Obsessions
THIS GOES OUT TO YOU INVENTOR-7!
edit:...again...
STORY IS NOW!
It was a bar. A simple bar really, nothing special. The group passed down one on the way and Mite decided to take his first (technically) drinks. The bar let them through despite them being way underage. He brought a couple of drinks and gave it to the group who were camping outside and went back in to drink by himself to prepare himself for leadership skills (Bell was more of a leader than he was). He sat by a chair, drinking a small glass cup. He then heard someone scoot over next to him.
"Is this seat taken?" Mite saw a man who looked old enough to drink, he had combed silver hair, wore a dark gray shirt with black pants and a ridiculously oversized belt, he also had these especially emerald and silver eyes that seemed to pierce his very soul.
"Not at all." The man sat down and ordered two whiskeys.
"One for me and one for my friend." Mite winced at the fact he was pointing at him. The bartender nodded and went away to get the drinks.
"I know this seat isn't worth another glass-"
"Shut it and listen to my story." The man said suddenly and Mite was stooped on how much this man is stereotyping the bar-story scenario.
"And who are you?"
"Name is Professor Quigi S. Luigi."
"That is awfully long for a name and stupid." Mite replied but then the man took out a very large gun which Mite flinched at, "On second thought, tell me your story!"
"Well...my comrades from the war that happened quite awhile ago."
"Still happening right now-" Mite was silenced by the gun again.
"As I was saying, it happened a year ago..."
"Professor!" A student came up, they were on a ship in a green wasteland with a green sky.
"Yes?"
"We have a word from Dexter...again." Quigi muttered something under his breath.
"Tell Dexter I am still doing my research on this planet."
"But professor! We must head back to Earth! We are running out of supplies and-"
"Professor! We got another one!" Another apprentice came by, holding a body of another apprentice.
"Who is it?" Quigi asked gravely.
"Nina, sir." The student bowed his head at the body, "Asthma."
"Dump her into her Fusion Matter ocean. Like everyone we do for the sake of everyone's sanity." The apprentice nodded and went away with the body and tossed it overboard and into the Fusion Matter waters.
"See sir! We are losing too much! We should call an emergency ship and-"
"We mustn't! Do you know how long it will take until Fuse decides to gobble up our homes!? We must remain researching on Planet Fuse to prevent that to happen!" Quigi angrily yelled. The apprentice was silent until he spoke again.
"Then alright sir. We shall not stop you but if we do all die. Say I'm right." The apprentice took his leave as the head researcher kicked his foot on the wooden board repeatedly.
"Maybe I am doing this a bit too much." Quigi said to himself as he began walking around his office in deep thought. The apprentice was right, they had extreme difficulties the moment he mentioned this idea to Dexter. Researching on Planet Fuse of all places? That sounded stupid but smart. Dexter hesitantly gave him the funding and crew. The instantly ran out the supplies the first week for various undisclosed reasons. They were staying there for a month now and many took the easy way out. They had to build a room specially for the rope. More than half of the crew were dead.
"No! I gotta find enough research and make sure those fiends never get the Earth!" He then looked at his watch and adjusted it, a yellow aura occurred around him as his fists were now wanting to jump.
"Sir?" Another scientist peeked out at him.
"What?"
"Scanners are working again. Picked up something." Quigi adjusted his watch again and a green aura appeared and he ran with super fast speed.
"Dammit, he's doing it again." The apprentice muttered a went after him.
"Sir." It was the scanner room with a large computer screen. The last few apprentices were inside.
"Yes?" Quigi came into the room, the aura stopped glowing around him.
"Well, we have discovered traces of life nearby. We are awaiting your approval to search." Quigi nodded and an apprentice went towards the control room. When they reached it, one began moving the steering wheel of the ship towards the destined area. Quigi hoped that this wasn't a trick so they could meet up rescuers who were secretly contacted but nevertheless was excited his research was progressing for the first time in months.
"We're here, lowering the claw." At the window, a large metallic claw began lowering onto the Fusion Matter sea and the chain pushing it down stopped and began pulling itself up again.
"What the-" The entire research team winced when they saw what object was being pulled up. The next thing they knew, they were all in the deck of the ship where the claw was lowering the object.
"Is that a-" The object pulled up in question looked like one of those pods from Fuse back at Earth but was fairly more oval-shaped than the ones back at home.
"Are you guys sure this is it?" Quigi poked his gun at the pod until an apprentice came up to him.
"Sir, we have calculated that there is a partially constructed form of life within the pod." Quigi then realized what it meant.
"Oh, it is an egg!" He stopped poking it and examined it.
"Then what shall we do with it?"
"We shall study it for an hour most, the mother will mostly be angered if we keep here but we shouldn't dump it immediately. We should examine it before then."
"Of course sir." The apprentice bowed and headed back to a room where he brought out a scanner.
It was at least twenty minutes later after the scanning-thing, they decided to dumb the egg back to where they started for safety.
"Steer the ship out of the way! I'm sure the mama won't be too happy a ship is next to the nest." The ship then steered away from the area, a mild distance away from it. Quigi grabbed some binoculars and looked at the area from a distance. He then saw a dark green fin came out from the water.
"Oh boy, here she comes." He then looked and saw a humongous whale/shark came out of the water and used its hand-like flippers to grabbed the egg. Quigi then looked and saw it raise the egg into the air.
Before gobbling it to pieces.
Quigi then wiped his eyes from seeing what he was seeing and looked at his binoculars again to see the Fusion was literally chomping down on its young's unborn body which made him shiver in fear.
The whale the glared at him.
"Oh shi-" Seeing the Fusion dive into the water and the only thing that was visible was the fin.
It was heading straight at them.
"No you don't!" He then pressed his watch and a purple aura happened around him and began sniping the fin with extreme accuracy. After a couple more rounds, a large echoing scream erupted from the Fusion and the whale did what a dolphin would do, jump out of the water but this time it was ready to ram the ship.
"GAH!" Out of instinct, Quigi switched his watch yet again and a gray aura appeared around himself the exact moment the Fusion tackled the, seemingly smashing it to a million pieces. It raised his defense by nine million more than his own body and made him resist most of the damage head on but not can be said for most of his crew.
"Shoot! Speed!" He then adjusted his watch to the SPEED setting and began running incredible fast at the surviving crew. He saw one nearly fall into the Fusion Matter ocean and ran towards him before he can fall in and grabbed his hand. Quigi saw the lifeboat (very cybernetic) fell onto a platform and tossed him into it. The platform beneath it sank below it and the boat was safely floating on the sea.
"Help!" He saw another scientist standing on a piece of debris sinking and Quigi set his watch to JUMP and he began jumping on the falling debris to the the scientist's aid and grabbed him before anything could happen. He then jumped back onto the ship and placed the exhausted scientist next to the unconscious one.
"NYA!" He heard another scream and saw somebody was knocked into the the air by the Fusion's ram and Quigi went after her, using both JUMP and SPEED to get her while she was midair, he then ran back to the boat and placed her on it. The ones who were awake were not greeted to a pleasant sight of the boat sinking in the toxic ocean. Kinda horrible since most of the crew were dead as of now. Quigi then saw a familiar looking fin heading towards the lifeboat.
"STEP ON IT!" The debris scientist went to the controls and the lifeboat began driving away at full speed. The Fusion also became faster, to the point water was being thrown all around. Everyone was hanging onto something.
"Enough!" Quigi took out a firecracker launcher and aimed it towards the fin. He was waiting for the right chance.
Suddenly, the Fusion jumped out of the water, attempting to jump at them but Quigi fired the sparkled into its mouth. The Fusion stopped in the air but was immediately hit with fire coming out of its mouth and collapsed back into the water. The tail fin was spasming intensely before stopping all together. The driver stopped the ship and looked at the fish along with everyone else.
"It is over, finally it is over." Quigi lied on the lifeboat as tears and sweat flowed from his eyes. His eyes darted toward the green sky that he hated so much.
"Soon after, we sent a rescue ship to pick up us up, all research loss to us." The flashback ended and Quigi gulped his wine down as Mite looked in shock on how brutal the story is.
"And how are you-?"
"I'm still a scientist, now an alcoholic." Quigi drank through several rounds during that story, the bar was littered with the glasses, "I learned something that day."
"What was it?"
"War leads to fear, leads into obsession, leads to mistakes." Quigi signed, "Seen it first hand." The two remained silent for a moment until Mite spoke.
"I'll pay for your drinks." He handed him a wad of money before getting out of his chair and walking away from the bar. Before he can close the door, he took a glance at the man who had seen too much before closing the door.
Mite wished he hadn't closed it.
"Hey Mite~" Came out a drunk Bell with a bottle of beer. She just came up to him and licked his cheek much to his horror.
"Bell, what the fu-"
"C'mon Mite! Enjoy the party!" She pointed towards the group, Aya was chomping down a tree drunk, ManBearPig was eating dirt from the floor, Garfield was dancing like a hillbilly and GIR...was still GIR unsurprisingly.
"Okay, too much drinks, gotta get you to the car."
"NO! You can't make me!"
"Yes I can!"
"NOPE!"
"Bell!"
"NYAAAAAAAAAAA!"
SEE YOU GUYS NEXT CHAPTER.
