Everyone turns to him, he points out to the window and we all rush to see what he seen.
Right there in front of us were some Leroy clones, taking car parts and other things. I, ignoring my hunger, run out with Wolf and Stitch by my side and follow by then rest. As soon as we were out, they were out of sight. I ask questioningly, "You guys did see a bunch of Leroys here, right? It wasn't just me?"
They all nod their heads and I shout energetically, "Leroys! I know you're here, fight me!"
When no one answer, I search my surroundings for something to help me and my eyes set on a new ruby red Cadillac XLR. My disbelief face was replaced with an evil grin and I go to the car. I elbow the driver side window, unlock and set myself underneath the dashboard. Everyone was shock of me doing this, they all run to me and convince me this was a bad idea. I didn't pay them any mind, I return upright onto the seat and raring to go on a chase. I grip the bead cover steering wheel, watch my friends and gave a gesture saying, "See ya!"
The car slowly move, but as soon as it did move; it quickly stop moving and I had no idea why. I look back and I notice Stitch was holding onto the car with his strong grip. I stop the car, open the door and shout at them crossly, "What the hell was that for?"
"Marcus," Jon states open mindedly, "You don't even know where they are going and you look like you need something in you. Want to fight them and lose to rashness."
I didn't want to listen, but he was right and I hate when other people are right. I kick the street and walk up to them, feeling like a fool for attempting to stop the Leroys by myself and it was because I want to do everything by myself I ended in this mess in the first place. I say stubbornly, "I'm not that famished."
After I said that, there was a weird noise and everyone jump. They turn to me, see how I'm holding my stomach and laugh at me. I rub the back of my head with my other hand and state after getting caught, "I guess I'm hungrier than I thought I was."
We all return to the little restaurant and order some pizza. After we had some food in our stomaches I was more than ready to face the Leroys, but first we need to find out where they all decided to hide. So Jon and Sasha took his nice oxyn black Chevrolet Orlando, Blaze and Luis went into Blaze's winter white Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid and as for me, Stitch, and Wolf - we took the Cadillac again. This time, Stitch was the driver because he called dibs and Wolf was in the passenger near the driver's seat because he called shot-gun. That's why I was stuck in the back of the car, I was so waiting to drive and Stitch takes it. Oh well, anyway we lead the pack and Stitch and Wolf's noses were at work. When a few moments pass, they pick up the scent and signal the others. The long street we once knew was replaced with rough and bumpy off-road ditches. I ask wonderingly, "Why ...can't ...we ...just...walk?"
Stitch replies actively with a hint of wanting fun, "Meega ...drive, ...faster ...there. Faster ...we ...defeat ...Leroy."
The long dirt road was torturous on my stomach, I could feel everything move within me with every little bump and when we hit specific bumps, I had to swallow my food back down my throat because I close to being sick. Once the road was peaceful once more, I lay down where I was and hope to sleep the sickness I was feeling. Stitch tumultuously shakes my entire being and I open my eyes. I jump up from the back passenger and slowly check our whereabouts; which was hard considering it was in the woods and it just started to go dark. I look back and can see that everyone else made it too. I turn back around, my eyes were scaling up the building from the car and I could tell just by looking at it. This has to be the place, no doubt about it. The atmosphere engulfing the building was eerie, wicked and evil. I could feel myself shudder by looking at it, this old, tall and gigantic factory. Stitch and Wolf could feel something was wrong with that building, just wasn't sure what it was. We all get out of the car, I turn, and walk to Jon, Sasha, Luis, and Blaze. I order them strongly, "Do not and I repeat do not follow us into that infrastructure, I don't want any of you to get hurt. You hear me?"
They all nod their heads, I walk back to Wolf and Stitch. I boisterously and lowly state, "This time whoever you are, you're going down and you're not going to hurt anyone anymore." We all nod our heads and dash to the building, we decide to go through one of the open hangers and check the place out. When we were inside Stitch looks for the light switch and flicks the lights on. It was musty, dusty, crusty and plain old crumbling everywhere and I didn't like that it was so easy to get inside. That put me in high alert, we all hear a noise and get set to attack whoever made the source. When we see who it was though, I was really upset by the outcome and run up to them. I ask turbulently, "Guys, what made you think it was okay to be here?"
Jon replies like a wise-ass, "You used a double negative and everybody knows when you have two negatives, it's a positive. We decide that you want us to go on your behalf."
I shout harshly, "I used three negatives! Which means it is a negative still!"
Jon continues with his wise-ass attitude, "No you used don't and not, which means do."
I faceplam so hard I had a red mark on my face, it took my awhile to pull my hand off my face and when it was finally complete, after everything was said, I look at them worryingly.
I say with the utmost care for their safety, "You guys need to leave, pronto. Something bad is going to happen and I don't want you guys to get involve in it."
Luis comments pig-headedly, "You already had us involve the moment we all met you and now you think we're going to listen to you now, if we didn't do it before."
I just smirk at that, because they were right and I should've known they would go against what I said. All the hanger doors closed at once, the lights turn off, everyone jumps and gather into a circle. I softly say with fear and anger in my voice, "This is the exact reason why I didn't want you guys to be here!"
I add with more fear, "This reminds of that movie I once watched called "Are You Scared", the first one, where all these contestants are in the old, creepy, abandon building for some big movie thing or whatever; (I look around and notice some similarities) similar to this one, anyhow it turns out to be completely dangerous and they try to get out. They separate, the guy comes out and kills all but one girl. She lives though, yeah."
They all turn to me like I was spitting out non-sense. I affirm them calmly, "What I'm trying to say is, no matter what circumstances happen that we remain close and together. In this chance, we won't get hurt or lose one another. Time to move out."
We all move as one unit, never letting anyone one of your sight or of reach and in all truth it was getting really annoying really fast. After a few steps, I want to be free from all the group thing because I have no room and so we all decide to sit close. I ask Stitch quietly, "Stitch can't you, I don't know use your night vision and try to get the lights working? Or something?"
He replies with utmost certainty, "Ih. Meega make zid-zid, lights on and we walk. Find Leroys, stop evil plan."
We both nod our heads, he crawls away and I weakly mutter to my lonesome self, "I wish I was that confident like before when I had some of your DNA coursing in me and everything. I thought it was the very thing that will end of my life, that would be the thing to end it all. How it ended my life; funny now I would give everything to have it back."
I let out a small sign, "Can't dwell on the past, must dream for the better."
Once the lights were back on, Stitch scurries back to us and then he and Wolf raise their ears, they seem to be looking for a sound. I ask pondering if I want to know or not, "What do you hear?"
Stitch and Wolf widen their eyes, slowly opening mouths and turn to me - only to me.
I was really getting nervous by their looks and ask worryingly, "What is it?"
Stitch replies shockingly, "Meega hear Marcus, other Marcus?"
I look to them with both terror and confusion and I state adamantly, "Impossible he's dead."
Wolf disagrees with my statement and replies utterly, "Stitch naga wrong. Meega heard too."
My thoughts, 'I don't get it? They told me he went to the black hole and probably died, then the others said I died from being shot? Which the fuck is it and what in hell is going on?'
I state with bewilderment in my tone, "Really? You hear my other self, think logically here. I died, (showing two fingers) twice. Not once, but twice I died and now you say my future self miraculously survive a black hole and being shot twice need I remind you?"
They both nod and I state not listening nor wanting to believe this, "I can't believe this, it's illogical."
I walk away from everyone, grab my head and try to think how this could be possible. I turn back to them, realizing that it could be possible for him to be here and say, "Wait, he was in his alien form when he went into the black hole and a black hole is a passageway to different places and times. He could've been transported here through the hole, draining him so much he turn into human and when he was shot. He could've survive it because Stitch is bulletproof, right?"
No one speaks, I yell my question with more ferocity in tone, "He could've survive it, right?"
Jon answers nicely, "No one knows, but we'll never know if we stay here."
After that heated discussion, we silently decide to investigate this thing and Stitch and Wolf are the leaders. We climb many flights of steel machinery steps and we are still nowhere near 'me'.
I complain loudly, "Are where any closer, no offense but I'm not like you guys. I still need to readjust myself to being human."
Luis shouts angrily, "Quit complaining, everyone is tired from searching this place."
I mumble to myself, "If it were just the three of us, we would be there already."
Everyone turns to me and have an angry look on their faces. I shrug my shoulders, 'What?', they turn back and we continue walking. We go down this long corridor and at the end is this door, it was no match with the strength of Stitch. He made a big enough opening for all of us and we all rush in, not wanting to get left behind. When we near another door, it was electrically locked door and I turn to Stitch. He nods his head in confirmation that this is where 'my other self' is suppose to be. I scream like a sergeant, "Guys, we've to move and let Wolf do his thing." We all went down the corridor, except Wolf who look completely lost and I explain, "Wolf! Use your powers to short out the door so it can open!"
He finally understands it, nods his head and faces the door. He extends all his hands, all four of them, and hits the door with his electric blasts. There was a little explosion and instead of the door was a nice big hole. When we run up to him we see he is fine, the clothes on the other hand were all ripped and in tatters. He just shook the last pieces off, everyone saw his true form and I can't believe no one was at least a little shock by this. Stitch shifts his eyes to Wolf then to me, then back to Wolf and I understood what he wanted to do. I say easily, "Go ahead Stitch."
Everyone looks at him as he takes off his clothes and reveals his true form as well, once again I was hoping for some ooo or aaa. Nothing, I receive nothing of that matter. I state shockingly, "Come on guys! You're okay with this, not even a little shock?"
They all nod their heads no. I was lost by all of this. Blaze confesses, "When Sasha told me about your transformation, I went back to the news and I connect the two. It was obvious that was you in Stitch form, I mean yeah we're a little surprise at this at first. None the less, he is still the same as they describe when you changed into him. You looked like him, so we already knew about him."
He looks over his shoulder, turns back to me and softly says, "But Wolf scares me, just because of his powers."
I add wisely, "Well, they both have powers and they only use it for good. Now lets move on!"
So we all run through the broken door, we see this huge laboratory with all these tests tubes and other things. We enter into one room, there was a table with something on it and no one want to touch it. So we all silently agree to go and see it, they push me to the front and as we were nearing the table. I feel my stomach going in knots galore, I begin to sweat bullets and wish I had that cockiness and confidence like I had before. I reach out my hand as the distance between us becomes more and more shallow, I turn the table and stoned surprise flow through my being. I couldn't believe it, there lying on the table with restrains and wearing a blindfold was...was my future self. He was sleeping, I gently pull off the blindfold, nicely shake him and he slowly opens his eyes. He releases a big smile and says happily, but sorely, "I knew you guys would come for me sooner or later."
I look to Stitch and he understood what I was asking, he broke the shackles and we all help him up from the table.
Jon was the first to burst, "I'm so sorry for shooting you and being apart of that mob."
Future me replies kindly, "It's okay, I know it's not your fault."
Sasha examines my future self quizzically and asks, "How is your arm back and why don't you've bullet holes nor burn marks, how you look normal?"
He answers calmly, "From Stitch's DNA, it saved me."
Sasha looks at him, not sure whether to believe in what he is saying or not. Then again, if it wasn't for Stitch's DNA he wouldn't be here anyway. So she drop the suspicious examination and walks back to the group.
I hug him and ask surprisingly, "How is that you're normal height?"
He answers justly, "Because I guess I was able to control my growth now, sooner you might be able to do it too."
I bring my eyes down, he tilts his head and notices that my mood changes suddenly.
He asks worryingly, "What happen?"
I answer softly and shamefully, "Sapphire tried to save me using a repressor drug, but she used such a large dose that I turn back to human. The amount of the dose had one costly side - effect, I can no longer transform. It made Stitch's DNA permanently dormant, deactivate or inactivate; whatever you call it."
I add bring my eyes up and ask wonderingly, "How are you here? Who brought you here?"
He explains with rigidness in his tone, "I think it was after Jon shot me, I woke up here and I had rope burns on me. I kind of figure the ropes were being fixed as my (forcing himself to spit it out) "dead body" was placed somewhere. As for the who, I don't know."
So without any further questions, he guides us as we all are trying to figure out who is behind this. We all went into the room, it was barren of anything, there was nothing in that room and we all turn to my future self questioningly.
He says proudly, "Don't let your eyes fall to pretenses."
He continues to the wall, until he vanishes through the wall completely and we were all shock by this. He pops his head out and asks impatiently, "Well? Guys aren't you coming or rather stay here?"
I announce what everyone was thinking, "Head floating? Floating head?"
He looks at us confused by my statement, he then understands what I were saying and he just smiles on. He states nonchalantly, "This is an advance cloaking, to be honest I didn't even think this would work and yet here I'm waiting for you guys to follow. Now let's go!"
He adds jokingly, "Rapido, Rapido. Vamos!"
The way he said that, it just help to ease ourselves and we laugh at his silliness. He disappears through the wall once more and we follow him, but we were so nervous that we all jump together. After the whole wall trick, we were in a strange room and highly advance technology (imagine Dex's Lab, but a hundred times better) scatter everywhere. I see my future self going into a room and so we all follow him into this huge white circle shaped room. We see him going up to the monitor, pressing random buttons and then the screen turns on.
It shows Earth, the screen next turns into little windows showing different places around the world and no one knows what is happening.
Sasha feeling brazen shortly walks up to him and asks crossly, "What is going on?"
