Shattering Humanity-Chapter 430: Black Buzz Battery

He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land—your grain, new wine and olive oil—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.

You will be blessed more than any other people; none of your men or women will be childless, nor will any of your livestock be without young.

The Lord will keep you free from every disease. He will not inflict on you the horrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but he will inflict them on all who hate you.

You must destroy all the peoples the Lord your God gives over to you. Do not look on them with pity and do not serve their gods, for that will be a snare to you."- Deuteronomy 7:13-16

________________

SeiõrSnow continues to fall as the small group of Aiden, Saku, Laban, Friend, and Xaaydagaay exits the double doors of their new armory.

Running into his small "workshop", Aiden trying to keep the surprise, ducks under the half open vinyl overhead door and closes it. While leaving Saku and the blunt smoking Laban DaeMon to wait for the excited genius the clanking and banging of a messy work area can be heard from the closed off outside.

Xaaydagaay, with her full moon eyes watches a group of small sparrows fly through the sky.

The water mammal admires the "air swimming" creatures and then looks down at the ground she is bound to by gravity.

Laban blows out her smoke and holds out the smoking apparatus for Saki to take. He does, making Laban blush as she focuses on his lips connecting exactly where her lips just were.

After a single inhale he carefully gives it back and Laban’s shaking hand takes it.

The Yin Vessel exhales and turns to the northwest towards the beach where the Vinland soldiers are invading.

Laban notices and activates her Eyelien to it’s 2nd Stage. The smoke from her blunt blends perfectly with the smokey aura from her optical symbiote.

Using the acquired Nye-omnipotency, the DaeMon watches something making her expression change from slightly intrigued to quickly being concerned.

Laban DaeMon(whispers): "What the f-."

Before she can fully process what her ability is showing her, the overhead door to Aiden’s work area opens making Laban deactivate her symbiote and Saku turn to look.

Aiden: "Using the nearly indestructible casing of a military grade black box, I have created what I hope to be the ’genesis’ towards my understanding of existence with Seiõr..."

The young man has what looks like a metal backpack strapped over his shoulders. Not only that, two long, clear tubes protrude from the bottom of the device and run into the palm of a baseball glove on the inventor’s left hand.

Also, cut out of the inner grip to just the pointer finger and thumb are two small light blue sensors. In a sort of pre-test, Aiden increases and decreases the space between the two finger sensors. Each time and without touching them together making the small LEDs glow brighter the closer they got.

Aiden: "...And also be the technological breakthrough that helps create a mutual acknowledgement between the logically stubborn such as myself and our universe’s clearly existent but unobservable phenomenon."

Proud of himself, the most intelligent of Takamagahara clenches his fist in front of his face, trying to strike a cool pose.

Unfortunately for him, neither Saku nor Laban understand what is so special about the intellectual’s new invention. Both of the two confused and less intelligent, symbiote eye users raise an eyebrow towards the pridefully posing polymath.

A cold, awkward wind whistles though the silence and Friend sneezes...twice.

Realizing he is not in the presence of his highly supportive friends from the academy, Aiden blushes and returns back to his quiet, humbled self.

Laban DaeMon: "Well?

Spit it out, kid. We ain’t got all day."

Looking at Saku, Aiden remembers their discussion about Laban’s inventive, but now side switched friend, Buzz.

He then recalls the emotional support received from Shelly and Katsu before they left to defend Sanpaku.

Once again the genius takes a calming breath and proceeds to academically lecture the innumerate pair.

Aiden: "Okay, so in most cell battery you need a positive end or cathode, as well as a negative end referred to as the anode.

You also need an electrolyte between the two in order to turn chemical energy into electrical. Even though these types of batteries have been a scientific breakthrough, like all easily acquired power, there’s a catch.

Usually, that chemical energy comes from hazardous materials and they are harmful to the environment."

Saku: "You’re losing us, Nerd.

We don’t care about the scientific background shit. Just get to the point, there is still a fight happening Laban and I need to get to."

Showing for the first time a slightly agitated expression, Aiden quickly cools down and smiles before restarting.

Aiden: "What I’ve done is create a special battery out of the hollowed out black box from the helicopter that crashed.

Knowing what I do about the scientific explanations behind the SeiõrSuppliments Mrs. Zoram prepared, this brainchild was not created to just understand "dark or invisible energy", but to create a mutual acknowledgement between humanity and Seiõr through its quick, visible healing!"

Both Laban and Saku are amazed, mouths open in awe by the enthusiastic theory being projected by one of Katsu and Shelly’s most influenced friends.

Laban DaeMon(to herself): "Wait ...

That’s just like..."

The unacknowledged tester holds up the thin glove and lightly taps the two sensors together. There is a pause for a moment then suddenly, from the tubes connected at the bottom of the back strapped device, a small measured amount of clear liquid rushes through the plastic to the thin layer of medical gauze in the palm of the sports glove.

Aiden: "It is still a work in progress.

I realize how hard it is for Mrs. Zoram to continue charging Lima beans and cashews. I was hoping we could find a seperate way to charge my ’Black Battery’ so she wouldn’t have to work so hard."

Saku: "So what is that thing filled with?"

Aiden turns around to show the makeshift Seiõr generator.

Aiden: "Tap water and salt!

I figured if it were the proteins in solid sources of SeiõrSuppliments that helped store the black energy, then maybe carbohydrates could probably act as the substitute in liquid."

Laban DaeMon: "That won’t work..."

Now it is both Saku and Aiden being shocked by Laban’s input.

They turn and see Laban remembering something.

Saku: "Huh?"

The black haired DaeMon looks at Aiden and relights her blunt while repeating herself.

Laban DaeMon: "Seiõr ain’t electricity.

It’s not as compatible with the molecules of salt carbohydrates as it is with cane sugars. Not to mention you can increase the total battery life if you replaced that water from the metal pipes with carbonated sparkling water."

Saku, being able to read her body language, pieces together exactly how this female delinquent DaeMon knows this incredibly specific scientific information.

Aiden however can’t believe what he is hearing and in complete disregard to her personal space, the inventor gets up close to her.

Aiden: "What?!

How would you know that?!"

Laban backs away in disgust but quickly regains her thoughts.

In a slightly depressed manner, she puffs out the smoke with her eyes closed.

Laban DaeMon: "Sorry to break it to ya kid, but you’re not the first ’wizard’ in the world to create a ’Buzz Battery’."

...

[MamMon’s Apartments]

Buzz: "But what’s your purpose?"

Both Nomad and Poppa looks shocked by the single, serious, and deep question.

As if never really thinking about it herself, Poppa immediately gets tears in both her heterospecies ocular sensors with her confident answer.

Poppa: "M-My purpose...

Even though I feel like I never had a choice, I think my purpose has always been to be such a pitiful mess, I become a burden for others to look after."

Nomad gives the self depreciating young lady a look of sincere pity.

Nomad(thinking): *Poor girl.

She may actually have a few mental demons if she’s got such low self confidence already.*

With shadows over her eyes, Buzz gets up and walks away towards the bathroom without a single word.

She opens the door and surprising the all three woman in the room MaMmon DæMon is already standing behind the door.

Making the gloom in the apartment change to a feeling of comedic relief as Buzz falls back on her ass.

Buzz: "What the f-!"

MaMmon DæMon: "Good morning, Ladies.

I hope you are all rested."

The DæMon twin holds out her golden nail painted hand for the fallen inventor and Buzz gingerly takes the help up.

The DæMon then moves her blue eyes to the newest symbiote user across the room. Blushing Poppa sheepishly looks away from her savior.

MaMmon DæMon: "And how are you feeling, lost kitten?"

Poppa glows even more pink being referred to as such a patronizing name.

She finally gains the courage to talk, but barely enough to look directly at the blonde.

Poppa: "Wh-Why did you do this to me?

Who are you?"

The woman who destroyed New Dodge and gifted the abused indentured servant a left eye symbiote chuckles.

MaMmon DæMon: "Excuse me for my rudeness.

My name is MaMmon DæMon and what ever do you mean?"

The acknowledged Scandinavian witch activates her gold on gold SanguineSoulSeiõrShield, brightening the room to the two symbiote users, but Nomad is still left out of the loop.

MaMmon DæMon: "I am the savior for the mistreated and a provider of sanguinity." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

She looks at Buzz and the stunned, smaller woman is no longer upset but fascinated.

MaMmon DæMon: "Are you ready to get to work, ’Æther traveler’?"

Buzz realizes what her new leader is talking about and the over hyperactive attitude returns.

Buzz: "Fuck ya!"
