Undyne still couldn't comprehend the fact that the Daybreaker was inside of this stable. She just was frozen in a fear that she hadn't felt before, a fear of inferiority. She just felt as if she would mess up somehow that zealous form of Celestia would destroy everything in her path including the home she'd fought for the most. Stainless then nudged Undyne's shoulder a bit, making her snap out of her spiral of dark thoughts.
"Hey, are you ok?" Stainless asked, looking at the petrified fish lady.
"Uh, yeah. It's just about that Daybreaker thing." Undyne halfway mumbled in a bitter tone.
"Oh, yeah, I didn't know that either. I'm sorry about that discovery." He said reassuringly.
Meanwhile, all the soldiers looked at the two with confusion. They started whispering to each other and talking amongst themselves. Most of them wondered what this "Daybreaker" was. Others asked what "soul jars" were. All the hushed gossip was interrupted by a small cough. The crowd of ponies turned their attention towards the one who coughed. It was Redeye. He looked at the ponies next to him and turned his head to each one, "Alright, what in Celestia's period is happening here?" he blurted out. The ponies started talking again, trying to figure out the best way to explain things to him. Then Undyne stood up and walked towards Redeye in a bent posture.
"On the tape we were listening to, it mentioned containing the wendigos in something called a "soul jar". She explained, trying to hide the fact that the Daybreaker was mentioned too.
"Oh, soul jars. I thought those were some old myth that zebras and ponies made up." He chuckled with surprise.
"Sir, what are they?" a dark green unicorn asked from the left corner of the crowd.
"Oh, they basically contain a soul in there. They can be any object, and most of the time they're used to keep the wearer from dying, but for some reason these soul jars are used to imprison."
The crowd started mumbling again. This time out of curiosity.
"Anyways, I have come to talk not about the soul jars, but rather what that lizard girl Alphys has found." Soon, from behind him, two henchman dragged out what appeared to be some humanoid robot with its legs torn out. The robot was white in color with his head being a curved rectangle with a blue line in the middle for an eye. Its body had a torso shaped like a vest with its arms looking more like a factory arm used to fix cars. As Undyne looked closer, on its head it had a label. "This is Dr. Samuel Hayden" it read in a cursive font.
"Alphys found this thing in the "teacher's only" room. We don't know why the teachers would have a legless robot in their room, but you guys can decide what to do with him." Redeye explained
Undyne then raised a hand. "I think he might be important, after all the scientists and doctors are the ones having the most technology and knowledge around here." She said trying to convince him.
Redeye squinted at her, then looked down at the robot. "Uh, sure why not. But you have to power him up somehow." After Redeye agreed to Undyne's decision, the slayer picked up the robot known as Hayden, and carried him towards the teacher's lounge. There he placed the machine where he originally was and connected him to a couple of wires that connected to a computer. Then Alphys charged up the device that was holding Hayden and watched the robot come to life.
"Ughhh, what happened? Where's the overmare?" the machine spoke with a confused but tired tone. It then looked at the group of armed dirty ponies and Undyne and sighed.
"Welp, I suppose that things would end up like this." The machine then looked at the slayer with a look of recognition. "Oh, I did not know you would be here slayer aren't you supposed to be gone since you lost your power because your duty was fulfilled."
Undyne then rushed up towards Haden with a look of confusion and shock. "Wait, what?!" Undyne was now shocked by his words. "What do you mean his power is gone?" she asked pleading in confusing.
"Well, he was the 32nd after all, and he fulfilled his duties by battling the armies of hell." Hayden remarked.
Undyne then stopped talking for a bit. First she was confused by the slayer losing his power. But why did Hayden mention hell?
"Hell? What's that partner?" Calamity asked just entering the room.
"Oh, I forgot, you guys call it a different name. I think, if I'm correct, you guys call it Tartarus." Hayden explained.
The brown Pegasus backed up a bit, his eyes turned to pinpricks and his facial expression showed confusion and anger. "Alright, what do you mean he fought off the forces of Tartarus?"
"I mean just that. He is the slayer after all. Each incarnation of the slayer is meant to defeat hell(or Tartarus)." replied Hayden.
The soldiers started murmuring anxiously after that confirmation. Undyne, on the other hand, was just confused. If the world was fake and just a mere creation from someone's imagination- then why is there an afterlife? But then Undyne started to figure out why. It was probably because it keeps characters from seeing what the world really was, it kept balance from fiction and reality. All of the talking stopped when a loud scratching could be heard from outside the teacher's lounge. One stallion slowly walked out, checking around each side of the hall. Then when he thought that it was just ambience, suddenly the wendigo slashed his neck with its claws. Undyne then stabbed the creature with her spear and brought it into the lounge, while restraining its arms and legs.
"Question, Hayden, is this a demon?" Undyne asked in a loud and demanding tone.
"No, I don't think it is. It could be, just I don't recognize it." The silver robotic scientist said when examining the screaming wendigo. Since Hayden didn't know what it was, Undyne put the creature out of its misery.
"Ok Hayden, you're coming with us because you know, you might be vital for this excursion." Undyne said lowering him down from the wires that held him. Alphys then, to keep Hayden alive, placed her stand next to him acting as a power outlet.
"So, Dr. Hayden, why were you contained in the teacher's lounge, of all places?" Stainless questioned Hayden.
"Well, it's quite the funny story. This wasn't actually my original place of containment. You see, some mare named Sugarcube snuck into the lab and busted me out. She then hid me in some bag and brought me to her office where she unknowingly forgot that someone else was in there, specifically a teacher, then they started arguing. The teacher and Sugarcube decided to put me in the lounge since they had one of those machines that basically helped powerup other robotic stuff like me."
Undyne then chuckled a bit at the story. But then she had a question of her own. "What do you remember the slayer doing, in his fight against hell?"
"Which one? The first, which I was with, or the thirty-two others?"
"The one you were with."
"Oh yeah, I first met the slayer when I was working at the UAC facility on Mars. It was on Mars because, well in my universe that's where hell was located. They didn't know what it was but they wanted to explore the pits. As you know, it got overrun by demons. Then I got a signal from where they were containing an abnormal human entity, known as the slayer. I suggested to them to shut down the facility before things got out of hand. Then I abandoned him, grabbing his crucible, which you nonearthlings don't know is a big contractable sword made out of argent energy, which is energy made from all the torment that happens down there. So I went back to Earth. Then three years later Earth was invaded by hell and I created something called the NAC, which is a collective group of the last leaders of the world and then yadda yadda all that stuff happened including him blowing some of the surface of mars up with a laser and ended up with him killing the dark lord of our universe, who was in fact was also the creator."
The group listening to Hayden's story just stared and blinked. Most of the ponies didn't understand why their god was also the god they opposed. They were also confused because they didn't understand the workings of his universe that well.
"Well Hayden, I think that's enough info for today. My brain is already starting to hurt." Undyne said strained.
