Chapter 1: Wake Up Call
Ah yes, it is the sun rises at last... I still can't believe that it has been a year since the world shocking phenomena known as "The Second Summer of Love". Humanity has begun to get back on its feet and co-exist with the intelligent being know as the "Scub Coral". Furthermore, the death of the infamous Colonel Dewey Novak and the disappearance of Sage Coda from her seat in the Council of Sages made the United Federation force break apart into different groups and sectors. Many of these sectors no longer held on to the name "United Federation" and began their own pursuit for political power. At the same time, humanity also discovered an undamaged version of the oldest collection of documents in history, in which they called "The Book". This discovery sparked humanity's hunger for a better understanding of the world, and they have no choice but to publish these documents to the public. This created a global controversy as humanity began to break apart into different groups according to their own interpretation of "The Book". It will be only a matter of time until they return to murder each other... unless they realize that their only path to survival is to co-exist with each other and with the Scub Coral in peaceful harmony... but...
"HEY!" A female voice came through the intercom that jolted the man back to his senses, "Are you still conscious in there?"
"Heh, sorry, I was getting lost in my own thoughts again," the man replied to the female voice on the intercom as he scratched his head. "Thanks for the wakeup call,"
"No worries... But remember, this mission is a really crucial step in our plan. You know what you're supposed to do right?" the female voice asked,
"Yeah... I'm supposed to find a needle in a bloody haystack..." the man grunted,
"Whatever… Just get to it already, Jonah." The female voice sighed, "Also, try not to blow your cover this time ok?"
"Roger that, Jonah out," Jonah let out a heavy sigh, "Today's going to be a long day..." He stepped on the pedal as his LFO descended into the city below...
'Good morning to yet another beautiful day, world! Welcome to 133.7 Fionna music radio channel, with your host, Clapton Jones LIVE aboard the Fionna-Go! What about your ol' favorite host, Jonah Steinberg you say? Well, he's on a little personal vacation trip. So if you happen to see him drop by, make sure to give him a hearty hello! Anyways, let's get to the music shall we? This first track of the day is "Get it by Your Hands". Sit back, relax, and enjoy the beats!'
As the song began to play, a young, black haired boy jumped out of his bed with a joyful look on his face...
'Today sure is beautiful, well… just like every other day,' the boy thought to himself as he ran into the bathroom. While swaying along with the beats, he jumped into the showers and quickly changed into his daily attire; a dark green hoodie with long white pants. He then grabbed his lift board, which is coincidentally white with green stripes, and ran down the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs, a friendly face greeted the boy.
"Well, you sure do look happy as ever, Mikael," the man in a doctor's coat smiled at the boy while he was sitting down, drinking his coffee.
"Good morning to you to, Dr. Akerfeldt," Mikael smiled at the man who chuckled at the response he was given.
"How many times have I told you that I preferred you to call me James?" James Akerfeldt replied. "So you are heading into town I see," Mikael nodded in response as he went to grab a piece of toast.
"Good, could you do me a favor of getting me some more medical supplies for the clinic?" James gave him a handful of cash. "These are just some extra cash if you want to get yourself some parts for that Lift board you're working on there,"
"Thankyou...Mr. James," Mikael emphasized the name in a joking tone as he covered his head with the hood, and James laughed at the comment.
"No problem, kiddo... now get going... time waits for no one!" James followed Mikael out of the door. Mikael ran for a distance to get enough speed as he jumped onto his lift board and rode into the town.
"Heh, kids these days, I tell ya," James smiled as he shook his head as he walked back into the Clinic.
'Every living creature has memories of its own... I am no different. My name is Mikael Anderson, and I'm 17 years old. I can't remember much about my past, but all I know that I was an orphan since I was a young boy. My parents were killed in Warsaw during the past civil war, but what they looked like never really crossed my mind. Afterwards, Dr. Akerfeldt took me in and raised me. He tells me every day that I'm a special gift from the One Above. He was the only one that accepted me for my emerald green eyes and really pale white skin, and he raised me just like how any other parent would raise a child...
Mikael traveled along the road to the city on his lift board; enjoying the windy breeze and the warmth of the sun. The grass rocked back and forth steadily along with the wind as the sky was moving continuously in the same direction. He continued on until he began to enter the city.
'The city of Geridia, the current home to me for my whole life, is always a thriving haven to those who love to make a good profit. This market city is located near the busy ley-lines, making it more crowded than ever. I'm enjoying my every second of every minute of my time in this city... I am absolutely in love with this city...' Mikael smiled as he looked at the great city in the horizon...
'I absolutely despise this city; this is the cesspool of humanity. Sure, it's the central of commerce and the thriving port of every trader, but it has always been plagued with corruption and sin. The town's people licked the feet of the rich and powerful who rule over them like gods. What right does a man to proclaim oneself a god? Just thinking about that sickens me everyday... Well, I hope I find what we are looking for and get out of this place as soon as possible...'
Jonah was driving on the road towards Geridia on his LFO in vehicle mode. He took out an old photograph of a boy in the United Federation army uniform. The boy appeared to have black hair with strange green eyes...
"I'm going to find you, no matter what it takes..." he said to himself as he speeded his motorbike-like LFO into the city...
"Thank you; come again soon! And please send my deepest gratitude to Dr. Akerfeldt!" The medicine store owner waved as Mikael left the store.
"I will Julie! See you later!" he yelled back as he ran onto his lift board once again. He continued to the outskirts, leaving the city.
"Well, I have a couple of hours left before the sun sets... what should I do now? Hmmm... Well, I guess I can go to my favorite lifting spot... the trapar currents are great today. I can feel it!" Mikael said to himself as he turned left on the road. Along the road, he continued his thoughts...
'As much as I love this city, I am having this growing hunger for real adventure. I always wanted to leave this city and I don't know... make a difference. Every time I think about it, I always feel jealous of the hero Renton Thurston... who left his boring life in Bellforest behind to start a new journey that changed his life forever. He returns a hero along with the love of his life, Eureka. Their love for each other gives the world good reason as why Coralians and Humans can and should co-exist with each other. No one has heard about them for a while though... Man, I really wish I could be in his shoes for once... But come on, I'm just a normal boy who is probably going to be stuck in this dead-end city for the rest of my life anyways...' He sighed as he stared aimlessly forward along the roads.
He quickly realized that there was a large bike-like vehicle heading towards him at fast speed.
"YIKES!" Mikael quickly pulled his board up to jump over the vehicle.
"CRAP!" Jonah yelled inside the cock-pit as he made a hard right turn to avoid hitting the incoming Lifter. He heard a loud bash on the side of his cock-pit, but before he realized what was going on... his vehicle skipped, slid and fell to its side.
The end of Mikael's board smashed against the vehicle with full force, sending him flying to the ground...
"Owww," Mikael groaned as he slowly got up. The first thing he noticed was that his lift board was smashed into two. There right before his eyes, the two large fragments of what was his Lift board. As he picked up the two pieces, a pulse of anger shot all over his body...
"HEY MISTER! DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW TO-" He was cut short when he saw the wreckage. A large bike-like vehicle was lying on the ground on its side as smoke was rising out of it. What struck Mikael's attention was not the smoke, but the appearance of the large vehicle. His eyes grew wide after he realized what he was staring at.
"Is that a... a... LFO?" He stood there, bewildered at the sight before him. The two fragments of his lift board slowly slipped off his hands. Apparently, his lift board was now the least of his worries.
Jonah coughed in the cock pit from the smoke after his LFO was flipped sideways from the collision. He came to a sudden shock when he remembered that he collided with a Lifter, and he swiftly crawled out of his LFO to check on the Lifter. What he saw was a young man staring at him.
"HEY KID! ARE YOU AL-" Jonah froze as he came into contact with a shocking sight. There stood the boy with black hair and green eyes, just like the one in his photograph. His eyes grew wide inside his circle shades. At the same time, Mikael saw the man coming out of the LFO bike. The man appeared to have long, curly hair to the shoulders, circle shades, and a fine Zappa-style mustache. When he realized who the man was, his eyes grew with excitement...
"IT'S HIM!" They both exclaimed at each other.
Chapter 1: End
Hope you enjoy the first chapter... right now you won't meet the canon characters... not for a while at least. Please stay tune to see what happens!
P.S. I would be impressed if you could point out some of the allusions and references I put in this chapter. (Hint: it started even from the chapter name!)
