I was leaning on one knee, surveying the large building ahead of me. I was perched on quite a tall hill, yet the structure still towered above me in the distance. I could see multiple steves, I assumed them to be steves, walking around the many paths around and on the facility. My mission was to get in and out without being caught or noticed. You may be wondering why I'm doing this, what the facility is, and who I am. I'll answer those questions in the opposite way they were listed.
I'm Light Steve. In fact, I'm the first Light Steve that was ever created. So you probably know my story up to around this point, at least my time with Sabre, Rainbow Steve, and Lucas . The facility in front of me is known as The Unknown Facility. Not that what goes on inside is unknown, it's called that as it's the place where the Unknown Steves have been coming for. What are the Unknown Steves? They are similar to Dark Steves, although they seem much more evolved then darkness, and much darker than normal Dark Steves, almost pitch black in fact. I'm pretty sure they are the ones that are walking around, although a few of them are white, and not like Light Steves, pure white. I don't remember anyone mentioning anything about steves like them. In Fact some of them don't even look like steves. I feel like I may be a tad underprepared for this. But I've never failed a mission so far, and I'm not gonna start now. So, what is my mission? Find out how the Unknown Steves are created, and report back to base. But I was hoping that I could do more, that I could shut down their production completely. Hopefully my bosses wouldn't mind me changing my orders if it was still successful.
Now that you're caught up, I think it's time I get started. As I began to stand, I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. As I turned to look, an Unknown Steve jumped out from behind a tree and hit me in the back hard, making me stumble. As I regained my balance and began to turn to fight, another Unknown Steve jumped out from where I had seen movement before. I grabbed his fist as it raced towards my head and pushed it aside. The other Unknown Steve swung, so I grabbed his arm and tried to twist it, but the second Steve grabbed my arm and yanked me to one knee. Before I could stand up, an almost pure white steve ran up behind me, and kicked my leg out from under me. Before I hit the ground, the first Unknown Steve kicked my head, making the world around me spin. As I lay on the ground, with the three steves standing over me, another one approached me. But as they got closer, I realized they weren't a steve at all. They were the same color as the Unknown Steves, but their arms were slim, and they had hair flowing down their shoulder. It was an Unknown Alex. I definitely didn't have enough Information for this I thought as she approached. She stood and looked down at me for a moment, then smiled.
"Night night" was all she said before reaching down and punching me hard in the face, causing everything to go dark.
My eyes slowly blinked open. I was laying on a cold floor, and it was very bright all around me. I sat up quickly, my head searching the room I was in. There were sea lanterns in the ceiling, and the rest of the room was made out of iron blocks, which explains why it was so bright. As I stood up, I felt the feeling of multiple sets of eyes staring at me. I turned around quickly, and realized that one of the walls was made of glass. And on the other side of the glass were two Unknown Steves and one of those white steves. They were staring at me with about as much emotion as a creeper.
"This is where you'll stay until the boss figures out what to do with you." said the first Unknown Steve.
"More than likely use him for one of his experiments. Maybe even his big one." followed the white steve. The Unknown Steves laughed, then walked out of my view. I walked over to the glass window. Past where the three steves had just stood there were more unknown steves, and a few of the other white kind. I didn't see any alexs of either type, which I found curious. I was definitely inside the facility. I could tell by the dark gray walls. Well getting inside was part of my mission, now I just had to get out. The first thing I realized when I began to work on an escape plan was that this room blocked my energy. Which meant I couldn't get out using my powers. The next thing I tried was breaking the glass. Lets just say that option was out when I punched the glass and my fist bounced off and into my own face. I checked the entirety of the room, and there was not a single crack, hole, or even worn spot to be found. The only other thing I could think of was seeing if I could break the sea lanterns in the ceiling. While i stood in the center of the room looking up trying to figure out how i could reach them, I again realized I was being watched. I turned to look, expecting it to be the steves from before, or maybe even this so-called boss they had mentioned. But it wasn't either. It was the Unknown Alex that had knocked me out.
