Chapter 40 Old Scares

A portal opens making both of them see what inside the memory. From what they could see is a military base with a planet with a shade of blue, green, and purple in the night sky above them. There were other plants around them seeing eight others in different colors. They weren’t alone theirs a lot of movement around then seeing a strange looking helicopter with the rotating blades on each side of the vehicle slowly making its way to a landing platform near some other personnel.

Luna and Doctor wondering who inside before seeing the side door slide open revealing a younger James with four other people getting out as well. One of the personnel came to him. “He wants to see you.” He tells me. “What does the old man want this time. I still have work to do back research headquarters?!” I ask loud enough so he could hear me over the blades.

Both Luna and Doctor see a figure at the window on the highest floor there making very hard from where they were standing. “Frank; I’m going to see what the old man wants this time.” I said to one of the people that come off the helicopter.

“Danny; Shut it down this isn’t going an easy visit.” I said to the pilot making shutting down engine making the blades slow themselves down.

The group starts to lead me into the building. Both Luna and the Doctor also follow them into the building. One of the soldiers opens a metal door leading into the building; once the group is through the door Luna came through the door before it closed on the Doctor. Making him stop in his tracks before remembering that this a memory and we are more like a ghost, putting his hand through the metal door seeing that both of them can easily go through without a problem.

Inside the group quickly made their way to an elevator near the end of an all-way where are more personal doing their jobs keeping the base and the order in check. “Doctor?” Luna called with a concerned tone in her voice before seeing him walking through the door behind her, scaring her a little making her jump a little. “Haa; Don’t do that.” She tells him recovering from the reaction. “Relax Luna, this is just memory after all.” He tells her getting a move on to catch up with the group.

At the elevator, the doors begin to open and everyone gets inside. Doctor and Luna begin to run at the elevator seeing the elevator doors begin to close. The Doctor makes it in time, but Luna didn’t get there in time and run straight through the doors bumping into the Doctor nearly making both of them fall to the ground. “I got you.” He tells her getting a hold of their balance before feeling the elevator begins to move to the upper levels.

Both of them still having trouble seeing looking so young from what they have seen him. He looks like in his 30’s during this memory. “He looks so young from the real world.” Luna said out loud. Seeing me wearing my normal clothes from back in the day

Wearing blue jeans, a purple polo shirt, a dark blue jacket, black combat boots, and his brown cowboy hat and black sunglasses.

Moments later or what felt like to them, the elevator slows down to the top floor. “We’re here.” One of the soldiers said before the elevator comes to a complete stop. The doors quickly open letting everyone off.

Both Luna and Doctor see more soldiers at computers and other computers looking more like a radar for air traffic outside. “Incredible.” Luna seeing what happening in front of them as the group made their way to a set of a stair leading an office floor higher then it looks from the outside. Luna and Doctor like to see more of this place seeing the man that they saw outside standing next to the window.

Both of them quickly made their way to the office above them to see James and the others meeting an old man wearing a white officer uniform with purple ribbons on his shoulders of his jacket; He looks like he is the mid to late ’50s with gray hair and scare on left side his face from a battle that happened in his past long ago.

“Ok, what gives you the idea to bring me over here?” I ask the old man. “Soldiers, leave us.” He tells the others making them leave the room closing the door behind them leaving only James and the old man. But Luna and the Doctor are in there with them being only a memory.

“James, there’s something you need to see.” The old man tells me walking over to his desk and opening a video file from servers; before putting on a screen behind him showing footage.

“Is that who I think who that is?” I ask him. “Yes, it is.” He tells me, showing the footage of the point of view of my creation.

The footage is showing troops of the Reds and the General at the time. “General, I change you to a fight to the death, for the leadership of the Reds.” My creation said to the Reds General. “I accept.” The General responds to the android.

Troops start to clear out leaving only the Reds General and my creation. A few came back with swords, spears, and handguns. “Choose your weapon.” General tells him making him choose a sword with a 3 foot of blade. Then General chooses his weapon which is a spear with a 2-foot blade and a heavy ball at the other end.

They walk to the other end of the room with them facing each other with a killer look from the General before the footage begins to skip and fuzzy like a broken tv. “What going on?” I ask the old man. “It’s the footage messing up from the fight making us losing most of the footage. But the audio at the end came through.” He tells me. “Let me listen.” I tell him.

The footage keeps going to the end the video is showing a black screen, but the audio keeps going. “Reds your old General is dead and I’m taking control of this army and faction. If you want to stand behind me to destroy our enemies once and or fall.” The voice of my creation said out loud before hearing cheers of troops coming from the background before the footage ends.

Both the Doctor and Luna seeing the video in a state of shock from what they just saw. “What his this creation and why did he or whatever it is killed this General and toke over.” The Doctor ask out loud before being cut off by the old man.

“Well, James with this new General leading the Reds and I’m just an old man in his 60’s. It would be best for me to step down from being the leader of the Silenzers.” He tells me. “What are you saying?” I ask him in a state of confusion. “It means, I like to lead the order; I like you to be Grand Leader of the Silenzers.” He tells me making me lose my breath in a state of shock.

“Grand Leader?” Luna asks out loud in confusing. “Must be titles like a CEO or President.” The Doctor tells her trying to answer her question the best way he can.

Just at that moment, the building shook like an earthquake making alarms go off. Making everyone lose their balance making both Doctor and Luna trying there best to stay on their feet from going through walls. The old man gets on a walkie-talkie. “What the hell was that?” He ask one of the guards outside the building. “It the Reds there attacking and they have a new General leading them!” The guard tells him through before being cut off from a gunshot.

“Solider, solider.” The old man said through it before someone put it up on the other end. “Hello Grand Leader, how you been these days, you old fool.” The voice said on the other end, shocking even me. “Why are you doing this?” He ask him. “Well, for one treating me like god damn weapon that you can just pull the trigger whenever you want. I joined the Reds and take over. One more thing tells James he’s next after I kill you. You old sick son of a bitch.” The General tells him before slamming the walkie-talkie on the other end.

Both Doctor and Luna hear what just happened in front of them. “Who is this General?” Luna asking herself out loud before feeling another jolt from a blast coming from outside making her go through the wall she standing near. “Luna!” The Doctor called to her getting her on her feet again before feeling another more jolts and blast coming from outside making him fall next to her. Trying to get back on their feet seeing everyone scrambling to get weapons from a nearby locker.

Doctor when to a nearby window overseeing the base. Seeing soldiers out there falling from missiles landing from outside the concrete wall while seeing others grabbing nearby guns and climbing the wall where the missiles are coming from. While others start to climb into machines as fast they could.

Luna came to see what he is looking at and can see the anger coming from his eyes before seeing the same thing feeling only one thing coming from her mind is fear. “I should have been here when all of this going on.” The Doctor said out loud with a tone that sent chills down your back. “Doctor, don’t go beating yourself up for what you didn’t know about.” Luna trying to clam him seeing what going outside, before me and the old man coming out of the office.

“Where are we going?” I ask him following him to a nearby stairway. Luna and the Doctor see both of us and begin to follow them going as fast they could feel the vibrations coming the battle outside. Lights start to flicker from them the lower they got. “We need to one of the keys, we keep in a safe in the lower levels.” The old man tells me trying his best to keep himself stable grabbing the rale on his left side from shockwaves along. Things were very different for both Luna and the Doctor with nothing to grab on too barely staying on their feet from the battle going on outside.



“Dear God, I haven’t felt anything sent the last great time war.” The Doctor said outside trying to keep himself steady going down the flight of stairs. “I know how you feel.” Luna tells him trying her best to get down those same stairs without falling through one of the walls or going through the rail and falling to the lower levels. That looks like it goes one forever.

Both me and the old man made our way to a locked door with a card reader on its right side of it. He took out his ID card and swap it making the door became unlock making both of us go through. Both Doctor and Luna see us going through the door and quickly made their way through before it closed.

There were only myself and the old man making ours through a maze of core doors leading back to the research center where I work. “Sir, may I ask wasn’t I aware of these underground paths?” I ask the old man. “James, there are things through these halls that you wouldn’t like for us to do. That one of the reasons we didn’t bring you down here until now.” He answers my question. “But that not the main reason for it?” I ask him again. “That all I’m going to tell you for now.” He answers me in a tone of voice that normally makes me back down. But this time I became a little piss from it. “What are you hiding from me?” I ask him again in a serious tone in my voice that made the old man spine run cold stopping him from his tracks.

The Doctor and Luna see me and the change of tone in my voice feeling the same thing going through them as well. “You feel that too Doctor?” Luna asks him. “Yes. I did. There is something James has that makes people feel what they don’t want to feel.

“I know how that feels, there are things that things that I don’t even know been going on right under my nose.” He answers me making. “Well, that would explain a lot. I know everyone has their secrets. Some that would stay with them throughout their life’s ever to see that light of day.” I tell him still feeling the vibrations coming from above.

As both of us made our way through the maze of corridors with both Luna and the Doctor. Until we made are to one of the metal doors the size of a two-car garage with a small door on it and I decided to take a look inside through the small window shaped hole to nothing but darkest at first until I see the outline of a mosquito from the Swamp world.

The Old Man sees me look through it and tells me. “James, there are things that must be kelp buried.” Before closing the sliding window, before moving on.

Luna and the Doctor want to see what behind this walking through it seeing the same mosquito; which made Luna jump back a little from what happened to her and Chrysalis back in Bailtmare. The Doctor sees this oversize mosquito with only one thing coming from his mind and that regret to what has happened to it, trying to reach out to touch with his left hand feeling sorry for it; to only have his hand to go through like there was nothing there in front of him.

Luna sees the creature for what it really is, a prisoner of this war and as a lab rat. Making to stand down to get a little closer to it; starting to feel the same as the Doctor feels about the creature.

“He scared.” The Doctor said still feeling the vibrations coming from above them making the creature trying to hold on for dear life. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.” He tries to talk to the creature. But it like trying to talk to a brick wall right now.

So, both of them have no other choice but to leave it behind to see James and the Old man made their way to door at the end of the hallway. The old man using his keycard to open the door and open it showing that all nine keys are glowing. “That the first I have seen them like this.” The old man said out before getting the Forest key and handing it to me.

Still glowing in my hand, I can feel something is off before the door closes on it owned locking itself as well. Before seeing a wall of fire coming towards us making us. Both of us run as fast we could back to the stairway. Both Luna and The Doctor sees the wall of fire as well and follow us

Once all of us made to the door of the stairway. Keycard doesn’t want to work at that moment and the wall of fire was only feet away from us. The key is glowing brighter than ever forcing me to close my eyes even with the sunglasses on. The wall of fire came at us but something that not even the old man be dumfounded from what is happing right in front of him.

Luna and the Doctor standing next to them seeing the same thing as well. The wall of fire didn’t swallow them whole; it moves around them. This when on for a few seconds before the fire dies down showing the burn marks up and down the hall the only place that didn’t get touch was where we stand.

I open my eyes to see the aftermath. “What just happen?” I said out loud questioning seeing the burn marks around them before seeing the old man dumfounded from what just happen in front of him. “I don’t know, I’m surprised that we are still alive after all of that.” He tells me making me look around to see the scorch marks around them, seeing something is off about its space is big enough for four people, not two.

Luna and The Doctor sees that look in my eye knows that there’s something up. “He knows.” Luna said out loud. Before everything around them begins to freeze into place leaving only both of them only to move.

“Luna, Doctor.” A voice calls out to them.

“Did you hear that?” The Doctor asks her friend. “Yes, I did.” Luna said out loud before something coming towards them.



A figure shaped like a human with white streaks coming from its body like lighting going around its body. “I know what both of you been through your lifetimes. But James here; his life has always been interesting. Even after he discovered the nine worlds and got cock up in the civil war that been going on for far too long.” The figure tells them both.

“What are you?” The Doctor asks the mysterious figure. “All in good time Doctor.” It answers him not answering his question. Before feeling the vibrations coming again as well as the remaining flames starting to move again.

“We need back to the surface.” The old man tells me swapping his keycard again making the door open again, both of us quickly made our way to the surface. Luna and the Doctor follow us as fast they could.

“Who or what was that?” Luna ask the Doctor. “I don’t know even with all my travels. I never ran into anything like that.” He answers her question.

Once at the surface, the old man took a look outside threw a nearby window seeing that the battle is still going on before seeing the main gate going into a giant explosion of fire and men behind the gate sent flying from the blast. Before seeing that traitor in his new Aldi R8 painted red and black before seeing troops coming through and opening fire on his coworker and friends for many years.

“They’re through the main gate.” He said out loud. “What do you mean?” I ask him before seeing the massacre outside. “There only one thing we can do now; Lockdown.” The old man tells me.

By the time The Doctor and Luna made their way to where we are. Before seeing what going on outside, which made Luna want to puck her guts out.

“Sir, if you do that all of our bases and safehouses will be lockdown as well.” I tell him. “We have no choice.” He tells me making to where the lockdown is.

While outside

“TAKE IT DOWN BEFORE THEY ACTIVE THE LOCKDOWN.” The General shouted making the tanks that come through the open gate beginning to open fire on the building itself.

Doctor and Luna take over as best they could from blasted coming from outside. Knowing it would go straight through them but feels so real now up close to fighting now.

Both of them seeing me and the old man made our way back to his office as quickly as we could to active the lockdown.

Moments later both made back to his office with Luna and the Doctor following close behind. The old man made his way to a brass bust of an Engle pulling its head to reveal a white button and press it; making a section of wall behind his desk to open up, revealing a small computer coming out.

Once it was out the screen came on showing “Do you like to active the lockdown.” With the first letters of the words, Yes and No.

The old man made his way to the computer and press the “Y” key activating the lockdown throughout the building and other facilities through the nine worlds.

“Is it done?” I ask him. “Yes, it is done. But the fight is far from over.” He tells getting something from his desk. Which was a key for his car down in the garage on the other side of the base.

Things were different from the outside. Tanks still firing at the building the General pulling a firearm from the inside of his leather jacket. Which was an old Smith & Wesson clot action revolver carrying 45 caliber bullets.

Doctor and Luna see what going on outside while me and the old man were activating the lockdown. “It’s getting worse.” Luna said out loud before seeing coming towards them. “Get down!” The Doctor shouted grabbing Luna jumping out of the way of the blast making everything in room turn into nothing but dust and fire.

The old man and myself were still in his office from the blast happen just nocking out the windows inside the office covering us in shares of glass.

Likely for us we were covering our heads from the glass. “We need to get to the garage.” He tells me getting up letting shares of glass falling from his uniform. I’m getting from where was taking cover from only a few feet from him was taking cover.

Luna and Doctor got from where they landed seeing the room, they were standing in nothing more the ruin of fire and dust from the blast. “This memory is getting to dangerous.” Luna said out loud before getting up. “Your right there.” The Doctor said in repost trying to reach for the helmet he was wearing; trying to take it off.

Back in the shop outside he reaches for the helmet, but something is wrong, the helmet isn’t even trying to budge.

Back inside the memory; The Doctor made a terrifying revelation they are stuck in the memory riding out the rest of the way.

With both of them trapped inside until it ends. They see me and the old man leaving the room to a stairway leading outside. They tried their best to follow us through what left the room with flames coming from some of the trashed computers and dust still in the air making it very difficult to see.

Luna having a stuff time breathing from all of that dust in the air. Things are different outside. Men are still gun down outside with the high where they’re standing hearing the sound of gunfire going off and explosions going every few seconds.

Luna takes a look outside again seeing the red and black sports car making its way towards the building. The driver side door opens to their leader climbing out wearing his uniform nearly all black with his leather trench cloth covering the upper torso with black pants and boots. He looks where Luna is looking through and freaks her out seeing his face for the first time. “It looks us like him.” She thought to herself seeing their leader.

“Sir.” One of the soldiers “You better give me good news commander.” The General tells him. “Sir, we blasted where the lockdown is going to active.” He tells his leader. “Well?” The General asks him. “The lockdown has been active.” He answers him; making the General piss off. Then in a fraction of a second, he pulls out his gun from his clot and aims it at his face and fires it. Killing him on the spot letting his body falls to the ground before a couple of men take the body away.

“Find them and bring them to be to me, if they're still alive.” The General tells his men around him putting his gun away.

Luna sees what just happen on the ground, seeing this man or machine being so cold to his own men killing them without remorse. The Doctor sees Luna just standing there seeing what going outside. “Luna!” He shouts at her getting still in shock about what she just saw.

Doctor when over to her finally breaking her train of thought. Getting her focus on what her friend is trying to tell still hearing the sound the gunshot going through her head again.

“Doctor, I’ve seen his face.” She tells wondering what she is talking about before. “Who’s face?” He asks her questions about what she has seen. “There Leaders face is James’s face. Just without any facial hair.” She answers his question.

The Doctor looks out of the hole to see his face with his own eyes. Seeing their leader still down their walking towards the remains of the building seeing a part of his face; without a level of doubt, it is James's face and like Luna subscribed it. “The General.” He said out loud

“Come again?” Luna asks him to question how he knew his name. “I remember a time when James told me about him and what he did. Now, seeing in person. If he comes to Equestria; then God helps us.” He tells her scaring her in the progress.

Before Luna could react seeing the figure again this time standing next to them. “Time is running out.” It tells them scaring them notice that me and the old man have left the room leaving the door open.

Both of them quickly their way threw the open door seeing me and old man are like two levels down and making our way the open walkway leading to another section of the building with very little damage so far.

With both of them trying their best to catch up with us, seeing a few tanks making their way to the other side to start another barrage on the building. With both of them out in the open, knowing that those shells will go straight through them, but can still feel the vibrations and aftershocks.

Once me and the old man made are away from the other side while the few tanks get themselves into position. Once we made our way to the garage and access through both his and my keycards unlocking the emergency doors above the main garage doors. Seeing his both and my cars. Which are a Lamborghini Murcielago and Nissan 350Z in their Silenzers colors purple and silver.

Meanwhile outside, Doctor and Luna making their way over the walkway; when the tanks begin to fire at the walkway hitting near them sending shockwaves near them almost getting thrown off the platform.

“Hang on, Luna!” The Doctor shouts to her, before feeling the shockwave from a nearby blast to one of the tanks. Making her hang on for dear life until the blast has gone past them. Looking up seeing nothing fire and smoke around herself, standing up seeing something is following them on the walkway; seeing the shadow of the General coming towards them, looking more like a demon than anything else.

The heat coming from fires around them making it feels like they’re in the fiery depths of hell. Luna gets back on her to run as fast she could towards the garage. As for the Doctor he gets up from where shockwave sent him seeing Luna running by him. Getting on his feet turning to the walkway is completely in flames and seeing a shadow of the General, sending him a fiery fit of rage. Slowly making his across the platform from being shellshock just seconds ago.

Luna makes her way to the other side, seeing the Doctor struggling to make it across. She runs back to him, getting on the right side of him grabbing his arm swigging around herself; to get the both of them to the other side together. Still sound of gunshots coming inside the building this time, as well around them on the ground floor.

Once both of them made their way to door, they just walk right past; Seeing me and the old man at the cars below them. With the Doctor finally able to get himself stable thanks to Luna. “Thank you, Luna.” He tells her. “No problem Doctor.” Luna tells him. “Even with all that I have seen throughout my generations. I never felt or even seen anything like this before.” He tells her.

Before hearing coming towards where they’re standing, then a loud bang it the building making the structure weak itself sending creaks from where it hit. “We don’t have much time, the building goes.” The old man tells me unlocking his car and grab a black bag from a strong age locker; putting into the car. “What’s this.” I ask him to point out the black bag. “The Order must live on. Here is some money and location for a safe house that off the books and unaffected by the lockdown.” He tells me feeling another hit the building, while Luna and the Doctor made their way to the ground level. “Where is this safe house?” I ask him. “Queen City, an old warehouse in lower levels. Big enough for 11 people and at least 15 vehicles.” He tells me.

“The roof is about to go.” The Doctor looks up seeing the creaks get too big making both of them stand back before seeing small pieces fell hitting the 350Z; alerting to both me and the old man seeing the pieces that hit the car. Then making both of us look up at the ceiling seeing the creaks, scaring both me and the old man.

“We don’t have much time.” I said before hearing another blast from outside seeing the creaks and making a major chunk of the rook to come down landing the 350Z, for a brief second I hear something. “God damn it.” The old man said out loud seeing that his left leg is pin from the heavy debris. “Boss, you’re alright?” I ask him before seeing that his leg his pin down and that the rest of the roof is fixing to go down as well.

“There’s only enough time for you to get out.” He tells me handing me his car keys, knowing that this will be the last time we’re going to see each other. “Are you sure about this?” I ask him to hear the roof structure could go any second. “Yes, I’m sure. Now go.” He tells me getting back running as fast I can to the car.

Once inside and trying to get the engine going, before roaring to life. I hit a button on the sun visor, making the garage door open as fast it could before stopping about half-way through. I put the car into gear a rev the engine getting out of there in the madhouse outside.

Doctor and Luna follow me through the door seeing the old man there helpless being pin down; “Best of luck, James; Best of luck.” He said out loud before the roof finally gives way crushing him to death.

Doctor and Luna see everything begins to freeze in their place before seeing the same portal opens again when they came into this memory. Both of them walk through it know what they just saw.
