//------------------------------// // Prologue: Confronting Failure // Story: Villian's Orientation // by Ferak //------------------------------// Black Hat sent some hours ago Dementia and Flug to stop the impostor who was stealing most of his clients and possible contracts (an Muscular version of Black Hat created by accident which escaped was the impostor). He expected them to succesfully stop the impostors/fakes since this unlike other missions aftected them as a organization as a whole directly. But his last report made him furious, not only the impostor escape, but was that freak muscular version of himself. "Son unos inútiles!, dejaron escapar a esa vergüenza de mi imagen, doctor" said black hat looking into flug's eyes madly in rage since flug is usually the most sane and usefully of the three... "Eeek" Flug squealed "Jef- jefesito, er-an bastante fuertes" said scared trying to continue. "Pudimos vencer a nuestras copias, como puede ver, trajimos a la mayoria" said trying to mitigate some of the Fury of black hat. And pointing to the defeated versions of himself, dementia and 5.0.5 which were made/conjured by muscular black hat. Black hat took his eyes off the doctor after he mentioned that looked at those 3 individuals, thinking to himself 'they were indeed impostors' and sent them to the cointanment zone with a fast travel conjure. Thinking again 'Doctor flug in his report said that I shouldn't erase them, I Actually want to but he may have some use for them maybe... So for the moment lets spare them, since he sometimes show good results in those experiments' Flug continued after black hat made the copies leave "pero el estaba un paso delante nuestro, además demencia no fue de ayuda a la hora de enfrentarlo." crossing his arms and turning his head looking to dementia. "esta vez lo arruinaste, pudimos haberlo atrapado o neutralizado si hubiéramos podido escapar pero tenías que estar babeando y coqueteandole con tal de que siquiera te viera" rolling his eyes and crossing hims arms somehow ignoring black hat rage at the current situation, also She responded. "Callate cuatro ojos, el es perfecto, además porque me hechas la culpa, fuiste un inútil a la hora de pelear con nuestras copias, si no fuera por mi, te habrían-" said dementia but was interrupted "CIERRREN LA MALDITA BOCA TONTOS, SIEMPRE ME FALLAN PERO ESTA VEZ DEJARON ESCAPAR AL OBJETIVO PRINCIPAL DE SU MISION NO CREA QUE ME PUEDE DISTRAER" Flug litteraly wet his pants but dementia squealed happily seeing why he loved him so much. "Jefesito porfavor, d- deb-ería estar..." brainstorming to calm down his boss, he quickly said like appearing a light bulb on his head "feliz que incluso su copia no fue vencida con unos inútiles como nosotros, eso demuestra que usted es perfecto e invencible a pesar de ser una versión inferior." which had slight calming effect, maybe enough. "Ugh, tremendos inútiles" black hat commented, looking dissapointed but mad continued. "bueno doctor, espero que no me vuelva a fallar..." Looking like a huge tension in the air dissipated said "claro que si," looking a bit relieved said flug continued "muchas, muchisimas gracias y discúlpenos por ser unos totales incompetent-" trying to explain himself but was interrumpted by his PARTNER was commenting during his last words ¿Eso es todo?... " Loudly first but She wasn't always the sharpest took in the shed and was mostly talking to herself continuing quietly "Esperaba huesos rotos, tortura, algún hechizo o algo por el estilo" dementia muttered to herself but flug being next to her and knowing what she could have said cold sweated. Black hat wasnt unamused at her comment, and being all that powerfull even hearing the slightest sound in front of him was possible, decided to punish them. Then flug suddenly couldn't see and felt his head wet, felt how himself was being munched into his paperbag mask, black hat turned his mask into a small demon version which began eating him quickly, while his body rapidly dissapeared and the bag tounge like a tentacle wrapped dementia and did the same to her and lastly to 5.0.5 but was black hat didn't let it continue when It tried to take the bear, sparing the poor bear, he teleported/dissapeared the bag into the lab as always. Doctor Flug suddenly felt a world of pain, feeling how himself was being devoured from head to toe, he blacked out sparing him a bit of the torture after his hip... Black hat always healed them after a transition like these. *THUD, THUMP* Dementia was expelled first from the bag, like always it was more like a way for black hat to 'torture' his employees after failing an assignement or mission which was the case this time. Finally ending in flug waking up feeling after falling half a meter since his mask was to turned to normal and any physical damage was erased... Not mentally. "Tenias que abrir tu gran bocota, podríamos haber salido con un pequeño regaño y la típica amenaza..." angrily said the doctor to his partner, now thinking 'podría haber evitado el castigo o tortura si tuviera una forma de salir rápidamente, ya que después de que nos perdone pero como siempre pasa algo como esto inesperadamente, si ella quiere su castigo cada vez, entonces que lo reciba sola, necesito crear algo, digo... Si fui capas de crear un artefacto que materializa tu más grande miedo, que sería un simple teletransportador' (he brainstormed in less than a minute) Dementia stood up and looked angry to flug commenting "tu callate, me estabas hechando la culpa, somos un equipo, tu el cuatro ojos y yo los músculos, además fue una situación bastante diferente a cualquier mision que enfrentamos en el pasado". Crossing her arms and turning her head to other way leaving the room heading to her bedroom to rest. Flug looking a little sad at her partner comment and aknowledging it as true headed to the lab, his idea was good even if it was selfish, it could even bring them near their target or mission in the future, so discarding any doubts on the idea of the teleporter as an idea of fast travel, the second being a mean of escape happily started on his project collecting some materials.
