Chapter 5

then at one time, he was being called by yukiko. this was when the new company was still under construction.

"hello rod san."

"hello yukiko san. what can i do for you?"

Rod was in his room reviewing the researches being done in his research facility when yukiko called.

"can i come there? i got something to discuss with you."

"sure. when will you come? "

"im actually right below your house."

she was right at their doorstep in her summer dress carrying a single suitcase. he then gone down and opened the door for her.

"what do i owe the pleasure of you in my house?" rod said teasingly

She smiled and giggled for a bit "i read your novel and it was enlightening. though icant help to think of the memories of past souls that was given to you back then and i did a little research of my own. since one of the souls was abe no seimei, i thought about the other souls as maybe famous figures in history. "

"and what did you find then?"

"nothing else. though i heard that there is a place that tells which soul you have."

"oh yeah i remember one time when i was watching the science channel of a place which tells the souls. its maybe in cambodiai think."

"yeah, lets go there."

"maybe not. since tickets cost a lot."

"are you sure? this is a lead that you dont want to miss right?"

"yes but..i may have an idea but its a long shot.."

"whats that?"

"wait a minute." he then calls sheryl

Sheryl who was about to sleep was awoken by the ring of her phone.

"hello. its 10 pm and i really have something to do tomorrow. and im sleepy.

"hello sheryl. its me."

"rod? how can i help you now?" she then stood up from her bed and fixed her hair

"can you buy me 3 tickets to Cambodia? since i got something to search in there."

"sure, but im coming along too so make that 4 tickets."

"why you coming too?"

"cause i would like an adventure since im bored here." (and i would like to go with you cause i want to get to know you more) as she thought

"alright then please send me the tickets through email where i can print them."

"sure."

tickets were then procured and they took off to cambodia where they all met at the airport.

"hi sheryl! " rod said who were in jeans and t shirt as if like going to a vacation. June was also wearing the same as rod.

"hi rod and june! who is this woman?"

"this is yukiko, a spirit medium from japan."

"hello sheryl san. its nice to meet you." yukiko

"hmm.. smells fishy.." she then stares at yukiko

"you tell me about it. its really getting hot here." june

"c-come now, lets all go to the place to find what im searching for."

"what would that be? " sheryl

"the memories of past souls inside me."

"really? you can do that?" sheryl

"not sure, but i can try." rod

"alright then, lets go!" sheryl

After they arrived, they checked in a hotel for the night. Then in the morning, they go to the place as indicated in google maps and google. they even asked for directions along the way and finally arrived at the place. in there, he then asked the monks on how to see on the memories of souls inside him and taught him the way of the soul search.

that souls of famous people would also leave a fragment of their souls to people who are worthy but they are not sure if its possible to see through their memories. so they suggest for him to meditate and ask the souls by himself as this have not yet been done or there was a person who has seen the memories of souls.

by the time he meditated with incense, he then saw the faces much more clearly of those people and their identities so he writes them down on a piece of paper.. he also remembered of all the contacts that he got from carla that no one was able to figure out any of the memories, which got him a bit frustrated.

in that trance, he also see places. places all over the world that are haunted and that keeps the balance of the spiritual realm. places where you are to visit but is most likely in legend to never come back which are regularly being disturbed.

where each of those places also represents a sin for each country. he then lists them down as well.

Sheryl and yukikowere both waiting outside the room for him where he meditated intensely.

One of the monks were carrying rod out of the room after a few minutes that he didnt write anything in the piece of paper. "who are this persons company?"the monk asked

Sheryl and yukiko then noticed rod while they were chatting with june. "whoa! What happened?!"theyvasked together

"maybe mental exhaustion... Ever since he has entered our meditaion room, he has been in a trance unlike what we have seen before.. " the monk then laid him on a wooden floor where his head was on yukikos lap.

"he was also swaying and sweating while in that trance. What on earth was he experiencing anyway?"the monk was then accompanied by other monks

After a while, when it was now noon, rod woke up.

"whoa.. when did i pass out.." rod said as he tries to get up

"come here rod. You might need some more rest." yukiko then pulls rod into her lap once more and gently pats his head.

As rod was still feeling a bit dizzy as he stood, he accepted her offer and relaxed himself once more. Then sheryl came with some bread and water for him to eat. For a while, he was then told to not do any meditations for a while by the monks for some the reason that they feel is right and understood.

When they were finished and rod was able to stand once more, they then go to the airport, except the tickets leads back to the philippines.

"sheryl, why is the return trip back to my place?" rod asked sheryl when they were on the airport.

"because im staying over as well. "

"bro, this has become complicated for you." face palm and a smile from june

"i know june. " he said as he scratches his head

"what if something like earlier might happen? Right?" sheryl

"yes yes.. We know so lets go.." june said as she goes ahead of them

they then rode the plane back and reached his house where he spotted a family just waiting outside the house.

"what would you need from this house?" june

"there is a rumor saying that you can get help with the impossible if you go to this town or city. and i want help for the impossible."

"what are you saying?" sheryl

"tell us instead your story. though who really spreads these rumors around?" rod said scratching his head again

"idont know. but i will tell our story. we are the malazar family. i am grut and this is my wife feliz and my daughter jane. we have a problem where our grandpa, a local shaman, has gone to the forest at the foot of mount mayon where he claims evil spirits lurk. Since one time, he sensed that the spirits are restless so he has gone to the forest to purify the spirits but he never came back."

"im sorry to say that though is there anything that we can help with you instead?" rod said trying to dodge the task

"yes. would you happen to know the author of this book?" and again with his book

"yes, thats me. how did you find that book?"

"my wife read it saying it might be interesting. though there was a secret in my family that has been passed through generations that my family bloodline has a start from the time of lapulapu where he had many sons. but the line is blurry from there on. but then i saw this book with one of the memories coinciding with our secret."

"to think that we would meet one of the childrens children in here. we should help him rod." yukiko

"oh. another journey. im so excited." sherylsaid with excitement

"up for another ghostbustinjune?" rod

"if its easy, then count me in." june

"alright then lets start by tomorrow morning. based on my new knowledge, i might need something from my lab."

"you got a place to stay malazar family?" yukiko

"we rented a room in a motel so were good." feliz

"okay. were also going with you rod. sound like an adventure." sheryl

"yes, it sounds exciting." yukiko

"oh boy." rod

they then rested for the night where both yukiko and sheryl rested on the same guest room. on the next day, the malazar family signed the same contract as with yukino before going to mount mayon by plane and by bus where they then arrived to their destination, a local village town where they also visited the malazar house.

they then prepare for the journey and to go by foot to the forest at mount mayon.

"you got the plan? once we get lost, we should go towards mount mayon and wait for a helicopter to come in or view our surroundings for a way out." rodsaid when a map was laid out on the table

"yeah bro, we got it." june

"just repeating for our other guests."

"yeah, we got it rod. by the way, you are you so close to him yukiko?" sheryl

"thats sister to you, and im just hearing him closely so i can hear." yukiko

"i bet its for another reason. right? right?!" sheryl

"dunno." as she got closer and shoulder to shoulder with rod.

"june, please excuse me." sheryl said as she transferred next to him.

"bro, please just choose one." june

Rod was lost in words as he couldnt comment on the current situation.

"wh-wh-what are you saying all of a sudden june? I--" sheryl

"shes right. were just here for the adventure." yukiko said as she was composed and packing soundly besidr rod

"oh brother." june said as she rolled her eyes

they then began their journey to the forest where mosquitos were always present, plants everywhere, insects and other things. After hours of walking, further into the forest, they saw a small camp where the malazar grandpa might be camping.

they continued their journey onward in suspicion that he is still purifying in some place else. by nightfall, they then made camp.

"do you think we will find the malazar grandpa?" sheryl said as she was swatting mosquitos landing on her shoulders.

"maybe, maybe not. this forest is just big and its like finding a needle in a haystack." june

"we accepted the contract june so we should do this for 3 days if a must." rod

"3 days huh..." sheryl stared at yukiko "ohdont mind me, im just thinking to myself."

after a while, they then put out the camp fire and slept. Sheryl wasnt able to sleep as rod was just on the other tent. she then snuck into the other tent slowly and saw rod without a top and she got inside of the tent, sleeping beside him.

june then woke up without her bedmates and thought about her brother. she then brush her teeth before going to her brothers tent to see all 3 awake and both girls naked.

before june saw them, rod woke up to a heavy feeling on both his arms only to find yukiko on his left side, naked. he then saw sheryl on his right side, naked as well.

he thought what is this? might he be dreaming? he then slowly got up to find that june was coming but both yukiko and sheryl woke up making it worse. he just braced himself for the inevitable as june opened his tent to find both girls naked beside him. later..

"bro, you should just pick either one of them." june said as she was angry at him

"i know. "

both yukiko and sheryl was beside him, in both arms.

good thing it got so hot in the morning that they got sweaty and both the girls left his arms. further in the forest, there was a fog covering the forest floor.

"june." rod said being serious all of a sudden.

"you got it bro." then got the sword out of the case

they then heard voices asking for help. then as they further walked, they then noticed some sort of image distortion ahead of them.

"this might be an entity. everyone, leave this to me." june

"hold up june. let me try something first." then brought out from the case that he was carrying, a giant tongs.

"meet the energy tongs. this might be able to prove my theory on dimensions."

Rod then plunged the tongs into the distortion and pry it open. there he found the grandpa, weakened, and pulled him out before june cut the distortion.

"lets now go back." rod

"yes." june and the girls agreed

up ahead, they still see the distortions where rod and june cuts them. as well as entities trying to posses them the girls was carrying the grandpa.

after some time, they got out of the forest and gone back to the malazars house where they were celebrated with warm hugs and appreciation.

"how can i ever repay you" grut said as they laid the old guy to a bed in their house

"as for the payment, you can pay me about $10000 in installment plus a copy of your grandpas textbook for shaman craft and potions." rod said and the girls agreed

"okay. we will pay you with that as long as it takes. the text books are in my grandpas room in the house. i will lead you there before he wakes up." feliz

"that was a very arduous journey." sheryl

"yes, i agree. we shouldnt often agree to this kind of jobs." yukiko

"really? i had a little bit of fun but its true.... so i will also agree with you on this." june

after the girls helped with the copying of text books, they then made their way back accompanied by grut to the airport. when they got home, they then left their separate ways.

"well then.. I will be going back home rod.." sheryl said as she drank some water in rods house

"hey rod.. Where will i be staying?" yukiko said after she sat on the table

"what?!" june and sheryl was surprised.

"sorry but i only got enough money back then for a one way ticket to the philippines.. Teehee.."yukiko

"and did you ever consider for enough money for a plane back?" june

"because i have been aching at seeing rod here since my time with him back then. Right?" yukiko said as she faces rod

As usual, rod got no words to say in these situations.

"or was it an adventure that you were seeking back then yukiko?" sheryl said being annoyed

"a bit of both actually.. Hehe.. " yukiko said teasingly

"hahh.. Fine.. I will ask mom and dad when they get downstairs for you to stay.."june said while massaging her head

"looks like im staying. and from the text i got from yukino, hes got no problem on his end so i have no problem staying here for a long time." yukiko

"hmm..i will also ask mom and dad to let me stay here. i have already graduated anyways and idont need to go to college" she then phones her dad

"oh boy. june, i might need a separate house from here on out."

"yeah, you already got $10000, 2 beautiful ladies and a company by your side. mom would be so proud of you but still, you should also include me in your adventures." june

"how about your studies?"rod

"dont worry june.. I will take care of rod here.."yukiko

"bro, be glad you have 2 ladies who are loyal to you.. I will also say to them about you having a separate house.." june said while pointing her finger to rod

after some time pleading, sheryl was approved to stay. And rod was then approved by their parents, with the help of june, to have a separate house near the outskirts of the city where he will be accompanied by sheryl and yukiko.

After he got an approval for a new house, rod surveys a house or an empty lot where he could establish a house before he then designs the schematics for the new house. Yukiko and sheryl also saw how excited he was making his own house that they also help him by delivering water to his room. After 2 days, the construction of the house began after some minor improvements on the house.

"how is the construction coming up?" rod said to the head engineer

"its proceeding smoothly sir.."

"good."

Rod watched as the construction of his own house was conducted from start to finish where both yukiko and sheryl even have to deliver his lunch. Then the house was done, a ragular house with a huge bathroom, about 5 rooms and a huge master bedroom, and a pool just at the back of the house.

a few days later, the mayor goes to his office once more in the afternoon.

"is rod here?" the mayor suddenly pops up in rods office

"what can i do for you mr mayor?" rod was with the secretary reviewing papers

"it seems that your new company really have made the city even more prosperous and with more power than ever. you really did good for this city."

"yes, thank you. but what can i do for the lady there in uniform?"

"im lieutenant colonel floresgarcia here to discuss with you of your book."

"good timing, i was wondering how i can get some help. im actually now going environmental and was wondering how i could do it."

"this is not the time to make such statements rod." mayor

"im here to confirm of the rumors being told that you and your team were able to do the impossible." flores getting straight to the chase

"no, we dont. since we got just a regular research facility and a power company, idont think we can do that."

"your mayor has already made me tour your energy company but not with the research facility. why is that?"

"i will give you a tour instead."

"that would be great."

he then gave a tour of the whole facility except the secret stairs.

"all these inventions from students are great. they would make a great addition to the technological advances of this country." flores said as they walk the halls of the facility

"yes, they would and after they are done with their research and machines, i would personally contact a company and propose of their projects in addition to their production line. "

"if the rumors are true, then i would like to ask for a favor direct from our technological research department. "

"what is it?"

"help us with our research on cures for diseases and technological advances."

"and what do i get from all of this?"

"hey rod! i have been looking for you. there are some papers that needs to be signed now from our board of directors." sheryl saidbas she came looking for him all over the place

"not now sheryl." rod said looking all serious

"who is she?" flores

"shes one of our board of directors, sherylmendez from Barcelona."

"glad to meet you miss mendez. "flores

"thank you." sheryl

"anyways, if you will help us, we will reward you handsomely with cash and support for your companies."flores

"what do you think sheryl? should we help with their research and development? the government will reward us and support us."

"its up to you rod, though if it was me, i would also agree. i would like to see what kind of research youare also doing." sheryl

"then its decided. we accept. but if we deem your research inhumane, we will abandone our support."

"i was afraid you might say that. alright then, we will let you see our research."

"can you make it all of you research projects?" sheryl

"tch... fine... then lets get going."

"im rooting for all of you guys. now i can go back to my office. there are a lot of papers in store for me there" mayor

"sure. instead, i will also bring a third person if that would be alright." rod said

sheryl then stomp his feet "i hate it when your a fair guy." and pouted

"oww..so is that a yes?" looking at his feet then at flores

"yes. but everything you would see must be confidential alright?"

"yes maam." both said

with the approval of rods parents, rod, yukiko and sheryl then goes to the government research facility in a secret location. they also rode a helicopter there where they landed in the mountains.

there they saw research done on many diseases, experimental machines including AI, and weapons research. finally, they saw genetic alteration research done on rats.

"these are all the pinnacle of all our research. though the scientists would have a word for the theories that you proposed in your book" flores

"i see. and what are those theories?"

"here is a list of those theories. and by the way, your project green and project trash can really help us with the environmental problems."

"i see..." rod smiled. " and what would be the theories.." rod said as he looked at the list

"oh, these. let me explain to them then. please gather those scientists in one room."

the scientists concerned were then gathered in one room where he first discussed about his theory with the quantum energies and others.

This world is made of multi-dimensions where it constructs every fabric of our reality. From the very structures of our hands to the neurons of our brains, dimensions shape the fabric of our existence. The universe might also have its own dimensions. It also constructs every fabric of space, time, and reality itself.

“this world is made up of more than 3 dimensions. Like our face, its all made up of more than 3 dimensions. do you know how many mega pixels our eyes can see in an object? Those mega pixels also corresponds to how many dimensions there is in the reality that we see. There is also the reality of what we feel which is another dimension all itself.For an evidence of this, see this video of one of our quests where we witnessed a dimensional rift as saved an old man from that rift”

They then saw a video of the dimensional rift and the energy tongs. “I had that specially made for that since its energy that we are also talking about. The dimensional rift is also being managed by the quantum force. And even during our encounter with it in the woods, more dimensional rifts even forms around us as we try to escape. ”

“whats the use of those dimensional tongs you speak?” a scientist asks

“it emits both positive and negative energies which disturbs the flow of quantum energy around the area thus disrupting the dimensional rift."

Rod then examines every scientist for their reactions as they were all eagerly listening to him.

" If there are more questions, ask them one by one or list them down since I will be going fast with my explanations”

The one thing that we cant see but feel is energy. Energy can pass through matter and is one of the building blocks of the universe aside from dark matter. Time itself can also be perceived as a kind of universal energy. Our brains also generate energy where we can think and process thoughts and data to perceive and interact with that data. Quantum energy might also be one of those energies that constructs the universe as processing countless streams of energy to form everything, even deleting data such as the blackhole.

“it is as it stands. I mean, what can you think of when it comes to the quantum? It’s the brain right? The brain processes data that we perceive in our everyday life. So the question is.. what processes the data of the universe? This is the answer that came up. An invisible network of energy that manages the entire universe which you can also call it the universes will.”

The scientists then murmured among themselves while some taking notes and some taking notes of their possible questions.

Only 20% of the human brain is used everyday. Some parts might be able to connect to the quantum energies.

“this is only stating the obvious so I can skip this.”

Giggles on the crowd.

Quantum energy can also be said as the will of the universe. We cant converse or see it through both conventional and artificial ways, but we can only feel it.

“the explanation of this can wait..” rod then made a gesture.

The scientists smiles at his humor

Everything in this world has a specific wavelength(s) where sound can be measured from. Theory also states that at a specific wavelength, it might be possible to talk to the other beings. Also, as the will of the universe, quantum energy doesn’t want to be manipulated or controlled.

“quantum energy might be possible to measure, though what comes next would explain the last few sentences.”

Once a living creature dies, theory states that their quantum energies will return back or become one with all the quantum energy in the universe. That we might be able to connect to the quantum energies like the mayans did through meditation and nirvana. If there might be aliens, then they might also be energy based life forms where we cant see them but feel them as balls of light and such.

“the entities cannot be seen under normal circumstances though through spectral analysis, it may be possible. And if only they will appear before you or want to be seen. Such as this video that we captured.”

He they let them see the video of the fight in the forest of death through the goggles

“what is that now?”

“it’s the energy sword, same principle as with the energy tongs”

“where does the power come from?”

“now that is a company trade secret.”

“why is that?”

“its for the safety of the human race. “

“if its for science, anything must be possible right?”

“even for war it is. Let me give you a piece of wisdom fellows. Knowledge is evil, and wisdom is the filter to knowledge. Since if you know how to use or make things, you wouldn’t think twice about using or doing something to it right? If you have the wisdom to control the knowledge gained, then any tragedy will be prevented.”

The scientists then went quiet along with flores who really wanted to know about the last question. She asks instead? “why not let the military manage this information?”

“all things are possible in love and war miss colonel. So no can do. You can watch us but we wont do anything aside from what is good. I taught my employees well in that facility.”

“one must not have all the power. It will corrupt a person—“

“that’s why I hung on the canteen walls that phrase as a reminder for them to never do, even in their contracts”

“you even let students sign a contract?”

“so that they can also experience being an employee. Is that wrong?”

She went quiet and he then gestures to go on with his explanations

Ghosts can be explained as negative accumulation of quantum energy where a ghost might have the power to move objects. These ghost are also born from dead creatures. They might be communicated through a wavelength detection device where only if they want to communicate. They might also be able to leave some parts of negative or positive energies towards living beings thus a fragment of a soul. Soul fragments are given randomly and are composed from either famous people, animals and plants. Though occurrences for ghosts would be random and only if it is their will.

“as explained earlier, entities can be composed of either ghosts or these energy aliens. And energy can also be classified as either positive or negative. And famous people always give out some sort of vibe right? These energies came from the quantum energies of other people where the quantum force would recognize them as a big part of a specie. So upon death, those people, insects or animals with give off quantum energies that will last for thousands of lifetimes. Though it doesn’t mean they don’t take energy from the living, as the question ‘how will ghosts eat?’ they give off energy to the living and they feed off from them as well. And sometimes, they leave their own energy signatures to the living of their choosing thus the soul fragments. “

By then, the crowd went quiet as there is literally no proof of this and no questions can be asked.

The human x gene might be a factor for evolution where evolution will only take place at a time seen fit by the quantum force and slowly. As humans can only use mostly 20% of their brain capacity, it is relative to the evolutionary thing.

“you can make as many theories with this since this is my personal belief. But I would just like to point out the possibility.”

“what? We were seriously curious about this one.”

“haha. Only genetics can solve the riddle but I wouldn’t even recommend about genetic alterations.”

“why is that?”

“because it disturbs our evolutionary process. You know that humans also evolved from primitive life forms that roamed this earth right?”

The scientists were murmuring to each other as the answers were really just simple. Though some theories still remains to be proven. then after the lecture, he then requested some free time to discuss with the girls about the decision.

"colonel flores. we have made a decision." rod said as he walked towards her as she was still talking with one of the scientists in charge down the hall.

"we will be working with you but there are conditions." sheryl

"what would that be?" flores

"we would not partake in genetic alteration projects and weapons projects." yukiko

"we would be free to come and go as we please." sheryl

"you would protect us and our interests and provide us contacts with the government officials and introduce us if possible.” rod

“you guys are in unison. Very well, we will guarantee those 3 conditions. But you can expect something else if you are to meet with the government officials. What would you like to propose anyways?”

“project green and project trash can.” Yukiko and Sheryl

“oh, those. I have tested those projects and it seems that it still lacking a bit more, but it is already sufficient enough for recycling.” A cute girl then approached

“who is this?” rod

“this is dr. Stacey estella, one of our leading scientists.” Flores

“yes, its true. It just lacks automation –“ bothyukiko and Sheryl pinched him “oww..”

“oh brother. Anyways, I will now return to my post.” flores said

“wait, where is this anyways? We want to return to our lab now.” Rod

“what will you do with the information about this place?”

“the place will be confidential of course. But the research will be helped and made by the students in our research facility.” Rod

“this way, if they want, they can proceed to this place for their new job by the time they graduate. Isn’t that a great deal?” Sheryl

“oh..your going dark yourself..” rod said teasingly

“I learn from the best.” Sheryl

“lets go. I still have some text to read and experiments to conduct with the new text we have from the shaman.” Yukiko

“alright then. Let me accompany you guys there. “ flores

“and as a token of our appreciation, I will volunteer to go with mr rod so to teach those students and to manage their research as well. I always wanted to try being a teacher” Stacey

“great! We were wondering where can we find someone fit for that job. Your welcome aboard Stacey. “ rod said as he was pinched again

“alright then. If that is your decision, please submit your resignation or a letter to the office of the branch head.” Flores

“lets go now.” Yukiko said as Sheryl agrees

After getting a copy of selected researches, they then go backvia helicopter. they then rode a humvee back to the research facility where a man was waiting at his office.

“hi, im Wesley chapman and I would like to talk to rod mason.” the man in an outdoors attire introduced himself as he was waiting for them

“yes, im rod mason, what can I do for you? “ rod said as the rest of them were surprised by the sudden visit of an australian

“im actually one of the contacts that Carla left for you. And by reading your story, it occurred to me that we haven’t yet searched in the Atlantic ocean. So we got an international permit to search the atlantic and found a giant crevice about roughly 300,000 feet under the sea. Our drones took a closer look and found something shining under the crevice but our drones couldn’t move anymore further due to water pressure crushing them.”

“and why would you come to me?” rod

"i read about your book and found it amazing that you have come back from a coma for just 1 year when you were being witch crafted. And i heard that you guys can do the impossible so i thought maybe you can --"wesley

"stop there. I know where this is headed and idont know how to make it to 300,000 feet under the sea. Much less is there a suit that we can hop on to to dive underwater in that depth." rod said interrupting him

"how about a submarine? You might have one right?"

"no we dont." sheryl

"recent submarines could only even reach 20,000 feet, how can you expect to even get there?" flores was also there with them as she accompanied them back to the office

"is there anything that can be used? Any metal or way that can at least go near it? This might even be the lost city of atlantis as stated in your book!" wesley

No one answered."dont worry. we will take note of this and see if there might be a way for you to get to that depth." rod

wesley tried to reason out but he knew better so he couldnt comment anymore. He then turned around with a sad face

"will everything be okay with him? He looks devastated." flores

"dont worry colonel flores. This is a research facility, we might be able to make up something if we can." yukiko

"yes, that is right." rod

"i will now be going then. If you want any else, just call me."

She then departed

At that night in his bed, rod was thinking about what Wesley said and couldn’t sleep yet. To think that his vision was true where an underwater city might be there gave him excitement and was proud of it himself. Then he felt a soft sensation right between his legs and when he saw over, he saw yukiko crawling over him.

“what are you doing?”

“just checking if your alright. What does it look like?”

“you know, if your gonna steal me, your gonna have to do better than that. “

“oh really? Then why is you sword so strong then?”

“it reacts to very beautiful women so I cant help it.”

“such as lame excuse.” She then rubs her breast over and over

Rod enjoyed the sensation until he then got a glimpse of an idea.

“oh no.”

“what is it rod?”

“I think I might go.”

“you really like it huh? You can get some more out of it if you like.”

“I think im going to go.”

“then go. There is nothing stopping you. Now come to me.”

“thank you. “ he then got up and gone to his desk where he pulls a piece of paper and pencil and drew.

“aww man... Oh well... Cant stop him with his curiousity. There is always another night for this.” She then slept in his bed.

the next morning, Sheryl was cooking breakfast as it was her turn. when she finished, she got up to rod’s room to wake him up.

“oh rod, its time to—“ as she opened the door to his room

She then saw rod with yukiko together on the bed with rod topless.

“rod! Wake up! And what are you doing with yukiko!”

She screamed as she threw away the blankets to only see that they were naked. She then blushed real hard at the scene and turned rod over trying to separate him only to see his sword hard. He then woke up to find Sheryl undressing herself.

“what are you doing?”

“the same with what you did to her!”

“her?” he then saw yukiko naked beside him and realized that he has slept without recalling what he did before he slept

“wait Sheryl. This isn’t what you think. I might have slept without thinking what to do since I was up all night.”

“no need for excuses! Im not gonna be outdone by her! Prepare yourself!”

“I might have seen her naked and thoughtlessly got n—“ he was then kissed by her

“no use for excuses." she then pressed herself more against him

She then slowly separates her lips from his.. "this would be my first time so please be gentle with me.”

“ughh..“ he said as he cant take his eyes off of her. Her cuteness, her mild figure, thebwhole situation. “ah! what the heck!”

He didn’t know that yukiko was now wide awake and rod sensed her staring at them when he was about to go for her.

“ho ho.. quite daring for a child.” Yukiko

“im not a child! Why do you dare take him away from me!”

“im not a thief you know. If you want him, you can have him but im still also gonna bump myself to him whether you like it or not flat girl!”

“FYI! Im not flat! Im an D cup! You oversized lump of fat!”

“excuse me. This is a fine piece of artwork for an E cup.”

“girls, please listen—“

“no!” both said as they got on top of him “time for your punishment”

Rod just gulped at whats going to happen next.

After a while, they were on their way to the labs where Stacey was waiting. Rod got there first to do some business in his office.

“took you a while. What ha—oh my.” Stacey said as she spot 2 hickeys on his left and right neck.

“ehem.. on to business..“ rod blushing

“okay. I will be on the labs looking at the researches being conducted by the students.” she Giggles

“hold there. Let me take you on a tour to the labs.” rod

“really? Or are you aiming for me too?”

“hmm..your not bad you know.”

“im just joking. I wont stand in the way of whoever did that to you.”

“are you sure?” smiling as he opened the doors for them

“haha. Lets just get to the labs.” Stacey

they then headed straight to the labs where he introduced her to the leads per group in the building. Each group was composed of engineering team, chemistry team, history team, science team, and software team. She was then acquainted with each team on the building and was briefed of her job.

“easy right? You just have to manage and look over all those teams if they might make a mistake or approve every project they make. And look over—“

“all the tests they make if there would be incidents. Got it.”

“nice. I like smart girls.”

“again with this?”

“haha. Anyways, you still have a long way to go to earn my trust with all those secret projects that I proposed. “

“what?! You proposed them? Even the energy sword and tongs?”

“yes. Once I made..ehem.. the fundamental thing that lights up the fireworks.”

“oh come on. Let me on with the secrets. Please..“

“no. you might also be a spy for the government so I still cant give you all the juicy details.”

“juicy huh. If I make you fall for me, will that solve the problem?”

“nope. What if you have a boyfriend?"

Stacey couldnt comment further as he made a valid point

"Anyways, I finally got an idea for the atlantis project” rod said getting back on topic

“so were calling it that huh.”

“yes and you will also be in it if you want.”

“really?”

“yes. So here is the idea.." rod then handed over the blue prints for another invention. "but we cant go under the sea.”

“what? I was even excited to go underwater. “

“we cant help it. Under that kind of underwater pressure and 300,000 feet deep, we cant help but just stare at the ocean.”

“okay. As you say boss.”

There he showed the plans for the underwater drill drone, also called project gravity apple. He then called Wesley which was on the 3rd flight back to the manila.

they then agreed to build a drone which might be able to withstand such pressures.

--ring— in his office while the others were still busy preparing

“hello flores, can you help me with something?”

“what is it?”

“can I have permission to rent a large cargo ship and a license for weapons?”

“why and what will you use it for?”

“remember the guy saying something about a city underwater? Were gonna help him”

“you got an idea how to get underwater?”

“more or less. Your free to come if you like.”

“that was the next thing I was gonna say. Oh well, count me in. “

“great! We would need all the help we might able to get with this.”

“when are we going?”

“as soon as the drones are finished, that’s when we will go.”

“how big would you need?”

“the biggest that you could get for us. Just maybe for 1 or 2 days.”

“alright then. Anything else?”

“just that. Bye for now.”

They then hang up where he catched up with the making of the drones.

Then on the day of departure, they loaded about 30 drones into the cargo ship.

“hello colonel flores. Had a good day today?” rod was wearing pants with tshirt as he walks towards flores waiting at the docks

“yes. And I would like you to meet the top generals of the army and police. They would like to observe the trip that your gonna make along with measuring whether to trust your company or not.”

“you can certainly trust us. Though the more audience, the better. “

“perfect. “

“just don’t expect more since the success rate for this is about 50% maybe.”

“I see. Now from left to right, general Michael, bruce, franz, Justin, Jaime, and nolly for the army. For the police, here is general rocky, Donald, and roland.”

“pleased to meet you generals”

“I heard that you have some secrets in your shed. As the military, we cant approve of your actions until we deem it good for your company to keep this secret.” Michael

“which is why we are here. To see if you are trustworthy to keep such dangerous weapons a secret to anyone.” Justin said with a suspicious look

“yes generals. We are keeping it a secret from even you guys for the safety of the world. But let me remind you, depending on how you will use it, it will become a weapon.”rod

“so it is a weapon. It would be better boy if you give it to the right officials and—“ roland

“with great power comes great responsibility. And with great power comes with a poison that corrodes even the most loyal of servants.” Rod said seriously

“in short, this is pandora’s box that your holding right?” franz

“what guarantee that you wont use it against our country or any other country?” bruce

“you already got Stacey for the job right?” rod said with a gesture

“what really is this pandoras box boy? Cough it for your own good.” Jaime

“no. though you will see one of its uses later on the journey.”rod

“we can still get your license and destroy your research facility if—“ Donald

“you know, there is already a rumor going around that our company does the impossible. It would not be impossible to just give or sell the designs to the right—“

“what?! You threatening us boy?!"Michael said as he tries to choke rod by the collar

“that was a lie. Anyways, I will divulge with you the secret once we also deem you worthy of such a secret. Though I admit we don’t have any means of security for the designs of this thing.”

“there, you really admit your weakness—“ Jaime

“doesn’t mean that we are weak. my employees are fully informed as to what to do when that comes. But still, they are weak and still needs training. Anyways, we will say or show you the secret once we also deem you worthy of the pandoras box.”

“so were calling it that huh.” Sheryl

“nope. That’s just temporary.” rod as he faces sheryl

“true, its really a pandoras box as it stands. The probabilities of both good and bad are all equal.” Yukiko said as rod was slowly released by the general

The generals then murmured among themselves and agreed to go along with their game.

“well then ladies and gentlemen, lets roll.” rod said with a smile.

They then go aboard the ship as it was ready to set sail. Then on the dark corners of the cargo bayat noon, a mysterious figure then snuck up to the 3 cargos on board only to find it under finger print recognition lock.
