This is the first chapter to what I hope will be an amazing adventure for all of you, I know it's an amazing adventure to write, though it is my first fan fiction so if you notice errors, or simply do not like it; please explain what/why, and I will do what I can to fix those errors, or just make the story better for the audience. Thanks!
"All rise for the honorable judge Matheson!"
Honorable judge, if I'm not mistaken this man still thinks it's the twenty-first century. There's a shuffle of movement around me as everybody stands up for the judge. With a sigh I stand as well. I can see him, taking his seat atop a mound of old desks, chairs and other various junk that makes up the judges perch.
"Court is now in session, I would ask that everyone please sit down," judge Matheson begins. "It's not the twenty First century any more. There's no point in bringing up old human habits."
Well at least we see eye to eye on something, there was rarely ever an agreement between us. Not since the village was raided. I still couldn't believe he actually convinced Jordan to let him take this position, don't get me wrong he's a great judge but sometimes he seems to take it a little too seriously. The court mason was speaking now, calling out a name;
"I shall repeat, Charles Wilkes!" Oh no, me, Why me? I shuffle slowly to the stand, muttering to myself. What's with the dictionary? Why do I, oh I see. I'm the first witness, but why me? I wasn't there; at least I think I wasn't Oh crap, that was the disturbance at the foot of the wall that night. That's right, there was an explosion. No no no no no, you've got it all wrong. It wasn't Captain Alex.
"Charles, I will ask once more; do you swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth?" It was the court mason again.
"Yes yes, Jonathan," am I being rude? "Sorry, I swear to tell the truth".
The night in question?
"It was a bit of a blur to be honest, can't remember much," that's what the radiation does to you when you're that high up. "You see I heard what was going on at the foot of the wall, and what happens to be the one item that slips out of my grasp as I look over the edge? My gas mask, we need new ones by the way. The men and I can't stand those pieces of crap any longer... Sorry, well that high up on the wall the radiation started to get to me and I needed a lay down. It was the end of my shift anyways so why not just go home. No wait, something happened before that... Something to do with my brother whom I haven't seen since the last great time- Anyway, I know it was probably a mistake to go home so early, but I needed food and a good night's sleep."
"Objection your honor, I don't see how any of this is exactly relevant to the events that took place on the thirty-seventh of January!"
I've already made someone angry? I thought I was telling the story quite well, I still need to tell them that it wasn't Captain Alex.
Matheson spoke this time; "I'll allow it, but do please get to the point faster Wilkes. We haven't all day."
Right the spotlight is back on me, where was I? Oh right.
"I made it to the lobby at the bottom of the wall, signed out, and let Captain Alex know I was on my way out," that's what happened wasn't it? "No no, sorry I got to the lobby and signed out. Had a cup of water, and went outside to head home. As I said before-"
"Wilkes, is this relevant to the explosion?" Matheson, you dumb son of a bi-.
"Yes, yes your honor it most certainly does," was my reply. It most certainly does? Get it together man, tell them about- "Now, as I said before I felt the need for some," Oh I see just shutting me out, you have to tell them it wasn't Captain Alex, and that we're all in dang- "food and a good night's sleep. So I...
So what do you guys think? Please leave a review, it will help me a lot in writing the rest of this story! Thanks for reading! :D
