Streets 2

[freezer7]

Wait? You want more? O.o


I stared up at The Man. He was thoughtful. Probably debating whether or not to kill me. I'd taunted him to do it, to kill me.

"So, to kill or not to kill..." I mocked. This earned another knock to the head.

"Shut up Etho!" The Man growled. I wondered how he knew my name.

"What's your name?" I put on my best snarl.

"Nebris. I'm not going to kill you. But don't run, it's useless."The newly named Nebris answered. It was the first question he had actually answered. The name reminded me of a dream I'd had.

****************
"Idiot! He didn't sign it!" I'd yelled. Etho just shrugged. And then I stole his mask. He narrowed his eyes and jumped on me. We were the only ones that could really hurt each other, or so it seemed. I had tried (and failed) batting him away. In the end we were all tangled up on the floor with Etho re-tying his mask. The day continued and preparations were made. We entered the office and headed up. Aurey had been in the elevator. The perfect chance. Etho grabbed her from behind while I pointed the gun. A knife was stuck in his stomach. It was as simple as that. I rushed forward and shot the girl. I dropped down. Etho was still falling down. It had all happened in less than a second. I caught him. His breathing became shallow and fast until he didn't breath at all.
*****************

It was odd because it was looking at it from 'Nebris' point of view. I felt sad about the dream. But I was king of the streets! Nothing held me back! I was freedom it's self! Nebris slowly shifted off me. I knew it was useless, but I tried to bolt.

"I thought I told you!" The Man growled before slinging me over his shoulder like I weighed a penny's worth. I fought but soon gave up.

"You did. Now please put me down so I won't start screaming my head off."

"Ok, I'll give you one more chance. If you don't obey this time you'll be unconscious!" He warned. I did as told. Trotting by his side he asked,"Do you remember me, Etho?" I shook my head, no. He looked crestfallen.

"We used do missions together, for money. We were genetically enhanced. I, I want to show you something. Ten years ago, you called me. For an 'easy' money job. You died on the job. And you used to wear this mask." He held up a tattered cloth that could pass for a mask.

"I know. I've , erm, had a dream about it. But that was me? I don't have a hurt eye!" I argued. But I hoped beyond hope he was right. Something about him repelled and attracted me. I could feel the easy companionship between us.

"It is you, I know you're there Etho!" Nebris stopped and stared at me but not at me. At a older me that killed for a living.

"I'll remember, I promise. But you wanted to show me something?" I prompted.

"I wanted to turn you, turn you special."


There! That's a better ending!

[freezer7]

But? This was a perfect ending! I suppose I could write more...

[chemrepnacl]

IT'S NOT I NEED MORE INFO ON GENETIC ENHANCEMENTS SCIFI FTW

[thezombineer]

Boy. You seem to like this fic. You need help, there, or are you content with exploding?

[thezombineer]

This just seems like more cliffhanger. To me. Maybe that's good sometimes, but not this time :D

[freezer7]

I guess...

[chemrepnacl]

I really enjoy this sort of themes xD

[chemrepnacl]

WTF GUESS?!?! rages and explodes

[thezombineer]

So you're good with exploding then? Alright. Have fun.

[chemrepnacl]

Salt explodes. World goes up in smoke.

[thezombineer]

*zombi is left floating in space*
"Hey, Seven, could you come pick me up?"

[r7]

Sure. Coordinates? I'm currently back at mentek... and, er.... I kinda kind find earth anymore.... I was using it as a lock-on....

[r7]

Oh, yay, more! This is a good way to end the chapter, but I don't think it really feels like an ending to the story IT can be if you want it to, though.

[thezombineer]

Um..
X = -73908
Y = 482747
Z = -1

[r7]

Thanks. Arriving as soon as possible.

[thezombineer]

No, thank YOU. Salt blew up the planet.

[r7]

Oh, so that's why I cant get a lock.... Do you want me to fix it? I have a backup saved in another dimension.

[thezombineer]

Well, I sort of like Earth, so that'd be nice.

I think this just became Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

[r7]

It might be..... Shame I haven't read that. It was a bit too insane, you know?

[thezombineer]

Insanity is AWESOME.

[r7]

Insanity is ILLOGICAL.

[thezombineer]

Which is why it's fun :D

[r7]

Is that what humans consider fun? Odd.

[thezombineer]

Sometimes, yes. :)

[clashofdemonesense]

I am insane Seven, so am I odd?

...

Of course I am. Why did I ask?
