373 The Stealth Drone

"That was too easy," Max said after removing the VR headset from his face.

Luis didn't say anything as he removed his own headset to see that Max had a very bright smile on his face.

"Well, that wasn't as long as I expected."

The two quickly turned their attention to the side to see Nicole standing there with her hands crossed.

"How long did we take?" Max said.

"About fifteen minutes," Nicole said.

"Oh, that wasn't as long as I expected it to be," Max said, turning his gaze back to him. "So what's your room number?"

"You want to know my room number?" Luis said.

"Yeah, so I can know where to find you, I promised Sony he would meet you too," Max said.

"Okay, it's seventy-two," Luis said.

"Thanks, man," Max said slowly getting up from the couch. "So when I can meet your martial arts teacher, the one that created the game?"

"Umm….he's not here yet, I'm not even sure he's going to come," Luis said.

"I hope he does, I can't wait for him to do what he did to your headset to my headset," Max said.

"Okay," Luis said.

"See you later, man, it was nice meeting you," Max said before leaving through the door.

"Well, let's just hope it doesn't come to that," Nicole said.

"Yeah," Luis said, getting up from the couch.

"You know you're a very careless person," Nicole said.

"Huh?"

"We were talking about ways to catch someone who is trying to kill you and what did you do? Ran off without telling anybody and then got attacked by those deadly twins." Nicole said with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

"They weren't that deadly," Luis said.

"Oh, they were deadly because things would have turned out differently for you if it weren't for that golden fortification," Nova said as she walked out of her room.

"What's golden fortification?" Nicole asked.

"It's an aura that increases our ability in quite an incredible way, he absorbed the aura by mistake," Nova explained.

"But that's a good thing," Nicole said.

"Not exactly, the aura does have serious consequences once it is completely out of your body," Nova said.

"Consequences like what?" Nicole asked.

"The reverse of what the aura does," Nova said.

"Oh, that doesn't sound like a good thing."

"It's not," Nova said.

"See Luis, I know you have this crazy upgrade now and can probably handle yourself but you should know that if you get into any fight again, you are going to be isolated," Nicole said.

"Isolated?" The young Angel said with a confused expression on his face.

"The Lieutenant said she was going to make sure of it," Nicole said.

"I don't think he'll be getting into any other fight," Nova said.

"Yeah after I fill him in on the plan," Nicole said.

"You don't need to do that," Nova said, moving toward one of the couches.

"Huh?"

"Catching this person has always been easy for him, he just found it hard to figure it out," Nova said after sitting down on the couch.

"Do you mind explaining, I'm a bit confused?" Nicole requested.

"One word."

"What?"

"Aura vision."

"So first you want me to rebuild this drone which you will use for exploring this new world in the meantime," Michael said, looking at the drone on her desk.

"Yeah," Layla said with a nod.

"Okay," Michael said as he walked to the desk, and picked up some of the drone's broken parts before turning his gaze back to Layla. "Do you have any place where I can work, a place with equipment?"

"Yeah, we have somewhere like that here," Layla said, turning to face the door. "Follow me."

Michael followed her to a room that was dark at first until she turned on the lights to reveal a medium-sized room with every tool he was going to be using to put together the drone and even some electronic components that were going to be useful to him.

"Waooh," Michael said, looking around the area in amazement.

There was even a working table for him in the middle.

"When you said you had a place like this here, I didn't expect it to be this well equipped," Michael said walking to the long counter by the side which had spanners, pliers, and other tools hanging on it.

"Well, I made sure it was well equipped just in case one day the commander allows us to hire a technological scientist to be working with us here," Layla said.

"There isn't any technological scientist who wouldn't love working here," Michael said with a look of amazement still visible on his face.

"Does that mean you are going to take the job when the time comes?" Layla asked with an excited tone.

"I would love to work here, but…I don't think I have enough space in my life for any more jobs." Michael said immediately bursting her bubble.

"Oh, what if enough space somehow pops up?" She asked.

"I don't think that's going to happen even in a period of ten years but we'll have to wait and see," Michael said, picking up one of the electrical drills sitting on the counter.

"Okay, I'll tell one of the sergeants to bring the drone to you so that you can get to work," Nova said, turning to face the exit. "There's a communication device on the wall, use it to inform us when you're done and we'll be here as fast as possible."

"Okay," Michael said as she left the room.

It didn't take long before the drone had been brought into the room and he had immediately gotten to work, picking up all the tools and equipment he was going to need.

It took him up to thirty minutes before he was done as he inserted a chip into the drone before covering it up with a white cloth.

It would have taken longer if he was building a new drone but rebuilding this one was no big deal.

He quickly got up from where he was sitting and walked to the small square communication device on the wall and pushed the blue button on it.

"Hello, Lieutenants, I'm done." He spoke into the device.

He turned to face the door expecting to see them anytime soon and just like he thought, it didn't take long before the door opened for both Layla and Bryan to enter the room.

"That was fast," Layla said with a surprised expression on her face.

"Where's the drone?" Bryan asked.

"Right here," Michael said as he walked to the white cloth and pulled it off to reveal the drone.

Layla expected to see a drone just like the one that had gotten broken with a few modifications but that wasn't what she was seeing now as Michael had turned the drone into another thing.

The drone this time was smaller compared to the former one, its body was more streamlined and instead of two large fans, it had six small fans around all sides and the fan blades were covered in a nice way to prevent them from getting easily damaged.

The color of the drone was what Layla liked most about it, she liked that Michael kept the original yellow design and then finished it off with a little touch of black on its lower sides to make it stand out more.

"Wow Michael, it looks nice," Layla said, looking at the drone in amazement.

"I know right but you haven't seen anything yet," Michael said as he picked up the remote from the table and turned the drone on.

He controlled the drone with the remote as it was hovering above the table now.

"What are we waiting to see?" Bryan asked, looking at the hovering drone.

"For a drone that's going to be used to monitor another world, it doesn't need to be seen," Michael said.

"What are you talking about?" Layla asked.

"This," Michael said as he clicked a button on the remote, and immediately the drone had turned invisible.

"Waooh!" Layla said with a shocked expression on her face.

She knew the drone was still there because she could still hear the little buzzing sound coming from the blades.

"Wow," Bryan said with a surprised expression on his face.

"I call it the STEALTH DRONE," Michael said with an enthusiastic voice.
