The Nine Worlds Of Omega
Chapter 38: Chapter 38 The Cure
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThe elevator jolts a little slowing itself to come to a full stop at the -17 floor. Once we arrived at the floor the doors open show a hallway with walls made out of steel and the floor made out of concrete.
Once everypony is off, I lead the way to the freezer where the medicine is located. Minutes later there are set of double doors made from wood and four flag polls on both sides of the doors. One of them as the Equestrian flag. But this flag doesn’t look like the one they seen many times before. This flag is a more rectangular shape in the design but everything that on the other flag is this there from the seal of the two sisters and the stars around the seal. “What is an Equestrian flag doing here?” Bon Bon thought to herself before seeing the other three flags.
One of them is silver for the base and background. There’s a wheel in the middle looking like it’s still in motion. The colors are purple and white. I know what that flag means to me.
The second one is different from the others. Because it, as three colors make up its design and those colors, are red, white, and blue. The red and white are made into stripes 5 each going one after another. The blue is on the upper left or right dep ins on which way you're looking at it. It’s a square with a white star taking up most of the square.
The last flag is very different from the other three. Because the background is black with the ten strange symbols that they have seen so far and the ones that let to be seen with a gray wheel that only Celestia and Luna as seen before on the Piece of Omega.
“James, what is behind this door?” Luna asks me. “That room isn’t ready yet.” I answer her question making Celestia think to herself.
“How big is this place.” Celestia thought to herself. Before the group made our way to the freezer.
Moments later.
The group arrived at the freezer where Agent Undercover is waiting on us. There’s a door looking more like a bank vault than a freezer, tans standing 4 to 6 ft high with coolant and liquid nitrogen on them connected to the room.
“Boss what kelp you?” He asks me. “You remember the blue box in the archives?” I answer his question with one of my own. “Yes, why do you ask?” He asks me. “Well, we found the owner.” I tell him. “Well then; Way are we at the freezer again?” He asks me. “We need access to the serum.” I answer him taking a set of keys from my pocket and open and lock box next to the door and pulling out two keys thicker then I have on me and handing one of the keys to him.
He when to the other side of the vault and a keyhole and put it in. I do the same on my end. “On my mark, three, two, one, mark.” I said out loud making both of us turn our keys at the same time make a keypad pop up on my end and palm scanner.
I put in the code and put my right hand on the scanner; the scanner slowly scans my hand before making the locks and hitches undid themselves. I turn the knob and pull making the cold air come out and what looks like fog to come out as well hitting the floor as I open the door. I when inside Celestia and Luna follow me into the fog bank.
Inside there is shelf upon shelf filled with metal crates; each one weighing at least 50 pounds. Luna can fell the cold car going through her thanks to the fans going inside on the roof. “James, how cold do you keep in here?” She asks me as I pull one of the creates. “At least -25oC.” I answer her opening the create and pull out one of the needles.
“Is that it?” Celestia asks me seeing the needle in my hand. “Yelp, this is it.” I answer getting a closer look at it when everypony else came through the fog bank. I put the needle back into its slot and close the create.
“Agent, can you bring some platforms?” I ask him. “Sure boss.” He answers left to get the platforms to load the creates on too.
Everypony else walk inside for does seeing this for the first time and feeling cold air hitting them. “I should have remembered my jacket.” Octavia said out loud feeling go through her like a blade. “I know how you feel Tavi.” Vinyl tells her felling the same thing going through her.
Seconds later Agent came back with four platforms to load the creates on. “Now, I need to concentrate.” I said getting myself ready for the task at hand; I close my eyes and clear my mind of all thoughts making the mark on the side of my neck starting to glow as well both my hand. Creates on the shelves start to move on their own onto the platforms next to me. Those see this for the first time are in a state of shock seeing those creates weighting 50 pounds flying through the air without the use of magic.
“How is possible, that he using magic?” Celestia thought to herself seeing what going in front of her eyes.
“THAT IS SO AMSOME!” Vinyl said at the top of her lungs seeing the creates flying through the cold air before landing on the platforms next to me.
Moments later with the platforms loaded more than enough medicine for everypony in Ponyville with each one weighing nearly 200 pounds. I open my eyes again letting out a deep breath as well the used up energy of my elemental powers to die down. Agent, Destiny, Pinky, and myself push the loaded platform into the hallway with everypony else following close behind escaping the cold air from the freezer.
I stopped my platform feeling my back where the old rods are starting to hurt. It feels like I'd been shot in the back with a 22 caliber bullet. I when over to close the freezer door feeling the pain get to me as I close the door and lock it up. Destiny and Pinky can see the pain I going through and Destiny abandons her platform to try to help me.
“Dad, you’re alright?” She asks me. “No, I’m not.” I answer her. “How bad is it?” She asks me again growing concern about it. “Right now, it feels like been shot with a 22 caliber from a handgun next to my back.” I answer her question making jump action opening one the creates and get one of the needles as I when to sit down with Nurse Redheart help on the floor next to the platform she is at.
She opens the cap of the needle and twists the other end to the full dose. “Destiny don’t.” I try my best to tell through the pain. “Dad, I know what I’m doing.” She tells me sticking the needle the side of my neck; letting the serum go into the bloodstream getting to where it needed the most.
Destiny pops the cap back on the needle and put it in a nearby bean. “How are you feeling?” Redheart asks me. “There something wrong; the serum is taking longer than normally would.” I answer trying to getting up from the pain before falling back down to the floor trying to get a hold of the nearest thing which is a platform.
“DAD!” Destiny shouted trying to catch me with Nurse Redheart help. I was breathing heavy by this point. Pinky can see that I’m not doing alright it was like the first time when she and her friends seen this happen.
I get a hold myself to at else try to talk. “Vinyl, Lyra you’re going have to push the platforms with I wouldn’t be able to with the way my back is hurting and Destiny is going to have to help me to get back on my feet.” I the both of them, making them use their magic on the platforms making them feel very light like it didn’t weigh anything at all.
“Pinky, I need you, Agent, Lyra to go on ahead.” I tell them making Pinky worry about my well being. “Honey?” she tries to ask me before I cut her off. “Go, the elevator can’t take all of us and the cargo at once.” I tell her.
Seconds later the three of them with their platforms made their way to the elevator as the slowly made our way there. Destiny takes my right arm and throws it over her head with Nurse Redheart helping her out the other side of me.
Vinyl uses her magic on her platform and Bon Bon wounder way unicorn magic can lift or move something as heavy those platforms. “Vinyl?” Bon Bon asks her. “Yes.” Vinyl respond. “I always wonder that this from the power of unicorn magic and why you and Lyra are not having problems pushing them?” She asks her friend. “I’m guessing, I got used to when I first start using it when I was a filly.” She answers to her friend. “Let me see if I can push it? Bon Bon asks her friend making Vinyl to let go of the platform so her friend to have a go at it.
Bon Bon gets behind the platform putting her front legs on the platform and give a push slowly making the wheels turns. “Oh sweet Celestia, this weights as much as you said it does.” She tells me. “I told you aren’t light.” I tell her making stop trying to push and Vinyl take over again.
Moments later at the elevator.
Pinky is standing there waiting on shocking me because her platform is still there with her; when we got there. “Pinky, what are you doing?” I ask her. “Just I told you. I’m not leaving you. Plus, we’ll go to hell and back for each other.” She answers my question. “I remember that; because it was in our wedding vows.” I tell her about making her kiss me. “We already did.” She tells me breaking the kiss.
“They must really love each other to put that in their wedding vows?” Chrysalis thought to herself seeing the love going in front of her.
“Where’s Agent and Lyra?” I ask Pinky. “They when on ahead.” She quickly answers me before hitting the button to call the elevator. “Good.” I said taking a deep breath.
Once the elevator doors open and the platforms as well everypony else on board; me, Destiny, and Nurse Redheart were the last ones left to get on. “Put me here.” I tell them putting me next to the controls leaning me on the wall.
Once the elevator starts to move I begin to feel sick to my stomach and barf something that even shocks me; what came was strange looking energy with a purple hue to it. “Well, that never happen before.” I Said out loud seeing the energy slowly when away.
The doctor sees this and he knows about to happen and thought to himself. “He going to regenerate. But it every different then I do it. Must be that element he gotten years ago in his timeline.” He thought to him as I barf up more of that strange energy.
“James, what’s going on?” Luna asks me I get a hold of myself to answer her. “I don’t know, but it feels like I’m dying and the Storm element is trying to keep me alive; I guessing.” I said trying to catch my breath making me to remove my sunglasses and open my eyes shocking Pinky and Destiny. Because for my whole life were green. From what both of them seeing can only be impossible. I over to one of the tiny mirrors next to the control panel; I see that my eye color is changing from green to purple.
Elsewhere in the bunker.
Agent and Lyra are making their way through the archives when Lyra begins to wonder why did he joined the order and way James fall into this.
“Agent.” Lyra calls his name. “Yes.” He replays. “I wonder when you meet James and way you joined the Silenzers?” She asks him, making him stop and a deep breath before pulling out an old photo with himself stand next to a young mare and a filly.
The mare has a tan colt color with light brown color for her mane and tail. There’s red bands near the end of her mane and tail. Her cutie mark has a heart with a baby bottle in front of it. The stale of the mark is unique at least from the way the photo has been taken.
The filly is a colt with dark brown color for his colt and his mane and tail color is more of an orange and red color; there’s a green and white hat with a plastic propeller blade in a light purple shade. From the time of the photo was taken he hasn’t gotten his cutie mark yet.
“What happen?” She asks him making him to take a deep breath before answering her. “I was trying my best for them. But I was a crook and a thief. But I was also a cop for the Manehatten Police Department. One of my undercover jobs when south and I died in the process. That when I meet James, I don’t know what he did to me; but I was declared to everypony that knows me even my wife and son. That only pony knows that I’m back from the dead is the pony over the morgue. Not long after that day, I found out that they have moved to Ponyville and I still sent them money every month to take care of them even in the shadows; James pay me really well so I can do that. All that I can say is that without James I don’t know what could happen to them after that day.” He tells her the story.
She gets a better look at the photo and remembers seeing them in Ponyville from time to time when I go to play my Lyra in the center of town next to the fountain in the afternoon when school let out; before she gives the photo back to him.
“I’m betting it wasn’t easy for you, with you being dead and all?” She asks him. “It wasn’t at first until I got used to it and I can still support them in the shadows.” He answers her putting the photo my into the inside of his slut jacket before noticing the strange looking cloud coming from the direction of the elevator; making Lyra notice it as well.
So they made their way to the ship still seeing the strange purple fog coming towards them as Agent lowers the cargo bay loading bay. Then the other came through the fog to the ship. “There she is.” I thought to myself before barfing up more purple energy. “The Marlow.” I finish my train of thought.
“Boss, are you alright?” Agent asks seeing me without sunglasses for one of the rare times he has seen me, then he see the color of my eyes has changed as well. “I’m alright as far I can tell.” I answer him before barfing more of that energy. “Just get the platforms load.” I finish my train of thought as he, Pinky, Lyra, and Vinyl getting the Marlow load.
Destiny and Nurse Redheart help me on board to the bridge.
Moments later.
I’m sitting on the captain chair next to the controls; when I hear Agent on the Radio “Boss, you’re ready to go.” He tells me. “Good, I would like you to come with us; but with our guest here and the bunker is needed someone to be here.” I tell him. “You got it, Boss.” He tells me before putting away the radio back on my belt.
Once everypony is aboard. Destiny and Pinky came to the bridge to see how I’m doing. “How you doing, honey?” Pinky ask me putting her hoof on my right shoulder. “It still there, but not as bad has it was. Has for the energy it has stopped for now. But I don’t know for how long.” I answer her putting my left hand on her hoof making her calming her nerves a little.
“Destiny.” I called her. “Yes, dad.” She answers me. “I won't be able to pilot the ship back to Ponyville and I need you to pilot the ship for me.” I tell her nearly shocking her in the process. “Are you sure I’m ready for that?” She asks me. “I know you are. I show you.” I answer her handing her the key.
Destiny made her way to the controls and the ship steering wheel. Getting the grip of the ship. “Now Destiny, take the key and put in the ignition switch.” I tell making taking the key I gave to her, putting the ignition and turning it making the engine turn over making a lot of noise from the engine bay. The control panel lights came on as well the screens.
“Destiny you see the screen showing the power level?” I ask her making her to look at one of the screens showing the power level showing of 83% and four bars quickly rising. “Yes, I do.” She answers me. “You see four bars going up?” I ask her. “Yes, I do.” She answers me wonder what going on. “The bars are the power levels to the panels and they need to charge up to get this ship off the ground.” I tell her the reason for that.
Seconds later all four bars are full. “Now you see the throttle?” I ask her making to see two leavers made out of stainless steel and there are black balls on the end; attached to a box made out of the same material as the leavers next to the steering wheel. “I see it.” She answers me. “There’s a switch next to it.” I tell her making her putting her hand on it and turn it to it to the right making more noise throughout the ship sending the electricity to the panels making one of the screens showing the panels go from red to green.
“You need to open the hanger doors. There’s a green button next to the throttle.” I tell her making her push the button making the lights and a lot of noise from outside the ship. Slowly the door showing the still darken ski above us.
“Now slowly open the throttle.” I tell her, making her to grab the two leavers and push them forward a little making the 40-ton airship off the concrete floor sending electricity to the nearby walls to keep it from making contact with as it taking off.
Slowly the ship made its way through the hanger doors seeing the open field as it gets higher and higher off the ground. “Destiny the leaver for the landing gear is on the other side of the wheel.” I tell her making her to grab the only leaver their and push it up making the landing gear recall itself into the ship.
“You see the compass in front of the wheel?” I ask her. “Yes, I do.” She answers me showing the ship currently pointing NE on it. “The ship heading need to be SW towards Ponyville.” I tell her making her to turn the ship to the right heading as the ship climb higher above the trees.
With ship pointing the right direction. “Now before you fully open the throttle you see the red button next to it?” I ask her. “Yes, I do. Is that the hyperdrive?” She asks me. “Yes, it is. Now open the throttle and push the button.” I tell making her to push both of the leavers forward and quickly push the button making the ship breast itself for hypersonic speed.
Then one quick jolt the ship is in hypersonic speed seeing the ground below passing on the way. “We’ll be there in a half an hour.” I said out loud padding her back a little.
Elsewhere on the ship.
Lyra is the lounge where the others are looking out of the window thinking about what Agent told her. Bon Bon sees her friend looking out the window and knows there’s something on her mind.
“Lyra, what’s on your mind?” She asks her friend making her loose her train of thought for a second. “I was thinking about the agent and way James came to him in the first place?” She answers friend. “You remember the mare and her son that lives nears Twilight old home before she got her castle?” She asks her. “Somewhat, I do see them from time to time at Sugar Cube Corner.” Bon Bon answers her with a confused look on her face.
“Well, she married to him and the kid is his as well.” She tells her. “What happen?” She asks. “From what he told me, there was an undercover job wrong and he was declared dead for only two days. When James found him.” She answers her question. “Funny thing is that, how can he pay for all of the stuff and support them at the same time?” Question the story her friend told her. “You see James pay him more than enough to do, the only problem is that he has to do it in the shadows.” Lyra answers her friend. “Well, that would make a scent for him dead on paper.” She said out loud.
The doctor is thinking about what he saw back there in the elevator and try to get his head around about what I said about the element trying to keep him alive. But also remembering when he met my older self using his powers on 100 thousand Daleks at once and when one of them fired at him; the beam just bounced off. Thinking Dalek just missed fired at him again and bouncing off hitting nearby rocks making all of them scared out of their minds. Before asking him.
“WHAT ARE YOU?! The Dalek that just fires at him. “My name is James Cribb and you just made the biggest mistake in your life.” He answers the tin can on wheels making it look up seeing the dark ski filling with storm clouds making all them feel of fear going through them before seeing a bolt of purple lighting hit me showing what I really am.
Once the lightning bolt hit him all I saw was a flash then. Standing there was him with both of his glowing purple hue and spark of the lighting coming from them. There was something else as well glowing on the side of his neck glowing the same color as his hands. He removes his sunglasses and opens his eyes to see eyes were glowing purple as well. “EXTERMINATE, EXTERMINATE!” The Dalek shouted before firing its weapon at him again. Witch it hit but there’s no damage like he absorbed the blast. Scaring all 100 thousand of them making all of them fire on him absorbing all of their firepower before giving up.
“My turn.” He said before shooting up his hand releasing all the power back at them through a series of lighting bolts hitting every single one of them; making all of them scream in pain before blowing up in a series of fireballs leaving only burning metal behind. Shocking myself and other time lords that were there on that day.
Before coming out of his train of thought by Luna. “Hard to believe, isn’t it?” She asks him. “Even for me.” He answers her. “I never would have suspected at James would be that old from the way he looks.” She said out loud. “I know what you mean Luna.” He repays to her remark.
Celestia is look out the window wondering what his world would have looked like from the stories that she and her sister read on his people when they were younger and feeling like something was missing in her life; maybe a past life or something like that.
Vinyl and Octavia still trying to wrap their heads around with what happened to them in the past two with Vinyl using her magic to hold up the weapon that she used earlier today and remembering what James told her.
“How come I design this and make some much damage like my bass canon would?” She thought to herself. While Octavia is wondering about her parents that were in Canterlot when the quake happened.
As for Chrysalis remembering the time that they saved her life from death. She was flying above a forest 50 miles from Manehatten. After flying for days from losing her kingdom and home for what felt like a lifetime. She was losing strength of non-stop flying causing her to crash into the forest below and being knockout from the impact. When she came around she sees a small campfire going in the night sky above her before seeing a figure that she has seen before.
“You!” She said out loud trying to get up before falling back down getting the attention of the figure which was Pinky Pie but an older version of her. “Good you’re awake I’ll him know.” Pinky tells her before leaving heading to a nearby tent set up.
“Good to see you finally came around.” A voice calls out to her making her to set up seeing who or what just called out to her.
When she saw who called out to her to see a creature she never has seen before walking towards her standing on two feet with a pale color to its skin have a dark brown hair with a graying beard. Wearing a tan color cargo pants with a white button-up shirt and a dark brown clot and a pair of tan boots. That wasn’t the only thing on his face were a pair of sunglasses reflecting the light from the campfire off of them and a dark brown hat on top of his head.
“What are you?” She asks the creature. “I’m a human from a different world and time.” It answers her question before sitting down on a nearby log before continuing with his train of thought. “My name James Cribb, as well.” Telling her finishing his thought.
“What happen?” She asks both of them. “From the time we found you; you were knocking on death doorstep and we couldn’t move you very far from where you crash that way we set up camp right here.” I answer her question; when a metal cart on wheels made from metal and rubber pulls up with lights coming from the front.
“Good she here.” I said out loud getting up as the sound coming from the metal beast stopped in its track then the lights turn off; before the door on the right side from the where she is sitting, seeing another creature different than anything seen so far.
The creature looked like a mix of pony and human, but female no doubt about it; with gray clot or skin but it had a tail of a pony with the same color as it hair on top it’s head which was black from what she could see with the only light was from the campfire. She was wearing clothes like James is; but different from he was wearing at in color, from light blue, purple and white.
“Did you bring the stuff?” I ask the creature. “Of cure, dad.” It said answer him opening the back of the metal cart pulling a brown bag and making my way back to the campfire.
“You was very lucky that Destiny saw you crash and came to both of us to help you.” I tell her opening the bag and pull out a metal thermos; begin to open and pouring something into the other end that looks like a cup, before handing it to her. “Drink it.” I tell her making her to use her magic to lift the cup from my hand and slip it feeling the warm drink go down her throat.
“What is that?” She asks me. “Sweet tea, my own recipe.” I answer her question making her drink a little bit more of it. “How long were you flying?” I asked her getting something out of the bag. “Days, why you ask?” She answers me with a question of her own. “Well, that one out of the way; when was last time you eat?” I asked her still trying to find whatever I need in the bag and thing to myself. “Where is it?”
“Weeks, maybe months.” She answers me slipping on more of her drink. “Well, that would do it.” I tell her wondering what I’m talking about. “You see flying for that long without sleep and not eating for that long as you said. It would be only a matter of time until your body gives way forcing you to stop in your tracks, even if your will is strong to keep going.” I telling pulling a small metal box from the bag and open it revealing a small glass bottle and a needle shocking her seeing what in the box.
“Relax Chrysalis, this will help you in the end.” I tell her shocking her even more about how I knew her name getting the needle pulling the orange cape off and grabbing the bottle. Getting an alcohol swab and wipe it on top of the bottle and the needle before getting the needle ready. Seeing the needle shows what inside the bottle showing a green color going into the needle.
“How do you know my name?” She asks me before I could answer her Pinky jumped in for me. “I told him.” Answering her question; as I take the same swab on her hoof where I plan to implant the shout.
“This will feel like a bee sting for a second.” I tell her before sticking the needle into her making her feel the pain for only a second then feeling the shot going into her body.
She feels that shout every time remembering that event. If she knew back then what she knew now; she would never let him give her that shot in the first place. But she never thought that shot would have saved her life. So trying to think about how to pay them back for everything that they had done to her.
25 minutes later
Both me and Destiny were still on the bridge getting ready for our arrival in Ponyville. I look over to screen showing the power level is at 79%. “Fifth teen years has been good you Marlow.” I thought to myself feeling the controls in my hands; before Destiny broke my train of thought reliving the first years after construction was completed of two years of hard work and paining.
Pinky was their during its construction seeing the 40-ton airship slowly coming together. As for Destiny, she was too young to remember seeing coming together, but she remembers the first time that she and her father were heading to Ponyville to see Twilight and current Captain of the Wonder Bolts, Rainbow Dash for something that she can’t remember at the time. Seeing the ground go so fast underneath the ship while in the lobby with her mother.
“Here we are Ponyville.” I said out loud as Destiny turns off the hyperdrive seeing the remains of Ponyville within only a few hundred yards away.
