Chapter 1: The Heck Is This?

I opened my eyes, then I shut them and opened them quickly one more time. This is impossible. I had been laying in my bed, I was sure of it. The grass and wood chunks I was laying on definitely were not my bed, also when did the Earth get a second sun. Wait! Why are there two suns!? Standing up cautiously I begin to wonder how hard I hit my head when I fell out of bed. That is the only reasonable explanation. Yes, that's it, I fell out of bed and I now have a concussion. I will wake up soon, I tell myself hoping I'm right.

Just in case I wasn't, I decided to get familiar with my surroundings. After walking a few yards, I heard a noise from the trees. Grabbing the only available object I raise the stick high over my head with my other hand out in front in a clumsy kung-fu style. I'm not sure what I expected, but the tiny people-turkeys weren't it! These little guys didn't trust very well. After trying about twenty times to explain I wasn't from here and listening to them tell me I was a "spy from the sky with magic," I gave up. After all, I was arguing with myself because I was dreaming, wasn't I? I couldn't believe how annoying these stubborn little guys were. After yet another bout of bickering, they decided that I needed to be tortured so that I would give up my 'leader' some woman named Azkadellia.

"You guys are out of your tiny minds!" I yelled from my bird cage prison.

Turning, I noticed the tall skinny man hanging above me.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"Who me?"

No... the invisible person hanging up there with you. I thought, Great! I'm stuck in here with an idiot. Please, God, let me wake up soon.

"The little ankle-biters thought it would be funny to keep me hanging around. If you let me down I can have the last laugh." He answered, sarcasticly. Okay, maybe it won't be so bad after all, at least he is sarcastic. But still, what if he is some kind of a crazy killer. I thought looking at him skeptically.

"Come on, if you really want answers, there is only one person who can help and he is in Central City. I'm guessing since you aren't from here, you don't know where that is."

"And you know the way?"

"Of course I do. Though it's kind of hard to give directions from up here." He giggled.

He does have a point, even if he seems insane, I thought as I reached for the rope holding him in place.

Once he was on the same level, I could study him. He was even skinnier down here, scrawny even,. His facial features and the way he walked with a limp reminded me of a penguin. He wasn't really my type, more my best friend, Annabelle's. Then I noticed something else.

"What the heck?!" I exclaimed when I saw the open zipper on the man's head.

"Hey you aren't so hot on first glance either." he answered some what bitterly. I tried not to stare, but I just couldn't help it.

"What? What is wrong with me? Why are you still staring?" he bit out through his clenched teeth.

"Hmm. Oh! Your um, your zipper is undone."

"Oh, so sorry!" he replied in a sweet innocent voice so unlike the one he was just using, "I didn't mean to offend you. Sorceress Azkadellia had her alchemist remove my brain." he continued as he zipped his head closed.

"Why did they take your brain?"

"Because of what I know," he responded darkly, "Well what I did, whatever it was."

Shaking my head, I mumbled, "And I thought this nightmare couldn't get any weirder."

"Oh, this isn't a nightmare, this is the O.Z., the outer zone. It used to be a patch of heaven before Azkadee dug her magical claws into it."

"Azkadellia! Evil village raider, and brain thief?"

"That's the one! Yeah she caused a violent coupe with the help of her long-coated henchmen. Anyways, the names Penguin, on account of how I walk, and because I don't know my proper name. Casualty of the operation."

"Nice to meet you Penguin, my name is DG."

From below we heard a loud neigh. Looking down I expected to see the evil bird-men coming back, Instead there were men in long black coats, some were looking around, and Some of them were grabbing chainsaws.

"We have to get out of here. If you think the Eastern Resistance fighters are bad, then you do not want to meet a long-coat. And the one down there, is the worst." he said pointing at the large man in front of the group. "His name is Harvey Bullock, and he won't hesitate to kill any of us. We have to get out of here!"

The poor guy was shaking in fear, so I started to look around for a way out. The only possibility that I could see was to jump from the cage to one of the platforms and rung in the opposite direction from the men, so that is what I decided to do.

"DG, it is too high to jump!" Penguin whispered loudly just as I let go of the swinging cage.

A/N- Sorry for the cliff-hanger. This is my first story so updates might be a little slow, but I have a lot planned for this story and even a sequel? Helpful criticism is always appreciated. And yeah I suck at this whole author's note thing so yeah, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy.
