CHAPTOR 2
Gaius woke up. His back ached like hell and his hand was a ball of sweat from clutching the flag so tightly last night. Actually, last morning. He also didn't have any lunch or dinner. No matter, time for breakfast. But first, time to see what a beautiful day it is. He opened the window, and was greeted by a frightening sight.
Ponies.That's right. His two neighbors that were fighting over politics were neighing it up in their pony suits. And their conversation was made up entirely of quotes from the horrid show their costumes seemed to be based on.
"AIEEEEEEEE!" Gaius fell back, shuddering. "Oh, god,
bronies"
"Because everyone has to live exactly like you do."
He looked to his side. It was the weeaboo from yesterday. He honestly didn't care about that anymore. Weeaboos > Furries.
"HOW MANY PEOPLE HERE ARE FURRIES"
"Those were bronies bro"
"Furries in denial"
"Fair enough. There are like, 4 or 5 of them."
Gaius was taken aback by this new development. He didn't even bother kicking the other guy out of his house. After all, he'd prefer the company of weeaboos. He tried to put the shocking news out of his mind as he headed down for breakfast.
"So, whatcha up to?" The nameless intruder asked
"I'm having Reese's, for breakfast."
"Candy, for breakfast?"
"Yep."
He opened a pack of Reese's peanut butter cups and munched down on 'em as he headed down to his secret lab. The lab was a fantastic site, as it looked just like the one from the TV show about the orange haired expressive glasses kid with the russian accent. Not very practical.
"Hey, if you're gonna keep following me, at least tell me your name."
"I don't have a name
per se "
"What?"
"I mean, uh, Spin."
Gaius didn't question it. After all, his name was
Gaius of all things. His parents must have done it subconciously after watching too much Battlestar Galactica. It doesn't help that he became the best scientist in the world like the other Gaius. At least he wasn't a horny atheist with an imaginary girlfriend. He would have preferred a verb for a name.
He pressed a switch to go from the secret lab to the secret secret lab, the one where he can actually do stuff. He looked around at his machinations to see if there was one close enough to be modified into something that can keep the town warm. The closest one was a machine that made the world spin and revolve around the sun backwards so the weekend would last an extra day. It had extra features that made it fit for the job.
"Alright I'm gonna need you to lea-" He turned around and saw Spin wasn't there. "Eh, probably off to watch cartoons meant for completely different demographics from another country for the sake of watching stuff from said country." He got to work on the device and sure enough, he was done in just a few short moments. He went off to Mr. mayor's office. But just after he left his secret secret lab, a mysterious figure snuck about.
"Hmm, He doesn't suspect a thing
"
On his way to town hall, Gaius was releaved there weren't any bronies about. He put it out of his mind so he could talk to Alex in a levelheaded manner. He headed straight towards his office because he was a boss and the secretary was playing League of Legends anyway. He popped his head in the room. "I finished that town heater you wanted guys"
"Wait already? I didn't even finish a single one of those research papers I have to do" Alex said.
Mayor L. Harlie seemed interested. At the very least he WASN'T playing Leage of Legends at the moment. "A town heater eh? Seems interesting."
They exited the building, following Mayor Harlie to his Lovecraft, a transportation device that seemed to run on some sort of eldritch power. Gaius bumped into someone.
"You dropped your bible" he said, picking it up. "Oh man you have the most badass beard ever"
"Thanks. You do too."
"I know." Gaius continued walking, stroking his beard. As soon as they entered the Lovecraft, they were immediately at Gaius' home as if they had done a 7th dimension slip. Gaius blindfolded his guests and tossed them into a giant hole in the ground that was in plain sight so they wouldn't no about the lab's secrecy. "Brace for impact."
At the center of the lab was a giant machine covered in a giant white cloth. Gaius removed the cloth dramatically, mumbling under his breath "I don't remember putting this giant cloth here." Suddenly, a voice boomed as if from nowhere.
"There is no pleasure, NO RAPTURE,
NO EXQUISITE SIN GREATER... than central air."
"What" The audience of three said.
The source appeared. He seemed to be some sort of Phantom Renegade. "I have taken over your machine! Now WATCH as I press this button!" His hand hovered over a giant red button.
"NO! NOT THAT BUTTON! IT... does exactly what I wanted it to do?"
The antagonist laughed and looked to the side. "Not anymore!" They looked to find that the outlets each cord was plugged into was switched.
"How does that change anything?" Harlie questioned
"IT CHANGES EVERYTHING" Gaius shouted.
"Now nobody knows what it's gonna do
"
And he pressed the button before anyone had a chance to act. The ground shook...
