Asphyxious Hellbringer The Dragon Of Instinct.
Chapter 12: Midnight, Warp Gate And Getting A Call.
Previous Chapter Next Chapter***Asphyxious POV. Lab base.****
I looked around Dr Arkadius’s old base, the diamond dogs did well in remodeling the place, as well as burning anything that looked infected. It had been years for me, but only weeks for them. It made me think I should see Ava, and find out how her kids are doing.
I was walking around the new forging area. It was on level 3 as I call it. No need to put our most useful and most smoke and heat to be on the bottom floor. Also, I heard from the dogs they were still cleaning that place out with fire and bleach.
“Lord Asphyxious!” Yelled a Diamond Dog as he ran over to me. ‘I really wish they’d stop calling me lord’. I thought to myself as I walked up to the Dog. “It the gate room! A portal opened!”
After he said, that I rushed over there as fast as I could, using Ghost walk to bypass walls and floors to get there faster. Once I got there, I saw my dogs were already there, weapons at the ready fully armed and armoured. With Warjacks at the ready to kill anything that come though.
What came through the portal was not what I was expecting. What came out of the portal was Twilight. Or Should I say a Anthro Twilight, with dark purple armor that seemed to almost move. Purple wings sprouted from her back, and a horn sprouted from her head. Around her neck was a necklace, which had a slightly bloody white horn looped around it. White runes floated around her, the language unknown, but the symbols hurt to even look at. She was inside a large, see through room, and seemed calm as she sat in the center of it. What looked like cracks covered her face and armor, almost as if she was an ancient statue. When she opened her eyes, the eyes themselves were black, with a blank, blue iris, that constantly changed color. A strange symbol surrounded her left eye, seeming to look like a wisp of energy leaking from her eye.
“So, who are you, and how did you manage to remove the Tesseract Vault from the Iron Warriors Ship, while also killing them?” She asked, sitting up. “I have a war to return to, so make it quick.”
“Wow, easy, I don’t think you fully understand where you are. Also you're covered in scars.” I tell her as I noticed a tape recorder hanging on the big glass box. I take it off and press play.
“Hello again Asphyxious! You won’t believe what I got my hands on this time. This lovely girl had so much raw power! You won’t believe how many died before we could drug her. Anyway, I tried testing blight on her bad idea by the way, Had to cut off her leg before it could spread to the rest of her body. Turns out dragonblight tries to kill whatever she is, not turn. Interesting. We also failed to turn her into a broodmother, not sure why, I’ll keep looking into it. Anyways, now that we’re done with her I thought I’d leave you a gift, I hope she’ll try to kill you and all your little friends. I’ll also leave all my notes into the rest of this recording for you if you live. Bye!”
I stopped it before I could hear anymore. “I hate that guy…” I said, looking to Twilight to get her input on this.
“He tried to experiment on me many times. Turns out it's almost impossible to test on an immortal walking corpse. Though it was pretty fun messing with whatever he attempted to put in me. So, I'll ask again. Who are you?” She shrugged.
“My name is Asphyxious, I’ve dropped out of the war. I’ll see about calling your Displaced. What is his or her token?” I asked as I looked through my Echo. ‘How am I going to get her out of the box, I have no idea what it's even made of.’ I thought to myself while trying to find the right token.
“Well, his token doesn't exactly work anymore. Of course, I could just try and locate his allies. If I wasn't stuck in this stupid vault!” She growled.
“I got an idea, also don’t mess with the box you're in. We have no idea what Die Leucht did to keep you in there or traps.” I told her as I headed back home for the Jack nave beacon. ‘Maybe I can use that to get in contact with someone.’ I thought as I took the token out and headed back to my den.
“Oh, he didn't put me in here. The Iron Warriors did. Plus, I know what it is. A Tesseract Vault, an inescapable prison. And, should someone attempt to input the wrong password, the inside is lit alight with liquid promethium. Of course, I just regenerate, so even when he did attempt it, and failed, I survived the flames.” She sighed. “Still wonder how he got in and out….”
She sat up again. “Also, my name isn't Twilight. Not anymore. It's Midnight. Terribly unoriginal, I know. Didn't have any ideas.” She stated.
“Alright be right back.” I replied as I teleported back home.
It took me an hour but I finally got into contact with someone. Sadly they looked like one of the undead I made, only more robotic. “Hi… Can I speak to someone? It’s about Midnight, she’s stuck at my base with no way home so. Can you help?” I asked as the thing walked off. ‘Well at least they're better than Claptrap’s.’
“Alright, who the hell are you, and what the fuck did you mean when you said you found Midnight?!” A cyan and robotic mare growled, appearing in the image. A red eye gleamed coldly from her left eye, and her ears were these black pillar-ish things. Her cyan coat was slightly faded, and a rainbow mane covered most of her face. She was also slightly familiar.
“Look, she came through a warp gate made by a bunch of nut jobs who have had there way with her by a mad scientist. Just come over and take her home, I’m done with the Breach War so get here as soon as you can.” I told her, getting annoyed. It's the Crystal Empire all over again.
“Wait a minute...you're that guy who attempted to kill that Time Spinner guy! So what, you holding her hostage so you can force us to fight Time Spinner, is that it?!” She growled, ignoring me.
“No… Like I said, I’m done with the war, just come over and pick her up. I’ll be at Ghastly Gorge.” I said as I turned the coms off. I hated dealing with a Rainbow Dash like that. I then headed back to base, waiting for her to show up.
They showed up alright, and ready for a fight, to bad I’m the only one outside meeting them. What looked like an army of Rainbow Dash cyborgs lined up neatly, awaiting orders, while a small group of Space Marines sat to the side, and the mare from earlier stormed up to me.
“Someone has a power fetish.” I commented, waiting for RD to show up.
“Firstly, I do not have a power fetish. I am only prepared to destroy you should you try anything! Now hand over Midnight, or so help me I will disintegrate you myself!” She growled, pointing what looked like a simple gun forming out of her hoof and pointed at me.
“Whatever.” I said as the door to the underground base opened and a slayer walked out holding the glass box Midnight was in and put it down in front of them. “There, happy? Now take her home.” I said, giving them a small wave off.
“What the hell did you do to her?!” The mare growled, still pointing the gun at me as she inspected Midnight. “An Edo Tensei always heals it's wounds, so tell me just what did you do that caused those scars?!”
“Dr Arkadius, Who works for Die Leucht. I think you two would have a lot in common.” I said, crossing my arms.
“Excuse me?!” She growled, turning towards me. I just held up the tape and pressed play.
“I just found out why we couldn’t turn her into a broodmother! She’s an undead! Unlike anything I have ever seen before, oh I must find out how this works.”
“I’LL KILL YOU FOR THIS!” Screamed Midnight on the tape.
“Now now don’t be like that, we still have so much to see and do, Tell me, do you still feel pain? I want to test the G-virus on you and see if it works.” What was heard next was pain filled screams. I stopped the tape.
“He’s insane. And a danger to everyone, even displaced.” I said, calmly looking at her.
“I'll kill him!” She roared, snatching the tape. “Get Midnight out of here, and return to our world!” A group of the cyborgs walked over, grabbing the chamber and vanishing. The rest of the army vanished as well.
“Well, that was interesting, Good thing I made a copy of that tape.” I said as I headed back into my base. ‘Time to upgrade some warjack’s.’ I thought as I and the slayer went back into the base.
Once inside I go back to my human form and felt someone calling me. ’Why not I could use some time off.’ I thought as I walked into the portal as it opened up in front of me.
