Yo.
New chapter, New character, Same craziness
Sorry I'm jumping ahead before you send me your ideas. I already had this chapter pretty much planned out.
Enjoy
Neil was flying through what appeared to be a tunnel of time and space. Planets flew past him at incredible quickness, which gave him the impression that he was in space. Yet if he was in space, why was he not suffocating from lack of oxygen. He tried to look at all the planet's he was passing, yet for some reason, he was finding it impossible to move any part of his body.
Suddenly, a circle of light appeared front of him. He hit it full force⦠and found himself hitting dirt. Neil started rolling down some hill, finally laying to rest at the bottom. He sat up and started looking around.
It appeared he had left District 10 altogether, yet it looked like something entirely different altogether. Neil had this nostalgic feeling that wherever this place was, it was somewhere that would shock him completely. Finding a foot trail of some sort, he brushed the dirt of his clothes, adjusted his hair, put his iPod on, and started walking.
After an hour, he saw something that completely shocked him: a city built in what if by all indications a giant crater. Every building was positioned close to each other. Towers and spires doted the interior, and residential settings were spread out in various parts. All the building had one thing in common: Neil hadn't seen any kind of architecture like that in his life.
Great Neil though. I'm stuck on some planet I've never even heard of. Well, hope the species that lives on this planet speaks English.
Suddenly, the sound of energy weapons firing up sounded behind him. Slowly, he put his hands up.
*Turn around* a voice said.
Eyes dilating, he turned around and saw a few Poleepkwas pointing guns at him. But these weren't like the Poleepkwas at District 10. They were wearing black spandex that Neil assumed was some sort of elite guard suit.
*Hands behind your head* one of them said.
Neil did as he was told, and the Guards grabbed him and strapped him into some sort of restraint harness. He was then taken to one tower, which Neil assumed was for royalty, and thrown into some sort of jail cell. They gave him sort of brown jump suit and force him to take off his backpack, clothes, and whatever pulled back his hair. Neil slowly changed into the jump suit and when he was done, the guards took his stuff and left.
Neil stood there for a while taking in what just happened. A couple of hours ago, he arrived at D10 hoping to find his uncle. Now he was stuck in a jail cell on what if by all indication was the Poleepkwa Home world. He sat down on the floor and waited for something to happen.
After a couple of hours or so, the guards return. They unlock his cell and put the harness back on him.
*Our glorious king requests your presence. Consider this an honor* the lead guard informed him.
"Ok. Honor accepted" Neil said calmly.
The guards looked at each other in obvious amazement.
*No alien species has deciphered our language so quickly. How do you know it* one guard asked.
"Stick around when I'm interrogated by your king. You just might learn something" Neil shrugged.
The guards lead him through a series of passageways. After a while they made it through to the king's chamber. Neil walked in and gasped.
The entire room was designed like a cathedral. White pillars, white statues, everything seemed to glow in a white light. At the far end sat a group of Poleepkwa that appeared to be some sort of council. In the middle of the group sat their king.
Neil was impressed. Not many people he met wore royal purple, but this guy made it work. His robes hung down so far that he had a hard time telling where his feet ended and the floor began.
*Release him* the king ordered. The guards quickly detached the harness and it fell to the ground with a hard thud.
The lead guard went up to the king and kneeled to the ground. When the king allowed him to rise, the guard went forward and whispered something to him.
*How peculiar* the king said.
Neil just stood there. He had no clue what was going on, or why he was there. One thing was certain: things were looking up for him.
*I apologize for the treatment the guards gave you* the king spoke to him. *None have ever seen your species before, so we took your presence as a threat. I understand it that you can tell what I'm saying*.
"Yes" Neil said.
*Then allow me to be the first to welcome you to our world, Poleepax Prime.* the king said. *My name is Myraxia*.
"Neil" Neil said.
*Might I asked how you ended up on our planet* Myraxia asked.
"Uh, ok" Neil said. "I have to warn you though that there are parts of this story that you might not like".
*And what are these parts* Myraxia asked, his voice becoming stern.
Neil proceeded to telling Myraxia of how his people ended up stranded on Earth, how they had been mistreated by the South African government, how MNU had used them for experiments so they could use Poleepkwa weaponry, his uncles transformation into one of them, and How Christopher Johnson and his son escaped to get help. Myraxia, the council members, and the guards were deeply shocked by how their people ended up.
*Before we discuss this matter further, might I ask why we should trust you human* a council member said. *For instance, why couldn't you join one of these supposed alien rights groups*.
"Because it wouldn't make a difference if I did" Neil said. "See, after this documentary came out, a lot of countries, including where I'm from, were really pissed that this was happening. A couple months ago, international pressure had forced MNU to help your guys better than how they were treating them now".
Myraxia turned to his council members and they started talking in hushed voices. After a while they turned back to Neil.
*We have decided, out of sympathy toward your uncle and the desire to protect peace, that we will not punish you for your species actions* Myraxia said. *Nor will we declare war on your planet*.
Neil gave a sigh of relief.
*However, if you are to truly earn our trust, you must first suffer the fate that has fallen onto Wikus and become one of us*.
"Ok" Neil said. In truth he had hoped he would still keep his good looks and become an actor when he got back to Earth. But he realized that in order to even survive long enough to get back home, keeping his looks were the least of his problems.
*The transformation procedure will begin tomorrow morning* Myraxia said. *You have the rest of the day to yourself. Your personal belongings as well as your new clothes will be in the room we have set up for you. Accommodations have been set up to allow your stuff to work with our energy. Guards, show out guest to his quarters*.
The guards bowed and quickly ushered Neil to his new home. After an even longer series of passages down the tower, he reached his room. It wasn't as big as Myraxia's, but it still was very roomy. The only real exception was the bed, which looked more like a nest with a few pillows and blankets thrown on them than anything. The lead guard notices this.
*We apologize if there is anything you might not be use to* he said. *We have no clear way of knowing what the people of your planet use. Well, see you in the morning*.
Neil walked out to the terrace. Night had already fallen on the planet and several of the planet's seven moons glowed in the sky. He sighed and began writing in his journal.
June 14, 2011
'Today was full of shocks. I had managed to find my uncle, but was unexpectedly sent to the Poleepkwa home world, Poleepax Prime. Their king, Myraxia, says I have to become a Poleepkwa in order to fully earn his respect. These next couple of months are going to be really hectic, but I'm going to enjoy every moment of it'.
Neil closed the journal, went over to the nest, and tried to get comfortable as he went to sleep.
Wow. This is the longest chapter I think I've ever written. Hope you like it
I've also reformatted how Neil's journal entries work because the old method I tried didn't work too well
R&R plz
NITRO PSYCHO OUT!
