What It's Like To Call This Place Home
Overdrive
Previous ChapterNext Chapter-Twenty four hours later-
PK was in turbo "Dimitri, I am ready to attempt to achieve Overdrive."
Dimitri walked over to him "Alright, lets see if this works."
PK focused more energy to strength his muscles grew a few inches thicker, the electricity arching over his mechanical arm grew and spread to his back, and other arm, the knuckles on his living hand turned to a glowing green metal, he's fetlocks copied his knuckles, and his glowing green retinas intensified. The Spectors gathered around the first of them (not including Dimitri) to achieve Overdrive. 'This is an insane amount of power... Let us see what I can do...' He walked to a, supposedly unbreakable, gem stalagmite, he gripped it, pulling to the side. It began to groan as the Spectors watched in amazement, aside Crome Dimitri, who smiled. Les than a second later, PK snapped the stalagmite from its base, he charged it with a sizable chunk of electricity, as he threw it toward the ceiling. When it got half way, he released the grip on the energy, detonating the (supposedly unbreakable) gem structure. 'Well, that skill is absolutely worth training with...' He turned to the other Spectors "This makes my normal strength seem like that of Pound Cake's." 'I wonder what I could do if I combined Overdrive with Bull Ram...' He rammed shoulder first into the back wall, making a small tunnel, on impact 'Well... I think it may be a little over powered...'
"Dude, are you okey?" RED called down the tunnel, as PK walked out from his hole.
"Yes." He powered down to normal "I believe this upgrade has done what it was intended, a hundredfold. It will defiantly help with fighting Anitchka's army..."
RED looked at PK "My turn!" He quickly boosted to Turbo, then forced more heat into his inferno, his Stetson began to heat up (Atlus had infused it with RED's nanobots) as orange glowing outlines of fire appeared on it. His skin charred, looking like charcoal, his hands turned to fire, as did his feet, finally, his orange glowing retinas intensified. "Man, this is awesome!" He aimed his hands at the back wall, several feet from where PK made his tunnel, the heat in that area completely disappeard, as a small glowing speck appeared in his palm, a column of fore sprang from the speck, melting a tunnel in the rock, as though it was a wall of ice. "This kicks ass!" He laughed, reverting to normal.
"Alright, you've had your fun, now it's my turn!" Echo boosted into turbo, but not slowing down, as he forced more speed to his pace. His skin turned to a diamond surface, which shifted in the light, the tips of his wings glowed blue as did his hands, and his blue glowing retinas intensified. Echo had archived Overdrive. "Woo Hoo!" Echo moved to the rock wall, his arms a blur as he began punching in front of himself, when he made contact, he just kept walking into the wall until he hit ten feet deep. Stopping, he walked out, dropping back to normal. "That was awesome!"
PK walked to Atlus, who seemed to just be standing and watching the rest of them, "Do you posses the ability of turbo?"
"Indeed I do, and I was the one to test the Overdrive program." Atlus confirmed.
"Then let us see it, I wish to know what my comrade can do." PK looked to Atlus, who nodded.
Atlus was engulfed in his own nanobots as he levitated, his bad eye activated, it and the vapor it released, began glowing a bright red as the retina of his good eye did the same. He fell back to the ground as most of the nanobots moved to cover only his hands, also glowing the bright red. "This is my Turbo." The glowing shifted to a deep purple, as the circuits at the corner of his eyes glowed the same deep purple, the circuits in his forearms soon followed suit. "And this is my Overdrive." He aimed his palm at the wall just above the three holes, the cloud of nanobots pulsed green, then a marble sized ball of plasma shot into the wall, the hole the plasma created expanded explosively, making a tunnel similar to the other three. He put his hand down, reverting back to his normal state "And that is my signature plasma cannon dialed down to normal usage."
PK looked into the hole "That will come to good use." 'Good, at least I'm not the only door-maker anymore...' PK walked to Dimitri "How long can Overdrive last?"
"I don't know, that's why we're here, we know that we can stay in Turbo for almost a month, but Overdrive could be different for each of us." Dimitri looked to them "I want to see if Overdrive lasts even half that time."
PK boosted into Turbo, then into Overdrive "Alright, I am ready for the test."
-Two weeks later-
PK walked over to RED "How are you holding up?"
"I'm almost out of power, I think I have like two hours left." Red looked around. Looking back to PK he stated "How much longer do you have?"
"I would say, about another week." PK looked up to see Dimitri and Luna moving over to them.
"RED, PK, if you are feeling like you at at your limit, power down. If you try to force more time out of it, you might auto activate Terminal." Dimitri said, making RED power down.
PK looked to Dimitri "Why are you not testing your time limit as well?"
"I developed Overdrive while on Earth, my Overdrive lasts for three weeks." Dimitri answered.
"Ah, so why is RED only able to stay in for two weeks?" PK questioned.
"He uses a lot of power, so, while he only has two weeks, he makes up the the small time with massive power." Dimitri answered.
"How long does Atlus have?"
"Four days."
PK and RED looked at the sleeping living android "That is very powerful."
"Yes, but I'm also incomplete, and by his estimations, if I were complete, I would only have twenty-four hours."
PK stood "So the longer we last, the less power we have?"
"Not necessarily. It means the longer you last, the more you can do. It also means, that less time means more power exertion." Dimitri looked to Luna "PK will show you what he alone can do."
PK looked to Luna, bowing as he did so "Do you wish to see physical proof, or an explanation?"
"Proof, I must see it in person for Celestia to believe it." She stated as PK stood.
"Okey, stand back." PK said as the princess obeyed. PK raised his fist, smashing it into the floor, pulling up a chunk twice his size, he threw it into the air, as he charged his energy burst, aiming at the chunk with one hand. "There is so much power in this, that I can arc my electricity into any material." He said as a loud bolt of deep green electricity arced from his palm to the giant rock, that had reached the top of its flight, just as it exploded into nearly molten chunks of rock, witch Atlus picked out of the air using small plasma balls. "And expand it, detonating said item." He stated with a smirk.
Luna smiled triumphantly "It seems, the Spectors shall be ready for the war times, even better so than the actual Equestrian army."
PK stood at attention "Affirmative, we will be more than ready for Anitchka's army.
