“Beta testing is ready to begin Doctor Biggles,” Doctor Forbes proudly waved his arms like a game show person cheerfully displaying the product.

The blonde vet nodded in approval. “Did we have to amputate all the limbs and replace them though?”

“Yes,” he solemnly replied, “it seemed as though the gangrene was intentionally placed on specific spots to warrant amputation.”

“Bastards,” she sneered and hit the nearby cart with her fist.

Forbes continued, “Don’t worry. I have given it top of the line equipment: extensive-retractable double jointed maneuverability limbs, 40,000 pound per square inch grip in hands and feet, virtual reality display, ultra sonic, infrared, and radar detectors, a quartz memory database, 1.7 Gigohertz CPU, fiber optic processors, sign language translation protocols per your specifications, and a partridge in a pear tree. I could go on, but there are loads of little surprises I put into the cybernetics.”

“Good, at least that nature wench will leave us alone once we’ve done her dirty work. The poor creature didn’t deserve what happened,” Biggles caressed the synthetic skin covering the cybernetic arm.

Forbes nodded in agreement, “Yes, but we will learn if all this work will be worth it. We have no idea what that Ecological terrorist is going to use this cybernetic gorilla against.”

“Speak of the devil” the female vet wished for once she had the a shotgun in hand.

The antelope morphed into a male figure as the horns on his head seemed to emulate the Norse Aesir Loki.

“The very ground speaks to us, and told us of the completion of Beta testing on your part. Now, it is our turn. Testing must be done to ensure you have fulfilled your end.”

“Well, I have a few more glitches in the system that I need to correct. Your cybernetic gorilla, or Super-Ape or whatever, will be ready within the hour,” Doctor Forbes announced.

“I can bide my time for now,” the Fertile Crescent male intently watched Doctor Forbes as he made the modifications.

Biggles paced around the room as she decided to give the Fertile Crescent denizen the third degree. “I don’t suppose you’ll tell us why you chose a creature of nature.”

“There is a war which you can not hope to comprehend. A war which will only mean the destruction of our land. We once chose a human to stand for our ideals, but he soon went back to his old ways. It is now the territorial instinct of an animal that will suit us best.”

The entity produced an apple seemingly out of thin air and began to eat it.

“So, what kind of test are you planning to use?” she continued to ignore the annoyed stare of the disciple of the emerald empire.

“The Super-Ape as you call it must face the four elements of the Earth given life. If it cannot survive the elements, it would not survive the denizens of Heaven or Hell.”

Biggles gave a curious look.

“Heaven and Hell?”

“As I stated, it is out of your realm of thought. And, not quite anything like you see at the Dimensional Reality Theaters,” the entity threw the core of the apple on the floor as it melted right before the Doctors’ eyes.

“Neat parlor trick, but I’ve seen a lot better,” Biggles looked at Forbes with an impatience glance.

Forbes seemed to pick up the pace a bit, as the entity stared out into empty space. Biggles continued to pace the floor, as she was trying to comprehend what the raving revenant of nature she had stated. There was always the standard ecological battle going on in the here and now, but she saw little point of it in the afterlife.

There was no true hallowed ground to wage over in either Heaven or Hell. Then, she realized the answer was there in front of her face.

“So, I guess you’re nothing more than a combination of overactive imaginations of humans and creatures alike. Most of us on this planet have some percentage of the brain that’s not being used. I’m assuming you make up for at least some if it.”

The entity turned to Biggles as he sneered.

“I may have been a little too hasty in my judgement. Your theory is as you say… shit, but you are on the right track. As I said, it is something that you can not comprehend. Now Forbes, I trust you are done.”

“Yes, modifications are complete,” Forbes released the manacles and helped the Super-Ape down.

The Super-Ape spotted Forbes and Biggles and gave a cheerful hoot. It had been fixed again by the pair, and hopefully it would not have to come in again. Then, the Super-Ape looked at the other and it was as though a floodgate had been opened to release all the memories.

The Greyback made a motion with its right hand. As it did so, the fiber optic processors accessed information from the quart database. The CPU instantaneously came up with the best translation for what the Super-Ape was trying to sign.

Jerk-off.”

“I guess there might be still a couple bugs left,” Forbes winked at Biggles.

The entity just stared at the Super-Ape for a moment.

“Do not be so bold. You are part of us now.”

The gorilla flashed yet another brilliant array of signs.

,” the computer voice droned.

Biggles patted Forbes on the shoulder.

“It’s amazing how the Super-Ape doesn’t react to the voice like some demon that’s possessed it. I think you’ve outdone yourself this time.”

“Actually, it’s a simple trick. The CPU activates neurons in the mind, and makes the Super-Ape think it is giving its normal hoots and hollers,” Forbes proudly beamed at his accomplishment.

The entity stared at the Greyback for a moment. The creature’s cybernetic arm was raised and smacked the animal in the face.

?” the computer voice droned for the ape.

The Fertile Crescent entity smiled.

“The very metal which was made to fix you is part of us, part of our territory. We can control this as we see fit. So whether you like it or not, you will do as told.”

You have no control over me,” the voice boasted.

The man simply smiled.

“The silicon created for your central processing unit is a part of nature. It does not matter if man has reshaped it to fit his needs.”

For emphasis, the Greyback fell to the floor and began to convulse with seizures. The entity ignored the stares of Biggles and Forbes, as he allowed the Super-Ape to reassert control.

What happened buy The Omega Man ?”

The GreenWorlder put a hand on the ape’s chin and raised its face to meet his.

“I did. Now, you must endure our test. Or, suffer more dire consequences.”

Biggles and Forbes prepared for whatever journey lay ahead. The entity took note and stopped them from proceeding.

“You are not essential to this task. You are to stay here and await further instruction.”

Biggles and Jones looked at each then at the entity.

“Further instruction?” they chimed in unison.

The other did not elaborate on his meaning, and escorted the gorilla out of the veterinary clinic.

Anthology Two Presents…
Super-Ape:
“Weathering the Elements”
by Karl V.

The plains stretched out into a horizon of nothing but towering tropical trees. The long grass tickled the fur on the knees of the Super-Ape. The gorilla took note of another antelope appearing from what seemed out of the ground itself.

As it transformed into a feminine human form, it raised its hands to the air. A gust of wind shifted and made itself into a partly visible specter. She next pointed to the ground, as the earth that was moved took the form of a skinny rock monster. She turned up her hands as though to summon something deep within the Earth itself. A fiery form bursted forth from the hole in the ground, as it took on an apparition appearance similar to its airy brother. Again, the Fertile Crescent entity pointed to the heavens as a dark thunder cloud poured its being into another form. This one a spindly watery sprite.

The new entity spoke.

“These are the four forms of Nature given life. To survive this test, you must be at harmony with yourself.”

Super-Ape picked at its fur, to rid itself of the new fleas that began to make lunch of its life blood. It returned the favor by eating any that it got off its skin. The new entity simply pointed at Super-Ape as the four Elements began their attack.

First, Air created a vacuum beneath Super-Ape’s feet as the gorilla was literally sucked to the ground. Next, Earth opened a hole big enough for Super-Ape to fall into, and closed it on the creature.

Fire joined in the fray as it heated the ground surrounding Super-Ape thereby creating a natural oven.

Finally, Water added its own deluge of pain by creating a stream of water which forced Super-Ape right back out of the ground. The Four Elements stared as a shiny metal orb landed to the ground. Then, all the metal became lined as it resembled a huge soccer ball. As the lines continued to form, the plates began to move and shift into each other slowly revealing the ape within the shell.

Computer Directive: Initiate Alpha Brain Wave pattern. Assume full motor and processing controls. Evaluate and Assess current situation. Analyze statement by subject designated GW4 for any variance of definitions.

The animal took on a whole new demeanor. Its eyes analyzed everything about the Four Elemental Beings. The Four were taken aback for a moment, and then gave each other a nod. They knew this was Super-Ape’s ace in the hole, now it was time for theirs.

Fire shot forth a stream of cold dry ice onto the gorilla’s chest.

Super-Ape’s body flinched in agony, as its CPU was expecting a flaming red inferno and therefore setting the infrared to put up the armor over a certain degree of Celsius. The great beast’s mind trapped in the waking nightmare wanted to flee from the pain. The CPU instantly added this new equation to its fold, hopefully protecting its host more efficiently and not causing as many anomalies to its alpha pattern.

Super-Ape immediately put up protective chest armor, as the addition of nanotech acted to quickly heal the frigid burn dealt by the Elemental, while the beast’s mind wandered playfully to that of the female pink skin that helped heal it. The CPU figured out a method to quickly eliminate three of the Elemental foes.

Fire and Water dived at Super-Ape, as it dodged and made the two collide. The two passed each other, as Water turned into steam. The condensation reformed into Water, as Fire looked over its dazed comrade. Fire and Water simply shook their heads as they continued to chase the possessed Super-Ape. The beast still had nightmares cursing its forced sleep as it evaded the pink troll-like predators.

Earth was waiting for the herded Super-Ape, as it slammed a small rocky fist into its chest armor . It was forced back as Air created another vacuum which double the force of the throw.

Super-Ape landed with a Judo master’s precision, as it quickly got up from the blow with little damage done besides a dent in its armor. It noticed the trio of Fire, Water, and Earth chasing it as Air stood by for another possible set up. It activated its two spring loaded feet, as it landed right on top of Earth. Earth quickly shifted form into that of sand.

As Super-Ape sank up to its waist, Fire and Water smiled at the opportunity of free shots. As they neared within a foot of the Greyback, it activated its jet rockets at full power.

As it was lifted into the sky, Super-Ape’s arm changed into a big cannon like attachment. It aimed at Fire, who scoffed at the device. Super-Ape fired a load of sand at Fire, who let it simply burn up by increasing its intensity. It took the opportune moment and fired a shot of dry ice from the attachment.

Fire dived to avoid the vaporizing missile as it looked down and realized what it had done too late. Earth was still in its sand form, obviously shaken for the resounding noise created by the rockets. Fire and Earth collided as the sand was super heated.

Water wanted revenge for this infraction upon its Elemental brothers as it charged Super-Ape. The CPU changed its other arm into a small blender like shape. It lowered the blender attachment into the superheated sand and proceeded to mix. Meanwhile, it activated the other attachment and simply sucked the Water elemental into the cannon. As the sand turned into glass, Super-Ape applied the Water elemental to cool it down. As Water started to reform, the gorilla shaped the large glass around the orb like mist. The slumbering primordial mind imagined falling from a tree, its arm breaking with a snap, as it laid howling in pain.

Meanwhile, the CPU motivated Super-Ape proudly produced a veritable genie in a bottle, as the beast simply laid the unique artifact on it’s side.

,” the CPU boasted per program parameters, as it was forgetful of the last Elemental.

Air created a vacuum surrounding the area around Super-Ape.

The CPU quickly put armor stored inside the cybernetics around the rest of the gorilla’s body and a clear bubble over its head, as it was made to look like a veritable astronaut.

Air sneered and let the atmosphere back into the area. The forced implosion of air made the armor almost buckle from the strain. Air created more vacuums acting like fists for the ethereal Elemental.

Super-Ape reeled back from the blows, although the armor still continued to hold. Its CPU still acted for the brutish simple mind that its host had, but it quickly assessed that Air’s actions were primal.

Re-activate brain wave patterns to normal parameters. Manual control of outer extremities re-engaged.

Super-Ape looked dazed for a moment, as though it had been rudely woken up from a peaceful slumber. It noticed the unique clothes around it, and didn’t care much for them.

It was hit with a whip of air, as Super-Ape snorted in pain. It looked to see its enemy, as it looked like nothing more than a barely visible outline. It figured it was a pink skin predator, who was attempting to pummel it to death with its bare fists.

Super-Ape reacted with a rage as it swiped at the supposed rival revenant. Air was trying to keep itself together as the beast’s fists constantly made its form go every which way. Air tired of the intrusion upon its person and created a vacuum to send the gorilla back.

Super-Ape easily got up from the fall as the natural hone instincts of an experienced fighter resided within the beast. It quickly noticed its surroundings as open plains, and it would do better to be lost in the trees than be dead. It gave a last snort and bounded toward the closest patch of forest. Air reacted with more of it airlessness attacks, as it kept Super-Ape from going anywhere near its intended destination.

Super-Ape attempted a variety of patterns, before it realized what Air was doing. Its simple mind told it to repeat a pattern as it would repeat footsteps on the jungle ground to confuse enemies. Air was shocked as Super-Ape used one of its vacuums to send itself hurling to the foliage it so desired.

Air gave hesitant chase, as it kept a very close Elemental eye on the beast.

Super-Ape reached the trees before Air, as Air used another vacuum to pull the beast from the trees.

Super-Ape’s primitive mind easily equated Air’s dislike for heights, as it persisted to go into the tallest, biggest trees for cover. As the constant game of Cat and Mouse played out, Air became weary of the struggle. It gave up the chase as it met a big black bulge blocking its way. Soon, it realized what that bulge was.

Super-Ape breathed in deeply through its nose, as what was left of Air was processed through the beast’s lungs.

The Greyback, finally content that the pink skinned camouflaged hunter had given up its pursuit, ambled down the trees.

The Fertile Crescent entity approached Super-Ape with an impressed gaze.

“You do well for a creature of instinct. These trees need to breath as much as you do. It was only a matter of time before Air was split into so many fractions it no longer could keep together.”

Super-Ape simply plucked at an insect on the ground and promptly ate it. The CPU activated the voice.

Thank you for the kind compliment.”

“Forbes has married the technology of the ground with the primitive mind very well. I will inform him of his success.”

The entity began to escort Super-Ape back to the lab.
