60 Orochimarus Experiments (2/2)
”Yes, Doug has a mutation that's quite different from the previous two, as this one is a sort of bacteria that spreads around his body on command, and it's got the exact same qualities as stone, I refer to it as Stoneskin, if he uses it in a firefight, he could use it as a shield to bullets, causing only bruises to form under the Stone-like bacteria” Orochimaru said.
”Okay, Doug's ability could be useful in a melee fight, what about the last one?” I asked.
”Ah, right. The last one is the little girl, Clementine, she has gained quite the perculiar mutation that allows her to control the small amounts of chakra and ki in the air, basically allowing her to manipulate it to no end, she could use it to hover in the air, rip out the air in their lungs and create mini tornadoes to kill foes, it's by far the most useful offensive mutation that we have” Orochimaru said with a grin.
”Ah, Clementine could be incredibly useful in that case... so, are you sure that nobody else has a mutation?” I asked.
”I am 99% positive,” Orochimaru said.
”Only 99%?” I asked.
”I've learned that my calculations don't always go to plan, so that 99% is just a failsafe, but I'm incredibly confident that nobody else has a mutation,” Orochimaru said with a small smile.
”Ah, okay,” I said, ”Now, all we have to do is wait around one or two years and you will be appropriately rewarded with Namekian cells,” I said.
”Namekian?” Orochimaru asked.
”They can regenerate lost limbs within seconds and live for a couple hundred years, and they can lay eggs to make some minions... they could be useful if you could genetically modify them to be more... aggressive, as they're a passive race” I said.
”Of course master, I will think about how to do exactly as you wish while I'm here,” Orochimaru said with a grin.
”Okay then, now... let's go,” I said.
”Go? Where?” Orochimaru asked, confused.
”To tell the mutants what mutations they have, of course,” I said with a grin, ”Unless you've already told them...”
”Of course I didn't master, I only ran the simulations in my head of what they could do, so they could be slightly stronger or weaker than what I originally thought,” Orochimaru said.
”Well, that's okay... now, let's tell them,” I said with a grin, as I walked to the mutated humans in the group and told them one by one, their reactions... varied.
”Wait, so I can create Stoneskin around my body at will? Awesome!” Doug said enthusiastically.
”So, I can take more hits, stay awake and run longer? Man, that's bullshit...” Lee said in an annoyed tone.
”Huh, I thought my vision got a lot better, to think it'd be a mutation... okay, that's kind of cool” Carley said with a smirk.
”So, I'm like a superhero? I'll be... uh... Tornado Girl!” Clementine said with a happy grin.
'Well, at least they didn't completely freak out like I thought they would' I thought, as a small smile slowly crept up on my face, as I watched the four test out their mutations, Doug's arm turning into stone, Lee running on the spot, timing himself, Carley identifying animals in the woods from far away and Clementine creating a small ball of air and hitting the wall with it.
'Looks like this world is a bit different from what I originally thought' I thought.
