Sam 17
Introduction:
More trouble for Sam
They both looked at each other again. Sam didn’t have random dreams. His mental powers were far too high to take anything he said lightly. Both females tried to lift Sam to a cot so he might be more comfortable. To their shock not only could they not pick him up, he didn’t even budge an inch.
Drivas shook her head, “Monitor him with every piece of equipment we have. We’ve come too far for something to happen to him now.”
Thellus nodded as she started to monitor Sam. “It is hard to get much of a reading on Sam.” She reported. “It also appears to be as Thantas stated. His body is going through some type of change. As of yet I can’t tell exactly what though he is changing.”
“I’m going through the data base looking up everything that we have on the Cliveastone. So far there only seems to be the basic knowledge. It’s almost as if all records of the race, the planet and their abilities have been expunged.” Drivas stated her brow furrowed as she tried suss out an answer.
Thellus came over to look at what Drivas was seeing. “It appears that any information that was there, was removed a long time ago, According to this nothing has been added since the data base was created. Strange,” Thellus said deep in thought. “Something as important as this should have been updated at least once a week.”
A sudden beeping from the console drew both females to it. “Damn it! According to this all scans of Sam are now being reflected back.” Both females looked at Sam, “What is going on in there?” Drivas asked, a worried look dominating her features.

Triot slowly walked toward the command center, it was taking far longer to get used to the new senses that he liked. Everywhere he looked he was seeing energy of several different aspects. Shaking his head had helped momentarily then it all came crashing back.
Triot had taken several readings feeding it into the massive comps that were in the room. As of yet they hadn’t given any answers yet, though he knew they would soon. Perhaps even a new direction to go in.
Triot knew he had to go carefully; the Lord Doctor would make very short work of him if he found out. It was bad enough that he’d felt Triot when he first woke up. Now the Lord Doctor would be hovering not far away with the feeling of a new bigger power.
Triot shook his head again, no, he had to keep this hidden as long as possible. There in laid the problem, anymore advances the Lord Doctor would surely detect. Then again Triot thought, why hadn’t he been found out yet? Could he really hide it that well?
A small smile crossed his lips, he’d have to experiment with that. Soon he would, for right now, he had to deal with the present problem.
Walking to a console Triot started to type at an alarming speed. Finished he stepped back watching as the information began to flow faster and faster. Still smiling he hoped that the several thousand gigabytes he’d just added would help the comps to deduce a solution.
Waiting for almost half an hour he was shocked when the comp finally spit out an answer. Looking at the read out, he lost his smile as his face dropped. According to the readout, Sam was a true Cliveastone though it seemed that he had a few abilities that Triot didn’t remember.
Cursing, Triot turned to input more data when his legs went weak. With an unceremonious shiver, he crumpled to the deck. This prompted more than a few personnel to try and assist him up. They were all surprised when none of them could even move let alone lift him.
Triot was still trying to rise though, it felt as if all the energy had been sucked from his body. Oddly enough it was this weakness that semi-protected him when the Lord Doctor appeared.
{Triot! We don’t have time for this weakness. Get up, back to work.} Triot shakily stood as the Lord Doctor nodded then vanished.
Triot breathed a sigh of relief as he stumbled to a chair. He’d obviously forgotten something. He had to get back to the experiment room quickly. Having several IP members wheel him to the room he dismissed them. He then started several intense scans.
It was almost two hours later he found an answer. Apparently his power had increased greatly, for faster than his body was able to keep up with at the moment. According to what he saw he was lucky that he’d made it as far as he had.
Nodding he took out several vials to consume before he lost consciousness. Hurriedly he poured them down his throat as his vision was starting to blur. Fighting to stay aware, he started on the second set of vials feeling the nutrients flow through his body.
Damn he thought that was close. Without the protection of the room they would have found him. That end wouldn’t have been very good at all.

Sam was having the hardest time waking up. What in the hell? Why was he feeling as if there were millions of tons of weight on him? That was when he heard, then saw, a vision of two human like people.
Sam was sitting on… whatever in the hell it was. Looking up he noticed the male and female watching him. Sam’s eyes went wide as he could almost recognize them. Damn it, it was right there, so close, yet he couldn’t grasp it.
“I know you, the both of you though, for the life of me I can’t seem to recall either of your names.” A now shaky Sam stated.
The male nodded seeming to be deep in thought. “You are just starting to access the repressed memories that we stored in you. As we said before it will take a little more time then all will be revealed. Know that you are, our son. You are the first to finally make it to this point.”
The female then stepped forward with a small smile on her face. “I have always been so proud of you my son, though no more than I am now. When we started this so long ago, many thought that it would never work. Your father and I always knew that it would. It was our hope that you would emerge first, now that you are, we have even more hope.”
“Soon son, you will face an almost insurmountable task, one that I am afraid we cannot help you with. When you awake you will have the beginning of all that you need to survive and rebuild.” The male told Sam.
Sam now even more confused than before looked back and forth between the two. “If I am this great rebuilder, then just how am I supposed to do that?”
Both of the images before him smiled, then they both reached to him touching his forehead. “Remember,” he heard the two of them almost whisper. “Remember, beware the Tetricons. They now, no longer have a weapon against you. We made sure of that when we sent you to earth.”
Suddenly there was a stabbing, blinding, painful amount of light all around and in Sam. Letting out a scream Sam felt his self being propelled upward.
Both Drivas and Thellus immediately snapped their attention to the consoles that were rapidly beeping. Both then turned toward Sam as another scream came from his lips. Just as suddenly his eyes snapped open as he lay there panting.
“What in the hell was all that?” He asked in a whisper. Looking around he spotted two females on the other side of the room. For a moment he could only stare at the tall blonde and the tall auburn colored hair females. They were also fairly well muscled.
Another thing was that, they were staring at him, not making a single attempt to help him. He felt his muscles start to twitch, then another stabbing pain in his head.
“He seems to be recovering rather quickly,” the auburn haired female stated.
The blonde looked at the console nodding, “Yes it appears so, though from the looks of things he is disoriented somewhat.”
Sam looked at the two females wondering what in the hell they were talking about. Recovering? Disorientated? Just what in the hell was Drivas and Thellus talking about?
Both females watched as Sam’s confused look suddenly went to a wide eyed look of understanding.
Looking at the blonde he asked, “You’re Drivas, Drivas Flot.” He stated to which she nodded slowly.
Turning toward the auburn colored haired female he stated, “And you are Thellus Wron.” Which caused her to vigorously nod. “I know the both of you though I am not sure how I do.”
Thinking a moment Drivas finally nodded as she asked, “Can you remember anything else?”
Sam slowly, very slowly got to a sitting position. Looking at Drivas he tried to think which caused his head to ache more.
Barely shaking his head seemed to help a bit. “I remember,” here he paused as the pain started to ease. “The both of you helped me though it goes against all that you know. I remember a powerful female; she seems to be like me. I remember another female that I helped and left somewhere that was like me. Then there… AH! Shit! My head is going to split open, too much, too damn much!”
Drivas wanted more than anything to help Sam though she knew better. She had power yes, though compared to Sam she was fairly weak. She felt so helpless as Sam rolled on the deck in obvious pain.
Reaching out Drivas tried to contact Thantas, shocked when she couldn’t even feel her presence. {Thantas? Are you there? Sam is in a lot of pain there’s nothing I can do to help him.} Drivas’s thoughts stated.
A moment later a quick message came back. {I cannot either. We have a dangerous situation here. I will contact you as soon as I can.} Then Thantas was quiet again, nothing of her to be felt.
A dangerous situation? Drivas thought what was going on now?
“My god! Do the two of you have to be so damn loud!?” Sam groaned out. Sam took a deep breath after a few more moments then relaxed, the stressed look disappearing from his face.
Opening his eyes, he looked straight at Drivas, “Thank you for your concern. Though now? It won’t be necessary. I know who and what I am. I also know who and what destroyed the Cliveastone world. The next few months aren’t going to be very pretty. If the both of you want out, I can hide you ’til it is over.”
Both the females were startled at the sudden shift in Sam, also the amazing clarity that he now possessed. They both shook their heads.
“We will be considered traitors soon anyway. Better to die trying to free all of the cruel treatment that they have been receiving. No, I think I speak for the both of us when I say, we are with you.” Drivas stated with Thellus nodding vigorously.
Sam nodded then stated, “Alright, I just wanted to warn you. I need to continue where Thantas left off. It will be painful, I am sorry though, I need the both of you higher if you are to survive.”
“Are things that bad?” Drivas asked.
“Not yet though, if what I am feeling from Triot is true? We now have a much stronger enemy, that has stepped into the mix.” Sam explained. “Plus, I still have Mellos Thymp out there hunting for me. Though she is really no longer a threat to me.”
Drivas and Thellus could only stare at Sam, “No longer a threat? She has always been a threat; how can this be?” Drivas asked.
A small smile crossed Sam’s lips, “As I said I know who AND what I am. I will have a far better understanding of what is happening. Also, of what I need to do, this includes finishing what Thantas started within the both of you. I promise I will try to make sure there is as little pain as possible, though there will be some.”
Thellus immediately walked to the small area that she and Drivas had set aside. They had done this after the first time Thantas had worked on them.
Lying down Thellus nodded “I am ready though I hope that I can recover faster this time.”
“I also hope so; the down time should be less each time now.” Sam stated.
Looking in Sam saw what Thantas had done. Thellus was almost half changed now though neither realized it. The simple fact that they had agreed to do anything to help, put his mind more at ease.
Taking a deep breath Sam started to slowly change more of the DNA and RNA inside Thellus. She wasn’t at half yet so the pain was still going to be severe. Damn it, here the pain was rapidly rising faster than he expected it to. Shutting down half her pain system wasn’t going to help much either.
Drivas watched as at first Sam struggled, then finally things were going smoothly. Thellus suddenly let loose a high pitched scream that resounded off the walls of the room. Cringing, Drivas struggled to stay where she was. Hearing Thellus screaming went all the way through her.
Sam finally breathed a sigh of relief when Thellus passed the half way mark. There was still a long way to go, though her body wouldn’t fight the changes as bad now. He could also feel that Drivas was struggling to contain herself. This brought a small smile to his face. At fifty five percent he felt her body start to weaken. She needed at least four percent more, taking a deep breath again he strengthened and did the changes. Finally, at fifty nine percent he released.
Falling into a chair Sam felt his energy rapidly rebuild. Guess I should have waited a bit longer he thought. He was amazed when he felt closer to normal only ten minutes later.
Looking at Thellus then Drivas, he could see that both their genome were now more like his own. He hoped that it would help more for whatever Thantas had in mind. He smirked slightly, Thellus was in for a big surprise when she awoke, as he was sure Drivas was.

Mellos awoke with a start, she’d been asleep again? What in the hell was wrong with her. Then there was the fact that she was feeling the same pressure she had before. Rising she stared at the waste room then she was there! Ok, things were really starting to get weird as hell.
After finishing she shook her head, thinking she needed to examine herself, again she vanished appearing before her medical equipment. Her and her assistant’s mouths were gaping at her sudden appearance. Running the med scans, her mouth dropped open again. Seventy five percent?
Looking at her assistant she had to do a double take. Damn the male had a damn fine broad chest and muscles. Reaching over she smacked the male across the room making him smile. Shaking her head, the nice thoughts she’d had faded. What the hell was going on? According to the readings she didn’t need to consume any others. Though she was still sick, she was only that, not in much danger at all.
Looking over the readings of her last fight with Sam she saw that her strength was seventy percent of what his was. Good she thought with a smile, then he really had felt it when she hit him.
The next time they met she was really going to have to kill him. He was the only one out there that was stronger than her. Then again she thought, there was that female that she lost to Sam. She had probably been healed also. It might be worth going to see.
Walking to the command chair she sighed when she saw her slave was unconscious. Programming in the new course she hoped that it brought Sam to her, there wasn’t much more she needed before she was free. Well, freer to do what the hell she wanted.
__________________________________________________________________
Sam watched Thellus as her body was slowly adapting to the changes he’d done. He was about to stand when he heard Queen Triada. {Sam?} He heard there was a sense of urgency in her thoughts.
{Are you alright Queen Triada? Are you under attack again?} Sam’s thoughts asked.
{We are fine Sam, though I wanted to warn you. Mellos Thymp is heading to the planet where you left the other like you.} The Queen relayed.
Sam was nodding ’til Triada got to this last part. {I hate to leave right now. I’m not sure if I can take Drivas and Thellus with me. Their ship might not be able to take the strain of my traveling.}
{I have to agree; you travel faster than their technology can. Please stay in contact, we will do all we can to help.} Triada’s thoughts stated.
Sam turned to Drivas, “I have to go, it appears that Mellos is heading to where Raydy is. I thought when I left her there she’d be safe. I guess I was wrong.”
Drivas was nodding, “Go, we will follow as soon as we can.”
Sam sighed as he looked at Drivas, then walked to the wall phasing through. Appearing outside Sam accelerated away then into a worm hole.
Less than an hour later Sam exited the worm hole near a now familiar orange, gaseous giant. Sam started toward the planet cursing when he saw that Mellos’s ship was already there.
He suddenly accelerated when he thought he heard Raydy scream, landing with a loud thump near the two females. Damn Sam thought, that was harder than I wanted.
Mello’s turned startled by the loud noise. A small smile on her face as she knew that Sam was near. Releasing the tall female Mellos shook her head. This one was far different than the others she’d encountered.
Mellos started to turn toward Sam when she was suddenly hit, knocking her off her feet. Why that little bitch! Getting to her feet Mellos started to swing at the female then was shocked when her fist stopped in midair.
Looking at her fist she saw that Sam had it in a tight grip. Looking up at his face, she saw that he had a deep scowl on his face.
“I was wondering when you’d get here. Though I didn’t think it would be this fast, good job on her by the way. She was able to resist over half of my attempts. Then,” here Mellos looked around Sam at Raydy. “That little bitch knocked me off my feet. That is no easy feat as you well know.”
“What in the hell are you doing here?” Sam growled.
“Had to get your attention somehow, after I am fully healed? We’ll see who is the strongest.” Here Mello’s was smiling widely ’til she looked into Sam’s eyes. “Ah! I see, so you have accessed the memories also. Good then this will be so much sweeter when I kill you!” With those words Mellos drew her fist back driving it into Sam’s stomach.
With an oomph, Sam was knocked back a few feet. Mellos shook her hand with a smile. If she got the desired effect then the pain was worth it.
Sam was startled when he felt a female hand grab his to help him up. Looking up, he saw Raydy smile down at him. “After she is gone can you help me? I’ve had a few problems since you left.”
Startled a moment Sam nodded. Getting to his feet Sam turned toward Mellos. “I have accessed them; I can also turn that ability off.”
Mello’s smile rapidly faded from her face, then Sam rushed her catching her by surprise. Flying backwards into the nearest mass of trees, Mellos felt her anger rise. Finally stopping she stood still a moment as a plan formed. Nodding her head, she thought of Sam vanishing.
Mellos appeared in front of Sam swinging her fist at him as hard as she could. This time she was shocked when he again caught her fist. Wagging a finger in her face he started to squeeze her fist harder.
Swinging her other fist, she was even more shocked when he caught and started to squeeze that also.
Suddenly a strange look came over Mello’s face as a male voice came out of her mouth. “You cannot win Fino, she is well established. You will not remove her as you did the rest of us, or as you thought you did.”
Sam was also shocked when his father’s voice came out of his mouth. “We never removed you Tynco, like us you were stored ’til such time as you could be healed. Much as your daughter has been.”
Both Sam and Mellos shouted, “WHAT!?” A look of shock on both their faces.
