Chapter 1
The Rift
I am walking away from the remains of what used to be my home (If you could call it a home) thinking about what is going to happen next. Maybe some laying low for a while? Or possibly just fleeing as fast as I can? What? You need some context? Very well. Flashback Time! (wavy flashback transition noise)
Name? Raiden. Raiden Vazquez. (sigh) No, I was not named after the Mortal Kombat character or the Metal Gear character. (If I had a nickle...) Age? 16 years, 3 months, 1 week, 5 days, 11 hours, 50 minuets, and 42 seconds, at the time of this writing. Yes I can be very precise. And before you ask, Male, 5' 6'', brown eyes with blue glasses, medium length nearly black, brown hair, species Homo Sapiens, blood type O, core temperature 2 degrees above normal due to a genetic abnormality. I don't care if you didn't need those last three; I like information. I currently reside in The United States, as a student at Bullworth Academy.
Honestly, I hate people here. They are corrupt, cruel, and just sorry excuses for human beings. I wish I could just get out of here. My thoughts during my time here have been directed mostly toward escaping this pit. I've gotten out of some tighter forms of containment with stealth and science. (EX. Burning Magnesium and Thermite* via fire-steel to cut though metal bars.) My focus was interrupted by one of the jocks hitting me in the back of the head with a football... or trying to. Instead I heard the ball moving though the air behind me and I ducked, letting the ball hit the officer in front of me.
"What th- HEY! Get back here!" The officer chased after the guys, leaving me to my own thoughts again.
"(sigh) Well.. back to work." After setting up my final "contraption" I was ready to leave. Once night fal- "Hey!"
I look up. It was the jocks that tried to throw the ball at me.
"That cop got us into a lot of trouble, and it was all because you didn't catch the ball." I stared at him blankly.
"Let me make this clear. One. I was not notified that the ball was coming toward me. Two. I ducked because I didn't know it was a ball. I just heard the air distort. And three. You threw it at the back of my head in an attempt at schadenfreude, so I feel your result was justified."
"...schaden-what?"
"(sigh) you witling"
"What did you just call me?" Or I could go now. Now works too.
"Potassium nitrate smoke bomb GO!" *PSSSHHHHHHH
"Aah! Where did that bastard go?"
I needed to do a few things before I could escape effectively. I make it to the dorms, and dived under my bed, grabbing my backpack that I had prepared for this situation. Step one complete. Now for step two. I head towards the main building and the server room. I sneak into the server room, and turn on the computer. I try to access the student files and I am asked for a password. Easy AERIS&LEO. The principal sure did have a fondness for his cats. Anyway, I get in, and delete my file, records, and history from the school computer. Step two done, and finally it's time for three. FUCK SHIT UP! Every contraption that I set up around the school was actually a sabotage device of some sort. But first I needed to get out of the building before things start exploding. Once I got far away from the main building I activated all the contraptions at the same time from my laptop.The most recent one was made to destroy the valve that controlled the water pressure in the bathrooms and the faucets are pretty old so in a few seconds... POW! The faucets popping off the sinks was music to my ears. Some devices cut off power to the school, and others made sounds exceeding 120 decibels at around 1180 Hz causing everything made of glass to shatter. But I was waiting for the best part. In the foundation of the school main building, I hid a carefully designed machine. Its one purpose... to make unholy amounts of Nitrogen Triiodide! Ooh I just felt all the chemists shudder. Nitrogen Triiodide is a contact explosive that is so sensitive that it will detonate at the touch of a feather. Literally. I watched in glory, as the main building of Bullworth Academy collapsed. I turned and left the campus, ready to begin my new life.
And here we are, back in the present currently choosing the second option as to what I will do next. RUNNING! How did they find out it was me? It's not like I left my name on th... Oh wait, I did. Why did I do that?
"Get back here you little shit!"
"Why would I listen to you?!"
"..."
Spongebob narrator: "Six minuets later..."
"Heh... they surrounded me... those poor bastards."
I reach into my backpack, pull out my trusty tonfa, and ready my stance.One of the adults in the group that was chasing me says "Hey now we don't need to resort to violence here." "You're right" I reply. "Violence may not always be the right answer..." I rush him. "But it's a pretty damn effective one!" He puts up his arms to his face in reflex. I knock them away with one tonfa, and slam the other into the side of his head, knocking him unconscious. Silence. Then they all run at me with fury in their eyes. I ready my stance again. "Challenge Accepted".
Spongebob narrator: "one and a half minuets later..."
"Well that was a nice exercise." I say, as I walk away from the pile of bruised and beaten people. Sirens are heard in the distance.
"I gotta get out of here." so I start running. I hit the groves of trees by the edge of the town. My green clothing will blend in well with the foliage. Walking through the trees, I notice a pull.
"What is that? It doesn't feel like wind." I let myself get pulled along between the trees to find the source, but I notice the pull getting stronger.
"What the heck is this? It feels like gravity!" I start to try and fight it but it's too late. I find myself falling along the ground until I see... something. I don't know what it is. It looks like a ball of heat. Like when you look at the road and you see heat waves, but in reverse, with the distortions traveling inward. I grab onto a tree and hold on for what seems like eternity, but was most likely a few seconds before my grip slips and I fall into the anomaly.
I... I don't know where I am. Just floating in a void. No, not a void. There are bubbles. Massive bubbles dotting the space. I feel an especially small one pulling on me. With nothing to hold onto I drift toward it. The bubble feels like strong wind coming from all sides as I enter it. There, floating in the center. Is that a watch? It is a metal band of some sort with a face, but no display. It looked like it was made to fit on a wrist. I reach for it and put it on.
"[calibrating]"
"What?" AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! SO MUCH PAIN! It felt like my body was being split open, rearranged and put back in the wrong places. I'm going to black... out...looks like a tree.
