Chap 46: upgrade
'Did you heard it ?' Hayaka asked.
'What ?' Souko wasn't as keen as her best friend, with their augmentation difference, only Hayaka with a more advance system could tell.
'Weird, i throught i caught someone else on our conversation.'
'It could be shiori ?'
'No, V3 is still in europe the last time we talk. Maybe her signal accidently crossed ours ?'
'Hm....'
---------------
Inside the confine of his room, Takune eyes seemed to stare into an empty space. His eyes reflecting numbers that his mind has translate through various code for him to understand, his mind which was fitted with a minature super computer alowed Takune to interact with technology in a way no normal human can. Currently he can only access a small portion of the mass computer system S.H.O.C.K.E.R has under their control.

He was about to search for more when a red line was appear on screen in his eyes.
Access denied-insufficient permission
*sigh*
That same line, it show up when he tried to look for information of his own augmentation. He know better than to try and get through the system, but even so with this little knowledge regarding the material he want to look for, a way out is just too difficult to achieve.
Closing the program in his mind, he does not want to go and help them. He turn to look at the foldet at the table side, he knew where to go for his next mission and doesn't like it at all.
To kill is one thing Takune already have a gripe agaisnt, killing in order to help these evil goals is just horrible.
He knew they put something in his mind, he just don't know what something do. A failsafe that explode his brain ?
Whatever plan they have, he won't reside himself to it.
------------
"Ah velcome back, take a seat. Zis von't take long." The doctor word doesn't make him any more comfortable.
Walking back to the lab, he was not send into a wide room like he usually sent to test his power. Just a plain white room white a chair and next to it is a table, fill with surgical equipment.
"Chust take a seat, evferyzzingkt schould be ready." If any human see this they all would collectivly feel a sense of dread, seeing their own opperating table.
This would be his seccond time.
Takune was at his wit's end, he couldn't just get up and run, the place security would caught him before he can break through the first door. as much as he wanted to run away from here, and he really, really wanted to, he can't.
But he didn't hesitate, following her order, Takune let himself be strapped to the chair. Both his wrists and ankle are trapped by metal cuffs linked to a chain, which is also linked to a generator. With a new belt put aroound his waist.
The process is simple, his body is filled with nano machine and bio-enhance parts to replace the old one. One easy upload to his brain computer and one charge of electricity is enough to jump start his new system.
That one charge however, is about 1.000.000 volts.
He can hear it, the moment the button to his could be death is pressed. And the current too, he can hear them as they coursed through each wired part of the chair that bound him. He can hear the crackle of the chain that connected to his limb as they hit him. And they all hit him at once, making him arched his back. An ordinary human wouldn't even able to make a scream of pain with the current frying their whole body within the first ten second, Takune has to endure this for at least 10 minutes. There was a tiny, faint sizzling noise, as the current shock his body and turning his flesh into dark charcoal.
"Power iss at twenty percent." To the doctor it was a light show, she can see him becoming essentialy a living glow stick and won't bat an eye. All for the organization goal, and her owns.
She just couldn’t wait for her creation’s new form, a mad smile unfold on her face as she watch on with anticipation.
"Power at fifty percent"
Though he was trembling hard and could barely pull in enough breath to barely stay conscious, somehow. He simply sat there, panting and hoping that his resolve would hold until it was over.
The pain is something he won't ever expect to experience, but he can't screamed at all. Not because his augmentation numbed his sensory nerve, but his tongue has been turned to ash after the first minute...or was it the seccond mintue ?
"Power at eighty percent." The head doctor anounce before moving over to some monitors to make sure Takune wasn't too close to dying. He'd come dangerously close for a second there, but somehow pull himself back from the edge, which made the mad scientist turn more excited.
"Power at ninety percent "
All he could do was thrash and flail helplessly against the ongoing flow of shock that continue to destroy his cell.
Just as the monitors of the room warned with blaring sound and a red light of his condition close to decease, did something happened.
His once burnt body began to heal, it was slow. Agonizingly so.
But that is all it take for the current to no longer hurt, instead it felt like his body is getting revitalize. The nano machine activating their full potential, bringing him to his state.
The belt lying dormant until now is surging with power, given a new design. It's twin fan, one fan in front spinning clockwise and one in the back spin counterclockwise. Absorbing all the energy around them, both the wind and electricity curve themself around his body.
"One... one hundred percent !" She struggle to talk, a storm formed in that room.
With the wind twisting like a tornado and the electricity expeling out like a storm. At this pace, the whole room is at the brink of being completely demolished.
*crash*
A blinding light flashed to everyone gaze, followed by a big explosion. Destroying the room where Takune is at. The doctor, the director and everyone else throught this experiment has been a failure. But to their shock and suprise, from the smoke of the explosion is a shadow of someone standing in the the molten crater of what once was the laboratory, glowing red eyes shot through the vail of smoke.
This is the new augmented battle cyborg of S.H.O.C.K.E.R
