Chapter 1: Enter Alexander

Just wanna say, I do not own CL or Cartoon Network,

All rights go to moonscoop, etc, disclaimer crap…

And now for the story…

Red Sky…

* * *

Blazing infernos and wreckage as far as the eye could see…

* * *

Large crab-like abominations walking in straight lines through the ruined post-apocalyptic landscape, searching for survivors lurking in the shadows…

* * *

The barren sun magnified by the glassy black smoke sealing off the rest of the atmosphere from the surface, watching over the destruction like an all-seeing light…

a light…

a light…

light…

wait, what?

Light?...

What's that light?!...

Alexander Jonathan Stern woke up in a strange place. He seemed to be in a frozen canister of some sort, with a glass panel (covered with icy frost) that allowed him a pleasant view of the lamp hanging from the ceiling of the weird room he was in. That seemed to be the weird light in the sky in his nightmares. He had woken up from a nightmare in which he saw a barren, desolate ruined landscape, with weird biomechanical monsters roaming across it. The horrid thought made him shiver. He decided to get back to the matter of where he seemed to be. He could not remember a single thing of what happened up until now. He wanted to know more about this. He could just about move his head around to look at the room, but his other arms and legs felt unable to move. As if reading his mind, the temperature in the canister dropped gradually, allowing the other parts of his body to move, and the front panel opened, allowing him to leave the weird container. He stepped out and looked around, unaware that a strange robotic creature was lurking in the dark corner, watching his every move. Suddenly, the monster jumped out, and attacked him. "Aah!" he screamed. "What the hell is that thing!?" The creature, which seemed to have a large head with a strange symbol on it, like an upside-down eye, flashed some sort of laser device, and Alexander had to jump out of the way to avoid being vaporized as the monster opened fire. Then, he noticed a .45 handgun sitting on a table near the cryogenic canister, with a note on it: "Use this wisely," with a signature under it: "Ulrich". He still could not remember anything, so the name did not ring any bells. He still picked it up, though. He took aim, and instinctively fired at the middle of the insignia on its head. The cyborgish monster, whatever it was, exploded on impact. He then proceeded to the stairway, which seemed to lead up. There was a door on the top, which probably led somewhere that Alexander did not know. He then turned the doorknob, and then walked out. He gasped at the landscape that fell upon his eyes…
