Rise To Stardom

Chapter 242: Malakai Volt

Chapter 242: Malakai Volt

On the morning of the third day, Nathan and Malakai, finally having resolved the formula to stabilize the unstable isotopy of the serum, would stare at each other, a strong hint of promise in their irises.

Pulling out a makeshift laboratory table from a secret panel hidden in the wall of his basement, the young genius would then watch as his similarly intellectual professor incorporated it into the now red serum, both watching with bated breaths and a hopeful gaze.

And upon watching the serum, change from red, to an almost formless color, both parties would then share a hug and a firm handshake with a sense of unbridled achievement.

With that, Malakai would then inform Nathan, telling him that he should head on over to prepare for his matriculation, albeit the young man would be adamant on sticking around till the cyborg came around.

But with enough persuasion, and the reminder that his grandfather would in fact, be at the ceremony, Nathan had begrudgingly accepted and did as he was told.

Having left the basement, Malakai's warm smiles would take on an apathetic shift as he walked over to his monitor and pulled up another video feed.

It was the continuation of the video feed of his transformation that had abruptly being cut off when Nathan was viewing it and also the continuation of the very first scene of the movie.

And reflected on the screen as the professor watched the video of his transformation, was his current, exact same cybernetic arm, dropping off from his body and replicating on its own in tiny, reddish-black, particulate matter to form an unrecognizable, amorphous, glowing, reddish-black metal.

Almost immediately, another cybernetic arm, grew out of Malakai's seemingly amputated arm in the feed, its build the exact same as his current cybernetic arm.

It was at this moment that the audience would be treated to their very first rollercoaster after the initial twist, one that would only spiral on as the Professor would then repeat the same motions in real time.

And upon dropping the cybernetic arm to the ground, it would slowly morph and differentiate, not into the amorphous reddish-black metal this time but into the mystery cyborg instead.

Unfortunately for Nathan, it was at this moment that he had walked back into the room, hell-bent on convincing his professor that he should in fact, stick around till the cyborg came back.

It was also the scene that Kyle, Clint and Adam were about to shoot as Xavier, commanded;

"Lights… Camera… Action!"
