The group all stared at the polar bear. Lance kind of looked like he did something wrong, indeed he did. Ash turned her head dead into the polar bear's fidgeting blue eyes. He seemed really, nervous. Jonathon turned a stern look at DT, his eyes still fidgeting around the room. Steve took a few steps back, he didn't want to be a part of this. Jonathon took a deep inhale, and without a second thought screamed to the already frightened polar bear.
"YOU TOLD HIM YOUR NAME!?" He yelled.
Suddenly Jon knew what he did, but it was too late.
First, Ash hopped off the couch and paced toward the polar bear.
"What," She said. "I thought DT was your name."
Johnny nodded his head in agreement.
"Was I not supposed to say that?" Lance asked.
The group approached DT, closer and closer.
"So, what's DT?" Ash asked, her curiosity was peaked.
DT sighed deeply and lowered his gaze.
"An alternate name, so I'm not reminded who I once was."
Ash partially got the answer, the other part she got was kind of vague. Before Ash could ask another question, Johnny ended up asking one before her. The questions kept coming, and Jonathon felt more and more guilty for yelling out. Ash became so curious, she looked DT in the eyes and asked him…
"What is your real name?"
DT looked down, troubled. Ash suddenly threw her hands in the air and waved them around.
"No, No! You don't have to answer that if it's a touchy subject, I understand."
DT looked up, his expression suddenly stern and determined.
"No, I kept this story to myself for far too long, it's about time someone hears, the entire thing."
Jonathon looked at DT,
"Are you sure about this?" He asked.
DT nodded and asked everyone to follow him upstairs. Everyone did, and Lance and Becky having never seen the inside of DT's apartment before, quickly marveled at the sight. DT led them into the server room and lowered the screen and turned on the projector. The lights dimmed and everyone fell silent. DT cleared his throat to get the attention of everyone in the room.
"This is our story, me and Jonathon's are tied together…"
And with that DT began.
It all began in our universe of course, in the year 1983, the company of Discovery Technology Science was passed down by my father, Stanley Wieldman, to me Daniel Wieldman, or as some people call me "Danny". I wanted to change the science world, make something big, something powerful. My dream led me to Jonathon R. Mackenzie, a doctorate in machinery and robotics. Together, we created plans for a device unlike any other, it uses quantum energy to make infinite amounts of DTonium, a nuclear substance, discovered by yours truly. The blueprint was completed in the fall of 1984 and construction began soon after.
The entire machine was to be built underground, away from the public eye, in the DT Science Research Center in central Kansas. Construction of the huge machine went throughout the year, practically nonstop. Finally on May 1st 1985, the machine was complete and the test date was set for June 5th of the same year. On the day of the test, three other crew members were assigned to run the test, one for monitoring the machine, another for running the machine and the last for note keeping. Jonathon had to use the bathroom down the hall, and told us to start the machine anyway.
So, following Doctor Mackenzie's orders the machine's startup sequence was initiated. We were about the change the world… but not in the way we wanted. The machine started off so normally, the base DTonium core was placed and ready for ignition, the gases were being pumped. Suddenly, a mere ten seconds from the device's ignition, the alarms started to blare. Energy levels in the machine's core became unstable and were rising fast. I yelled for the machine to be shut down, but it was far too late for that. There was nothing we could've done in that small window of time. We couldn't run away, we couldn't hide. All we could do, was take a deep breath and accept fate.
On June 5th 1985, 11:35 A.M. the machine detonated. It sent a ball of plasma flame hurtling outward from the machine's core. The three other's… were vaporized instantly. The facility shook and rattled, and shelved objects fell from their perches. Then everything for me, went black. A few hours later, the alarms were still blaring. I opened my eyes, and pain shot through my body. One look at my hand and I knew, the explosion burnt me to a crisp. I didn't have that much time, so I though, trudge to the exit so they can find you.
My steps were short and incredibly painful, but I trudged on. Suddenly I began to sing… I don't quite remember what song I did sing, but as soon as I finished I was inches away from the exit door. I then fell to my knees, having completed my final task, and awaited the pearly gates. But that's when Jonathon found me and dragged me out of the highly eradiated facility and secretly took me to his lab. He hooked me up to a life support system in what was the last time I'll see my organic, human body.
DT looked up after telling his tale, is ever so hurtful tale. Ash never felt so dumbfounded, amazed and just utterly shocked in her life. DT was not who they thought he was, not even close. They thought he was just a normal polar bear, but they were all wrong. The polar bear alter ego was created simply to cover up DT's past. Ash soon felt sorry for DT. Lance looked at him.
"Man, you seriously been through hell, huh?" He asked.
DT nodded, but replied.
"We all do some time."
Ash walked up to DT and Johnny soon followed, with a sympathetic tear in her eye, Ash hugged tightly at DT's legs and Johnny, well… hugged normally. Suddenly Ash asked a question.
"So, your real name is Daniel Wieldman?"
DT nodded to confirm.
"What ever happened to your "organic" body?" Johnny asked.
DT sighed and asked the two to stop hugging him.
"Well, my burnt body was already dying and couldn't be saved, but my brain was perfectly fine, despite everything. And promise me, promise me you will not get scared."
Ash nodded and stated her promise, Johnny did as well.
"Come on, how could we be scare of you?" Lance asked, Becky nodded in agreement.
Well since my body was destroyed beyond repair, Jonathon made me…"
DT soon flicked his hands under his chin, and a click could be heard. DT then placed his paws on either side of his head and began to lift up.
"…This…" He mumbled.
Suddenly eye big blue eyes dimmed to darkness and they finally took notice, DT was lifting up his head. DT raised it slowly hoping to not scare anyone. Finally, a glimmer of sunlit reflected of something. DT sighed and paused, before in a quick dramatic motion lifted the head and dropped it to the ground. Ash gasped and covered her mouth, Johnny took a step back, and lance simply responded with a loud "whoa". They saw it, they all did, a silver metallic skull was well hidden under a polar bear mask. What they found strange was the fact it had three eyes and not just two. Two on top, one below the two, someplace in the middle.
DT took notice of everyone's sudden movements.
"Your scared aren't you...?" He mumbled to himself.
