"What was...?"A pair of guards sitting at the rather elaborate door to the cell of "Red Abyss" where startled by a power flicker. One of the two became a tad bit alarmed going through the information on his computer screen.
"Something is going on topside, Looks like we are on emergency power."The other waves it off,
"Probably some stupid drill."===
within the chamber===
sets the moodThe darkness of the room is only slightly lessened by the glow of the blue electronic devices that seem to line the walls. But for an instant the room was black. From the black a red hue was born underneath the lone sarcophagus in the center of the room. The lone fixture began to violently shake, something within in it crashing about! The metal that comprised it began to whine as its lid was beginning to give from the sheer force of whatever it was trying to contain!
SLAM!
The lids hinges gave way! The lid found itself soaring only to just as abruptly find itself lodged into the ceiling of the chamber. A strangely dressed man had sat up from the soup within, his body seemed to shake from either cold or the simple stiffness of being held that long. As the man began to look about the room, he found himself violently vomiting and coughing.
===
outside====
"The movement sensors are going insane!"The twin officers looked at each other in confusion and disbelief. In the year they have been here nothing has ever changed, this was the easiest gig in the damn building! But now are they not supposed to detonate the elevator and fill the room with water?
"Its got to be a drill! Lets check it out first!"With that, the pair begin opening the 10 ton steel door....As light spills into the room, the see the reflection of the liquid and the all to out of place shine of the lid....Sticking out of a metallic ceiling. Their flashlights search the room madly till they see the trail of liquid going behind the fixture in the center of the room. A few cowardly gestures...and a game of rock paper scissors...and one move to check it out.
"Its'a guy!"
He says with an almost happy tone, clearly they had been led to believe a monster was kept in the chamber. As if the threat was already over he let his rifle hang from its sling as he went to the strange mans side.
"Hey buddy, how did you get in here?" The other officer began looking around for clues, shinning the light about.
"I think we should be on the elevator already man....this don't feel right." The officer ignores the plea of his partner and continues to question the
victim.
"Did you get locked in here with maintenance or something?" He begins to help the man clear the disgusting goo from his face and hair.
"GET AWAY FROM HIM!" exclaims the other officer?! His flashlight made it to the backside of the lid, where the distinct impression of a fist had warped the metal. His partner had no time to react as the hand of the Abyss grabbed his neck.
(Sh*t!) was the only warning before he let loose with his automatic rifle, but it was far far to late.
The man from the sarcophagus, had once more became the Abyss. His armor seemed to manifest from the darkness of the room, his eyes vanished into a red hue the filled the gap in the helm. The sound of the bullets ricocheting off the metal was the only bit of acknowledgment that the gun had even been fired at the Abyss. The Guard who was free of the grasp dropped his gun and began to run, knowing full well why those extreme precautions where in place now! He had to get there bef....His thoughts grew silent. He tries desperately to process thought but he cant seem to make things connect. His vision seems to pull away from itself, like he had but like so many thoughts in that moment, he failed to complete it as it all fell dark.
"Where am I? Where is the one called balance! WHERE!"Abyss had regained himself, but his location and this area where new. Last he remembered he was in battle with another armored one...But now. Lifting the remaining guard higher he questioned him once more.
"I will spare you suffering if you answer the question. WHERE!" The guard gasped in pain as the sensation of his neck being squeezed in the metallic hand made it hard to maintain any sort of silence.
"Yo-your in prision! 8 stories underground!" A loud crunch led to a look of terror, Abyss crushed the mans tracheae before dropping him....between the sides of his split comrade, a rather morose work of art.
Abyss chuckled, the guards had been so nice as to open the door for him. Peering out into the rather quaint room, he found it difficult for him to move about,
"Irritating..." He grabbed the desk and smashed it into its counterpart, freeing up the room for him to leave....A lord of rage, a master of destruction....Just pressed the button for the elevator. Something about this makes him chuckle.
*Ding*
The doors slid open to allow him on, only for him to be stopped abruptly by the shoulder-plates....He was to wide. The knight grunts before smashing his way onto the elevator. Luckily he can stand within it fine, pressing the G button the doors fall off in their attempt to close.
*Ding*
The outer doors open to a room of panicking guardsman. Not for his arrival, but for the Chaos that had begun elsewhere....But the scarily used elevators doors opening did attract some attention as the room quickly became aware of his presence.
"Die."A single word, but it echoed about in the room as if Abyss where the Devil himself. As the guards spread about taking more defensive position, and other continued on to deal with other inmates, it was becoming all to clear. Housing this many monsters is just asking for trouble.
