Chapter 14- Remorse
"It didn't spike dramatically, but it spiked all of the percentage that we've calculated that would be there." Jupiter took a look on the sphere like ball floating in the middle of the table. It glowed as it showed the data of the universe. "As we speak CP-3 is out attempting to find whatever has made this 0.01%." Jupiter fiddled with her fingers as she leaned forward. "I'm truly afraid to even think of the outcome." Midnight looked at the graph.
"You don't assume that most of this information is simply a hoax?" Midnight turned to the rest of her siblings. "You think he's making us go on some wild goose chase?"
Comet quickly butt in. "I wouldn't doubt it, but if he was then he'd be only be doing this outside the universes already protected. This has to be some sort of threat. We cannot ignore it." Phoenix looked back at his sister for a brief moment. Quickly he looked away from her before asking.
"What do you know from the inside." He questioned. The room fell silent.
Jupiter started. "Phoe-"
"It's fine." Quickly interrupted the leader. "IF Nightmare is gone and in there then he left Luna in charge. Which is why production is so slow. She moves slowly. Enough to where it won't seem like a dramatic change until he returns." Midnight hummed.
"That's when he hits us." Midnight hummed. "Whatever they're planning they're playing the long game." Jupiter stayed laying on the floor, simply gazing out the window.
"He could be simply trying to figure out how to use his full power again." She threw her arms in the air and sat up. "Ever since he got that scar he's been a bit, er handicapped."
Phoenix looked down at his sister. "That still doesn't mean he isn't a threat." Comet nodded in agreement. Jupiter clicked her tongue. Immediately she jumped up. Midnight watched her sister approach the table.
"What do you have this time."
"I have an idea." She typed in a few things. A profile came up of many individuals. It was varies pictures of her brother. "You should go undercover." The older sisters looked over to his brother. Phoenix flinched slightly.
"Pardon? I don't do that field of work anymore." Jupiter clapped her hands together.
"Dear brother, have you forgotten what they used to call you." Phoenix frowned. "The shadow of the night, uh the living phantom, er-"
"No one calls him that!" Called out the older sisters.
"Well my point is," she pointed at her brother. "You should go and investigate." Phoenix pointed back to himself.
"Me? And what about you?" Jupiter laughed and swung her hands around.
"Oh brother of mine." Her cheery gaze flattened. Growing cold and dead. "He'll recognize me, he'll recognize us. Plus..." She grabbed her mask and tucked it down a bit. Enough to show her nose. You can see the charred skin and scars ripping through down towards her lips. "He'll recognize my scars. I'm like a sore thumb." She pulled up her mask. "Plus if some were to say, oh I don't know, you look like this guy or you remind me of someone OR they even get you mixed up with someone, then that's enough to prove that he's there."
Midnight shrugged. "You're just going off physical appearance." Jupiter gave a satisfied expression.
"Hell yes I am."
Her siblings did a quick face palm. "Jupiter, won't that make him pop out? He'll know that his son is there, that he is there." Jupiter kept her satisfied smile.
"That's a risk we should take." She looked at her brother. "This universe is human. And Phoenix is probably the most capable of doing this." She typed a few things into the computer as another profile popped up. "I've been meaning to show you all this." It was someone else's profile, Nightmare's. Every piece if data, his past, his life, his appearances. Everything they're able to get about him. "I've been meaning to show you all this profile of him. I've been gathering information as much as I can. And only we have access to them." She slid through some pictures. Some of him and their mother, others with them, and some with other family members. She stopped on a file that was labeled, 'XtraApp' inside the file where different appearances. Ranging from human, monster, animal, and mimicking others.
"Where the hell did you get all this!" Exclaimed Midnight.
"I've been doing my own research and anything else we had in file." Comet scoffed.
"You're abusing your position dear sister." She said with a small laugh. Jupiter stood happily.
"Yeeeeeep." She quickly got a picture of Nightmare. Sure it wasn't super clear but it was something. She positioned it next to him. "They look alike right?" She then drew the pictures back to their file before she turned it off. "Phoenix, you can be our eyes inside. Maybe change up a little more. You won't be going in there every day just to check in like 2 or 3 times a week."
Phoenix blinked with confusion. "HUH? 2-3 times a week! I have other responsibilities! I can't just push those aside!"
"We have it under control." Stated Midnight calmly. "Gabe will help you, and we will too. That is until we bring this investigation to a close."
"And the investigation ends once, one, you find Nightmare or the source. Second, you find out what he is hiding."
Phoenix groaned. He touched his face before sighing. "Fine. Fine." He clapped his hands together. "But this better be the last time." Jupiter laughed.
"Haha sure will." She then turned off the system before looking at her brother. "Let's go into more detail."
