Season 2 Chapter 12: Something is Coming
A/n: This right here is a hint at what's to come in the final act of this season. This may or may not be a long chapter. It honestly depends on how much motivation I have.
Aiden stared expressionless in the mirror combing his long shiny hair. Was he and Adam really doing the right thing? After all they barely knew a thing about Aaron. He seemed more kind hearted than cold blooded from what they were told.
Adam had been down in the basement for quite awhile to the point where it was concerning. "I think I should go check up on him.", Aiden thought gently setting the brush on the dresser.
He stood up from his seat and left his bedroom. Once in the kitchen he felt the ground shake violently beneath his feet. "What's he doing down there this time?", Aiden whispered unamused.
He approached the basement door and twisted the doorknob. The door opened with a loud creak and he entered the basement.
"Damn it all!", the voice of Adam shouted with anger. "Why can't I play this damn thing!?"
After finally reaching the bottom of the stairs, Aiden found his brother Adam seated at a black and white grand piano a few feet away from a beige bookcase. "What's the problem?", Aiden asked folding his arms and leaning on the wall behind him.
"The "problem" is, I don't know a damn thing about pianos.", Adam cursed.
Aiden let out a sigh and went over to the piano cracking his fingers, "Scoot over, let me do it."
Adam without really having anything say in the matter moved, allowing Aiden to have full access to the piano keys. Aiden carefully examined the notesheet to know what keys to press and what notes to pay attention to. "Moonlight Sonata, My favorite. This'll be easy.", He thought.
As Aiden played the piano taking pleasure in the music that hummed through the walls of the basement. The bookcase started to move and vibrate as it Aiden was almost to the end of the song.
After three minutes the bookcase fully changed it's position. It revealed a steel barred door that lead to a hidden room. "Thanks.", Adam begrudgingly said not locking eyes with Aiden. The door automatically slid open showing a flight of stairs on the other side.
"Come on, let's see the progress so far.", Adam said getting a nod Aiden.
-Underground Chambers (Lower Mantle of the Earth)-
A/n: Yes, they are actually in the Lower Mantle of the Earth.
The two progressed over a glass bridge which showed nothing, but darkness. It deeply bothered Aiden, but Adam was shrugging it off unsurprisingly. He was tough nut to crack that's for sure.
Upon reaching the automatic sliding doors at the end of the bridge the ended up in a much larger room. Documents were scattered across a research table. Aiden pulled down a lever hidden in a dark corner of the room.
Electricity was sent throughout the entire corridor bringing it to life. "Welcome Aiden and Adam De Vil.", a friendly robotic AI voice greeted.
"Good Afternoon Chell.", Aiden smiled.
"Good Afternoon to you as well.", Chell spoke with sincerity. "Is there anything that you two require today?"
"Can you show us the progress of our little project?", Adam hinted. A hologram of the Earth appeared before the two. "Chell, Zoom in."
The center of the Earth increased in size showing a gigantic sphere of dark energy encrusted in the mantle. There he was in all his glory, Grisvore.
So far the incubation process was at twenty percent. "So approximately how long would it take for the incubation of Grisvore process to conclude?", Aiden asked.
"Approximately a full week.", Chell answered.
Adam wasn't in any rush to awaken the beast. Aiden in the other hand wasn't comfortable at all with what they were planning. "What're are we doing exactly when this think wakes up?", Aiden questioned.
Adam gave Aiden an unsettling smirk before saying, "We're going to merge with Grisvore of course."
"What?!", Aiden asked dumbfounded and beginning to get nervous. There's no way he'd give up the free will of his own body to this "thing".
"Just think! We could become gods if we become one with Grisvore.", Adam ecstatically remarked. "We could shape this damn dunghill of a world into our owm image. Grisvore is our key to ascension don't you see?"
"Listen Adam, I'm not so sure I wanna go through with this anymore.", Adam finally spoke. "I mean our powers alone should be able to take down Aaron and everyone he cares about, I feel like this is starting to go overboard."
Adam frowned in disapproval and came face to face with his brother, "Don't tell me after all this time, you wanna back out. Success is only a week away and you wanna quit?"
"I'm beginning to feel like this isn't about Mom anymore!", Aiden stated.
"Don't bring Elaine into this!", Adam argued.
"See! You don't even call her Mom! You don't care about her!", Aiden accused. "I don't wanna be involved in this anymore. You can do what you want, but I'm out of here. I'm going back up to the surface."
Aiden didn't want to be involved with his "Brother" or world domination anymore. He'd rather be on the run for the rest of his life and try to murder someone he barely knew.
"Fine!, but don't expect any mercy from me when the time comes.", Adam threatened sending chills down Aiden's spine.
"Whatever man.", Aiden rolled his eyes shaking off the threat.
-The Dog Park-
Aiden watched all the children and people minding their own business. It's a shame that all of this will go away in a week. It made him question his existance and his purpose in the world other than to bringing it to pure chaos and destruction.
"Hello there."
He picked up his head to see a black and white furred Husky. He wore a grey turtle neck and dark blue jeans. He had a fluffy curled tail and the most piercing blue eyes.
"Who are you?", Aiden asked.
"My apologies, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Hansel.", He greeted shaking Aiden's hand. "I couldn't help, but notice you look quite familair."
"I'm Aiden.", He smiled. "Does that ring a bell?"
"Indeed it does. I believe I saw you perform here awhile back. I must say you have quite the talent.", Hansel complimented getting Aiden to cheer up a bit. "Do you mind if I sit here?"
"Of course not.", Aiden said.
