DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN "EVENT HORIZON" OR ANY CHARACTERS NOT RELATED TO THIS MOVIE. EXCEPT MY OCs
I THOUGHT I POST CHAPTER 2 AT THE SAME SO THAT WAY I CAN KEEP FOCUSING ON "FINN THE RED".
NO FLAMES PLEASE :D
After boarding, the Erebus started heading towards the direction where the Event Horizon is. The crew, whom still know nothing of this, were doing last updates on the ship.
"Ion Drive set",said Gumball
"Thank you",replied Errol typing on the control panel,"Heading: Vector One, 9 degrees."
"We are prepped for lockdown",said Talwyn
"This is ridiculous",said Errol with a pissed off tone,"I haven't got more than my hand in the last 6 weeks, and now this shit.
"Come on, Errol",said Gumball
"I mean seriously Captain, why can't we go to Venus?",asked Errol,"There's women there."
"Errol's right",said Talwyn," I mean Neptune is a wasteland."
"Exactly",said Errol agreeing with her
Turning around in the Captain's chair is Cedric Middleton.
"You know the rules guys",said Cedric,"When someone in Command drops the ball, we come in and fix. Now let's go."
Everyone resumed their position.
"Do you have our course plotted in Talwyn?",asked Cedric
"Yes, Captain."
"Errol?",asked Cedric
"Locked and loaded."
"How about you, Gumball?",asked Cedric
"Everything's green on my screen skipper."
"Start the countdown now",said Cedric talking to Talwyn
"All set",said Talwyn
"Thank you, Lieutenant",replied Cedric
"Auto pilot, engage",said Errol
"Let's go", ordered Cedric the getting off his seat
"Errol, you follow me",requested Talwyn
"Yes mam",replied Errol
"Get those tanks prepped Gumball",ordered Cedric
"Yes, sir."
Everyone left the cockpit to meet up with the rest of the crew. Cedric entered one room. He sees Ratchet coming up to him.
"Ratchet",said Cedric
"Hey skipper",replied Ratchet with a happy tone
They both high five each other.
"Ion Drive in 10 minutes",said Cedric letting him know
"Ooh. it's time to play spam-in-the-can",said Ratchet
Cedric climbed up the ladder to meet up with everyone else, who were getting ready for sleep. He noticed Gumball's mother, Nicole, coming by with tubes.
"Captain",said Nicole
"Nicole",said Cedric
After climbing up, Cedric was stopped by Miles Prower.
"Captain Miller, I just wanted to say that this is something-"
"Clock is ticking doctor",said Cedric interupting him, then looks at Errol
"You waiting for a personal invitation there Errol?"
"No sir."
"Captain, I don't want to take up any-"
"Doctor, if you'll just follow the rest of the crew to the grav tanks, we're almost underway",said Cedric interupting Doctor Miles again
He walked around and noticed Nicole and Ratchet.
"That bunk better be squared away Ratchet or you'll find yourself walking to Neptune",said Cedric warning him and looking at Nicole,"What's the hold up Nicole?"
"Just loading the couple of the CO2 scrubbers sir",replied Nicole
The crew and Dr. Prower were heading to the grav tanks. The men were stripped to their boxers while the women are wearing their sports bra and undergarments. Then Nicole was escorting Miles to one of the grav tanks. Of course, someone already took the liberty of labeling Dr. Prowers name to one of them but this label said "Tails",like a nickname due to his twin tails.
"You stand right here",instructed Nicole as she walked to open the tank. Then came back. She noticed Dr. Prower felt uneasy.
"First time?",asked Nicole
"Yeah",replied Miles
She still noticed his discomfort
"Something wrong?",asked Nicole
"I think your Captain has some kind of problem with me",whispered Miles trying not to let Cedirc hear.
"Oh, well don't worry about him",said Nicole reassuring him,"He just loves having complete strangers on his ship."
Then she called T.J.
"T.J."
"On it",replied T.J. knowing what to do
T.J. goes over to Dr. Prower with a needle.
"Are those really necessary?",asked Miles
"When the Ion Drive fires, you'll be taking about 30 G's",explained T.J. while injecting something to Dr. Prower's neck
Miles groans from the injection.
"Without a tank, the force would liquefy your skeleton",said T.J. warning him
"I've seen the effect on mice",said Miles
Dr. Prower then enters the tank. As both sides close, T.J. asked something.
"Claustrophobic?"
"Not really",replied Miles
Water fills up the tank and everyone fell asleep.
.
.
.

56 days later. The Erebus was still on route to Neptune. Inside everything was quiet until some random voice was calling out to Dr. Prower.
"Miles"
Hearing it force Miles to wake up in his tank. He looked to the left and right and noticed everyone else still in theirs. Soon the water was drained. After existing, he looked around the room and it was silent like a graveyard minus the crew. Then he heard something.
"I'm so alone."
"Hello?",asked Miles feeling nervous,"Is anyone there?"
He walked to the next room and was startled when one of the crew's bunk door/sliders going up for no reason. He then pressed on to the bridge. As he enters, he looked around 'til he saw someone sitting in one of the chairs.
Miles approached the person and this time he heard the voice and it was female.
"Miles?",asked the unknown woman
Miles was having an uncomfortable feeling that he knew who the voice belong to.
"I'm so cold",said the unknown woman
He nervously turned the chair around and was surprised to see his dead wife, Cosmo. Her eyes were closed and she was staying still like a statue.
"Cosmo?",asked Miles not believing what he was seeing
All of a sudden, he felt someone's hand on his right shoulder. He turns around to see Cosmo on the otherside. What shocked him the most was when she opened her eye lids, there were no eye balls. It looked like someone scooped them out. Then she said something frightening.
"Come to me."
Miles started screaming, and he was also gagging something. He realised it was a dream. He was punching inside the tank trying to get out. The panels open and he got out follow by the water. He coughed alot. Nicole and T.J. came to help the doctor.
"You're alright",said Nicole trying to calm him down,"Breathe."
"Lets get you up Dr. Prower",said T.J.
"I'm fine",replied Miles
Nicole managed to help Miles up. Then T.J. was inspecting him.
"I suggest you take slowly, you've been in stasis for 56 days",requested T.J.,"And you're gonna be a little disoriented, understand?"
"Yes",replied Miles
Ratchet came to Miles and offer him some coffee but he politely turned it down it.
"Suit yourself",said Ratchet
His attension was focused on Talwyn.
"How about you Talwyn?",asked Ratchet while smirking,"Like something warm and fuzzy inside?"
Talwyn smirk back at the comment and gave Ratchet the finger.
"Is that an invitation?",asked Ratchet hoping it was
"Maybe, maybe not",said Talwyn playing hard to get
"Keep it in the bunk bed you two",yelled Gumball
"Why aren't you on the bridge Talwyn?",asked Cedric walking in already dressed in uniform
"Do you mind if I get dressed first Captain?",asked Talwyn
"Yes, as a matter fact I do, Lieutenant",replied Cedric then turning his attension to the rest of the crew,"Lets go people, we have a job to do."
After everyone, with the exception of Talwyn, got dressed they were all getting their breakfast. Nicole was busy looking at old home videos of herself with her children and her husband, Richard while Ratchet and Gumball was passing the ball to each other 'til it hit Nicole on the shoulder.
"Hey no ball in the house",said Nicole passing the ball back to them
"Sorry mom",said Gumball
She didn't notice Cedric coming up to her.
"Uh, Nicole"
"Yes, Captain",replied Nicole
He knelt down to her eye level.
"I did try to find replacements for you and Gumball, but there was nothing Command could do and I'm sorry",said Cedric feeling down
"I talked to my sister, Cecilia",replied Nicole,"She'll look after them 'til the summer, so everything's alright."
Errol came in and Ratchet called out to everyone.
"All hands on deck for Errol."
"Excuse me ladies and gentlemen, in aproximately 2 hours, we'll be arriving in the orbit of Neptune. You have the floor Captain",said Errol
"Thank you Errol",said Cedric
Before he said anything, Talwyn showed up.
"All boards are green and everythings 5x5",Reported Talwyn
"Thank you Talwyn",replied Cedric,"Has the U.C.A. been notified of our position?"
"Yes sir",replied Talwyn
"Alright people listen up",announced Cedric,"As you all know, we have an addition to our crew. Dr. Prower if you care to join us?"
Miles grabbed a seat.
Introductions all round,"said Cedric
After introductions, Ratchet ask a very obvious question.
"What the fuck are we doing out here skipper?"
"Well, perhaps the good doctor will be kind enough to tell us",replied Cedric
"Thank you",said Miles clearing his throat,"Uh, first of all I want to say how much I appreciated this opportunity to join you in on this-"
"It's for sure that you appreciate being here doctor",said Cedric interupting him with a mad tone
"But you must understand that we don't. My crew and I were taken off a well deserved shore leave to be with our family and loved ones and we're forced to be sent to Neptune space. We are now 3 billion klicks from the nearest outpost. The last time some the U.C.A. attempted a rescue this far past the out reach, two ships were destroyed. So if you please."
Miles didn't want to anger the captain so he tried to speed it up.
"Yes, you're friend, General Carmona, informed me about this recent cancelation of your vacation which I have know idea about this and I'm sorry",said Miles trying to be peaceful,"Now everything I'm about to tell you is considered CODE: BLACK by the N.S.A."
Miles told everyone about the distress beacon and mentioned that it came from the Event Horizon. As expected, most of the crew didn't believe it. So Cedric told them to settle down.
"You heard that the Event Horizon was sent to Neptune and was mysteriously destroyed. Obviously, it's untrue and between you and me I didn't believe it myself."
"Then what did happen?",asked T.J.
"I'll get to that",said Miles
So Miles explained how the Event Horizon was a secret government project. He also explained how it can travel from 1 place to another in a second. Some of the crew didn't believe that.
"Do you have any other explanation doctor?",asked Cedric raising his eye brow
"Right, well quoting Dr. Jackson's terms, we use a rotating magnetic ring that focuses each star constellation. When all are alligned-"
"Jackson's terms?"questioned Cedric while interupting him
"Fuck that",said Ratchet,"Do you speak English?"
"Let me give you an example",said Miles going to Gumball's bunk and grabbingone of his photo's,"Mind if I borrow this Mr. Watterson?"
Gumball was scared of what I took.
"Um, I don't think that's a good-"
"It'll just take a few-"
Miles stopped at what he saw, so Ratchet wanted to see what was the commotion. He grabbed the photo, smirked and showed it to everyone. It was a picture of his girlfriend, Carrie, wearing black and red lingerie in a sexy pose on her bed and there was a message on the photo which said:
"When you come back, I'm all yours.
Love,
Carrie"
It's embarrassing to have your fellow crew members look at it, especially when one of them is your own mother.
"Young man, we are definitely gonna talk about this",said Nicole taking the photo and putting it in her pocket
Errol and Ratchet both made fun of Gumball's embarrassment. Then Miles showed them the message he heard. They, minus Miles, didn't know what it was 'til he showed them the next part of the message.
"Сохранить...меня"
No one knew what language it was 'til T.J. noticed it and announced that it was Russain. He translate it and all he said was:
"Save...me."
Suddenly, the ships alarm was activated and was telling everyone that they're close to the Event Horizon. They went to their stations. They kept going forward but it was hard to see through the clouding. Then they finally reached their destination, which was good thing that they activated the thrusters to back away before crashing. They were amazed for what they saw 'til Miles broke the silence.
"Welcome everyone, to the Event Horizon."
END OF CHAPTER 2
I WONDER WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE CREW OF THE EREBUS? I GUESS WILL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND FIND OUT
ALSO I THOUGHT ADDING THAT STARGATE THING COULD BE LIKE A LITTLE MIXER.
