Chapter 2
The First Problem and Assistant
It had been a few days since The Guardian had arrived on Earth. He had become good friends with the people of Adairville, Kentucky. Though he desired a calm life today he was going to be forced into work once again…
The Guardian walked through town on a peaceful stroll. People waved and greeted him as he walked on through town. His gun was slung underneath his coat and the knife was tied around his boots. Then he stopped and saw something he never had seen on Earth. Two robotic figures in cloaks were kidnapping a man. "Somebody Help!" The man called as he was being held against his will. "Give us the Data Shard." Replied the robotic figures. "I don't know what you're talking about!" He said. Then in the blink of an eye, the first figure was missing a large part of his robotic cranium. His companion turned only to have a knife go straight into his left eye. "Retreat. Retreat." The survivor said as he tried to leave but he was kicked to the ground and stabbed again by the knife which had been pulled out by a suited man. "Come with me!" The guardian said as he pulled the man out of the alley to a safer place. "What was that?" The man asked. "They are robotic assassins that are cheaply built." The guardian said. "Who are you?" The man asked. "I am The Guardian." He replied. "So, what happened to you before I came along?" The Guardian asked. "I was walking down the street. When I was followed by one of them and I ran into the alley and another grabbed me." The man replied. "Okay let me take a look at this little thing." The guardian pulled a circuit from his knife and scanned it with the screwdriver. "This technology is too advanced!" He said. "How advanced?" The man asked. "This would be like finding a machine gun from this time in the Roman Empire." The guardian replied. "Well how'd it get here?" The man asked. "What's your name fellow?" The guardian said while looking at the circuit. "I…I am Chris. Chris Stephens." Chris replied. "Well Chris I will need your help on this investigation." The guardian said finally turning back to Chris.
"We need to get back to my place where we can get this analyzed." The guardian finished as the two headed out to his TARDIS. They arrived at the tree. "You live here?" Chris said confused. "No, this is just the outside let me open her up. He snapped his fingers and a section of bark opened and they stepped in. "Wow. Where did you get something like this?" Chris said as he marveled at the interior. "I'll explain later. For now, I need to put this into the analyzer." He said as he put the circuit into a machine off a bit from the console. "Well we have our answer. Those things were androids capable of being remotely operated." The Guardian said. "So can we find the owner of those metal freaks?" asked Chris. "Well first we need to find what their after. What was it?" The guardian turned around at Chris. "Something called a data shard." Chris saw The Guardian's eyes widen. "Oh my god. A data shard!? Those are incredibly dangerous!" the Guardian raced towards the door and it opened but before he ran Chris spoke up. "Guardian! What does that shard do?" Chris said catching up. The Guardian turned round and looked at Chris with a very serious look. "Chris this shard is a data container and it can be used for mental programming. One person could manipulate the mind of all the billions of people on the planet into mindless drones. Now, we must find it before it's too late." So The Guardian raced away with Chris in toe.
The guardian scanned around town and sensed a very advanced technology. "It's in that building." The Guardian said after pointing to a derelict warehouse. "That was an old storehouse when the horse carts ran through this place." Chris said. "Well we best go looking about. Someone not of this world placed that shard in here." The guardian replied as they worked rummaging through the storehouse. They fumbled through crates and hay until Chris felt something. He pulled out a blue glowing prism made of crystal. "That's it!" The Guardian picked it up and put it in a suit pocket. "Well now al we got to do is-"He was cut off by the sound of a weapon charging up. "Give me that shard." Said a voice as it stepped forward. The guardian looked up to see some sort of biomechanical humanoid holding a laser rifle.
"Who are you might I ask?" The guardian said with a smirk as he stepped in front of Chris. "I am Gasdar. I am here on behalf of the Cyberzian Empire." The cyborg replied. "Well I must admit I have never heard of you. Cyber men but no Cyberzians. Anyway I am afraid we can't just give you this." Said The Guardian. Gasdar raised the rifle towards The Guardian's head. "Well then I will take it the easy way." Gasdar cocked back the rifle and prepared to fire. "Catch!" The Guardian said as he swiftly reached for his knife and threw it into the rifle barrel splitting the end of the barrel. "What!" Gasdar said as The Guardian pulled out his modified B.A.R. "Well it seems the bargaining is over. You threatened to kill me and my friend." He said walking his rifle to Gasdar's head. "Please spare me!" Gasdar said through shock and fear. "You expect mercy after your little stunt? I have no mercy left" The guardian said as he pulled the trigger and Gasdar collapsed to the ground with a hole in his head the size of a large orange. "Woah. That was extreme." Said Chris. The Guardian turned around with sadness. "If you don't want to follow me after this, then I understand but I must leave." The Guardian said as he turned away and walked towards the forest on the town outskirts.
He arrived at his TARDIS and was about to step in but he heard a voice. "Guardian! Wait for me!" Chris said running up with a pack on his back and some combat gear in the form of a pistol, shotgun and a military grade combat knife. "I thought you wanted to stay here?" The guardian said hugging his comrade. "I have seen combat too Guardian. I served in the Second World War so I know mercy is very rare on the battle field. I am ready to go!" He said with a happy grin on his face. "Well let's go!" The two then stepped into The Guardian's TARDIS and stepped to the console. "Well new world new timelines. I am going to set her to random!" The guardian slammed down a big blue button and his TARDIS shook around heading off to the next adventure…
