Jumper: Retribution

Just for the record, I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! It all belongs to Steven Gould and the movie company who helped made the film.

This is my third fanfiction story. May not be my most exclusive yet, but it is something I want to write about.

I've wanted to do a Jumper story for a while, way back since the movie came out and when I finally read the books. I love "Jumper: Griffin's Story" and I've been waiting for the author to make a sequel to it, but since he hasn't I decided to take the liberty to make my own version.

This story is about Griffin and where he goes after his ordeal with David Rice at the end of the movie. It will go from there and focus on his journey of revenge against Roland Cox and Mary Rice for the murder of his parents. He will reunite with a certain person his past and his feelings will be put to the test. I'm still trying to get the facts right, but I'll do the best I can.

Enjoy the first chapter.

Chapter One:

The Journey Of Revenge

Griffin O'Connor was stuck in the power lines of whatever country he was in. His jumping ability couldn't work, not with the electricity running through his body. He needed to escape before his own heart gives out.

Damn him! Griffin roared to himself. Damn that David Rice! Wait till I get my hands on him...!

There was a battle going on between two armies down below him. He could see tanks and soldiers racing towards each other, fighting a war that just seemed so hopeless to just fight in.

The soldiers seemed to ignore him, not seeing him as a threat. Or maybe they were too busy fighting their enemies that they didn't even see him. For whatever reason, Griffin didn't care. He just wanted out of the power lines.

Finally, Griffin found his way out. He saw an opening above him, right through the metal and the electricity. He just might be able to fit right in.

Reaching up, Griffin pulled himself into the small opening of the power lines and started to squeeze himself right on through.

The electricity started to run inside his body more faster. He could feel his heart beating faster too.

With all of strength, Griffin threw himself forward and away from the powerlines. He landed on the ground with a loud thud and slid until he hit his head on a large rock.

Ouch! he rubbed his head.

Griffin wanted to jump back to his liar, but his body needed to heal from the electricity first. His ability could kill him if jumped now. He needed to rest.

Leaning up, Griffin sat on the rock he had bumped his head on and watched as the battle in front of him continued on.

Suddenly, there was yelling from behind him.

Griffin turned his head to see three soldiers walking towards him.

Oh boy! Here we go! Griffin was in no mood for these guys.

One of the soldiers shouted again and the other two aimed their weapons right at him.

Griffin raised his index finger and waved "no".

"Not such a good idea," he warned.

The soldier laughed and yelled something.

Griffin didn't have to know his language to figure out what he said.

Feeling recharged, Griffin jumped right behind the soldiers.

The men fired just as he jumped away. They stood there in shock, trying to figure out where he went or if they had shot him.

"Behind you, boys!" Griffin crissed-crossed his arms and laughed.

The three soldiers spun around and fired at him.

Griffin jumped and this time, he was falling right above them. Just as he was about to ram into them, he grabbed the first two guys he saw and jumped again.

Now, they were in midair, high above the Pacific Ocean. He let go of the two soldiers and pused himself away, then he jumped.

He was back in the battlefield with the last soldier, who was crapping his pants at the moment. The soldier was turning in circles, trying to figure out what happened to his pals.

"They're enjoying the view!" Griffin yelled at him. "Just not the fall!"

The soldier fired at his direction but Griffin was already jumping right behind his back. When he appeared he grabbed the soldier by the neck and held him in a headlock. A few minutes later, the soldier was unconscious and Griffin allowed him to fall to the ground.

Let him explain this to his commanders, Griffin couldn't help thinking. He jumped.

Griffin was back in his liar or the Hole as he loves to call it, cleaning up the mess from the small battle with Roland and his small army of Paladins. He was still angry with David, for leaving him like that. Right in the middle of the war and stuck in power lines that could have killed him. But David was not the main reason he was mad. Not even as close to the anger that he was harboring for Roland Cox.

Griffin wasn't always like this. Living alone, fighting Paladins, trying to stay alive, and whole jumping thing. He was once a normal kid. A normal kid with a normal family and a normal life. He loved living in Great Britain when he was little. But it was at the age of five that he finally did his first jump. His family helped him learn how to control it, even going as far as to help him train to use it. Despite his shocking discovery that he could teleport, things seemed to remain the same for him.

But then they came along. The Paladins. They came to investigate him, and his family was forced to move for America. They moved to many places before settling in San Diego, California. They remained at peace without any interference from the Paladins, but that didn't last very long either. Griffin and his father trained at the 'Empty Quarter', a place where no one could see them or his jumping ability. He was also training in karate at a local school and doing homeschooling with his mother.

It was at the age of nine that everything changed for Griffin and his family. After jumping away from a bully, the Paladins found them and broke into their apartment. Griffin's mother and father were killed. Three Paladins, including one woman, had killed his family back then. Griffin barely survived as he jumped away to the Empty Quarter and was later found by Consuelo and was taken in by him to live near the border of Mexico and the United States. He also met Alejandra and started a strong friendship with her. But after a few years, the Paladins found him again and killed Consuelo, including his wife Sam. Griffin was able to save Alejandra and sent her away to Europe so she could be safe.

Over the years, Griffin found the Hole and set up his main headquarters there, right in the middle of Nevada Desert. He even met Elaine Vera Kelseon, aka E.V., while in France and began a relationship with her. But that didn't last very long as he hoped it would. The Paladins killed her father and kidnapped her mother and brother. Griffin was able to rescue them, but his relationship with E.V. was no longer the same. He found the man responsible for E.V.'s father's death and even for his own parents, a Paladin named Kemp. But instead of killing him, he felt him to the authorities.

Even long after that, Griffin would meet up with Kemp again in France, finally killing him and avenging his own parents murder, including E.V's father. He also learned that Roland Cox and a woman named Mary Drake, were the other two people who killed his parents. He tried to find them over the next several years, but they were not like the others. They were skilled and really good at keeping themselves hidden.

Now, Griffin was living alone. He actually perferred it that way. It allowed him to go after Paladins, while at the same time not having something to lose that was important to him. He hasn't seen Alejandra or E.V. for more than eight years now. The only other person who has actually spent the most time with him was that David guy. But he was pretty sure they were offically over as friends now.

Afrer cleaning the Hole, Griffin finally settled in for the night. Allowing himself to fall asleep on his nice king-size bed.

Griffin was up at three in morning. He couldn't sleep, he had the gut feeling that he wasn't safe in his private liar anymore. It wasn't that he was paranoid or anything. It was that he learned over the years that when on the run, never stay in the same place twice. And now that Paladins had seen his hideout, it was a matter of time before they would try to find it.

I need a new hideout, Griffin said to himself.

Suddenly, Griffin had an idea. He knew what he needed to do. He knew the perfect place that would serve as his new Hole.

Without thinking, Griffin jumped.

Okay, maybe I'm starting off a little slow or too fast. I just wanted to explain things that had happened in the prequel novel so we could get a nice view of how things came to be. I don't need to say anything about the movie. Pretty sure that you all have seen it already.

Anyway, thank you for reading and I'll try to post more chapters later on.

Please review!
