[All protagonists will have their names abbreviated for dialogue,full names will be used for their first dialogue in each part] [Enderlin stared at the almost never ending desert from a towering precipice,but something caught her eye] Enderlin: "... Two unfamiliar slugcats!""They appear to be heading towards the collapsed structure!" [Enderlin leaped off of her perch and soared toward the two. It appeared to a be a pup and their parent but they were very strange looking, the pup had two creepy sets of eyes and the adult had four ears, both of them were smaller than average slugcats their ages] End: "Halt!""You may not enter these premises!""Ever since the collaspe of this structure the land around it has been poisoned!" [The adult looked at her confused and tried to argue back] Proto: "This is me and Granule's destination!""We were sent to help someone here!" Granule: "m'hm!" End: "Even if you were able to cross the dangerous glass wall surrounding the structure, a strange force kills almost anything that enters!" Gran: "But we have a job to do!" End: "Are you sure this is the right one?" Pro: "Yes! Our instructions were very clear!" End: "At least don't drag the pup into this!""Come on sweetie." [Enderlin attempts to grab Granule's hand not before Proto tackles Enderlin] End: "What was that for?!" Pro: "You can't take Granule!""She has all of the pearls we need!" [Enderlin retaliates pushing Proto off of her. She then palm strikes Proto in the snout] Gran: "Wait stop fighting!" [Granule is ignored as Enderlin claws at Proto's chest. Enderlin lifts him by the neck, trying to snap his neck or strangle him] Gran: "Stop it!""Please don't hurt Proto!" [Granule starts crying, Proto is helplessly trying to escape Enderlin's claws. Enderlin locks eyes with Granule. A wave of guilt washes over Enderlin, she lets go of Proto] End: "I'm.... really sorry." Gran: "Proto!!" Pro: "Wowie! I really thought I was done there!" End: "I can protect you and follow you for a few cycles, as you know, payback." Gran: "No! You are mean and scary!" End: "Mean and scary?" Pro: "Be nice!""Why not!""I think you can be nice!" End: "Thank you.""Come on, I know where a shelter is." [The three of them make their way to a nearby shelter, Proto swore someone was following them, Enderlin just ignored him] End: "Here we are!" Pro: "I know someone is lurking around here!"I could feel it!" End: "Sigh... Come on let's sleep." [As they all fall asleep, Enderlin hears the vent flicker, but she ignores it. A chill runs down Enderlin's spine as she begins to have a dream] ~It's that one same dream. That one terrible one! The one where Enderlin slumps on the floor crying while her sister has to defend her from their very own creator! Omnipotent didn't get very hurt but she was sent away. Enderlin the other claw is hiding in the corner, her left eye slashed out and a massive abrasion running down Enderlin's chest. She only wanted something to eat, guess this was a bad time to ask. This time it's bit different. One of those odd curly tailed slugcats stared at Enderlin. End: "Who are you?" Pastelle: "Name's Pastelle,but let's get out of here." [Pastelle grabs Enderlin's paw and drags her out of the dream, into a new dark one with lots of colored pearls] Past: "That wasn't a pleasant one to watch.." End: "Where are we and what do you want?" Past: "Oh I need to ask you favor!""You see I need to find my slugpup but I can't quite connect to her dream for whatever reason!" End: "So you want us to help you?" Past: "Yes!""The blue one sensed me approaching and seemed aggressive so I followed from afar!" End: "He was RIGHT. ""He will never let me live this down! Past: "So will you help me?" End: "Fine.""Just don't be creepy." Past: "Deal!" [They both woke up, and there she was, Pastelle sitting in the corner] End: "Proto is going to be so mad."
Had to start the epilogue here cus someone spit in the scratch moderation's cereal Find the rest of the Crimson Archives here https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/51963079 [Epilogue] [Cold and miserable,just as it has been for the past several.. How many cycles has it been? Oh yes it has been roughly 1750 cycles! Of course Storms upon Cloud Nine would remember how many cycles since his departure from Luminous Skys, Surrendering. This cycle, however is different! Cloudy picked up a broadcast from someone, Storms had his hopes up it would be his dear creature but to his disappointment it was just Shards.] SS: "Looks like someone got kicked out for being a big meany!" SuCN: "You don't need to tease me." SS: "Hah! I'll tease you more just for saying that!""Just kidding!""Anyways.. I figured my local group might need more iterators and you need new friends...""So how about you join?!" SuCN: "Really?!" SS: "Uh huh!" SuCN: "No catch?" SS: "Oh of course there is but all you need to do is delete your memory of those 'friends' of yours." SuCN: "What?! No way!" SS: "So you want to remember the iterators that left you behind just cause you were bit mean?" SuCN: "I want to remember them because they were my friends!" SS: "They 'were' your friends." SuCN: "At least let me keep my memory of one of them!""Please?" SS: "FINE.""Which of them do you want to keep?" SuCN: "Can I please keep my memory of Redeeming Graces upon Blunders?" SS: "The worst possible one?!""Fine but only for hmm... The next 25 cycles!" SuCN: "Thank you." [Secret Epilogue] [Anenome II ran across the Volcanic Summit as fast he could with Vulcan clinging to his neck. Lizardlike slugcats have invaded the place he calls home, capturing any skycats they can find. They had killed Erie, the leader of skycats, along with her mate, Stratus. Anenome II knew he had failed his one mission; they had taken Fleece away along with one of the heirs of the skycats. Leaving poor Wisp to fend for herself. Fleece handed herself over to them in order to save Wisp, who has probably been killed considering she is the one flightless skycat. Now Anenome II has the looming feeling of facing his master's disappointment and sorrow. Fortunately out of the corner of his eye, he could see Wisp's light yellowish pelt. Anenome II ran over to Wisp and grabbed her in his jaws. Wisp shook a bit before realising it was just the one lizard who is supposed to protect her. Anenome II couldn't be distracted,he had to take the young scavenger and the young skycat to Reptilian Instincts where they would be protected. Now all he has to do is avoid the weird acid spitting one and the fast ones and the tough red one...]
