Akram could hardly believe his eyes. What Nezra had just created using his own work was the very last thing he wanted to see emerge in this world. At least, not yet. Not now.
Nezra was indeed working on a prototype she had previously shown Akram.

"N-Nezra… What did you use to create this..?"
"Huh? You didn't read everything in my plans, did you? Hehe… Well, I used charcoal, the sulfur you were hiding under your workbench, and nitrate! I figured adding sulfur was a good idea…"
"And it created this ultra-powerful explosive powder! Way stronger than what's in your prosthetic! I thought it could make a great projectile launcher for the turrets!"
"And… for the weapon?"
