//------------------------------// // Science at 100%! // Story: Dawn’s Break // by Chemtest //------------------------------// (Raven) Me and Slendy rest on a train to Fillydelphia, the second largest city. Only surpassed by Mareyland. Within this is the Head Researcher and his base. I look over to Slendy, and see him meditateing. I hold all conversation until we reach our location. ——— The train comes to an almost instant stop, and we quickly get off. Slendy rushes off to a trashcan, and vomits inside. He comes stumbling over to me, “Motion sick?” He shudders, “I cannot stand technology like that! As one who lives in a forest, I get sick when I’m on things like trains.” We walk out the station, “So, your like a spirit of forests?” He shakes his head, “Not a spirit, but something like that. Only because of my meditation could I stand being on there. There’s a reason why I always jam things like computers and flashlights, they make me sick now. Being on recording is the worst of the bunch.” “Must suck.” “Not like there’s much technology in my world anyway.” —(Slendy)— Me and Raven manage our way through the packed city, hamming it up all the while. Luckily, with my size, most got out of our way. Surprisingly little pay much attention to us. Those that do try and take pictures, only to be confused when they come out bad. Idiot paparazzi and news reporters. Can’t even caputure my bad side. We manage to find the building. A giant lab, white, and sterile. But I can taste faint traces of something in the air. Something... corrupted, yet familiar. Something like... Sigma Yeah, bet you didn’t think about the Sigma on that guards body, eh? This is the closest lab, so they would research it here. Slender, why did you not tell me before? Me and Death were a bit... ‘busy’ if you catch my drift. God dammit Slender... Hey, not my fault you got chosen for this. Just thought I’d lighten up the mood a little bit. Why do I need the mood to be light? With what’s comeing, you have to be as lighthearted as possible. So you will be able to help. And what is comeing, Slender? Because it seems you know a whole hell of a lot more than me. I cannot tell you more. Why? I wish that I could, but I litterly cannot. It is beyond even me to say. All we can say is that the time is comeing. What time?! Why is it not here when you said it before?! Realise this and it will make more sense. Time as you experience it now is but a moment to every other universe. So when I say the time has come, I mean it. I just have a higher view of time because I am Elderich. The time has come, is comeing, and is happening at the same time. You know what, I’m just going to do my job now. Okay. I turn and look at Raven, “I want you to wait outside, just in case. I will teleport in and find the Head.” He nods, “I will prepare some skeletons just in case.” I nod back, “Good. I will set off now.” “Good luck.” I scan the building for the specific one I’m hunting, and find him alone in an office. I teleport in, and see him head down on his desk and shakeing badly. He is a cream colored unicorn, and wears a lab coat. I fear he is going through a seizure, and poke him with a tentical. He pops up and looks around like a mad man, “Who’s there?! Officer, if you here, then I’m sorry! We didn’t know it would happen!” The worst part of it was his eyes. Bloodshot, and tired. Obviously been crying, and not been sleeping in a while, “You are the Head?” He locks his eyes onto me, “You! Show me your tentacles!” I humor that madman, and show him my tentacles, “Why?” He grabs one and intently studies it. He specificly touches his hoof to one, before licking his hoof, “That’s the Rakes blood!” “Yes, I killed him.” He looks at me, “You freed us from that nightmare!? Oh, thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” I look at him as he grovels by my feet, “Your welcome?” He stands up and paces back and forth, “But I’m afraid that’s not the end of the Rake scourge.” “What do you mean?” He holds up a hoof, “First, awnser me two questions. One, you came to kill me, correct?” I nod, “Yes.” He nods as well, “Don’t worry, I won’t hold it against you. I assume you are part of a rebel ground against Dawnbreaker, correct?” I nod again, “Yes.” He nods yet again, “Good, then I shall join you.” I recoil a bit, “You will join us!? Why!? He sits back down at his desk, “I saw the true colors of Dawnbreaker today, and awful colors they were. She stormed into my office, and told me her horrible plans. She planned to take a homeless pony and apply more Sigma to them. She wanted to make another Rake and keep it as a pet! She wishes to bring that monster back!” “So you wish to join us?” “Yes, in order to stop her evil. If you could give me some fresh Sigma, I can make an antidote and stop that pony from becoming the Rake! Just put some Sigma into this crystal here.” I put a whole lot of Sigma into the crystal, “So, how can you help?” He puts the crystal away, “I can stop another Rake, and be a friend in a high place. Either way, you killed the Rake, and I am in debt to you for slaying my monster. I can also see the winning side here. Dawnbreaker does stupid stuff like bringing back that monster that even she can’t slay. Put it simply, I believe you are more powerful, and I only bet on winners.” I look at him again, “Try and cause as much political chaos as you can. We will be sure to inform you when the final phase begins.” He nods, “That I shall. And I will be ready to help in anyway possible.” I teleport out to where Raven is, “Good news, he decided to join us.” He looks at me, and smiles, “Great, then let’s return to base.” With a final nod, and the sound of bones collapseing, we walk back to the train.
