36. Sword

Yeah, it looks like Ashley did indeed catch a cold. She felt bad since the morning, but she said nothing. And during the fight, she get warm and after she got worse. Now she has a temperature of 38 ° C, also has a cough and a runny nose.

Grandpa decided to prepare a Chinese folk medicine. It's scary smelly, but it really works.

I have never been sick because of my special body, but I saw Grandpa taking this medicine himself and he was fine the very next day.

Grandpa and Gwen went to Chinatown again to buy a special root for the medicine. I stayed behind to follow Ashley.

I put her on the bed and covered her with a blanket. After a couple of minutes, she was already asleep.

Half an hour later, Grandpa and Gwen returned. Max prepared his medicine and forcefully gave Ashley a drink.

For the rest of the day, we took turns taking care of Ashley. By evening she felt better and was able to eat. Then she fell asleep.

The next day, Ashley was already completely recovered and we were able to hit the road.

We again decided to stop near the forest so that the girls could continue their training. I, again, decided to go to the laboratory.

Transformed into the Two-Tails, I teleported to my Cave.

I have long wanted to make a weapon for the Four Arms. I realize I won't use it very often, but it's incredibly cool.

Moreover, if, for example, there is an invasion of robots, the Four Arms with weapons will simply be a death machine. Still, can't achieve much only with fists.

The first thing I did when I arrived at the lab, I took the spears of the Knights and took them apart.

I knew how these spears worked thanks to the information Morgana obtained from the Forever Knights, but I wanted to see it in person.

Everything was the same as in the information. A special crystal that did not have a name, so I decided to name it Cyber-Crystal, is inserted into a special groove.

With it, you can attack from a distance, but also accept attacks from close.

Not a bad idea, but I have a better one. Having finished disassembling the spear, I sat down at the computer and began designing a weapon for my Tetramand.

Of course I want to create a sword. It will be more than two meters. The shape will not be standard, but the cutting edge will be on both sides. The handle will also be elongated so that it can be held with both hands. Still, Four Arms hands are not small.

The sword will consist of an alloy of three space metals. The first of the metals is Alamantium. A rare, incredibly durable metal commonly used to enhance the defense of spaceships in weak spots. Alamantium will give the sword strength and durability.

The second metal, Lamontius, is an especially light, but strong metal, from which the skeletons of spaceships are made. Lamontius will reduce the weight of the sword and give it good balance. Plus, the guard and handle will be made from this metal.

The last metal of Zontium, will go to the edge. He will give the sword an incredible sharpness. Also, thanks to this metal, the sword will not need to be sharpened.

But the most important thing will be hidden in the guard. I will add a cyber-crystal there. My sword will not be a light saber, but thanks to the crystal, a laser edge will appear around the entire blade.

This will increase the sword's penetrating power and will easily cut through the toughest materials.

Also, I decided to add one more mechanism. On the pommel, I will install a special device that will return the sword to the bracelet, which I will wear in the form of the Four Arms.

When I finished designing, I went to get all the materials I needed. Fortunately, the warehouse had everything we needed.

Having found everything, I turned into the Heatblast and with the help of his flame began to melt all three metals.

First, I destroyed all the impurities, and then, using telekinesis, I began to mix the metal's.

Having completed this stage, I gave the liquid molten metal the shape of my future sword and, finally, squeezed the metal itself using telekinesis. Half an hour later, I brought the sword to perfection.

Then, it's time to temper. I did not use oil or water, but a special space slurry that is used in the galaxy. An expensive piece, but I was lucky and there was a whole canister in the warehouse.

When I finished hardening the sword, I left it to cool. It's time to make the guard.

I made guard with my equipment. It wasn't hard. In the guard itself, I immediately added all the necessary components to create a laser edge. I also added cyber-crystal.

When the guard was ready, I made a device for returning the sword to the owner, which I attached to the pommel.

In order to have something to summon a sword, I also created a bracelet. It will be stored in my space ring, along with the sword. And when I need it, I'll take it out and put it on my arm.

By the way, yes, I can summon an alien-shaped ring. The ring changes its shape and usually appears on one of the fingers. If there are no fingers, then the ring becomes a bracelet.

Now that everything is ready, it's time to collect the sword.

Taking the blade itself, despite the addition of special metal to reduce weight, weighed as 350 kg, I attached a guard and a pommel.

Then I wrapped the handle with leather to make it more comfortable to hold. I had to run to the market for leather.

My sword for Tetramand was ready. It weighed 360 kilograms and was 220 centimeters long. For a human it is just a huge sword, but for a four-armed one, just in size.

After sending the sword and bracelet to my inventory, I headed to the training ground.

Once there, I turned into Four Arms and summoned my ring, took out my new sword and bracelet.

I put the bracelet on the upper first hand, after which I began to train with the sword.

Thanks to its four-handedness, the sword just fluttered in my hands and became a deadly weapon.

After finishing my warm-up, I activated the lightsaber mode. After pressing the guard, a blue laser edge appeared around the blade. Now he could cut almost anything.

After turning off the laser sword mode, I decided to test the work of the bracelet. I threw the sword away and activated the bracelet.

The bracelet lit up, and the sword froze in the air, and then flew towards me. Turning off the bracelet, I caught the sword and continued my training.

It took me several hours to get used to the sword.

I can say two things about the sword. It's incredibly cool and comfortable. I am completely satisfied.

Having finished with everything, I returned the sword and bracelet back and turned into the Two-Tails, teleported to the RV.

The girls have just returned. Today they have only slightly improved their skills. We ate and then just rested.

June 26-29, 2010.

The next three days were spent preparing for the coming of Vilgax.

I knew that he would arrive soon, so I spent all my free time at the training ground.

I was finally able to do a full workout with the Icepick. Although I did not learn anything new, except for the temperature of its ice, which turned out to be equal to absolute zero. But at least I'm used to this alien.

Also, due to the serum, I am still not very used to increasing the physical strength of some aliens.

Therefore, I got used to the increase in strength. The problems were mainly with the Rath and Grey Matter.

The serum made the Rath go crazy with his improved senses. When I turned into him, I got a sensory shock.

The Wildmutt had the same problem, but due to his more highly specialized senses, it was easier with him.

The Grey Matter was the biggest problem. When a great strength suddenly appeared in such a small body, it was very difficult to get used to it. I spent the whole day on it.

With the rest of the aliens, everything was better, but I still barely made it. And I'm not sure about Kraab, I think I'm not yet fully used to him.

On the other hand, such training was beneficial, because I met all the aliens, whom I practically did not devote time to before.

Also, I climbed into the Omnitrix one more time. Didn't do anything significant, only reduced the transformation time to 1 second. This is all that I could do with the watch in the time available to me.

Of course, I did not forget to devote time to magic and was able to improve my control over it a little. Now my constructions are much stronger. Plus, I was able to learn a couple of new tricks. For example, tentacles. They can sometimes come in handy.

This is all I have done.

I have done everything I can to prepare for Vilgax's arrival. So on the last day I decided to relax a little and asked Ashley out on a date.

We had a really good time and kissed a lot. But as always, everything could not go without the robbers.

This time there were hijackers who stole a collector's car and took a hostage.

Ashley and I were just walking along the road and the hijackers drove along it, and the police were driving behind them.

A bit annoyed at being interrupted, I decided to end them quickly.

First, I scanned the car, using echolocation, for the location of the thieves and the hostage.

Then, having turned into Jetray, I flew after the collector's car. Once above her, I turned into Four Arms and drew my sword.

In the end, I cut the car exactly in half. The collection vehicle was rear-wheel drive, so it stopped immediately.

Taking out the hostage, I carefully set him aside. After that, I rudely took out the robbers and knocked them out in my favorite way, with a blow to the head, and threw them on the asphalt.

When I was done, I turned into XLR8 and went back to Ashley. I think I was caught on camera from a helicopter. It's not good, but I had no choice.

After returning to Ashley, we walked a little more, and then got back on the bus and immediately went to bed.

Tomorrow will be a long day. Our next destination is Mount Rushmore.
