Psycho: And as usual, Enjoy you sexy bitches!
Section one
I was in a dark void. Nothing moving. Sounds nonexistent. Then, blurred images slowly unfurled to my eyes as did sounds slowly grew in volume. I was in a brightly lit hallway. And far as i could tell, I was running. I could feel a primal psychotic glee as i ran with a demented grin of malice, holding something. I couldn't tell at the moment as music fit for killing played as i ran. But when a man came into sight with a large green scaled bipedal creature coming up in front of him, facing me. I only chuckled knowing somehow it was a futile attempt. I ran up to the creature as it was opening it's maw for an attack of some sort. But I lept up onto it's upper body, my left hand on it's right shoulder, and my right arm pulling forwards to jam into it's mouth. At that moment i saw it was a black chinese war sword. It was plunged into the back of it's throat, the creature falling backwards from my momentum, being killed instantly as it's eyes glazed over, the blade going through the back of it's mouth and into it's spinal column of it's neck. Severing the nerves, then i lept off it lobbing the man's head off in the process in two swift motions.
I then continued running down the hall, turning down this hall and that hall. Leaving a trail of utter carnage along the way as a shrill voice cackled maniacally from my mouth with a growl. "More! More! Send me more to carve! AAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAHAHAAA!" The voice cackled like an imp with malicious mirth. Moments later after another was cut down i sprang up out of my sleep only to be caught by the straps that kept me from floating away from my bed breathing somewhat hard, as did a malicious grin quickly fade. I brought my hand up to my forehead as i calmed my breath.
"Jesus mcfuck...I have to stop eating those damn special packaged foods before i sleep." I said slightly groggy and in irritation.
"Awww, but i get to have my fun in the dream realm!" A somewhat shrill ish, somewhat high pitched voice said in my mind.
"Really Psycho? As much as it somewhat entertains me, i get more weird ass dreams then anything. I don't like the damn things." I retorted to the voice.
"Though for the longest times you've been wanting to dream. Granted it took a trip to Vegabond's station to finally do so. And now you bitch that you don't want them any more after nearly seven years, of not dreaming." Another though much deeper voice said.
"Yeah, but then i remembered why i made myself stop having them." I said, a sorrowed note edging my voice. I could never have a dream i wanted to dream of since i began to finally dream after eight years of wanting to that fantastical realm again. I reached to my right to grab my glasses, as they conveniently floated to a spot i was grabbing at without looking. "Oooh bloody hell…" I sighed in the dimly lit room i was in. I saw my digital watch float in front of me, I decided to grab it curious of what time it was, as i pressed a corner button brightening the screen with a greenish blue glow. 8:35 am. I mentally sighed as i unclipped the straps. I looked around the room looking for my drink i had for the night. It took me several moments to find it as it was floating near to the ceiling. I lightly pushed myself off the bed, taking advantage of the zero gravity momentum factor. The one thing i love about being in a spatial region is the zero gravity. Don't have to work much on momentum. I thought as i grabbed the bottle and placing a hand on the ceiling so i didn't hit my head, effectively stopping myself.
I drained the last quarter of a liter that was in it, being somewhat dehydrated and trying to get my sugars up. Hypoglycemia, thou art such a bitch… I commented as i woke up some more, with result of me also popping the various joints of my body, making a chorus of snaps and pops. "Oh much better." I said as i pushed off of the ceiling and made my way to my holo screen computer. And another thing i like about this is the computing tech.
"Amen to that Will. Plus any more parts of your body pops in quick succession to what you can already do. I'm calling you rice krispy treat." Psycho said agreeing then commented humorously.
Shut it. I thought with a short mental chuckle.
"Allllrighty diety...let's see what's on the bullshit list today." I said going into my scottish accent, even though i'm not even from Scotland, nor have i ever been there. Though I can sound like a native resident to the land. "Panels going to shiet, some tubing going to shiet. News planetside of things randomly going to shiet…" I listed as i continued the accent, not all that interested of the news coming through. "Wait a fuck…" I said as i went back to the news screen. "Now who fucked what?" I said using my usual phrase for when something caught my attention last second.
Several new creatures have been seen taking out exploration teams and there respecting guard mech's from these last few days. There has been only three survivors from the entirety of the sixteen search squads of eight researchers and, there four guard mech's. The body's of the mech's have shown to be horribly mangled and torn apart even though there armours rated to withstand damage from something of mid scale railgun weaponry. I read, my eyes widening and my brows furrowed. What the utter fuck almighty can damage those things! I thought exasperatedly with a surprised expression with furrowed eyebrows. As i was trying to contemplate the extensive damage something metallic bumped into my head.
"Sonuvabitch." I said quickly recoiling my head back, turning to what hit me in one motion. I saw my new little but oh so powerful bluetooth speaker. "Hello you sneaky little prick." I said nonchalantly to the music playing contraption in a smooth sounding deep voice."Come hither, my wonderful little maker of music." I continued as i grabbed it and placed it on a metal plate next to me, turning it on in the process and turning it's attaching mechanism on. In other words it's magnet. It produced a short series of low to high beeps indicating that it was on. I made a motion on my left hand like i was flicking my hand open and a holographic like glove of sorts appears from about halfway up my forearm to my hand, colored in beautiful alternating patterns of blue and purple. I quickly navigate the UI on the device.
"Come on…" I announced to the multi purpose device of mine. I came up to the music function and then connected to the speaker, connecting instantly then starting off with Black Dog by Led Zeppelin. "That's better." I said then my voices began to sing along to the song. Which i forgot to mention, We love to sing to most of my music i have downloaded. I have old rock classics like Ozzy osbourne, Def leppard, AC/DC and quite a few others, then i have things like the newer rock. And the good kind mind you, Three days grace, most before the singers changed, Skillet, Godsmack. And that's just to name a few i have of that genre, I even have a good selection of dubstep and a hint of metal, and about maybe six or eight rap songs, most being gaming rap. One from Will smith, and from Eminem and i forget some of the others...It's hard to remember a lot of songs off hand when you have over a thousand songs, Almost two thousand if i remember correctly.
"Alright back to that little fuckery post…" I said then began reading again. As I continued to read on, my internal anxiety shakes began to vibrate my insides as i read. Oh how i hated how my anxiety and paranoia tag teamed my mind, providing terrifying situations. God dammit. This is why i never read or listen to the fucking news… I thought irritatedly as a vague mental model of some sort of a large creature played in my mind of it's destruction. As i was floating away slowly from the computer, I was in rather deep thought several minutes in trying to come up with some sort of reasoning to the claw marks on the mech's when a knock sounded making me jump. "Fuck!" I said in surprise as i now flipped trying to grasp on something. "Damn it damn it damn it damn it dammit!" I said somewhat quietly as i finally grabbed onto an edge, righting my momentum. "Ha!" I laughed triumphantly, then launched myself to the door. "Alright who the fuck is it this time…" I said irritatedly as my music continued to play in the background. When i got to the door, I pressed the button and launched myself above the bulkhead of the door as the door opened a split second later.
I quickly and silently turned back around looking at the floor now, waiting for who was at the door to make a sound. "Hey, you in there Will?" I heard a large man's voice ask. I then popped my head out from above the frame with a somewhat irritated expression. "What?" I asked raising my voice a little bit with irritation, widening my eyes for emphasis, I was rewarded with the big man trying to punch me, thankfully i retreated quickly enough. "HA!" I laughed with a grin as i popped my head out again, the same action from the man came again. "Jesus!" I said ducking again. I waited a moment. Then i slowly moved my head back into the doorway with a narrow eyed look of irritation.
"First one was you surprising me, second one was for spite." The odd large dark skinned man said, though large man as in muscle structure. The large man looks if not exactly like the convict in the green mile that was sentenced to the chair. A big man with a great heart and gift snuffed out by biased laws...
"Uh-huh. Okay, what is it, i was in the middle of reading something planetside." I said irritation in my voice with an raise eyebrow.
"That's what i came to talk about. You heard about the mangled mech's?" The large man asked as the song Could this be by Noisia came on.
"I was just reading about that Vasek." I said my irritation still edging my voice, but i was still wondering what he wanted with me.
"We got sent one of the mech's to take a look at. I wanted a little help looking at the damage." Vasek said with a smile. I furrowed my eyebrows.
"Couldn't Jack help you on that? Or one of the techs or that one chick with the tech headset?" I stated, not in the mood to leave my room.
"He's got a work list up to his eyeballs for the next week. If i could i'd get him to help. Techs are already on some other crazy crap that came up. And Jezlin is off somewhere doing her thing." The big man added as i righted my orientation making it look like i was hovering above the floor by two feet to about eye level to Vasek. "Bloody hell…" I sighed. "It'll give you a chance to screw around with the parts to make some of that crazy shit of yours." He added, which peaked my attention. "That and i'll get you a half rack of that blue dew." Vasek added as a little bribe.
"I know you're bribing me, but i do need a restock." I said contemplating. Then i had an idea to sweeten the offer.
"Alright, add the regular dew and the Got your six album from Five finger death punch, and i'll see if i can asses the type of damage within the hour." I added with a smirk, the man gave a sort of frown silently saying "really?" Then conceded. Most likely less if the damage is obvious enough.
"Alright...deal." He said after several moments on his own contemplation.
"Vundabar!" I said in a convincing german accent. "I'll be out in about five minutes." I announced then closed the door by hitting the button again, pushing away at the same time. After being there after the first week and a half, i mastered moving around in zero g. And i can move about pretty damn fast when i want to in this station. I've actually become the most mobile person on this station for that fact, which put a small grin on my face whenever i thought about it. Shit goes down, no one'll catch my ass heheh. I should really work on my accuracy on this type of environment though. I thought with a note of interested malice.
"Better the accuracy, the longer you live!" Psycho added.
Exactly.
With that, i came up to the dresser. Well, it's a clothing compartment as they like to call it, but i prefer to call it a dresser for convenience sake. I quickly changed from my sleep clothes and switching into my outing clothes for the station, that being my cargo pants and a black shirt with wispy blue skulls trailing in a black void. Then my socks and black nike running shoes that have been my normal shoes, then my tungsten rings on my right middle finger and my left ring finger. Some of the crew think i'm married because of the ring on my left ring finger. I keep reminding some of the twits on here that i'm not. Then my black digital watch onto my right wrist, I looked at my Seether wristband from 2014, the only letters now faded are t.h.e.r. It's kind of annoying considering but, i've stopped caring a long time ago, and stopped wearing it. Then a chainmail wristband that was black purple and blue, that was meant to replace the wristband before i found it again. Then finally since this station is a cool sixty degrees, i don't have to really worry about being hot on this damnable chunk of orbital metal and plastic, Finally i got my necklace that was threaded with a leather cord, through the look of a necklace of two three clawed dragon paws holding a purple round gem that had little sparkles.
So i've been just putting my black Punisher coat on for sake and habit, then i went to my mini fridge and grabbed my pop that was stored in those special bottles made for Zero grav.
I chuckled, ready to enjoy the carbonated drink. With such i took a long drink. "Oh, damn that's good." I said, enjoying the taste of this bottle of Mr. Pibb.
I then pushed off to my computer, grabbing onto the hand holds shortly after, grabbing my speaker, then a wireless headset for my "Omnitool" as i liked to call my holo glove. Of course neither name is what it's called. But i couldn't remember what it is for the life of me...as per usual. At some point i'll remember and then forget shortly after. Having a random self-manipulative and contradictive memory is such a pain in the ass.
I placed the speaker in the large left thigh pocket, and the headset around my neck.
On afterwards i lunged to the door gripping the handle and pressing the button in quick succession the door sliding open a second later "Hi ho hi ho to the mangled ass mech we go." I said floating by Vasek, the large man went along leading the way, as i followed, grabbing, pushing and lightly tapping my way along making adjustments to my path. As we made our way to the work space that held the mech, the damn song from lion king that goes "A whim away, a whim away" played in my mind for no reason whatsoever as i floated along with Vasek. It took a few minutes for the two of us to get to the work bay this was in, but we made it without any hindrance from the rest of the crew thankfully. I looked around from the entrance and saw the mech floating in a easy to examine area.
It's more mangled then the rest, and with more prominent...claw marks?
The bloody hell? I thought surprised with a raised eyebrow.
"Go take a look at it." Vasek said seeing my surprise.
Wordlessly I pushed away with my feet to the mech. Though this is a mech, this isn't a normal mech. There usually built to be about 6'7" high with an protection AI and made durable, they were made to look like a big guy with a strong build. It took me a few moments to get to the mech, grabbing onto a little bar next to it where it was tethered. As I looked at it, I tilted my head to the right a little bit looking at it in minor disbelief. Large claw marks all over the bloody thing, busted arms and missing almost all of it's lower body by what seems and what i quite hoped weren't bite marks.
"Well that's unsettling…" Vlad said being a little disturbed by the look of how easy the claws cut into the metal and the bite marks. "Very…" I added, as i took my glasses off and attached them to the collar of my shirt and climbed on doing a closer look, taking advantage of my near sightedness. I stopped for a moment to power up my headset. It connected to my omnitool immediately, with me quickly and smoothly pressing the play button. The acoustic version of the song I Will Not Bow by Breaking Benjamin played as i resumed my curious lookings over the mech's body.
Outer layer's fuckled to no end...circuitry either sliced or smashed... wirings same prob...some of the compasitative unite's are now scrap, some essential units ripped out… I thought as i looked over the metal body making a laundry list of what's destroyed and beyond.
"You know...those cuts are really fucking clean for an attack by the local beasties." Psycho noted as he saw the claw marks.
"No animal has this ability to cut into this kind of metal and leave as clean as cuts as these…" Vlad said being continually more unsettled by this. Then a thought came to him.
"Will, can you get me inside to look in it's memory unit to see if we can get a glimpse of what made these marks?" Vlad suggested having an idea.
I contemplated as i looked over some more. Might as well, because i'm getting nothing out of this, besides how fucked up it looks besides what it might of fought.
I put back on my glasses and went up to the head of the metal body and brought up my omnitool. I then placed my left hand on the head of the mech and my omnitool was then dominated by the purple color as i felt my mind empty a little bit with a small right eye twitch. It was a few moments before the blue and purple patterns returned. Then i looked at my omnitool to see the necessary files have been repossessed by Vlad. "Damn i love doing that." He said sounding as if he had a smile on if i imagined. I'd allow you to do it more, but it'd feel so fucking weeiiird. Among other fuckery. I thought back to the voice.
"Still can't understand how this device lets me interact with electronics like an AI…" Vlad said still confused about that fact, though not complaining.
I'd love to know myself, as badass as that is it's still unnerving. I thought.
I pulled up the memory unit file's video feed. "Let's see vat ve have here…" I said to the air as the video began to play. Then i paused it quickly. Actually i should watch this in my room, less prying eyes...and vocal monitors... I thought after being found i was being monitored a few times. I can't fucking trust people here… I thought in irritation. I shook my head slightly at the body, actually feeling sorry for the machine, then moved the right side of my headset off my right ear turning off my omnitool. "Damn you really got fucked up. Actually feel sorry for ye." I said to it, as if expecting a response from the half destroyed, powered down unite. I moved to the hand bar like thing the mech was tethered to, then pushed off to Vasek. It took a few moments for me to get there, and moved past without touching anything from my trajectory.
"Hey, you got anything from it?" Vasek asked as i floated by.
I looked at him, with a faint smirk that Vasek couldn't hope to see. "Besides it being all sorts of fucked up and all over with claw marks among other things. Yeah, i'm going to privately check out what i found." I said back to the large man. Then looked forwards again, then said quietly. "The prick better follow up on that deal…" Can hardly trust some of the assholes here… Thought with my trust issues i had in the first place, before i was put on ice for who knows how goddamn long.
I continued on, quickly making my way back to my quarters. Little farther, little farther… I sort of chanted in my head as i closed the distance to my room. I grabbed on a bar stopping my momentum with me in front of my own little domain. I quickly imputed my pass code and entered, the door closing behind me not a moment sooner to my hope. I sighed though my nose, relieved to be back in my room. I went up to the computer activating my omnitool in the process and pulling up a personal system on said computer, and being very grateful of having techy friends.
I did a small motion for a data cord to form my omnitool and it snaked up to the slot onto the computer, then the data from the mech came up a moment after. "Alrighty diety...let's what-" I stopped myself, my eyebrows furrowed in irritation as i saw movement past and above the computer. I looked over the holoscreen to see something skittering on the wall. It looked to be made of metal, as it occasionally shined. "Motherfucking cockblasting shit weisels!" I said oh so pissed that there is a surveillance bug in my room. Again…. I had a mallet form in my right hand from my omnitool, then moved to the bug, as Psycho did the Jaws theme music as i neared the pesky little robot. "C'mere you wee little fuckmuffin!" I said in my native sounding Scottish accent. It began to move at a hurried pace. This one looked like a cockroach this time. I neared the cheeky little bot, grabbing it up and holding it in front of my face with an angered look crossed with a look of death.
"Whoever da fuck ye be." I began, my voice low and menacing, still doing my accent. But then i switched to my more intimidating demon voice, that was deep and graveled. "I will find you and castrate you with this mallet. And i will destroy everything you hold dear and take several digits from your hands and feet." I continued, then placed it on the wall smashing the roachbot a split second after. I did a growling sigh through my nostrils after a moment.
"I swear i'm going to kill bitches." I said in my normal voice as i switched audios from my headset to my speaker just in time for the song Failure from Breaking Benjamin. Then i went back to my computer. "Now back to what i was going to do." I said, irritation steadily lowering as i selected the videofeed, shaking my head. "Fucking assmuchers…" I said with venom in my words. Really need to make counter measures against this bullshit.
"Now, show forth your contents." I said as the video played, then i took further procation, with my headset connecting to the audio from the computer.
"Vega, can you do a quick scan?" A middle aged man asked. I assumed it was the mech's designated code name or nickname as the terrain flashed over with a faded white pulse, information popping up on screen.
"There are no hostile entities in the vicinity Dr. Dellheart." A deep computerized voice answered a moment later.
"Good, keep scanning periodically. Last thing we need is being ambushed by some of the fauna." Dellheart said casually as he stepped over a felled log.
"Agreed, this world isn't on my 'places-to-do-die' list." A younger sounding man replied with a note of humor in his tone.
Hmm...this must of been one of the research teams. Somewhat interesting so far. I thought as i looked at the data periodically, not being able to help it since my vision catches movement more then the others on this ship, thanks to my years of gaming. Some of the data intrigued me, from the plant life and some of the small wild life that scurries away from the group.
Minutes later a disturbing sound rang through the forest, It reminded me of the first american Godzilla movie based in new york, though it was a few octaves higher.
"...The fuck…?" I mouthed as i listened wide eyed, the mech looking to the direction of the sound.
"That sound does not bode well." The mech said, taking the thought out of the other scientists.
"Vega...you took the thought right out of my mind…" Dellheart said. Dreading the possible sight of what creature made that sound.
I'd like to know what the morbid hell made that sound...it sounded a hell of a lot like Gojira… I thought, somewhat frightened and rather curious.
I continued to watch as the group continued there journey to wherever there going too.
"Damn this jungle terrain…" A man said with irritation as he nearly slipped onto the ground, catching himself by grabbing a rather convenient branch, then continued walking with the group.
It was sometime before they encountered a large body of spring water, though this body of water was rather different then others seen. It had a kind of violet color to it, then an expected blue.
"Alright, let's rest for a while and get some water samples. Terra, Sven. You two handle getting some samples. Everyone else, break time." Dellheart announced. Then he looked at Vega.
"Vega, you and the other mech's make a perimeter. We don't want anything ambushing us, like any natives or the like." ordered.
"Affirmative." Vega said, then he ordered the other mech's via wireless link. And with quick order, they began making the perimeter.
I skipped ahead on the recording a little bit just in time afterwards i did so, a hauntingly beautiful voice calmly sang a shanty i have known for a good while that surprised me greatly.
"I thought I heard the Old Man say: "Leave her, Johnny, leave her." Tomorrow you will get your pay, and it's time for us to leave her. Leave her, Johnny, leave her! Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her!" The woman's voice sang with an accent.
The researchers went wide eyed at the haunting melody as everyone was looking for the origin of the maker of the song.
"For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow. And it's time for us to leave her. Oh, the wind was foul and the sea ran high."Leave her, Johnny, leave her!" She shipped it green and none went by. And it's time for us to leave her." The voice calmly sang as the song was getting louder.
"Who and what is singing!?" Dellheart said a note of fear in his tone.
"Could it be one of the natives?" John asked Dr. Dellheart, hoping.
"Maybe…"
"I hate to sail on this rotten tub. "Leave her, Johnny, leave her!" No grog allowed and rotten grub.
And it's time for us to leave her. We swear by rote for want of more. "Leave her, Johnny, leave her!" But now we're through so we'll go on shore. And it's time for us to leave her…" The voice continued with a pain of sadness to the last words.
"We swear by rote for want of more."Leave her, Johnny, leave her!" But now we're through so we'll go on shore. And it's time for us to leave her…" The voice finally concluded the tone of longing prevalent.
There were long moments of silence as the researchers looked at each other and decided to look at the direction of Vega, the droid was pinpointing the origin when the wall of leaves began to move from his ten o'clock. He whirled around pointing his Rail Rifle, he did a scan. There was a dog sized squirrel of sorts there scampering off. Vega eased up a little, then continued searching. Though moments later, there was gunfire with a robotic scream and the crunching of metal with it, the scream silencing as quickly as it began.
"Delta, Gamma. Search the sector Zeta was tasked to search." Vega ordered via wireless link as he continued his search.
A minute later the area lit up to a degree, with Vega whirling around to the sound of a metallic short circuit like sound, which to me it sounded like a lightsaber deflecting a beam of something.
Vega saw a sudden jump in the heat spectrum to the area where the other two were sent to.
"What if I told you, life was built to break? What if I warned you, you can't outrun your fate?" The voice began to sing.
Vega then got on a com link to Dr. Dellheart, his and the group's safety in increasing danger.
"Dr. Dellheart, we have to leave immediately." He said as the voice continued.
"So here's to the heartache. Here's to the mistakes! We'll drink to all the years, the tears. That led to this place. So here's to the heartache." The woman sang as one of the researchers tried to run, while Vega ran back to the group.
It was a man named Tilman Friedeberg. As he ran he could hear the voices of the others calling out to him to come back. But afterwards several moments later, everyone except the robots felt there hairs on there bodies sand on end as a blue ball of electricity flew out of behind the rest of the group, following the poor man trying to live. The man was sprinting as he began to hear a static crackle bite at the air as it made it's way quickly to Tilman. But as he looked behind him. The ball of electricity struck, with a small thunderclap. Launching the body of the man into the tree with sickening crunch of his bones, falling down with a wet thump.
"What if I told you that everything fades away? What if I hold you, but tell you there's just no escape?" She sang as the singing became clearer as several object flew by and smacked into three more researchers, killing them instantly.
Vega was in the robots form of desperately, He ran up to the last remaining four members. With Dr. Dellheart. Dellheart was growing ever fearful of who or what is singing and killing his colleges.
"Vega can you get a read of who or what the hell is trying to kill us!" He asked exasperatedly, his terror showing in his eyes as he looked at the remaining other three members.
"Would you believe with time comes grace? In perfect light, in perfect place. Every dream was mine to lose. And that's what it took to lead me to you." The voice continued as she neared the clearing.
Vega did many scans on what this could be. But each one coming up empty handed. "Dr. Dellheart. I can not acquire any readings on this being. It is something not documented." Vega replied, his weapon trained finally to the direction the singing originated. Then rustling of leaves could be heard and seen from the direction Vega had his weapon trained on. Dr. Dellheart would be intrigued that this was an undocumented species if his colleges weren't being killed, with himself being the next possible target.
"So here's to the heartache, Here's to the mistakes. We'll drink to all the years, the tears
That led to this place." The being sang, as the leaves continued to rustle. Then, the being attacking finally revealed it self. The creature was humanoid though looked like a type of metal esque humanoid lizard, standing at least seven feet tall. Bordering on eight from the distance it was at. It had grayish white and dark gray plating that was almost black, with a long tail colored the same dark grayish black. It's face held humanesque facial features colored grayish white, with what looked like a helm that shaded it's eyes. The helm had two long spikes protruding from two out of three holes, making it look like it had long straight spike like horns.
It had a somewhat lilith frame that had prominent female features, that hides it's strength all too well. With a look that adorned a tone of sadness and long boiled anger on her face, then a mark on her right arm showed...a tattoo of an elaborate flower design that i thought looked cool and rather familiar. "Here's to the dark days, It's been a long wait. We'll drink to all the years, the tears. That led to this place…...I'll suffer, I'll bleed. Lose everything, I'll get my wings. Fall from belief. Fall to my knees, And you will see. With time comes grace…" The humanoid lizard finished the sad melody of long held heartache.
That was Nothing More's Here's to the heartache...how the hell does it know that song? None of the people on this station even know of any of the music i have, and it sang two songs from my music...two fond ones at that, my favorite sea shanty and one of my more liked somber tone song i have in that playlist... I thought, surprised, intrigued and with another feeling i couldn't describe...like a familiarity of some sort. Like i somewhat know that being.
Then something surprised me what she said next…
She looked dead in the eyes of the last four researchers with a cold stare… "None of you are my little Wilhelm..." She said sadly and coldly...which structed a thought in my mind...
"Who do you speak of." Vega asked in a calm like tone bringing the rifle down, the others looking at Vega with confusion and fear.
"A person none of you will know...a loved one lost to me by ever odd means i have no hope to explain…" She replied somberly. Then a feeling i haven't felt in a long time...a large pang of sadness. As i made a look of somberness to the metallic being. She then began to near them. Vega retained his rifle to her.
"Please stay where you are. I do not wish to use lethal force on an undocumented being." Vega announced calmly. The being chuckled.
"An undocumented being...didn't know i was supposed to be in a catalog." She replied a note of humour in her tone. As she walked, her right hand grew in size as did long curved claws, that glowed with a metallic sheen. The scientists fear grew ever more from that little display, and started to whimper.
"Requiescat in pace…" She quoted in a dark tone as she continued up to the remainder of the group. "Stand down." Vega said in a stern tone, but it seemed it fell on deaf ears. As she neared i saw the color of her eyes. Dark blue captivating eyes that had a violet ring around the irus. I zoned out a little as i looked at those eyes. You know, if it wasn't for the horror movie esque aspect of this, i would be commenting on her hotness factor right now…
"Definate 9.8 on the sexy scale, 10 for the rack. 11 on the bod." Psycho noted from a one to ten scale, picking up the slack on the certain department of my mind.
"Final warning. Stand down or be fired upon." Vega said hoping for this to end peacefully as i shook my head getting out of the zoning.
The Being smiled and chuckled. "Either way i'll have another helping of comfort food out of you robots." She said as she basically vanished and appeared in front of Vega launching the droid into the air with a metallic cutting sound of metal being ripped. He finally dropped a moment later sliding up to a tree trunk and propped against it, being able to see the rest of the spectacle unfold.
A small diagram of Vega showed up at the top right of his vision showing his chest, blinking yellow on the scale of damage. With five claw marks going where if he were human his left kidney would be and ended at his right peck. Jesus christ... I thought as i looked at the damage, then remember the extensive damage of that encounter floating in the smaller cargo bays.
Vega was getting up as his vision was going on the fritz, not enough to hamper his sight he couldn't navigate clearly. When he was on his feet he began running for his gun as the metallic creature went up closer to the four members. He grabbed his Rail Rifle aiming for the chest cavity, then began to fire. The rounds made to my horror deep pining sounds with quite a few ricocheting off and whizzing off to who-the-hell-knows-where. She turned to Vega again, a look of irritation on her face. "Yeah, now i'm definitely going to munch on you. Loving the alloy you guys are made of." the humanoid creature said with a somewhat sadistic grin.
Then three black and dark purple balls of energy appeared, hovering over her hand circling. She held her arm out to the remaining members. Now Vega was shooting at her head, but now a green barrier sprang up in the direction of Vega, the small Railgun rounds hitting the shield, but just bouncing off harmlessly. She looked at the four researchers a fourth smaller ball of energy forming at the center of the other three. Then all four launched, smacking and killing the other three scientists but giving Dellheart a serious concussion, knocking him out.
She then looked at the droid with a hungry look in her grin and eyes. "C'mere, I want to show you a trick…" She said as she walked up to Vega. He continued to shoot, but it was seemingly futile.
When the being was near she grabbed the Rail Rifle and attempted to break it, but stopped before she made a blow on the gun. She examined it, looking at it at different angles then smiling.
"You know, i'll actually keep this. Seem like it could do some good damage on some of the wildlife here at a distance." She said. Then placed it down, then looked at Vega with the same hungry look from earlier.
She grabbed Vega by the neck, then punched both arms, one by one. Rendering them useless as the damage indicator showed his arms in red with black lines on them.
"There's the reason it's arms were so broken…" Vlad said, that question in his mind finally answered.
"God damn it she so familiar!" Psycho yelled, hating not having an answer to the familiarity, both sides of my normal and dirty minds sifting through memories.
I know...it's bugging the hell out of me… I thought as the humanoid threw Vega on the ground, then going to his side. Stepping a leg over as she faced his legs, her tail hitting Vega's head. The metallic humanoid creature then planted a foot on Vega's mid section and reached down, grabbing hold of the right leg and pulled. The sounds of growning metal could be heard for a few moment's as the leg was ripped off. "There's one." She said as she reached for the other leg grabbing a hold of it and doing the same like the other one,"And there's two." Then sat down beside of Vega. Then the creature did something surprising and kind of expected. She chomped down on the thigh piece with a metallic crunch. Then began to munch away on the legs. This only took a few minutes for her to finish the legs. Then she looked at him again. "I guess i could have a few more bites before i'm full." She said with a ever slightly sadistic smile then leaned over to Vega, grabbing the remaining upper body and lifting it to her, with little effort it seemed. "I hope you are eliminated…" Vega said, actual anger sounding from his computerized voice. "Never had a robot hope to have me killed before. Heheh. Going to have to add to the odd-things-i've-come-across list." She said calmly, then took a large bite. The damage indicator was showing now him being legless and major damage on his midsection showing after the bite.
She then took another large bite after several long moments of chewing and then swallowing.
Vega then asked one last thing after she took a bite out of a critical part of him. "C-c-can you tel-te-ll me...what you are-re-re...? Before you des-des-des-troy me?" He mechanically sputtered.
The being was looking at the inside of Vega before she tilted him so his head was looking at her as she held a quizzical look. "Really now? I suppose i could spare the thought." She said, then mulled over the thought for several long moments, as i listened in intense anticipation. And without a more imaginative way to say it at the moment, had my attention by the balls.
"Well, from where i originate.-" She began as the audio was starting to dim in quality. "I'm called an Ag-on." The being said, but the audio decided to cut at the moment. But it sparked a shard of a memory to the chopped up word. Ag-on... I swear i know the spelling of the word…. But, the ever prick my random-selective and self-manipulative memory was, kept from me from finding out. Then she took one more bite, the video feed being terminated with a black screen afterwards.
I was basically vibrating with my anxiety shakes at this point, now knowing what killed that research team and it's mech's. "Holy mother of fuck almighty…" I whispered, taking the headset off and then registering my music again, which the song this time was Let You Down by Three Days Grace.
