Plez sit back, relax, read, review, and enjoy the second chapter of…………………………………552 vs Psyche: A true battle of the Minds.
_____________________________________________________________________________
=Psyche's POV=
I was nowhere, but I was everywhere. Floating in darkness in no direction…Well, that's not true. I knew where I was going. I was going to a place where I was the unknown ruler. It was my playground, my realm. Only a few people know of this place and it is known as "Thoughtland". Where I am now is known as Limbo. A place thought to be between the space of Heaven and Hell. In reality, Limbo is in between everything, every dimension. In order to get anywhere, you have to know how to move in this kind of space. You move with thought. I looked up and saw a speck of light in the distance.
*Finally.* I thought.
I was almost there. No matter how many times I travel, being in Limbo gave me the creeps. So naturally, I was very glad to leave. Suddenly, I was yanked backwards and returned to my body, as someone brought me to consciousness. I opened my eyes and saw someone was shaking me.
"WAKE UP! WAKE UP! YOU'RE MISSING EVERYTHING!!" He yelled out, impatiently.
When I became fully conscious, I grabbed him tightly by the neck, making sure to choke him, but not to kill him.
"Do you know how close I was to Thoughtland!?" I yelled. "YOU KNOW NEVER TO INTERUPT ME WHEN I'M GOING TO THOUGHTLAND!"
He coughed and gasped for air as I choked him and he pulled my hands off his neck. He sighed.
"That is such a stupid name for that place. You know, I don't think that place exists. I think you're going crazy and you're dreaming."
I sat up in my bed, crossed my arms and legs, and tried to get comfortable again.
"Believe what you want. I think you're just in denial that your friend can travel between dimensions and enter peoples' minds. Either that or, you're just jealous. Now, if you'll excuse me. I have a journey to restart." I closed my eyes and began meditating again.
"Well, if you want to go to Thoughtland and miss out on a chance to meet guys then that's fine with me. It's no fur off my back."
My eyes shot wide open. I hopped off the bed and stood next to him.
"Guys? You mean new ones? Please, explain." I said, beginning to get excited.
"Do you remember Jumba Jookiba?"
"Yea, one of Dr. Mercy's colleagues. What about him?"
When I asked this, his face lit up. He loved knowing about everything. He's such a gossip. This guy's name was Sonar and as his name suggests he has power over sound. His fur was orange. Sonar had 5 large dark blue spot, 4 arms, 3 antenna, 2 eyes, and 2 legs. 2 antennas hung on the left side of his head and one on the right. Did I mention he likes to gossip?
"Well, I heard," He began. "That the Galactic Federation found out about his experiments."
"No!" I said surprised.
"Yes! And right before they could catch him, he escaped. He grabbed like 200…maybe 250, of his experiments and came here."
"Oh no! Won't the Feds find us if they are looking for him?"
"Nah, Doc Mercy has this place pretty secure. They'll never find it. Unlike Jookiba, we don't have our lab actually on Turo."
"Idiot."
"I know." We left the room.
"He should have built it on a deserted asteroid, like the Doc did." I added.
"I know."
"How many experiments did he have?"
"626."
"Wow, and only like 200 got away."
"No, like 50 got away. 200-250 are here."
"Oh, where are they?"
"The auxiliary kitchen, wanna go see? I heard Jumba's are created for physical combat. Maybe you can finally get a strong mate and I can get one period."
"Yea, that sounds good."
We left the room and made our way there.
Dr. Artemis Mercy was a brilliant man. He modified creatures to control things that didn't have physical substance, like sound, time, and, in my case, thought and the mind. With this kind of power, most of his experiments' energy is invested into their brains, and their physical strength is neglected. So, they're not that strong nor do they usually produce strong children. I was going to have a child once, but it didn't turn out well, not well at all and I'm kind of on the look out for a better mate.
We stepped into the auxiliary kitchen. It was a two floor room and we were on the second floor looking down over the railing. Sonar climbed into the railing. Down below us was a mess, a big loud mess. Experiments were running around all over. Some were crying. Some were screaming. Others were laughing and others still were sitting in isolation.
Sonar breathed in the air deeply and giggled.
"Oh man, there are so many males down there and not a lot of females. Oh yea! The odds are looking good in our favor, Psyche."
I wasn't really listening to him. I was watching the bedlam below us.
"Order is so precious, isn't it Sonar? One little thread in their lives become unraveled and their whole world collapses into chaos…glorious chaos." I looked at Sonar who stared at me like I had three heads.
"You're a freak, you know that? And their home is the only place they know. I think it's a little more that a little thread. I mean, not all of us can travel between dimensions, like some people I know." He said, looking at me, with plenty of attitude in his eyes
*One day I'm going to kill him and no one will care.* I thought, without remorse.
"Anyway, look at that guy over there, the red one with the orange stripes…He's pretty hot."
I looked to where he was looking and I agreed. Then, I looked at Sonar. He was giggling and pointing to all the guys he thought were hot. I shook my head, turned and headed toward the door.
"Hey." Sonar called after me. "Where are you going? There are so many guys we have to scope out!"
"I can never get used to guy-scoping with you, Sonar. It feels funny."
He jumped off the railing and followed me out the door. We began to walk down the hall.
"Why?" He asked. "We've been friends since you were created. I would have thought you had gotten used to me liking guys instead of girls by now."
"I am, but…I don't know…I still feel a bit awkward about it."
"Understandable I suppose…It's not like I can help it though. I really think I was programmed to be this way. It's the Doc's choice."
"Are you sure? You didn't choose to be that way?"
"I'm positive. We should ask him one day."
We passed a door that had a "Do Not Enter" sign on it. It took me a second to realize it.
"I did. He wouldn't tell me." I stopped walking when the signed registered in my brain.
"What's wrong?" Sonar asked.
I turned and looked at the door. "Has that sign always been there?"
Sonar looked at the door with a curious expression upon his face. "I don't know… If it has been, I've never noticed it."
I walked up to the door and I saw it was shorter than the doorway. I bent down to take a look under the door. Since I couldn't see anything but the floor, I sniffed the air to try to figure out what was in there.
"Do you smell anything? The suspense is killing me."
"I wish it was." I said, standing up. Sonar wrinkled his nose at me.
"Well…?"
"All I could gather from scent is that there is a very strong male in there with the faint scents of a female and another male. He's one of the strongest I've ever smelled."
"Really?" Sonar hit the floor and moved his head toward the space under the door. He opened his mouth, closed it and moved his head so his ear was at the space.
"You doing that sonar thing, Sonar?"
"Yea, and I don't hear that irregular shape of an experiment. What I heard was round…like a bubble or a bowl."
"Hmm, weird."
Like I said before, Sonar has power over sound. One of his powers is sonar. It's like what a bat uses to get around. They make a sound and the sound wave bounces off of stuff, coming back to their ears. This is how they know something's there. They hear it, but Sonar's sonar ability is so fine-tuned that he can tell the exact shape of an object by hearing different parts of the sound wave. (A/N if you didn't get this explanation, go find a science book or watch the movie Daredevil. I highly recommend the latter.)
"Oh, wait, speaking about the Doc, that reminds me."
"It reminds you now? We stopped talking about him like 10 years ago"
"Shut up. Dr. Mercy wanted to see you. That's why I woke you up."
We began walking toward his office. Suddenly, I felt my intuition tugging at me, as if to give me a warning. Usually the warnings are well founded.
"So, what does he want with me?" I asked, a bit nervous.
"I don't know. I'm just the messenger."
We soon arrived at the door. Sonar stepped to the side of the door way and motioned for me to go in.
"I'm going to stay here. He only asked for you."
