Chapter 3
Super Random
Spike guided SaySky along the stone walkway, pointing out literally every single place. Including his personal "thinking stump." They were almost at the giant black steel entrance when Spike suddenly stopped right in front of a wide building with the words "General Discussion" etched into a plaque on the side, "Aha! This is one of the best places to hang out! All of my bestest friends are in there right now! I bet they're spamming it up to the fullest while we're just standing here talking about it." Spike said with enthusiasm.
"... Spamming it up?" SaySky curiously asked, although deep down he felt like he didn't want to know what it meant.
"Oh, just being completely random, changing the subject very often, things like that." Spike smirked as he headed towards the building. SaySky followed him inside. He looked around to see that no one else was in here except for him and Spike. In the center of the room, a large poll stood with a direction sign on it. One pointed to the left, which was labeled as "Intellectual Discussion" and another pointed to the right, which was labeled as "Super Random". In the direction of Super Random, loud, muffled noises could be heard down the long, narrow hallway.
"All right, SaySky, are you ready to meet awesomeness?" Spike laughed as he began trotting towards the hallway.
"I'm not sure what you mean by awesomeness..." SaySky mumbled as he skeptically walked behind Spike. As they came closer to the door that lead into Super Random, the noises grew louder and louder. It felt as if chaos was about to explode from that room and flood the entire building. They finally reached the source of madness and Spike happily kicked open the door. SaySky closed his eyes shut, expecting a mob to mow him down, or something to swallow him whole. Instead, a chair leg came flying out of the room and hit him dead on the forehead. The impact was strong enough to knock SaySky down on his buttocks. The pain quickly surged right to his forehead, forming a heart beat where the chair leg had struck, "What the heck?!" SaySky cursed as he rubbed his head soothingly.
"Sorry about that!" A young lad apologized as he picked up the chair leg, "I get a little carried away with this thing." The lad then quickly ran back inside and carried on with whatever shenanigans he was doing.
"That's Adonis, he's a little obsessive over that chair leg..." Spike explained while helping SaySky back on his feet.
"Why the heck would someone obsess over a chair leg?" SaySky asked, still soothing his head with a rubbing motion.
"Well... that's sort of my fault. Long story." Spike replied smiling. He then grabbed SaySky's arm and lead him inside Super Random. The place was huge, it probably took up most of the building itself. There was things being thrown in the air, a lot of goofy and spontaneous acts were being pulled on unfortunate members. Adonis was flailing his chair leg while chasing someone around the room. "This is... absolute disaster." SaySky thought to himself. He couldn't understand how this exact place was the best place to hang out, let alone be labeled as awesomeness. Spike waved down two members and they ran towards him. One of them tackled Spike to the ground and put him in a head lock. "Hey... take it easy. Don't mess up... the hair, man." Spike managed to say while struggling against the head lock.
After a few more moments, the boy let go of Spike and brushed off his shirt like he had just been through a dust storm, "I see you brought along a new companion from the Cold War with you, Spike. Who's the commanding officer?" The boy asked while walking around, sizing up SaySky. The boy spoke with a rather thick accent, which may have been British.
"Wait... what?" SaySky was completely confused by what the boy had just said. Commanding officer? Cold War? None of that made any sense.
"Oh, ignore God of Bronies... he's always like that." Spike responded while rolling his eyes.
"For the last time, Spike, it's God of Kaoss now! My gosh, how many times have I bloody told you? 5? 6?" God of Kaoss complained.
"You're a God of something, that's for sure," One of the other guys nudged God of Kaoss in the side.
"This is our newest member, SaySky. SaySky, I'd like you to meet God of Kaoss," Spike pointed towards the British sounding boy, "and beside him is ZeMasked." Spike then pointed to the guy beside God of Kaoss. This guy's appearance was very mysterious to SaySky. When he lifted up his hand to wave hello, it was revealed that his hand was actually robotic. He had a hood that partially covered his face, but at certain angles, you can make out two circular glowing red eyes. But most of the time, ZeMasked kept his head down.
"Hey! You're the new guy that joined, right?!" Someone yelled out across the room. The young boy was running towards the group when he almost tripped and fell flat on his face. Luckily he regain his balance and continued running until he finally reached them, "You're... SaySky... right?" The boy huffed and puffed, trying to catch his breath, "My name... is Rocket..."
"Nice to meet you, Rocket...?" SaySky replied. He turned to the others to see if they knew what was going on, but they were too focused playing Punch-For-Punch.
Rocket finally recovered his breath, "I know you're new here and all, but if you really want to get more involved around here, you should try joining groups!"
"Groups?" SaySky asked, but he then regretted asking.
"Oh yes! Groups are pretty much what hold this whole community together! But if I were you, I'd try joining in on a group that is being made, instead of the ones that are already popular. You should try joining my group! It's called Cranium Lizards!"
"I... don't think I really want to join a group right now..." SaySky said cautiously. He tried to slowly back away from Rocket but the boy was not taking no for an answer.
"Oh please? It would mean so much to me! Other people keep laughing at the idea but I will prove them wrong... I will prove them all wrong or my name isn't William Scraggy!" Rocket said in an angry tone.
"I thought your name was Rocket?" SaySky was confused yet again. Nothing is making any sense in this forsaken place. All of a sudden, the doors to Super Random were kicked open. A man wearing steel-toed boots slowly appeared into the room. His pinkish eyes glared around the room, searching for it's next prey. He wore a tattered grey hood with messy black hair peeking out from underneath. He also had bandages wrapped around his mouth and down his neck. His skin was as white as snow, making him seem like a phantom. He slowly made his way towards SaySky and Rocket, who was literally shaking in his boots. The man approached Rocket and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.
He leaned down and stared Rocket right in the eyes, "How long ago was it when I last told you not to advertise your group in this place?" He spoke in a firm, raspy voice.
"P-Please, Dion! I-I-I didn't mean any trouble! I'm just a wee little Shellos!" Rocket pleaded, his legs were crumbling under the tension of Dion's stare.
"The last time you told me you were a Scraggy. But that doesn't matter now, I warned you once too many now, Rocket. You're going on probation," Dion stated. He looked at SaySky with curiosity before speaking again, "You. Stay out of trouble."
"Y-Yes sir!" SaySky stuttered. Dion nodded at the response and began making his way out, dragging Rocket by the collar. Rocket was still screaming mercy when they finally went out of the place. SaySky gave out a sigh of relief when Spike came over and gave him a pat on the back, "Who... was that guy?"
"That's Dion. He's a Global Moderator. Tough, but probably the best the forum has. He does a lot for this place, and everyone respects him. But don't worry, as long as you don't get on his bad side, he's the nicest guy you'll ever meet... besides me of course!" Spike laughed.
"Guys! Incinirmatt set off fireworks inside again! Everyone clear out!" Adonis shouted as he hurried his way out of the room. Next thing that happened, explosions started going off all over the place. Everyone was screaming and yelling as they headed out the doorway. Spike and SaySky managed to get out of building without being trampled on.
"That place... is completely insane!" SaySky yelled at Spike.
"Yeah, but it grows on you. Come on, there's still one more place I want to show you." Spike said. He then grabbed onto SaySky's arm and ran off down the stone walkway.
