The weapon dealer's son

Chapter 10: taking over.

…

Waking up after a very good night sleep, Adam opened his eyes, the sun was shining from the glass window above his bed, the sounds of birds were heard despite the closed window, no other sound exists this morning.

He looked around him, no one was asleep in the room but him. He didn't think much of it, he might have overslept, the weird thing is that Gem let him.

He walked out of the door which was unusually left open, he noticed that a clock in the hallway was pointing at 8:30am, he didn't over sleeping, he started wondering where is every one. 'did I go overboard last night!? Did Vergo have a mental breakdown! Maybe he died!' he thought with not the slightest bit of sadness or regret, he had no sympathy for Vergo.

…

What happened yesterday was that Adam approached Vergo's bed in the total darkness of the room, after wrapping his head in the bandages he unwrapped earlier, he made a few ghostly scary sounds around him, he then touched Vergo's leg, Vergo was woken up and alerted, he started looking for the source of the sound, he had a hidden flash light so he tried seeing what that was.

The problem was that he could see a shadow but he couldn't make the flashlight pinpoint the shadow, it was moving too fast for Vergo to shed the light on him. The flashlight then fell from Vergo's hand shining on the wall.

The other kids all woke up when Vergo screamed out of terror, what they all saw was the shadow of a hunched back creature destroying Vergo's flashlight.

After destroying the flashlight making sure that Vergo cant see any thing again, Adam grabbed Vergo's leg, pulling hard on it, he was unable to pull him down from the bed, Vergo was too heavy for the skinny little Adam, so he made a few horrifying sounds while pulling on him.

A few seconds before the door was opened, Adam went back to his bed and covered him self from head to toe. He didn't care what happened after that, because he actually fell asleep.

…

When he met no one in the hallway, Adam went to the play grounds, it was empty this early in the morning, he started running as fast as he can around it, he could tell that he was faster then before, he ran a few rounds and didn't get tired, the play ground was the size of a football field.

'looks like I'm getting stronger already.' Although the enhancement didn't make him stronger, it made every process in his body more efficient, his blood circulation, his senses and brain signal, even his breathing. He feels more energized, he can sense the difference even though it was only 130% now.

Adam finished five rounds sprinting, he felt a bit tired in the fifth round so he stopped. He felt the pain of hunger, which was the major downside of a faster metabolism, but to Adam it was nothing too troubling, he can tolerate pain.

[energy at 5%.

Assimilation requires energy.

Best course of action for optimum results: charge to 100%, consume a 100% worth of food, and start the enhancement.

Time required estimated for Advised course of action:1 hour.]

It surprised Adam that the symbiote had a plan. 'you are becoming smarter by the day! I hope you don't plan on taking over my body.' Adam half jokingly thought, he started to be concerned about this idea when it learned how to speak from Birdy and not from him.

[synchronization includes full fusion.]

The images and concepts showed in his mind this moment, it vaguely described the full synchronization state, it didn't have two minds that information would be traveling back and forth between them. They become one, they become better.

Adam's mind is not even close to being strong enough to handle what the symbiote showed him now, hence the symbiotic relationship between them, he didn't just need to be stronger in body, he was missing so much knowledge that would take him years to just understand what he was shown.

Arriving at the cafeteria, Adam thought it wouldn't hurt to check if it was open or not, usually it would be opened for children at 10 am after the morning mandatory routine. To his surprise the door opened under his gentle push.

He found no one inside at all, looks like the aftermath of his actions last night was too severe. Entering the kitchen that he was familiar with, Adam found himself alone in it for the first time, unfortunately there were surveillance cameras all over the kitchen.

Adam stood there looking at the camera for a few seconds, he then opened the snacks cabinet, he took 20 big chocolate bars, put them on a tray, and looked at the camera one more time, then he left the cafeteria heading to an area with no cameras under a tree near the outer wall.

He knew this area because of his constant effort to escape, he had to know where all the cameras are. He took a long rout that made it hard for the security team to track him down, he also always leaves his card in his closet in case it had a tracker.

Setting under the tree with his back leaned against it, the sunlight and the gentle breeze relaxing him, Adam started opening and eating the chocolate bars one at a time, he didn't chew on it to enjoy it, he was never the type to eat slowly and enjoy food.

Ten minutes later, he finished all the chocolate bars. He felt nauseated, a slight discomfort in his stomach. 'start' he said in his mind.

[enhancing digestive system.]

The nausea and discomfort were replaced with agonizing pain, fortunately water was relieving this pain some what, he brought a large bottle with him, he finished it all in one breath.

[digestion complete.

Reserved energy: 100%

Estimated undigested material: 85%

150% energy will be used to enhance metabolism.

25% energy will be used to enhance muscle assimilation.

Permission required.]

Paralyzed as usual during the enhancement, he needed to stay in his place for one hour, after that he would have to find Miss sydni.

The duration of the enhancement went by with the usual discomfort and tingling feeling.

 when the muscle assimilation started, he felt like someone is constantly cutting him up with a sharp knife, he was able to move during this pain, every move would make him feel muscles that he never knew he had, it wasn't just feeling the muscles, he felt it being ripped apart.
