Making his way into Science class, Darren spotted Hannah. The teen was currently in her robotic monkey form as she held a chair for him. "Geez what happened to you," she said.
"Gym class," Darren said, removing the ice pack. "Brad hit me in the nose while playing basketball."
Hannah winced, noticing the swelling on Darren's face. "Damn what he hit you with a sledgehammer," Hannah exclaimed. "I'm sure Neela wasn't happy. Shes probably chewing out Ewart now."
Darren tried his best now to hide a grin. He was the only one to remember Neela as an adult, not the beat friend and fellow medical genius of Ewart. "I'm sure it will be okay."
"Yeah right,: Hannah scoffed. "Everyone knows Neela decided to become a nurse so she can hangout with Ewart. The girl could be in medical school right now but she has a HUGE crush on Ewart. Everybody knows that. Well, everyone but Ewart. Why are guys always so oblivious?"
Darren chuckled, relishing in the fact he was the only one who remembered how things were supposed to be. He now decided to tell Hannah at the end of the day. For now, he would relish in the fact that for once he wasnt as oblivious as Hannah thought.
"Take your seats class."
Darren and the rest of his classmates now began making their way towards their seats. Darren always liked Science. The teacher, Mr Blackwell, was a good teacher, engaging his students and making the class not only informative but entertaining. Darren, though, had made a decision after regressing Neela. If their was going to be another child genius at school, their should be another soul drive as well.
Mr. Blackwell now stood stick still. The middle aged teachers skin taking on a plastic sheen as his body began to transform. Darren watched as Mr. Blackwells body began to change, his chest becoming barrel shaped as his clothing vanished. Covering his body now was strategically placed black fur, his ears moving towards the top of his head and becoming plastic. Finally his face began to change, taking the form of a wolf similar to Hazel. Unlike Hazel though, Mr. Blackwell or Onyx, identified as a male. While he didnt have the necessary equipment, he did appear male in form. Strong built arms, a muscular robotic frame, and even a deep baritone signaled that Onyx was now unique from other Soul Drives. He, unlike his sisters, was the only male.
Darren smiled admiring his handiwork as Onyx now began the lesson. The maid bots lessons were flawless, his new systems allowing him to show holographic imagery that the students could interact with. Darren and the class laughed with joy as Onyx allowed the students to assemble their own holographic genetic structure. The students marveling as they learned about dominant and recessive genes in real time.
As the bell sounded ending the school day, Darren lingered behind. Slowly he now approached the gynoid to see how his latest creation was doing. "Great lesson Mr. Onyx."
"Its just Onyx Darren," he chuckled. "And I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson. Was worried the new programs I uploaded would be a bit advanced for all of you."
"No it actually helped alot," Darren said. "Seeing how the genetic sequences of dominant and recessive genes can allow you to know what color your children's eyes will be was fascinating."
Onyx now thanked Darren, feeling a bit of pride that his lesson had made such an impact.
"Hey bro how was class?"
Onyx turned, a smile cracking across his lips as he noticed Hazel standing in the doorway. "Class was great sis," he said. "You ready to head home?"
"I promised Sapphire and Emerald I would swing by before we headed home to recharge," she said.
"Ugh perfect," he groaned. "Guess that means I'll be the fifth wheel in this little get together."
"Aw cmon Onyx," Hazel whined. "Its not so bad. Besides the girls really like you."
"More like beating me at Puzzle Privateers," he grumbled. "Why cant we ever try one of those RPGs you've been working on. You know I'm more of a RPG fan."
"I promise it wont be too long," Hazel laughed. "You might even have some fun but I'll tell you what. You hangout and I'll give you the latest copy of Dungeon Heros."
Onyx seemed to perk up as he now began to exit the classroom with his sister. The two droids now turning to Darren. "Tell Steph we said hi," they said.
Darren promised he would as he now made his way towards his locker. Today had been a pretty good day.
