Oh hi. Today I will tell you a tale of a demonic breakfast. I hope you had a good one this morning, because this one is evil.
Chapter 6: Evil Fried Eggs
Despite all their worry and fear, the trio pressed onward and found themselves standing in front of a very large building. It was 4 stories high and had all sorts of weird-looking machines attached to some of the sides, including two satellite dishes and three antennae on top. The golden double doors stood proudly in front like a gateway to Heaven. In the end, the place didn't look too spooky up close.
"Hey, it doesn't look too bad," said Bob.
"You never know..." said Jennifer.
"Stop being so paranoid," said Dan, walking up to the doors and pressing the doorbell. An elaborate and friendly-sounding tune played in bells. A few seconds later, the door opened and there stood a Porygon.
"Yes? Who is it?" said the Porygon in a hasty tone. He must've been in the middle of something important.
"Dr. Porygon, I presume?" questioned Dan. "I was told you make special bubbles for underwater travel?"
"Why, yes, I do. I take it you need to borrow a few of them?"
"Sure, if you'd be so kind."
"Well, come on in, all of you! I was in the middle of an intriguing experiment...The whole thing's quite puzzling."
Bob looked at Jennifer and exchanged shrugs. They followed Dan and Dr. Porygon into the lab. The rooms were filled with all sorts of peculiar machinery and chemistry, the kind of stuff that any curious mind (like Bob unrestrained) would have a ball exploring. They were finally led into a room that resembled a kitchen and had many common appliances.
"This is a test room?" said Bob. "It looks like a dining room!"
"Well," began Porygon, "It's really more a matter of what I'm studying. Take a look."
Porygon motioned to a frying pan on the stove. Dan, Bob, and Jennifer gathered around it and saw an egg frying on the pan. The egg had two yolks side-by-side each with a small black dot in the middle. The white was creased slightly above the yolk in a way that, together, looked almost like two angry eyes.
"It won't fry any more than this, no matter how long or at what temperature," said Porygon. "I got it out of a large red egg. I first scanned it for embryo and found nothing, so I thought it might make a good breakfast."
"Red eggs for breakfast?" wondered Dan. "Are you sure that's a good idea?"
Bob found something very odd about the frying egg. He looked in on it real close... Suddenly, the egg leaped out of the frying pan and perched itself on Bob's eyes with its scorching and slimy self! Bob started to run all over the room, screaming "My eyes are being attacked by evil fried eggs! Oh, and it burns!!"
Everyone stared at him in horror. Dr. Porygon, thinking quickly, rushed to a cabinet and produced a large spatula. He then attempted to pry the yolk loose from Bob's face, but surprisingly, the eggs flopped right onto the spatula. Porygon looked at it for a confused moment before the eggs once again jumped from its spot and landed over Porygon's eyes. From that point on, everyone's actions lost all meaning. Dan went for the eggs next, using his bare hands, but the eggs went straight for him. Jennifer tried to step back and avoid all contact with the bad breakfast, but the sightless Dan had to come a little too close and he passed her the eggs like a baton. Jennifer dropped to the ground immediately--man was that thing HOT! It was like putting your face down on an oven burner!
Porygon had left the room to retrieve a beaker from his chemistry closet and swiped it at the ferocious food item. The eggs leaped right into the beaker and Porygon swiftly capped it with a lid. The egg realized its mistake too late and started to hop around madly within its prison, desperately trying to break free. The others joined Porygon in a sigh of relief. "Come with me," he said. "I'll treat all those burns."
After Porygon applied a Burn Heal to everyone's face including his own, Bob had no choice but to complain. "What the heck were you doing frying such a death meal?! My life flashed before my eyes! I moved towards the light!"
Porygon was startled by Bob's tone. "Hey, I had no idea that those eggs were evil! But now that I know it, I'll never fry eggs again, even if they were normal eggs!"
"Where exactly did you find that egg?" questioned Dan.
"I went to the Imposing Mountains a few days ago to do some research on mountain climates," he began. "At the base of the mountain I found a small cave, and lying in front of the cave was that red egg. Now I pondered why there was an egg just sitting there, abandoned like that, so I took it. But I'm probably not going near that cave again."
"So, about those bubbles..." said Dan.
"Oh, right. Well, I could show them to you. The only problem is, if you're looking for three of them I'm sorry to say I only have two available."
"Um..." Dan looked at his friends. "I think we can manage...anyone here want to sit out?"
Bob shook his head (or in this case his whole body). "No way! I must have that treasure!!"
Jennifer looked at the ground. "Um, I kinda want to go, too, if that's all right..."
Dan looked back and forth between Bob and Jennifer. "Are you serious? But what will I do?"
"Hey, you're an Electric type," said Bob. "If you use an attack underwater, you'll zap everyone!"
"True...Fine, you two are better equipped than me. Unless I go alone, that is..."
Bob gave him an angry glare. Dan decided to take his statement back.
Dr. Porygon finally led them to a room with many small devices on tables, including a few pairs of red sunglasses, a green electronic hammer, a device with an antenna, and two tiny pink balls that looked like bubble gum. Porygon went over to the two gumballs and cleared his throat. "These are what I call 'Pink Bubbles'. You see, ordinary bubbles exist in nature that surround anyone that touches one and allows them to travel in any environment such as water, extreme heat and cold, and so on. But it was fundamentally flawed; it was somewhat fragile and the user was unable to interact with objects or use any moves. So, I genetically modified it to create this. The Pink Bubble surrounds the user, conforming to his or her exact body shape and allowing them to use any technique as if they were not wearing it. It also is virtually indestructible. So, if you want to try them out, please touch one."
Bob and Jennifer did as they were told. Each of them touched a bubble, which instantly surrounded them just as Porygon described. Both of them barely felt a thing.
"Neat!" said Bob. "Now I can go underwater as I please?"
"Yes you can," said Porygon. "Have a blast! Now, may I ask what you need to use them for?"
"We heard about this treasure in the lake to the West."
"Ah, I remember hearing about that. If you manage to find it, could you please return some of it to me so I may study it?"
"Sure, but remember that most of it is still ours!"
"Ok," said Dan, "so while they're out exploring the lake, can I stay here and look at all this cool stuff?"
"You certainly may," replied Dr. Porygon. "But you have to promise to help me test some of my machines. Don't worry, nothing is permanent, and you may benefit from some of it."
"Cool, what have I got to lose? I'll do it."
So, everyone had agreed on what they wanted to do next. Bob and Jennifer decided to meet Dan and Dr. Porygon back at the lab when they were finished. So, each of them said their goodbyes and headed off to discover new things...
I bet you all are hoping that you've seen the last of the evil fried eggs. Unfortunately, if that's the case, I have some bad news for you...MWAHAHAHA!!
