled the feather will break down into nanites which allows them to enter the wound and tear them apart from the inside. Upon the target's death the nanites reform into a feather and return to the wing.

My clothes had taken a bit to get right, they were a combination of the speed enhancing armor and the nanite catalogs. Even though they looked speed enhancing armor designs constructed by nanites so they could be changed into basically anything. Currently I had taken inspiration from a show I liked, I had on an armored leotard which was dark gray with purple accents. On the chest in glowing purple was a symbol with my two trench spike swords crossed and backed by two angel wings. I also had a crop top length black leather jacket. My pants were leggings that were the same dark gray with purple accent as her leotard. The leggings were lined with straps for holsters or sheaths. The leggings sat low enough that in combination with the leotard my hips were bare. For shoes I had black leather combat boots

I looked at two of my straps. It was time to fill them.

“Titania I’m thinking it is time we bought those swords”

Very well Miss freya

Purchased- Cutting lethality abundant warp swords (C.L.A.W.S.)

Cost… 500,000 points

Remaining points… 2,501,749

The name struck me as odd and I almost asked titania about it. Then the box appeared in front of me and I decided that it could wait, because it was new swords time! I opened it and they were exactly how I had designed them with titania’s help while I waited for my body to finish assembling itself, the sheaths were black so black they seemed to suck light in, which now that I thought about it, was actually a possibility. The spiked handguard was a deep purple along with the spike at the pommel of the swords. The handles were black and when I picked them up they were perfectly shaped for my hands.

I strapped the sheaths to the spots that had been designed for them before drawing them. They were beautiful and every aspect about them was amazing, the biggest difference was size. Each had a blade fifty inches long, so with their handles they were only a little bit shorter than I was, despite this they still felt light, in fact due to the massive increase in strength from my new body they felt lighter then my previous swords. The blades were the same light devouring black as the sheaths, except where there might have been a fuller they glowed purple as did the edge.

The biggest difference not on display was what I had gotten from my new offensive space warping technology catalog which was all about taking the things that could go wrong with teleportation and weaponizing them. For instance when I activated my sword they would become writhed in purple fire and instead of burning an enemy would turn the place were they touch to goop by ripping the enemy’s atoms apart. Which would prove very useful against heavily armored enemies. Though in most prey it would be moot point so she would save it for when it was needed.

I sheathed them and started cackling and jumping up and down from excitement, these were going to make great new toys!

Finally I looked over at Mia who had been in the doorway just watching me look myself over.

“So, what do you think?”

Mia replied

“You are not going to have anyone mistaken you as not a samurai that is for sure and do you have a name yet?”

I nodded excitedly at this

“Titania said that would be a good idea for me. And yep I sure do, Kitsune gave it to me it is Fallen Angel!!! By the way, where are we and how long was I out for?”

Mia responded

“You were out for 8 days and this is the medical floor of my tower, you are welcome to stay by the way as your old apartment is probably not going to be enough for you any more.”

I replied

“That would be great!”

Mia had offered to let me live in her tower before and I had said no because… because… well this was one of those funny choices I had made, so I giggled. This made Mia look at me weird which I didn’t get. Mia shook her head then said

“Well let’s get you something to eat, by the way kitsune asked me to let you know to give her a call once you are feeling better, something about a reward.”

To this news I pumped both my fist in the air an loudly whooped before singing

“Freya’s got a date with a hot muscle mommy!”

Which I continued all the way to the kitchen, mia laughing the whole way. When we got to the kitchen and mia bought some food with points

You know I was really worried that it would be like you were a stranger after hearing what you were doing and what it would do to you which I am not ok with the fact that you told me over recording” pausing and giving Freya a hard stare in response my ears drooped and I looked down like a scolded dog before mia sighed and continued “but after that seeing you do that I convinced that you are still you.”

To which I scoffed, “Of course Freya is still Freya, who else would I be?”
