Chapter 4: The Morpheus Suit
It took a while for Edele to soak in all that he had told her.
It was Keavy's turn next.
"I will give you your gift now."
Drax opened his palm. He held it out to her. It caught her curiosity. She walked up to it.
It looked a like a dark, small blob. Keavy watched it wiggle and dance over his hand.
She leaned closer.
Suddenly, the blob jumped at her. It seeped into her face, through the pores in her skin. It was visible as it ran through her body. Then it vanished.
Keavy's eyes widedened with anxiety.
"What...did you put inside me...?"
"It has chosen you as it's new host."
"Host?"
Drax explained. The 'blob' was really a super-organic alien It chooses it's 'host' and gives them super-speed and super-strength. But it's most important is the ability to change shape, to morph into the form of any animal.
But only when the host dies, does the alien uninhabit. On it's planet, it had a form. But on Earth it could have no form and could only survive in a human host. It was not harmful to the 'wearer', but actually protected them. The alien was the leader of it's home planet, also destroyed.
"It forms around your entire body, face, and head. It forms like ink and covers you, then hardens like a suit. It cannot be penetrated. Simpy say the words 'bind' and 'unbind' to 'wear and remove' the suit."
"Bind?"
As soon as she said that, the 'ink' began to seep back out of her skin and form over her.
"Oh, crap...erm...unbind!"
The suit returned under her skin.
"That was the craziest, freakin' thing...!", Sinead said. Previous Chapter | Next Chapter |
