Hello all! This is my second attempt at a story, so I hope you enjoy!
I have no rights to the LXG or any characters or objects used in this story
except Marian, Jarson, and the Dargonites. Oh, and the Sensor, but that was
really a dog whistle improvised. Hope you enjoy and please review, good or
bad, I love opinions on how to fix the story! Okay, here it is chapter one
of The Visitor!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Augh! Duck, duck!" Sawyer yelled. Skinner did more than duck, he hit the ground and rolled. The winged creature they were battling was quite good at sudden drops from the sky.
"I don't understand it! All we were doing was walking down the street and this thing just attacked. What did we do to it?" Skinner yelled from his position on the ground.
"I don't know, but it looks pissed!" Sawyer yelled. Suddenly the creature took a swooping dive at Sawyer. He yelled and hit the ground, hands over head. He would pull his pistols and fire at the stupid thing, but Mina had forced him to leave them at the headquarters. "You look idiotic walking around London with those things attached to your hips." Thanks a lot, Mina, Sawyer thought now.
"Uh-oh, here it comes again!" Skinner yelled. Sawyer looked up and saw the thing swoop right at him. At the last second, he rolled to the right and the thing crashed into the ground, where it flew up into the air again as though it hadn't felt a thing. Skinner jumped up off the ground and said, "Okay, that's it you stupid bird!" He ran to the building they were next to, grabbed a two-by-four he saw on the ground, came out and held it like a baseball bat and said, "Alright, you flying piss ant. Come eat wood!" Sawyer looked over and saw Skinner swing at the thing just as it flew at him. He hit it right in the face. The thing tumbled and hit the ground. As Sawyer got off the ground, the "flying piss ant" got up and flew off.
"Is that it?" Sawyer asked Skinner.
"I guess." They started laughing and laughing. Then, a bright blue sphere opened right at the right of Sawyer and a person came running out and flung themselves at Sawyer, knocking him to the ground.
"What the..." was the only thing he had time to say as the thing suddenly passed by overhead and missed. Skinner jumped back and looked shocked. The person who had jumped out of the blue sphere leaped up and said, "Are you alright?" Sawyer suddenly realized that it was a woman. But before he could say anything, she picked up her gun and aimed at the flying being that was flying right back at them. She aimed, but instead of a bullet or, well any object, the gun emitted a high-pitched shrieking sound that hit the things ears, making it double over and crash into the ground and stop moving. She dropped the gun from her face and smiled cockily.
She dropped the gun on the ground and walked over to Sawyer, who was still on the ground. She looked down at him and said, "Agent Thomas Sawyer?" He nodded, not having been called Thomas since his Aunt Polly in St. Petersburg. "Good," was all she said. Skinner walked over and said, "Pardon me, but who the hell are you?" She ignored him, sticking out her hand and pulling Sawyer to his feet. Then she looked at both of them and said, "My name is Agent Marian Andrews. I'm from the year 2390. I'm with the American Central Intelligence Agency." Noticing the blank looks on their faces, she said, "Don't worry about it. It's just an organization America set up to protect itself from enemies. I'm a secret agent."
Finally finding his voice, Sawyer said, "How the heck are you from 2390 and here in 1901 at the same time?"
"It's called a time portal. We invented them. Well, not quite. We took ours from the ideas of many other scholars. The idea has existed for many a century, but few have ever taken the idea and put it to good use. There was one man who actually managed time travel, but his machine was destroyed and the research never found until ten years ago my time."
"Okay, but why are you here? And what the hell was that thing you shot at that thing? And what was that thing? If you shot at it at all. More like shouted at it. But what the hell was it?" Skinner asked.
Marian looked at Sawyer and said, "Did you understand what he just asked?"
Sawyer grinned and replied, "I think what he was trying to say was why did you come here, what was the creature you just shot down, and what did you kill it with? Something like that."
"Ah. Okay, less complicated first. That creature was a Dargonite, a monster created by the villain Jarson, who is little more than monster himself. The gun I fired at the Dargonite with was a Sensor gun, which tracks down Dargonites and emits this extremely loud shriek that is ten times worse than our ears pick up because their ears are extra sensitive. That was what killed it. It's sort of like an extra sensitive dog whistle."
Sawyer and Skinner frowned when they heard dog whistle. The woman noticed their confusion and said, "It's a whistle, you blow it and... oh never mind. Anyway, the reason that I am here is that I came to save your lives. All of them. Agent Thomas Sawyer, Rodney Skinner, Wilhemina Harker, Dr. Henry Jekyll and Captain Nemo. The Central Intelligence Agency sent me back in time for that purpose and to stop Jarson. Any questions?"
Sawyer and Skinner looked at her with dumbfounded expressions. She sighed. "This is gonna take awhile."
Okay, that was the first chapter! A little short, but that seemed a good place to stop. Next chapter will be an explanation. And PLEASE review! Pweeeeeeeeeeeze! Okay enough with that baby talk.
