Renaissance Hotel Downtown Dallas
We had reserved one of the ball rooms for the Military ball we do in JROTC. We were on the 23rd floor of the Renaissance hotel. Most of the senior members, including me (around 10 in total), were tasked with setting up the Military ball. From setting the tables, all the way to decorating the hall a certain theme. We felt the building move, but we dismissed it as no alarm, of any kind, went off. Until the floor above us, almost came down on half of the ballroom. I yelled "Shit!"
The floor was falling apart and we ran out of the ballroom to the stairs. I was behind the others as I helped anyone who fell and yelled "GO!" The floor cracked in front of me and another person, creating a huge gap.
"Sorry for this," I told her as I lifted her and threw her to my friend across the gap. I walked back a bit and then ran as fast as I could to the gap and jumped. I only hit my head on the floor and fell one floor down and held on. I felt fuzzy while holding on to whatever I could to avoid falling down to my death. "A little help over here," I called out while struggling to pull myself up. 'Great, I have a concussion I bet,' I thought as I was feeling hazier.
"Okay, we be there in a bit. Just hold on," A friend told me from the floor above me.
"Easier said than done," I yelled back as I started to lose my grip. My friend busted threw the door, as if it was locked, with a shoulder charge and ran to me. I lost strength in my arms before he could grab me. My sight was fuzzy, and I fell thinking 'Just my fucking luck,' then passed out.
Location unknown, unknown time
"Ah, you're awake. Good," someone said, the voice was hard to identify as a male or female.
"Wha… where am I," I asked the person as I looked around, only to find nothing but white space. Then I saw the being in front of me, a featureless body that looked like me and it only showed his mouth. On instinct I yelled "Truth!"
"You've heard of me," It asked, but my brain was thinking of hundreds of scenarios, both good and bad. Suddenly it laughed and told me "You have some funny thoughts kid."
'Of course he can read my thoughts,' I said to myself. All is one and one is all, and equivalent exchange was its domain. "Why am I here," I asked.
"Well that's simple. You weren't given your reward. Helping those kids up and saving the girl. You saved them," it told me. "Yes they would have died if it weren't for you," it said smiling as I thought out my question.
"Okay, so what are you going to give me another chance, powers, another chance in a different universe, or just a toaster," I asked and ended in sarcasm.
"Let's see, you saved six lives so you get six wishes," it stated "but you can't be revived back to your old body or wish for immortality or invulnerability."
"Okay, let me think," I said as I was thinking. "I want a pip-boy," Truth then extended his hand to show I had five wishes left. "Greed's ability, any and all energy based weapons from halo universe and fallout universe," I said and he dropped three fingers. "No carry weight limit on the pip-boy and to be revived in a different universe," I ended the wishing as Truth smiled at me.
"I knew you were going to save the best for last," he informed me. "And I know just the universe to put you in." When he finished, I felt sleepy and blacked out as I heard him laughing.
In a Forest
I woke up to find myself in a forest. 'Red leaves, so it must be autumn here," I thought. There were sudden movement around me. Paranoid I took out one of the weapons from my new pip-boy on my left hand. I took out a boltshot from halo. Raising it to my eye level and a black animal came out of a bush from my left. In fear I shot it three times. Not bad of a recoil since I aimed for its mid-section and all three shots hit five inches apart. "Well this is going to be fun," I said to myself. A few more animals jumped out of the same bush, all eyes were on me. I ran the opposite way and fired randomly behind me in hope to wound them.
I stopped to catch my breath on a hill. I saw a village, or town, not too far from my location. Once I wasn't painting I continued to run for the village.
I arrived and found it decently fortified. Wood walls, sniper perch, look-out tower, and a few guards. "Hold it right there," One of the guards yelled out to me.
I walked to the gate with my hands up and said "Don't shoot, I don't want any trouble."
"Well that's for us to find out," Another guard yelled at me.
'Great, no I feel like I'm a main character in a game,' I thought as I was standing there like an idiot. Suddenly five of the black animals jumped out of the forest.
"Shit! Beowolfs," The first guard yelled as he fumbled for his weapon that was strapped on his back.
My thoughts of the guard were that they must be untrained. I materialized the suppressor and fired it at the five. I took out three of them, but then the clip was dry. 'Shit,' I mentally yelled as I started to reload the suppressor. The two guards took out the other two animals, now named Beowolfs. "Get inside before more show up," The second guard told me. I nodded and hurried inside.
AN: For those who don't know what greed's ability I'm talking about. It is the ultimate shield, which means I can rearrange the carbon in my body to make my skin as hard as diamond, thus making myself almost impossible to injure by normal means
The weapons if any one doesn't know them are as followed:
Halo weapons
Spartan Laser: Laser that needs time to charge up, and can go thru heavy armored tanks. One shot per charge. Can be fired 4 times.
Halo's Plasma Rifle: can fire 360 to 540 rounds per minute, semi-automatic and full semi-automatic and full automatic fire but over-extended periods of firing can overheat the weapon, causing it to become unusable for a short period of time.
Halo's Plasma Pistol: semi-automatic weapon, has the ability to charge a single superheated bolt which temporarily disable mechanics. Prolonged periods of fire will overheat the weapon.
Particle Beam Rifle: particle acceleration offers the distinct advantage of superior penetration, as the beam will always pass through a target completely, even though cover. 20 Shots per 100% battery.
Plasma Repeater: 900 RPM (cool) to 180 RPM (hot). Each shot is 0.5% of the battery, making a total of 200 shots possible.
Gravity Hammer: could kill an opponent with a single swing. Can produce gravity shockwave. 100% Battery.
Energy Dagger: single point about 2 feet in length. Wrist mounted weapon.
Energy Sword: 4 Ft in length100% Battery
Plasma Cannon: manned automatic plasma turret. Unlimited ammo or 200 shots if not placed as a placed turret.
Suppressor: fires bolts of charged hard light that pierce and destroy any organic material. Is automatic.
Scattershot: can kill in one shot at point-blank range, can ricochet off of walls. 5 shot magazine
Boltshot: two firing modes: standard and a charged burst. Charged burst is instant kill. 10 rounds magazine
LightRifle: fires three-"round" bursts from the hip. When scoped, it shoots a single and focused hard light beam. Both of these firing modes use the same amount of ammunition, but the focused beam is more powerful. Magazine Size 36 rounds.
Binary Rifle: employs two core-mounted particle accelerators to propel a round with unparalleled stopping power that can bring down distant foes with one shot. When the round impacts an enemy, it causes them to disintegrate also has two zoom modes (5x and 10x) to fulfill its purpose as a long range precision rifle.
Incineration Cannon: fires five streams of explosive particles in a tight spread which release in four different directions upon detonation. The explosive particles then detonate again individually, increasing the effective radius of the initial explosion. 100 battery units (10 bursts, 4 charge shots). Burst-fire (two rounds), Charge Shot Firing modes.
Sentinel Beam: is capable of effectively cutting through organic matter, but it can temporarily overheat if 20% of the battery is used up in one continuous shot.100% Battery, Continuous fire mode only.
Fallout weapons
Gatling laser: achieves a high DPS by firing multiple low powered lasers at an incredibly fast rate, about 1800 rpm, consumes ammunition at an equally incredible rate, depleting a full battery of 240 electron charge packs in just 8 seconds. 240 Shots before reloading. Electron charge pack ammo type.
Gauss rifle: device used to propel a ferromagnetic projectile by accelerating it through a process of magnet induction, requirements of five microfusion cells per shot. Microfusion cells ammo type.
Laser pistol: Ha a generous battery size, tight shot grouping at range, resilience to extended use, and fairly decent damage output. 30shots before reloading. Energy cell ammo type.
Laser rifle: Power is drawn from microfusion cells and processed through a wave/particle diverter. 24 shots before reloading. Microfusion cells ammo type.
Tesla cannon: designed to be used as a lightweight, compact anti-tank weapon, the cannon projects a blast that will damage the enemy on impact, it will continue to gradually reduce the enemy's health due to its ability to electrify the target and surrounding. 4 shots before reloading. Electron charge pack ammo type.
Recharger rifle: first version of a self-charging weapon with effectively limitless ammunition, but suffers from a limited power capacity and low effectiveness of the built-in microfusion breeder. Meaning microfusion breeder recharges at about one round every second, meaning a fully discharged rifle takes 7 seconds to recharge. 7 shots before recharging. Microfusion breeder ammo type.
Recharger pistol: second version of a self-charging weapon with effectively limitless ammunition, fitted with a microfusion breeder that provides it a virtually limitless power supply, capped at 20 shots. Recharging time takes 1 second to recharge 1 shot and a fully discharged recharger pistol takes 20 seconds to fully charge. 20 shots before recharging. Microfusion breeder ammo type.
Is this over-kill? Maybe but The main character will not know how to use the ultimate shield ability yet. Don't know what to name this guy yet so I'll call him Prophet for now.
