Another Dimension: Demonic Tempest

[Shadow Dragon]

{I'm use to it to a fault, so don't mind me.}

"I want to know just as badly, and yet..." Luke stopped.

"I don't care either way," said Armstrong

[ganondorf2]

"Just be watchful...I feel I know the place...as does my master..." the shadow said.

"Even worse..." I said.

"I can sense that too," Nova said as he spotted the edge of the blast head our way, showing a lab inside it.

"Lets get this over with," Ganondorf said, walking into it.

As my team entered, I heard, "Hold it right there."

Nova looks up to see dark humanoid figure staring down at us from a ledge.

"And you are?" Peac0ck asked.

"One that judges each of you...you do not belong in this world as you have a goals that do not align with us," it said before pointing at Tikal, "Even more with him and Asch."

"What did they do?" Kira asked.

"Interfered with final judgement and fate of the clone Dark Nova commanded. All you did was put him to sleep, not wake him."

"Explain?" Nova asked in confusion.

"In our world, if the person has no purpose yet, they are free to choose an action if the choice was done here, thus are awake...if done too early and the master was from here, the ones that did the action is punishable by death or to sleep."

"That's a bit extreme don't you think?" Sonic asked.

"No wonder Neutron was mad..." Nova said

"Not in our line of work. You will come back but you will lose one thing."

"That is?" Tails asked.

The left eye of the figure glows and said, "The very eye that was destroyed by Asch!"

"The left? Wait, Neutron lost his left eye here then?"

"And gained it back. Once he knew of the rules here, we gave him a new one...but he never uses it power."

[Shadow Dragon]

"You expect us to believe that?" asked Tikal.

[ganondorf2]

"You doubt us? If only Neutron was with you...oh wait, he's not. Want to see proof, just go over there," the figure said, pointing at a room, "At least someone that can see the past. Just excuse the mess."

Nova can and started to head to the room and just as he was about to enter it, he sees something in his mind as well seeing something in the room that disturbed him and this made him back off for a moment.

"Well?"

"You speak the truth...that was...intense."

"Show them then. Show them that the choices he made is a death note to happen in the future."

He sighs and shows him a vison that shows Neutron being dragged into the very room the teams were in, and the solider said, "He wont listen to us. Think you can make him at least more...?"

"Submissive? But of course. We have ways, but you know the rules. Your boss is here anyway."

"Good. At least he will have fun with you," he said walking away talking about Neutron.

The dark clone spat at the solider as he left, to hear, "Dont do that here please."

He made a huff and said, "So you are with them too?"

"Only to punish those that break the rules of our world," the figure said, writing something down.

"Your world? Wait, I'm in a different one?"

"Yes sir. You weren't informed there's more then one?"

"No."

"I see. You must have to be either stupid or ignorant"

"That was not needed!" the dark clone said.

"Then know your place."

"Wait..." I said, "He is acting like..."

"OK Rookie, get in here!" the voice of Rugal was heard.

This got the one near us on alert as the vision showed him walking over in rage.

"Ive been hearing you keep disobeying orders and I'm glad you were finally dragged in here. I hope you have that much ignorance after I'm finished with you. After that, you'll to be judged again!"

"You don't scare me!"

"That so? Genocide Cutter!"

Neutron was kicked at his left eye hard and fast, making the clone cry out and cover it, not seeing it coming and was in stun himself before passing out from blood loss.

"Just I thought. Nothing but hot air," Past Rugal said and looks at the figure, "I'll be taking him to your boss now. He will have my eye in time once he has his first reset."

"As you wish. Just throw him in the back with the others and I'll keep in touch"

"That was..." I start.

The vision showed he wasn't completely out and recovered quickly to see he was on a mountain of bodies, all missing left eyes. As he looked around, he saw he was going to be sent into a machine that crushes them and starts tries to run to see a body had grabbed this leg. He managed to free himself in time before the hammer slammed on him. Didn't mean he got away cleanly as blood spelt far. He then spots a door out and starts to head for it, when he heard, "You are a resilient one."

He turns to see the figure as he continued, maybe you aren't wasted after all. Still lost but..."

"I'm not lost, I made my choice! I just want to be free!"

"Free from what?"

"From him and his twisted mindset! From death that I see, over and over again! I just want it to stop...Yes, I have no goals, no purpose, but you make it sound like choices and goals are not the same thing! It...has to stop. Now leave me be!"

"I would love to but I have a job to do...however...I can do one thing."

"What?"

"Let me fix that eye. Granted you were supposed to be reset first but...you seem to be an exception."

"Reset? You mean being crushed into a pulp?!"

"Death then brought back to life. Being brought back is a reset but you have to lose something to gain more."

"Say I lose an arm?"

"Yes, then you will be reset to give you the knowledge to make a new one and gain more power to handle the loss."

"I see...Will I remember the last reset?"

"It's rare, but it can happen, yes."

"One more thing...was I here before?"

The figure paused and said, "You have."

He was reset?

The vision vanished and Nova was spooked for a moment to see he was standing before many bodies, most looking like his allies but with parts missing and not just the eyes before spotting something large walk past a door.

[Shadow Dragon]

None of the men said anything to this, however.

[ganondorf2]

"Ah, that was T-N001. Our boss," the figure said.

This sent a chill down the good clone's spine, and asked, "Is it...?"

"It is indeed. Best you run if you see him."

[The Melee Master]

"Who is this T-N001?" Alvis asked with curiosity.

Jade glares at them, not taking his eyes off anyone.

[ganondorf2]

"I'm guessing that's a tyrant...that looks like my friend..." I asked in worry.

"Then some," he said, "He's heavily modified for battle. Oh and is a little bigger."

[Shadow Dragon]

"Size doesn't matter," said Luke, "it's all about skill!"

Tikal says nothing.

[ganondorf2]

"The voices are going crazy!" Nova said, "It's all telling me to get out of here!"

The sound of pounding was heard next at a steel door, seeing large fist dents at it and, as the figure calmly walks away, the door fell hard before we see a large figure standing near the doorway. Over 20 feet in height...No even bigger than that! He's practically a giant!

"When you said bigger..." I start as Nova took a few steps back.

He walked into the light, and we see he has a skull like face{Think the Phantom Ganon mask} and his right eye is missing, now having a glowing blue flame. He says nothing as he looks down at us then looks over fast to see Tikal and quickly walks over. Karson got worried as well as he never handled a tyrant this big before.

"I should tell you, T-N001 is the result of many of your choices..." the shadow said to Tikal, "Many from you and Asch...all of the resets. Before and after stopping StarDream. All because you didn't focus on the main threat first. Elfilis will kill you...again...unless you can change course."

For the first time, Nova didn't know what to do! All his senses were being blocked and his head filled with screams of terror. He got many memories from him, all from different times and all different ways he suffered. All to the same thing...death and being reset here.

RUN!
