I logged off of x-box live and ran to my room. I closed the door and plopped on my bed.
" Johnny you okay?" called my room mate Sally.
"yeah just saw something strange on live" I called back
" oh you boys and your video games…" she huffed
Our Future… I wonder who it was, and why my friends were off. Ronny27 was my real time friend Ron Tonsberry and shade shadow38 was my friend Alex Dreadern. I first walked to Ron's dorm, and knocked on the door.
" Ron?" I yelled knocking on the door
Cody Freehawk answered the door, he was Ron's Room mate.
"where's Ron Cody?" I asked trying to see behind him.
"he's inside but in a deep sleep, I'm going to call the doctor in a minute" said Cody
I walked in to the dorm there was Ron sitting on the couch controller in his hand, and his screen said ERROR. He was sweating mildly and he was indeed still breathing and sleeping.
"Cody call the doctor, I'm going to check on Alex" I said rushing to the door.
"got it!" Cody said picking up the phone
I went to Alex's door, he had no room mate so I just walked in. Alex was standing and breathing so hard he was gagging. On his screen was a mixture of numbers all over. I turned off his system and looked over to him.
"Ron's in a coma" I said
"I know" replied Alex
"what the hell was that?" Alex asked
"I think it was a server split area, how could a player have guests in team slayer? How could someone transport to some strange area and how could you carry TWO rocket launchers?" I asked
"I don't know we should report to Bungie" Alex said
That night I sent an E-mail to Bungie saying about this Our Future and my friends coma, but I got no reply. It had been a month still no reply. I decided to log onto x-box live and begin a search for this Our future.
Cody was on perhaps he could help? I sent a party invite to Cody, who's screen name was Fire Hawk77.
Cody was a Spartan, with an gold and blue suit. His sign was brute head, and he was level 2.
Spiked Hand: How's Ron?
Fire Hawk77: Still in a coma
Spiked Hand: damn…
Fire Hawk77: So why the party invite?
Spiked Hand: We are going to search for the culprit for Ron's coma, the screen name is Our Future and he is level 1000
Fire Hawk77: How the Hell?
Spiked Hand: Hacker be careful he knows how to transport us to restricted places and can have unlimited ammo and health.
Fire Hawk77: how do we beat him?
Spiked Hand: I don't know
Fire Hawk77: I'm out I don't want to end up like Ron we should just let him be if you want to search for him go ahead but I'm not going to help you!
Spiked Hand: FINE!
I joined a head to head match and found myself facing Plasma Sniper22.
We were in Ivory Tower. I went up the elevator, and to the top picked up the sniper rifle and then jumped on a nearby plant pot and waited. I saw him doing the traditional weapon collecting. Of course he would go for the rocket launcher. I aimed for his Elite head and fired killing him instantly.
Gained the Lead!
Now he knew where I hid so I head off to a new sniper spot. Behind some boxes I stood and waited.
Five minutes remaining
"come on get in my sights!" I thought
Bingo! There he was searched nervously with a energy sword and coming the way. Now!
I fired hitting him in the head and he died. I switched his sword for my empty sniper rifle, and then went out searching. I found him going for the rocket launcher. He reacted quickly this time he threw a grenade, and then shot me rapidly with his SMG. I died waiting to respawn.
"now its on" I thought picking up another SMG. I crouch-walked to where the sniper was he was there with a rocket launcher waiting. I quickly fired rapidly and jumped over the missing rocket. I killed him.
10 seconds remaining I picked up the rocket launcher spotted him and quickly fire killing at the last second.
Plasma Sniper22: 1 kill Spiked Hand: 4 kills
I entered the lobby and there was a party invite. It was from a clan called Server Raiders. I joined the game wondering if this was where Our Future was.
