Darkness rising // by Tunefulsubset72 //------------------------------// "So what's the plan?"Octavia said from my phone as I walked the streets if Paris to the museum. "I'm going to look for clues at the museum." I told her as she yawned." What time is it there?" "About midnight." She said with another yawn."I need to get some sleep soon." "Wouldn't blame you." I said with a laugh." you get some sleep." "Good night, love you." She said with another yawn." see you when you get back." "Love you too." I said before hanging up." now to look for clues." --Museum-- "This is quite interesting." I say as I'm looking at the displays, until a something catches my eye." Here we go." "Fasintaing isn't it." Said a man walking up next to me." Ive always found this so fascinating." "It is." I say, looking at the symbol on the wall." what can you tell me about it's history." "This is the symbol of the Templars." The man said." rivals of the brotherhood of assassins." "Any connections here in Paris?" I ask. "No one knows." the man said." The authorities found a piece of riped cloth not to far from the ruins of the old lab not to far out side of Paris." "What lab?" "Annierian labs, found by geo and spark melody." he said as I looked at him with shock." They had two daughters, lily and Octavia." "What happened?" I asked, now fully interested." To the lab and family." "An experiment gone wrong." the man said sadly." The we're trying to make the perfect android." "Androids?" "Yes, they almost had the perfect one." the man said." I would now, I used to work for the melodys." "What' happened with the android?" "The android went rogue." he said." something happened and it turned geo to stone." "What?" I asked shocked." How did it turn her to stone?" "When we had roaming around it found an ancient stone, and the power corrupted the android." The man said in tears." It shot at sparker and almost killed him and his daughter, I went to find them but, sparker was dead, and his daughter was nowhere to be found." "Where's the lab?" I asked." I knew geo and sparks." "You knew them?" he asked." what's your name?" "Nights." the man paled." what is it?" "That was the name of the android." the man said." they said, they wanted to name it that, because of what happened to a fmaily they knew." "My family." I said." Me, my brother and sister are all that's left." "I'm sorry nights." The man said." my name is sombra by the way." "Nice to meet you." I said shaking his hand." Now about that lab." "Right, head north until you reach the edge of the city, then continue that direction for about three miles." he said points me in the right direction." You can't miss, young tenkai." I stop in my tracks." how did you.." "I also know your were controlled by Dagon." he said with a serious tone." I'm glad to know your no longer under his controll." "Thanks for that by the way." I said." Some people think I'm still dead." "You can also find the elder scroll chaos there." sombra said putting his hand behind him." Noctunral told me of our mission." "Thanks agian." I said as walked away form the painting." tell vylad I said thanks as well." "I will." he said before vanishing into the shadows. --Ruins of annierian labs-- "Here it is." I say landing in front of the ruined buidling in my nightingale armor." I hope that android is offline." As before I entered the buidling, I noticed a skeleton ont he ground, whereing a lab coat, with a name tag with the name sparker melody. I sigh sadly as I entered the ruins, i noticed lots of old inventions and equipment around the place." Maybe if I find a computer, if its working, I could find the scroll." I say to my self as I enter a large room with a hole in the ceiling, also geo frozen in stone."If that robot is still online, I will hunt it down." I say clenching my fist in anger. --two hours later-- After searching for who knows how long, I managed to find a working laptop. "I hope this works." I say to myself as I turn the laptop, as mentally cheer as the computer turned on and sid welcome docter geo." Hlad it works." I said, then it said it needed a password." just what I need." I groan in anger, then I saw a picture of geo and sparks with Octavia, and a baby, which iw as guessing was lily." I know your pain." I said, knowing how Octavia felt, then I took the picture and put it in may bag, to give to Octavia, then I had an idea." What if the password is...." I say in a near whisper as I typed in the words octavia and lily, and it said acces granted."yes." --ten minutes later-- Ater a few minutes of searching, I figured out that the scroll was indeed here, and it was in a room, right down the hall from me. "Better get it." I say as I turn off the computer and stick it in my bag and run down the hall." please still be there." I said, as I opened the door, and find the room a mess, but with luck the scroll was there in the hands of a skeleton." poor guy." I said kicking the skeleton over and grabbing the scroll, but then I noticed a device on the ground. "What's this?" I said picking it up, I kinda looked like a handheld grandfather clock, it some small buttons on it, along with a dial." What is this thing?" I start pushing some of the buttons, after a few buttons I found a switch and manger to turn the thing on." wierd." I said in a near whisper, the screen in the middle off he dial start glowing show a date." Oh no." I say nothing it was the same date, when the lab was destroyed, and it was also a year later after annieria was destroyed." Maybe, what can this thing do?" I ask myself after changing the time to a minute back, and push a button." huh nothing happened." should've kept my mouth shut, after I said that the device start shaking and a blue energy shield surrounded me, next thing I now I'm gone. --June 27, 2007-- "AHHHHH!!! Oof." I fell face first out of a portal, in who know where." where am I?" An explosion shook the ground, I looked around for the source, but when I did, it to good to be true." I traveled through time." I said in shock as I saw the burning lab." If it's true maybe I can, save the melodys in time." I said activation gym classic nightingale armor. "Someone.( caugh, caugh) help..us." a voice said weakly form beside me, as I approached the entrence." please." "Sir are you ok?" I asked running over to the hurt man."

I said, then relized who he man was." So your sparker." "Who do you..." I pull of my hood." You knew my father Shadic." I said as the man started crying. "I'm so sorry for...what's,,happened to your home." sparker said struggling to get up." but please...save my daughter Octavia." "What about lily?" "She and her mother where the first killed by the android." he said, before caughing, up blood." We built the androids, to look like annierians, but tc--73 found and ancient stone, and went on a rampage, but please get Octavia out, and find geo and subwoof, they will help..her." "I'm sorry for what happened to your wife and daughter." I said, with sadness as sparker fell to a knee." but I will get Octavia out." "Thank..you." sparker said with one final breath, before dying. "Now to find the safe room." I said charging into the burninig building. --basement-- "SOMEONE HELP!!!" a little girl yelled as the android was trying to break into the room." ANYONE!!!" "Back of you piece of junk." I said as took a pipe and hit it in the back of the head, dazing it." Want more do ya?"

"Where are you taking me?" she asked coming out of her hiding spot." will it be safe?" "I'm taking you to a family friend." I said as she got on my back." They will keep you safe." "Promise." she asked. "I promise." I said, as something fell in front of me." what the,..." "How are we getting out of here?" she said crying as another explosion shock the burning building.
