//-------------------------------------------------------// Corruption of Fate: UnderGround -by dawnofwarnsfw- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Serpent in the dark //-------------------------------------------------------// Serpent in the dark The sound of electricity and machines can be heard ringing throughout the dark. Whirs, and cracks all muffled yet audible echo throughout the enclosed room. A muffled wet sound can be heard from somewhere behind a desk, occasional quiet gasps and moans are heard from a chair, just behind. The sound of a door is heard, but no light enters the room even still. "Boss, do you have a moment?" A gruff voice calls out into the darkness. "It is of some importance." Without turning, a voice responds from the chair, this one much lighter and almost with a whimsical tune to it responds. "Why, Vex, what makes you think I don't have time for important news?" The gruff voice, apparently belonging to a stallion named Vex continues. "Well boss, it's for your ears only." A sigh comes from the chair. "Vex, you broke Crimson yourself. She won't speak a word to anypony, nor can she even leave the room." Another quiet moan comes from behind the chair. "Alright then sir, if you're su-" The lighter voice interjects Vex. "She's not focused on what you have to say as is, unless she wants to be thrown into the Living Pit, she will keep pleasing me and doing as she's told, exactly as she's told. Right, Crimson?" A shaky, almost completely silent voice answers the question. "Y- yes... sir..." An annoyed scoff comes from the lighter voice. "You know to do better then that, make your cunt useful to me, it's all you're good for anyway." Barely squeaking out, Crimson starts to cry softly, her fear of being thrown into the Living Pit greater then that of being hurt while her body is in use. "Anyways, go on, Vex." A mild hint of annoyance at having been interrupted, Vex resumes. "Right... We are in need of expanded facilities. More mares then ever are being caught and sent to the Cold Dark, and the very few 'trainers' we have are being over whelmed. The cells are all full, the washers are working over time. If we don't get some more help down here, clients are going to look the other way." Crimson suddenly yelps as she is roughly thrown from the seat, a trail of wetness on the ground from where she was thrown. "Oh, those are problems that were solved as of a few hours ago, Vex. I have just agreed to the deal with S.S.E. Inc. 20% of all our products go to S.S.E. for them to do as they see fit. In return, we will have access to their latest breakthroughs and equipment. That includes their buildings." The lighter voice explains. "I don't know... S.S.E. is a shadowy figure... They're a massive Cold Dark company, boss. They never show all their cards." The lighter voice remains silent for a moment. "This is a known fact, Vex. However, they're not the only ones with cards." An oppressive and vile laugh starts to fill the room, echoing off walls. "And when I gain access to what they have to offer, not only will the rest of Equestria fear this underground, I will be the only one with a deck."
