It was nothing but silence, no noise, no ambience. The lights gave no sounds, the walls gave no creaks and darkness scattered about the place like the ceiling lights were uneven throughout the room. There was nothing, just a puke beige room with carpet of the same drab colors and patterns one would expect from a dated office from the late eighties to early nineties. Dust lined the walls and floors, lights occasionally flickering before reverting back to full power as well as the halls feeling seemingly endless. Everything about this place felt like a barren purgatory, like a world displaced from our own.
“HELLO…?!”
The mind grating silence finally shattered, a loud voice echoed out and Evelyn Roads walked through the carpet laden floors. She was being loud like usual but now wondering where she even is, the place felt never ending to her as her eyes scanned about and her ear tried to catch any noise that wasn’t her own. She had no idea where she was, everything looked the same and it felt like she wasn’t even going anywhere from what it seemed.
“Where the fuck am I even? Place looks like a dated ass office out of the eighties minus the vending machines and cubicles… Also lack of floofy curly hair and porno staches as well as the jazz cups flooding the place.”
Stepping around columns and ing beams, the lost black haired woman just kept on going. She occasionally pulled out something to fidget while she was figuring out where she was, checking her phone to withdrawing her beastly gun just to twirl the impossible handgun. Figuring out an idea, she shattered the mind numbing silence by blasting a wall and column to leave a mark behind before she began to continue walking along the place. Taking heed of where she shot, she was speeding up her movement to see how long till she would encounter the gunshot marks.
“Patty cake, patty cake, baker’s man… Bake me a cake as fast as you can… If you don’t, I’ll violently give you flak… Ah-hah!!”
Stopping her little song, the woman spotted where her shots landed as the black leaking bullet holes were in the same spots. Leaning in and analyzing the holes left in the walls while trying to pluck the drywall, the black haired woman took a sniff of the dusty material to which she realized that it lacked anything distinct more so then one would expect. Driving her curiosity more, she even took a lick of the material and realized that it didn’t even have a taste. Evelyn quickly stood up and looked around the area and just gave an exhausted sigh before speaking her mind to no one but herself.
“I’m trapped in some stupid alt reality bullshit which could either mean I found some way to break reality and fell into the code of the universe… Or some fucks tricked me and trapped me in here. Alright, here’s to hoping for the second one which means there could be a chance of a back door that could get me out of here. Maybe a failsafe that could disable it and get me out, which would usually be left by those who could get out if they were mistakenly pulled in here and… Fuck it, I’m breaking this place.
The eldritch cursed woman drew her guns and began to shoot at the walls and columns that line the room till it began to flood with haze from her guns. The walls chipped and cracked but nothing was punching through like it was shooting the top layer of the walls but not digging further. Once her fourth set of guns were used, she readjusted her conjuring and caused her weapons to form into a larger weapon as the gun fired continuous buckshot like it was a form of automatic weapon. Once she wafted away the haze, the walls remained cracked but unbudged by her fire power so she would try to call her other weapon till she realized that it was appearing.
“Oh, mother fucker… Right, cause I have my ring on me but my other weapons come from an outside plane of existence. FUCK IT… Abyssal Will…”
Her mind began to calm itself down, like a crowd clearing the streets before someone would begin to pull away the floodgates. Staying still and taking a steady posture of herself, the air above Evelyn’s head began to fluctuate as if something was trying to pry itself into the room. The space above her flickering with a bright green fire till eventually the crown of the Queen in Black soon tore through the space in question.
“... This Is MY World.”
Once the crown formed and her eyes slowly opened, the room went dark. It was silent but the fire lit the surrounding darkness, the room losing about all of its color to what she was becoming. After a few seconds, the room flickered back as it was beginning to line with alien material that formed back during the Manhattan Incident but it was just a mass devouring the walls. Where they existed, the reality around it was slowly breaking with things going in and out of existence. The woman could see what she was doing and what she was hoping for but something was off by her standards.
“Wait… Are those… Doors? What the hell…?”
As she was looking closely, doors began to fluctuate into the room before they soon fully formed. With her head tilted out of curiosity, the crowned woman watched till suddenly the doors slammed open as they led to various locations but something overshadowed those pathways. Massive beasts began to emerge into the room, many snarled while others would chitter. They looked about but ignored one another as they turned their attention towards the crowned woman as she just stood with a bit of a slouch and wonder. She couldn’t make heads or tails of what she was looking at due to how wild and alien many of the monsters looked to her. Most of what she would have hunted tended to have some kind of comprehensible form but the ones before her just all looked messy and wild. Before she could say a word, many began to lob various projectiles and roaring towards her as she would pose in a way that allowed her to dodge what came her way. Looking back at what was sent her way, she turned around and gave herself a wide, toothy grin.
“Well, well, well… Maybe I won’t be bored now. Granted, I did seem to break something especially when all of you seem to have shown your ugly mugs… This place has more going on and it has me relatively excited. Now… Face your q̡͕̫u̡͍͔e͉̠e̘̙͚n͉̟͎.̢̻͍”
Her form remained the same but her crown began to roar loudly, she reached out and motioned the monsters that approached in a taunting manner. The larger of the beasts charged forward while those with a semblance of patience tried to prowl around the woman. Regardless of what happened, Evelyn was already in her mosh pit of violence as her body was held together while she had monster flesh caught either between her fingers or her own teeth. She needed no weapons nor any actual strategy here, they were trapped in the confines of a woman’s mercy as she tore her way through her adversaries in quick succession. A burly monster would swing but she would catch her thick forearms before she had them removed from their body and skewered through several other monsters before she would take the flailing monster and tear them away like a sheet of paper.
“This isn’t my first rodeo, ya know!!”
The gore pile continued to grow while Evelyn stood with bloodied glee, her smile clear across her face as more and more monsters fell by her hand. The monsters continued to fall apart from everything she did, rendering each one into ribbons by her hands which seemed peculiar about how she was dealing with these monsters. Evelyn did not use her usual abilities since her battle began, relying on her own normal self yet her crown remained in place over her head as she was done twisting the life from her beastly foe as she flipped over them and stood with a confident pose as the body fell limp.
“Ohhhh… Numbers are dwindling!”
She continued on and on, the gore drenching the walls and floors as it mingled with the fluctuating masses that she spawned into the room. They fell in various ways as one monster stood by as it took a defensive stance towards her, even if the Queen in Black loomed over it like the room was much bigger then it was. As it continued to back away, static was erupting behind the creature till gunfire went off and a bright light shined in the room, Evelyn shielding her eyes from the shine that entered the dull room.
“Evelyn, this way!!”
Recognizing the voice, Evelyn began to run as she ed the dying creature and reached the light before suddenly hearing the familiar noise that is the bustling city. As she stepped out, the black haired and now crownless woman would look about as she noticed the glistening blonde hair she knows too well right before her.
“Evelyn!! What happened!?”
“MARY!! Where are we!? I was stuck in a room and monsters showed up and, and, and… It looked like a drab office out of the eighties that folks should forget existed! It was awful!!”
Evelyn was just bear hugging the blonde and armed woman known as Mary as she was being turned into a personal rag doll with how much she was hugging her. Once the pleasantries were settled, Evelyn looked around and spotted all the corpses of soldiers that laid across the area as she realized they were in a floating cargo ship as she noticed the opened container that had various machines and devices attached to it.
“Evelyn, take a seat and I will explain what happened…”
“Oh, okay.”
Listening to her explanation, Mary would tell about how a specialized imprisoning and containing device was discovered as she stumbled into a trap that she didn’t know about. A private military company was using it as a way to permanently hide high value targets as well as find a way to preserve whatever targets they were going after. It was there that Evelyn figured out that she was targeted to be removed from the world but she proved herself better then whatever they were trying to use.
“Holy… How the fuck did they get their hands on this?!”
“T.R.E.S. leaked a system that was still in its trial stage and this group found a way. I notified the Council and the Association about this one, no idea what they will do but hopefully it will be dealt with.”
“To think… They really did catch me.”
“... You used your powers, didn’t you?”
“... I had to figure out stuff.”
“I know, your powers seem to… rebel… Against everything. Like you are personally telling whatever you are rebelling against to go fuck itself. You made something that was capable of creating artificial dimensions and entrapping anything and turned it into your own.”
“That’s what I figured. Its like I make whatever I want to be my own, cutting off anything that gets in my way… And I kinda like it.”
“I am going to pretend I never heard you say that.”
“Sorry… But I have this now. Like I can bend anything how I want. Maybe these military fucks have something to shit themselves over. All that tech… And I can make it all nothing.”
“Just do not lose yourself to it, no more repeats of what happened on Christmas.”
“... Never again.”
