A rush of chilly air came upon Ariel's body, giving her shivers. " Jeez, that fucking cold!" Ariel ran into the bunker and closed it behind her back. The air was no longer cold. As Ariel started proceeding through the long hall, lights started automatically turning on due to her slight body heat. " Hmm?" What is this place?" At the very extremely far of the hall stood a robot with one red eye that was dressed in a very fancy red tuxedo. The robot held a rather large silver platter in his left hand that had cigarettes, napkins, peanut butter and jelly sandwich a gun, a bar of chocolate, and a cup of coffee resting on top of it. Ariel approached the robot. The robot's one red eye turned blue. A flashing blue light scanned Ariel's body. " Welcome to The Himalayan Laboratory of Dr. Gonzalez, Ms. Ariel." Dr. Gonzalez has been expecting you." Ariel sucked her teeth. " What the fuck does that traitor want with me?" The robot quickly straightened its bowtie and said: Dr. Gonzalez is not a traitor but in fact an opportunist and a genius." Ariel rolled her eyes and said: Who are you and where the hell is this place?" The robot's blue eye started twitching. " My name is Ted N-61 and this The Himalayan Laboratory is located in Himalayan mountains of the Tibetan Plateau in Asia, which is one of the seven continents on this planet called Earth." Ariel's eyebrow raised up. " Earth?" Ariel only read about Earth in books when she was young. Ariel started rubbing her hands. So, what does Dr. Gonzalez want with me?" Ted N-61 turned his body around and said: Follow me." I will lead you to Dr. Gonzalez." He is quite busy." Ariel darted her eyes down to the food on the silver platter. Ted N-61 caught her watching it." By the way, the food and every other item on this platter are for you." Dr. Gonzalez instructed me to give it to you." Here." Ariel's eyes lit up." She snatched the silver platter from Ted N-61 and at once devoured the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. She washed the sandwich down with the coffee. She would save the chocolate bar for later." The only item she didn't grab from the platter was the gun. Ted N-61 picked some napkins off the ground and handed them to Ariel to wipe the smears of jelly off her face. Please follow me." Ted N-61 turned around and opened the tough door with brute strength. Ariel followed behind Ted N-61. The tough bunker door led to another long hall. From the side-to-side laid rooms where subjects were being tested on with various experiments. Screams echoed through the hall. Ariel walked next to Ted N-61 and asked: "But how did Dr. Gonzalez make it to Earth?" Is it in an entirely different dimension?" And I thought he was murdered when Poison attacked the Industrial Elven Kingdom." Ted N-61 continued to walk forward. " Please revert your questions to Dr. Gonzalez." Only he can exploit his own secrets to you." " I was strictly designed and programmed to act as a guide to direct people to Dr. Gonzalez." Nothing more." Ariel sighed. Ariel looked over to the side and noticed one of the test subjects was growing out of control. Suddenly the mutant killed the two assistances, tossing them through the glass window. The mutant climbed through the glass window and started screeching like a siren. Ted N-61 halted and sighed. " I hate it when this happens." I always have to take care of these fools." The mutant stood up to 7'0 tall with the appearance of a wolf with the striped tail of a tiger. The mutant tried to swing its huge claws after Ted N'61. He suddenly snapped his fingers. The silver platter that laid outside on the ground sliced through the door, magnetically attaching to Ted N-61's hand. He tightly clutched the platter and swung it upper wards, causing the mutant to freeze up and vomit up blood. Suddenly the mutant was sliced in half. Blood and organs splattered all over the place. Ted N-61 sighed and said: Please follow me." Ariel bypasses the mutant thinking to herself that Ted N-61 was much more than a guide. He approached another tough bunker door and opened it with brute strength. The bunker door revealed a flight of stairs. Together they walked down the stairs and approached another door. Ariel looked over to the side and noticed a map. She at once took the map. There were four areas to the labatory. In fact, it wasn't a laboratory but a military operation base. The last door requires a keycard. Ted N-61 reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a red keycard. He placed the keyboard in the slot and scanned it downwards. Stifling air started coming out of the door. Suddenly the bunker door opened slowly. Ted N-61 replaced the keycard in his pocket and looked over at Ariel and said: Just head on inside. Dr. Gonzalez is there." Ariel nodded. Thank you." Ted N-61 nodded his head and said: I'll take my leave." Ariel walked into Dr. Gonzalez's laboratory. The closed behind her tightly and locked itself. The first thing she saw was Dr. Gonalez who was adding more parts to a huge circular device. As Dr. Gonzalez saw Ariel he sighed. Ah." Empress Ariel." It's been a while." I am glad you're finally here." I bet you are wondering why I brought you here." Ariel turned her hands into fists and started cracking her knuckles. " Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you traitor." Dr. Gonzalez back up a bit and said: Now, now." There's no reason to be hostile." The civil war is over." Neither side won the war." Ariel sucked her teeth and took a deep breath. " You still haven't told me why you brought me here asshole." Dr. Gonzalez's eyes lit up and said: Oh right!" I wanted you to be a part of this operation." Ariel was confused. " What operation?" Dr. Gonzalez snickered." Let me explain." When I escaped from the giants in their spiritual world with the help of one of their most powerful and oldest artifacts, I ended up here in another dimension." Well in fact an alternative dimension of our world where your father Aegon and Hendrix never led a personal vendetta to destroy the world of dragons." A world where dragons were still on top and continued worshipped as gods." A world where The Great Elven Empire never had a falling out and never split into two separate empires. When I arrived there, I met an alternate version of myself, a man whose knowledge was far beyond mines." Yes, he was a bit of a maniac, but he gave me an opening understanding of the entire universe." When I unconsciously broke into his dimension, I broke one of the many rules of space and time continuum, thus making many different versions of myself across every universe." So even if I die or get murdered, another version of myself will still live and breathe." Allow me to show you." Dr. Gonzalez activated the portal. Out of nowhere a volt of electricity was created, causing a spiral of blue energy to create the portal. Dr. Gonzalez picked up a gun from one of the desks and loaded it. He placed the gun to the side of his head and said: This only way my theory will become a reality." I'll see you on the other side Empress Ariel." Ariel eyes popped out of her head. " Wait don't- Bang!" Dr. Gonzalez squeezed the trigger of the gun, causing a bullet to come out of the chamber and go through the other side of his skull. Brains and blood splattered everywhere. His lifeless body dropped to the ground. Ariel started shaking her head. She stared at the portal and noticed nothing was happening. She sucked her teeth and said: Conjurations." You just killed yourself." Your dumb theory didn't become a reality. As she was about to try and leave, cracking noises could be heard behind her back. She halted for a second and turned around to see another version of Dr. Gonzalez walking through the portal with a straight serious look on his face. This version of Dr. Gonzalez was the same version Dr. Gonzalez of Ariel's world just talked about. Dr. Gonzalez's hair was completely white." He had a scruffy white beard also with some burn scars on the side of his face. His one good eye was red and black and shaped like a hawk's eye. He stood up to seven feet tall, weighing over 240 pounds. He wore a suit of armor made of an unknown material equipped with a long and sharp saber that had blood dripping off it. He also held a man dressed in rags by the neck." A world where dragons are nearly extinct, and The Great Elven Empire is split into two factions." This will be exactly what I dreamed of." The man that Gonzalez held was screaming in terror for life." No, please!" Have mercy!" Gonzalez stared at the man and said: Mercy." Tch." There's no such word in my vocabulary." Gonzalez snapped the man's neck and tossed him to the side against the wall. He walked over to the Gonzalez that blew his brains out, crouching down." Congratulations." Your theory worked friend." I will now be taking your entire operation, leaving that other world behind me." He turned around and destroyed the portal with one single swing of his long and sharp saber. " Unlike you, I finally found a way to create portals with the use of technology. Gonzalez reached to the side of his leg, pulling out a syringe that had glowing red energy in it. " But I'm not going to use it now." I want to meet your friend." Empress Ariel." Ariel was ready to attack at any minute." As he approached her, the ground began shaking..
So, you are Empress Ariel." You are quite beautiful." You are an image of your mother. " He continued to approach her. Ariel cracked her knuckles and said: Back up." Gonzalez snickered. In my universe you accidentally killed yourself by running down some stairs. " But I saved your life and made you into a cyborg." Your father came to me." I replaced your brains with a few machine parts. A weapon of mass destruction." Would you like to meet her?" I know she will love to meet you."
