A Journey of a Stranger
Chapter 15: Others?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIn a mountain somewhere in East Equestria, A city made of metal and stone filled with robots, humans (which skins are ranged from black to blue), and goblins (little green long pointy nosed creatures that are no more than 3 feet tall). This city is a mix of stainless steel buildings and stone structures and statues with a few military camps and factories and a palace as the centerpiece. The place is huge with long hallways with big and small rooms (each with their own parts to play in the palace, city, and the future fate of Equestria). This city even has many defenses either hidden or out in the open waiting for something that not supposed to be there to show with walls and gates dividing the people from the outside dangers.
The ruler of this city is a black man with a fancy blue jumpsuit, gray gloves and boots and a golden helmet with 3 star shaped rubies and drink holders with straws as his personal crown. The ruler called himself, Emperor Vulcan.
Emperor Vulcan is walking out a room labeled sensor viewing room with one of his assistants (A metal Cyclops shipyard worker).
The assistant says, “That show was fairly decent.”
Vulcan says, “Keep trying. That show has a bad influence.”
“Please explain, sir.”
“I don’t like it showing that as you have someone who is bad it will make your dreams and deep desires will come true as long as you don’t tell anybody or do nothing to change bad person’s habits. Have that show reviewed again.”
The assistant types down the complaint and sends it in email form to the sensor department. He gets notifications from the operations room. He reads them quickly.
The assistant says proudly, “We got them, Sir.”
Vulcan asks, “Alive?”
“Yes. They are in the medical center being upgrade with the respawn system and the uber devices with their new hearts.”
“They are using the new knockout gas on them, right?”
The assistant sends a message to the medic bots and they confirm the use of knockout gas.
The assistant says, “Aye, they are using it.”
Vulcan says in relief, “Good that is a painful process… it doesn’t help when you see your old heart explodes.”
“I got skipped that second part.”
Vulcan goes to his silver throne and sits in it. The rest of his assistants (mostly other robots) are talking about the plans for the new arrivals.
He turns to his metal doctor assistant and asks him, “Doc Uber tell me what we know about our new guys?”
Doctor Uber pulls out his clipboard and scans it.
After the clipboard is scanned, Doctor Uber shows the Emperor a picture of a big looking bald brute with messed up teeth in his slime.
Doctor Uber reads the information in his German accent,
“Subject 1: Lock the Slave.
He is 9 feet and 3 inches tall and weights 823 pounds and an ounce.
Skin color: Mostly dark brown with white “spots”
Hair color: none because he has no hair anywhere on him.
He has the pointed star of Iron Talons in the Griffin territory on his head. It resembles a Star of David
Current job: Door guard.
Favorite weapon: Club
Light drinker of Wine.
Recommend role of the Empire: Solider or Manual Labor.”
Vulcan looks at him and asks, “I did tell you to find humans and bring them back here alive, right?”
“My emperor, it is a human. We checked his DNA and it is mostly human.”
“Mostly?”
“We have a theory that this subject is a subspecies. The DNA tells us that built for a different gravity or to be some sort of super soldier with a thick body at the cost of intelligence.”
“Dam, you guys brought back a super soldier? I am impressed. No seriously, that is an awesome thing to do. Someone give that team some medals and a choice of great prizes.”
An assistant looked like soldier says, “I do it.” He grabs 2 small lockboxes and storms out of the throne room.
The Emperor looks back to Doctor Uber and asks, “Who is next?”
Doctor Uber flips to the next sheet has a picture of a young woman with burn and scar marks, red eyes, a red Mohawk, and black lips.
He reads her info,
“Subject 2: The Hydra’s pet
She is 5 feet 10 inches tall and weights 151 pounds and 7 ounces.
Hair color: Red
She has a bunch of scars and brunt marks. We assume that the scars are from discipline. We don’t have proof for or against the theory because most our bots on this operation… never reported back. She speaks in a dragon’s language so she will be difficult to understand. She has only one boob and the other appears to be ripped off.
Current job: Unknown
Favorite weapon: fists
Recommend job: Unknown”
Vulcan says, “She is safe in our borders now. Someone give those brave troops medals, a month break, and get them a strange weapon or hat each.”
Vulcan pulls out a strange little key from one of his pockets.
The metal baseball assistant grabs the key and says, “I got it.”
He dashes out of the throne room.
Doctor Uber says, “You’re very generous today, sir.”
The Emperor says, “I want to inspire the troops not to kill anyone that I want back alive unless I say otherwise. Speaking about death why didn’t they come back, we have the respawn systems, don’t we?”
Doc Uber says with regret, “That group was under the command of AL4…”
“Captain Spear Head. I thought I send him to be retrained by another commander.”
“You did, sir but Commander B… Brock tried to do a stealth mission to get the girl before the respawn system was set up but he got crushed.”
The Emperor gets up and screams “I want to talk with that captain now!”
Doc Uber grabs his ruler’s arm and says, “Sir, don’t you want to see the last human we got before you ‘slap’ some sense into Spear Head.”
“Alright.”
The Emperor sits back in his chair and is ready to jump off of it at a moment notice. “Who is the last human our teams captured?”
Doctor Uber flips the clipboard to show the Emperor a picture of Leon. Before they could read the information on Leon, a Scottish knight robot comes in with his single eye turned red.
The knight says angry, “My Emperor, I want… sorry ask you approval for a team to save one of my flying knights from a monster’s claws.”
Vulcan pushes the clipboard out of his face and asks, “What are you talking about?”
“One of my knights, ‘The Tree Frog’ was hidden inside the decoy crate in one of the recent operations but he got captured by a three-headed beast. He somehow tricked that thing to think he was a human that he switched places with. He is not a spy bot, I am worried that he won’t last long.”
“Where is its lair… wait, what is it?”
Doctor Uber gets a file for his memory banks and prints it out from the hidden printer in his metal lab coat. He tears the paper off the printer and shows it to Vulcan. It is a picture of the Chimera (Triabelle).
Vulcan comments, “This looks like one of our first cloning experiments. I am not sure why this thing would care about keep a human alive.”
A voice of a creepy wind says, “Maybe it wants to eat him.”
A goblin in a brown suit with green marks jumps from the ceiling and softly. The Emperor and his court turn to the goblin.
The goblin says, “I am your new bodyguard personally chosen by my elders and my general to protect you.”
The Emperor says, “Your one of those forest goblins right?”
The goblin, “Yes I am, oh, power and merciful Emperor.”
“You guys are the stealthy ones, right?”
“You need me to go and save the knight.”
“Grab a team on the way out.”
“Yes, my Emperor.”
The goblin leaves as fast as he came in.
The Emperor says as he put his hands together, “Well that was easy.”
One of the assistances says, “Sir, The forest and stone goblins have a ‘completive’ history. Do you know that’s how their stalemate war began? Come to think about, it is funny that war ends because of some angry weeds.”
“Just give a notice to stone goblin troops to stay away from that area until further notice.”
“Yes, sir.”
The assistants send the message but some of them are unsure that the stone goblins will listen to orders well since the forest are still allowed near Ponyville and neither side wants to give the other any form of advantage.
The Emperor says as he gets up, “Now, I want to get my angry out before I meet the other humans. Crit-cola me.”
A baseball bot throws Vulcan a purple soda can from across the room and he storms out of the room with most of the assistants following him in worry while 2 stay back to maintain the hidden civilization.
