Listening in to a new channel I winced as I heard what had happened. “Almost four thousand of the war machines known as the caterpillar just smashed threw the French defence line and captured France last night. The army lead by the Vixen struck with such force they obliterated all resistance I have Sir Malcolm to talk about this” “Well its about time someone thought those frogs a lesson. They denied Britain aid when London was struck by flooding.” A female voice came on the radio “Its not like they were rich after the food riots. Still even if they could have done more they do not deserve this. The fourth Reich did not mess around. A standard small caterpillar can safely transport up to 200 soldiers as well as weapons and a few thousand drones and that's a small one. From the recording I would say the newer caterpillars are all at least mid size. So if even half carried troops. That's at least 400,000 to 500,000 troops. The ones that attacked France had almost no super back up but yet they obliterated the teams of supers sent to stop them. From the few recording I have seen there far more advanced than Britons. We should be looking to purchase the design. Especially just the missile carriers. One fired almost 20,000 missiles in under a minute killing several supers at once. Its a simple and cheap counter to supers”
I switched channels “This unprovoked assault by the fascists has shown the world there true evil. Even now the supers sent to remove the nanites in the Mediterranean sea were all killed. There families were not spared either. The world must and will act to stop the rise of this new evil.” A familiar gruff voice spoke “My ass there going to interfere. Russia will be thrilled not to have to re pay there loans. I heard that a month ago the queen of England was almost killed by giant sewer rats. Scotland is having dragon problems and Spain actually had real rain after the nanites did there job.” The female voice called out “But the African countries” “Have no armies they all decommissioned there troops after your lot convinced them to focus on supers. The Chinese might want to stop the rise of this new super power but that's it.”
Over my head there was a giant boom as Jessica and a flying super landed. I recognised the super as the Chinese Ace considered the single most powerful Super in existence. I winked at her and then spoke up “No I do not need rescuing.” Jessica looked at me in surprise “But the league could offer you more than” She stopped as I raised my hand “I do not stabilise for about a week that means that anyone after that week can take out the extra energy experience if that's what you want to call it and produce someone like your friend there. If I go with you I will still have Electra's experience taken out along with my life.”
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
I looked at Jessica wondering if she knew just how much of Electra's skills I had taken. Jessica looked at me “How did Hans know you took so much of Electra's skills from her? Our spies say he claims you can give almost all her powers to a new super.” I sighed “We used to hunt back in the day. I guess when I told him about my new ability he remembered I was always good at extracting skills. Everyone like me who works with nanites is. I did not know how advanced the extraction process had become. Even five years ago there was no way to extract a newly gained skill. So I had no idea it was possible.”
I grinned at the super besides Jessica who took a step backwards. Jessica looked at me “Why is she nervous of you?” I guess the truth mush have dawned on her “Electra you killed Electra by touching her. To become the best super you have a lot of nanites injected into you and you control nanites. The stronger the super the more nanites they have. You are actually stronger against the more powerful supers.”
I pointed at the sky “Do not forget about the nanite infested air. Honesty its a speed thing. The truth is I am just fast at adjusting nanites. Your friend could kill me but getting herself out of here alive would be hard for her. Trust me if she kills me it will cost her a arm and a leg.” Jessica and the chinese super flew off and I got ready.
“I have candy” The voice of the small blond girls called out and I slowly approached her keeping the nanites inside me ready to act. I decided it was not worth finding out the little girls name. The girl picked me up and flew me to a team of medics and Hans. I looked at Hans “There's only a seventy percent chance of it taking now right?” Hans shook his head “Ninety but the odds of her gaining your large scale freezing power is only about 70 percent. We can also stop the pain effecting the girl.”
I looked at Hans and sighed “Fine I will do the transfer myself do you have the replicator goo.” Hans passed me a vial and I looked at him “Also where is whatever I am going to use to repair myself?” Hans pointed at what I had thought were observers. “Cancer patients terminal volunteers or there is a dire beast.” I nodded “Your going to have to hold off that Ace my nanites in the air will return to normal after a hour.”
Hans nodded and I approached the little girls whose name I had deliberately not memorised and ripped part of myself out. Then I touched her head. I heard gasps “That's impossible he is so fast.” Around ten seconds later the pain hit me. I knew I was not ripping out anything. I was copying the nanites in my blood and creating the new nanites. But it still felt like someone was using a drill on me. It took a instant to transfer the nanites and then I nodded to Hans before cutting the blood to my brain and passing out.
