Deep within the hollows of the underground basin of the lifeless red desert, a fortress framed in metal and wires lay. With the soulless wraiths that seem to echo through such long lonely halls, challenging even the bravest of hearts to stir. The scent of metal and sour fumes seemed to be the oxygen that engulfed the only pockets of air that were left, and as a lonely figure began to feel her nervous system twitch did the sinking feeling of fear start to become a realization.
At first it was just a bandaged finger that twitched, before heavy eyelids began pulsing as consciousness started surfacing. With a weak breathless gruff groan, the scepter managed an audible yet faint inward question, "Ugh..where am I?" With a frame as heavy as if gravity had struck her times two, barely could shift or twitch a single hair upon her brow. Try as she might, no matter how many times she blinked, all she could see was black. And then it came, that horrid voice that taunted her very mind to insanity..it was going to happen again..
"Looks like you're awake my sweet." Came the awkward pitches in this cracking voice. Just the notes alone were enough to send her memory replaying, making her stomach reel. She was in a lab underground..a prisoner of war no doubt. Her partner..did he escape? Flashes of light and sinister glints sped across her mind, making her muscles tense.
"Don't struggle, you will be out of here.." with a cackling laugh the male's voice sounded, "soon.."
The sound of a muted beep made her try to shift her face to her left..no doubt it was a heart monitor. As fear started taking over, the calm rhythmic beeps began speeding up at an alarming rate, until her body couldn't take much more of it and she went into a seizure.
"Karbuncle what's happening?" came worried tone from the far back.
"Looks like she's going into shock," came the awkward pitches from before once again.
"Well do something about it!" came the rising words of worry as the girl before them started twitching in very strange ways. Only after the girl was sedated did the seizures stop.
"Hehe.. yes your most gracious blue cheesiness.." came the sheepish response as the Doctor had re-submerged the now limp character in a tube filled with mucus.
Though the girl was limp, unfortunately her mind was fully conscious, and as she felt the slimy ooze touch her skin she could feel the hair behind her neck prickle, if only her mental words could echo..all she could think of crying out was, "No..no..no..no. NoNONONONONOOOOOOO" Once her face was submerged she could feel the needles prick her skin and she went out cold, with the image of a very tall and wide character grinning from behind the glass and a muffled, "Is she ready for the last phase?"
"Yes."
