Pyramid Head goes to Ponyville
Meanwhile, In another place...(2/2)
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWalter lay snoring on the couch in room 305 of the Blue Creek Apartments. He was happily dreaming away a scene of pure chaos and destruction, one he had wished for long ago to become reality. with a quick snore, Walter turned his head sideways, making his long, grey hair fall in front of his face.
Somehow, one of his dull grey locks found its way into his gaping mouth. With a sputter, Walter awoke, slightly choking on his own hair as he fell of the couch in a spastic style. Getting on his knees with hands palmed to the ground, he spat out the nasty taste that his hair left in his mouth.
And then he looked up.
There, standing in the doorway, were Nursie and Alessa, giggling madly at the events that just occurred.
Walter quickly got to his feet. “Hey!” Walter said gloomily. “That wasn’t funny!” He scowled at the two laughing girls, expecting them to stop.
“Funny? That was Hilarious!” Nursie continued to laugh along with Alessa for about 15 seconds. Then the two managed to finally get a hold on themselves.
Walter continued to scowl. “Ok, you all had your laugh. Now what do you want?” he said rather harshly. “I have important thing to do. Like SLEEP, for instance.” He flopped himself back onto the worn-down couch, lifting his legs so that they were held up by the arm-rests. He placed both hands behind his head. With a quick glance, he looked back at the nurse and the little girl. “Well? What do you need?” he grumbled once again.
Nursie began to petting Alessa’s dark hair. Alessa’s smile turned into one of a kittens (:3) as she enjoyed the soft gesture. “Little Alessa here was getting a bit lonely, so I wanted to bring her around to see you guys. Thought it would cheer her up a bit.”
Walter considered this. “Well, why has she been feeling lonely lately?”
Nursie humphed. “Haven’t you noticed a certain someone has been gone lately?”
“ Slender-man?”
“No, dummy! Another certain some.” The nurse began to tap her feet, her arms crossed in frustration.
Walter stared at the nurse blankly.
“Someone important to all of us?” Nursie asked, getting more annoyed. Alessa watched the scene with a smile as the Jeopardy song played in her head.
“Meh.” Walter mumbled. “Beats me.”
“Pyramid Head, idiot!” Nursie yelled.
“Oh...Oh yeah...” Walter looked up, trying to collect some memory on the situation. “The big guy...”
Nursie sighed heavily. "So, anyways, Me and Alessa were planning to go see what Vatiel is up to. Wanna come with us?"
Walter thought about it. What was his schedule like today? Sleep, Sleep, Sleep, Target Practice, Sleep, Sleep...
The man got up slowly, stretching out his arms out over his head. He looked at the Nurse, and then looked at Alessa, smacking his lips a little to get that still irritant taste of unwashed hair out of his mouth.
"Aw hell, why not?" He walked towards the door, Nursie close behind with Alessa bringing up the rear. The trio exited the apartments and headed down to the Hospital, Where Vatiel was working in his... laboratory/study/insane asylum/prison/everything else dark and evil.
Vatiel was furiously working that day. He had about 40 inventions that he needed to complete, 50 trap plans he had to finalize, 66 Puzzles to go through, and a whole bunch of other scattered chaos he called "work".
"JAD! NED! I REQUIRE ASSISTANCE!" Vatiel yelled suddenly. As soon as he was done calling, Two very disoriented Schisms burst through the double doors, panting furiously.
"We're...We're here, boss." Said one Schism with a heavy Australian accent, still very out of breath.
The other one spoke up after the first was done. "What do you need, boss?"
Vatiel spun around. "I need you two to- Good God, what are you wearing?!"
Both schisms (Jad and Ned) were wearing a very distasteful outfit. Jad had a pair of denim and golden-sequence suspenders on with straps made of crocodile skin. He wore an undershirt with a 50's hot-dog cartoon character that was saying "You can't beat the beef!". Ned was in no better condition. He wore a pair of Bright Blue bell-bottom trousers with a very girly lace lining at the bottom. He wore a biker's style jacket with a skull and crossbones pin on the chest pocket.
They were the good example of Fashion that should be shot, burned, dissolved, and burned again, just for the sake of not giving everyone in the room a massive heart attack.
"Oh!" Ned peeped up. "That's a funny story, actually. So me and Jad were just walkin' around the lakeside, right, just watching the water drift, right? So I realize: Me and Jad are naked!"
"Yeah, Yeah!" Jad nodded furiously.
"So then I says, 'Jad, we need to get some stichin' on! Dont want to parade around bare, right?' So we go to the old theater down on Paul Street, the one on the corner? And we go to the old dressin rooms and found these!" Ned showed off his nightmare of an outfit. "Waddya think, boss?"
Vatiel stood there astonished, if not amazed, by the stupidity of his two assisstants. He rubbed the area where his nose was.
"You two...are...complete...IDIOTS!!" Vatiel suddenly roared with rage. "NAKED? YOU WERE ALWAYS BARE! YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE BARE! YOU ARE MONSTERS FOR SAMEALS SAKE!"
The two ridiculous looking monsters backed away from their angered boss. "Hey hey hey, easy boss." Jad said soothingly. "You dont want to split another seam, do you?"
Vatiel suddenly stopped as a flash of memory showed him the time where he got so angry the seams on his face nearly broke apart, nearly killing him in the process.
"No...No I dont." Vatiel gave the best glare he could to the two imbicles. " Now, get those ridiculous things off, and then report to me."
Jad and Ned shuffled away. Vatiel could overhear Ned mumbling about how he liked his outfit. Vatiel gave a long sigh, and went back to his drawings and notes and other assorted madness.
Knock Knock Knock
"Oh, what now?!" Vatiel grumbled as he got up and went to the large double doors. Upon opening them he found the strangest trio: Alessa, Nursie, and Walter.
"Well." Vatiel said calmly. "This was unexpected."
"Hi." The nurse gave a little wave.
"Hello again, Vatiel." Walter guestured a handshake. Vatiel returned it with respect.
"Hi Vatty" Alessa ran up and gave Vatiel a hug.
"Hello, small one." Vatiel said warmly. The sight of a happy face made him forget all of his work now and again. "How are you doing today, Alessa?"
"Not so good." Alessa spoke quietly.
"Oh?" Vatiel asked, now curious what bothered Alessa. "What's wrong then?"
"She misses Pyramid Head. Shit, I haven't seen the guy in what, 5, 6 days? Almost forgot about him. Now Im starting to miss him..." Walter looked at the far wall after speaking.
"Hmmm..." Vatiel began to ponder. "That has been bothering me lately. I know he has his trips sometimes, but at least he tells us where he's going. Say nurse," Vatiel suddenly turned to Nursie. "When was the last time you saw him, exactly?"
"The last time I saw him was about 4 days ago. In fact...That was the time where I felt him bring upon the darkness. Then it felt like he just... vanished. Into thin air, or something." Nurse started to look very worried. (Now you might not be able to tell, but you can see the emotions of a bandaged nurse. If you look very closley at the eyebrow area, you can see the movement of the brows themselves as they rise and lower.)
"Hmm...okay...Alessa?" Alessa looked up at the demonic angel. "When was the last time you saw Pyramid Head?"
"Same time as Nursie, I guess. I saw the sky go dark, so I could tell he was bringing the darkness, just like Nursie said."
"Oh dear..." Vatiel began to sweat a bit. "This isn't good. No, this is bad. Really bad." Vatiel rushed over to his desk again, the trio following him just as quickly.
"What is it? Is he in danger? Is he okay?" Nursie frantically asked as Vatiel rummaged through a massive pile of assorted stuff and junk.
"Let's see...not it...not it...Aha! Here we go!" Vatiel pulled out a small black box with a small rectangle screen. He placed it on top of his desk, and connected several wires to it with great speed. With a shudder the box started to whirr and spark as the little green screen burst to life.
"This, My friends, is one of my many inventions." Vatiel patted the top of the strange contraption. "I call it: The Hide and Go-Seeker!" Vatiel presented these words with charm and glory.
After a long period of silence, Walter spoke up. "That's a really stupid name, you know."
"What? But it matches the task in which it does perfectly! How dare you insult my naming skills!" Vatiel jabbed an angry finger at Walter.
"What does it do, exactly?" Nursie was looking around the box, trying to find something other than the screen.
"This contraption is made for the targeting of a certian someone's position by finding the center of their souls. I originally made it so our fellow monsters can catch those...Invaders more easily. I can use this to track Pyramid Head. We'll find him in no time!" Vatiel started to rustle around in the junk pile again, searching for an important peice of equipment.
"Yes!" Vatiel yelled as he ripped a keyboard from the pile. He quickly plugged it into the Hide and Go Seeker. With hands moving like the wind, he began to input huge amounts of Illegable code.
He stopped suddenly, his hands frozen in place.
"Vatiel? What's wrong?" Alessa asked in a small voice.
Vatiel slowly turned around, a small sweat moving inbetween his faces cracks.
"Our friend, it seems, has not vanished I have sucessfully tracked down his soul." He cleared his throat.
"Well that's good, right?" Walter looked around at everyone. "Right?"
"Im not finished." Vatiel once again cleared his throat. "Unfortunately his soul...Is in a completly different universe."
The trio looked at each other with jaws dropped and then looked back at Vatiel.
"WHAT?!"
To be continued.
