Chapter 4 - The Butterfly Effect - Chapter 4: Night of Nights

That night, Glade was tossing and turning in bed because of a nightmare.

"ungh. What's happening? Where am I? Where is everyone?" She sees a door in the dark void that she is in. It seems that there are 2 lights behind the door. One is green, while the other is red. "What the hell is this door? Why are there lights?" She tries to open it, but several unfamiliar yet oddly familiar voices say, "You are not ready yet. Train hard, and you may unlock your hidden potential. Our hidden potential." Then she is pushed into the void. "Ah! Thank goodness it was all a dream." *riiiinnnnnggg* "Oh, my alarm's gone off." *click* "Welp, I better call Sadie."

[Timeskip]

"Sadie was WHAT?! Are you absolutely sure, Ethan?!" "It's true, you have to come quickly!" "ohcrapcrapcrapcrapcrap"

[Bellwood Medical Institute of Medicine]

Glade is rushing down the corridors to find the room Sadie is in. "Room 1010... Room 1010... there!" *huff huff* "IS SHE OKAY?!" The doctor looks at her, and says, "She's doing well, but she is currently in a coma. We have no idea when she'll wake up." Glade says, "Ethan, what happened to her?!" Ethan replies, "She accidentally dropped a vial of mysterious slimy liquid on her foot, and now she's unconscious." "No, this can't be happening! I already lost many people dear to me, please don't go!" Suddenly, Sadie opens her eyes slightly. "Glade, is that you?" Glade is momentarily suprprised, then she hugs Sadie tightly. "Sadie, you're okay!" Sadie asks, "What happened?" Ethan explained what happened, and Sadie freaks out. "Sadie? Sadie, are you alright?" Sadie replies, "Oh no, that vial contained DNA from an unknown alien species that utilizes horizontal gene transfer to reproduce!" Sadie checks her arms, looks in the mirror, and checks under her shirt. "Phew, my DNA isn't contaminated!" Glade retorts, " I think you should check your legs." 

....

"FUCK, MY LEFT LEG IS BLUE! AND IT ALSO HAS RUBBERY LOOKING FUR!"

There is silence at first. Then Glade suddenly regained the energy to speak.

"HOLY HELL!" Then Ethan. "SHIIIIITTTTT!" And then Sento, who had just arrived, last screamed. "AUDDSGCHXVHDCGHCDGCUSGCJSXHEJCHWJDHSJCAHIWCHWJDHIWDHWIDHWHAGH!!!!!!!!"

[Plumber Base E054, Training room, 9:45 pm]

Glade punches a combat training drone with the strength of Four Arms.

"ARGH! HRRAGH! DIE!" *KRAKKABOOM!* *huff huff* "what should I even do now..."

Suddenly, the alarms begin blaring.

"Augh, what now?" She checks the CCTV's, and what she sees angers her more.

It's the new cult.

---------------------------

"Ah, nuts." Glade sighed as she went to confront the threat, eventually reaching the area where they had broken in. "What do you want?!" she snapped. One of the members, a dark skinned man about 20 years of age, replied, "We wish to enlighten you about Ens Antiquum Tentaculatum." "Nope. Not falling for this crap." "hmm. Then I suppose we shall have to use force." Suddenly, the dark skinned man extends an unknown appendage that should not be on humans. It was a tentacle.

[Timeskip]

Glade could barely utter a sound after the harsh beating the Cult of Tentaculatum gave her. "guh."

The dark skinned member, Jude was his name, said, "Any last words, heretic?" As Jude drew closer, Glade could only think about her family and friends. "I can't die now! I've still got so much to live for!" Suddenly, Glade's right eye split into 3 irises, each with a color: purple, green, and red, and then the irises merged back together and started switching between the colors. Two ghostly silhouettes appeared behind her, one quite tall and wearing a green jacket, the other wielding a red knife with a sinister red smile.

The red figure throws large red energy knives at the member named Morrison, a Caucasian man of 18 years of age. Jude attempts to intervene, but the green figure fires a human-skull-shaped gaster blaster at him. The rest of the Cult members were slightly terrified, but uttered a silent prayer to Ens Antiquum Tentaculatum, and joined the fight.
