Nora- Well it seems as though we have another matter to clean up, I’m sure one of our many Associates will be happy to fix this mess and hopefully you all will be very accommodating to the sacrifices we make for you, understood?
(The room is quiet)
Nora- Good, then I shall take my leave; Alicia, Jacob?
(Alicia gets up apologizing for the sudden departure and Jacob backflips behind them grabs his case and puts away his scythe as they leave the hall)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
(Sara and the squad follow suit as they make it to ground 0 and see a creature over 50 feet tall, with a muscular body, no eyes, a type of mane and multiple protruding horns and a splitting mouth)
Sara- *in head* Almost looks like a lion
David- *stretching* Alright guys sit back and watch me deal with this, *grabs his eye patch* it's time to get messy
/////////////The Enterprise\\\\\\\\\\\\\
(It opens on David pulling the eye patch up to reveal a fully black eye socket with a black smokey liquid coming out that forms into a black, stary, humanoid woman with no eyes, white lips and white hair )
Sara- *in head* Freaky
Johnny- *in head* What is that!?
?- Hello, my love
David- Open
(The entity opens her chest to reveal a dark space-like abyss that David reaches into and pulls out a metal bat with the word “NASH” labeled on it)
David- You know the drill Nightmare, keep damage to a minimum and no killing bystanders, got it?
Nightmare- Yes my love
(Just then Nightmare dispatches around, cleaning the surrounding area while David stares down the massive creature as he then gets into a stance and leaps to the monster)
David’s group and Sara- Woah!/ HOLY SHIT!
(David then brings the bat down on the monster’s head stunning it)
David- Whew, yah got one thick ass skull i’m gonna needs a little more force if i’m gonna crack it
Monster- RAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!
(The monster regains its composure as it swipes around the area at David which he starts to bat away)
David- Bink, Boonk, Pow, Outta-the-park
(After launching all of those rocks and debris at him the creature then decides to charge. David, seeing this, decides to spin the bat around his body while also charging forward. The monster does a claw swipe, while David prepares his bat they both clash and make a giant shockwave that pushes both of them back, the monster less though because of its size. David gets caught by Nightmare who tries to cuddle with him)
David- Focus ohn tha mission
(Nightmare then goes away and David looks at his bad and sees noticeable damage on it)
David- Looks like i’m gonna have tah got visit e again, welp time tah break it down *rolling his shoulders*
(David then dashes towards the beast prepping the bat into swinging position then…)
David- BOINK *crack*, BONK *clang* BOW! *bing*
(David starts with a hit to the side of its body, then a hit to its chest and lastly as hit to the forehead killing the beast. David has Nightmare grab the creature and lower it to the ground gently)
David- Don’t wanna get yelled at fowh causing more propehty damage
(He goes to find his group and they signal him with their yells)
Squad + Sara- OVER HERE! *waving*
(David then dashes over in no time and makes sure everyone is alright)
David- Yah guys *ahem* You guys ok?
Adina- Yeah, just some dust and dirt but other than that were fine
David- Good good
(Just then Nightmare hurries back and tries to slash Adina’s head off but David stops her)
David- Nightmare
(The entity then turns back around and comes over to David)
David- What have I said about trying to attack my squad members?
Nightmare- I know but she clearly wants to take you from me-
David- Stop, just *sigh* open
(Nightmare then opens her her body and he chucks the deformed bat in)
David- Remind me to bring that to E when she gets back, it needs repairs
Nightmare- Yes, my love
David- *yawning* Alright team I’d say that was a sprawling success
Johnny- Uh, I guess
Yarra- Yeah
David- Oh right, follow me
(They all walk with David to where the monster had fell and then David pulls out several swords, knives, hacksaws and other sharp weapons and lays them on the ground)
David- Just so that you guys don’t feel left out, I’m going have you cut this bastard into smaller pieces
(They all look at the gargantuan creature)
Sara- I’m sorry, but how the fuck do you expect us to do that?
(They then all look at Tadashi climbing up the creature to sever it’s arm)
David- *pointing* Like that
Sara- But seriously though how?
David- Look just cut off some manageable chunks and then we’ll call it a day, ok, ok, ok, ok, good *underbreath* Nightmare you better not kill any of them I mean it
(David then passes out asleep on the ground)
Nightmare- Don’t worry my love I won’t
(The team then get on with the dissection as David is fast asleep with Nightmare watching over him like a vulture)
(1 hour later)
Sara- How much longer do we have to do this?
Yarra- *grunt* Idk probably until he wakes up *pointing at David*
(Sara groans at this as she then hears something large hit something. Turning around she sees that it’s Tadashi who has severed a large chunk of skin off and then moving deeper into the arm)
Sara- Looks like he’s having fun
Johnny- Hey hurry the fuck up don’t wanna be here all day
(After several 2 mores hours of dissection, David awakes from his slumber with a yawn and a bit of amazement as each of the squad and Sara have their own piles of severed flesh)
David- Wow I’m surprised you guys, especially you Tadashi managing to sever the entire arm is quite impressive, you sure your not superhuman?
(Tadashi says nothing as he just stands there with the weapons in his hands)
David- Yaara and Sara are tied, Adina got more and Johnny has less than Adina, well the placements are Tadashi in first, Adina in second, Johnny in third, and Sara and Yarra tied for 4th
Adina- Hey you never said that this was a competition
David- Never said it wasn’t either
(Adina gets a little pissed)
David- Anyway, *calls Séphora* Yo I took down the new beast that showed up come to Louisville, Kentucky and you should be able to find us make sure to bring some big containers and a lot of manpower, K, bye *beep*
(Everyone is looking rather tired and so David pulls out some chairs and benches)
David- Alright guys you’ve earned some rest we’ll wait here for Séphora and her team to come claim some of this
Yarra- You don’t have to tell me twice *sits down*
Johnny- I second that *also sits down*
(Everyone is sitting in their own chair/bench and they all wait for about 30 minutes when they see Enterprise personnel showing up to the scene)
David- ‘Bout time
(Séphora the appears first and runs up to the monster and starts to ogle at it with shock and wonder)
Séphora- First O-3405 now we have you, SQUEEEEE this is such a blessed time be alive
David- Could you give some thanks to my team here they helped with all the samples
Séphora- Oh of course, thank you all for these pieces I’m so grateful
(Séphora then notices Sara standing with the rest of the group)
Séphora- Oh hey Sara fancy meeting you here where’s Jacob?
Sara- He said that he went with the Chief somewhere
Séphora- Oh it’s that time of year again isn’t it, well at least he had the wherewithal to give you to David here
Sara- I guess
Séphora- Alright everyone I want those pieces right there taken and sorted and, hmm *looks to David* Hey David
David- Hm?
Séphora- Could you take the larger part to The Enterprise for us?
David- Hmm, maybe if I just, *to Séphora* Stand back, Nightmare, open
(Just then Nightmare opens her body and David pulls out a Tachi from it)
David- I’m gonna have to bisect this thing a little more, if it’s going to fit
(David then gets into a stance and then zooms back and forth on the monster cutting it’s other arm, legs and head off)
David’s Squad and Sara- *ticked off/shared thought* You couldn’t have done that earlier?
(After David gets done cutting it into smaller pieces he then commands Nightmare)
David- Nightmare, swallow each piece
(Nightmare then grows in size and drapes herself over each of the meat chunks)
David- Alright gang let’s move out!
Séphora- Hey, that’s my line
(They all get onto the metrinite train and head to The Enterprise )
Séphora- Oh, I so pity the Finance division, that amount of property damage is gonna be a doozy
David- Eh, let’s just let them handle it, after all, it’s their specialty
(They make it back to The Enterprise and everyone unloads the cargo just as David gets an idea)
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
David- Hey, I’m gonna need all of you to go dump your clothes in the wash and wait put on your sweats then go to Sector 5, I need to test something there
The group + Sara- K
(As they go to Sector 5, David goes with Séphora to Sector 4 as he is led into one of the larger testing labs)
Séphora- Ok, this should be big enough for a small piece of it, maybe
(David then goes to release one of the legs of the creature but finds that it’s too big)
David- Yeaaaah, that’s not happening
Séphora- Yeah…
David- I’m gonna go inside and make it smaller, Nightmare don’t try anything funny
(David then walks into Nightmare going into the starry black void and finds the many different carcass pieces floating around
David- Alright let’s do this *a sword then appears in his hand*
(David then proceeds to slash up the the pieces into even smaller chunks and when he's done stares at his handy work)
David- Finished
(He then walks out of the portal and notices that Séphora is no longer in the room with him)
David- Séphora?
Séphora- Over here
(David then looks behind him and sees her open the door)
David- Why were you outside-
(David then looks at Nightmare with a glare, who then looks back confused)
Séphora- Well you see, “Nightmare” here was staring at me a little too much so I just stayed outside until you were done
David- Ok, good as long as she didn’t do anything else, Oh and how are these pieces
(David then makes Nightmare dump out the sliced up pieces on the testing floor)
Séphora- Ah much better and make sure to keep the other pieces as well if these run out we may need more
David- Gotcha
Séphora- We’ll be able to get tons a data from these and the recorded footage that we retrieved from the news and bystanders
David- Good and if that’s all, I'll be going now
Séphora- Have a nice day, oooh Akoni is gonna flip when he sees this *takes out her phone*
(David then goes back to the lobby and sees Nora, Jacob, Alicia and Burke entering The Enterprise)
David- Hey, so how was the meeting?
Nora- It was fine Mr. Barclay, pray tell where is your team?
David- Oh I sent them to Sector 5 I’m gonna have them go up against each other to gage whos strongest
Jacob- You're including Sara in this too?
David- Yeah, why wouldn’t I?
Jacob- No reason just making sure she's doing something
(Nora twitches at this statement)
David- Aight then
Nora- Now if you’ll excuse us Mr. Barclay, we have another meeting we have to attend
David- Sorry bout that I’ll leave y’all to it *leaves*
Jacob- *in head* Hope she’ll be alright
(David makes it to Sector 5 to see his team just chatting and working out a bit)
David- Well at least they’re doing something, *gets their attention* alright guys follow me to the training rooms
(They make it to the training room as David gives them the agenda)
David- Ok I’m gonna have you guys fight each other to see who's the best here, it’ll be fist fight and it only ends if you die
(Everyone, except Tadashi, is scared by that statement until David starts laughing)
David- HAHAHAHA, you should have seen the look on your faces!
(They all, except Tadashi, are angry at the small prank)
David- *composing himself* The match will end once either person taps out, alright
(no response)
David- Alright let's get to it, *sits down on the side* Alright let’s get down to it I’ll have Tadashi and Johnny go first then Yarra and Adina, and Sara you fight one of the last 2 left, Aight…
Yarra- Uh…
David- Aight! Tadashi and Johnny get your protective gear and get up there
(Tadashi and Johnny get into the sparring ring after putting on their gloves and head pieces)
David- And go!
(Johnny goes in for the boxer approach coming with right and left hooks and quick jabs but Tadashi is keeping his distance from him as he mostly just parries and blocks)
David- *about Johnny to himself* Sick strikes, boys’ been ahound tha block
(That is until Johnny throws a punch that Tadashi grabs and then pulls Johnny forward into an elbow to the chest and then a 7 piece combo to the thigh, liver, side-of-head, shin, side-of-neck, back of the knee, which causes Johnny to take a knee, and then a kick to the face. Everyone is silent as Johnny is on the floor aching so bad he can barely move)
David- HOLY SHIT, HE MOVED LIKE A FUCKING NINJA!
(Everyone looks at him and then he composes himself)
David- *ahem* I’ll give that wind to Tadashi, and Johnny you ok?
Johnny- Yeah *groan* I’m fine just need to rest a bit
David- *pulling up his eye patch* Hey, Nightmare, pick him up and bring him over here
(Nightmare then comes out as she picks up Johnny who groans in pain and gets laid down on the benches. Tadashi then walks down from the arena and takes off his gloves)
Sara- *in head* Don’t wanna mess with him
David- Alright Yarra and Adina, y'all are up next
(Yarra and Adina go up to the ring after getting their gear on and Adina gets into a boxing pose, similar to Johnny, and Yarra has her hands lower and her feet spread apart a bit)
David- Go!
(Yarra then goes in for a front kick that Adina dodges and tries to counter with a left jab but gets punched away by Yarra. They go for another with Yarra going on the offensive and pushing Adina into a “corner”. Adina sees an opening, when Yarra has to take a small break to catch her breath, so she starts to lay on the pressure with rights and lefts. This causes Yarra to go on the defensive but clearly taking damage from the onslaught of attacks. She then tries to end it with an uppercut to the jaw but Yarra moves to the side, with Adina’s glove grazing her cheek, and leg sweeps Adina then landing elbows her in the chest knocking the wind out of her)
David- Nice, *to Adina* yo, you good?
Adina- *getting up* Nah, I’m done, that's enough for me
(Adina then takes off her gear and walks down to the benches)
Adina- Shit man, that hurt *groans/rubs chest*
David- You get some rest and now moving on we got Tadashi and Yarra, gear up
(Tadashi puts his gear back on and gets into the arena)
Yarra- Can I sit out for a bit that took a bit out of me *to Adina* you hit like a truck
Adina- *grunt* You're no slouch yourself
David- That’s alright, come down and get some rest, Sara guess it’s your turn then
(As Yarra is leaving the box, Sara is shocked by the news)
Sara- What!? I have to fight him?
David- Yeah, go ahead I’m sure it’ll be fun
Sara- *in head* Easy for you to say
(Sara then puts on the gear and walks into the arena and faces off with Tadashi who just looks at her as if she isn’t even there)
Sara- *in head* What is with this guy *gets into a basic MMA fighting stance
David- Go!
(Tadashi quickly dashes to Sara and goes in for a leg sweep but Sara manages to backstep it and tries to retaliate with a punch but wasn’t ready for the follow up kick that Tadashi had spun around with clocking her in the face. Sara skids across the floor and tries to recover but Tadashi was just too quick. As soon as she gets up he punches her in the face, knees her in the chest, punches her in the face again and was gonna end with a downward ax kick until…)
David- STOP!
(Tadashi, hearing this, then retracts his leg and promptly exits the ring)
David- Aye, Sara you aight?
(Sara doesn’t really say nothing and David goes to the side of the arena and asks again)
David- Hey you alright?
(Sara then finally starts to get up as she says)
Sara- Fuck no
(She then goes to sit down as David calls up the last fight)
David- Alright guys last one today is Tadashi and Yarra and Tadashi…
(Tadashi then turns to David)
David- Please ease up a bit
(Yarra enters the arena with her gear on and gets back into her stance as Tadashi just stares at her)
David- Go!
(As soon as he says that Yarra goes in for a low right hook to the jaw but Tadashi quickly avoids it and goes for a spin kick which Yarra blocks albeit barely. Tadashi then decides to go on the offensive with a feint kick to the leg but then going in for a punch which Yarra wasn’t ready for and taking on the hit. Tadashi then continues the combo with a left, right, uppercut, 2 punches to either side of the ribcage and focused punch to the sternum which Yarra takes and ends up almost passing out but seeing that she's still conscious Tadashi goes in for a devastating punch but…)
David- STOP!
(Tadashi then stop his advances and looks at David)
David- TADASHI WHAT DID I JUST SAYS *accent flaring*
(Tadashi then looks at Yarra and bows his head then walks out of the ring to the others and bows to them as well then ends with a bow to David)
David- *in head* I truly got a weird one this year *sigh*
David- Alright that's enough for today, if you need any first aid go to the infirmary in Sector 4 otherwise go back to your rooms and Tadashi chill out for a while man, that's all I got to say to ya
(Everyone starts to clear out and as Sara leaves to the infirmary Yarra comes up next to her)
Yarra- You ok?
Sara- Yeah but that motherfucker hits like a damn train, felt that shit through the headpiece
Yarra- Yeah he hits harder than Adina and she already has a good punch
Sara- Well I’m going to the infirmary to see if anything he did was internal I’ve seen a lot of ninja movies so I hope the damage ain’t severe
Yarra- *laugh* Eh heh it hurts to laugh, well I’ll see ya around Sara
Sara- You too
(Sara gets to the infirmary and wonders where the doctor is)
Sara- Hello!? Is there a doctor here?
(Its silent for a bit then someone comes from behind the corner in a swivel chair)
Akoni- Yow, Wah cyaah mi duh fi you? (Hey, what can I do for you?)
(Sara is shocked at the revelation and so is the person behind her)
Johnny- WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE!?
Sara- AH!? Don’t do that, but yeah what he said
Akoni- Oh well mi di docta yah as well, pleased tuh mek yuh acquaintance. (Oh well I’m the doctor here as well, pleased to make your acquaintance) *mock bow while in the chair*
(Sara then looks at him then Johnny then herself and decides…)
Sara- Y’know what, I’d rather take my chances *leaves*
Akoni- Eh Ar loss Wah bout yu sir? (Eh, her loss, what about you sir?)
Johnny- *sigh* Do you have, like, an ice pack?
Akoni- A com rite up! (Coming right up)
(Cut to Jacob, Nora and Alicia sitting at a lunch table inside of a local Japanese restaurant called “Sansotei Ramen” sitting next to the window. Jacob’s eating Tonkotsu, Alicia’s eating a Shoyu and Nora is eating Tonkotsu Black)
Alicia- Well that was wrapped up rather quickly
Jacob- Yeah I hope all of them will be like this, so I can relax
Alicia- Agreed
(They sit there for a bit as a speed car goes by with cops chasing after it)
Nora- *sip* It’s a nice day isn’t it?
Jacob- Yeah
Alicia- I’d say it is though a bit chilly
Jacob- That’s Canada for you
(They sit and eat for a bit as Alicia finishes her ramen and stands up)
Alicia- Alright we have a little more downtime before the next meeting or do you want to go now Ms. Rayleigh
Nora- I’d like to finish my Tonkotsu first, then we’ll go to the meeting because I would like to get as many done as possible within the day, given that I feel as though we are about have a busy year
Alicia- Yes ma’am
(Alicia notices that Nora is eating rather slowly so she does the only sensible thing)
Alicia- Excuse me waiter *someone comes over* Could I get another “Shoyu” bowl, if you wouldn’t mind?
Waiter- Right away ma’am
Jacob- Did you not eat today?
Alicia- I did but that bowl was just too good, I gotta have another
Jacob- Well at least you enjoy it
Alicia- Indeed I do
(They all sit there a bit and continue to eat with a Nora looking at the interaction with interest)

The Enterprise
The Enterprise
O-1234
Object/Organism/Oddity
Danger Level: R/B Tie
Name: “Nightmare”
Gender (If applicable): Female (presumed)
Species (If known): N/A
Age (If known): N/A
Measurements: [Variable]
History: The oddity was discovered inside of a “Benjamin Robins” in Nampa, Idaho. It seemed to have taken over his body and was terrorizing the nearby citizens as well as the man’s family. Enterprise personnel appeared on the scene and apprehended Mr. Robins and were able to separate the “Oddity” from his body though this costed Mr. Robins his life.
Description: 0-1234 is a tall (variable) woman (in appearance) humanoid that is black in color with many white spots on her resembling stars. It wears a dress type of clothing and a half mask that covers its eyes. Its mouth seems to be sewn shut, who or what did this is not confirmed.
Ability: The oddity is quite similar to O-303 in appearance and functionality as it seems to have a consciousness of its own but is quite hostile. When bonded with someone it displays the ability to manifest itself as a shadow that is able to fight with its bonded recipient. O-1234 also can be used as a storage space for its user as it can store tons of different items. [These results are from the examples shown during Associate David Barclay’s bonding]
Containment procedures: When not bonded it is to be kept in it’s cell in Sector 7 and is to not be opened unless with express permission from Warden Micheals or the Chief herself
Transporting procedures: When not bound O-1234 is to be kept in a solid titanium casing and is not to be let out unless with express permission from Warden Micheals or the Chief herself
Binding: The oddity is currently bonded to Associate David Barclay as it has taken its place in his right eye
Added Notes: During testing, a “willing” participant was tasked with exploring O-1234’s storage abilities and was fitted with a video-camera and tether to be pulled out should O-1234 do anything unexpected. After Associate David gave permission the participant was put into O-1234. They were in there for 20 minutes and when they came out they were a babbling mess. Here is a recording of what was heard
VOICE RECORDING TAKEN X/XX/XXXX
David - He stayed in thehe fowh quite a while
Examiner- Mr. Lynns, can you hear me? What did you see?
Norville Lynns- ❄︎♒︎♏︎ ♎︎♏︎♋︎♎︎ ⬧︎◆︎■︎ ⬧︎◻︎♏︎♋︎🙵⬧︎ ♐︎□︎❒︎ ♋︎ ❍︎♋︎■︎⬧︎ ●︎♏︎⧫︎⧫︎♏︎❒︎📪︎ ⧫︎♒︎♏︎ ♎︎♋︎❒︎🙵■︎♏︎⬧︎⬧︎ ♏︎♍︎●︎♓︎◻︎⬧︎♏︎⬧︎ ⧫︎♒︎♏︎ ❍︎□︎□︎■︎ ♐︎□︎❒︎ ⧫︎♒︎♏︎ ⬧︎◻︎♋︎⧫︎♓︎♋︎●︎ ♏︎❍︎◻︎⧫︎♓︎■︎♏︎⬧︎⬧︎📪︎ ♓︎⧫︎🕯︎⬧︎ ♏︎■︎♎︎ ❍︎♏︎⧫︎ ♋︎⬧︎ ⧫︎♒︎♏︎ ♒︎♋︎■︎♎︎⬧︎ □︎♐︎ ♋︎■︎ ♋︎■︎♑︎❒︎⍓︎ ♐︎□︎❒︎♍︎♏︎ ⧫︎□︎ ⬧︎⬥︎♋︎⍓︎ ⧫︎♒︎♏︎ ♓︎■︎♐︎●︎◆︎⌧︎ □︎♐︎ ♑︎♋︎❍︎❍︎♋︎📪︎ ⧫︎♒︎♏︎ 📂︎📁︎ ◻︎♓︎●︎●︎♋︎❒︎⬧︎ □︎♐︎ ♍︎❒︎□︎⬥︎■︎⬧︎ ⬥︎♓︎●︎●︎ ♍︎□︎❍︎♏︎ ♋︎■︎♎︎ ⬧︎□︎ ⬥︎♓︎●︎●︎ ⧫︎♒︎♏︎ ■︎♏︎⬥︎ ♌︎♏︎♑︎♓︎■︎■︎♓︎■︎♑︎
David- What did she do tah him?
Examiner- *sigh* We’ll try again later with a different subject. Take Mr. Lynns to sector 3 for further study. That marks the end of today's test.
We tried again later on but this time told the participant to close their eyes. There were no side effects in this test but we weren’t able to collect any data. In the nest test we asked for Associate David to participate, he stepped in, and when he tried to explain what he saw, it came out as the same incoherent ramblings from Mr. Lynns but he seemed to have kept his sanity. Upon further interrogation he knew what he was saying but there was something preventing him from translating it for us. Whether this is because of O-1234, a higher being or maybe a universal rule is up for debate and speculation. Further testing and study will have to be done to find any solid conclusions. All that is known now is that its pocket dimension ignores mass and has properties beyond human understanding.
It’s name was from itself as Associate Barclay has said “She likes to be called ‘Nightmare’ for some reason”
O-1234 seems to have an irrational hatred towards other females. As described by Associate Barclay “She wants to kill every woman near me, constantly saying ‘He’s mine’ in my head, It’s annoying.” This has been relayed to the Chief but she has since ignored it.
