Alright, where do I begin? My name is Miles, Miles Upshur, don't you forget! The things about me you ask? Nothing much, except I'm pretty much in my late twenty's, twenty-six to be precise. I've been a Journalist for about four years now, it's my thing. I've lived in the city of Toronto for as long as I can remember. But the thing I've had for a long time was, this grudge against this company, MWF. They took someone away from me, she was very precious…I don't want to go into further detail, but ANYWAY! After years of researching, and people telling me to just 'Let Them Be, they're doing nothing wrong.'
Today's the day I finally do it.
So, there I am, right? Sitting at home, after a day of work, in my housecoat after a shower. It was boring reporting, managing other stories that other people's stories, all that good stuff. It's 6:15 PM, and I'm sitting in my living room on my laptop, just browsing...I suddenly go to my email and log in, there was this one e-mail that made my eyes glow.

Subject: MWF activity/Hurt
Mr. Upshur, you don't know me, have to make this quick. MWF may be monitoring but seriously, SCREW THEM! I have been working with them for too long, to realize that the work we do is wrong. Facilities beneath the wretched bowels of Alexander Nigma High. Doctors talking about a dream, to discover the answers, from an ancient artifact. PLEASE! I can't be working for the bad guy anymore! I'm DONE!
It needs to be exposed.
So, finally someone is going to say something about MWF. This could be a phony e-mail, but I'm bored, and I need something to do. Plus A. Nigma High is my old school, so this should be fun. I haven't been there in a while, plus I heard a lot of things. The Press was going on for weeks last month about a boy named Lee Ping, who did this prank. So enough chit-chat, let's go to work!
I put on my favorite set of clothes, a pair of blue jeans held by a belt, a white buttoned shirt, and a brown jacket. I also took something out of my cupboard, my Camcorder, and a couple batteries. It's a Spatlin HDD Night View, Full 1080P HD Recording, Night Vision, HUGE memory card, the battery's don't really drain when Night Vision is disabled, water proof, plus it's easy to reload, and it's all kept in the camera at once, with a limit of seven batteries. What more could you want? The batteries are just the normal ones, nothing to fancy, so I don't have to worry about one specific battery.
I was ready...
I grabbed my car keys, took a step out of my house, and unlocked my car sitting in the driveway. My vehicle is a two passenger-seated Red 1987 Jeep Wrangler, to me it's a pretty good car, it's decent, even though there are other cars I could get. I entered my vehicle, looked my Press Pass attached to the front rear-view mirror, put my Camcorder and batteries on the passenger seat, put the keys in the ignition, and backed out of my driveway. The drive wasn't too long, it passed while I tuned the radio to a classic rock station. I was actually surprised, I haven't been to A. Nigma High for so long. I just didn't bother driving by. There was this fence that was surrounding the school, I mean, the whole Prank thing I heard about was insane, but this is a whole new level!
"Maybe this is it." I thought.
I parked my car near the sidewalk, and turned off the ignition. I look to the passenger seat, and grab the batteries with my right hand, putting it on my right. Then the camcorder with my right. I adjusted it so, that my hand was in the support strap of the camera. I loaded the batteries in the slots, opened the viewing frame, and turned it on, which I activated Recording. I first tested the zoom by zooming into my Press Pass, it looked good. Next was, the night vision, it looked good. Everything was A-OK! The last thing I need was, my leather holster. I took that out of one of the storage compartments, attached it to my belt, on the right. I placed the camera inside the holster, I knew that the camera wouldn't fall out. Everything was good, I stepped out of my vehicle, and of course, took my keys and locked the door.
I just stared for a brief moment at the fence while putting my car keys away. I took out the camera, and looked straight up, it was a guard tower with a robot that looked like a blue-eye. I also had a notepad and pen for keeping my thoughts, that's what I did, quickly.
Alexander Nigma High, seemed like a nice place when I came here years ago. Then I'm hearing about this kid who did this prank, and all these crazy things! Now a fence is surrounding my old school is the perfect example. Guard towers for security. Is this a high security prison, or a school? There's gotta be a story here, but what does this have to do with MWF? Is someone trying to keep something out, or in?
I went up to the front gate, and it was big gap that I could easily jump through. I put my camera away, and jumped through, and raised it again. suddenly I was hearing the voice of a girl, I hid in some bushes nearby.
"My name is Tina, not news nerd! And I've been frozen in crystal, brainwashed, and chased by robot janitors, I think I can handle sneaking into school!"
I took a couple steps back, then suddenly, I was finding myself falling down into an abyss. I quickly put my camera in it's holster, then I noticed a wooden latter, that I grabbed, but the step snapped, and I fell. I thought I was going to fall even further down, but I just landed right there, on the ground. I then made some more notes.
Falling down deep in the rabbit hole. That young girl I heard was talking about robot janitors, brainwashing, and being frozen in crystal. What kind of job did I take? How insane is this going to get? It looks like I can't go back the way I came, so I better start gathering intel.
I looked and saw a dark tunnel. This is why I have a night vision Camcorder. I start to go down the tunnel. After wandering around aimlessly, getting useless footage of me running around in the dark, and my first battery almost drained, I noticed an electric door, it was pure electricity I disabled night vision, and went up to it. I saw some weird creatures, some weird hazmat looking robots with these guns. I jotted down more of my thoughts.
So, we got a pyramid, some weird advanced technology, and cyborg animals! This is it! Now, how do I get inside?
I hold the camera in my hands thinking, "How am I going to pass?"
"Who are you?"
I turned around, and saw three teenagers. There was a boy, with red- WAIT A MINUTE? Lee Ping? This is the young teenager who apparently got busted for a prank at the beginning of school last month. I saw a picture of him online. He was holding an arm that looked like the arm of the robots. There were two teenage girls. One who had hair in a bangs-style, wearing a dress shirt, with a red jacket covering it. The second had red hair, in a pony-tail, wearing mainly green clothing, she was holding this weird book.
"I'm-"
My introduction was cut off with the sounds of metal hitting the ground.
"Hide." Lee said.
We hid in this opening in the wall, and I saw a big half robot man with a military uniform. Lee and his other two friends went inside the room, and hid behind a crate. I decided to follow with my camera up. I saw a big looking, dark-skinned man, and this light-skinned woman, dressed in black. There was this woman with blonde hair, and wearing purple.
"Like seriously, who are you?" The red haired girl asked.
"I'm hear for a reason." I said.
"Jenny, he's probably here to help us." The dark haired girl said.
"I heard you guys upstairs, are you the one who's named Tina?" I asked.
"Yes..." Tina said with astonishment,
"Ok, then what are you?" Jenny asked.
"Shh." Lee said pointing near the pyramid.
I saw the big man opening up a brief case.
"What's in there?" Lee said.
The man then took out these two yellow circular objects.
"They have both keys!" Lee said.
"What's exactly is going on here?" I asked.
"Jenny, what happens when the pyramid is opened?" Lee asked.
Tina, and Lee bent down to look at the book with the other girl, which now I caught her name as Jenny. I was still pointing the camera towards the pyramid.
"Either the world ends, or you get heat-ray vision, not sure which." Jenny said.
They looked with me, but I think they were more focused on my camera a little more than the pyramid.
"This is a chance to be part of history! Give me the keys!" The black-suited woman said.
"No, this is my moment!" The big man said.
"Let go!" They told each other.
Then the woman stepped on the mans feet and took the keys and put them in these key holes in the pyramid. She turned the keys, but this weird glowing blue eye-ball appeared at the top of the pyramid and zapped the woman, who fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Is she?" Tina asked.
"Lee quick, who are these people?" I asked.
Lee explained that these people were part of this 'Council'. He told me the cyborg military man was named Barrage, the principal of the school, and he was under their control. The woman in purple was named Cassandra, head of the Council.
"She's alive!" The man said checking her.
"Hallelujah! I guess you haven't opened the pyramid yet?" Cassandra said.
"But all my research points to needing the two keys!" The man said.
"All my research points to you not delivering, now pick up those keys and open it!" Cassandra said.
"No, we should hold out! Besides, this woman needs a doctor!" The man said.
"Now you care for her?" Cassandra said.
"Okay, that did not just happen!" Tina said.
"Just like the teacher in detention!" Jenny said.
I sat down, putting my camera away, and wrote in my notebook, and Cassandra and her allies left.
Pyramid under the school appears to be dangerous. According to the tip, that's the woman I'm looking for. And these kids seem to be trying to stop her! I wonder how long I'm going to be here getting everything. I could easily expose the footage I have to the world, but even more would work better to bring down those bastards!
"Alright, shows over! Let's go!" Lee said.
Lee, Tina, and Jenny headed to the forcefield and raised it. I also followed along, but recorded one last thing. I filmed Barrage, who looked confused. Lee did say he was in some sort of trance.
"What in cherry red tomatoes am I doing here!" He said.
I wrote some more notes.
This military man must have been tricked into working with them. Is this what Tina was talking about? Brainwashing? Is it for real?
I followed Lee, down the tunnels, to a door, which it opened up to the library. We basically hauled ass out of the school, and we got out. I went into my car, and the three looked into my window.
"Okay, see you around." I said.
"We still don't know who you are!" Tina said.
I took my Press Pass, and showed it to them.
"At least we got another reporter at our side, and he's a professional! But how anyway? Right? Oh well..." Lee said.
"Yeah, at least we do...Wait, how do we know if it isn't fake?" Tina said.
"Look, I'll be around A. Nigma for some time, I'll be around. This is one of the most craziest things I've ever witnessed and captured, so if you need me, then here."
He then took out a card, which had my name and my e-mail address.
"I have one more question, do you trust me?" I ask them.
They gave a slight nod, I think they still had doubts.
"Remember, this ain't over." I said.
I just drove away, back home. I knew that I wanted and needed more, considering the rest of Toronto Press may not take one piece of footage seriously. I need more.
Lee's house...
Lee was on video call with Biffy.
"Where've you been? I have super bad news!" Biffy said.
"Yeah, sort of already know." Lee said.
"But get this, I think we've got the Press on our side!" Lee said.
He showed him the card Miles gave him.
"You mean like the news, the guys on TV?" Biffy asked.
Lee gave a nod.
"So, is he going to help us expose this stuff for us?" Biffy asked.
Lee gave a quick look at the , his door suddenly opened, it was his mom.
"Lee? Your up and feeling better!" His mom said.
Lee put the card away quickly.
"Yup!" Lee said.
"So, now you need to clean up downstairs!" His mom said holding a broom.
"But I'm in the middle of-"
"Your friend Lee is going to have to speak to you tomorrow! Bye!" His mom said turning off the video chat.
Lee went downstairs and cleaned up. He was thinking to himself.
Man, what a day! What happened to that lady? How am I going to get my key back? And, is Miles Upshur really going to help us? I don't know, his Press Pass looked convincing, but who knows, Tina could be right, maybe it's fake. Either way, he filmed all that! I hope that this isn't too good to be true!
