#aroodamate

Justin furiously typed at his computer. Aroodamate continued to pound against its glass enclosure.

“Bro” Stephan looked up from his computer “do you think this will work?”

Justin sighs “honestly, no. We tried separating them, a million different ways. Here goes million and one!” He flips a switch on his desk

Electricity crackles above the containment pod, a storm cloud forming inside the pod, filling it completely.

“Remind me again your logic here?” Stephan asked, watching his computer screen, with the vitals of Aroodamate.

“It’s simple really. We know Electricity is Aaron’s biggest weakness, since it counteracts his healing factor and causes his atoms to separate, hopefully the same will happen here.”

Aroodamate roars inside the storm cloud and bangs against the glass. It’s body dripping once more, the two halves moving closer their form fading into one mass. Soon, the gargled roars changed to a restrained cough.

“Ugh…” the storm clouds dissipate. Inside the containment pod, on its knees, was a new figure. Tall, dressed in a dark camouflage hoodie, two cat ears poking out top, a long bushy tail hands wrapped in bandages, covered in unreadable symbols. It stood up, a dark black furred feline face looked up to Justin and Stephan, a scar over its left eye.

“Boys?” it called out.

“Well...that was not what I expected to happen.” Justin blinks twice and presses the release button on his desk.

Suddenly the glass shifted, a door appearing and opening before the strange figure.  

It stepped out as Stephan and Justin walk down to them.

“Ok so...Hood? Or Aaron?” Justin asks.

The figure looks down at its hands. “Both...uhm...call me Sentry boys”

Sentry walks over to the nearest mirror and looks at himself. He smiled, marveled by his outcome.

“Well well well, we do work well together.” Sentry walks up to the boys “hum...I guess it's time for the world to meet me now right?”

Stephan “uhmm, yeah. Let's do it”

Sentry smiles and starts walking out of the lab. “Hey, what happened to Vet? The last thing we remember was he was fused with Gaster.”

“He’s uh….he’s dead Sentry. So are quite a few other people. All the Tartalgia brothers, Ishmael, Lukas, and the Pastor. All dead. You killed them” Justin steps in front of Sentry. “And Tracey is very mad at you”

Sentry gulps, “She’s here isn’t she?”

“Outside the door actually”

“Crap”

The lab doors open, Tracey walks in, her eyes red from crying. She stares at Sentry, holding back more tears.

“Look at you now huh? I saw what you were, I saw the monster.” She walks up to Sentry. “You killed my husband.”

“Tracey...we’re sorry…” Sentry stepped forward.

Tracey slapped Sentry across his face. “I don’t care if you are sorry”

Sentry sighs, silent.

Tracey slowly turned back and walked out.

“This will be hard.” Sentry looks up, watching her leave.

Stomp, squish, stomp squish. Like the worlds most disgusting three legged race, Aroodamate stomped down the street of Tartalgia. A trail of bloody bodies leaving a path behind him, like breadcrumbs home.

“Alright you beast” Hero Tartalgia called out, standing between Aroodamate and the town hall. “Whatever you are, you’re massacre stops here.”

Aroodamate’s two heads growled. The eye scar on the hooded head glowed green, the furred head hissed. It rushed forward, sword drawn. Hero sidestepped the swing, jumping back quickly.

“Come on guys! I need help!”

“Oh do you know?” A metal fist impacted directly with the furred head. Connected to the fist was a bronze suit of high tech armor.

“Good to see you finally showing up Kujo. “ Hero commented, smirking.

Kujo stood between Hero and Aroodamate. Aroodamate hissed, lunging forward and pining Kujo against a nearby wall. Kujo struggled, but even in his suit he was unable to escape their grasp. Quickly, Aroodamate plunged his jagged sword into his chest over and over again, the sound of metal and bone crushing and cracking made Hero shudder.

Quickly Hero slammed into Aroodamate’s side, freeing his brother, a mistake. Aroodamate roared, grabbing Hero by his throat and hacking away at his body, slicing off his arms, and chopping his torso into pieces.

With a loud roar, Aroodamate flung the remaining pieces far away. Standing, It continued to walk towards town hall.

“You…monster” Kujo’s last words as the light faded from his eyes, the blood draining out of his chest.

…

Vetster stood atop Townhall, watching Aroodamate kill the two Tartalgia brothers. Hail sat behind him, his arms tied behind his back.

“Vet why? Why are you doing this?”

Vetster turned and faced Hail. Hail gasped aloud, the air around him suddenly getting very cold. “G…Gaster?”

“Yes and no my boy. I am both. Call me Vetster. Well, don’t worry about calling me anything, you are going to die soon” Vetster angered with a chuckle.

Hail shuddered in fear, “m-my powers helped Aaron kill you before!”

Vetster picked Hail off the floor and dragged him to the edge of the roof. “You see that down there, the thing that killed your brothers?”

“Hero…Kujo…n-no…”

“That’s Aaron, and Hood. They won’t be helping you stop me. Now tell me, how tall do you think this town hall is?”

“W-what?”

“How tall do you think this town hall building is?”

“I-I don’t know, t-twenty feet maybe?”

“From the point we are standing at, it is a twenty six foot drop. Tell me, do you think the normal human body can survive a fall from that being directly onto cement?”

“N-no?”

“Correct, but you are not a normal human. You are a gifted individual, an ultra being. You, can survive”

With that, Vetster shoved Hail over the edge of the building, allowing him to drop down to the pavement with a hard SMASH.

Hail whimpered in pain, his hands still bound behind his back, the fall wrecking his spine and legs, leaving him unable to get up.

Aroodamate sniffed the air, smelling Hail laying on the pavement. Slowly, It approached him, growling at the cold as It got closer. Aroodamate stood above Hail.

“H-hood” Hail called out, The hooded head of Aroodamate grimaced and shuddered.

“A-Aaron” Hail called out once more, the furred head hissed, angered by the name.

It rose it’s foot above Hails head. Hail let out one pure blue tear before Aroodamate’s heavy foot descended hard upon his head, smashing his skull and killing him instantly.

Vetster chuckled from his perfect view point.

“Well then” Vet’s voice took control. “That was gruesome”

“Well I do agree there my newfound friend. “ Gaster replied. “Those two together are quite the killing machine. Let’s make sure to stay far away from them.”

“Agreed buddy. So, what next?”

“Well, who else can we experiment with?”

Vetster’s smirk widened.

“Remind me why we are letting the beast follow us?” Gaster asked, his joint body walking through Treasure Canyon, the large gem filled canyon in the center of Utah. The canyon walls made entirely of various gemstones, in a rainbow of colors. Power radiated off the walls, making Vetster grin.

“Because, there are a few, eager test subjects who call this canyon home, and I’d like to see how they fare against our monster” Vet replied. “Here comes one now.”

Ishmael walked towards them, looking very, very angry. “Listen not Vet! I don’t know who you think you are, or what you’ve done to Hood and Aaron, but it ends here”

Ishmael suddenly began sprinting towards Vetster, his spear now a glowing purple sword with a glowing dark wooden handle. Vetster stood, waiting. Aroodamate followed behind, by at least a mile, the amalgamation unfortunately slow moving.

Ishmael swung his sword, the blade slicing through Vetster’s chest like a hot knife through butter.

“Oh dear” Vetster’s overlay dripping with mocking sarcasm as his body instantly closed the wound “my my Ishmael, that sure hurt, please don’t do it again.”

Ishmael yelled, slicing off His head. Vetster stepped back, catching his fallen head. He laughed “wow, you are quite the angry one aren’t you? Beautiful, emotional study is always invigorating! “

Vetster stepped forward, placing his head back onto his body. “Now, may I try?”

Ishmael’s face twisted in a confused scowl. Vetster’s grin widened, Ishmael’s sword suddenly in his hand. Ishmael stepped back.

“You know what?” Vetster stepped to the side, standing before Ishmael was now Aroodamate. “I want to watch you fight them instead, without weapons. “

Ishmael stepped back once more, Aroodamate stepped closer, both heads growling, sensing his power.

“I’ll free you both.” Ishmael’s hands sparked with purple flame. “Even if I have to kill you both first and bring you back to do so!”

Aroodamate stepped back from the flame, then suddenly the Hooded head’s hand sparked to life with an orange flame, the furred hand became a spiked ball.

Ishmael launched forward, scorching the ground behind him. Fireball after fireball flew from his hands exploding on impact with his former friends. Aroodamate stepped back, deflecting a few with his spiked ball.

Suddenly Ishmael was face to face with the beast, close enough to subdue them easily. He hesitated, a foolish mistake. The hooded head punched hard, his fist burning red with fire. Ishmael fell back hard, landing on a gem formation, the pointed, hard crystals impaling his chest.

Ishmael groaned, struggling to free himself. Aroodamate roared loudly, the hooded eye glowing, suddenly the gems expanded in size, growing wider and taller. Ishmael groaned out in pain, the gems puncturing his lungs and heart. Soon, gems grew through his hands, legs, neck, and eyes, his body completely overrun with crystals.

“Vell now.” Lukas called out from atop the canyon wall. “You do sure seem to bring death along with ya’ don’t you mister Veterinarian?”

“Lukas Müler. The world renowned geologist and mason. Well my dear friend, I hate to disappoint you, but I am not the Veterinarian. Call me Vetster. However, calling this beast Death, is a very accurate description.”

Aroodamate roared, seeing Lukas uptop the canyon wall. Lukas scoffed, stomping the ground. Instantly, Aroodamate became insealed in rock, the heads still out.

“Your pet doesn’t scare me. And neither do you sir.” He jumped down, sliding down the crystal wall, down to Vetster. “I see you took Ishmael’s sword, i’m gonna take it back from you.”

“Come get it”

Lukas grinned, “I hoped you’d say that” The crystal walls shifted and swallowed Lukas inside. Vetster stood confused. Shortly after the entire canyon wall stepped out, in a humanoid form, at its center was Lukas.

“Gem manipulation. This specimens requires further study.”Shadows filled the canyon, blotting out the sun with its darkness. Lukas’s gem suit stepped forward, stomping around randomly to try and find it’s target. Unwittingly, one stomp frees Aroodamate, while simultaneously knocking the beast out.

Slowly the shadows fade away, seeping themselves into the crystals, turning them ink black. Lukas looked down at the now clear canyon floor, Aroodamate unconscious on the ground, Vetster nowhere to be scene.

“Now vwhere has that varmit gone?” Soon, the shadows had completely taken over every last gem of Lukas’s suit. “Vwhat the hell?” Despite his best efforts, the crystals refused to respond to Lukas’s will.

“Well, it seems the subject can’t control dark mystic crystals, taking note of subjects response to realization” Vetster’s voice reverberated in the crystal suit. “Beginning pain endurance test now. “

The crystal suit launched Lukas out, directly down onto the floor. He landed directly on his head, the impact so powerful, his body crushed his skull, snapped his neck, decapitated itself, and broke his spine.

“Hmm” The crystals began falling to the ground and reforming themselves back into the canyon wall. The shadows leaked out, reforming Vetster’s body.

“Too forceful, subject dead upon impact with canyon floor, keeping note that not every ultra individual is blessed with such high resistance. Will begin looking for next test subjects. Test subject number one, time name ‘Aroodamate’ unconscious after being stomped on by, approximately twenty feet tall crystal golem. “

Vetster sighed, “good day of testing, hmm, who should we study next?”

Vetster bent down, picking up Ishmael’s sword. “I’m not normally one for trophies, but I’ll keep this sword for further studies on its matter shifting abilities.”

He looked up and down the canyon before continuing his walk down the canyon, “a truly beautiful place, I must harvest some of these gems for further research before we move on.”

He smiled, trailing his hand along the gem wall, pulling a gem out every few feet, studying it intently before either putting it back into the wall, or placing it in his pocket.
