I Called Them Mom, Maybe To Soon...
I can see I.T.'s castel on the horizon. Why they needed a castle, I'll never know. I.T. always was the outcast of the four of us. They came in later than us, they tend to keep to themselves, and they are always doing creepy experiments with broken souls from the past two rewrites. That was until they ran out of shards. I wonder what they're working on now?
That's not to say I.T.'s a bad person, even if they are trying to destroy the world. There was a time where we were freinds. That time was long ago however...
Good continues to lead me to somewhere, but I don't know where. I look at the map, and it appears we're going towards nothing. "Where are we going?" I inquire.
"You'll see," they reply.
We continue in silence for a while until they say, "so, how do you plan to defeat I.T. anyways? There's a bit of a power gap there."
"I'll think of something," I reply, "don't worry mom."
"Did you just call me mom?" Good asks.
Oh, oh shit I did. Uhhh... What do I say? Do I take it back? No, they are as close to a mother as I've ever had so... Uhhh...
"It's OK," Good smiles, "I've always wanted a son anyways, just, never had the chance. Come on, I promise you're gonna love this place."
Me and my mom (I guess, why not?) Continue through the abyss until we reach a lone book shelf that isn't on the map.
"Huh," I smile, "long way for some reading material."
"Oh," Good smiles, "that's not why we're here." Good pulls out a book on the third shelf, revealing a secret stair case.
"Follow me," mom smiles. We head down the stair case into a massive lab. I see Evil on the other side, mixing diffrent elements and magical essences.
"Hey Evil!" Good calls.
Evil turns around. "Oh hey guys!" They smile, "how are you?"
"Preety good," Good smirks. Oh gods was that a pun? Argh! That wasn't even a good one. I see a can of soda labled, "cheese flavor" why in the fuck would you make cheese flavored soda? Eh screw it, I see an opportunity for a joke, I'm gonna take it.
"Now now," I reply mischievously shaking the soda, "that was kinda, cheesy."
I open the soda, but the can is empty.
Evil snickers. "That was really funny," he explains, "but the cheese flavor isn't ready yet. So what can I do ya for?"
"I wanted my son here to see what you do, maybe sample some flavors. Always lifts me up when I'm down. Thought it might help him."
"Son?" Evil inquiries.
"I accidentally called them mom," I explain, "not taking it back though, I mean, they love me like a mother would. They watch out for me, give me advice, I know that it was kinda sudden, and you haven't known me for long, but thanks for being a mother to me Good."
"Don't mention it," Good smiles, "anyways, what flavors you got?"
"You're gonna love this," Evil smiles rushing over to an elaborate set up of bottles and beaker filled with magical essences, "start with a drop of posion, add fire, mix in some life magic, some pure mana, and add just a pinch of caffeine and you get bacon flavored soda!"
"You're kidding," I reply.
"Try it," he smiles handing me a can.
It's an odd pinkish color, but I take a sip. Now, I expected this to be either the best thing ever or the worst thing ever. It was actually mediocre. Tasted to much like actual meat, really messed with you that it was a liquid. Maybe if it were sweeter.
"Needs more sugar," I comment.
"Ah yes," Evil replies, "thought it was hard on the throat but couldn't figure out why. I'll have a new batch ready soon. In the meantime Uncannoned, there's something you need to see."
Evil takes out a notebook. "This is a new one," Good comments.
"Yeah," Evil explains, "I found it the other day, got lost behind some barrels of dark magic. Shit's basically toxic waste yknow. What I saw in that notebook was not good."
I open the notebook. It isn't the author's handwriting. It reads, "Project End. First entry. I've done it! I've made a soul shard from scratch! This is it! I can finally make a second harbinger! Also I'll be able to give The Kin a sister. He needs any family he can get so two birds with one stone. After all, I'm no father to him, and chances are, I'm not gonna do better with this next one. To anyone reading this, fuck off. All entries after this one are encrypted in various ways. Have a nice day."
The Kin? A new harbinger? No, it couldn't be! "This can't be true," I reply so shocked my voice shakes.
"I'm afraid it is," Evil sighs, "I.T. is making a new destroyer from scratch..."
