Sanguine: The Origins Saga

Chapter 4

The fall of Deoxy

It was a beautiful morning in Deoxy's room. Deoxy woke to see his son still dozing. He gently nudged Sanguine.

"(Yawn) Morning daddy." Sanguine said.

"Good morning Sanguine. I best take you to school." Deoxy said.

So the two trotted down the hallway to Professor Neuron's office. The door opened and Neuron was standing in the room waiting.

"Welcome back Sanguine!" Said Neuron.

"Thank you Professor Neuron." Sanguine replied

"Are you ready to begin?" Neuron said.

"Yes sir!" Sanguine saluted.

Deoxy smiled at his son and left for his office. Sanguine was ready to start.

"Let's begin with Equestrian History today." Neuron said opening his book.

"I am more than prepared Professor!" SAnguine said setting to work. Sanguine worked very hard. He remembered what he had already read about Equestria. Later that day, Sanguine was finished but Instead of his father a guard was standing there.
"I have come to take the colt to Deoxy." The guard said.

"I don't know…I would rather wait for my father here." Sanguine said. He hid behind Neuron's forelegs.

"I have to check this with your father Sanguine. You two stay here." Neuron said leaving to find Deoxy.

"Okay…if you say so." Sanguine said. So the Neuron left the room and walked down the hall. Halfway down the corridor, Sanguine felt something covering his mouth. The guard was pinning the boy to the ground and covered his mouth and nose with cloth doused in Chloroform. Sanguine fought and struggled. However, he eventually lost consciousness from the cloth. The last thing he saw was the soldier stabbing Neuron. He woke up blind folded in a room. He felt rope tied around his back to the chair and his horn was covered with a cap so he couldn't use magic. Even if he knew it. He hadn't been trained yet.

"Where am I? Professor Neuron what happened?" Sanguine asked. No one replied. He tried again. "Neuron? Are you okay?" He said again with fear in his tone. Then he heard hoof steps coming closer. "Professor? Is that you?" He asked with hope.

A modulated voice replied.

" Welcome Sanguine. Are you comfortable?" The voice asked.

" Who are you?" Sanguine trembled out.

"That is not important. I have a question for you. Do you know where you came from?" The voice asked.

Sanguine thought but couldn't remember how he got here.

"You were a creation. In this very facility." The voice said.

"That's not true. It can't be true!" Sanguine replied defensively.

"Is it really such a stretch? You have been here your entire life that you can remember. What is stopping you from believing?" The voice said closer to his face.

Sanguine said nothing. A microphone was put in front of him.

"That mic in front of you is linked to your dad's office speaker. If you want to call for help you can." The voice said.

Sanguine moved his hoof onto the button.

"Daddy? Daddy are you there?" He squeaked out.

"Son? Where are you?! You weren't at Neuron's office!" Deoxy replied with fear in his voice.

"I am being held against my will." Sanguine replied.

"What? Where? Who is doing this?" His father replied.

The figure grabbed the mic and pressed the button.

"He is in room 251. Come and get him if you think you can." The voice said.

"Who are you?" Deoxy demanded.

"Come to the room and find out for yourself." The voice replied. Then he broke the mic by throwing it on the ground.

"He'll be here and you will be sorry!" Sanguine said with determination.

"Oh I know he will come and I will win." The voice said. Time flew by. Then a loud bang erupted as the door hit the floor. Deoxy had kicked down the door. He saw his son.

"Sanguine! Are you okay?!" Deoxy said but there was no response from his son.

"Your son is fine." Said A voice from the shadows.

"Show yourself!" Deoxy yelled.

"If I must." The voice said. The figure stepped out to reveal Professor Ribose. "Hello Deoxy." Ribose replied.

"Ribose! How dare you steal my son you bastard!" Deoxy yelled with a voice of pure rage.

"He never was your son! He was made to be a weapon and you know it!" Ribose shouted back.

"Daddy? How did I get here? Am I really a test tube creation?" Came the voice of Sanguine from the tied up chair. Deoxy paused.

"Yes son. I created you at first for vengeance, but you changed my mind. I loved you with all my heart." Deoxy said with a smile at the end. The only sound was a slow clap by Ribose.

"So he finally gets to know the truth. Now for the fun." Ribose said.

"What are you babbling abou-" Doexy said as a sharp pain shot through Deoxy's body as a knife shot through his chest. "Agh…who did that?!" Deoxy said from the floor.

"Thank you Telescope." Ribose said.

"T…Telescope?!. I will not let you hurt my son!" Deoxy replied.

Ribose kicked him into the ground. The blade loosening its grip inside Deoxy's lung.

"He…was…never…your son!" Ribose puncutated each word with another kick. Then he hammered the knife deeper into Deoxy's spine with his foot.

"Agh! Sanguine?" Deoxy called with a fain voice.

"Yes father?" Sanguine asked with a quiet voice.

"I…love…you." Deoxy said with his dying breath as the last of his blood pooled on the ground.

"Finally, the bastard is dead!" Ribose said.

"Now what?" Telescope said.

"Eject his corpse into space. I am taking the boy to his "new chambers"" Ribose said. Ribose put the cloth to Sanguine's face as he passed out again. Sanguine woke up again in a cell. His eyes were no longer covered but his legs as well as his horn and wings were kept from moving.

"Dad…I can't believe he's gone." Sanguine said with tears in his eyes. Then Ribose stepped in.

"He is gone and now you will stay here. You will be the stepping stone to the true grand soldier we wanted out of you." Ribose stated coldly. He then stabbed a hole in Sanguine. Blood trickled into a container that Ribose was holding below the wound. He took the container and left Sanguine in his cell as he left to create his true super weapon. Sanguine sat there crying as anger started to build inside him. This was not to be the end of Sanguine…
