Nyx's Phantasma Act 2

Chapter 20: Flask Project

Chapter 20: Flask Project

Eloria glared at Lucy, "So this bitch is following us?"

Lucy glared back at Eloria, "Who are you calling a bitch!"

Alina stopped them, "Stop it!"

August turned around, "Hyde, how long does it take you to charge?"

"It normally takes... Em, around a hundred years."

All of us were shocked, "A hundred years?!"

Hyde shrugs, "I've lived over five thousand years, time goes fast for me."

I sighed, "Ugh, we don't have the time to wait..."

August ruffles his hair, "Hm, so them using you and Lucy when we inevitably fight the Nyx's Children is out of the question..."

Lucy turns around, "There is that method."

Rayth asks, "That?"

Hyde nods, "Well... theoretically... If we kill another of the Nyx's Children, we can gain their energy."

Lucy sighs, "And right now, both Hyde and I were at zero... But no matter what I'll never hurt my Hyde!"

Jasper looks ahead, "Hm, I can't see any island in sight... Who's the guy in Flask Island anyways?"

Lucy shook in fear, "That woman is one scary motherfucker."

Hyde nods, "She... uh she is one of the dangerous ones..."

Jasper asks, "Who?"

Lucy whispers, "Vanabao, The Creature of Magnet... She was a famous researcher back when she was in human land."

Jasper shouts, "A researcher?"

"I think she was known as Orenda, and she was part of the Flask Project."

"ORENDA!" Jasper screams out as we all look in shock.

I walked over, "Jasper calm down, what's the problem?"

"The Flask Project?! One of the most successful projects done... it discovered the theory of Phantoms. Such as the limits done, Phantasma, and many other things... if it wasn't for the Flask Project, we wouldn't have the knowledge of phantoms. Orenda is a legend amongst the community, and I for one was a fan of reading her theories on phantoms."

Rayth sighed, "Jasper you are clearly passionate... But does this Flask project have anything to do with the Nox Government? Just mentioning it because I was a survivor of such projects."

Jasper shakes his head, "No, Flask Project was done more than two thousand years ago. Which is why a lot of the details on what happend are iffy, but... the records still do exist!"

August points at Jasper, "He's scared to shit when we're fighting but when something interests him he's such a different person."

"You're not that different..." I turned to August.

"Shut up."

Lucy shudders, "That mad bitch tried to experiment on me..."

Hyde sighs, "Yeah, her fascination with experiments is kinda scary... She apparently said that this research on beings is a means for her to find the meaning of life."

Rayth sits down, "Is it fine if I sit this one out? I..."

Alina sighs, "I can stay back as well."

I nodded, "Sure, but what if you're attacked by a monster?!"
