The woman was sick.
The boy was just happy she didn’t have the actual Blight. It had been nearly too much for him to watch all of Wood Man’s video diaries as the Robot Master was transformed from his pleasant self into something twisted and horrible. Proto Man didn’t think he could bear to watch it unfold right in front of his eyes. Would killing the archdemon assuage her condition or was the shade’s parting gift a whole new disease?
“We need to traverse a long distance,” Proto Man muttered as he tried to fiddle with his AV projector app. “Give me a moment… I know I can get this working.”
Whirda nodded her head and stepped back as the preteen machine pulled up several boxes on his internal display. After a brief moment, he located the software he was looking for, and a quick download later, the barrel of the Proto Buster flashed with light. Instead of a destructive burst of energy, the gun arm projected a three-dimensional map of the Pale Moors onto the ground in front of Whirda. The woman furrowed her brow and knelt down next to the virtual map. “How’d you do that?”
“It’s not that complicated… just a projection of the same map that my GPS software utilizes when I need to chart paths.” Proto Man pointed to a cluster of little buildings near his feet. “This is Darkshire, and we’re over there.” His finger moved to two little blips. “We need to head over there…” Near the far side of the map, Whirda watched the ‘ground’ light up around what seemed to be a large black archway.
“What is that landmark?”
“They call it the Black Gate… it’s the original gateway to the Underverse. The agent I dispatched said that Scylla’s base of operations is near the area, so we may have to scout it out a little beforehand.”
“Scylla?”
“The source of the Blight. That’s who we’re going to banish.”
Whirda nodded her head, although she was clearly still trying to process all of the information in her head.
“We should head out… do you need any supplies or are you going to be okay? I don’t really eat, so it’s not something that’s going to slow me down.”
