Ok so I apologize in advance because this will most likely be a shorter chapter and I probably won't post the one after this one till Sunday 3/8 and I've decided to hold off on the time skip for a while sorry to the people that wanted it and I guess congrats to the people that didn't, cya at the end of the story
I stood at the door that lead to the FWC lounge and griped the handle tightly "Let's see what this is all about..."
-flashback of last night-
As I'm walking out of the door to Jav's place I hear a thump and guess he fell on the floor since he could barely stand from after the whole bar scene and I had to drag him home.
"Jeez Jav"
I put my hands in my pockets and start walking back to the elevator of the tower.
Pushing the button to go to the 32nd floor it lights up and I breathe in the stale artificial air.
I stand there for half a minute and the doors start closing when a guy runs face first into it, yelling at me
"THE END IS COMING, DEATH IS NEAR, THE DARKNESS IS TAKING PLUTO AS WE SPEAK AND WILL ONLY KEEP COMING, WE HAVE TO BUILD A WAY OFF THIS ROCK AND ESCAP-" then he was shut up when two guys dressed in purple, blue, salmon, and yellow tackle him and stick him with a needle.
He goes limp and they carry him into the elevator, nodding silently at me.
I freeze not knowing what to do as one of them pushing the button to the roof.
The elevator stops at my floor and I get off quickly and enter the elevator next to me pressing the button for the roof, deciding to follow them and find out more.
After about a minute of waiting the door opens up and I see the two men carry the other one into a door across the courtyard.
Without thinking I rush after them and enter the door quickly and silently.
On the other side of the door I see nothing but darkness and all is quiet...to quiet I think.
I creep along the wall and see a window.
I look through and see a inside room with a huge machine taking up half the room and at the end of it there seems to be a place to put a head.
The two men carry the unconscious one in and lie him down on the table and hook the top of his head to the machine.
My eyes widen as what I see next is horrible, the man start shaking and foaming the mouth with white eyes and then he goes limp and is removed from the table.
"Excuse me I don't think you're supposed to be here..."
I turn around fast and see a female exo (don't know how they have genders but whatever) with a pink and yellow face and a slender form. Her eyes glowing light blue and she appears to have no weapon on her but I still don't trust her...
"What happened to the man, did he die, why was he yelling at me, and who are you people?"
"We... Are Future War Cult and what happened to the man was precisely what you saw, he died but before that he took a chance..."
"What kinda chance?" I say while glaring at her not liking any of this.
"That machine down there," she moves next to me and stares out the window and at the machine. "It allows you to see the most likely outcome of your future... It drives some insane and we have to capture them and eliminate them..." She says with sadness in her voice.
Do robots feel sadness? I think "but if what you're saying is true then this machine could be used for many things, why is it hidden?"
"Most senior guardians know of it but not of its whereabouts because while they see the potential of it they can also see danger and some would like to see it destroyed."
She starts walking away and pauses to ask "What do you think?"
-flashback end-
I gulp and open the door slowly to reveal FWC banners across the room, colored couches, and a large window that overlooks the hanger bay.
I walk up to the same exo from last night and say "I want to take the chance..."
She nods slowly "follow me" she orders and walks to a hidden back door behind some banners.
We walk down a dark corridor and open a door on the right to reveal the same room from last night except this time I'm going to be the one using the machine.
"Lie down on the table and I'll get it set up but before we start why do you wanna do this so badly?"
"I have to know what the future holds, I can't explain it but something's been off since the beginning and I have to figure it out"
"Very well" she whispers while lowing the base to my skull.
I feel it wrap around my head and then... Nothing...silence...darkness...then I light, a figure standing on a black cliff overlooking a huge hole in the ground glowing green with fog creeping out of it slowly.
The figure has a ghost floating around it, I'm guessing he's a guardian.
From what I can tell by the armor he's a warlock but something's off...
He stands there silent...
The air cracks and he's engulfed in green flames rotting away his armor and replacing it with something more sinister and dark.
The armor has a faint green glow and is made of a mix between onyx and bones.
He has a green glowing bond made of bones and a cold stare as he overlooks the moon.
He raises a hand and shouts "RISE" in a chilling and rasping voice but somehow I felt like I should know this person.
Aliens with bones for skin and claws bursting with arc energy crawl out of hole in the millions.
The figure laughs and removes his helmet revealing his short red hair, light freckles, and green eyes... A chill runs down my spine as I realize it's me...
He turns and fires a bolt of green flames at me and the vision is gone.
I wake up in a panic, sweating and pull the thing off my head and run out the room.
Whelp that does it for now, sorry it's short and I know I'm posting this the same day as chapter 2 but I really wanted this to get out cuz I won't be able to post tomorrow and maybe on Sunday I guess we'll see. Adios amigos
