Entity of Iris

In Space!?

Wilford took Marvin and Anti's hands with a big grin on his face, "Oooo. . . kitty's paws are a little clammy"

Marvin groaned, "Oh fucks sake"

"William, if you will?" Henrik tried to keep him on track, "Please focus"

Wilford chuckled, "Oh alright, alrighty, scamps. Let's go! Hopefully I don't land in space again!"

Jackie blinked, "Wait, what?"

"WHEEEEEEEEE!!!"

'POP!'

When they all opened their eyes, they were in a weird dark hallway. Wilford laughed, "Ah shucks! I don't see Damien anywhere here!"

"That's because he's not here" Chase mumbled, "You fucked up, pinky"

"I like that nickname" Wilford pointed at him, "I'm gonna use it"

Chase gave a long blink, possibly trying to deter an aneurism.

Henrik just sighed, "It's alright, Wil. Maybe we could try again?"

"No, wait" Marvin stopped them, "The crystal WAS here. . . but it's gone now. Dark WAS here but he missed him"

Anti looked around curiously, "Are we on a ship or something? I think I remember from the internet and stuff . . . . these kind of walls. Where are we?"

Wilford opened a door on the other end of the hall, "Ooop! My bad guys! Looks like we're space after all!"

"Huh?"

They all followed him to the other room. It seemed to be the main deck and there was a huge window all around the room.

With a planet in front of them and some moons.

In space.

Jackie chuckled nervously, "We. . . in . . . in space? Oh . .. hehehheh" and then he fell over on the floor.

Henrik shook his head at him, clearly very disappointed.

Jameson looked horrified but turned his attentions on Jackie, trying to wake him back up.

Marvin was marveled by the scene as was Henrik, finding it fascinating more than anything.

Chase was puking in the corner of the room with Anti patting his back.

Wilford clapped his hands, "Looks like we need to try again! Who's ready for round 2!?"

Chase puked again.

Suddenly there was a loud shaking boom and the entire ship seemed to move off course. An alarm started to go off but even weirder than that, there was no one else that started to run around anywhere.

Were they all alone on the ship?

The movement seemed to wake Jackie up and he bounced back into action, letting the adrenaline take over.

"WHAT WAS THAT?!"

Marvin grabbed hold of Wilford, "GET US OUT OF HERE NOW!"

They all grabbed hold of Wilford again and the crazy fellow teleported them off of the ship.

Only to appear in a room with a fireplace.

Henrik recognized it immediately, "Zhis is Dark's place! He brought me here earlier!"

"But he's not here now" Jackie stated the obvious, "What do we do now? Wilford, can you-"

"AAAAHHHHH!!!!" A man rushed out of nowhere with a huge wrench in his hands and hit Wilford in the back of the head.

Wilford giggled slightly before falling face first onto the wood floor.

Chase took out his gun and pointed it at the man, "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU!? ANSWER NOW, MOTHERFUCKER!"

Marvin whistled, "Reel it in a little there, bud"

The new man looked terrified and shook uncontrollably with the wrench still in hand, "W. . . wait. . . you guys aren't that man. . . . who are YOU?"

Anti cocked his head at him a little, "You're not Dark"

Henrik observed him, "That uniform . . .. you're an engineer."

"Ye. . . yes?" the man was still wary of them.

"Oh Scheiße"

"What does that mean?" Jackie asked him.

"Wouldn't you like to know, Hanswurst"

Jackie blinked, ". . . . .Yes."

Marvin stepped forward, "It's okay. My name is Marvin. These are my friends. Chase, Anti, Jackie, Jameson and Henrik. . . . and you knocked out Wilford, it looks like. . .. who are you?"

The Engineer seemed to calm down a little and sighed, tossing the wrench to the side, "I'm sorry. . . . . I just freaked out because the guy just grabbed me out of nowhere and killed all my crew. . . . he said he needed me and took the warp core machine. Oh uh . . .. my name's Mark by the way"

Anti's eyes widened, "M. . . . Mark?"

He got a flash of something in his head. He remembered that name.

He remembered a Mark.

Who, though?

He did something. Acting? He couldn't quite place it.

He shook his head, " . . . . what's this warp core that dark wanted?"

Engineer Mark was still weirded out by everything but cleared his throat, "I uh . . .. I was using this power source for my warp core to make the ship go faster. Turns out it was the wrong power source but this guy just teleported out of no where onto the ship and put this weird rock inside of it and it worked . . . . . .. and then he disappeared with it. A lot of my crew died in his escape"

"Oh shit" Henrik muttered, ". . . . warp core. . . .. the noise we heard on zhe ship was it malfunctioning because of Dark's exit. Zhe crystal . . . . with the power of something so strong to focus its energy like so . . . we're in trouble. We need to find Dark NOW"

"That's gonna be a problem" Jackie shrugged, "You know . . since our ride is kind of knocked out cold on the floor?"

Oh yeah

Wilford was out of commission for the moment.

Now what?
