Chapter 3: Turntable

The next item was located in, oddly enough, an abandoned warehouse. The dash there wasn't as lengthy as the previous factory, but it was tiring nonetheless. The warehouse, even with its flashy colors and mysterious architecture, still looked old and decrepit, with some discolored moss here and there. The door was halfway open, and Matt crouched and entered into the warehouse. Nothing of specialty was in it, only a lot of old boxes and crates. However, one pile caught Matt's eye. It looked like a normal pile of crates, but it was symmetrical, with multiples stacked in one large cube. Upon closer inspection, the crate on the front had hinges. Matt found a crowbar next to it, and cracked it open. Inside was a door, and the crate was, oddly enough, half as big as it was on the outside. Carefully, he opened the door, and was greeted with a room.

The room was dark, while Matt was surveying the area. Polished black tile floors with the spaces in between glowing a brilliant blue. The ceiling was illuminated by purple-and-pink lights that came from its edges, and then, looking forward, Matt saw it. The Turntable... Matt knew that a room like this was too safe, so he had to be careful. One step forward, and Matt's suspicions were confirmed. The tile below him glowed bright blue, while random tiles in front glowed blue as well, while others stayed black. Matt decided that he might only be able to step on the bright ones, so he took plenty of care in making sure he only stepped on the right ones. Suddenly, music kicked in. It sounded... Russian? The urge to dance took over him, and he started doing a kick. Seeing an opportunity, with each kick, he jumped to the next tile. Matt was easily making his way across the room, and he finished the dance with a spin and a bow on the last tile. Just as he did that, the music finished.

Matt just shrugged it off, and looked over the turntable. It had a sleek, shiny obsidian design, with neon blue lights lining the controls. There was a logo on the underside. It was a blue triangle with a smaller one inside it, and a rectangle with three prongs under it, with the center one shorter than the other two. It started blinking, and when Matt touched it, it revealed a compartment. Inside it was a jacket and pants. They were both black with blue designs, particularly streaks of blue down the sleeves and back of the pant legs. The same logo on front of the turntable was present on the back of the jacket. Matt took off his normal clothes, and put the outfit on. He could move well in it, and he liked the design. Same as the shoes, he put his previous jacket and pants in his pocket dimension, and looked back at the turntable. There was a button in the compartment. When he pressed it, it started shrinking, and folded itself into a small black box. Matt picked it up, and just to be sure, he tossed it back on the ground to see if it would grow again. Surely enough, when it hit the ground, it started unfolding and growing back into the turntable. Matt turned it small again, and put it in his pocket. When he looked back at the path, a whole line of blue tiles was directly leading back to the door was in front of him. He could freely go back to the entrance. Once he was there, just to see what would happen, he stepped on one of the black tiles. The ground began to shake, and the tiles started falling, except for the bright ones. They dropped into a strange purple abyss below. Matt's eyes widened, then he stepped back out. He sealed the door with the crowbar he left nearby and started walking away. However, before he could step too far from it, he started hearing faint music. He looked around, confused. Suddenly, something burst through the roof, and landed in front of him in a whirlpool of pink and blue. Matt clenched his fists and got in a fighting stance, ready for anything that might have landed. When the whirlpool dissipated, it revealed someone familiar. It was Lux. "Matt." "Lux."

"What do you want?" Matt asked as soon as Lux stood up, keeping his guard up. "Relax. I'm not here to kill you or anything, you know." Lux stated. "I still don't trust you. After all, you did send your entire police force after me." "Oh forget that. I just wanted to see how well you were doing. Nice outfit by the way. It's a lot better than the one you had previously." Matt wanted to punch her in the face for saying that, but he couldn't help but agree this outfit looked better. "So, why ARE you here anyway?" "Just wanted to greet you. And offer something." Matt squinted his eyes. "What offer?" "Join me, and I'll let you rule this place with me. No strings attached." Matt dropped his stance. Was she being serious? Or is this a trick? Either way, Matt stopped acting serious. Lux got closer to him, and looked him in the eyes. "Just do it, Matt. It'll be easier for you." Matt contemplated for a bit, then sighed. He shrugged with a defeated look in his eyes. "Fine... I'll do it." Matt said, giving up. "Good. Now..." Lux leaned in for a kiss, and Matt closed his eyes... Suddenly, a shockwave was sent through Matt's chest, sending him flying into a nearby crate. "Hah! Did you really think I'd let you lead this place? I can't believe how gullible you are!" Lux yelled out before laughing triumphantly. She began walking away. Matt looked down at the ground, before feeling something snap in him. When you deceive Matt, he doesn't just get mad. He goes BERZERK.

He dashed forward quickly, and before Lux could turn around completely, sent a fist straight into her face. It was strong enough to send her flying, like she did to Matt. His face showed the anger of the Doom Slayer himself, and he went in for another attack. Lux blocked it this time however, and tried to counterattack. Matt blocked it as well, and did a combo on her where he punched her twice in the face, kneed her in the stomach, and knocked her on the ground with a kick to the head. Before she could get up, he grabbed her by the neck, threw her in the air, jumped up, and kicked her hard, sending her across the warehouse. She landed on the cold, hard metal of the sides of the warehouse, before sliding down to the ground. Matt approached her slowly, and before he could get to her, Lux stood up. She put up the same fighting stance Matt had previously, with her arms blocking forward. Matt just brought her arms down and slapped her square across the face. She staggered, before getting stunned. Matt cracked his knuckles somehow, and uttered a few words. "Let's finish this." He used a Rage Art. He punched her twice in the face, kneed her in the head, head-butted her, elbowed her chest, and after grabbing her top garment, extend his right arm, curled each of his fingers individually, and as he punched, he let out a battle cry. "ORA!" The punch was electric, and devastating. It was strong enough not just to send her flying, it sent her straight through the wall of the warehouse, and landed outside. Matt looked over her in utter disgust. It somehow didn't knock her out, as she was still conscious. She crawled away backwards from him, while muttering incomprehensibly, and then teleported away. Matt knew to let her go, as to finish her off was a waste of time to him. He then headed off to collect the final item on his list: The Deck.
