Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

Sofia came back fairly quickly while I talked to the other four and took Terri and Teresa to their floors. Once it was just me and the last four, I turned back to everyone.

"Alright, so Mike, Binder, Jack, and Chiba Hinata… Hinata, right?" I asked, and the taller Japanese woman with blacking hair nodded a few times.

"Hai!" The woman said nervously with an uneasy smile.

"Hello… no, wait, that was yes, not hi. Is your English not very good?" I asked, and she nodded.

"Yes, sorry. I am nervous… I don't understand what you say or laugh…." Hinata said slowly, and I nodded.

"Let me see your hand, and I will make it so you can understand," I said, and Hinata slowly reached her hand forward, but I could tell she was still nervous about things.

I waited until she took my hand, but when she did, I took a deep breath as I started to use Sofia's ability to connect to Hinata's body. The small vines grew like thorns, applying a concentrated numbing agent so there was no pain.

The next part was putting my Memory Gem in place on my forehead. I had gotten this from learning to use Anya's abilities, but I have been using it for things other than recording. The Red Gems had the ability to transfer information that I knew to other people via a telepathic link. I used it now to transfer everything I had learned about the English language to Hinata, and she went wide open.

"How can you just make me understand?! I can even understand the stuff that you said before!" Hinata exclaimed, not letting go of my hand.

I have also lowered her stress levels, and now I retracted my small vines. There was no point in making this awkward If I could help avoid it.

"Good, now, if you understand what I said before, can you tell me a bit more about yourself and your talent?" I asked. "My abilities can only be seen in the basic."

"Yes! Now that I can understand you, this will be much easier. I was very nervous about all of this when Miss Sofia asked me to start reading. I just came to Canada recently with my family, but I have a degree in Advanced Kinetic Weapons. I specialize in theoretical Railguns, or we just hadn't finished building it yet, and there was the matter of getting it into space. Then the program was shut down due to funding cuts in a bunch of divisions. I brought my parents with me here to find something new, but we just moved here," Hinata explained, and I nodded.

"Are your parents okay?" I asked.

"Yes, thank you for asking! They are very good and really enjoy living in the trees. Both of them are avid readers but were trying to find jobs when we came here. Now they spend most of their time in the Library Great Tree. That place is really amazing! I wonder if you could do something like this for my parents? They would love to be able to read more books, and you don't have many in kanji," Hinata explained.

"I personally might not be able to, but I can ask Anya to do it. We will set up two days a week where we teach different languages to those that want to learn, but it will mostly be to get everyone to speak English. It is not like I have a problem with the other languages, but English is the best if I can just teach it like this," I explained.

"Yes! This is truly amazing. It's like I have always known how to speak like this!" Hinata laughed softly, putting a hand to her mouth, and I scanned her body.

"So, I am going to start with your System now. Give me a moment, and you are going to briefly flash with light," I explained, and Hinata nodded.

I opened up my System, and the first thing that came up was a Sentry System. It would allow her to create turret platforms with kinetic weapons, but it was restricted to the ground. We already had lots of things that would be on the ground.

The next was the Kinetic System, but this one was way off target, even if it was pretty cool. It allowed the Host to absorb kinetic energy and then release it. It was good enough that I stored it and started with another, spinning it again.

This time we hit paydirt. Orbit Firing System.

[Name: Chiba Hinata]

[Race: Asian(Japanese)]

[Talent: Kinetic Weapons]

[System: Orbital Firing System]

[System Description: Create blueprints and designs for orbital platforms and stationary installments for massive Railgun turrets.]

"This is amazing!" Hinata exclaimed as she looked herself over.

The first thing I noticed was the large military boots with a small heel and a wide toe box. They were olive green, and the sole was smoky grey. The pants were flat fronted with a simple waistband and had cuffed bottoms that ended just above the boot.

The shirt was a deep green and had a collar that came up to just below the chin. There were no buttons, and it fits snugly against the body. The sleeves were long and ended in fitted cuffs.

The whole outfit had several pockets, and it looked like it was meant for a woman of action. The final touch was a dark green beret with a silver pin in the shape of a maple leaf.

"This is the Orbit Firing System. It allows the Host to fire kinetic weapons into space, but it has a limited range of fifteen thousand miles. The longer the range, the more energy it takes. The system comes with a standard pistol for some reason, but it can be upgraded with different weapons," I explained, and Hinata nodded with a smile and stepped back. "Alright, then the next one is Mike Hunt!"

"Do you really need to say my full name every time?" Mike Hunt asked.

"With every fiber of my soul! I swear, your parents are some real big assholes to give you that name, but I love it!" I laughed. "Now, let's see what you got!"

MY system pulled up Mike Hunt's scan, and I started to flip through the systems. He was an Aviation Mechanic, so I was looking to get something that could help him build, fix, and repair planes of all kinds.

The light flashed, and Mike Hunt was in a similar outfit to Hinata, but the color scheme was a lighter blue and brown. His boots were brown, and the pants were a lighter gray, almost white. His shirt was light blue, and the beret was brown.

[Name: Mike Hunt]

[Race: Caucasian(Canadian)]

[Talent: Aviation Mechanic]

[System: Gravi-Jet System]

[System Description: The ability to create, control, and repair Gravity propelled air and spacecraft.]

"This is the Gravi-Jet System. It allows the Host to control, create and fix Gravity flown aircraft," I explained, and Mike nodded.

"So, I can control things like metal and stuff?" Mike asked.

"Sort of, but not really; you can just direct materials to do specific things to make and fix the vehicles. You can also use it to fly, but it takes a lot of energy. The system also has a passive ability that will allow the Host to absorb… Dark Matter, and store it for later use. The system can also be used to create force fields and shields," I explained.

"This is awesome! I feel like I can do anything!" Mike exclaimed.

"Just be careful. These abilities can be very dangerous if used improperly, and I have no idea what Dark Matter is, so I would like for you to wait before you do anything with that. I will try to get someone to look into it or get a specialist," I explained.

"I understand. I'll be careful," Mike said. "Do you have a place for me to go test these things out?"

"Yes, but you will have to wait for Sofia to get back. She is in charge of that stuff," I explained, and Mike nodded.

"I'll wait. Thanks for the system," Mike said.

"No problem, and welcome to the family," I said, and Mike smiled.

"Just call me Mike from now on," He said, and I gave him a childishly disappointed look.

"What?! Mike, I thought we were friends! Are you going to take this from me? I mean, I get it, but I rarely get such a kick out of this, but if you really don't like it, I won't say your full name," I chuckled, and Mike sighed.

"Fine, not like you are the first person to call me this, and you won't be the last," Mike Hunt groaned.

"That's the spirit! All right, we have only what? Two left? Binder and Jack, get up here, and let's wrap this up so you can all get to explore your new abilities!" I laughed, and everyone grinned.

Soon I would be done, and then Hentia Poison Ivy was all mine!
