//------------------------------// // Taking a trip down Memory Pain Pt.2 // Story: The Inevitable // by frogben //------------------------------// Footsteps echoed off the blood-covered walls as Ben walked through the dimly lit hallway, finally approaching the testing armory, the door slightly creaked as it slid open, only to reveal a locked box, 2 healthpacks and a card of some sort. "Are you f**king kidding me? NVIDIA just discovered Jaxorifalcide minerals and alien technology capable of a countless array of weaponry! And this is all that they can get!?" Ben hissed, walking into the armory, suddenly a groan made its way from one corner, and a scientist, barely alive, crawled out of the shadows. "Dr.Audiski!" Ben yelled as he ran over to the dying scientist, "Ben... its the end of the station here, run... run dammit, run to the nearest escape pod!" "Audiski, what's the code for the box? What's that card over there? What happened?" "The code first of all, its... 98305, the card... *Cough* you've heard of the minerals and tech we recently discovered right? Well, we found out we could use the technology and minerals to put every single tool, weapon, you name it, all into one card, *Cough* but... something attacked us... before we could even finish releasing it to the public security, clipped me really bad... I wont be able to make it, just ru-' The word barely left his mouth before Dr.Audiski started coughing up blood repetedly, and then fell over, a pool of blood surrounding the man, Ben then let the man be, walking over to the box, picking up the card, the healthpacks, and inputting the code, a beep confirmed the code, and the box lifted open. "Fistiguns? Sweet!" Ben exclaimed, the Fistiguns had just released its information to the public, and the details were nothing compared to the actual thing, a titanium body, 4 barrels at the end, each one shooting Jaxorifalcide bullets, capable of many purposes, but mainly for CQC divisions, Ben decided to hold on to these, as these could be proven useful. "Well, i better warn Gina." Ben punched in the numbers and then came Gina's face, stained by ship oil and rust that rubbed off. "What is it Ben?" "Gina, you have to get one of those gunships up and running now!" "What the hell are you talking about? Mr.Lenoski issued out a warning to the entire station, is this what's all about?" "Look, the creatures from Mom and Dad's stories are most likely here, infecting the crew, so go and get a ship up and running now!" "I doubt those creatures are real Ben... wait what's tha- Oh god, its those creatures! Ok fine, i'll get a ship running, just get over here, where are you now?' "At the test armory in the testing facility, but those bastards have beaten me to it, Dr.Audiski is dead, and i got some Fistiguns, and a card containing basically every tool and weapon and thing ever existed." "Oh god... ok, we are on both ends of the station, dont worry, i can fend myself, I still have the plasma cutter Mom gave me." "Alright, i'll meet you there, seeya!" Ben then switched off the RIGlink, sighed, and headed for the door. Meanwhile on the Bahama Nebula... And not in the memory goggles... Isaac Clarke took another sip of his martini, looking at the tropical sky, joining him was Ellie Langford, the 2 decided to take a vacation, leaving the kids to thier own doings, "Isn't this a good vacation?" Isaac said. "Sure is, are you sure it was a good idea to leave the kids there? The signal at NVIDIA has gone dark..." "Don't worry, the signal always goes dark." "Ok, can't wait to see the kids again in 2 weeks." "Your telling me." Isaac chuckled and took another sip of his martini, looking at the waitresses across from him. Back in the memory machine... The hallways illuminated with soft light as Ben made his way through when suddenly, he heard some sort of screech! Ben dashed over to the door and skidded to a halt as a huge leaper lunged towards him! Quickly reacting, Ben whipped out a fistigun and sent a 4-bullet burst speeding towards the middle of the monster, leaving Ben a bit surprised as the monster got cut in half by the bullets. "Guess the technology is a bit too advanced... oh well." He decided to keep walking slowly toward the door, when an orange figure materialized out of nowhere, grabbed Ben and yelled "MAKE US COMPLETE!" Everything then went fuzzy as the goggles powered down, leaving the video a pitch black void... "What happened?" One of the professors asked. "Its ok its a power outage, its the time pegasi test out the thunder and lightning clouds so they won't electrocute as much." Rainbow dash said. "Well for sure it kinda went down at an inconvienient time." Said Ben, exiting the machine, "I wonder what that figure wa-" Twilight hardly finished before gunshots inside the room erupted. BLAM! BLAM BlAM BLAM! "What was that!?" Gina said, ducking behind a seat. "That was me." A voice out of nowhere said. The power flickered back on to reveal Chief Warkin holding a pistol, and in his other grip was Ben, 4 shots engraved into his head. "How could you!?" Gina yelled. "Why couldn't I? The bastard knew too much about me and my plan, so what better time to kill him than now? And don't even think that the royal guard or anyone can save you now, my army captured them, and the changeling army, they are too useless and incompetent to be slaves, and besides, a signal is bieng broadcasted which prevents every slave's powers and wings from working at all, you fillies will make great servants of mine. Guards, take them away, throw the body in a coffin across from the prison." Warkin smiled as the black-clad guards rushed in and apprehended everyone in the room, 2 guards dragged the corpse away, "Convergence will be here, im sure of it." Warkin devilishly smiled.
