Chapter 53 - Beyond Human Part 3

The group was led into the research lab once again, all of the scientists waiting inside with huge smiles on their faces. Mag, Keith, Ver, Damien, Eli, and Zayne all entered and stood in the middle of the room where an island filled with computers and other technology laid. A monitor rested from the ceiling above suspended by a moveable arm that could go in any direction. The monitor was facing everyone in the room with a display of the dummy in a simulation program that could run real life situations in a play by play theoretical event. The scientists worked at computers to set the program they'd worked on up, but many of them stood in a crowded bubble, as if trying to hide something. The group that the scientists brought in sat down wherever they could to get comfortable.

"With Damien's theory in mind and the data Ver gathered on Zayne's very first meteor we set to work on testing out a new way to destroy Death Blade. It wasn't easy. First we had to do a lot of calculations and comparisons to our current data. Test after test after test was run to try and get the right data to replicate the same blast on the Mythanium armor. In this time, we discovered something indescribable," the lead scientist moved to her computer and turned it towards her listeners, showing them a line chart that rose steadily.

On the left of the chart it had numbers going from five to one hundred. At the bottom it had four different events listed on it. The first event was Zayne's ball throw, where the line rose to the number five. The second event was an estimation on Zayne's meteor against the Midnight Horror, rising up to around seven. The third event was the meteor against Blizzard, rising up to around ten. Then the final event was Death Blade's reveal, and that number spiked up to around twenty four. After looking at the chart and trying to understand the data everyone turned back to the scientist.

"All this time the Dragon's Heart has been increasing power output day in and day out. The most recent meteor outside of the base that we have recorded was the one against Death Blade. But here's the kicker that we wanted you to see," the lead scientist swiped to another chart on the screen that displayed the same chart but with two new events at the end.

The fifth one was the meteor clash in the sparring room, and the sixth one was Dragon Hunter's defeating meteor trio attack. The number for the clashing meteor was fifty. The one on Dragon Hunter was seventy five. Zayne began to understand a little better what this chart was showing. The scientists were looking at old data of the Dragon's Heart from before he got it to look at its total power level, then compared the power output of each meteor that had occurred to the total to see just how powerful they were. Seventy five percent of the total power came from all three of them at once, which meant that that much power was in Zayne with room to grow. Zayne felt a little overwhelmed by the information.

"After comparing notes and calculating the power of the attacks we came to several hypothesi. So we began testing them on the armor. You won't believe the results. When Zayne hit Death Blade for the first time it was just below the Mythanium's maximum threshold, which is only twenty five percent of Zayne's power. Here's what would have happened if Zayne had hit him with twenty five percent," the lead scientist started the simulation on the monitor above for everyone to watch.

An image of Death Blade appeared standing in the open. Then an image of Zayne flew onto the screen in Dragon form and slammed a fist into Death Blade's chest, not only knocking him away but denting the armor by a few inches. It wasn't much, but it was something. When the simulation ended they turned back to the scientist.

"With that much power the metal would at least bend to his will just a little bit. So we took it up a notch. We put it at thirty, fourty, then simulated the fifty percent punch that you and Eli made in the sparring room. Overall it was only about twenty five percent of both of your power, but when combined it made this," the scientist pointed to the monitor again.
