Garret began to look around for a weapon, only to realize there was a difference in the room he was in. It resembled that of his best friend, Joe's room but, everything was missing except the bed. He began to examine his body and found multiple circle strips around his body. He looked up and saw three people coming up to him speaking in an unfamiliar language, but somehow he understood them.
The man in the middle, he was the tallest with two horns on top of his head, he was wearing clothes that could resemble that of old novelty. A black coat with lines of gold glittery on each side, and purple clothing.
"Where are we with subject Reaper Dr. Sha?"
One of the men next to him was wearing what resembled a doctors cloak, but with screens on his sleeves displaying information.
"He doesn't seem to remember what happened. For him it's been two days since we invaded planet Z-999, the weakest of all planets. But in reality its been 1 year, we were able to manage the drugs inside him to implant the necessary tech."
"Is he still talking about his... what to they call it again?"
The other man with the same doctor cloak responded.
"Friends, your majesty, and yes it appears so"
The novel human-like creature shook his head.
"We need his feelings and memories gone, I need him to become our special weapon to take control of the other universes from A-Y. I want to prove the higher royalty wrong, and that I am indeed the strongest and wisest. And I need this fast, HURRYY!"
The both doctors responded
"Yes your majesty!!"
The novel man walked back up the stairs, and the two doctors began to speak then started to chant some unknown language, this time I wasn't able to understand.
"Prepare sequence 13 and 24, and put it on repeat for 100, and time speed 1000x."
"Yes sir!"
"%*FH#$)Fg"
Out of thin air, strange objects appeared with screens and they began to type on an astral keyboard before looking at me with a pity face.
"I am sorry Subject Reaper, please for all of our sakes forget your friends, it will make this all easier."
Within seconds I began to grow tired out of nowhere, and closed my eyes repeating the same dream I had but darker.
My friends and I were enjoying the New Years event and partying to the highest extent. Then out of nowhere, they would die one by one, by a strange anomaly. Then the sequence would start all over again, repeating for 10 times.
But what was strange was that, once the dream repeated 10 times, on the next one one of my friends disappeared entirely leaving 9 friends total in my dreams.
-One hour passed-
I was able to hear one of the doctors voices.
"20 repeats left, lasts ones are Ashley and Joe, he doesn't remember Jack or Mark. Make sure they completely get erased Dr. La"
"Yes sir"
I didn't know what they were talking about, who were these people named Jack or Mark. But before I could continue on what was happening to me, the dream repeated itself.
"Hey Garret, you know Ashley and I will be there for you forever. We won't leave you, now come on take this drink, and lets celebrate!!!"
"Wait Joe, who is Jack and Mark?"
Joe, looked at garret with a confused look. Scratching his head and thinking hard.
"I don't know who they are? Are they some new friends of yours that you made? And you didn't introduce us yet how harsh"
-One hour passed-
"Dr. La, it seems after 100 repeats, he still won't let go of Joe, we need to repeat it as many times as it takes, it took us 20 for Ashley to finally disappear. Expect more than that for Joe, now lets begin, start sequence 76"
Garret was now in the room alone with Joe.
"Hey Garret, I know its just the both of us, but just know I will always have your back, as long as you have mine!"
"Yeah of course Joe, I just can't believe its been us two for 8 years."
"Hahhahhah, yeah but its okay, we are all we need. Now lets celebrate the New Year, take this drink. "
-72 hours passed-
"Finally, I can't believe it took over 1537 repeats on speed 2000x to finally get Joe to disappear. Contact Duke Han, he would be proud with our progress."
Garret could be seen in his corner, wondering where he was and why he was alone since the beginning. He couldn't remember anything, not a single memory of his friends and family were present.
"Where am I? Who are you?"
Dr. Sha walked up to Garret and adjusted his advance glasses.
"Your name is Reaper, you are one of us. Let us help you, okay *Smiles* We will give you some delicious food after you corroborate"
Garret all confused understood one thing, his name wasn't Reaper. And one more thing that was running through his mind, who was Joe? And why did he have one memory of a kid with no face helping him when he was getting beaten up by three kids.
'Who is Joe???"
