Slashur (Emotion - Insanity)
"I used to be innocent...everyone used to think that I was the happy-go-lucky humanoid watermelon who makes them laugh because of my mischief and my obnoxiously high-pitched voice...and then, I meet an unfortunate foe".
-Slashur
Slashur crawls across the ceiling of the castle, digging his bladed hands into the netherbrick as he makes his way over to Herobrine and Enderlox. The two beings of power watch in curiosity as the animalistic melon finds a path down a nearby pillar. He lets go mid-way and lands on his feet. He walks over to Herobrine and Enderlox, immediately recognizing the former Nether God and bows down to show respect.
"Master Herobrine...it is a pleasure to meet you", Slashur hissed in delight, looking up at the god. Herobrine looks down at the melon with a confused expression on his face before glancing over at Enderlox, who turns to him and nods.
"Yes, this is the watermelon's outcome when he got infected with the Taint. I was shocked as well, but he can prove worthy of joining the Dead Army", Enderlox explained, looking at the Tainted melon who glances up and stares at both him and the eyeless god.
"Very well...what Negative Feeling, Emotion, or Sin do you represent?", Herobrine questioned to the the humanoid fruit.
Slashur pulls himself into a standing position and explains proudly "I represent the Emotion of Insanity. I'll wreak havoc and madness to anything and anyone who stares to get in my way. And once everything is gone, I will drive who gets in my path into the very edge of insanity". The melon chuckles manically to himself as he runs his bladed hands across each other and sharpens them. Then, he states "Plus, I come bearing news about Sky and his friends".
"Which would be?", Herobrine asked unsurely, wondering if to believe what the monochromic melon is saying.
"They are on their way to Mount Foreverest to come into contact with someone, don't know who their name is, it kinda slipped my mind", Slashur answered, mentally frustrated with himself for forgetting a possible vital piece of infomation.
"Eh, makes sense. I did bite a chuck of his already-bitten head off before I corrupted him. I knew he would have memory problems", Enderlox pointed out, remembering back in the event where he was suppose to corrupt Amity, but Bashur had gotten in the way of his process and Tainted him instead.
"Wait a second!", Slashur exclaimed suddenly, making Herobrine and Enderlox focus their attention on him, thinking that he may have been able to remember something. However, the response isn't what they had hoped.
"...How in the Nether was I able to climb up a wall?", Slashur questioned, turning around to look up at the ceiling and entryway where he had entered through. Herobrine and Enderlox exchange glances with each other, Enderlox makes a circling gesture near his head with his finger to show how much Slashur has lost every ounce of sanity immediately after getting Tainted.
Herobrine turns back to the melon "Okay, Slashur, I think I've heard enough. We've already heard enough from you to come up with a hypothesis as to what Sky and the others are up to. In the meantime, help yourself to one of the main rooms in the upper level".
"Why, thank you, master. Whenever you need me, I shall be available...when I'm needed...to be needed", Slashur babbled on, then turns and climbs up a nearby pillar, reaching the top floor within seconds and jumps over the railing.
Once he is out of sight, Herobrine comments "I understand that the Taint is suppose to corrupt and change them into their opposites, but he is over-the-line mentally unstable".
"He was already crazy, now he's just practically psychological insane. As much of a nuisance that I think he might be to us, he does represent an Emotion and even those are more vital to us like Sins. Negative Feelings could be better", Enderlox mentions.
"Indeed. Right now, the only thing I have to worry about is Sky and his friends reaching Mount Foreverest. No doubt that they are trying to get into contact with Regina", Herobrine pointed out, turning away from his first creation and walks towards a large window, glancing out and seeing an entire army of Dead Army soldiers.
Enderlox walks up to stand beside him and exclaims "That's ridiculous. Didn't you tell me that Regina is the Valkyrie Leader? That's basically her job!"
"Yes, but she has much more than leadership on her shoulders, Enderlox. Before I got banished into the Nether, she was well-known around the Aether for creating the most complex and fascinating antidotes for incurable poisons that existed during the Cold Age, to which majority of them have gone extinct. No shadow of a doubt in my mind tells me that she has the cure for the Taint. If Sky and the others reach her and use the cure on everything that's Tainted, from vegetation to human life, our entire plan will fall apart", Herobrine explained throughly before looking away from the window to gaze at the dragon hybrid, who looks back at him.
"So, what do you want me to do? Basically attack and Taint all of his friends and in the end, Adam? Although I must say, I am getting rather bored with the long process it takes to corrupt a person from their conscious. Having to travel back and forth through time isn't easy", Enderlox grumbled, baring his teeth in agitation.
"Well, you don't have to worry about that anymore. You see, I've been reading some of your blood samples as of recently, and you're starting to show signs of reaching your secondary form soon", Herobrine stated proudly, much to Enderlox's surprise and hope.
"Really? Yes! Finally! I'll be even more stronger than before!", Enderlox praised out, so thrilled to hear that he will be reaching his secondary form. Then, he glances up at Herobrine with determination waving through his eyes and asks him "So, what's the plan gonna be about Sky?"
"Well, the cure that Regina might have for the Taint can only be used by a god, to which Sky happens to be. With Notch out of the picture, it'll be a piece of cake. What I want you to do is capture the remaining people of Sky's group, bring them back here, and deal with the rest. I have developed new methods of Tainting them, quick and effectively. Once Sky is all alone, capture him and bring him back...dead or alive", Herobrine described, picturing images in his head of the ways he is going to torture all of Sky's friends slowly and in the end, Taint them to the point where they will instantly corrupt themselves without Enderlox's assistance.
"Excellent, Master. In the meantime, I'm going to consume as much Taint as I can until I reach my secondary form. And eventually, my final form will come and I will be the most powerful being to exist in the world, maybe even in the whole universe!", Enderlox preached, cackling evilly afterwards.
"Well, second behind 'cause that title belongs to me", Herobrine pointed out, to which causes Enderlox to end his laughter with a shocked look. He glances over at Herobrine, tilting his head in confusion.
"Yes, unfortunately, I happen to have more power than all of the Dead Army soldiers combined, plus the current sinners that exist out there. Of course, you don't mind that, do you?", Herobrine questioned.
"Eh...no, of-of course not, Herobrine. After all, you were the one who created me, so even that is more than what I can do", Enderlox unsteadily responded, letting out a weak chuckle in the end.
"Good. I'm glad that we're in agreement with each other. Anyway, I must be off. DeadlyVenom is contacting an experiment with CyberCanadian, something about upgrading him into Cyber 2.0. I must be there to see if everything goes without a hitch. As soon as I'm done, I'll be back to give you your first task", Herobrine stated before turning his body slightly to face the door that enters deeper into the castle. Enderlox just nods silently and watches as his master walks away and goes through the door. But seconds later, Enderlox lowers his eyes into a intense glare, growling in his throat as he is extremely enraged. Moments later, his view is obscured by the face of Slashur, who appears with his head upside-down.
"BALLS!", Slashur yelled out, much to Enderlox's fright as the dragon hybrid jumps backwards from the melon.
"Nether!", Enderlox yelled out, shaking for a moment before realizing that Slashur is hanging upside-down from the ceiling of the upper level hallway, a white web-like substance spread out across the wood. Slashur hangs onto the web as if it was rope.
Enderlox regains his stance before questioning "How long were you up there?"
"Oh, pretty much all, including to the point where you just got pissed off for no reason when Herobrine left", Slashur exclaimed insanely, giggling a bit through his sentence. "Want to tell me what that was about?"
Enderlox replies "It was nothing. I'm just frustrated with the way things are going so slowly right now. Enough of me! How in the Nether did you create that web...you know what...I don't even wanna know".
