7 To Weave (2/2)
”Yes. Amber accepted.”
As mentioned, Tedi was not oblivious to what occured during the duration of her flight. Xero had informed Intel that Amber had agreed to join Vanguard, and Tedi had access to Intel's Intel. Quite convenient.
”Hm okay okay” Ryan replied. He then stretched out left arm. Wrapped around his hand was a harness made up of thin white threads which, upon closer inspection, were made up of even smaller fibres. These threads were connected a ring on each finger, and at the centre of the harness was a white Ultra-Rare sOr [Cotton], which in that moment attached to each of Tedi's arms four strings, and and he gently tugged her along, making their way inside an enormous building in front of the landing zone.
As they reached the main lab (covered by uniformly placed holes in the wall), Ryan led Tedi to her designated platform and attached the strings on her arms to weighted hooks on each side, stretching the bear out. He repeated the process as he attached four more strings to each of her legs and hooked them to seperate weighted hooks. Tedi now was in a star position.
”Power Down” he commanded, and the bear did just that.
He then formed 10 more strings which wove together to form a wire, which then connected to the Super ProcessOr on his desk. The Super ProcessOr powered up, and thousands of new strings sprung forth from the holes dotted around the room. Each of these strings were also a string collective that wrapped tightly together, boosting strength and controllability.
The strings, under Ryan's control, seperated Tedi's head, torso and limbs, and further (brown) strings wrapped round each part, adding size and durability to the bearino. Simultaneously, some strings formed wires to connect to Tedi and updated her data network and AI capabilities.
After about 5 minutes of this surgical procedure, Tedi was upgraded. Larger, smarter, fluffier.
”Power On” he commanded again. ”Status Report.”
”Physical and Data have updated successfully. I am also now fit for a 5 person mount.”
”Yay!” he exlaimed gleefully, as he hopped onto her now larger back. He looked around, imagining his future teammates besides him. Though a fully grown man, he imagined this with a child-like personality. He anticipated being surrounded by not only powerful people, but potentially more friends he could cherish. As he fell asleep atop Tedi, time in Zephyria seemingly (and conveniently) fastforwarded and escaped it's perpetual evening state (finally lol).
Ryan was not a 7-Star Knight, but he was an exception and in more ways than seemed. Though he was often this happy and goofball character, he possessed the most brilliant mind in Zephyria. The lab he presided in was the cornerstone (or rather, a sperated stone) to Zephyria's advancement, and his sOr had been revolutionary in advancing sOr technology.
He was the final member of Vanguard.
