Arlow Tsai is a great guy (really). Around the time space aliens became known to the human race, Arlow was informed about something strange. Copies of him were appearing around the multiverse. When he found out that he was in line for huge inherit...
"first" starts to lift her left hand, but is revulsed.
She remembers the books that describe this effect, a soul not at ease with a limb that took life. Condition that can last an entire life.
She so dearly hopes now that there had been some veto of reject by the hand. Something to stay a fleeting desire made true.
She had pulled up a small part of this plane of existence. Twisted to make a bubble. Use her finger to find thread harmonies and pinch them.
Sealing with a mend (the twist) the universe, but releasing the threads without tension. Realty for that bubble is gone. Only infinitesimal thread parts to mark what had been in the bubble.
Many years ago she had been in a pocket universe with a gigantic pile of books. One book near the bottom, but enclosed within a fake book. It was "Principalia Planar". Threads, Planes and how to control them.
A purposely rare book because of the things it describes.
When Ima shudders,"first" reacts quickly. He is near to soul extinction. The body has been poisoned, among other vile actions.
Touching the Wroug Woman (if you can call her that) gave her information on many things.
"first" pulls out a mechanoid host machine. A discarded attempt.
She guides Ima's spirit and soul into the biped shaped device. It has 'spirit energy' supporting equipment and battery power. "First" destroys the release switch. Ima might not be in a fit state to decide if he should live or die. Someone can repair the switch later.
Ima feels better and is exploring the useful parallelism it has in processing scenarios.
He asks "first" for some metal face and body coverings. A face like Ami's but made symmetrical to look of the left side with smoothing around the small face dimples. Yes. Yes. That is a pleasant looking face, like a child's toy. The body. It should be a sphere with a horizontal small flange. Yes. Yes. I am sure. A well-known child's toy looks like this. I want people to look at me and smile.
"first" makes a rift in the energy that surrounds the building and guides Ima (mechanoid) out.
He walks as fast as he can.
The head is turned completely backwards. She is at risk of killing herself. The scenarios are coming out 50-50.
The top of the building alights in red chaotic energies. The horizontal lines of red fall downward and leaves nothing above it. The red line falls to the ground and building is gone. Only a glistening fluid red melted pool in the shape to the foundation.
Ima thinks he saw a light slide up the trans-planar tunnel. It and the protective energy fields are collapsing. First slight gaps in visible fields, then only gaps left, then gone.
The red pool skins over in some black crust.
Ima takes time to talk to Wrougs as he walks.
"I am Ima, the hostage of the Super Villainess. She is gone."
"No someone else destroyed the building. Someone Lan."
"I walking to the Lan Consulate, but they will probably come get me."
"Yes, my predictive ability looks to be workable."
Two male Lan in dark suits and dark glasses transport around Ima and transport away with him.
The Wrougs look back at the building. The lair of the Super Villainess. It is. It is just gone.
