Data log X-1
“Hello people of the world, if you’re watching this, than that means a few things, you found my collection of logs and are watching them before the impending doom of the fall of your universe, or... we failed... it’s still an early plan in the process but- but Lord Icarus says that we can achieve this goal if we all do our part, I mean nobody even knows about the treasures, and well I’m only recording these logs to have a record of this event for history, maybe I’ll get to bring them into the new world, maybe we’ll... change our minds, I’m not entirely sure if this is the right thing to do... but really, what is right anymore? I... I don’t think anyone can give me a satisfying answer for that, but with what Lord Icarus promises, there won’t be any pain anymore if we succeed, we’ll be free from this misery that the gods abandoned us with, and to me that chance is something I have to take to make sure that nobody has to suffer anymore. With my extensive knowledge in everything science I can track the energy from each artifact, even though most of them are hidden I’ll be able to calibrate it and hopefully find them all before other people start looking, I can make weapons and tools to assist in our search, I’ll help guide everyone into the perfect new world just as promised, everything will be over soon, but I still can’t help but wonder if this is what I should do... Anyway, boss ordered me to go survey the seal, so I guess I finally get to do something besides sit around all day! Data log X-1 out” the device cut off and left the pair of heroes confused, they’d have to hear the other logs to hear the full story, and it was clear that they weren’t all together, how inconvenient…
~At the base of the Angels~
The Captain walked into the base completely drenched which left everyone in the perfect positions for her report, what would she tell her Lord, that she failed to retrieve an artifact to KIDS?! God how embarrassing that would be for the best Captain of the Angels, she furiously walked through the long hallways into the final corridor, where the guards asked sheepishly “what do you need Captain ABs?” They said quivering, she was fuming with anger and said “I need to see Lord Icarus for my report!”
They made haste in letting her in, she walked in calming herself down, the Lord wouldn’t tolerate her “childish” behavior of being angry, “Captain, tell me that you retrieved the artifact” he said with a bone chillingly calm but creepy voice, “N-no my Lord, I... I failed to get it, there were other hunters, and they got it before I did, forgive me my Lord” he turned around and looked the Captain in the eyes from his elevated desk, he walked down the steps and he said “don’t worry about it, your weapon, it needs an upgrade is all, go see the Doctor and have an improvement done on all your equipment, it’s only 1 artifact, there’s still 6 more out there, and these children simply cannot win against us” she was completely shocked that she received no punishment, she threw her arms to form an X over her chest as a salute and said “yes my Lord, I’ll take them down on their next hunt!” She said eagerly, hoping to redeem her embarrassment, “no need, I already have someone on it, hurry along now” this confused her, but she walked towards the warp pad into the hallway with great haste as she wanted to get her upgrades to crush the heroes for humiliating her in front of everybody, and putting her shame of first defeat in front of Lord Icarus of all people, as she walked into the lab doors she was greeted by a very excited doctor “are you ready for girl’s night?!?” said the doctor, the captain replied with “I need you to make my gear better, so I can destroy those ‘heroes’ with no problem!” the doctor examined the weapons quickly and they discussed the encounters, she knew the perfect upgrades, and the Captain loved it, they then had their girl’s night and afterward the doctor jumped up and said “I have a surprise for you!” they both got up and rushed over to the testing area, “behold, this is what I’m going to use to beat those heroes” as they both gazed upon the beautiful creation before them, it was truly unstoppable... Or so they thought.
