ATLAS: Event Horizon

Dead Earth

Atlas had fallen asleep inside the cage and woke up to the sound of the door opening. Moe got him up and lead him to the elevator. "Time for the tests to begin," Moe said to Atlas, but he did not respond. 

They got to the lab and he was tied up again to the chain. "Where do you come from Moe?" Atlas asked. "I am from a place called Chicago, it is, well was on a planet called earth, but it's long gone now, Jason found me on the streets, I was in a rock band but our band fell apart and I got sent to the streets and well got messed up with drugs, but he got me reborn and I got this," Moe showed his hand, which of course on it was a persian blue colored octagram, the same shade as his hair. "Listen, I am sorry that you have to go through all this, I feel bad, to be honest, even though we members of The M.O.B are not supposed to feel pity or sympathy, but I am sorry, truly I am, Jason, Styx, they are both psychopaths, but they are powerful, they could kill us instantly," Moe said. He heard footsteps and quickly finished tying up Atlas. Styx walked into the room and got out a pair of needle-nose pliers. "Thank you, Moe, that will be all for now. Moe got in the elevator and left. "Now then Atlas, let's see if this will break you," Styx said. She then clamped down on one of his fingers with the pliers and broke it. Atlas closed his eyes tight but did not yell or scream. "Bah, why won't you break!!" Styx shouted, she slapped him and began breaking his other fingers.

Fara, Aiden, and Wasp walked across the large void that was the dead earth, no life, no land, just flat black nothingness. "So tell me exactly how did this planet become this way?" Fara asked Aiden. "Well, it happened many years ago, I was 18 and i lived in a science research team up in the mountains, we study all kinds of things, but I was most interested in space, so I spent most of my time studying it, we saw some kind of large mass far off past our sun, but as the days went by it got closer, until one day it happened, whatever it was gained fast speed and shot right through the center of the sun destroying it and then it went straight for the earth and hit it, it destroyed everything and everyone, I was one of the only survivors, me and a person named Brutus, who I took on his name as a cover name for a while, we traveled for 15 days until he died, then I traveled for another 5 days, then I was rescued by...Jason," Aiden said. "What was the thing that destroyed everything?" Wasp asked. "I do not know, Brutus said it wad God's revenge against humanity, I am not so sure about that, and truthfully I may never know," Aiden said. 

They kept walking until they found an old church. "It is rare to find some things left, but sometimes you will," Aiden said. They walked inside. It was a small chapel. Everything inside was very old and dusty, the pews were stacked up and the podium was knocked over. There were lots of small words carved into the walls which said things like: "Save us oh lord", "Don't leave me alone", "Deliver Us" and so on. "What are all these words?" Fara asked. "I guess people who stayed here before the earth died, it was already in an apocalyptic state, the dead rose and were killing everything, a lot of the population had been wiped out and so many people were forced to leave their homes so I am sure some people probably stayed here for a while," Aiden said

Styx finished beating up Atlas and breaking his full right hand and many fingers on his left hand. "Hmm, no signs of wanting to scream or anything, I am truly shocked, no one gets this far, they usually pass out or die right here," Styx said. She picked up a big red wrench. "Maybe this will help," she said as she smacked Atlas in the face with it. He groaned and spit out blood. "Is that all you got?" he said. She smacked him again. Atlas smirked. "Come on, is that all," he said. Styx began repeatedly hit him over and over again. The end of the wrench was getting covered in blood. "Aghh!! you bitch!" she said hitting him a few more times. Moe walked into the room. "Styx, Jason wants to speak to you," he said. "Fine, Sasha! get in here and clean this damn mess!" Styx shouted she slammed the wrench on the table. Sasha walked in and began to clean the floor. Styx and Moe got into the elevator and went up. "Don't you think you are doing it a little too much torture?" Moe asked. "Do you feel bad for him?" Styx asked. "N-no of course not!" Moe said. "Good, or else I was going to report it to Jason," Styx said.
