What I've Done
By Windragon195
Chapter 1 -
Time itself continued to tick slowly on the clock; as I stood there quietly thinking of how to plan my next move. The hallways were so quiet; you could hear the gentle breezes blow through your hair. I gulped. I was nervous, hoping that I wouldn't cause any mistakes that would ruin my plans for everything. I waited a minute and began to relax. I then lifted my hand slowly against the cold, metal door. I gave a quick knock then waited for an answer.
The door quickly flew open and Six stood there with his usual, emotionless face and his green suit. He looked down at me waiting for me to speak. I took another deep breath and began to speak, but I was sadly unable to say a word.
"No." Six said, cutting me off before I was able to say anything.
"What! But I haven't even asked my question yet!"
Six knew me to well. He knew what I was going to ask and he already knew he was going to turn me down. He was already two steps ahead of me.
"All I was going to ask was if I could go to the movies with Noah. He just got these tickets to this really cool movie that I've wanted to see for a long time and-"
"No."
"Come on!" I was pretty upset about the whole situation. My plans already went downhill. I felt like I was kneeling before him, pleading to leave Providence.
"It's already 11 pm and you have training to do in the morning."
"I don't need to do training all the time. Plus I'll be back around 1…that's not that late."
"The answer is still no. You still have to learn how to control your new abilities as well as the training."
I let out a heavy sigh. I tried and failed to convince Six to let me go to the movies. I started to groan then began walking back to my room. Ever since I learned of my new abilities, Six, Holiday, and the rest of Providence has had me locked up because they feared that I wouldn't be able to control them in the real world. My phone then suddenly went off, "Noah?"
"Rex? Where are you? The movie starts in 20 minutes!" His voice sounded like he was in panic and excited at the same time, waiting for me to show up.
I looked down the hall to see if anyone was there. I saw Six and waited until he was out of sight. I lifted up my cell phone and spoke, "I'll be there in ten minutes." I whispered.
"Well you better hurry or we'll never get good seats!"
The call ended. I slid my cell phone into my pocket and I began to run through the hallways to the nearest exit as quietly as possible. I stopped at each corner, making sure Six nor Holiday were around. I double checked, and then quickly made my way through the white halls of Providence.
"Where do you think you're goin'?"
I turned around and saw Bobo glaring at me through his one eye, "I'll be back later tonight…can you please cover for me," I pleaded.
He looked down the hallway behind me and then looked behind himself, "Fine, but you owe me a pizza when you get back."
"Thanks Bobo." I gave the chimpanzee a smile and made my way through the hallway until I made it to the exit. I reached out my hands and let my nanites do the rest. The door flew open and I was long gone. As I walked out of the base, I activated the Rex Ride and took off through the desert night.
It was always cool during the night in the desert. The wind blowing across my face always gave me the feeling of freedom, like I was let off a leash and was now running through the fields. I took a deep breath and gripped the accelerator on the handle bar. I could feel myself going faster and faster through the open desert.
I soon saw the tiny lights from a nearby city in the distance. I began to slow down by letting loose the accelerator until I was coasting through the wind. As I entered the city, I soon came to a complete stop at an intersection in the middle of the small city. I thought about changing my legs back to normal, but I feared the walk from here may take to long. I waited impatiently for the light to turn green and I only had five minutes until the movie started.
"What the-"
I turned to the my left and saw a man, looking out his car window with his jaw dropped down with a surprised look written all over his face. He was pointing at my legs that were attached to the Rex Ride, and his wife next to him reached over to him and whispered, "He must be an evo."
Ever since the destruction I did, when I almost took out half of New York, more and more people became a little bit more terrified of evos then they have in the past five years. Even though I could control my nanites, I still got glares from people when I walked down the streets.
Anyway, the woman in the car wasn't very good at whispering. I heard her pretty well, "Yeah…um…hi?" I tried waving my hand to them, trying to be polite, but once the light turned green, they were long gone. I rolled my eyes and continued making my way towards the movie theater.
As soon as I arrived, I quickly changed my legs back to normal and ran in. Noah was standing there by the doors, tapping his foot impatiently with both of our tickets in his hands.
I ran up to Noah, "Sorry Noah, it took me awhile to sneak-I mean it took me awhile to get here." I gave him a cheesy grin.
"You snuck out again didn't you?"
"What do you expect from me? Did you really want me to listen to Six or come here?"
Noah began to chuckle," I'm just glad you actually showed up or these tickets would've been a waste of money."
Noah and I walked in and looked around and walked all over the theater and the only seats open were two of them that were in the very far back.
"I guess this will have to do." Noah complained.
As soon as we sat down in our seats the movie began, but it was only advertisements and movie trailers for next year.
"Noah, we forgot to get snacks!"
"Are you kidding?"
"Nope."
"Are you sure?" Noah kept continuing on with his questions.
"You don't see me holding a bag a popcorn do you?"
Noah sighed, "Fine I'll get the snacks. When does the movie start?"
"In five minutes. Think you'll make it?"
"Totally." Noah grinned then bolted down the steps. He was practically knocking people out of the way as he made his way through the entrance in which we came through.
Three minutes went by and I was still patiently waiting for Noah. As time continued on the ground in the theater began to shake, which started to feel unnatural as if it the small earthquakes were getting closer and closer to the theater. I stood up hearing people mumbling about an earthquake or maybe an evo outside. As soon as I turned my back, a large evo like dog smashed through the movie screen barking and scaring everyone out of the theater. It had two heads with large amounts of drool running down its mouths. The evo also had primate like arms, hind legs like a dog, and three snake like tails. But what caught my attention was a strange metal collar around both of its necks. Did the evo belong to someone?
The evo turned its heads towards me and glared at me with its red, devil like eyes. Drool continued to cover the front row seats and it's large hands were crushing the seats it was standing on.
"Why, out of all nights, do you have to come here? I was about to see my movie!" I activated my Smack Hands and smashed to evos faces into a nearby wall. The dog shook both of its head and stood up from the massive impact. It began to growl quietly then quickly jumped behind me and slammed me into the wall. It then slashed at my smack hands with its long claws until one of them broke apart.
My hands quickly turned back to normal and I then activated the boogie pack. I started to tease it, hoping that it would follow me out of the theater and it did. His anger rose, which caused him to want to take a bit out of me.
The evo suddenly lowered its body to the ground and sprang up into the air, catching me, and throwing my body towards the pavement with its razor sharp teeth, "You…stupid…dog!"
I slowly stood up and regenerated my smack hands. I was already angry with it and began punching it like a punching bag with so much force. I then reached out around the creature's neck to cure it, but as soon as I touched its collar my nanites went haywire. All different forms of my powers were appearing from my body and I was no longer in control of my actions.
"What the heck it going on?" I began to panic and tried to suppress my powers, but it was useless. The machines that I could create were destroying buildings, roads, and vehicles. I felt like a puppet on strings, like someone else was controlling me. Was it my nanites again?
"What the heck are you doing!" I looked over and saw Noah with the bags of popcorn dropped beneath his feet.
"It's not me! I…can't…control…myself!"I began having a hard time speaking, but I was able to force myself to move my hand and take out the communicator from my right ear. I through it towards Noah and he quickly radio in for backup.
The evo that I was battling was panting heavily as it lied there on the sidewalk all bruised up from our battle.
My body continued destroying everything around me. I kept yelling at Noah to get out of here, but he wasn't leaving. He was trying to come up with a way to help, but it was hopeless for him.
Suddenly, my body froze. I began to feel a power inside me increasing and I felt stronger within the few seconds I stood there. When I looked over at my destructive hands, claws began to form. My heart felt like it stop for that small amount of time. "This can't be happening!"
Noah's POV
My friend was at war with himself. Even though he was destroying everything in sight, he was trying his best to stop himself.
I began to hearing footsteps from behind, and when I turned around I saw Six, Holiday, Bobo, and the newest member of Providence, a black cat like evo named Fluffy or Jeff…I'm not sure, but Rex and I are trying to come up with a cooler name.
"What's going on with Rex?" Holiday said, sounding panic.
"I'm not sure, but ever since he fought with that evo over there, he hasn't been able to control himself." I replied.
"Not again." Jeff mumbled in his usual dark voice. He soon ran up to Rex and pinned him to the ground from behind, but Rex swung one of his smack hands and ended up smashing Jeff into a nearby building.
"Sorry!" Rex yelled.
"Yeah, you better be." Jeff replied.
The evo dog, that Rex defeated, lifted its heavy body off the cold cement and ran off towards the horizon. But as soon as the evo was gone, Rex stopped with his out of control behavior. His machines fell apart and Rex lied there in the middle of the street.
We ran up to Rex and help lifted his bruised up body from the road.
"What the heck just happened?" Rex asked.
"Well, I would like to ask you the same question." Holiday replied.
"I don't know. I mean…I was fighting that evo and then I was suddenly going out of control."
"That's all?" She asked.
"Well…that evo did have a strange collar around its two heads."
"It could've been controlled by someone." I added.
"If it was controlled by someone why would they need an evo to cause destruction in a small city like this?" Holiday asked.
"I'm sorry sir, but evo number 2067 failed to accomplish its mission."
In the shadows of the room was a darkened man, who sat behind his desk with angered filled eyes. He sat there, continuing to play with his lighter with a cigarette in his mouth, "That is a problem isn't it?"
The scientist took a gulp and began to speak nervously, "I promise you. We'll achieve Providence's weapon. I will not fail you again."
"You better not fail because if you do…"
"Yes sir, I completely understand!" The scientist quickly fixed his glasses and ran out of the dark, smoke filled room
The man spun around in his chair until he was looking out onto an arena full of evos, violence, and a cheering crowd, "I'll soon have the final piece to the puzzle…just you wait."
Well, there's the first chapter for my story. Please leave a comment on what you thought of this chapter and stay tune for the next chapter.
