possession...... it's 9/10 of the law. stealing is 10/10 of the law, because it's not tolerated in any country... or planet.
"what the Aquaticans of Aquaelia stole was more valuable than any object known to the universe."
dressed up as an Aquatican, I casually walk out of the back room and into the party room, GB machine inside a small bag of infinite space, hanging around my waist, lunar scythe in hand, I carefully look around. trying to mingle, to blend.
meanwhile in the back room. a lone guard patrols the halls and sees the open door, walks in and sees the GB machine is stolen.
the alarm is sounded, and all eyes were on me.
the royal guards came down from their posts and held me a spear point.
"take it easy, fellas. I'm a guest, remember?" I say nervously.
the king speaks "who is this fool?! and why has he decided to grace me with his presence? he's not on the guest list!"
"I am wulf ninja warrior of the planet gaia lone hero corp. you have in your possession valuable material that should not be in existence."
"so, the planet gaia has sent a spy to check up on us. just because we were their creation doesn't mean they can police us forever. we have a right to privacy, with that hardware, your precious gaia won't be able to police the galaxy for very long. just as soon as I can find out how it works, now give it back."
the queen foolishly walks down from her throne and over to me, not knowing wat I will do. "you might as well give up, sweetie. there's nothing more you can do at this point."
I knock down the guards and make a grab for the queen. "no one move or you're queen gets it."
"let's not do anything, that you'll regret."
"I know a hero never holds someone hostage like this, but it's a last resort thing. because if I don't take this from you and put it back in the right hands then I don't get paid, plus you'll take over the universe and I'll see your dull face everywhere."
"look, we only want wat should be rightfully ours. privacy, solitude, power, freedom."
"freedom of wat? your reign of evil?"
"just give it back and you'll leave in one piece."
"I don't like that option; I’m taking door number three." I say as I release the queen and jump out the window, forgetting I’m on the 40th floor. as I plummet to the ground, I immediately think up a plan. I stuck my scythe in the wall and that slows down my rate of falling."
"the captain saw me land feet first to the ocean floor. "seize him!!!!!" he barked.
the guards jump out the window and flap their tail fins. slowly descending, they land to the ground and take after me.
I ditch the costume, and hop in my ship, preparing for take off.
thus the story continues.....
I ditched the ship on a nearby truck stop planet.
while drinking a couple of root beers, I came across an interplanetary greyhound bus that was ready for take off. I quickly jumped form my seat to go catch the bus before it left. I got on and sat down awaiting departure.
since it was a long flight back to Zelos prime, this bus was equipped with cryo-sleep chambers.
few hours later after take off, we're all asleep. they do say that half your brain shuts down during this time, cryo-sleep time.
all around me were my bus-mates
a girl dressed in pink with angelic wings cuddling a gwee dragon near her face. the real cutie pie, angelpetal. a white guy dressed in all black clothing, the dark mysterious snake-in-the-grass, and a snitch to boot. the white dot eyed devil, ninja guardian, a curly black haired devil in blueish-black slacks by the name of smiths. Ninja guardian’s lover, the dark underworld person. who's never seen light, x grim reaper x, a wise man of the native american origin dressed in only black pants with thick, black boots, and his trusty falcon spirit, ficor'. the co-captain of the ship, but not for very long, her name's jira, faklo jira.
the rest were free settlers, the newbs of planet gaia.
then there's my alter ego. the one you won't wanna meet alone. ((locked up in a special cryo-sleep tube marked "please. no early release."))
just then, we were struck by a mysterious EMP, which plummeted us downward towards a mysterious planet.
the captain an co-captain were awoken from hyper-sleep, the tube open and they fell to the floor.
“Jira? Wtf is going on?”
“I dunno. We’ve been hit by some surge of electricity and we’re falling hard and fast.”
“We’ve gotta take control and level this thing out.”
They race to the cockpit, and start figuring out how to do level the ship out.
Engaging thrusters, flooding and emptying the ballast tanks. None of that worked. So Jira decided on her own to drop the load of the ship, to make it lighter.
“WHAT THE FU… I don’t remember authorizing a purge, Jira?”
"HAD TO DO IT, THE SHIP'S TOO HEAVY WITH ALL THAT s**t WEIGHING IT DOWN!!!
the ship was within 20 yard range of the ground, she purges all the back of the ship, but the last one with the human passengers was stuck. i guess luck was raining down on us.
the ship reaches the 5 yard range and Jira managed to level the ship out, then it hit the ground like a meteor hurtling to earth after pieces of it burned off. pieces of the ship flaked off
the ship starts to burn up on entry. Jira opens the wind shield of the cockpit.
smiths, who awoke after the sound of the ship rattling, was hanging onto to a handle bar as the ship fell apart.
((everything fades to black))
scene 2: the ship is in ruins, wires showing, the hull of the ship broken, almost everything destroyed.
everyone else was lucky enough to survive, except the captain. lying in the middle of the the cockpit knife in his heart. everyone stopped and grimly stared.
“might be able to heal him, do you have any of the G-virus liquid on you?”
“there was some in rear cabin. Problem is there is no rear anymore,” responded the co-captain.
“clearly, he’s on his last leg,” says the wise man walking forward and pointing to the body, “this man needs a proper burial.”
While the others buried him, smiths was looking for me and Jodan.
He hears a small sound coming from up ahead, reaches for his retractable nightstick, but I wasn’t there.
Just then, I drops in on him and puts him in a headlock, Smiths elbows him and eventually, I let go and falls to the ground, Smiths was gonna strike him, but he then saw that I was still blindfolded. “better watch out for one of us getting hurt, just keep in mind, it won’t be me.”
Few seconds later, I’m tied up helplessly to a support beam.
Smiths walks by to check on me.
Everyone else checking their surroundings. Nothing but lush green forest in one direction, and a desert opposite the forest.
“What the hell happened, exactly???” asked ninja guardian.
“Electrical system’s fried, may have been a roaming EMP. We were lucky enough to all have survived.” Responded Jira.
“Well at least we’re OK,” says Kaira.
Back inside the ship, Jira stumbles upon me, wulf ninja warrior.
Smiths walks in and says. “there were two of them, both escaped from the prison on Planet Searia. They’re very dangerous.”
“so what do we do? Just keep him chained up?”
Not so much on that account at least until we find the other.
“how dangerous can they be?”
“Killed 500 Gaian soldiers. Not a bit of regret.”
Meanwhile, in another part of the broken ship.
This Russian guy digs up his Duffle bag with all his belongings, mostly wine imported from France and Spain.
“This all you have to drink? Wine?”
“Imported wine. From Spain & France. Very expensive. I am gonna need a receipt for this.”
“Jira points to the wise man with her flashlight. “I supposed this won’t be able to help you at all, will it?”
“I am a child of light, I only cleanse my body with either water or ocean spray® cranberry juice.”
“You have any here in the cargo bay?” asked smiths.
“I must’ve left it back at the port.”
“Then you do realize there’s no water around?”
“There would be no forest if there were no water….”
“Fine. More for me.”
Back inside the cockpit…
I prepare to make my great escape, pull out this canister of be-gone spray, which unfortunately had only a drop left. I sprayed it on the chains, the spot it touched disappeared like magic. I pulled away from the beam, threw the can away, took off my blindfold, and made a run for it.
Smiths comes back to check on me, and I’m gone. He rushes outside and sees my restraints towards the desert wasteland part of the area.
He looks around, then stamps his feet in anger.
Few minutes after back at the ship, he gets his guns, knives nightstick and any other weapons he might need.
The Russian guy gathers the swords from his collection and stocks up….
Month 1
“We need to get going before nightfall if we’re to find water,” says the wise man.
“He’s right, besides that’s also Wulf and Jodan’s directions.”
“Smiths, I thought you found the chains towards sunset?”
“That’s just to throw us off, he went towards sunrise.”
“Alright, let’s get moving!”
They walk along through the lush green forest. Various creatures surrounded the areas the sun shining bright through the trees, giving the place a unique glow.
Smiths hears a twig snap, aims his rifle and runs in that direction. The rest follow after. Smiths climbs to the top of a tree, hopping from branch to branch and finds no trace of me or Jodan.
Of course, Angelpetal spotted me and said nothing about my whereabouts and rushes over to me inconspicuously. “Wulf?” she whispered. “Wulf, it’s me Angelpetal. I’m alone.”
“I know,” I whispered secretively. “you shouldn’t have followed me onto the ship.”
“Why not, snookiepuss?”
“You’re in a lot of danger, and it’ll be much worse if my other half finds.” “I love you too much to let anything happen to you.” I then give her a kiss on the lips.
“don’t worry. We’ll find that b*****d and clear your name. everyone will know your……”
“Petal!!?? Are you there?” exclaimed Jira.
“Gotta go. Stay out of sight.”
“Ok,” I respond.
“What are you crazy?! You can’t just go off and explore by yourself like that. Wulf ninja could’ve snatched you up like that.”
“I just needed some alone time.” Sobbed Petal.
“It’s ok. Just be careful. This guy’s dangerous.”
“You don’t know him, he wouldn’t hurt anybody!!!”
“How much do you know about him anyways????”
“Lots. he’s my boyfriend,” Angel said heatedly.
Smiths walks off further ahead, and the other continue to follow.
A few hours later.
The sun’s about to set, and the insects all go back to their nests to sleep.
The wise man and his sons set up the tents, while Smiths goes on one last search and capture.
One of the free-settlers started to get bored and began to dig for gold in a nearby hole. After the first ten strikes, he uncovers a cave. He commences making the tunnel wider, then crawls inside to see what’s living inside. All of a sudden, something grabbed hold of him.
I had the habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, the man’s girlfriend dashes over and looks inside the cave, blood stained the cave walls. She yells out the word “no” at the top of her lungs in agony, looks up at me. I turn around and begin to run, after I get about three yards away, Smiths knocks me out with the butt of his rifle.
Next thing I knew. I was chained up inside one of the tents.
“Ok, let’s get this out of the way, plain and simple. What you do with the body??” asked Jira, infuriated.
I didn’t answer.
“Well, what about the sounds?”
I still didn’t answer.
“You told Smiths you heard noises from within the cave. Wanna explain that?”
Again, I didn’t answer.
“Fine, don’t say anything. But just for your info, there’s a majority vote about leaving you here to your death.” She walks away.
“You mean the whispering….?” I say.
She stops where she stood and turns around. “what whispering?”
“the whispering that’s gnawing away at your every nerve. Driving you mad like Edgar Allen Poe in the poem “nevermore”. Eating away at you conscious until you just can’t take anymore and you….”
“Shock me with the truth?”
“You all think I’m the killer. You all fear me because of what your mind believes is true…”
“Wulf!!!!!” exclaimed Angelpetal. “Didn’t I say stay out of sight?! You just couldn’t help it, could you?”
“Not now, Angel dearest.”
“If you wanna be proven innocent, you let me try. Try to help you.”
“I said. Not now Angel dearest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Do as he says…”
Angel stands there defiantly.
“Do as you boyfriend says, and leave!”
As she walks away, “Just so you know…. I’m the only one here who loves you.” She completely walks out of the ship.
“You see why I love her?? Drives me wild.”
“You sly dog, you,” Jira says in a monotone influence.
“On both accounts, you have the wrong guy. I didn’t kill anyone and I did not kill that man.”
“Well, he’s not in the cave, already checked.”
“Then explore deeper inside. Bad choice of word.”
On the way to the cave spot…..
“You actually believe the ********? He probably stashed the body somewhere in the forest, and makes up that lie just to get you to believe him….”
“You know what, believe what you wanna ********’ believe. Just don’t get all knife happy when the weight of ur survival falls on your hands due to your beliefs.”
“WTF are you talking about, Jira?” asked Smiths. “I’m just saying, that you keep believing this b*****d child, then you’ll start letting your guard down and…” Smiths gives the you’re dead hand gesture. “He’ll kill you like some poor animal being killed for his dinner.”
“Just STFU for one second and let me do the sleuthing, alright?”
They arrive at the cave. Jira secures a cable around her waist, reaches back for the light, and crawls towards the cave entrance. It gets darker and darker with each step further.
She turns on the flashlight and recklessly looks around. Looking left and right then straight ahead she saw nothing. A few feet ahead she sees a large scratching post. At the foot of it, was a foot with blood trickling down from the ankle area. She hears growling coming from the darkness.
Blood drops from the ceiling, as Jira looks up, she sees this rock like jaguar thing with tiger stripes looking down at where she stood, she screamed softly.
The beast just hanging from the ceiling. She wonders why it isn’t attacking.
What she didn’t know, was that these things are color-blind it can still see her a tiny bit.
She turns around, and it leaves it current spot, she looks up, then the same beast rushes by her and with one flick of its three tails it knocks her flashlight out of her hand, then a strange sound like monkeys screeching emanates from its tails.
Jira attempts to go back out the entrance to the cave, but notices one of the monsters rush by the door from the right side to the left.
She then sees another light coming from the ceiling and climbs up to it. The rope starts to restrain her, and she pulls it to her, climbs to the top of the exit. Starts pounding on the wall until she makes a hold in the wall, then she finds out that she’s inside the trunk of a tree.
She screams help at the top of her lungs. “I’m inside the tree trunk!”
One of the animals tugs on the rope and pulls her down a few inches, she regains a grip on the wall and climbs upward, repeating her sentence again. The monsters continue tugging on the rope, and she tugs back.
Just in the nick of time, one of the Free settlers breaks through the tree trunk with a crowbar, and the others immediately pull her out.
“I dunno what the ******** is in there, but it got that one guy and almost had me for lunch.”
They pull her back in she stops at the hole in the tree and yells get’em off me five times before Smiths cuts her free.
The monsters rush at the rope in the darkness, not knowing that there there’s no one attached to it.
Back at the tent.
“So there really is something else worse than me out there?” I said.
“So here’s the scoop. You work for me without chains, and do whatever I say whenever I say it.”
“Why? Just for you chain me up again and haul my a** off to Prison?! You ********’ have the wrong guy!”
“the truth is… you’ve become quite a handful, you and your opposite. Nearly got a headache from your escape attempt.”
“So, you’re gonna cut me loose, is that correct?”
“Thinking you could’ve died in a rogue fire.”
“I recommend you either find my opposite or do me, because don’t get the idea in that thick skull that I wouldn’t use your head as my spittoon, ******** you.”
“Send to my doom, a*****e. That’s what I would do to you….”
Smiths reaches for his gun like lightning, aims it, and shoots. I move my head and he misses.
In attempt to hit me, he shot my chains and set me free. “Remember how this moment in time could’ve gone……”
Back at the crashed ship, we gather the power-cells after receiving a distress signal, everyone else gathered up their things, and we headed out on a journey.
Month 1. two days later
The free settlers carried the cells and the other necessities. As we walked through the forest, we stopped occasionally to see the sites, there were spectacularly odd creatures
Strawberry dragonflies fluttering in the breeze, a colony of rice ants climbing a tall maple tree, filled with applebee nests.
“It’s a whole forest of animal/food crossbreeds.”
I climb the tree, and snag a few apple-bees. Enough for everyone including myself. “Breakfast is served,” I say in a stern tone like a personal butler.
We walk along, I, myself, being in front of Smiths. I unknowingly dropped my Sample of G-corp G-virus, and Smiths picks it up inconspicuously.
We come to a a large canyon in the forest as we walked through, Jira cautions us to stay together.
We reached a fork in the pathway, we kept going straight then all of a sudden, the ground shook and some of the rock began to crack. Angelpetal was right in the way, I leaped at her pushed both her and myself out of harm’s way. It became difficult to climb over. The others called out to us. “Petal? Wulf?! Are you guys still there?”
“We’re fine!! We can’t climb back over,” I responded.
“Neither can we,” the wise man responded.
“Wulf! Just keeping forging ahead and we’ll meet up later!” exclaimed Jira.
“Sure, Whatever!”
We continue onward. A few hours later, we emerge from the canyon. Petal hears a sound coming from the thicket of shrubs beside us. “What was that?” she said fearfully as she looked left and right.
“Probably was one of the insects” I calmly respond.
“Too big to be an insect…” she whispered.
A few miles ahead we were attacked by this giant cheeseburger with two half diagonal moon eyes, long square-like stubby legs, and a mayonnaise colored horn on it’s nose.
“Don’t run until I say….”
The rhino prepares to charge
(liberate by disturbed fades into play)
It dashes at us horn pointed out.
“RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I screamed. We jot off in the same direction it was going.
We dodged past trees, jump over embedded rocks but the rhino kept on coming…
“Whadda we do now?”
“I dunno.”
50 yards ahead we come across a big tree, thicker than anyone we’ve seen in the forest.
We come within 5 feet range of the tree, and I shout out “Split up!”
I went right, Angel went Left, the rhino then blindly bashed into the tree, a heavy branch broke off and landed on it’s head and made it see stars.
(song fades out)
Petal and I start getting hungry, so we eat the cheeseburger rhino. We feasted upon the rhino until sunset.
Angelpetal groans, “I can’t eat another bite.”
“Go on and rest up, you need your energy, honey.”
“Gimme a kiss, snookums,” she said puckering up her lips.
I caress her head in my hands stare into her beautiful blue eyes, and land a big wet one on those luscious lips of hers. “I love, sugarbear.”
“Me too, my little lamb chop.” She says before she yawned and fell asleep.
Meanwhile…. Smiths, Jira and the others set up camp just as we did. The others sat by a campfire, saying prayers while Jira, Smiths, the elder woman I her late 20’s, and ninja guardian set up the tent.
They stood back to see if they set the tent up right, and ninja guardian accidentally stepped on something, lifted his foot and looked down what he saw was a yellows brown line on the ground, he peeled it off the dirt and saw it was a French fry with six legs.
“What is that thing?” asked the woman.
“It looks like a…. French fry??” said Smiths, perplexed.
“Look there’s more. And look, there’s some shaped like raw potatoes.”
Next, a bell pepper spider landed on one of the wise man’s son’s head, thirdly, a swarm of strawberry dragonflies flew in.
Wulf’s opposite watches from the shadows of the treetops.
Scene fades to black. Next scene is early in the morning after everyone emerged from the tents to greet the day.
They pushed onward towards their destination, after packing up, still no sign of Wulf and/or his girlfriend. Smiths, Jira and the others pushed onward.
Meanwhile…. Onto Petal and I. We’re moving onward as well. We stroll through the forest holding hands, both of us getting the feeling that we’re being watched, but remaining calm so the other won’t worry.
The shadow figure that was following us was hiding in the tops of the tree looking down when stopping at every branch.
I hand Angelpetal my blade, “darling. You go on ahead, I’ll be along in a little bit.”
The shadow figure lands softly behind me a few feet away, and begins following me.
“‘Bout time you showed, Jodan. Was worrying if you’d desert me again.”
I turn around and confront him.
“I did you a favor, Wulf. You wanted a calling card and I gave you one. You should be calling me godfather, since I’m giving you what you wish for.”
“I’ll call you an a**, since you left me holding the bodies.”
“Such language, Wulf.” Jodan said unsheathing his swords.
I pull out a smokescreen bomb, throw it to the ground, and as it detonates, I pull out my flame swords, and rush at Jodan. He recovers from the smoke and blocks, performs a sweep maneuver, and quickly switch from that to a spinning uppercut style kick and gets me right in the chin. I topple over faster than the tower of Pisa during an earthquake.
Jodan jumps 5 feet in the air, towards me with his sword pointing down upon landing. I roll over, spinning side kick him between the eyes. While he lied there wounded I kneeled down and held him at knife point.
From out of nowhere, a cheeseburger rhino tackled us. I went flying in the northeast direction, wile Jodan went in the northwest direction.
We peeled off the tree, fell on our faces and got up, we unsheathe our swords and prepare to fight.
(breaking me down by soil fades into play).
The rhino charged and we front flipped over it. The rhino drifts to the right, turns around and comes charging again, we stick our swords into the ground and spin around counter-clockwise kicking it in the nose. It shook off the hit and came charging again. We put away our swords, hold up our Chyaku scarves like a matador does in a bull fight, we stood back then let the rhino come at us again, we pulled the scarves to the side and the rhino charged into a big tree. We ran to the opposite side of the clearing, and as the rhino came running again, an unknown gunshot came from behind us and took the rhino out faster a baseball to the noggin.
We look around and find Smiths high up in a tree
(song fades out)
Smiths and the others swing down to the ground floor and regroup with us.
“Jodan. Good of you to show your face again…..” Smiths says.
“Good of you to use something beside that p***y magnum you used back on Cellgos.”
“It’s been with me for as long as I remember. You’re under arrest. The both of you.” Smiths says, putting away the shotgun and holding up two killer7 magnums each pointing at our heads.
The trees start shaking. Earthquake? I think not.
“Do you really think now is the time to do this….?” I asked.
“He’s right. The others ones like that one might be along shortly. We need to keep moving,” said Jira.
