Well, back for yet another round of chapters for a story. This time's different though... I'm actually gonna be able to finish this one, since I've done something I normally don't do much of for stories: planning. I guess the saying "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." is actually correct. So I'll be spending more time on trying to make some better chapters, where I already know the base of what I want. This might make it actually have longer update times than usual for me (when I don't take a 3 month break that is!).
Before you read on, I'll let you know some important things, so you don't read something you don't care to read: This story IS a self-insertion, but I'll be doing something a lot of self-insertion stories don't: make sure it's actually something I could actually do in real life. No random 'I think I'll just suddenly start using my hands to destroy everything!' crap, which really is a totally unrealistic way of doing things.
This is using a version of myself where I only know a few things on SatAm, such as who everyone is, and basically nothing else (although I really know a lot more obviously IRL). Oh, and I do use a few curse words, but not too much, only where it'd be obvious where someone would use one.
This story is based specifically on trying to be able to go between two episodes, and should be able to easily fit in between certain episodes (which I'm pretty sure I'll have this go between two Season Two episodes (I originally thought of doing this in between two Season One episodes)). If you can watch a certain episode (which I'll state later), and then read this, and then go onto the next episode afterwards without seeing that anything is off really plotwise (like where they'd have something from the story that they don't in the next episode), then I've done my job well.
And now... on to the sotry! Err... story. Yeah... story.

"Oh yeah... looks like a new high score!" I said as I kept playing Frets on Fire, a computer game I have, finishing The Trooper. "Heh... aww... crap!" My new score actually was still off by a few hundred points where my last high score was. I set down my keyboard, and just sighed. "Man, I really thought that was a new high score!"
I got up, looking at my cell phone really quick for the time: 3:42PM. I sighed again, and got up, going to my room, and putting on a pair of beige cargo pants, getting myself ready for a later time. I was gonna be going to be eating dinner at a local Whataburger, so I just decided on getting dressed a bit earlier than usual, knowing something usually goes wrong with traffic, and it'd take me about 30 minutes just getting there. Going back to the study, I stuffed both my phone and my wallet into the various pockets of my pants.
I was just about to quit out FoF, when I heard a loud crash from the living room on the other side of my house. "What the hell? Home invaders?" I muttered as I quickly turned off the lights in the study, along with the monitor. I silently looked out into the hallway, trying to see if anyone was coming this way. Sure enough, there were some people coming this way. I couldn't tell who they were, or anything, as it was dark in the hallway like usual at this time of day.
I quietly backed up behind the wall completely, and took a little notepad and a mini flashlight and pencil, shoving them into my extra pockets. 'If these guys wanna get stuff from this room... I'm screwed... royally.' I thought to myself as I poked my head out again, seeing the invaders start to move around the house individually. 'My only chance...' I quietly walked to my room, when there was no one in sight to see me.
When I got to my room, I quickly went into my closet (a walk-in closet), and closed the door, the door creaking slightly. I got out my flashlight, and looked around the closet, seeing absolutely nothing I could use to defend myself. With what I've heard about home invaders, they don't care about the people inside, only the stuff, so they kill the people inside and I really didn't want that to happen to me!
I got on my chest, and looked trhough the little crack under the door, and saw a metal boot, from one of the guys in my house. I just watched the feet as they kept moving around, going from looking at my bed, apparently, to my PS2 and GC (and my TV), and to my dresser, and finally to the closet door. I quickly tried to hide within the clothes of the closet, and nearly knocked over a box in the process. 'Go away...'
The door opened, and I just did my best to stay hidden. When I looked up though, through a small open area of the clothes, I saw a flash of red light illuminate my closet. 'What the... is this guy using infra-red sensors to find me? And why the heck do they want to search a closet only full of clothes? These guys must be thorough...' The red lights kept searching the room, passing over the clothes rack I was hiding within. The lights turned off, and I heard the light switch turn on, and a bunch of light shone through the closet.
With that on, I got a much better look at whoever this guy was... and I was shocked... I was actually looking at a SWATbot!! 'The fuuuu... this isn't real... I'm only freakin' out...' I kept quiet for as long as possible so far, but I screwed up, kicking a box when trying to get my leg off from the wall. The bot turned back around, as it was already about to leave, and it threw open the rack of clothes I was hiding in, and immediately grabbed me. "Hey! Let me go!"
"Target found! Search complete!" The SWATbot said, yelling to its comrades. It jerked me up off the floor and out of the closet, walking me to the living room. I kept trying to break free, but kept hitting my head on the walls. After about a minute in one hall alone while trying to break free, I only ended with a cut forehead from hitting the wall corner. Several other SWATbots surrounded me as we arrived into the main hallway. I stopped trying to break free for a second, and then I finally broke free as I jerked once more, running to the kitchen, where I tried to grab at a steak knife, but I was stopped by a laser beam flying by me, hitting the knifes, sending them all flying away, and taking a large chunk of the wall behind them.
I turned and ran to the dining room next to the kitchen, where I was blocked off by my mom's own stuff, and I ran back to the main hallway, all the bots having followed in the dining room by now. I turned the corner into the darker hallway where the bedrooms where, and ran straight into another SWATbot, where I just hit my head on it, falling down. It grabbed at me again, and I tried to roll out the way, hitting my arm on the wall.
Once more I got picked up onto my feet, where I received a hard whack on the wall with my foot. Only thing that helped there was my shoe, so it didn't hurt like the head and arm hits I took against that wall. I looked at the wall for a second, seeing a little blood on it, but not much. I held out my free hand, and a drop of blood fell into it, from the cut on my forehead. "Man..."
And once more, I was shoved forward, and this time, another bot came and grabbed my other arm. "You ever try to let a guy at least grab a few things on his way out?" I asked as I was led to the living room a second time. When I got to the living room seconds later, I was met by the sight of a portal thing. "Oh no you don't! No way I'm going in that thing!"
"You will or you will be terminated!" The SWATbot holding my left arm said, and I just looked at the portal.
"So you're gonna give me a choice?"
"No." The two bots holding me then walked into the portal, and the rest followed, the portal closing.
"AHHHH!!!!" I yelled as the portal closed behind us all, and I tried to reach for the portal entrace uselessly, as my arms were still being held. Then I started to notice something, the portal seemed to grow a lot bigger all of a sudden. I looked down at my arms, half expecting my body to turn all red from the heat in this portal. I was sweating like crazy, and I started to drift in and out of consciousness. I snapped out of it as I saw a part of the portal in front of me open up, and I was walked forwards again. Then I looked around again: we weren't walking, we were simply floating towards the opening. I felt my stomach turn over, and I nearly puke from the extremely weird change in gravity, going from full gravity, to none, and then back to full again, all in just 1 second. "Oh... ugh... what the hell..." I winced as I felt the same gravity change, this time doing it twice. I very nearly puked again, but I kept it together, and just closed my eyes as I felt yet another gravity change.
I was shaken as we were nearing the end of this portal, and the SWATbots held their grip on me tighter, and we landed on solid metal floor. I looked around, and saw not much, other than some faded green machinery at work. "Crap... I better not be where I THINK I am..."
"Oh but you are..."

Uh-oh... I just got caught...Well... let's just see what happens next!
If you are wondering where I have my stuff, my phone is in my right pocket, the wallet in my left, and all else in the right extra pocket. The left extra is still empty. I'll explain why I have the flashlight, pencil, and notepad later in another chapter though...
