You were enjoying a sunny day. Or maybe it was a rainy day. Perhaps there was a snowstorm. Maybe it wasn't daytime at all. Whatever the case is, a bright light flashed before your eyes and the world suddenly got dark afterwards.
The only thing you could remember was a set of red eyes staring at you, intently. A cold glow emitted from them, you remember.
Your bones hurt as you gain consciousness, slowly. You feel a pressure that makes it hard for you to push your weight up from the cold floor. Your eyes manage to open up, and focus. The room you're in is vast. There are others, you can tell. There are silhouettes, at least. Whether if they're alive or not, you can't exactly tell. The room is very dark, with only a faint glow of white before you. The floor you're on is very cold. Maybe some sort of metal.
Then you see.. it.
A four legged, pony looking creature. As your eyes adjust, you can see more details. The being had two, large wings folded onto it's sides. It wasn't facing you, no. It seemed to be distracted by the floating, pale illuminations of screens. Faint silhouettes of cables emerged from the back of the screens. You could make out crimson glowing cables that stuck out from under the mane and tail of the being before you, much like the screens' cables.
The tail flicked.
It heard your gasp.
It turned it's head to reveal a glowing, triangular, 2D shard for a horn floating over it's forehead, and a set of glowing red eyes. The underneath of its hooves had the same ruby red glow, that felt ominous.
<I had no choice.>
It - she, the voice sounded feminine - spoke, though her mouth didn't move. You felt the words filling your mind as she crept closer to you with slow, steady steps. She reflected no emotions in her voice.
<They hid her heart in the mortal plains where I - we - cannot reach. I am already of exile, I cannot risk being traced and terminated.>
Now she was up close to your muzzle, merely inches away, her red glowing eyes had mechanical pieces. Now that she was this close, it was easy to tell that she was a robot of sorts. The iris in the middle shrunk and enlarged as she inspected you, like a camera's shutter.
<They shattered her heart and hid the pieces. I will send you there. You have to find the shattered fragments. If She does not awaken, Arcadia is doomed. The universe is doomed.>
A loud, thunderous explosion knocked the dark place, shook it, then vibrated the metal floors. Her head jolted towards the source of the impact. The sound was deafening, but the screeching noise that seemed to be an alarm was even worse.
Her eyes turned to you, shutter-pupils shrunk into a small dot over the red glowing eyes.
<You must hurry. Or else they will find you.>
She zipped back to the screens and hooved at the screens lightning fast, and an oval portal tore in mid air, looking at you and all those with you hungrily.
<Go. GO.>
She can still be reached via asks in the blog, although not present otherwise. In this story arc, instead of Users being hacked away to talk to Zero, L.A.B. summons them from their homelands for a quick plea.
