Arrival of the Actillian

Chapter 1

Taken

The next morning, the sun rises. On a farm lived three people, and in the basement is a man doing yoga. Every morning, he does twenty-five minutes of yoga while his laptop loads up. He has a TV, on a TV stand with a VCR under it playing one of his yoga tapes. Above the VCR is the DVD player, and near it is a PS2 and beside the TV is a Wii. On both sides of the TV are cabinets, with book shelves on each and they're loaded with DVDs. He is doing yoga two feet away from the TV, and to his left is a coffee table with a cabinet put on top of it. He has a mini-fridge beside the coffee table. Behind him is his Queen Size bed in a corner, with a bed/chair beside it. Right beside the bed/chair is the pool table, but it has way too many things on it. It has a bookshelf loaded with video tapes, and on top of it are models. His laptop is on a stool in front of the bed/chair.

Well as he is nearing to finish the yoga morning training, his laptop came on. He stops, turn of the yoga tape. He went and sat down on his bed/chair, and looks at the laptop. He presses a few buttons, and load up the internet.

As it loads, he grabs the DVD remote that is on the floor. He points it at the TV, and presses the power button. It came on, and the DVD in it is CSI: NY. He said to himself, "Hmm, which episode. I think I'll watch the show; Death till we Part." He presses the arrow button, going down the list. He presses the button, and the show started.

He turns to look at the computer screen, and see it is at the Deviant Art log in site. He enters his nickname, "Lord-Josephiroth" and types in his password. Presses the log in button and it begins to load up. He checks, seeing that there no messages. So he log out and checks the other two sites, and his email account. He sees that there are no messages on each, so he turns off the computer.

Just than he realizes something, he slaps his head in irritation. He presses the power button to load it up once more, and as he waits. He decided to go take a shower; he puts the laptop back on the stool. Than got up, and went to his own washroom.

Later he came back, nice and clean from sweat. He wore on a black tank top shirt, black pants, and he wears glasses to see. Have brown eyes, dark hair, and a goatee. After every day of exercises, he is muscled built.

He headed to his bed/chair, sat down and grabs the laptop. He presses a few buttons, checking on the Souris Theatre web page. He notices that this weekend, the movie Avatar is going to be there. He has got to see it, after all of what he heard of his friends on DA said about it, and seeing the commercial as well.

He looks up at the wall, seeing a calendar. Today is Friday, that means tonight he will go see Avatar. He doesn't work today, which is his day-off. He than realizes, it is long walk to Souris and he can't drive. So the best option is to ask his mother or father, since they're the only ones on the farm that can drive.

He puts the laptop back upon the foot stool, got up. And he walks to his right, going pass two desks, a cabinet full of movie tapes. He headed to the left, going pass two doors. He went to the stairs, and walks up those twelve steps.

Thirty minutes later, he came back downstairs. Came back to his usual area, and tries to figure on what to do for now. The movie starts at seven thirty, so he leaves and seven pm. usually his mother doesn't take him to the theatre because she has something to do. But today, she has something to do in Souris that might last during the time he spends time at the theatre.

Instead of sitting back down, he bends down to look on the laptop screen. He sees at the bottom right corner, the time is five forty-five pm. So that means; he only has an hour and fifteen minutes.

So what can he do in that amount of time, he wandered. He could work on the Arrival of the Actillian, but he has no idea of where to begin. He could watch the movie right now, and have some of the cheese buns he bought from Superstore in Brandon. Than a thought came to mind, he turns to look at his Wii. He decided to play a video game on his Wii system. He has many choices to choose from, and somehow one of them will give him an idea.

He presses the power button, grabbed the controllers. Than uses it to activate the game, and he soon started playing the game called, Metroid Prime Trilogy.

After an hour, he saved and quit. He puts the controllers down, and turns off the TV. Turns around, and went to sit down on the edge of his bed/chair. He looks at the laptop screen, and sees that he only has fifteen minutes left. So he turns off the laptop, and gets himself ready.

He put on his red jacket, changing from black pants to blue jeans. Puts on black socks, and grabs his watch. In ten minutes, it will be time to go. Right after the movie, he must spend some time at his brother's place until she is done.

He looks at his backpack that is on the ground, and a few thoughts came to mind. Things he can take with him and use while he waits. He went to grab a few things, and puts them in his back pack. He grabs seven hundred pages note book, and grabs his Pokemon ultimate hand book. He put them into the backpack, and he than grabs two pencils and a sharpener. He puts them in the backpack, and he thought of playing his DS on the way. So he grabs one that has two games in it, along with a DS case that holds another DS game in case he gets bored of the game. He puts them in the backpack, and than a thought came to mind when he notices the drinks and some of his bags of chips. After the movie, the stores in the town will be closed. So he grabs a two L Diet A & W and a bag of nacho cheeses, and he puts them in his backpack. He can take them with him into the theater, as long as he doesn't open them. Seems fair, so he puts them into his backpack and he is ready to go.

"Joe," said a woman from the top of the stairs.

"Yeah," Joe said, putting the backpack on his back.

"It is time to go," said the woman.

"I'm coming mom," said Joe, and he turns off the light and walks away in the dark. Going up the stairs, talked with his parents as he gets his winter boots on. And soon, they have left, going to Souris.

At around seven twenty, they arrived in Souris. Driving down the road in a dark green van, Joe sat on the front passenger side and his mother is driving. Soon she stops the vehicle in front of the theater, and said, "Joe, do you remember where Gary lives?"

"Come on mom, you know me. I pretty much know this town from in and out, it is just north from here," he said. He takes his seat belt off, and opens the door. He than got out, and looks at her.

"Well son, enjoy the movie," she said.

"See you later," Joe said, and he closes the door and sees her drive off. He turns around, enters into the building. And walks up to the counter, and he sees a lot of people in here.

The man at the counter notices his face, and said, "Well now, Joseph. I knew you would come here…"

"Justin," Joe said in surprise. "You work at Souris Theater now?"

"Yep, and this time you can't fool anyone with your age," Justin said. Justin is Joseph's best friend from the old High School. Justin already knows that Joseph hardly ever shaves, with his beard he would look forty-three. If he has a clean shaven, he would look seventeen. And with the goatee, he would look like his real age. "That will be six dollars," Justin said.

Joseph pulls out his wallet, the same wallet he got when he went to Banff four years ago. The best wallet he has, for it is hard to steal it without yanking the chain. He counted his money, and he has fifty-six dollars and seventy-five cents. He pulls out three toonies, and places them on the counter.

Justin took the toonies, and handed him a ticket. Joe took it, and said, "How long have you been working here?"

"Today is my first day, how about you. You still live at home with no job?" Justin asks him.

"Nope, you remember the Subway restaurant that opened in town last week. I work there now, as a part time job right now," Joe said.

"Lucky you, one of good restaurants to go to... Tell me what time, and I'll see you there," Justin said.

"No way, you'll probably make a rotten stench in the washroom," said Joe.

Justin laughs quietly, and said, "Well go enjoy the movie."

"Will do," said Joe, and instead going to get a seat. He went to the small sell, and bought himself a can of diet coke, a Coffee Crisp, and medium size popcorn without melted butter. Than gone to find a seat, and soon the movie started.

As the movie ended, Joe was glad he seen it. The movie was awesome, seriously awesome. As Joe walked in the small crowd, he went over to the trash can and put the empty popcorn bag and coffee crisp wrapping in it. Than he puts the empty can into the recycling, and soon he is ready to leave. He still has his backpack on his back, and he went to the doors.

"Hey Joe, where are you off to?" Justin asks, coming up to him from behind.

Joe turns around to look at him, and said, "I'm going to go to my brother's place, just to wait till my mother is done."

Justin understands, and he asks, "Do you need a ride?"

"No thanks, I'll walk. It's not far, and I could use the exercise," Joe said.

"Strange, back at the years in school. You were a slow runner, you hardly ever exercise," said Justin. "You were a fat man, and easy to make fun of."

"Oh shut up," Joe said, sounded mad about it. "And you were always a guy who enters sports, and gets injured in them."

"Ha, ha, well what made you decide to become a muscle man?" Justin asks him.

"To protect myself, people bug me about my looks. No one makes fun out of a muscle man," said Joe.

"Well I can understand that, at least you can punch instead of biting," Justin said, trying to make a joke.

"You still remember that? Man we were just boxing and you were aiming at my head," Joe said to him.

"You should've kept your mouth shut," Justin said.

"Well never mind all this, I need to get going. Gary knows I am coming, and I can't be late," said Joe.

"Well see you at Subway," said Justin, and he turns around and went to do a little work. It seems he is going to be cleaning up the area…

So Joe said, "Have a good time cleaning, because I have a feeling your going to need it."

"Don't tell me it's bad," Justin said.

"Some of the kids brought there own gum," said Joe, and this made Justin feel disgusted.

Joe laughs, and Justin heard him. "Oh I am seriously going to make it bad for you at Subway," and Joe heard him say that.

"Well the only way you can is if I am working," Joe said, and he leaves right after the rest of the crowd are gone.

He came outside of the theatre, and it is night. Seems everyone left in vehicles, and only he is outside. He was about to walk north, until he heard. "Somebody help!"

Joe heard it; it was coming from the alleyway beside the theatre. Joe walks in that direction, he looks to his right to look through the window of the theater. Justin is carrying a mop and a bucket, and Joe knocks on the window and pointed with his left hand in that direction.

Justin saw him, and came to open the door. He asks, "What is it?" Than he hears a woman yelling, and got the feeling of what Joe is telling him.

So they both ran to the alleyway to assist the person in trouble. As soon as they came into view, they see a man running towards them with a baseball bat. He stops in front of them, and tries to get away from them. Running back and they followed. Joe sees a woman on the ground, she is in bad shape. Joe turns to look at Justin as they run, and said, "Go help her, I'll handle this bastard."

Justin heard him, and went to help the girl. And Joe picks up the pace after the guy. The man turns to look at him in mid running, and learns only one is chasing him. The man stops, and went to swing a bat at him.

Joe grabs the bat with his left hand, and did a jump kick at the guy's chest. The punk felt the impact, and fell on his back. Joe held the bat, and throws it near a trash can.

"I'll make you pay for that," said the guy as he got back up. Then he went to punch him, aiming at his head.

Joe dodges each punch, and said, "You pick a bad time to hurt a lady. For that, you will," he got punch in the gut.

"Just shut up and fight you punk," said the guy.

Joe felt the pain, and became very mad. Than he said, "I see that you are not from here, because if you did, here is what about to come." Joe went to punch him, and guy went to dodge. But the punch didn't go, it was a distraction.

Joe kicks him, right into every man's weak point. And the man screamed in pain, he fell to his knees. Than Joe punches him in the head, striking a few times and he is knocked out.

"That's what you get, scum," said Joe, he bends down. He pulls out the guy's wallet, and checks the name on it. He learns of the guy's name, and that is what he will tell the police of who did the pain on the poor girl. He puts the wallet that still contain it things, back into the thug's pocket. He then notices a purse under the guy's coat, not only a thug but also a thief. Joe takes it, and going to return it to the lady. But than a thought came to mind, he grabs the guy's legs. Drags him towards a dumpster, picks him up and throws him into the trash. He made sure the legs are visible so the garbage man won't accidentally kill him.

"And that is where you go, just like a piece of trash," Joe said, and so he took the purse and ran back.

As soon as he came back, he found Justin helping the girl. Joe heard him say, "Julie, I got to take you to the hospitable."

"Just bruising, I thought I was a goner. Thanks Justin," Julie said, getting up. She notices Joe coming up to them, and she asks, "Who're you?"

"Well Julie, it is nice to see you again. Here is your purse," Joe said, handing her purse to her.

"I never met you before," Julie said.

"Julie, don't you remember Joe?" Justin asks her.

Julie is surprise to see Joe, and said, "Oh Joey, thanks for getting my purse back."

"No problem; just got a sore gut. Do you know that idiot?" Joe asks her, using his left hand to point behind him.

Julie was saddened, and said, "That was Terry, and I thought he was a nice guy. Always talking about baseball, and he said he found that baseball bat in the trash."

"You sure it's Terry? Because from the name I got from him, his name is Colt Daniels, and he is not from around here," Joe said. "He tricked you; he probably tires to get out of it by going by a different name." Than he notices her bruises, and said, "I think you best take Julie to the hospitable. Those bruising look kinda of bad…"

"I said I am fine," Julie said.

"But it is best that you get a check up, just in case," Joe said.

"Since when did you get all smart all of sudden," Julie asks him.

"That is not important, Julie. Justin, can you take her to the hospitable," Joe asks him.

"Yes, but I need to finish my work," Justin said.

"I'll do it, you best go take her back to the hospitable," Joe said, and Justin nodded.

"Thanks Joe, let's go Julie," Justin said, and he and Julie went to Justin's truck.

Joe saw them go, and he turns around to head back to the theater. Joe thought of everything that had happen today, as he headed back to the theater to finish Justin's cleaning.

But then as he walks through the snow, he felt strange. He felt weakened for some reason, as if he is exhausted from a two mile run. He rubs his head, but there was no sweat. Joe asks himself, "What the heck?"

Than the area brighten up, and Joe looks up. He notices a strange orb of mixed colors coming down towards him. "Oh my God," Joe said in surprise, and he tries to back away. But his feet wouldn't obey him, felt like his feet are glued to the ground.

The orb splits into four separate color orbs, red, blue, green, and light blue. Those orbs circle around him, and Joe asks, "What are these things?"

The orbs begin to spin faster, and faster. Joe touches one, but felt like his hand got burnt from touching the red one. "Ah," Joe said in shock, and suddenly he is lifted in the air. The orbs are still circling around him, and Joe yells, "What's going on?" He couldn't believe of what is happening; he is floating in the air by these strange orbs.

Than he felt like being pulled downwards, so he looks down. "Oh my God," Joe said in shock, and he sees some kind of black whirlpool under him. He tries to get away from it, but he couldn't touch the orbs without hurting himself.

The orbs are slowly disappearing, and Joe stares in shock. The only thing that kept him hovering is because of those orbs. He said, "No, no, NO!" The orbs faded, and he plummeted into the black whirlpool. He felt nothing, except no ground. He gone through the ground and he were yelling in shock surprise. The black whirlpool shrunk, and disappeared. The only thing in its place is a snow covered ground, with his last two foot prints in them.
