Chapter 1: Terminus A: The Carnage Priestess
(???, former DBR institute, July 6, 2024)
…
Cold…
Wet…
Were… Am I…?
Who… Am I?
What…
Am I…?
"We are detecting sentient thoughts from Type: Terminus A!" Said a woman in a lab coat, working on a computer.
In fact, everyone in that room was- about two hundred people, all dressed in the same, white lab coats- all of them with the letters "DBR" on the back of it.
Everyone then glanced at the being that was apparently thinking sentient thoughts- a young girl.
She was floating in some kind of tank (it was the same type used to house Type α: The Emperor, but much larger). She was naked, with her long hair covering her body. In terms of age, she looked like she was about five- she had a oxygen mask on and many cords were attached to her body.
"She really has been making remarkable progress lately, hasn't she?" Said a scientist next to the woman who had declared sentient thinking.
"Yeah…" Said the woman.
"Hey, what's wrong, Maria? This is great- everything is finally coming together!"
"I know…" Said Maria.
But I wonder… she looks like she is a little kid… is it really ok to do this to her? Thought Maria. What if she's just a little kid mentally as well…? It would be so cruel to make her do what we plan her to do…
It was then that she picked up something on her computer- more thoughts. She quickly put on some headphones and was able to very faintly listen to what she was hearing, due to a few cords attached to her head-
Cold… it's way too cold in this! Thought the girl, as a crack began to form on the container.
"T-the hell…!?" Said a researcher, seeing the crack begin to form.
Maria gasped, and the man next to her simply chuckled.
Yes… Wake up, Terminus A… wake up, you beautiful little Pandora's Box! He thought, then looked at Maria, who looked rather scared.
"S-she's awakening!" She cried. "This is faster then I thought… way too fast!"
"Oh, common, Maria." said the man. "This is our messiah after all, how can you possibly even try to tell what it's going to do?"
"Kaizer, why are you so calm!?" She said, now glaring. "This is serious! If we don't take the proper steps in removing her restraints when she wakes up, the-"
"Yeah yeah, I know- the container can blow up in a hellish explosion and we all go to Hell." Said Kaizer, sitting down, completely calm. "But do you really believe that'll happen?"
"Of course I do!"
"And why would that be, Maria?"
"Oh, I dunno… maybe because we did a few tests before!? As in, the ones we did in case this ever happened!"
Out…… I want out of this cold!
"Oh, common, Maria." Said Kaizer, rubbing off a bit a dirt off his business suit, then getting off and walked toward a center aisle leading to the girl- limping, moving only his left leg.
"Kaizer, what the hell are you doi-"
"Relax." Said the middle aged man, chuckling.
"I have confidence I won't die." He said, ignoring the flashing red lights and panicking…
Then, it happened.
TOO COLD!
As the girl finished her thought, the glass shattered- sending many shards flying across the room, killing several.
Maria ducked under the desk, while Kaizer just stood and smirked- as two large pieces of glass just flew by both sides of his neck, both missing by less then half an inch.
He laughed, as he walked toward the now unconscious, naked girl.
"Hello, Carnage Priestess. Welcome to the world." He said, smiling.
What he really wanted to say was 'Hello, Pandora's Box. Get ready to destroy the world.'
Ah… Thought the girl.
"Warm…" She said, as she fell asleep.
"W-what the hell!?"
"She's awake!?
"S-someone! Go alert Goldman!"
As expected, the scientists in the room went into a panic, not fully sure what to do- honestly speaking, they didn't notice the door to the room open, but they did notice a young boy's voice cry out-
"Shut up, maggots!"
All eyes went to the entrance, except for Kaizer's.
"R-Ruler!" Said Maria, startled. "Please, don't just barge in here like that!"
"Why not, human? She's awake, anyway… Oh wait, she went back to sleep." He said, with a bit of a chuckle.
"What do we do, Terminus B: Heavinly Ruler?"
"Just go get her clothed and in her room." He said. "Relax, I'll tell Goldman." Might as well tell the little demon also. Thought Ruler, still by the doorway- due to the fact he had all the lights off in the room behind him, and how we was standing, it was hard to make out any physical features. "I said, go get her in bed and clothed!" Yelled Ruler, as the DBR employees began to scramble about.
Ah, nothing like seeing the little humans in chaos. He thought with a laugh, he then looked as Kaizer then picked up the one they called 'Priestess'. You'll learn that soon, dear sister, Priestess...
…
Several hours passed before she woke up.
"Ugh……" Said Priestess, opening her eyes. "Were… who… am I?" She thought, as she hopped out of the queen sized bed she was on.
She took a look around. Luxurious, spacey, and decorated with paintings and several toys, she had to admit it looked nice.
But that was overshadowed by her confusion at the moment.
A knock came on the door, which caused Priestess to gasp, then step back. "W-who are you!?"
"Ah, your finally awake!" Said Maria, walking in.
"W-who are you?" Asked the girl to the red haired, 27 year old woman. She smiled in return.
"My name is Maria, employee of DBR."
"D..BR?"
"We're a group… oh, I can't tell you now." She said. "So, like the clothes?"
Priestess then noticed she was clothed- a pink sleeveless, undecorated shirt and some jean shorts.
"Um… yeah…"
"That's splendid to hear, Priestess." Said Maria, smiling. "Anyway, I was told to give this to you." She handed Priestess a envelope, and walked out.
Priestess then gently opened up the envelope, then read it.
'Come meat me in my office- Goldman'
Short, and to the point. Enclosed was all a miniature map of the building, so she could easily find her way there…
"Well… guess I better go." She said, walking out of her room, first steps into a bloodstained life.
