Chapter 2: Introductions are boring.

By the way, this story changes perspectives with each chapter. It goes from Jarred, the idiot in suspenders, to me, the badass wreaking havoc wherever I go. Which sounds better? Me, right? IT FUCKING BETTER. And, that idiot insists that I have electricity as a power. It's not. I control lightning, sounds much cooler that way. And, I don't control metal, I control earth. As in the ground and everything in it. So I guess you could say that technically, I can control metal, but it's more than that. Anyways, TO THE STORY!

Yeah, I crashed the ship. There was this big button and….it was just so shiny, I couldn't help but to touch it. Turns out that was shuffle. Nothing like a good crash to empty your stomach in the morning. Speaking of which;

"Outta my way!" I yelled, shoving Jarred back into the ship as I burst out the doors, emptying my stomach onto the lawn. Well, it wasn't really a lawn, not anymore. It was more of a crater now.

"I've always hated that awful taste in your mouth after you hurl." I muttered, looking up, only to see that there was the tip of a bronze sword pointed at my face. I followed the blade up to look at a boy dressed in full bronze combat armor.

"Who are you?" The boy growled. Another wave of nausea hit me, and I held up a finger, pointing my face back at the ground and groaning.

"Ooooh, that was fun." I said, straightening up, and holding up the whole Spock hand gesture. "Greetings from Earth, Spacelings." I said with a grin, then frowning when I thought about what I just said. "Waitaminute. That's not right. JARRED! HOW DO YOU SAY HELLO?"

"HELLO, GODDAMMIT!" Jarred yelled from the entrance to our ship. I grinned at the boy in armor.

"Hello. How are you today?" I asked. He stared at me confused, and then shook his head, opening and closing his mouth, completely speechless.

"Chiron?" The boy called.

"Hey, I don't think we landed on anyone this time! Much different than last time we crash landed." I said, looking at the bottom of our ship.

"Oh, that's good!" Jarred yelled from inside the ship. "But I think we broke something in here."

"CHIRON!" The boy yelled. I turned to look at him, noticing that more and more similarly clad people were showing up, all gaping at me and my box. Then I saw the strange horse/dude. He had an arrow knocked on his bow, and was casually aiming it at me, as if to say 'play nice or I will shoot you.' Unlucky for him, I never play nice.

"Jarred!" I yelled over my shoulder.

"What now? I'm a little busy cleaning up your mess!" He yelled. The horse guy studied me, and turned towards the boy.

"What's the horse dude's name?" I asked. There was a bang, and Jarred cursed, stumbling out of the ship.

"Oh, for fucks sake, his name is Chiron, dumbass. Chiron." He said. I nodded.

"Right. I knew that." I said. Jarred sighed and shook his head.

"I swear, you couldn't remember what you ate for breakfast this morning if I wasn't here to remind you." Jarred said. I scratched the back of my head.

"What did I have for breakfast this morning?" I asked. Jarred face palmed.

"Bacon and pancakes, man. Bacon and pancakes." He said. I nodded, and looked at the mass of bronze weapons in front of me.

"Now, don't worry, we come in peace." Jarred said, before glancing at me. "Well, I do, but I can't speak for this dumbass. You never really know what's going through his head." I grinned maliciously.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Someone said from the crowd. Before I could say anything, Chiron spoke.

"The real question is; who are you, and how did you get here?" He said.

"Uh, well, I'm Nathan, and this is Jarred." I said, indicating myself and Jarred. "And we are space, time, universe, traveler guys who kick ass and uh we, well, we crash landed. Here. In the middle of your war-game session thingy. Which also happens to be here. Soooo….yeah." I said, looking at Jarred and nodding.

"Yeah. Right. And we're supposed to believe that?" The boy who had pointed a sword at my face asked. He still had his sword leveled at me for some reason.

"No, you're not. We're actually here to kill you all. Bwahahahahahaha!" I laughed maliciously, thunder booming and the ground shaking. (All of that was totally not my doing, I swear. I wouldn't make thunder boom and the ground shake to seem more terrifying, I promise.) (Yes. That was sarcasm.) A ball of metal interrupted my session by hitting me in the stomach. I glared at Jarred.

"What was that for?" I asked indignantly. He scowled at me.

"You're scaring them! We're supposed to be friends with these guys, remember?" He said. I stuck out my lower lip and pouted, sitting cross legged on the ground.

"You know, sometimes you are just no fun." I said. Jarred shook his head at me.

"Save it, dumbass. What he said the first time is true. Not so much the killing thing. We'll save that for anything that is TRYING to kill us." He said, glaring at the kid who STILL had his sword in my face. What's his problem? "That blue box over there is our spaceship. Got damaged during our spontaneous landing because dumbass over there hit the 'randomize' button. Fried the engines. It'll fix itself, but it will take some time." Jarred explained. Chiron studied us, and the sword guy stepped forward.

"What kind of story is that?! Do you honestly think that will come across as even remotely possible?!" He said. Chiron stepped forward and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Calm down. Let's hear their whole story before we jump to any conclusions." Chiron said. The boy stared up at him open mouthed.

"Are you joking?!" The boy said. Chiron stared at Jarred, his eyes glazing over for a second in thought.

"There have been rumors….." He trailed off, and shook his head. "Either way, Capture the Flag is over. Campers will return to their cabins, while the cabin leaders meet in the Big House. You two will join us." The campers muttered, and Chiron glared around at them. "Well? Get going." He said. They filtered off in a rustle of armor, all eyeing us suspiciously as they went. Only Chiron and the cabin leaders remained. Chiron turned his attention towards us.

"Now, you will come with us. And you would be wise to remember; if you try anything, it will end badly for you." He said. I yawned and stood up.

"Doubt it. But I like your attitude! Let's go." I said with a grin, cracking my knuckles. "This'll be fun!"
