Chapter 1- Play the Game (Queen)
A/N – ok, this fic got deleted a while ago so I'm putting it back up, this time in the WWRY section so there wont be any more confusion. Plus, new chapters!
Disclaimer - Just like everyone else on this site, I own nothing recognisable. The game in this chapter is taken from M. Night Shyamalan's The Village.
This is the story of Ryan Archer. He was your average GaGa Kid, no different to all the others who lived on Planet Mall. Here you will find out how it only takes one look from someone to change your life forever.
It was just after school had finished, Ryan and all the Zone boys were going to catch a hover bus home then go out again.
"So where exactly are we going" Ryan asked as they all moved to the back of the bus.
"Can't tell ya here mate" Thomas said looking back at him "sorry but if we told you, everyone would want to go" he added with a sly smile.
After getting home and telling his parents he was going out, Ryan went to meet all the others on the corner of his street where they had told him to. All the boys from the Boy-Zone were there. "Come on Ryan hurry up" Charlie called over to him so Ryan ran the last few feet.
"Right, now that you're here we can get going" Matt said
"Get going where?" Ryan asked, still confused.
"Well you wanted to be in the Boy-Zone right?" Thomas asked, then without even waiting for an answer he said "well, we're taking you to your initiation".
After a while of walking Ryan realised how far past the city they were going "um guys don't you think we're going the wrong way or something? All that's out here is wasteland" all the others stayed silent except for the light sniggers that came after he had spoke. Sure enough they soon arrived at the fence blocking them from the wasteland.
"Ok Ryan, now it's time for your initiation into the Boy-Zone" Charlie said standing in front of him.
"What do I have to do?" he asked curious as to what his "initiation" had to do with where they were.
"Just stand on the other side of that fence" he pointed to a gap in it not to far from them.
"Is that it?" Ryan said, looking at where Charlie had pointed but then Peter stepped up.
""Is that is?" he says, tell him the rest Charlie" Peter said, smirking.
"Well you see not only do you have to stand over there but you have to face us, with your back to the wasteland. Still not impressed eh? Well that wasteland is filled with rebels, rebels that hate everything that is GaGa, and there's a very big chance that one could come up and just…" he made a cutting motion across his throat. "So, what are you waiting for?" Convinced that all the rumours about rebels were exactly that, Ryan stepped through the fence and stood with his back to the wasteland, facing the Zone boys.
Every now and then one of the boys would try and make Ryan think that there was someone behind him but that stopped working after the first time. "Alright mate you can come back now" Peter shouted, looking at his watch.
Climbing back through the fence, Ryan said "so, how did I do?"
"Brilliant, you didn't even fall for any of Matt's tricks" Charlie said then added "so boys, looks like we've got a new member" he smiled at Ryan who smiled back.
"We better get going Charlie, it's getting late" Matt said.
"Alright, well Ryan we've gotta go. Don't stick around here too long" Charlie said then they all ran off, leaving Ryan on his own. Deciding to stay for a while, Ryan went over to where no-one would be able to see him and sat down, looking out into the wasteland. "Why is it, that this place seems so much more peaceful than the city?" he thought to himself. Standing up Ryan suddenly felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end, as if he was being watched. Ryan looked around but no-one was there, unless… he turned back to the wasteland and sure enough he could see someone down there, a girl.
