3rd POV
Back at the sack we see two scientists in full hazmat suits. One waves around the wand of a geiger counter, meanwhile the other writes down notes.
Hazmat1: "How's it looking?"
Hazmat2: "Levels have spiked slightly."
The first scientist jots down the observation. The second scientist waves the geiger counter when a faint noise is heard.
Hazmat2: "Did you say something?"
Hazmat1: "No."
Hazmat2: "Huh. could've sworn you said something."
Hazmat1: "Nope. Been quiet as a church mouse."
Hazmat2: "Well if it wasn't you, then who the hell..."
They both look at the sack. That's when faint squelching can be heard.
Hazmat1: "What's that sound?"
The second scientist leans closer to the sack.
*
Robyn: "Whatcha got for me Marty?"
Marty: *on scroll* "You have a right to be concerned. Boys in white say we're losing a lot of energy. Grid can barely keep up."
Robyn: "They know why?"
*
Hazmat2: "Sounds like... wet meat being shifted through."
They lean away before brandishing a knife. Plunging it into the sack they make a little slit. Putting away their knife they peel back layer after layer of the sack
*
Marty: "All they can see is that it's being siphoned. Like something's consuming it."
*
Pulling back the last layer they're presented with a clear layer. They then peer inside.
Hazmat1: "Anything?"
*
Robyn: "You thinking it's that one villain again?"
*
Hazmat2: "Nope."
Just then an eye comes into view.
Hazmat2: "Got something."
Hazmat1: "What is it?"
Hazmat2: "An eye."
*
Marty: "We checked. He's currently behind bars."
*
Hazmat1: "An eye? Why would there be an eye in there?"
The eye looks right at the scientist. It then blinks causing the scientist to show the fear of god.
Hazmat2: "Shit."
*
Robyn: "Then what the heck could-"
She's suddenly cut off by an alarm going off. They rush to the sack where they find the second hazmat scientist screaming at the top of his lungs.
Hazmat2: "It's got my arm, someone help!!!!!!"
Dos rushes to the scientist. There he sees his arm inside the sack where heavy crunching can be heard. Wasting no time Dos raises his left arm, manifesting a sword made of burning embers. With a single swing the scientist is relieved of his arm.
Robyn: "What the hell happened!?!?!?!"
Hazmat1: "The sack is alive!!!!"
Everyone stares at the sack in horror. That's when an arm springs out.
Hazmat2: "That's my arm!!"
Grabbing ahold of the sack, it's torn open. Gallons upon gallons of liquid come rushing out. When the last of it escapes a figure in a full body hooded cloak emerges. Fear and dread fill the room as all eyes land on the figure. Red orbs then manifest in the shadow from the hood covering its face, further adding to its haunting appearance.
Robyn: "Who... or what are you?"
The figure looks around at all the people in the room. They then settle on Dos and Robyn.
???: "I... am... the end."
