The Philosopher Stones (Book 1)

Chapter 32

"THIS is it?" tanong ni Elizabeth habang nakatingin sa isang test tube na puno ng berdeng likido na umuusok pa.

"Yeah. That's it." sagot ni Eriz while removing her laboratory gloves.

Mataman ding nakatitig ang buong PS 6th Generation sa test tube, present silang lahat ngayon sa kagustuhan ng kanilang Priestess.

Nilingon ni Elizabeth ang kanyang mga nasasakupan at ngumiti ng napakatamis, "Hindi ba kayo excited?"

"Not really." walang buhay na saad ni Chryst.

"Why is that Code White?" tanong ni Elizabeth.

"She might not survive."

"We have to try." saad ni Cabe Villarino, the 6th Generation Ideal Stone, "For the betterment of our successors."

"Tama. Mula unang henerasyon hanggang sa kasalukuyan ay hinahabol tayo ng 'The Risk', kaya natin ito ginagawa para sa mga susunod na henerasyon." pagsang-ayon naman ni Code Comedy na si Logan Cabaron.

"So that's why I'm proposing a new Project Title for this Coordinated Project." singit ni Eriz Lil Saint Dela Fuerte sa kanyang mga kaibigan.

"Ano iyon Code Technique?" naiintrigang tugon ni Elizabeth.

"I'm planning to name it . . . PROJECT DAHLIA: THE DESTRUCTIVE ANGEL. An angel by nature yet she can destroy the deadliest enemy of PS, 'The Risk'."

"Hmmnn . . . " napapatangong saad ni Elizabeth, " . . . project name accepted."

DIANA Montes keeps on staring on the green liquid inside a small bottle she's holding thinking, You have the capacity to kill my daughter but at the same time you can save many lives from being doomed., napabuntung-hininga siya at napatingin sa asawang si Diego, "May magagawa ba ako para mabago ang desisyon niyo?"

Kinuha ni Diego ang kamay ng kanyang asawa at masuyo itong hinalikan, "It's for her own benefit Diana. You know her condition. She inherited your incurable disease. Only this vaccine can help her survive."

Napayuko na lamang si Diana. Alam niyang tama ang asawa niya, her daughter has a Marfan Syndrome. An incurable disease that can affect the connective tissues which are responsible for holding the body cells, organs, and tissues together.

"Her Marfan Symptoms will start at the age when yours also started, at the age of 18." pagpapaintindi ni Diego sa asawa.

"H-how about the medicines your giving me? Iyong galing kay Elizabeth? Isn't it enough?" 

Umiling ng marahan ang ginoo saka sinabing, "She's too young Diana. Susuko agad ang katawan niya kapag iyon ang binigay natin. Your Marfan Syndrome is on the extreme stage while her is still acute. Acute but dangerous."

Tumango ang ginang at tiningnan ang mga mata ng kanyang mapagmahal na asawa, "She can do it. Right?"

"Of course . . . " nakangiting tugon ng ginoo habang hinahaplos ang malambot na buhok ng asawa, " . . . she's our baby. She's strong. Ang kaibahan lang naman ng Vaccine na iyan ay nilagyan ito ng kemikal na makakapagpalakas sa kanyang mga cells. Ang killer chemicals na nasa Vaccine na iyan ay malakas ang epekto kaya kailangan niya ng counter chemicals para malabanan ang sakit. Then . . . " he paused for awhile para haplusin ang mukha ni Diana, " . . . Eriz discovered that if Dahlia will be able to survive this, ang magiging epekto ng counter chemicals  sa katawan niya ay magiging kakaiba."

Nagtatanong ang mga mata ni Diana saka sinabing, "Kakaiba? Anong ibig mong sabihin?"

"The effect of the counter chemicals will be superb. She'll have an excellent Immune System and she'll produce a lot of White Blood Cells and it's almost unstoppable. The WBCs are responsible for our wound healing and our Immune System's function is to prevent us from having disease. This means—"
