//------------------------------// // Wunderwaffe // Story: Nazi's on the dark side of the Nightmare Moon // by rocketlvr //------------------------------// The scientists stood slack jawed in front of the creature as it glared menacingly back. Dr. Schuster remembered that he had left his "Welcome" speech in his office. "Schiesse, Hartmann grab the speech, grab the speech!" he whispered in panicked anger. A well shaven, and clean cut scientist darted into his office and seconds later came scrambling out with a sheet of paper. He dashed it over to Schuster, who smacked him, and shooed him away. Fiddling with the paper, he now looked up at the creature and cleared his throat. Looking up into the creatures reptilian eyes he experienced immense fear. Nevertheless, he persevered and continued. "Greetings from The Great Chancellor, and Fuhrer; Adolf Hitler, It is on this day of June 30th, 1942, that we welcome you to the glorious and powerful nation of Germany. The reason that we have awoken you, Oh Great and Powerful one, is that we are engaged with a world wide conflict, the likes of which have never been seen before. And we would hope to make a cordial address for assistance in our cause." The monster stared down at the shaking German. "And what cause is that?" Schuster jumped at being addressed. "We wish to assure our nation's dominance across the globe, along with our allies to the South and East, which are the nations of Italy and Japan, respectively. And that we may establish a race of supermen who will rule the world in peace harmony and prosperity for hopefully all time. We have many maps, and the finest professors of our country who may explain to your greatness any of these issues which may not be clear, and....." "ENOUGH!!!" The creature bellowed causing all in the room to recoil. "I do not care for your nations history, nor your allies. However, I must ask you three questions and my assistance shall be yours." Schuster stuttered "Absolutely, any question you have I will answer to the best of my abilities" "Very well. Firstly, do your people fear me?" Schuster paused "uhhhh... We do believe most will be taken aback by you, but we hope within time they will grow to appreciate your presence." Nightmare Moon cocked an eyebrow. "Most unusual, but I must say I'd hoped to be feared, no matter. The next two questions shall determine your fate." All the people in the room, shuddered. "Secondly, Will they respect me?" Schuster jumped to on the question, perhaps a little too quickly. "Yes of course, your highness. The Fuhrer deems you good, and reputable. If he says it is good, than the rest of Germany shall agree it is good." "Excellent. And lastly....." She paused. "Are your nations people willing to kill for your goal?" The Doctor was surprised. Perhaps world wide conflict did not have the same meaning as war did for this Beast. Germany had been fighting for nearly 4 years at this point, crushing dozens of weaker nations under its feet. Not to mention Operation Reinhard being recently started, which created the concentration camps now preparing for the extermination of an entire race of people. "Why of course, we Germans are prepared to do anything for victory." The creature paused. "Most Excellent... very well. All my abilities are at your disposal." The room was shocked. No one had expected it to be so easy, part of the reason for establishing the concentration camps was to prepare a massive human sacrifice unlike any other. Perhaps, it would now just be easier to allow the Jews to be released into some other country, like the Soviet Union, to burden their economy. The immensely fat general pudged himself out of the observation room. He was now surprisingly composed. "That is most excellent news! I have much to discuss with you then your majesty." He turned to Dr. Schuster "Herr Schuster, you should return home, and get some rest. You have done your Fatherland proud." Clearing his throat he addressed the room. "EVERYONE! EXCELLENT WORK, ALL MAY RETURN HOME AND RELAX EXCEPT FOR MAINTENANCE CREWS NECESSARY FOR THE UPKEEP OF THE MDT!" He turned to a young SS bodyguard "Sgt. Heydrich, relay to Berlin that the operation was a success, and that Operation Reinhard will no longer be necessary. We will discuss logistics later." "Jawol!" With a hearty salute the young man marched off to a comms room to radio command of the news. The fat General once again addressed the creature. "Would you be so kind as to follow me sir? We have created a room specifically for you." "Certainly, And do not address me as Sir, For I am Nightmare Moon! Queen, not King, of the night." "Of Course ma'am, my apologies." The General looked puzzled but merely shrugged and puffed his way to the luxurious room specifically created for the root of all evil. Housed solidly under 100 feet of concrete deep in the ground. As soon as the door was closed, an SS commanding officer began to bark orders and scream at the room. "EVERYONE OUT! WE HAVE BUSINESS TO ATTEND TO! you will be contacted later from your respective temporary homes in Berlin." The SS Guards began to shove all the scientists (Apart from the aforementioned maintenance teams) into the cargo elevator and back out into the world above. The last look that Schuster got of his laboratory was of a flurry of people and the cooling of machines. He sat down on the grated floor of the elevator and pondered his life. Many others were silent, some cried, and a few others were happily talking a chatting as if a highly complex experiment had succeeded. Dr Schuster huffed at the thought. His work was his life. Morality during working hours never existed, but now that it was over he felt the weight of his actions. This whole idea had been his virtual child for the past ten years. Nearly rivaling but never surpassing his own real child in importance. However, unlike his real child. He feared that this one might have been a mistake. Only now did he realize the significance of what he had done.
