Tales Of Morpheus- Season 1

Episode 18: The Rising

---Abby's POV---
I was at work, dispite the black gunk coming out of me. I grabbed a cloth and coughed into it. I looked at the black ooze and raised an eyebrow. My dad walked over.

"What is that?" Dad asked, with a slight concern in his voice.

"I don't know." I replied. "I've been coughing it up all day." My dad grabbed his keys. I know why.

"Come on." Dad said. "To the Toronto General we go." I placed the cloth in a bag and followed him.

At the hospital, after a lot of examination, the doctor walked over to me.

"That was ink." The doctor said. My dad and I both raised an eyebrow.

"How?" I asked.

"Well," The doctor stated. "We have recived a lot of people with the same problem last night. All members of Morpheus." My eyes widened. I thought only members know about Morpheus.

"Morpheus?" My dad asked. I sighed.

"Mr. DeHaan." The doctor stated. "Morpheus is a dream simulator that is run by a regular Joe. That is all anyone outside of membership knows. It has been circling the news lately."

"Really?" Dad asked.

"Yes." The doctor said. "It has caused all those weird behaviours last year. We don't even know what they do." I kept my mouth shut. Dad sighed.

"It just sounds rediculas." Dad said. "A dream simulator. Who made this up?" The doctor shrugged.

"We got the rest of the black ink out." The doctor stated. "Now I suggest bed rest for a week. Only to move to go to the bathroom. Understand?" My dad nodded.

At home, Haley came in with a bowl of mushroom soup and a slice of gluten free toast. That was all she had.

"Someone mentioned Morpheus." I said. "People know."

"I know." Haley said. She placed the tray down on my lap.

"What happened to my body?" I asked. "I don't know anything after that Bendy Monster attack, so tell me please?"

"Rebecca rushed you back to Morpheus." Haley replied. I froze.

"She came for me?" I asked. I took a spoon full of soup.

"Yeah." Haley said. "She didn't want to lose you." I sighed.

"Neither does dad." I stated. When my mom died and my brother decided that he didn't want to be associated with my dad, my dad grew depressed. I made sure that he was okay. He is my father after all.

"I just don't understand Becca." Haley said. "Why would she be so over protective of you?"

"I don't know." I replied. I took a bite into my toast.

"Well," Haley said. "I have play practice. I'll swing by after. See you."

"Bye." I said. Haley left the apartment. I sighed and pulled out my phone. MatPat was starting a GTLive stream. I love when he and Steph do those. I clicked on the stream, pulled out my tablet, and began working on my animation, "Factory Mayham". If I can't do one job, might as well work on another.

About 15 minutes in, the stream began to glitch. A voice that is all too familiar came on.

---MatPat's POV---
"Hello Internet! And welcome to GTLive!" I shouted.

"Hi everyone!" Stephanie shouted.

"Today," I stated. "We will be playing Little Witch Nobeta."

"In this game," Stephanie said. "We get to play as a little witch and explore ruins and discover magical creatures."

"This is going to be fun." I stated. We started playing the game. We chatted, Stephine read some comments, and we had some laughs. Suddenly, the stream started glitching.

"Jason?!" Stephanie shouted. "What's going on?!"

"I don't know." Jason said. "We're getting hacked by some guy named V1r0s." Suddenly, an image of X appeared.

"Hello mortals." X snarled. "I have hacked into every television, radio, podcast, and live stream to bring you this message. Morpheus, the organisation set to destroy me, is run by a few elite members including their leader, YouTube Animator Rebecca Parham of Let Me Explain Studios. Turn her over, or else there will be dire consequences. I also have a list of the higher ups I want destroyed as well, including Pewdiepie, Markiplier, MatPat, JaidenAnimations, theOdd1sout, CypherDen, and others. I will provide a full list. Destroy them, and you will be rewarded." Our stream turned back to normal. I looked at the camera.

"Loyal Theorists." I said. "Whatever you do, don't hand Rebecca Parham over and don't harm us. We will stop him."

"We're going to have to cut this short." Stephanie said. "Bye." We quickly turned off the live stream.

"We're screwed." Jason said. "Everybody is screwed. X wants us all dead."

"We need to protect each other." I stated. "Steph, I need you to take Oliver and you two need to go to your parents place."

"But what about you?" Stephanie asked.

"Jason, Chris, and I will stay here." I said. "Just go." Stephanie got up and rushed to Oli's room. She grabbed a suitcase and ran to the game room. Stephanie kissed me one more time.

"I love you." Stephanie whispered.

"I love you too." I whispered. Stephanie grabbed the suitcase and ran out. I watched her jump into the car and drive off. I began to pray she made it safely. Jason's phone rang.

"It's Ryder." Jason said. "He says Rebecca is fine. However, all the higher ups are on Viros' most wanted list. Along with Team Unity."

"Team Unity?" I asked. "Why?"

"They stopped X's attempt at a take over." Chris replied. "Remember Limbo?" I thought for a moment.

"Right." I said. "The Battle of Limbo."

"We just need to worry about us." Jason said. "We also need to keep in touch with everybody to make sure nobody gets turned in." I nodded and locked my doors. Nobody is safe.

A few hours later, Stephanie texted me that she and Oli were safe. I let out a sigh of relief. Now I need to get to Morpheus and see what Rebecca's plan is. She is our leader. She will know what to do.... Right?
