He marched us at gun point to the safehouse. They also blew up our van. We were not getting home anytime soon. He was smart not to lead us right to his Wind Clan's transmission hub. It seemed to actually be a really nice house out of the way of the big city proper. Now that they were occupying it, they kicked out all the PEP unit staff and those visiting. I guessed they had the hub, so they had to power to do whatever they pleased here. We were put all together in an upstairs bedroom. 06-002 and 003 were told to watch us as he conducted his business. The AEP units were both in a very jocular mood. They had in fact captured members of the strongest and most advanced clan on the continent. As far as accomplishments go, they were already doing way better than 05-001 or 10-001 ever did. They asked all the AEP units of my party about them and what organs they had. They were both surprised that they had 3 organs as well as the plasma cannons. Wind Clan had the handgun barrels and their singular organs. 06-002 had the air cannon and 06-003 had a large fan to repel enemies.

06-001 came back upstairs. Apparently, they had been trying to seal the deal with other clans for an alliance to no avail. It seemed that Wind Clan was seen as pretty weak. To be fair, their faction had impact, water, radiation, void, pierce, wind and toxic. Now Water Clan would be reformed as a Researcher faction clan. If they gave us as a gift to one of the others, that would be worth something pretty big. "How did it go?" 06-002 asked. 06-001 just sighed and cracked his knuckles. "His monologue about Toxic and Void is true. They don't want anything to do with them. We got a bite from Impact Clan. They said they would be here in a couple of days. Don't let them out of your sight until then." All the AEP and PEA unit subordinates nodded as one. That was cute. I just sighed. "I'll do you a favor and stay put. You seem like you need all the help you can get." I said. 06-001 walked up to me and tried to menace me, but it did not work. I saw all that he had to offer aside from his organ. He decided to reveal it then. A smooth black hole in his stomach opened up. I fought the urge to finger it.
It was the size of the lotus that Cameron and Caleb could produce. We got the special one and they got the standard one. 06-001 pressed against me belly to belly. I could hear it ticking. There was also a light suction that I could feel coming from him. He was in the safehouse, so he was obviously holding back in order to not destroy the whole building. "The implosion bomb. Nice." I said to him. "Yeah. Mine actually works unlike those mutts." I did not doubt that. Because he was a prime example of a pure-bred Wind AEP, the damage and range for his organ was doubled. Ava's bomb could leave a dent in me. About 15% of my health would be gone at full range. Even if he was holding back, at point blank range like this, I was looking at a good third of my health gone. The actual explosion would rock me too. I'd go deaf and be stunned for some time. Not something you wanted in a combat scenario. It would even make it easy for these assholes to kill me. "Not going to move?" he asked. If he wanted to play a game of chicken, we could. I pressed further into him. 06-001 began to look strained.
