Chapter 6: Innovation Put to an End

[Typing on a keyboard]

[A loud thud]

[Cracking an Ice packet]

"Ow that hurts Rose can you please be gentle" cries out Erich

"Its been three days babe, its not my fault you signed up for that 'Rumble Mania' and got all bruised up" she says helping him.

His right arm is completely bandaged and held in a sling. He tries to focus on his tasks. Rose gives him a subtle smile and helps calm the pain. He politely interrupts her healing and runs to the nearest trashcan to throw-up.

"Rude" she says laughing.

"Not you loser" he groans over the trashcan.

The Celestial Gene, made of scraps, walks up to Rose. Erich apologizes informing them that the medications given by his doctor has side effects of vomiting. He walks over to a large door. Placing his thumb on the side, the door slides open. He rushes inside as if in a hurry for something. His head feels like its tightening, ears are ringing, lights flickering, The room shakes intensely. CG's physical form, made from scraps, falls apart and pieces back together as it grabs its head smashing it against a wall. Rose stands their wondering what the heck is going on. Erich kneeling, shifting his hands over his head shifting every direction, his teeth pressed together tightly, his eyes forcibly open, exploding bright white lights. Around his eyes begin to crack and shed free, exposing more light. CG gains control of itself again. The lab slowly falls apart, boxes falling over, large machines collapsing in on themselves, lights shortening out, Screens glitching, pieces of the floor ripped from the ground, flying everywhere. The room begins to gradually get brighter. Rose grabs a rail on the side of a wall to resist against the floors violent rumbling. CG runs towards Erich. CG was only 10 ft away till it was launched back into a wall exploding into pieces. The pieces slowly swim back to a humanoid structure. Rose is shouting for CG to do something. CG replies,

"I am unable to proceed. Somehow I have been disconnected from his DNA code temporarily" it says confused

Rose makes a move towards Erich, whom is levitating 5 feet from the floor. Every step she took the pressure on her body worsens. Few steps further back than CG's first attempt towards him, the pressure pushing back towards her felt as if carrying a semi behind her back. CG swoops Rose from getting closer, returning to the wall. With the scraps, CG makes a shield. A shockwave bursts from his body, CG adjusts quickly keep them both safe. The pressure is then sucked back in, sucking in small pieces from CG's shield, boxes across the room, broken parts of the lab, a little ways. The boys body slams into the floor and rises again as if possessed. A blue aura surrounds him like a bubble. Hands and feet limp, vertical to the floor, his eyes are barely open but light can still be seen. The room grows quiet to where only his heartbeat his heard echoing across the room. The shield forms back into CG, Rose slowly walks from behind the enormous standing pile of junk. Picking up pace, she runs into a energized forcefield. She slams her fist on it, screaming out to him. Nothing can be heard from the inside for Erich still unconcious just floats their casually, his heartbeat still beating, echoing across the room. CG runs to the energized wall, trying to punch his way through. It jabs its fingers through successfully trying to rip the shield open. Its fingers glow as if heating up, then crumble or falls into pieces. It looks at its fingers then regenerating them. Rose crying out to Erich notices a misty light coming from his body rising out of view. The shield falls simultaneously as Erich falls to the floor once more. Rose holds his grey limp body raining tears from her eyes.

"You have to come back to us please baby. Baby please come back." she sobs.

She places his hand on her face, her hands trembling from waves of overwhelming emotions, his hand falls limp to the floor smacking the ground.
