Like A Nightmare

Chapter 1: A Sandwich Of The Past

625 was in the kitchen one day to make a sandwich while Gantu was out to look for an experiment. He got some stuff out of the fridge. He put some peanut butter, steak, ketchup, and cheese in the sandwich before he set it down on the plate,'' Ah, a sandwich I haven't made in a long time, ever since... that day...''. 625 took a bite out of his sandwich and swallowed. He set the sandwich down before he stared at it. A sickening feeling hit his stomach, which made him feel bad. '' Not again, I don't want to think about this again,'' 625 sighed. Then he went silent as his stomach dropped like a lead ball. He stared at his sandwich, still sitting on the plate, untouched. He thought about that day when he was in Jumba's lab, when he was harassed and abused by the other experiments, just because he didn't want to do the same thing they always did.

Flashback...

625 was just created in Jumba's lab. '' Hello, 625. Velcome to my lab'', Jumba greeted,'' Can you say my name?'' 625 stared at Jumba, and blinked,'' Jumba?''

'' You are experiment 625, my greatest creation. I am Doctor Jumba Jookeeba, but call me Jumba''.

'' 625? That's what I'm called?''

'' Yes, now come. Ve have to start your training''.

'' Training?''

Jumba walked all the way to another room with 625 by his side, but not without the other experiments crowding around, looking and staring at the newest creation. A purple experiment with long droopy ears and short antennae walked up to 625,'' Hello and welcome to the lab. I'm experiment 431''. 625 waved at her shyly, without saying a word.'' Move over you other experiments! 625 is going on to the training, now move! '', Jumba shouted. 625 waddled behind Jumba. They went to another room. '' 625, I'm going to be needing you to expose your extra appendages'', Jumba said. 625 revealed his secondary arms, claws, antennae, and quills. He decided to trust Jumba because he was unsure about his surroundings. Jumba went to another room with a bulletproof glass in front of him,'' Okay 625 grab the blaster gun and shoot whatever moves in this screen''. 625 took a gun and saw a screen pop up in front of him,'' What's this doc?''

'' It's the latest in virtual technology. You're not ready for real guns yet. I'm going to time you and see how many objects you can shoot in two minutes. Remember to hit the target on the alien on the screen'', Jumba said,'' Now go!''

An alien popped out onto the screen and 625 pulled the trigger. He shot the alien on the screen. '' Good job, 625!'', Jumba rewarded. 625 smiled at the praise he got. He shot another alien. This went on until the afternoon when Jumba saw 625 sitting on the floor panting at all the training he did.'' 625, It's time to be taking break,'' Jumba said. 625 was called into the room where Jumba was in,'' What are you doing?'' '' Making something for you to eat. You worked so hard today, 625'', Jumba said. He took out a long loaf of bread and put cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, and ham into the bread and placed the other half of the bread on top. 625 made a curious look on his face,'' What's that?''

'' It's a sandwich, for you. Since you worked so hard I'm going to be giving you a big piece of it. Here''.

625 took the sandwich and took a bite out of it,'' Not bad. In fact this is pretty good.''

'' Vant another piece?''

'' Sure''.

A few minutes went by and 625 ate half of the sandwich. He was holding his stomach and moaning in pain. Jumba looked at the golden colored experiment,'' I think I gave you one piece too many of the sandwich. Are you okay, 625?''

'' Not really. MY STOMACH HURTS!'', 625 shouted. He hiccuped.

'' Ay! You're first day and your first meal, now your stomach is cramping'', Jumba chuckled,'' Maybe you should take a nap. It vill make you feel better. Come with me''.

625 continued to hold his stomach when he walked inside Jumba's room. Jumba got some blankets and put them on the floor as he made a bed for 625 to sleep in

,'' Here you go 625. You can sleep in here. Vake me up if you need anything. I'll be taking nap in my bed. Seeing you later 625.''

625 got into his makeshift bed and closed his eyes as he sighed. He slowly fell asleep.

End Flashback...

625 was rudely interrupted by a familiar voice that was on a large screen in the control room,'' Hello? Gantu? Where is my experiment!''

625 went to see what was wrong with Hamsterveil,'' What is it sir?''

'' Where is my experiment? Where's Gantu?''

'' He's out looking for the experiment sir''.

'' I'll call back later''.

'' Wait! I mean... (sigh) sir do you want to talk about anything?''

'' What! Why!''

'' No reason''.

'' Why would I want to talk to you? I'm busy. Bye''.

625 slapped his forehead,'' Why would I want to talk to him! I've lost my mind. Well I would like somebody to talk to so I could stop remembering my past. (sigh) Guess I'm alone again''.

His short ears drooped down from loneliness. He went to Gantu's room to find something to do. He let out a sigh. He had nothing to do. He saw a soda can sitting on the night table. Another thing from his past that he had. He sighed sadly as he remembered that soda can he drank back in Jumba's lab.

Flashback...

625 woke up from his short nap from his dry throat,'' Jumba''.

Jumba looked at 625,'' Vhat is it, 625?''

'' I'm thirsty. Do you have anything I could drink?''

'' Sure 625'', Jumba said,'' I'll be back''.

625 smacked his dry mouth as he waited in the bedroom.

Jumba got a soda can out of his fridge. He walked back to his bedroom,'' Here you go, 625.''

'' Thanks''. 625 opened the can and drank the fizzy contents. He crushed the can and threw it into the trash.

'' Nice shot, 625'', Jumba said.

625 burped,'' Excuse me''.

Jumba chuckled,'' Come on, 625. Ve have to go back to the training''.

625 followed Jumba.

They went to a room with a lot of weights.

625 looked in the room,'' What's this place?''

'' My veight room. I am going to train you in strength. Come, ve have a lot of training to do.''

625 was lifting weights and training his strength,'' How I'm I doing, Doc?''

'' Excellent 625!''

625 put the weight down as soon as he got praised.

Jumba looked at his watch,'' Oh! 625 come, the monster movie is on t.v. now, lets go. You'll learn a lot about destruction''.

625 followed Jumba to the t.v. room.

Jumba turned on the t.v. ,'' 625, I vant you to watch this. If you have any questions ask me after the movie''.

625 sat on the couch,'' Whatever you say, Doc''.

On the television screen there was a few aliens destroying a quiet city.

There were people screaming and panicking in the streets, running everywhere trying to avoid the spaceships abducting people. Some people were even killed in the movie, which made 625 stomach feel sick. He was scared. He was wondering what he was being trained for and now he found out why. 625 felt really sad. He trusted Jumba, but to just find out that he was being used to destroy innocent people's lives. After the movie was over Jumba entered the room, to see a sickened 625 with a lot of questions in his mind,'' Any questions, 625?''

'' Yes, why were the aliens destroying the city for?''

'' Because they vanted to.''

'' What did the people ever do to the aliens?''

'' Absolutely nothing, 625''.

'' Then why destroy a city without a reason?''

'' 625, no more questions''.

'' Doc... I trusted you. So this is why you're training me, to kill innocent people that didn't do anything? Why?''

'' 625, ve're going to train some more''.

625 followed Jumba. Jumba led 625 to a room with a model of a city, exactly like the one he saw in the movie. '' 625, I vant you to do exactly what you saw in that movie. Destroy the city and have fun''.

'' Why would I have fun destroying things for no reason?''

'' Because 625, you vere built to destroy''.

625 heart sank. He was born to destroy. He didn't want to destroy anything,'' No!

NO!''

'' 625, what's wrong? Just destroy the city''.

'' No! I don't want to kill and destroy!''

'' YOU ARE GOING TO DESTROY! THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO!''

'' Not anymore! I don't care what you do to me, I still won't destroy!''

He hid his extra appendages under his skin,'' Never again will I use my powers.''

He turned his back on Jumba,'' Humph!''

'' 625, do as you're programmed to do!''

'' No! I was getting praised for bad behavior. I shouldn't.''

Jumba got angry and grabbed 625 and threw him across the room.

625 held his head,'' My answer is still no''.

Jumba picked up 625 and put him in a container,'' Maybe staying in there overnight vill teach you.''

Jumba left the room.

625 cried to himself in the container,'' No matter how much you punish me I still will say no''.

Tears rolled down his face.

End Flashback...

625 eyes were quickly filling with tears. He quickly got a tissue and dried his face.

He went to the teleporter room and stayed there.
