The tale of X

Chapter 13, Galatic trip

I left Mom and Alan and starting walking towards the research and development hall, searching for the library he desired. To my surprise, no one I had pass had tried to attack me. They all just stood back fearfully, letting X do as I pleased.

I smirked at them. "Seems like you all know what's good for you," I said as I shoved a man out of my way. "I'm sure none of you want to end up like my dad." I turned left into an empty hallway.

"Hey X, I thought you wanted to leave," Bryck said in my head.

"Not yet," I said aloud, not caring if anyone heard me. "I must find the library, I need to learn all that I can to complete my plan." I was betting on the fact that there may be something I could use in the library.

Bryck didn't agree. "Forget the stupid library! We have lot to do and talk about!" Bryck said. "We don't have a lot of time before someone calls for goo specialists to come and deal with you. So, we need to hurry up and leave before they get here.

"Fine," I grumbled. I turned around and flew back towards the storage facility.

"Oh yeah, I need to ask you something X," Bryck said.

"What?" I said as I passed the hall where I had thrown Lukas into a wall. Strangely, there was no one there.

"Remember earlier when I told you, you had several powers?"

"Yeah?" I said, wondering where this was going.

"Well, do you remember any of them? I haven't seen you use any of them, you've just been winging it and goofing off." Bryck said sharply. "You've been lucky so far, but you need to use the full extent of your powers before you get yourself killed because you were holding back."

"This goo wasn't made for fun, it was made to free me and my brothers from our prison, and we can't do that if you're dead," Bryck said. "So, are you going to listen to me or not?"

I nodded. "Yes, I'll listen," I said as I walked down a row of spaceships, looking for one that I would like. "What do you want me to do?"

"Perfect," Bryck said, pleased I was listening to him. "First I need to tell you about all of your abilities."

"Okay, what are they?" I asked.

"You already know about some of them, like your ability to use rage and fly. But with the goo, you have so much more power. You now have the power of energy absorption, the ability to turn your body from solid to goo, the ability to control your goo and separate pieces of it from your body, and heightened senses."

"Heightened senses?" I said curiously.

"You'll find out later," Bryck said. "For now, I need to tell you the rest of the plan."

"Okay," I said, "How are we going to free you and your siblings from your imprisonment?"

"There are five orbs," Bryck began, "One of them is here on undrupiter, the orb of undrupiter. That one's the easiest. It's in a museum in the capital right here on undrupiter if you remember."

The orb of undrupiter was a blend of the orb of strength, energy, and a fragment of the orb of nature.

"The other four are on other planets, unfortunately, I don't know which planets they're on, so we'll have to go hunting for them."

I was confused. "I thought there were only three orbs?"

"Wrong," Bryck said. "There are two more, a fourth orb, the orb of regeneration, and the fifth orb, the orb of time."

"Why do I need those?" I said as I paused and looked at a spaceship before moving on. "I can already regenerate, you saw that earlier, and I certainly don't need time."
