Kill the Sun

The Money Sink crawled out of the black cube, looked around, and just started to stand in the middle of the room.

It looked just like her old home.

"I'll be back tomorrow with some money. See you," Nick said as he grabbed the black cube.

The Money Sink glanced at Nick for a second before looking away again wordlessly.

After walking out of the Containment Unit with the cube, Nick showed the cube to Stacy.

Stacy inspected the cube, making sure that no Specters were hiding anywhere near or inside it.

"Alright, get the next one," she said.

Nick nodded.

The two of them jumped to the first floor again, left the building, left the Inner City, and entered Dark Dream again.

The first Specter was done.

Nick went to the third floor and entered one of the Containment Units.

As soon as he entered, he heard the excited barking of a puppy.

Or the Puppy.

Nick smiled slightly. "We're going to move you to somewhere else today. Come on, get in the box," he said, gesturing at the black cube.

The Puppy looked at the black cube with fearful eyes.

"It's only going to be for a couple of minutes," Nick said.

The Puppy looked at Nick with hurt in its watery eyes.

Nick's small smile vanished.

"Get in the box," he said in a neutral tone.

The Puppy began to whimper and approached Nick slowly.

"Get inside, or I will throw you inside," Nick said with a dark tone.

The Puppy fearfully stepped back.

Then, it looked at the black cube again.

Finally, it very slowly walked into the cube while acting like it was walking to its execution.

Nick closed the cube, left via the employee entrance, opened the big door, grabbed the cube, and showed it to Stacy.

Then, the two of them ran toward Dark Dream's new building again.

This time, Nick went to the seventh floor with the cube.

The Puppy used to be on Dark Dream's third floor since it was a Physical Specter, but Nick decided to move it to the seventh floor in their new building.

The seventh floor was for Specters with dangerous mental abilities.

In a couple of years, the Puppy would become an Adult, and there was a high chance that it might evolve an ability that could manipulate people even better.

Nick did not want to take any chances with the Puppy.

It looked harmless and cute, but that was exactly what made it so dangerous.

After delivering the Puppy to the seventh floor, Nick grabbed the next Specter.

"I know you just moved in, but you gotta move again," Nick said to the big man with spidery limbs in front of him.

The big man looked at the small cube before looking back at Nick.

"Come on, you have to come with us in this cube. It's only for a couple of minutes."

The man approached the cube and put one of his spidery limbs inside before looking at Nick again.

Naturally, he wanted to tell Nick that he wasn't fitting in there.

"You fit in there," Nick said calmly. "You're not going to move into your new home while walking around with me. Either you go into the box yourself, or I will cut you into pieces and store you myself. Your choice."

The Abductor looked at Nick.

Nick looked back with a neutral expression.

Then, the big man opened his mouth.

"AAAAAAHHHHHH!"

Nick just looked at him as if nothing happened.

The man closed his mouth.

Then, he slowly climbed into the cube.

It wasn't easy, but he managed to completely stash himself away.

Nick closed the cube and transported it to Dark Dream's new building.

The Abductor was put on the fifth floor, the one for training.

"We're moving," Nick said to the next Specter. "I know it's uncomfortable, but you have to go into this box for a couple of minutes. After that, you'll get your new room. Although, it's white. So, you gotta paint it again."

A woman with scarlet red hair and many wounds all across her body was sitting in the corner of the room, her legs tucked to her chest.

"I kill you," she quietly said.

"No, we're not cutting right now," Nick said. "We gotta move you to your new place. I'll send Larry to work with you later, alright? I heard you like working with Larry."

The Bleeding Lady just rocked back and forth a bit.

"Come on, we have to go," Nick said.

A couple of seconds later, the Bleeding Lady's legs extended, and she started to crawl forward by pulling herself with her arms, her legs just being dragged behind her.

A red trail of blood was left behind by her.

Eventually, she crawled into the cube and returned to her previous sitting position.

"It's just going to be for about five minutes," Nick said.

"I kill you," the Bleeding Lady whispered.

Nick closed the cube and carried it away.

"Hey, Larry, I need you," Nick said in Dark Dream's old main hall.

"Huh?" Larry asked, not expecting to be called by Nick. "What's up, Boss?"

"I promised the Bleeding Lady that you would work with her if she complied. Can you come with me and do that later? I don't want her to throw a tantrum," Nick said.

"Oh," Larry said. "Sure, no problem."

"Thanks," Nick said.

Then, Nick, Larry, and Stacy went to the second floor of Dark Dream's new building.

Larry followed Nick into the new Containment Unit, and Nick opened the cube.

"How did you already color it red?!" Nick asked in surprise as he saw the red color inside the cube.

The Bleeding Lady crawled out of the cube, and she quickly locked onto Larry.

"Hi," Larry said with a smile.

"I kill you!" the Bleeding Lady said with quite a loud voice before quickly crawling towards him.

"You two have fun. I gotta go," Nick said, leaving with the empty cube.

Nick showed the cube to Stacy again, but this time, Stacy frowned.

"It's contaminated. You need to clean this," she said.

Nick sighed. "Sure."
