Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

Dawn and I talked for a while longer, but then we parted ways, and I let the grass pull me along. I wasn't sure where I would go at first, but then I smiled.

I wasn't even the slightest bit tired, and I wanted to get things with the bunker dealt with. As far as I could see, the fight with the sisters was not going to be good for the planet's surface, but it wasn't just the space dragons that I was worried about.

I was actually more concerned about what was going to happen when I started to fight them. Even if I tried my best, it was going to be really hard to keep my cool while fighting. That could get people killed all over the world if the planet started to go crazy. The only way I could see to get around this was to figure out how to use those spaces that were in the bottom level of the bunker at Area 51.

"Sofia?" I said softly, and her image came into my view.

"Papi? Why are you not in bed?" Sofia asked as she sat at her desk, clearly still working.

"Same as you, Hermosa. There is too much to do with too little time. I am going to head back to the bunker, so I will try to keep in contact with you while I am there, but I will probably go quiet again because of the Silence. I just wanted to let you know in case anyone is looking for me," I explained, and Sofia nodded, but she also sighed.

"You had better be careful, Papi. That thing down there is very dangerous, so maybe you should take Dawn with you, just in case. Suppose you can get information about the special storage places. In that case, we might be able to create a System that could do the same thing, so we don't have to worry about everyone coming out older and crazy," Sofia suggested, and I nodded. I should have asked Dawn while I was talking with her, but I had still considered what I would do. There were many other things I could do, but at this point, it would require waking people up for most of them.

"Yeah, I will get her to come with me. Make sure you are taking time for soaks, even if you have to make a tub in your office! I know that you like to work, but you have to keep your body energized, even if it doesn't need to sleep all the time," I warned, and Sofia rolled her eyes at me.

"Yes, Papi. I know how to take care of myself," Sofia said, and then she ended the call. I knew that she would, but it was more for my own peace of mind, and I couldn't help but worry about her.

I turned my attention back to the task at hand, and I got the grass to take me to the closest tree that Dawn stepped out of.

"You wanted to see me again? Did you forget something?" Dawn asked me, and I shrugged.

"I was going to wait till tomorrow to go to the bunker in Area 51, but I decided that I might as well get going as soon as possible. I am not sure how long it will take and Sofia thought it would be good to have you come along with me. There is a really dangerous entity and some other creatures that were going to have to be brought back for study," I explained, and Dawn nodded with a smile.

"Yes, I remember that. I don't mind coming with you, but I don't think that it would be wise to have me come down with you. I can wait up top and prepare whatever you find for transport, but that monster down there could try and take over me if I came with you," Dawn said as I picked her up into my arms, and a silver tear formed around us.

My gravity engine turned on, and we were almost instantly above the secret base, and the tear burst into fan blades around us to disperse the heat from the extreme speed in the low atmosphere. I dropped us down to the ground and set Dawn down on shaky legs.

"You should have warned me about that," Dawn said as she regained her composure, and I shrugged.

"Sorry, but it was faster this way. Are you going to be okay?" I asked her, and she nodded as she put a hand on my arm. Her fingers were long and slender like models, but they now have an almost metallic quality.

"I will be fine. Just give me a few minutes to catch my breath," Dawn said as she walked over to sit down on a nearby rock, and I nodded before turning towards the bunker entrance. It was time to get this over with so we could move on to the next phase of our plan.

"I am going to do a quick check to see what I can do about the power here. As far as I can tell, there is nothing generating any here. I might have to get a source going before I head down," I said, not really sure how I was going to do that. If I could find a water source, I could use my ice powers to make a geyser, but that would take time.

I turned on my new seismic vision and started to look for anything that might work when I saw what looked to be a generator underground in the back part of the base, closer to some small mountains.

"I found a generator, but it looks like it's been damaged. I am going to have to go underground to get to it," I explained to Dawn, and she nodded.

"I will be here when you get back up. Take your time, and be careful," Dawn said as she leaned back against the rock, and I nodded before turning towards the entrance.

I headed around a few buildings till I made it to a small shed-like building, but my body was pulsing out waves like a sonar that penetrated everything to let me see through things and into the ground up to a hundred feet. I was easily able to see that there was a hatch on the other side of the door that led to a ladder that went to the generator.

There was a code pad to get into the building, so I scanned it over and got a reading of how it worked and how I could use it. I stabbed a root at it that splashed around it as it hit, and I gave it a jolt of power, making the door open like nothing.

I did the same thing to the keypad on the hatch leading down, but this time I had a smile on my face. While using my abilities had been cool before, something about being able to hack into military base locks like I was using child's toys was pretty cool. I wondered what other crazy things I was going to be able to do now that the power was online?

I let my roots open the hatch and then lowered myself down to a generator that was a bit bigger than a two-story house, but it was strange. I scanned it over, and there was something powering it, but I couldn't tell what. I looked deeper into the energy source and frowned as I started to understand how it worked.

The thing was somehow tapping into an extradimensional energy source that was in a realm that bordered on madness. Even looking at it made my head hurt, but there were ways to use this safely. It would just require some careful study so we didn't accidentally blow up the planet while trying to get power for the bunker and base above ground.

"Sofia?" I asked out loud, and my beautiful Senorita appeared with a frown in my view.

"Why is it dark where you are, Papi?" Sofia asked me, and I grinned.

"Just playing with some new toys, Mi Amor. I found a power source that we are going to need to study, but it is going to be very dangerous," I explained, and Sofia sighed.

"I was afraid you were going to say that, Papi. Send me what you have and I will quickly go over it and see what you can do," Sofia said as she reached out and touched my cheek through the view screen.

I leaned into her hand with a smile on my face before kissing her fingertips gently before she pulled them back. That was something new, and I liked it. I sent her the information about the power source and then started to look around for anything else that might help us out.

"This is not going to be easy to tap into without risking blowing up the planet, so we will have to be very careful. I have drawn up some schematics on how it could work, but we will need something called a Power Focus," Sofia explained, and I frowned.

"What is that?" I asked her, and Sofia sighed before starting to explain in detail what we would need, along with a few other things that would help us understand how this power source worked without going insane in the process.

"When this was forced to shut down, the Power Focus would have been destroyed, so you are going to have to look for one. Even after finding it, I think that you are going to need something to seal you off before starting this thing back up," Sofia explained, and I groaned. I had really hoped this was going to be an easy fix, but I was going to need power here, or it was pointless for me to go back down.
