As a baby dragon, it wasn't a biomech yet, and fixing his near fatal wounds seemed like a good occasion to formally enroll him into the life of dragon biomechs.
Within minutes, its constant moans and groans subsided, replaced by an occasional grunt of pain as the nano tech worked at full speed to heal him then install a series of top grade biomech parts!
That serpentine mecha I absorbed maybe really old, but it was still made up of armor which was incredibly strong at peak blue-mecha level.
Within a short minute, the dragonling started to look really, really cool.
How cool?
Please remember that I was a ten year old designing and making my first biomech. If you think about it from that perspective, maybe you could understand why the dragonling looked like it did.
The very first thing I did was to make it more like a true ancient chinese dragon than a mixture of chinese and western dragon.
I restructured its wings and made them really short in wingspan. However, I stretched them all the way down for half its body length, making it look more like a Concorde rather than a standard Boeing 747.
For its flight module, I gave it a Vertical Take Off and Landing system, so it had no need to depend on its wings anymore.
Next, I gave its four limbs a huge boost in strength and the ability to stretch out for three times its original length.
When I was younger, I had a passing interest in a fictional monster called Godzilla. I was fascinated by how the fins on its back could glow and generate some sort of power that would allow it to release a powerful energy beam.
Now, with the knowledge of countless incredible technologies, I was able to conclusively say that the person who thought of the fin idea for Godzilla was either from the future which had extremely inefficient technology or a technological fool.
Energy absorption and the following reaction to generate energy beams could not be done that way. It would be highly inefficient with a horrendous amount of energy loss, and insanely difficult to implement with a stupidly massive need to create energy pathways to allow the energy to move.
Plus, it would be a massive liability during combat. Who on earth would want their energy absorption devices so out in the open and so easy to rip off?
However, on the cool scale, it was off the charts.
So I gave the dragonling that.
Of course, I made it so that they were merely secondary methods of energy absorption and conversion, a mini and inefficient turbo to the main engine, if you will.
But twin lines of sharp fins ran parallel down its back when I was done with my modification.
It was able to unleash its standard dragon breath, and choose to double its payload as and when it liked by activating the mod.
The dragon breath would serve as its primary long range weapon. Of course I did not forget to give it a host of advanced energy turrets and the standard propulsion machine guns and missiles.
My offensive package made it was a veritable war machine.
I did not forget to include a mini pod on its body, of course.
I had a dragon, and I will be damned if I don't take it for joyrides once in a while!
Finally, I gave all of the biomech mods I made a Growth Module, one that would grow along with the dragonling. I would have to periodically inject additional mecha armor particles into this module to keep up with the dragonling's growth, but that was easy for me.
I was very very pleased when I was done with my first masterpiece.
And I was even more pleased that my insane idea worked!!
"Hot damn! Mecha Emperor with millions of Mecha Army, here I come!" I thought to myself as I admired my handiwork.
"I shall name you, Godzilla Dragon." I pronounced solemnly. "But because it is too long, your nickname shall be G-Drake."
"G-Drake greets master." The relatively small but still very big thirty meter long enhanced dragon biomech rumbled loudly.
"Good. Now tell me how to make this Black Pearl recognize me as its master." I immediately got down to business as soon as I finished inspecting my new toy in approval.
I still had the ancient serpentine mecha I absorbed earlier to study and dissect, but it was nowhere as interesting as the Black Pearl.
I wanted the main course first.
"Give the mecha core a single drop of your blood, master. If it is compatible with the core, it would respond." G-Drake said.
I smacked my forehead when I heard those words. Hard.
"I should have known!" I grumbled to myself. "It was exactly how I got Devour in the first place!"
I quickly slit my hand and allowed a drop of my blood to trickle down to the glowing orb.
And as soon as they touched, WHOOSH!!
POOF!!!
Black Pearl broke down into particles and streamed into my body in a small but dense wave of black energy!!
My eyes widened and my mouth opened in pleasure as the red energy in my body started to devour Black Pearl!
Cling!!!
A clear tinkle sounded from somewhere in my body as Devour and Control began to merge together.
And then a feeling that I never wanted to feel ever again swept through my body.
Fshhhhhhhh.
My red energy disappeared without a trace, and Devour turned dormant as it retracted everything to digest Control.
"DAMN IT! WHAT THE HELL???" Came Bruce Pang's angry shout from somewhere in the pile of rare medicine treasures as his exosuit disappeared.
"I just devoured the Black Pearl! Devour is trying to digest it and it suddenly went dormant!" I shouted at him to quickly explain the situation.
"What??? Doesn't that mean that the old man's exosuit is also gone?" Bruce Pang shouted.
"Damn. He's right!" I thought in horror as I looked up at the Blue Dragon which was still unconscious. All of the armor I had placed around it was gone. But I could hear very clearly that his heartbeat was already speeding up slightly.
The old man was losing control of the mental enslavement process!
"Big bro! You got the elixir?" I shouted desperately at him.
"Yes! Running back now!" Came his shout in reply.
"G-Drake! Bring that guy up to your father's head area now!" I ordered.
