Writing Assignment #5 [ I Was With ______ When ...... ]
|
|
|
|
Chapter I
|
|
|
|
I was with george in a small town that afternoon. We were playing
|
|
horseshoes and we were betting on them horseshoes. As George leaned over
|
|
the bench shot a glanceat me and said "Watch 'ya plannin' on doin'
|
|
afterwards..." i told him i was going to hike over to the bunk house and
|
|
have a short nap. I looked back at the playing area. I slammed down 5 bucks
|
|
on the wooden betting table over player 1. I heard George yell and scream.
|
|
2 seconds later the player i bet on won and i won double. Content with my
|
|
winnings i screamed over to George to tell him i was going back to the bunk
|
|
house. George told me to wait up. We left the barn and ran over to see
|
|
where lennie was. We both stopped straight in our tracks we saw something
|
|
that almost made us faint.
|
|
|
|
Chapter II
|
|
|
|
In front of us stood lennie, he was standing over the slouched curley's
|
|
wife and was mumbling "I've done another bad thing..." We asked lennie what
|
|
the heck he did. He just stood there looking at us like we were some alien
|
|
from a diffrent planet. He just started screaming and ran off in the
|
|
distance. I told george we had better tell the gang this. We gonna get our
|
|
hides whipped when curley finds out about this. A few minutes later when
|
|
curley and the gang came over and saw this he said to george "You fat
|
|
Son-of-a-*****" you killed my wife. I'm going to beat the living daylights
|
|
outta you. George sensing curley's fustration moved back a few feet. George
|
|
stammered " I didn't kill your wife it must've been lennie, The crazy idiot
|
|
must've did it. he ran off when we ran to him ", " i don't believe you, you
|
|
lying scoundrel's ll' pay for this'". I shook my hand at George to tell him
|
|
to run. We suddenly dashed off into the distance. I heard curley yelling at
|
|
us but we couldn't hear him in out fear of getting killed.
|
|
|
|
Chapter III
|
|
|
|
When we thought we lost curley a few shotgun blast hit the side of a
|
|
tree as we dashed past it. We were both frightened as hell, but we kept on
|
|
running for our lives. Another 2 shots rang out. As we were running we
|
|
spotted a cave on the left hand side of the country road and dove in it.
|
|
|
|
Chapter IV
|
|
|
|
Inside the cave was a thin piece of some type of glass. It was glowing
|
|
a deep red and looked like it was hollow. i put my hand in and it looked
|
|
like it just dissapeared in the glass. I withdrew my hand in fright. I
|
|
asked george what it was, he replied with a shrug of his shoulders. We then
|
|
heard shotgun blasts again from the outside but this time it was much
|
|
closer than the other blast. George said " We better dive in that whatever
|
|
it is or we'll get ourselves shot ". With that he dived in the blank void.
|
|
I jumped in after him. I saw a huge amount of swirling colours around me
|
|
and then it disappeared. I looked at my surroundings. I saw huge metal
|
|
boxes in the distance and desert sand all around me. the sun was in the
|
|
early east which meant it must be sometime in the morning. I felt a tap on
|
|
my shoulder. I whirled around and put my hand around the person's neck. "
|
|
Ack. It's me man. George i not no alien." I released my hold. He went on "
|
|
Whatever in that place may be ". I started to talk when George interuppted
|
|
me. " Let's go and check them place out ". He started to walk, i followed
|
|
along. A few hours laters. The metal boxes we had seen earlier were not as
|
|
small as before they had rised way over our heads and were huge. We saw
|
|
people like ourselves all around the streets walking. Funny thing though
|
|
they were wearing funny clothing that seemed to stick to their skins. We
|
|
also saw sliding pieces of glasses in the openings of the boxes. We
|
|
approached a man standing on the street block carry a funny round object.
|
|
We approached him. I asked him " Were's here? ". He replied in a strange
|
|
language whichwe couldn't understand. He took out a small black box and
|
|
pressed a few buttons. he spoke "Je parle fran...", He looked a bit
|
|
agitated and pressed another button "Cing mun nay may..", Clickhe pressed
|
|
another button. Finally he spoke again "Yes, Sorry about that it's was my
|
|
voice modulation device, what did you want". I said " Where are we,No
|
|
actually what time is it ". He replied " Your are in VarysBrook, the time
|
|
is 4:30eta, 3046 ", "What is 3046? ", " The year 3046, hey what's with the
|
|
funky cowboy clothing ". Confused with the previous reply we went on. Not
|
|
too soon, two guards came up to us and said " You are not citizens of
|
|
VarysBrook, or of this time period please come with us ". Thinking finally
|
|
there was some people who could help us was wrong. They locked us in the
|
|
back of a small wagon-like moving object, And suddenly the two people gave
|
|
us needle shots. I conked out right after.
|
|
|
|
Chapter V
|
|
|
|
I woke up in the middle of a cell room. Probably not bigger than crooks
|
|
room back at the ranch. Another one of those people came by and hit a few
|
|
buttons and the the bars that confined me dissapeared. He lead me out of
|
|
the cage and the bars reappeared. I asked him how did he do that. He threw
|
|
a grunt at me. I remained silent for the rest of the walk. We approached
|
|
another place with a sliding piece of metal on the wall. It opened when he
|
|
approached it. He dragged me in. He told me to sit down. I did just that.
|
|
There was a big table with a rotating chair with it's back facing me. I
|
|
asked who sits in that seat. The seat rotated and faced me and the person i
|
|
saw sitting in it frightened me.
|
|
|
|
Chapter VI
|
|
|
|
The man who was sitting in the seat was lennie. I couldn't reckognize
|
|
him at first but after i saw his scar on his right arm and then i
|
|
reckognized immediatly. He started to talk, " Ah.. I knew you'd come. You
|
|
must be wondering how you got here.. Or maybe how i got here, I can tell
|
|
you this much. 1 minute back at the ranch during your period means 1 year
|
|
over here. I've been here for 7 years believe or not. I'm no longer the
|
|
crazy idiot who keeps on petting rabbits all day long.... That dosen't
|
|
matter now. You must work for me now. You will be one of my many servants
|
|
that will serve me. Hhahaha. ". Seizing the opportunity i pulled the
|
|
good-luck rock i've been keeping for over 2 years straight at lennies head.
|
|
I hit right between his eyes and it dazed him. Just enough for me to jump
|
|
at the man behind me and tackle him down. I grabbed his strange looking
|
|
machine that he had dropped and ran out of the room. I was searching high
|
|
and low for George's cage until i heard a slight buzzing noise behind me. A
|
|
thin shaft of blue light hit my left leg and i screamed out loud. i dropped
|
|
to the floor and another shot hit my left arm and another hit my left eye,
|
|
All went blank.
|
|
|
|
Chapter VII
|
|
|
|
I woke up in a small room totally unlike the other rooms i were in
|
|
before i was hit by thoe shots. As i opened my left eye, i saw something
|
|
that frightened me. My left eye had a red cross hair on it and indicators
|
|
on both sides of my eye. By thinking of commands i could manipulate my eye
|
|
to do close up and xray functions. A man came up to me. You were very
|
|
lucky. George got you here in time or you would've died. I must tell you a
|
|
few things. We barely managed to revive your eye. and your left arm and
|
|
leg. We have implanted robotic parts in you left arm and leg and
|
|
implemented a new FastBrain computer chip controller in the left and right
|
|
hemispheres of your brain. Your movement ability is 1005Ls and power is
|
|
increased to 150 tons. I've already programmed all the needed knowledge
|
|
available today.". I felt funny though it was like i new every single word
|
|
on the planet and every single language. George came by and said "You were
|
|
bleeding like hell, so man.. i rushed you over to some huge metal building
|
|
and this man said this was a hospital so feeling relieved i said make him
|
|
better quick looks like he dying." The man goes i need 5 million dollars
|
|
for the operation, I said i had no money and they said well we won't heal
|
|
him. I thought quickly and said he'll die. The doctor said many people get
|
|
killed every day or sent to his death by lennie. I was going to ask who was
|
|
lennie. But he left. Luckily though this doctor that saved you said he
|
|
designed a new type of Umm... " Robotic Equipment " said the doctor filling
|
|
in for George. "Yah.. That it's, well anyways he said it in some type of
|
|
beta testing and he needed a tester. He said it'll be free. At that in such
|
|
a panic i would've said yes to anything. " George continued " I forgot to
|
|
tell you how i got out, well you see when that man took me along this
|
|
hallway, so i got pissed off and strangled him to death i ran along the
|
|
hallway trying to find an exit when i see you slumped on the ground
|
|
bleeding like anything, so i picked you up and brought you here.". I got up
|
|
and went up to a mirror to look at myself. The Doctor commented " You won't
|
|
see any metal parts in your body it's all concealed. The Metal is a new
|
|
organic mixed alloy so it'll grow with you. Suddenly two men crashed
|
|
through the door and started to shoot at us.
|
|
|
|
Chapter VIII
|
|
|
|
I dove to the ground and pulled George along. The doctor was not so
|
|
fortunate, he was shot in the head and died right there. I yelled . I
|
|
jumped at the man standing closest to the door and punched him with my left
|
|
hand, he went flying through the door. I picked up his gun from the floor
|
|
and slid under a couch. Using the mirror on the far wall i aimed my gun
|
|
towards it's. My computer-aided reflexing caused me to shoot a perfect shot
|
|
which rebounded off the mirror and hit the man. I yelled to George " Let's
|
|
get out of here! ". He got up and started to run i followed him out the
|
|
door. We ran out of the hospital and ran to a nearby bar and dashed in
|
|
knowing that if anybody followed us we'd be able to hide in the crowd. We
|
|
took a seat at the far back. I spoke to George " It must've been lennie! I
|
|
really want to kill that idiot ". A waitress that was serving the other
|
|
table came over and pulled out a pen. She said " What would you like to
|
|
order? ". At the same time we both said " A bowl of beef stew. ". She
|
|
responded by telling us they didn't have such a thing. She said " Maybe i
|
|
can help. We have the Burger and fries special and the square-pizza combo
|
|
or maybe you want to have our vitamin-strength pills or power capsules. ".
|
|
I said we'll have the second one. George interrupted me " We don't got
|
|
cash! ", I took out a magnetic card and waved it at George. " All the cash
|
|
we need is right here! Doc gave it to me.. ". George said " That our cash?
|
|
". Before answering George's question i told the waitress she could process
|
|
our order. As she left i said to George " This card carried 4 trillion
|
|
bucks.. We could buy a lot of stuff with it ". George shrank back into his
|
|
chair. As the waitress came back with our food. I gave her the card and she
|
|
ran it through a machine she was carrying and then said " Thank You.. ",
|
|
Then she left. When George started to eat he said " Good and fast service.
|
|
". After we ate we left the bar and looked around. George pulled me into an
|
|
alleyway. Just as two of those men passed by on the other side of the road.
|
|
" Another Closey... " said George. A middle aged man approached us and said
|
|
are you the man who broke out of jail this morning. Without thinking about
|
|
the consequences about saying yes to the question i nodded. The man said
|
|
come into our hideot quick. He lead us underground into a building and
|
|
started to walk in the hallway. We went down the hallway further and went
|
|
into another room. Inside were an arsenal of weaponry with a group of
|
|
people sitting on metal chairs. " Hey!, What are you doing here! " said one
|
|
of the individuals. " It's okay, it's the man being hunted by the RoP "
|
|
said the man as he appeared from behind us. " Oh it's you. Okay come in ".
|
|
When we finally got to sit down. The man introduced himself as " My name is
|
|
Varhch Jop, I'm the leader of the underground against Lennie group. ". " We
|
|
are going to have launch a full scale attack against lennie's forces. He's
|
|
been treating us like dust for the last few years and making us work like
|
|
horses. We are going to overthrow him tonight. ". " But you are only a
|
|
group of 4.." i replied. " Maybe we only have 4 people in a group but we'll
|
|
do it somehow ". For the rest of the evening we talked about how we are
|
|
going to attack and destroy the base and talked about details. After the
|
|
last few details were covered we began to leave. A girl about the same age
|
|
as me and George came up to the leader and whispered something into his
|
|
ear. The leader laughed out loud and replied " Don't worry, we'll make it
|
|
back safely. ". The girl gave a warning glance to the leader. Ignoring her
|
|
he said " Let's go now and let us have freedom once again. God bless us
|
|
all. ". We left and the girl hastily retreated to her room.
|
|
|
|
Chapter IX
|
|
|
|
When we finally trekked to the side of the base. We threw grappling
|
|
hooks over the edge and scaled the fence. George having some difficulties
|
|
scaling the rope tried to climb the fence with his bare hands. George
|
|
jumped off and yelled to me on the other side " The fence is electrified
|
|
and i can't climb the fence with this here rope. ". Suddenly remembering my
|
|
robotic abilities i leaped over grapped george and leaped back. The group
|
|
stared at me. The leader yelled " how the hell did you do that ". I
|
|
responded by telling them the whole story of how i did get here and how i
|
|
got shot by lennie's guards and how my body got replaced by robotic parts.
|
|
The leader look down at the ground for a few moments. Then he looked at me
|
|
and said " My daughter has a half bionic and half human heart. She was
|
|
coming back from school when she was shot in the heart. We rushed her to
|
|
the hospital just to get it repaired on time or she would've..." He stops
|
|
for a few moments and takes a deep breath. Then he dropped the topic and
|
|
told us our positions.
|
|
|
|
Chapter X
|
|
|
|
We then headed toward the front gate. The skinny man put 2 sticks of
|
|
r-bombs on the door and blasted it. We ran through the door and into the
|
|
stronghold. Suddenly as we entered the stronghold, hundreds of guards came
|
|
out and started to shoot at us. Unfortunately 3 members of the group were
|
|
shot right in the head. The leader yelled a mercenary cry and started
|
|
blasting the guards. I pulled him down just fast enough to escape a shot
|
|
the flew overhead. The leader said "They've killed my 3 buddies!!!!!! I'm
|
|
going to extract they're skulls". I held on to him to stop him from trying
|
|
to get up. He punched me in the ribs in his attempt to struggle free, and i
|
|
let go just briefly, enough for him to get away. The guards stopped
|
|
shooting and locked him up. George was still struggling with the guards
|
|
when he was caught and they conked him out with a rock. Lennie appeared
|
|
behind the molten pile of metal and started to laugh, He said " Hahaha.
|
|
Trying to kill me eh'??... No Way you'll do that to me! I'll kill you two
|
|
by noon.". He went over to george, " Man. I thought you and me were friends
|
|
and now you betray me. tsk. tsk. Out like a baby... ". I thought he must
|
|
have seen me. That idiot was trying to taunt me to come out, and then
|
|
probably kill me. I remained silent. It seemed like an hour but finally
|
|
they went back in and i snuck out of the base without beeing seen.
|
|
|
|
Chapter XI
|
|
|
|
I returned to the underground hideout to study my new strategies. As i
|
|
sat down and poured myself a VSOP Cognac. The leader's daughter came out
|
|
and i stood up. She asked me where her dad was. I sensed my facial
|
|
expression change. I lowered my head and shook it. She cried out " No!,
|
|
That can't be!. Your lying." She ran up to me and started pounding on my
|
|
chest. I grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her. i said " The guards
|
|
took him away!, they also got my buddy!. Control Yourself!.. I'll think of
|
|
something!". She put her head on my shoulder and started to cry
|
|
uncontrollably. I kept on reassuring her that i'll do my best to save them
|
|
but she kept on crying and crying. When she finally regained her composure,
|
|
She told me she was coming along, I told her it would be very dangerouns
|
|
inside a fortress like that. She was determined to go in and save her
|
|
father so we stocked up with weapons and headed back to the fortress for
|
|
the final confrontation.
|
|
|
|
Chapter XII
|
|
|
|
We blew up the front gate and walked right into the foreyard we then
|
|
went into the already blown up front door and blasted the second door. We
|
|
then saw guards coming from all directions. We took most of them down. Some
|
|
of them went back to raise the alarm. " We better move fast you better
|
|
follow me. " i said. " No, To save time i'm going this way to the prison
|
|
cells. You go that way and take care of lennie for good.". Sensing her idea
|
|
was more ideal i took off in the direction to lennie's office. Fighting
|
|
through 20 levels of guards wasn't an easy task but with my acquired
|
|
Computer-Aided-Reflexing it's was a cinch. When i finally reached the door.
|
|
I kicked it open and went in. 2 Humongous robots approached me and started
|
|
to shoot me. I jumped onto the ceiling and threw a few coins into the
|
|
maintenance slot of the robots and they short circuited and failed. Without
|
|
further thinking i shot Lennie. The shot hit him in the leg and he
|
|
collapsed on the floor. He yelled " Don't kill me, I'll reform myself from
|
|
now on. ". That few seconds pondering over that question gave him the upper
|
|
hand. He jumped at me with a survival knife in his right hand. I aimed for
|
|
his head and squeezed the trigger. The shot blasted through his forehead.
|
|
For that split second, All sound seemed to be silenced. All movement
|
|
stopped. Then it was over, Lennie was dead. Thinking about the land we
|
|
dreamed about together brought back memories but this wasn't the lennie we
|
|
used to know. I shook my head to clear the thought. A small voice indicator
|
|
from the telecom system said "Master Non-functional. Base detonation in 1
|
|
minute". I ran upstairs and saw the three of them. All three were injured
|
|
from gunshot wounds. George seemed to be dying. He was delirious and had a
|
|
cold sweat. He managed to gasp " I broke 3 ribs when i was blocking an
|
|
explosion. ". I i picked up george and carried him on my back. I then went
|
|
to the roof and jumped to the ground i ran 50 meters and put down george
|
|
and i ran back to the base i ran back to the 20th floor. I picked up the
|
|
both of them and heard the voice again " 2 Seconds ". I just managed to
|
|
jump off the building and run 15 feet away when the whole building
|
|
exploded.
|
|
|
|
Chapter XIII
|
|
|
|
I managed to bring all of them back to the underground hideout. I then
|
|
took George to the hospital and paid the fee and within 2 hours he was
|
|
healed good as new. George said to me " Man. Lennie that Bast*** is now
|
|
dead, and the town is free again."
|
|
|
|
Chapter XIV
|
|
|
|
After a few days,we managed to find a Time-Rip scientist. He said he
|
|
could bring us back to where we were. He asked where do we want to go. I
|
|
replied 1930's Era. Town of Soledad. George looks at me amazed. The
|
|
scientist presses a button and a piece of glowing red glass appears. The
|
|
same one that took us here. The scientist says " The time rip that brought
|
|
you here was a test i was performing a few years ago. This time warp will
|
|
bring you back to the same place you came from. A few hours back of course.
|
|
". George taps me on the shoulder. I turn around and say " What? ". George
|
|
says "Tell him to send us back a week back so we don't have to be running
|
|
away from Curley when we get back.". I tell that to the scientist and he
|
|
updates the data. He asks me ready? I nod, then i walk towards Varhch and
|
|
say bye and walk towards his daughter. I asked her " I don't think i know
|
|
your name " . She tells me " Karen Vc ". I kiss her on the cheek and then i
|
|
walk towards the time-rip portal. Before we manage to jump in the father
|
|
comes toward us and says " How about us coming with you back to the 1930's
|
|
". I look at George and he looks back at me. I say " Okay, That's fine...
|
|
you can see our simple lives back in the 30's ". We wave at the scientist
|
|
for the last time and leap into the portal. A few seconds later we reappear
|
|
back inside the cave.
|
