Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

Chapter 276 - Circled Around, Just Wanted To Get Out

"Well, we will try right now since you have the time. Everything works on thought here, so doing something is as easy as believing you can and doing it. This will seem confusing until you get your memories back. You will be able to do this in your sleep, literally," Harold explained to me, and I nodded my head.

While it did sound a bit wild, I had already experienced how creating things works here when I was on the beach. That was when I had confronted Helsin Zero and then tossed him out of my mind.

"So, does this mean that you want me to do it?" I asked with a strained expression, but I relaxed when Harold shook his head no.

"I will separate them, but you and Wataluga need to contain the Dark Energy. You will have to put it on the top of the cylinders and seal it inside. Just remember that this is different from using your powers on Hydrocus," Harold told me, and I understood what he meant.

"Okay, I get what you mean," I said as Wataluga walked up beside me.

"We just need to create a prison out of the water and then quickly transfer it over. You contain it, and I will control the transfer over, but you will have to seal it with a completed glass dome. I don't have control over this place, so you have to do this part," Wataluga explained to me.

I nodded, and the three of us circled around Maelstrom, but I still really didn't understand what was even going to happen. I watched as Harold concentrated on Maelstrom, and nothing happened at first.

Then Maelstrom's head pulled apart as their arms grabbed at their throat. I went to move forward, but both Harold and Wataluga put their hands up to stop me, and I finally noticed that Wataluga was concentrating on Maelstrom as well.

"Just get a prison ready, and be prepared," Wataluga said to me, as Maelstroms three heads let out wordless screams.

I prepared a whirling cocoon of water about the size of the one I was being guided through right now outside of my head. I prepared a small gap to catch the Dark Energy as I watched the Elemetal torn into three.

One head was clearly female, and I was pretty sure the other was a man, but I wasn't going to make any assumptions. The last face was distorted whirling darkness that was slowly peeling over apart from the other two that were also separating.

"NOW!" Harold yelled at me, but I could see what was happening.

The moment the energy separated, I snatched it up, but then a fight started.

My mind began to strain as I condensed the prison, increasing the pressure of the oval sphere. I started to add more layers trying to restrain the far stronger energy than I could have ever anticipated.

The other two were already inside the tanks, but Wataluga wasn't moving the cocoon.

"Do you want to hurry up and get it in there?" I asked with gritted teeth.

I kept slamming more layers and adding more pressure, but I was in a stalemate. The Dark Energy tore through the shielding that I was trying to create just as fast as I could create it.

"Calm down, and relax. Remember, this is inside your head, and you have control of this place. This is not like out there, so relax, and stop trying to do things so one dimensional. Look, try to think of this like containing gas; water can't really do it, but water can also become a gas, right?"

Wataluga's explanation helped me, and suddenly I was able to grasp what they had actually meant before we started. I instantly froze the cocoon, and the fight was over; all stress that I had perceived was gone, the sweat, the pressure.

Wataluga grabbed the last cocoon with water ropes, lifted it, then lowered the massive frozen cocoon into the glass cylinder. When he was done, I started to concentrate on the top of each of the glass tubes.

"Remember to make them all one piece so there is no way that they can get out. Even though I am sure that the other two will be fine, better safe than sorry. I just want to make sure that they are alright before we set them free in your mind," Harold explained, and I nodded as I made the glass grow up into a spherical top to seal all three cylinders.

Once it was finished, I turned back to Harold and asked, "So, now what?"

"Nothing, we will leave them for now, and we will monitor them. Once we are ready to try breeding them, I will let you know," Harold told me, but I shook my head no.

"No thanks, just tell me when you have some results. I trust you to make your choices in my best interest since it is in yours," I said, and Harold grinned back at me.

"Yes, that is true. You should get out front, you are getting closer to the destination, and now we are getting a better reading of what is going on inside. You might want to go take a look, and I will join you out there soon," Harold told me and then turned back to the cylinders where the three parts of Maelstrom were being stored.

I turned and left the room, but I was curious about what was going to happen with this project, but also about Maelstrom. I wondered what would happen to the other two now and how this was going to affect Mex.

I left the lab and headed back down the metal panel hallway to the main operation bridge of my mind. I just wanted to get out of the swarming bugs and get down to the center of this place so I could get to the other places on the island.

There was no way I was going to be camping with these bugs tonight!
