Chapter 13- Tension
The young women walked along the halls of the castle. Using her camouflage technique to swiftly make her way through. Ignoring the people living their lives. She only came here to do one thing and one thing only. Make sure that this universes protection is still working strong. The small device acting like a tracker and data collector for the universe. It was a small, golden device, oddly shaped like a clip. With a gem infused with Dream's aura. It was placed deep under the castle. In a place under their dungeon. It was placed here since it was a close fortitude place. The people had no strength to break it, understand it, and use it. Sure they can break it apart, but to completely break the function of the device, is impossible for the inhabitants here. One thing about it is that any creature resembling Nightmare or himself will burn and hurt them. The device was almost impossible to destroy.
Continuing forward the young women made her way to the final stop. It was near a stairway. She quickly knelt down feeling cold cobblestone floors. She dusted the front of the stairs as a small silver plaque was shown. She careful pushed it down as it popped up. The surrounding cobblestone clicked and pushed in instead. About 4 steps hissed as steam came out between the cracks. The young women stepped back. The steps separated in two before disappearing to the side. Sure the space wasn't big but having it be smaller prevented certain creatures out. She slipped in as the stair way closed again. Quickly she tapped on her watch as armor like brace aligned her arm. It emitted a strong light as she walked. She soon made her way down as it started to slope downward. Quickly she paced into the small opening. There was a small door. Gently she opened it.
Inside was what was know as CP-3, or Cipher Polis. Pretty much a secret police force. They enact and establish peace throughout the universes assigned to their superior. But with a more radical, and strict approach.
The women kept her cool gaze as the device was positioned in a pedestal. A small amount of light shining through. Her group waiting inside standing and leaning against some walls. Some wires being hooked into the ground. The woman gave a knock as she came in, her staff patiently waiting for her. They stood up straight as she approached the device. "At ease."
"Jupiter, we've been taking different shifts here and scouting as many worlds and regions as much as possible. But so far there hasn't been any complications." Stated one of the figures near her. Jupiter gently pressed the gem in the middle. She held it for around 3 seconds before it glowed and started to project different screens and holograms around the walls. The gathered data being shown. The graphs and numbers appearing. Some of the charts fluctuating up and down. "Seems like there's nothing here." Jupiter held her chin and glanced at it. "It could be possible that they retreated. We don't 100% know how much the Light Charges effect them once they're in." She held the device in her palms. Its golden exterior sat gently in her palms. "That is if they're in here." She placed it back down.
On of the figures stepped forward. Their snake like features making them stand out. "If I may Commander." He started. Jupiter didn't say anything letting him speak. "We've come to a hypothesis. We've assumed that the being is in this area." He went to grab something from his cloak. "None of our sources and sensors have given any activity." He held it out too Jupiter. She grabbed it's worn out handle before pressing the screen. She typed in a few codes before the information was projected much like the rest. She turned around to take a look. "There's a spike." She motioned. She walked up to the wall and pointed at the graph. "It was 2 days ago. Around sunset. There was a spike of 0.01%." She turned around and looked at the group. "Something's here." She passed by the device before pressing it down. The images going away. "I don't care who you need to go through, who you need to investigate, what you need to do. Find and exterminate the cause." She handed the device back to man. "And if it is him. You will notify me at once. I'm willing to give him another beating or two." The group nodded. Acknowledge their superiors orders. Jupiter passed them in order to leave. "Start by looking in the kingdom and retracing your steps."
With those final words she took a step forward and vanished.
She had reappeared back at the foot of the castle. Jupiter kept quiet as she made her way back to her office. Something isn't right. She could feel her frustration swept between her lips. He cannot get his hands on a Light Charger, especially in a universe like that.
Very short! Nothing too much. It is a bit rushed and I do apologize! I just needed to put something out!
