Chapter 117 - Landfall (1/2)
Thus began their journey back after collecting themselves from another day of mischief.
The following days Nina and everyone grew closer together, though she still had reservations about Anna who was the daughter of the one who cursed her.
Theoric was just happy that no one was fighting, mostly due to the efforts of Sigyn, since no one wished to make her upset, she was the pillar of the group while Theoric was the backbone.
Io was the one who argued forcing others to think more about their actions.
Anna was the brains knowing most about the era they were in, though Theoric also knew a good deal with the few Acanti's memories he did receive, it still paled in comparison to Anna's god-given gift which gave her much of the current knowledge of the world.
Holland took to being the cute little bossy sister who could be quite loud at times when things didn't go her way, not at all afraid of being punished by Theoric, in fact, at times it seemed like that's exactly what she wanted.
Nina didn't as yet have a role, but she began trying to take care of Sigyn and Theoric whenever she could, falling back into her worshiping ways. This was somewhat off-putting for Sigyn who liked to do the caring around here. Nina ended up being a great friend regardless too everyone on board though as they all felt at ease talking with her.

Taras was hard at work going over and using the data Theoric provided, doing his best to implement new techniques in order to achieve better results in the following creations.
Standing over his control console, he inputted the new data and watched the screen as the medical looking machines got to work on the creatures below, poking, prodding, cutting, and injecting them in various ways.
He grinned as the results came back positive, stepping away from the control console he walked around it towards the large window just behind. Looking through and down at the massive machine he was just watching on the monitor working down below in the large pit that housed one of his most formidable experiments.
A creature so large that one could not even see its full size from up top. The base trembled whenever its body had a reflex reaction which only made Taras grin all the wider. He knew that ancient blood General Kro gave him contained awesome mysterious power. It was one of the greatest finds he ever had and now he would see it brought out in the most glorious way he could.
The general commissioned and participated with him on another project with the blood, but this one, this one here was all on Taras's after persuading the General to let him split the ancient blood's use for another project. He wasn't going to let such an amazing opportunity be limited to just one, he had to extract as much benefit out of it as he could.
He did try and ask for more and from where the general got it, but alas he was told that was all he was going to get, so he used his portion as best he could., taking dot size drops for smaller projects while trying not to impact this main one that he had high hopes on.
The battle data from Theoric fights have made it all worth it though as he was able to further improve it.
Suddenly an alarm went off bringing him out of his thoughts, he went back to the console to see what was going on. Pulling up the monitor he saw it was the early warning system he put up for when Theoric was back. Cl.i.c.k.i.n.g the zoom button he spotted Theoric standing at the bow of his ship, looking so proud of himself, no clue of what's to come.
”Welcome back my little rat, let's see what useful data you'll provide next, I'm hoping this time for a bit of blood,” he said with a wicked grin as he clicked another button releasing Giganto 2.0.
”If blubber didn't work, maybe scales will, we'll see just how hard of a hit you can take,” he said before heading back to the window to look back down on his main one,- ”Soon my pet, soon, soon I will make you the strongest in all the lands, the gods themselves will quake in fear upon your arrival.”
