Cole enters Sparrow’s old funny room and looks around. The room is filled with the smell of mold. There's still various containters on the tables with strange substances, some of which are covered in a fuzz. Cole shrugs and continues down the stairs and looks for the closet that has the hadal blood in it.
The closet opens to shelves of sealed jars of pink hadal blood.
Cole grabs two of them into his hands then looks around, "this bitch not even here anymore. Fuck am I worried for?" His jacket rips as metal strips grab the rest of the jars and then he walks out.
Cole enters his own funny room and sets down all of the jars on a table, then grabs a pipette and grabs some of the blood and puts it under a microscope and looks for the hematopoietic cells.
On looking at the cells he notices strange shapes like messed up Xs that are moving around and moving other cells. There are very few in this sample.
Cole takes the hematopoietic cells out and puts them in a petri dish. Then he grabs a vial of signaling molecules from a cabinet and adds them to the dish and swaps the slide out for the petri dish.
The small Xs start making hadal blood but its super slow considering the small amount of Xs.
Cole takes the petri dish off of the microscope and grabs another sample of hadal blood. Then looks at it through the microscope again looking for the same cells as last time.
There are only a few.
Cole takes them and adds them to the petri dish saying quote, "fuck it we ball."
They start making more blood. it looks like he might get a teaspoon’s worth in a week. if only spent more diamonds or had time travel capabilities.
Cole's hands are surrounded by blue aura as well as the petri dish as time speeds up to equal a 5 days in a couple seconds.
It grows to to take up the whole petri dish as the dish cracks.
"AH!" The aura disappears instantly as he places the dish in a half-gallon sized jar quickly and breathes a sigh of relief.
It awaits for him to spend more diamonds.
The aura reappears as the effect resumes.
It starts slowly filling the jar. When it reaches an inch deep, something in it moves.
Cole blinks as he shrugs and continues
As it gets two inches deep he sees something moving again and a black eye look at him from inside
"AH!" The aura disappears as Cole draws his revolver and stares at it
The eye moves back out of sight as there's more movement from in the blood.
Cole is now panicking slightly as he holsters his revolver and goes to pick the jar up
He can feel something swimming around in the jar but its hard to see.
Cole puts a lid on it and puts it in the off kiln and continues to stare
As the blood starts to boil, he sees something like a long lizard crawl up the side of the jar trying to get out. Theres a quiet and scratchy screeching.
Cole turns the heat up more and plugs his ears
The creature shrieks weakly until it starts melting and half of the blood has already evaporated
Cole turns the heat off and stares at the jar while thinking. It’s dead. He redoes the whole process while metal strips make a small cage out of scrap metal and bolts.
The same thing is seemingly created again. something moves in the blood
Cole puts the jar in the cage and takes the lid off then turns around and drills a hole through it then sticks a iv system through it. He then walks over to the jar and tries to stick the creature with the needle.
The creature he pulls out of the water has half a nother head fused to its face and struggling to breathe. It's limbs are too thin to safely stick a needle in.
Cole sighs and stops trying to stick it as he puts it back in the jar and removes the tubing from the lid
It splashes around some in the jar
Three knocks can be heard. Seems Chris wants to enter.
Cole perks up as he claps and a blanket is dropped over the cage and it's pulled out of sight. As time passes, the creature shrieks for the coming of years it could endure for its kind, but at last its time has come. A fruitless fate for a being brought into this world with no purpose, lost to the sea of souls. Will it be with all those who had lost their meaning as well? In the afterlife, it finds no peace, but instead uncertainty.
It dies.
