>After the horrible ritual, everyone prepared to meet Scott >When everyone was equipped, all went into the minivan >The drive was quick, and everyone reaches the abandoned train station >The place looks ominous, but you know what to do. You aren't scared anymore "Everyone wait here. If I don't come back in 15 minutes, then you girls go and contact BOI. Nolan, you go in" >Everyone nods >You grab the cursed objects, and go inside the station >At the entrance, there's a map of the building >Train area, lobby, security, bathrooms, and cafeteria >The lobby is quite big, may as well check it >A walk later you confirm your theory: the dried blood stains and smell of cheap beer and extasis proves this was the place where the rave happened >The stage wasn't even moved. All the equipment is there >You check the stage and see behind the big curtains >A door to the exterior. Like if somebody was meant to enter here >You check the stereos. They are still functional >Finally, the turnable >Is full of underground trash metal, but something caughts your eye. >A polaroid. It has a picture with it >When you see it, you see Ace and Klatch wearing thigh leothard pants, clothes handles, and Ace has a shirt that says "Stars can't shine without darkness" >You would be laughing if you weren't cringing so bad right now >You see a big cut in Coffee's right arm. That's how Scott got his blood >Checking the area, you find a door to an underground cellar, but it's locked >The key must be in another place >Well, no need to keep around the lobby >You turn, and see how spacious it is >A silly idea comes to mind "You would not believe your eyes..." >The eco flies across the room, but no answer "... If ten million fireflies..." >The same incident, and the same result: no answer >Well, no one is going to kill your mood now "Lit up the world as I fell sleep~~" >You sing "fireflies" until you reach the security office >Nothing fancy: a desk with some drawers, an archive, a board, and a locker >You check the drawers and archives, but nothing of interest >Just taxes, earnings, and events. Looks like the railroad closed 50 years ago >You check the locker, and find a more detailed map >The cellar is marked in there. It reads "deposit" >Ace and Coffee must be in there >You inspect the buttons, and press one that says "main power" >A few moments later, the lights are up, and the rave music blast for some time until it cuts off >Looks like the dust damaged the equipment internally >A fake brick falls because of the vibrations, and see a key >It reads "door 3" >The others must be around somewhere >You grab your phone and call Nolan >"Dude, what happened?" "What do you mean?" >"You turned the lights on and blast that shitty black metal?" "Yup. I was in the control panel, and pressed a few buttons. I didn't knew the rave turnable and stereo were still connected. How long I've been in?" >"10 minutes" "Ok. Get in with the girls. Wait for me in the lobby" >"Alright" >You hang up and go to the bathroom >Inside, there's no much to see: floors and walls, broken mirror, and there's a broken sink. The other was stolen >Now that you think about it, you didn't went to the bathroom during all this. May as well go before you piss yourself >In the 3 bathrooms there was always something bad: one was infested with bugs, and the other has police tape. You didn't bother to open that one >You went to the last one. At least is only dirty >You unzip your pants, and take a leak "Now that's the ticket" >A moment later, you pull the chain >The tank goes crazy, and explodes! >You cover yourself, but see something shiny jump out to the bathroom closed by the police "Goddammit Scott. You had to hid it in there?" >You go to the other bathroom, and kick the door open >While it was bad, it wasn't as bad as you though: there's stains of blood and some papers with numbers. Whatever body it was here, the police took it >You check the toilet: no water, but the key is there! >It says nothing, but it looks for a drawer >Examinating it a bit, it doesn't look from the security drawers >Well, the guys must be at the lobby now >You go back to them "Hey guys" N: Hey Norman SS: Found anything yet? "Only a few keys. One it's for a drawer, and the other reads "door 3"" SS: Something else? "These files, but only says about the economy of the station" TS: Let me see them >Purple reads them for a bit TS: Well, you might not believe me, but this train station was an hotel once. The prints are lost, but that door that opens to the exterior took to the main hotel. And the cafeteria had a few rooms too "How many?" TS: 3 rooms. Maybe your key opens that room "May as well try. You guys wait here, ok?" SS: Wait a minute norman, if this can takes us to Scott, what are you going to do? "Hear his demands, recover our missing agents, and kill that fuckface" SS: Kill? Are you nuts? >You and Nolan look at her with a "bruh" face SS: You... mean it? "I've been through a lot thanks to that hipster asshole during all night. I'm going to show him my take on post-ironic murder in one minute" >You leave the lobby and go to the cafe >As purple said, it looks more like the dining hall of a hotel >You can see the kitchen, the tables, and the counter where the sells were made >Checking more of the walls, you find a fake one >You tear it up, and find a door that reads 3 >Using your key, you unlock it and see inside. The smell is horrible >No light, so you are using your phone >The room looks from the end of 1900, and it's very basic: a bed, a wardrobe, and a night stand >You use your key on the night stand, and open it. It has a book inside >A diary. Most is illegible, except the last part "Th--ay... Fraid i ma-- b... Mistake. Grog.... And they aren't ----. No one must open.... Hidden here. God forgive me, but neither his salvation can do to us any good" >You could barely read the text, but you understand enough >You run back to the lobby, but no one is there >You check the door to the underground cellar, but it's locked >Where are they? "Guys, where are you?" >The eco goes through all the place, but no answer >You walk up the stage, and check if something's different >There's a box of beanie snacks >Whoa, you didn't saw these since you started in CHS "It's obviously a set-up, but what the Hell" >you grab a handful of beanie bits, and eat it >Yup, taste as good as you remember *gulp* "Ahh, that was good" >Suddenly, you feel something touching your shoulder >You turn around, and see it's Frankestein, Dracula, a mummy, and a werewolf "Ahhhh!!!!" >You run in place, making a "tucutucu" sound, and blast at the speed of light >https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=chz8TnoznDc >Even though you ran very fast, the four monster are following you >Hey, when the train station changed into a corridor with 8 doors? >Who cares, you just run into one >The monster follow you, but something happens >For some reason, the room doesn't change, but the outcome does >You run from the top to down >The monsters run separately >Everyone enters at random doors, some just turning back and enter to the same side of the doors >You follow a monster, the monster follow themselves, and you are sure at some point you ran with a skinny boy and a very tall dog >The monster travel in a dual bicicle, other in a monocicle, and the other just try to choose where to go next >After all that, all the monsters and you walk backwards until everyone clash their backs and run scared "Ahhh!!!" >You turn your head back only to see the monsters aren't close anymore "Oh man, that was spooky" >When you turn to see in front of you, you hit a wall and pass out >You wake up in a very weird looking cavern >All your friends and the agents are there! "Guys? Hey! I found you! >You stand up N: Norman! Don't! "Wha-!" >You are stabbed by the back, and a lot of blood comes out of the wound >You fall hard on the floor again, and see is one of the cultists of the cafe! "You... Are.... Alive?" >"You have killed my brothers, but our prophecy will be fulfilled" >He grabs the ritual book and the doll of Scott >"now I-!" >His skin melts off until a shape comes out >It's Scott! >https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=esNjitDLW8Q [Trillby's notes OST - 5 Danger] >"Now that's better. We can start" >Candles light up out of nowhere, and you see your friends and agents tied up "You maniac! What are you-! Agh!" >"Please Norman, don't speak. You will accelerate your death. That stupid cultist had to stab you in the worst place" "Death?!" >Using his powers, he moves your friends as ritual pillars. Now Coffee is in front of you, but Ace is still behind of Scott >"This is the first universe where I don't kill you. Your skills will be useful to me" >>"You lunatic! I won't let yo-!" >Scott ties his scarf around Ace's mouth, gagging him >"That's better. Let's end this" >He reads the text in a strange language >You have to do something! >Maybe distracting him will work "Hey, Scott, want to see Dave Matthews band when this is over?" >You look at him, but he looks like he is another place >Looks like that was unnecessary >You take BOI's watch, and shot a mini lazer to Nolan's binds >He gets released, but shakes his hands a bit. Looks like you burned him accidentally "Take them.... Now!" >Nolan unties everyone N: Now! Everyone go to the door! >Everyone runs to the entrance, but they found out is locked SS: Oh no! TS: What are we going to do?! AT: *kick* Don't you stand there! Bring it down! CK: Ace, it won't work! The door is locked by a level 5 spell. We are trapped AT: We still have to do something! S: Like this? >In a finger's snap, red giants hands grab your friends, and put them in the position they were before SG: Now, wait here >A red mist forms around their necks, and they start to choke >Everyone except for Ace SG: Get used to the sights, you'll do this for quite a while AT: When I get rid of this, you'll be- hmmmm! >One finger blocks his mouth >You try to stand up, but Scott throws a dagger to your shoulder "AHHH!" S: Stay down Norman, we are about to finish >"In the void, where even existance lost it's meaning, we reunite the sacrifices to call The Beast. With blessed agonies, we call you to stop this madness! End it!" >Some flashes happens, and you see the shade of your copy "Why... Why me?" >"You see norman, I didn't do this one time. I have been doing this since you killed Rarity" "I what?!" >The flashes gets faster >"When I invited you to the rave, you ate her. You took her heart, and you put it in your pocket, and you deny it. Slowly, Grogar's power corrupted you, and you started to hunt down the guys from the party, with genocidal results" >The cavern turns into some sort of ritual room, and you are on a pedestal >"... But in this universe, you and Rarity didn't went, so I was the sacrifice. My soul was swallowed by Grogar, but something happened: my ironic death was perfect to corrupt him. A while later, I was Grogar!" >The flashes start to get intense, and the shape starts to look more solid >Your friends start to struggle to breath >"I'll release them now. They need to hear this" >They are free from the choking, and start to breath agitated >"Now, everyone listen. When I found out about the other "you", I made him my slave. A small hypnosis spell did everything, but it has it's limits: I have to kill another "you"s to keep the charade up. He believes he is still hunting down the perpetrators, when he was the guilty one. And who is better to guide him than his friend from the fashion club?" "You... Psychopath.... I won't...." >"Oh, but that is the best part. You already did" >Ace gets rid of the finger >>"Norman! Sometimes to win, you need to give up!" >Scott kicks him in the face >"Silence! He is already here" >The last flash made appear your copy >The feeling of exposure and helpness was replace by horror and inminent death >Your blood comes out more quickly because your heart rate went up insanely >"Norman, look! I found the man who killed Rarity!" ".... n.... o...." >The copy walks all the way to the pedestal >Everyone is looking at him scared, but you got it worst >You can see his eyes: pure hatred NN: Any last words? >Your heart is at your peak, and you feel really weak for all the blood loss >This is the end >You pass out, and close your eyes ------- S: Go ahead Norman, kill him! >The copycat rises his hand, and his fingers grow tall and pointy N: Hahahaha! SC: What is so funny, Saint? N: It passed 5 minutes SC: So? >A noise is coming from outside >https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fcQNJIMMDZY [Rhymefest - Shut you down] >The roof blows out, and lots of Saints come down with guns and penetrators >The nightmare realm explodes, and everyone are back in the real world >The shadows fly away, and get lost in the clouds >The copy Norman gets beated up and gets launched to the sky Team Rocket style SC: How did you found us?! N: I called them SC: What?! N: When that box of beanie bits appeared in the turnable, I knew something bad was going to happen. I gave them 5 minutes and I told them where to find us SC: You have any idea about what you had done?! He is free now! N: Actually, that's on you. And since you been nothing but a prick in our asses... >Nolan takes a black box from his pockets, turning into a big sofa with two machine guns N: ... We'll get rid of you. We'll take care of the other Norman when he comes back >All the Saints point and shoot Scott >Whatever he had, it went with him >The book, the scarf, the fedora, and the box where destroyed >Only the heart was left, and Scott was on a giant puddle of blood and guts SC: You.... Idiot.... You can't kill a God! N: LT Gat did it, so fucking watch me >Nolan steps on the heart, exploding in a giant flash of demonic power blasting to all directions >After that, Scott was dead, and everyone was safe, except for one person >Norman >You are Nolan, and back in HQ, you are outside of the barn looking at the sky >Coffee comes out >"Mr. North" "Oh, hi Klatch. How is him?" >"In a coma. I'm afraid the encounter was too much for him. He won't be up after one year" "Can you guys help him? Being in a bed attached to a machine isn't good to anyone" >"If we push him, he'll be as dead as Scott. It's not up to disscusion: he will rest in the medic area" >You look down "I shouldn't have suggested him to join us" >"Probably, but regardless he turned out to be a good agent. He will need more training, but he has the ropes" >You look up a little bit "Typical of Norman. He always took the hard shit on the face and took the problem for us" >"Take the rest of the day off. We all have been through a lot. I'll file you in and prepare your report. You can go now" >You only walk to the street, call a Saint to pick you up, and leave HQ Epilogue >"You can come out now Ace" "Man, I still feel guilty. If I didn't followed those signals..." >"Don't take it too hard. We were doing our jobs like protocols said" "You know, that beanie boy really is lucky. All that blood loss and the heart attack would let anyone in the other side" >"I don't know why you had a special interest in that kid. Even Nolan is better" "I'm getting older Coffee. I've been in the agency for a very long time, and I'm sure someday time will run a check on me. Norman has been through a lot even when he wasn't forced to do it, and survived. This mission proves it. Not all proffesional agents come back after dealing with dark magic" >"Well, even if you want to help him, he is out for a year. We can't do nothing" "...." >"Oh God Ace, did you-" *Takes out two small shinning gems* "I still have two wishes left" >"You know what Mr. Smile will do to you when he realizes you used equestrian elements?!" "I know. The kid only needs experience. Trust me, in a year he will be as cool as me. Probably more" >"Are you going to train him?" "Only the best for the best. We have a full year anyway"
