Chapter 1 - End days of the War
I was once a soldier who followed every instinct that roamed inside my blood to a caring father and a loving husband. I never knew faith could bring me this far in this future where my people were gone with only me as the one of the last survivors of the Hispanics. I would never forget my family, the war, ... and the first time I met her ... Vicky.
(South Carolina 2025)
Insurgent Soldier 1: (In Spanish) White Supremacist soldiers incoming!
Rodrigo: (In Spanish) Really? Thank god, I was starting to get bored with all this running.
Insurgent Soldier 2: (In Spanish) That's nice of you to say that, Rodrigo (sarcastic tone). But now we have supremacist soldiers incoming so now we need to be more cautious with the current situation now.
Rodrigo: Sir, yes sir (I mumbled)
Gunfire*
Insurgent Soldier 1: Gunfire!
Rodrigo: Hey smart-ass! We know what gunfire is! (Yelling)
As Rodrigo was ready to fire a few rounds at the enemy, he was met with a few gifts from the enemy himself.
Rodrigo: SHIT!
Supremacist Soldier 1: Give up rodents! (Yelling) There's no way you can win this war!
If Rodrigo had a dollar every time he heard that same line, he'd be the richest Mexican individual in America. But now, he decided to say something back...
Rodrigo: (In English) Hey, do me a favor and say 'hello' to Adolf Hitler for me will ya? *Fires a few rounds at a enemy soldier who told to surrender.*
Supremacist Soldier 1: *Falls to the floor dead*
Supremacist Soldier 2: YOU MOTHERF!%#$!
Rodrigo: Sorry I don't speak Nazi. *Smiles*
Rodrigo started felt pride rush through himself, a grenade was thrown at his direction.
Insurgent Soldier 1: Rodrigo, GRENADE!
Grenade Explodes*
Insurgent Soldier 2: RODRIGO!
(3 Hours later)
Rodrigo*Opens eyes with shock* Aaarggh! *Looks around* Where am I?
???: Safe that's what.
Rodrigo*Turns to the direction of the voice* Who are you?
As the figure move out of the shadows of the room, a white man with brown hair and a white lab coat appears.
Rodrigo*Gets into fighting stance* Who the heck are you?
???: Relax, I am not your enemy.
Rodrigo*Lowers clenched fists a bit*
Still who are you?
???: My name is Johnathan A. Kleiner, I am the head scientist and director of Special Projects.
Rodrigo: Special Projects? What's that?
Johnathan: Special Projects is a science organization created and funded by the government. It's main purpose was to destroy the Hispanic insurgency. But now we just create new technology that can help humans at life.
Rodrigo: *Puts down fists* OK, so one question if I may ask.
Johnathan: Proceed.
Rodrigo: How did I get here?
Johnathan: The marines decided to hand you over to Special Projects for experimentation.
Rodrigo: *Raises both fists at Johnathan* And what are you going to do to me, exactly?
Johnathan: Nothing really. The only thing that I am going to do his help you.
Rodrigo: Help me at what? (suspicious tone)
Johnathan: At being something new.
Rodrigo: New?
Johnathan: Indeed. Special Projects has created a serum that can enhance human abilities to a much higher point. And I believe you could be the first person to obtain the serum inside of you. Not only have we created the serum, but we created the world's first cryogenic sleeping chamber! *Gives a smile of pride*
Rodrigo: *Lowers fists* So what you're saying is that you guys have created a serum that can turn a person something more, and a cyro-sleeping chamber that freezes a person overtime?
Johnathan: That is correct.
Rodrigo: *Gives a face of disbelief* I don't believe the single crap you're spewing out.
Johnathan: Oh really?
Rodrigo watched Johnathan walk to the other side of the dark room. He heard a click which brighten the room with lights revealing a table with a syringe and a serum and something large at the other side with a large plastic tarp covering it.
Rodrigo: Okay I am slowly starting to think you weren't lying.
Johnathan: *Walks to the table with the syringe* Are you ready to be the first human with unique abilities beyond comprehension? And the first to be in cryogenic sleep?
Rodrigo: Does the serum have any side effects?
Johnathan: I have tested it on an chimpanzee before, and when it was infuriated by a gorilla, it ... well let's just say the gorilla didn't survive.
Rodrigo*Looks at the serum with a concern look, then sighs* Well it's worth a shot. *Puts arm on the table*
(Author's Note: No pun Intended!)
Johnathan: *Loads the serum with the syringe* I must warn you, you will feel slight pain flowing through your body. But don't worry it's just the serum spreading through the body by blood vessels.
As Johnathan was about to inject Rodrigo with a serum, a door at the right side of Rodrigo's direction opened revealing a scientist who looked like he was in shock.
Scientist: Dr. Kleiner! The marines are heading this way, you need to inject that thing quick and get that Mexican in the chamber quick!
Johnathan: Got it! *Injects the serum*
Rodrigo: Wait, why do you need me in the chamber so badly?
Johnathan: The soldiers want you dead. *Heads to the tarp covered object and removes the tarp revealing a large machine with a glass cylinder, and opens it* Get in!
Rodrigo: *Runs to the chamber and enters it* So now wha- aaaaarggghhh!
There's the pain he was expecting.
Johnathan: Listen closely, Rodrigo. Once you come back out of the chamber you need to find a way out of the facility.
Rodrigo: How did you know my name?
Johnathan: Dogtag. *Hangs hand over a button and looks at me* Good luck, Rodrigo. *Pushes button*
Rodrigo: *Nods and starts to closes eyes*
(Special Projects facility, South Carolina, 2644)
As Rodrigo began to hear hissing sounds, he suddenly open his eyes and saw the chamber door open wide.
Rodrigo: Kleiner, I hope it's you. ... Kleiner?
As Rodrigo saw the entire room he saw what shocked him. The entire was a mess and he suddenly saw a skeleton corpse with a familiar lab coat on with the ID tag showing ...Kleiner. The poor guy was killed, just because he saved a life.
Rodrigo: Poor bastard. Didn't even say thanks.
Rodrigo's thoughts: Hold on, if Kleiner didn't get me out, then who did?
A sudden noise of a glass shard breaking caught his attention, as he turned to the source of the noise he yelled.
Rodrigo: Who's there?(Yelling)
When he looked in the direction of the noise he saw a small cluster of wooden boxes. But the thing that caught his eyes were a pair of Amber colored eyes staring right at him.
