Aubrey would be lying on the ground, an abyss surrounding her, voices reaching out to Aubrey before one catches her ear.

"Why did you abandon us, Aubrey?"

Aubrey's eyes snap to where the voice came from, only seeing a dark silhouette of someone standing next to her, staring down at her.

Aubrey jumps back and looks startled at the figure, fearful of the figure, she tries to get up, but her arms and legs are too weak to lift her.

It reaches out to her, its mouth opening up to a void, its arm stretching to her, and its body morphing into something uncanny to a human, Aubrey screams in utter fear.

She would wake up, in a cold sweat, her body shaking as she stumbles out of where she was sleeping and looked outside, only to see the fog still there.

"Damn it all..." Aubrey would say weakly as she would sigh, looking in the mirror, and noticing a chain tattoo on her face.

"What the fu..." She would say to herself in a quiet voice, only to see the younger her standing behind her, she grumbles to herself upon seeing the thing

"Hi again" she would say, sounding annoyed

"Hello, Aubergine!" The younger her would say, before its face morphs into a menacing grin that seems inhuman.

"What do you want?!" She would say angrily, reaching for her fire axe.

"Did you put this damn tattoo on my face? If you did I'm cutting you down from where you stand" she would say, grabbing the fire axe and getting ready to cut them down.

The younger her giggles, its eyes looking at said tattoo "You should thank me for that!" It floats and gets in her face. "Consider it a gift, you'll see later" it then smacks Aubrey "Oh yes, you're going to have a fun day!"

"Hey, you little!-" Aubrey blinks and they're gone, she sighs and looks back into the mirror "bitch..."

___________________________________________

She leaves her room, walking down to the front room only to see Mari frantically searching all over.

Aubrey walks over to Mari and asks "Hey Mari what's going-" She cuts off as Mari looks at Aubrey, Mari frantically asking Aubrey, "Aubrey! Aubrey have you seen him?!"

"Seen who?" Aubrey responds, having a bad feeling about this.

"Sunny! Sunny is missing!" Mari seems distraught by this, she goes back to looking for Sunny, trying desperately to find Sunny.

"What?" Aubrey says, a sinking feeling in her stomach "I thought you were watching him!" She would say, sounding slightly angry.

"I was! But then once I blinked, he disappeared!" She would say, as she would look desperate now "Oh Sunny! Where did you go?"

Aubrey sighs and looks for Sunny, after a while she enters the piano room, finally finding a note, simply reading, "Come to the castle, I'll be waiting, sincerely, King Maverick!"

Aubrey would be shocked by reading this, looking at the bottom of the note, also reading, "PS, I have sunny, come alone if you know what's good for you"

"Maverick you son of a" She stops herself, looking out the window, ready to find sunny again.

___________________________________________

After following the instructions on the back of the note, she comes across a giant castle that reaches up and touches the sky.

"Holy shit... You don't see that every day" she says to herself, but once she approaches the castle she starts to feel unwell, before falling onto the ground and blacking out, she sees someone approach her, wielding a scepter of some kind, hitting her on the side of her head.

___________________________________________

She wakes up, her ears ringing and her sight blurry, her legs feel weak and her muscles feel off, but before she can think a coherent thought, she sees a man standing next to her, once she sees the face, she immediately recognizes who it is.

"Well hello there Aubrey, former leader of the hooligans," Maverick says with a smug smile "Oh yeah, don't try to speak, your arm, leg, and mouth muscles have been weakened, so don't even think about trying anything"

Maverick grabs her mouth of Aubrey, taunting her and only trying to anger her, Aubrey is somewhat angered by this and tries to move her arms, only she can't move her arms.

"Now, there are going to be three scientists that will walk in and modify you, what will they do you might ask? They'll make you the greatest warrior! My warrior! My weapon of destruction"

He has a wide grin as Aubrey only has horror on her face, she sees the maverick leave as she slowly slips out of consciousness, and the last thing she hears is the whirling of chainsaws as she passes out.

___________________________________________

She would slowly wake up, to see that the cloaked figures would be on the other side of the room, she would look around, groaning slightly.

Then she realized she felt the muscles in her body again, yet she was restrained, all hope seemed lost until she heard humming next to her, she looked over to her side to see the younger her holding a remote.

The young Aubrey shushes Aubrey as she presses a button, the device on Aubrey's neck fries, and then the young Aubrey presses another button, saying "I wonder what this button will do"

The second button frees Aubrey from her restraints, the young Aubrey disappears and Aubrey herself gets up, the muscles in her body feel strange, she looks up and sees the two women looking at her, both menacing, one with a chainsaw in their hands and another with... Tentacles?

She stumbled back, hitting a table that had her stuff on it, she narrowly dodged the chainsaw and grabbed for anything, she grabbed her holorifle and aimed it at the woman "Eat this!" She shoots at the first woman, the first woman screams as she disintegrates, and she aims at the other woman would puts their hands up, Aubrey doesn't spare her either as she also shoots the other woman. The other woman yells in pain as they too, turn to ash.

___________________________________________

Aubrey would get up, getting her holorifle and fire axe, she would find a mirror and look at herself, only to see that her left arm was completely replaced with a new robotic arm.

"Wh... What have they done to me?!" She panics as she looks down at herself, she looks over at her robotic arm, looks in the mirror again, and notices that her right eye has been completely replaced with a red lens of some kind.

She was in utter terror, staring at herself in the mirror for what felt like hours.

Eventually, she snaps back to reality, slowly adjusting to the new parts of her body, her left arm feeling sore and her new eye still adjusting to her body.

___________________________________________

She opens the door that leads out of the room she's in, she peaks her head out of the doorway, noticing how empty it is.

She slowly walks out into the hallways, her fire axe in her hands, and her footsteps echo down the hallways.

After walking for what feels like ages, she would come across cells upon cells, skeletons within the cells, however, armored skeletons also litter the hallways, still clenching their ruined weapons.

However, as she walks, she hears someone behind her, she turns around, she raises her fire axe, only to stop in her tracks, looking at another familiar face, she stands there in utter shock as she finds someone dragging Sunny, but she knows who it is...

KEL?!
