Chapter 44: Rockwell Rising

Rockwell stood next to the terminal. He scratched his head. ‘I’ve never seen anything like this since.... Anyway. This Tek is different... I wonder...’ Rockwell thought. He accessed the terminal and clicked items. He then clicked on a syringe full of purple liquid, a glass bottle full of red liquid, a bowl full of of assorted vegetables, and a bowl full to the brim of mindwipe tonic. As soon as the items spawned in. Rockwell grabbed them and mushed them with a mortar and pestle. Once they became a liquid state. Rockwell looked at it. ‘Seems harmless, other then the fact that it looks like puréed cow droppings. Could be poisonous. I’ll take those chances.’ Rockwell drank the entire bowl. Rockwell felt a powerful feeling in his stomach. He then vomited. ‘Test #1 for perfected element, failure. Mixing Liquid Element with Healing brew, mindwipe tonic, and Fria Curry, creates actual cow dropping.’ Rockwell thought. The next result was the same, except instead of cow droppings it tasted like moldy Brussel sprouts. He tried fourteen different combinations. Finally he found one that he was sure would work. A mixture of Liquid element, Mutagel, nameless venom, Element ore, and a Crystal talon. Rockwell crushed them in the mortar and pestle. Then to top it off he added salt water. It was now a reddish color. Rockwell injected it into his amputated arm. His arm glowed red for a second then turned purple as the element worked its way into him. Rockwell grimaced. Dejà vu. The cloth on his amputated arm ripped as his arm regrew. He screamed in agony. His skin started bubbling as if it was being boiled. Then as fast as all the pain had come, it vanished. He sighed in relief. His skin returned to normal. He heard a loud bang as Ember huddled into the room. “I hope my escape will go unnoticed...” ember mumbled. He then stopped and gaped when he saw Rockwell. A weird glow was settled around Rockwell, like an Alpha raptor, but it was purple. Rockwell’s eyes were blank white. Ember stepped back and chuckled nervously. Rockwell smiled and ran right past Ember, out the door. To the battle field....
