After a short flight from the ISV venture star the Valkyrie finally touched down. A tall handsome man called Waheed stepped out onto the enchantingly beautiful planet of Pandora, which would soon become his new home. His lovely, well-groomed beard looked magnificent through the Perspex faceplate of the exopack.
Still feeling fatigued from being in cryo for six years, Waheed slowly walked into a feautureless grey building, following the commands of a high ranking officer.
"Mate, I am proper knackered!" Waheed said to a short not quite as handsome gentleman by the side of him
"I know mate me too!" replied the man "What's your name bro?"
"My names Waheed mate, what about you?"
"I'm Omar, so what's your job here then?"
"I'm an Avatar driver mate"
"Really? Me too!" Omar shook his head in disbelieve "Can't wait to see my Avatar! Can you?"
"Maybe" Waheed bluntly said.
They continued to venture into the establishment when they reached a large room with lots of chairs a big panoramic window. After sitting down and getting a cup of tea, an older intimidating looking man in commanders uniform strutted in. Omar looked at Waheed as if to say; "Who does this guy think he is?"
"Hello everyone. My name is Colonel Dexter. I am in charge of operations round here. You are not allowed to run night ops and I will not pleased if someone disobeys me. No-one so much as breathes round here without my permission." He stated clearly in his soft feminine voice "Anyway let's get to work boys! Any questions?"
Waheed put up his hand piously.
"When do we start driving our Avatars?"
"I don't know; that's not my job to tell little idiots like you what to do! If you wanna get in your Avatar! You should ask them science pukes! Now if you wanna survive round here, you gotta learn to not ask questions! Any other questions punk?"
"No sorry for asking"
"Good… now you're learning boy!"
After the briefing ended, Waheed and Omar were approached by a curly haired Indian man with a large well kept beard. He introduced himself as Max Patel.
"Hey are you the new avatar drivers?" he said.
"Yeah mate" said Omar.
"If you'll please follow me I'll introduce you to your new babies"
Waheed and Omar followed Max into a darkened room with two large cylinders containing Avatars in it.
"Here we are" Max gestured towards the cylinders.
Waheed walked towards the cylinder containing his Avatar and in shocked exclaimed; "Wow it's beautiful!"
"I know right?"
Omar was looking at his when he asked; "When do we get to drive these bro?"
"They'll be ready tomorrow" grinned Max
After a long sleepless night, Waheed and Omar were taken to the linking room. Omar lay down into a linking chamber and closed his eyes. The next thing he knew, he was in a giant blue body with two people in exopacks looking over him.
"Hey how are you feeling?" one of them asked
"Think I'm alright. Bit confused though"
"Don't worry, that'll soon pass, love. Now are you ready to stand up?"
Waheed slowly got to his feet off the trolly he was laid on. His vision suddenly became cloudy and he began to stumble around.
"He's malfunctioning! Quick! Inject him with some serum!"
The last thing Waheed remembered before passing out was the sharp pain as a large needle penetrated his arm.
Waheed awoke on a hospital bed. His brain felt scrambled and Omar was sat beside him.
"What happened?" he asked, rubbing his eyes
"Your Avatar malfunctioned. They tried to get you out but it was too late. All the evil parts of you were left in the Avatar and all the good parts of your mind were returned to your mind."
"So… my avatar's running around doing bad shit and that?"
"I'm afraid so mate."
Waheed sat up and blinked vigorously whilst his eyes got used to the light.
"How long have I been passed out?"
"Three days mate"
"I haven't slept that long since college!"
Omar laughed but still looked concerned.
"Do you feel alright mate?" asked Omar
"Yeah… I'm ok. Infact I feel proper good. I mean like I thought I'd be angry after coming out here for nothing but… I actually feel fine"
"That's because you left all your negative emotions in that Avatar as half of your mind was left in there"
Max ran into the room, looking distraught.
"Guys! I have bad news! Waheed's Avatar broke out of the holding chamber and is coming this way!"
"What are we going to do?" Omar inquired
"We're just gonna have to take him on ourselves!" cried Waheed valiantly
All of a sudden a scream was heard from down the hall as they heard hurried footsteps.
"This sounds like him!"
Waheed stood up and brushed himself off, standing at the door prepared for what was to come.
"COME AND TAKE ME!" screamed Waheed gallantly, his extremely handsome face creasing slightly in anger.
In a flash the Avatar appeared from round the corner and Waheed jumped back in surprise. The Avatar was fully loaded with rocket launchers and a jet pack.
"I brought you into this world and I'm gonna take you out!" yelled Waheed
"Try it… bitch" the Avatar replied, sounding exactly the same as Waheed
Waheed charged forward and landed a punch on the Avatar's handsome blue face, then tripped over his own feet as the Avatar reached for it's rocket launcher, getting ready to shoot Waheed. Omar jumped at the Avatar to stop it, when it shot a rocket straight at him. As the rocket collided with him he blew up into millions of pieces.
"NOOOOO!" Screamed Waheed "You'll pay for this, you asshole!"
"Haha I'll see you later" The Avatar grinned and grabbed Max by the torso and started up his jetpack. Breaking through the roof of the building in his vertical ascent.
Waheed sat against the wall and panted, waiting for hours before finally standing up and heading to the colonel's office.
"Sir! We have an emergency! One of the Avatar's has gone on a killing spree!"
"Y'know what! I don't care and neither does the RDA! He's not threatening our unobtainium!"
"But sir! Lives are at stake!"
"Well I don't care! People are disposable! Unobtanium however isn't!
"Screw you and your precious unobtanium! I quit!"
Waheed stormed out, grabbing a jetpack and some guns on the way.
"It's payback time!"
Meanwhile on Tatooine, Ben Kenobi felt a disturbance in the force. A disturbance that could mean the end of the universe itself...
