Sorry this update took so long. I had a writers block and I wanted to find out Seer's character before I introduced him into the story, anyways enjoy Chapter 5!
Chapter 5: Meet The Seer
Unlike most of the other groups who were just haphazardly wandering throughout the maze, Crypto, Rampart, and Valkyrie were actually trying to be strategic about trying to find a way out. Due to each of them being "experts in technology", they determined that they needed to hack the mainframe and find some kind of blueprint to the maze. The only problem is, none of them knew if this place even had a "mainframe" nor how to access it. Fortunately despite the many interruptions, they were still able to maintain a phone call with Blisk.
"Alright Blisk, you got any idea where the mainframe of this place is?" Crypto asked.
"The what?"
"The mainframe, every evil deathmaze has to have a mainframe or at least some blueprints to help us find a way out!"
"Crypto, this isn't fucking Mission Impossible, we are in some real deep shit right now, and I need you guys to stay focused and tell me what you find."
"Exactly, this isn't Mission Impossible, this almost seems like someone tried to cobble together the plotlines of Saw and Maze Runner but did a really shitty job at it!" Rampart suggested.
"Ok, thanks for the input Rampart, I'm sure with that information we'll get out of here in no time!" Blisk replied.
"Maybe we've always been in this maze, we've just been too blind to see it our entire lives." Valkyrie chimed in.
"I swear to god, if I have to deal with another one of you insufferable pricks, I'm going to scream!" Blisk stated.
After Blisk finished her sentence, a massive portal opened up in front of the group. The three legends watched in awe as glowing butterflies began to emerge from the portal and glided around the room. They zipped through the air fluttering around one another, creating an intricate dance unknown to anyone but themselves. Such a graceful and beautiful sight, that was promptly ruined by a man being launched out of the portal at high speeds. The butterflies immediately ceased their dance and flooded towards the man as he landed on his face and emitted a pained whine, after which the portal he came through vanished. As the man slowly stood up the other legends noticed the butterflies entering a glowing blue compartment on his chest.
"Wha, where the hell am I?" the man said in a whiny high-pitched voice.
The legends were finally able to get a good look at the man. He was a black man with blonde hair, he wore a dark blue outfit that exposed his midriff and was covered with gold and black padding, and most of his face was obscured by a wide-brimmed dark blue hat.
"And who might you be sir?" Rampart said tipping her fedora.
"Eugh… I don't know, the last thing I remembered I was sitting in my house crying myself to sleep and now my face hurts and I don't know where I am." The man said on the verge of tears.
Crypto's phone then began to ring. The legends had been too distracted to realize Blisk was disconnected from the call due to the portal. Crypto picked up the phone and was meet with an annoyed Blisk.
"Crypto! what the fuck did I tell you about hanging up on me! If I lose the only people who might be able to help us get out of here, I swear to god…"
"Calm down Blisk, the reason we disconnected is because someone teleported here." Crypto responded.
"Oh ok then, wait they fucking teleported here!"
"Yeah!"
"Well, do you know who teleported here?"
"Actually, didn't get a name off of him. Hey Sir, what's your name?"
"Wow, this guy came in roughly 5 minutes ago and you still haven't asked him his name? That is not a pog moment." Rampart interrupted.
"Says the person who's interrupting me right now! Also, you didn't ask his name either, so shut the fuck up!" Crypto retorted.
"I did ask what his name was!"
"Why does it even matter if we introduce ourselves, we're all just cardboard cutouts walking through life, never finding their purpose." Valkyrie stated.
"You know what, I'm done with this shit, I'm going to play some TF2!" Crypto said, getting his laptop out and moving to a corner of the hallway.
"You guys didn't even let me talk!" the man spoke up, his voice unbearably shrill.
Before the man could continue his sentence, Blisk interrupted him.
"Ah fuck, not you again!"
"Wait, who is this guy?" Rampart inquired.
"Everyone, meet Seer! I interviewed this guy yesterday to see if he wanted to join the games. After I asked him his name, he cried for like 3 hours straight spewing a bunch of nihilistic bullshit."
"You guys are just like everybody else! No one cares about me; I mean nothing to anyone." Seer said.
"See what I mean. Anyways, Crypto get off your ass and get moving!"
"Damnit! … Bullshit!" Crypto yelled as he was getting dominated on TF2 by a stock Heavy named "gaming time".
"hah hah, you try to use hacks, but you get shot in head like JFK." "gaming time" taunted Crypto.
Crypto had enough, in a fit of rage he threw his laptop across the room and began to stomp on his laptop holder.
"Crypto, what the fuck did you just do?" Blisk asked.
"I threw my laptop against the wall." Crypto responded.
"What the fuck that was our only way out you asshole, when I find you, I swear to god I will mur…!"
The phone then disconnected as Blisk lost the signal.
"Well, I'm fucked!"
"Ok, now that we have lost our only laptop, we need to try and find a computer in this maze!" Rampart concluded.
"Well, where are we going to find one of those?"
"The mainframe of this place has to have an ethernet connection, Wraith mentioned that she had trouble connecting the holograms and had to use ethernet so that means…"
"Guys, look!" Seer shouted to the group.
They all looked in front of them to see a room materialize in front of them. They walked inside the room and saw something terrifying, something that shook them to their cores and made them want to cry in fear. In the room in front of them stood, their parents!
