“Care to explain why the hell you didn’t break? For I don’t know.. FUCKED SITUATIONS like this one.” Dusk asked sarcastically as he glared at Bluebelle. Bluebelle just winced.
“We can’t.” said Bluebelle as they were directed into a cave.
“There’s always away.” Dusk said.
“You can’t. I can.” Bluebelle said.
“WHY HAVEN’T YOU THEN!!?” asked Dusk as his gaze burned it's way further into Bluebelle soul.
“I will not,” Bluebelle sighed, “It's the last thing that I need.”
“Why?” asked Dusk.
“Well artifacts like that need one more component to work,” sighed Bluebelle, “They need an exchange. The exchange was...” They were being led to a part in the cave where the vault lit there way to the entrance.
As they entered they noticed that there were a lot more than they anticipated. The biggest by far was sitting in the middle of the cave. That’s when they noticed the artifact in the middle of the monster. The monster was serpent like. It was probably the size of a two story home. It's were all black except for a white iris. Its mouth was laced with venom. The scales were hexagonal shaped. It was a faded gold color. It's teeth were black as the darkest shadow. It's underbelly was a faded silver. Whatever it is it had been here a long time.
“Welcome Bluebelle.” the voice echoed through the cave. It was the most unsettling thing they had ever heard. “We’ve been waiting for you for fucking ever.” it said with a evil grin.
“Project 16?” Bluebelle asked with a scared look on her face.
“The one and only,” Project 16 said, “Like the upgrade. It's better than what I was when you dismantled me the last time we met.”
“How could this be?” Bluebelle said, “I fucking ripped you to shreds.”
“You couldn’t kill me... Sister.” said the monstrosity. “You know I was bound to the Vault.”
“Wait did that thing just call you sister?” asked Dusk.
“Oh yes cause you see I was built by her and fueled by her,” said Project 16, “Along time ago I was built at the tipping part in the great war to control this newly forged vault. 15 failures and I was the success, thanks to Bluebelle over there. I can’t execute her for what she did to me because I would die and I guess she would too, but there are worse fates than death. I was excellent at my job. Which was killing. Once the great war was over, I changed. Nothing left to kill I was a machine with no purpose. I was known for the slaughter in Manehattan. After that I turned my sights towards my creator’s home. I was interrupted by my creator. She used her magic to rip me to shreds. She took the vault and hid it from the rest of the world. She was late though. She may have suppressed me, but I got 500 souls on her conscience.”
“Dusk we need to leave, Now.” Bluebelle said.
“How? We’re surrounded.” asked Dusk
“I can hold the spell long enough for us to escape.” she admitted.
“You have the worst timing don’t you.” said Dusk.
“No I had to locate the vault. So on three. One. Two. Three.” Bluebelle announced.
“Get them.” Project 16 said. They made a break for it. They ran fast. The abominations that were close disintegrated if they gotten to close. Once outside, Dusk casted a teleportation spell, and they were out of there.
“FUCK!!” Project 16 yelled, “They know of my existence. We need to mobilize for war now, Equestria welcome to hell.”
Solaris Castle...
“POOF”
Solaris was sitting on his throne when he was startled by the sudden appearance of Dusk and Bluebelle.
“So how was the mission? Did you locate the vault?” asked Solaris.
“Uncle we found it.” Bluebelle said shakily. “We also came across some bad news.”
“What is niece?” asked Solaris in almost annoyed tone.
“We were attacked by... Project 16.” said Bluebelle shivering.
“How? You destroyed its body didn’t you?” asked Solaris.
“Apparently the vault manifested a new body for its entity.” said Dusk.
“In other words it's back, and it has an army.” said Bluebelle still shivering.
Noticing the discomfort his niece must be experiencing “Dusk. Bluebelle. Good work we will handle this from here now. Go on with your days.” said Solaris in a soft tone. As they walked out they were greeted by Spines.
“Oh, hi Spines.” said Dusk. Bluebelle didn’t answer still shivering that her abomination still lives.
“What’s wrong with her?” Spines asked Dusk looking at Bluebelle.
“ I don’t know actually. Hey Bluebelle snap out of it please.” said Dusk. Bluebelle shook her head as she looked around for any signs of her “sibling”.
“I have a question what was it that you exchanged to that artifact?” asked Dusk.
“M-My life’s-s Ess-ence.” Bluebelle said shakily.
“Why?” asked Spines.
“It's the single most strongest thing in all of equestria. Stronger than magic and love combine so to make the vault strong I sacrificed it for the greater good.” said Bluebelle as she left them.
“Where are you going?” asked Dusk.
“To do my job.” said Bluebelle coldly.
“We aren’t suppose to do anything.” said Dusk.
“Fuck that shit. I’m helping. My creation. My responsibility.” she said turning the corner.
“That mare is going to kill herself trying to help.” said Dusk. Spines had a twisted smile on her face.”What?” asked Dusk.
“Why are you so worried about her?” asked Spines.
“Ohh fuck off I’m not in love with her.” Dusk said.
“Then why are you so sweaty. Before you say it is because you ran. It has been enough time to cool down, and b you’re not afraid of that thing. Hmmm” she said annoyingly.
“Fine you caught me. So what happens now.” said Dusk.
“Knew it. Anyways go help her out. That’s a start.” said Spines.
“Ugh. Fine but what about our evening together.” said Dusk.
“I’ll be fine I’ll go hang out with Tempo and Gleaming Shield, they won’t mind.”said Spines as she left. As Dusk nodded his head he ran after Bluebelle.
