Chapter 3: Outside Interference
The roar of the Ospreys engines surrounded Matt. The loud noise and the discomfort of his bonds made the situation all the more uncomfortable.
"God this sucks." Matt thought bitterly. "Out of one bad situation and into another...at least this dimension is more like home than the others." Matt thought, looking out his window and seeing a sunny, bright blue sky and a sparkling ocean.
--------------
Chris sat in the passenger section of the Osprey, with him was one of the SEAL teams that was sent to the crash site. Since he wasn't apart of their elite group he was pretty much left alone. Chris switched on his radio and raised Porkchop.
"Hey Chris, what can I do ya for?" Porkchop asked.
"What can you tell me about this person?" Chris asked, pulling a data chip out of the mission recorder built into his Battle Rifle and inserting it into the base of the radios transmitter.
"Gimme a sec...hmmm."
"What." Chris asked.
"We got a Mathew Lynch, English, age 22 and is a police officer. You bagged your self a good guy up there." Porkchop said.
"Since when did Britain have times ships for cop cars?" Chris asked.
"I dunno, since when did the militaries employ 17 year old mercenaries?" Porkchop asked giving a small grin.
"Smartass!" Chris shot back. "What should I do with officer Lynch?"
"Uncuff him and give him back his things, I'll just inform the general that we got the wrong ship or something." Todd said, the small screen winked off.
"Yeah, you do that." Chris switched channels on his radio and called Matt's VTOL. "Hey Sadowski, just got orders to uncuff the prisoner and to give him back his things, copy?"
"Got it Chris...um, should we give back all of his things? He has some pretty sweet hardware up in here?" Sadowski asked, sounding hopeful.
"Dude that's stealing!" Chris said with mock surprise.
"What if I accidentally lost something." Sadowski asked.
"Well then that's different, can't be helped if something were to be lost in transit." Chris said laughing.
"Sweet." Sadowski said excitedly. "HEY GUYS, I GOT DIBB'S ON THE BLING CANNON!"
"How are his friends?" Chris asked.
"Who's? The officers? Oh, they're hanging with the others." Sadowski said sounding distracted.
"Sadowski?" Chris said.
"Oh man this guns so cool, wonder what it shoots...HEY GUYS, OPEN THE BAY DOORS, I WANNA TRY THIS THING OUT!" Sadowski yelled.
----------------------
Matt watched the guy who was called Sadowski pull out his plasma magnum. "You really don't want to do that, plus it's mine." He turned away and got comfortable to have a snooze. The gun was DNA encoded so that Sadowski could try to shoot all he wanted.
One of the SEAL's was trying to make the cargo door open but something was up. He was pressing the open button repeatedly but nothing was happening apart from a mechanical whine.
The SEAL member pressed his hand to the door and recoiled. "Hey, Sadowski. This doors red hot. Did that gun go off?" Matt had turned to look at the door which had begun to glow blue. "Oh smeg. Get down!" he yelled, diving to the floor. The other SEAL's dived to the floor as the cargo bay doors blew open.
HK-61 and HK-59 stepped through the hole their plasma charges had made and began to spray the cargo bay with laser fire. It had been easy to latch a couple of boarding pods to the cargo doors of the Ospreys's and a plasma charge had 'opened' the door for them. HK 63's voice came over their comm. "Our contract requires him alive."
Matt and the SEAL's dived for any cover in range. The SEAL's firing back at the droids with their assault rifles to little effect. Matt waved his still cuffed wrists at Sadowski. "Lemme go. I can deal with those tin cans." Sadowski nodded and passed Matt the key. "I'd like my gun back now." Said Matt, snatching his plasma magnum back.
Matt began to press some buttons on the side of the gun barrel and a voice said "Anti armor plasma ammo online." Matt peered over the top of their cover at the two droids then ducked back down. "Smeg. I must be pissing off the right people to get some assassin droids after me." Said Matt, grinning.
Sadowski stared "Those tin cans are trying to kill us and you're grinning? You're nuts." He said.
Matt replied "You're the first person to guess." He aimed his gun over their cover and fired a few shots.
"Warning: Traveler? Surrender and no others will be damaged." Said one of the droids. Matt answered with a plasma bolt that just missed HK-59.
"Threat: So be it." Said HK-61, nodding to his companion. They both approached Matt and the SEAL's cover.
Chris's VTOL
"Come out unarmed meat bags and you wont be damaged." The HK said, Chris and the SEAL's didn't answer and fired their rifles to little effect as the rounds bounced off or shattered against the robots armor.
"Guys, this isn't working!" A SEAL yelled out and ducked behind a cargo crate as on of the robots fired a large gun and sent volleys of yellow laser bolts at him.
Chris fired bursts from his Battle Rifle but the armor-piercing rounds only ricocheted off the robots head.
"You guys got any grenades?" Chris yelled and ducking robot fired his laser pistols at him.
"We're on an aircraft and you wanna use grenades, you smokin something?" The SEAL yelled, firing his shotgun and knocking one of the 2 HK's back through the hole.
Chris switched to his rifles attached shotgun and leaped at the robot still in the cargo hold. Chris swept its legs from under it and fired a armor piercing slug, cracking the armor but not really hurting it. The sound of something charging got Chris's attention and a big ball of energy shot out of the boarding pod. It hit Chris in the chest and sent him flying back to the other end of the hold.
"That's it, I'm pissed." Chris got back to his feet and let his experiment DNA envelope his human DNA. "Hey guys, plan-B awright?" Chris said over the radio as the changes took place.
HK-63 stepped out of the pod and brushed of it's chest armor. "Question: Are the meat bags dead?"
" Reply: No they are not, the older meat bags shot out the lights and retreated to the back of the cargo hold." The HK-62 said.
"Question: Shall we pursue them, they are affiliated with the Traveler after all." The HK-63 said.
"Agreement: Yes, lets hunt down the meat bags." The HK-62 said holding up its light repeater cannon.
The two HK's went into the darkness.
"Question: Can you see anything." The HK-63 with the cannon asked.
"No, the younger meat bag damaged my photo-receptors and my night-vision is malfunctioning." The other HK-62 said.
"Wait, I hear something." The HK-63 with the cannon said. Both HK's stopped and looked into the darkness, footsteps emitted far in front of them. Then 4 pairs of glowing blue eyes and a pair of glowing gold eyes shined through the darkness. The HK-63's fired their weapons but the glowing eyes continued to approach them.
"Nervous Question: Is the mission recorder still recording?" The HK-63 said.
"Agreed Reply: Yes, I'll send it to the meat bag commander." The other said.
Deep growling sounds caught the HK's attention and they looked back and saw that the eyes were gone.
"Suggestion: I think we should take our leave." HK-62 said.
"Agreement: Agreed." Hk-63 said.
The two HK's began to walk back to the boarding pod, but unseen footsteps made them quicken their pace. As they ran back to the time pod several loud roars resounded and echoed throughout the cargo hold and death leaped for the HK's.
Matt's VTOL
Matt heard the droids coming towards their cover. "Now what?" he said, checking his Plasma magnum's remaining charge. The two SEAL's looked at each other as if agreeing to do something and when they looked at Matt he nearly had a heart attack. Their eye's were glowing blue!
"Wow…BEHIND YOU!" Matt said as HK-59 and HK-61 came round the corner, blasters in hand. Matt fired his plasma magnum at point blank range into HK-59's head, blasting it into vapor and also sending Matt into the wall behind him. "I gotta fix that recoil." Matt said getting up to watch Sadowski tear HK-61's arm off and throw him into the boarding pod.
Matt pressed a button on his Magnum and it said "'Scarab' Class Concussion Plasma ammo online." Matt got up and aimed at HK-61 who was getting up and said "Hey, tin can. Tell Silvia to send a human next time." He pulled the trigger and a solid beam of green plasma hit HK-61 so hard he went out the back of the pod into the sky. Matt ran to the hole and looked out in time to see a splash in the sea below. "Hope he's waterproof." Matt said and looked up to see a timeship steering away.
Ceres
Empire Command Base
"You're telling me that he beat you." Said Silvia to the image of the leader HK-63. "We were not informed of the combat grade Bio-weapons guarding him. If we had been given up to date data, the mission may have succeeded." Answered HK-63. Silvia began to type in a special code onto her computer and answered. "Then I am afraid that we no longer require your services." Her finger pressed the execute key and said "Goodbye."
(The bomb that the empire technicians had placed on HK-63's timeship detonated, destroying the ship.)
Silvia stared for a moment at the static filled screen then pressed a button "Get me Captain Dante. I have a job for him and his team."
Kauai Airbase.
Matt stepped off the Osprey and stood for a moment as he looked around. He saw Kala, Rick, Akira and Lilo and Stitch getting off another of the Osprey's. Luckily, the droids hadn't bothered with the VTOL they'd been on.
He looked at Sadowski and the other SEAL's. 'Are they all hybrids? Where are we?' he thought. Sadowski, speaking to him got his attention "What?" he said.
"I said, the general wants to see you." Said Sadowski, gesturing to a waiting Humvee. Matt shrugged. Maybe he'd get some answers from the base commander "Lead the way." He said.
-----------------------
Matt stepped into a well furnished office, the walls were covered with framed pictures of worn but smiling soldiers, most in the desert. Sadowski motioned for him to take a seat in front of the offices desk and he stood by the door.
After fidgeting with his plasma magnum for a couple minutes Matt heard the door open and a very large and imposing man in a military uniform strode in and took a seat behind the desk and motioned for Sadowski to leave.
"Officer Lynch I presume?" He asked cocking a eyebrow.
"Erm...yeah." Matt said uneasily.
"Hmm...you look younger than what's stated in your file." Officer Lynch. "Well in any case I have to thank you on helping my SEAL's dispatch those walking toaster ovens. I was originally going to have you thrown in a holding cell for knocking my Apache out of the sky but due to recent events I suppose I can overlook that accident." The general said clasping his hands on the desk.
"Um, no problem...uh, is it okay If I ask a few questions?" Matt asked, trying to look like a cop.
"Go ahead." The general said.
"Who are you exactly?" Matt asked.
"I'm General Antonio Silva, United States Air-Force and commander of this base. And who are you exactly, you don't look like the description in your file." General Silva said, pointing to a plain looking folder on his desk. A picture of an older looking Matt was attached to the papers "And how did you come across that time ship you were found on?"
"I'm...Lieutenant Mathew Lynch, U.K. police officer and I found that...aircraft and took it for a spin, things didn't go as planned." Matt said lying pathetically. "Um...is everyone here a hybrid?" Matt asked, trying to change the subject.
"Yes, 90 percent of U.S. military personnel are hybrids, the other 10 percent are still waiting to receive the experiment gene. You can tell who's a hybrid and who's not by looking at their hair and eyes, hybrids tend to natural or unnatural highlights of various colors and dark colored eyes." Silva said showing the top of his short hair to Matt, there were thin lines of red in his light brown hair. Matt also looked into Silva's eyes and they were crimson red!
"If I had that kind of advantage I could handle anything!" Matt thought.
"Oh...uh where are my friends at?" Matt asked, realizing that he hasn't seen the others since they landed.
"Oh they're in the rec room with Reaper and the SEAL's, probably playing video games." Silva said cracking a small smile.
"Who's Reaper exactly, he seems a bit young to be a merc." Matt asked.
"He's some smartass mercenary that I hired to make errand runs for me and to take care of what ever petty job the Galactic Federation normally asks of my people to do." Silva replied, seething at the thought of Chris.
"Sir...there's some things I have to tell you that concerns the safety of this base and your people." Matt said, remembering the HK's.
Saying this caused Silva's look of hate to go away. "Go ahead."
Matt thought about how best to tell the commander about Silvia and this 'Emperor' she served. The timeship he'd seen had definitely been just serviced, meaning there was an Imperial base in this dimension.
Finally he came up with a good story. "While I was flying the ship, I found a computer log stating something about a military fleet being nearby. Apparently the ship I was flying was part of a scout team."
Silva leaned forward over his desk as Matt continued. "I think there's some kind of invasion fleet coming and if I'm right this base is a primary target."
Silva thought about what Matt had just said "I'll need to speak with the Pentagon. I'll get someone to take you to the rec room." Sadowski came in and as Matt turned to leave Silva said "By the way, What's in that pod in that ships cargo bay?" Matt answered simply "Your worst nightmare." And walked out.
As Matt and Sadowski walked through the base, Matt saw his ship being towed into a large hanger. Finally they arrived at the rec room. Kala and one of the SEAL's were playing Halo 2 and by the looks of things Kala was winning. Akira, Rick and Chris were watching Kala wipe the floor with the SEAL and Lilo and Stitch were at a table talking.
Kala looked around as Matt came in and jumped up to greet him. "Matt." She said, obviously happy to see him. "Hey Kala." Said Matt and looked over at Chris who got up. "I spoke to your commander, Chris." Said Matt. Chris began talking to someone on his radio.
-------------------
Chris tapped a button on his headsets radio. "Reaper, I had a talk with the brit, most of his story sounds like something a Star Wars fanboy would cook up. But the thing is that his time ship and the attack on the Ospreys justifies most of his story. But if you don't mind I'd rather not have him in any of main base areas, why don't you take him to your place for the night till we can get this mess sorted out?" The general asked.
"You sure that's a good idea, there is the Birds of Paradise hotel you know." Chris said objectively.
"Reaper, I don't want him on the base until I know exactly what's going on and your house is a good place to keep him. Think of it as a favor for me aright?" Silva asked. "Besides, I'm not gonna get him a room at such an expensive hotel!"
"Yes sir, remember sir you owe me." Chris said sighing.
"You owe me a new chopper." Silva snapped.
----------------
Matt switched to Splitter to speak to Kala and the others "Look. Obviously they think that Stitch here is their version of, well, Stitch. I think I've convinced them we're not from another universe. Best thing we can do is play along till the ships finished its auto-repairs."
"You mean that there's another me here!" Stitch asked.
"I guess, I've seen other experiments walking around in military uniforms so I guess that experiments are common in this dimension. And no one has gotten freaked out when they saw you yet so there probably is another Stitch around here." Matt said.
"If there's another Stitch here, do you think there's a me here too...well a original me?" Lilo asked, looking at herself.
"Probably, if there's a Stitch here there's probably another Lilo." Matt said
Akira said "What about those droids? We can't leave them."
Matt shrugged "The Ohana's more then capable of finding them. We'll test out some of the more interesting weapons on the base those droids came from when we find them, no problem"
Chris came up behind Matt. "If you're interested, you can crash at my place till you get a flight back to the UK."
Matt got up, switching back to English. "What about the rest of my friends?"
Chris answered "I thought of that. Jumba says they can stay with him." Matt thought about his last meeting with Jumba. "I suppose they'll be ok there. At least there's no more droids."
Ceres
Empire Command Base
Captain Dante walked down the corridor towards the main briefing room. They'd been working for the empire for months now and Dante still had some bruises from the last tangle with the military there. He strode into the briefing room and saw that everyone was already there. 'Good. Nice and prompt.' Dante thought as he strode to the front of the room.
Dante switched on the main holo-projector, showing a hologram of Matt, Kala, Akira and Rick's escape from Dr Johnson's ship (See Prologue). "The human's called Matthew Lynch. He's been…selected for capture by the emperor…yes Hanson?" said Dante looking at one of their ship pilots who'd raised his hand
"What about the local military?"
Dante smiled 'always prepared' he thought and answered
"He's apparently being moved to quarters outside the naval base's limits. We'll grab him then." He switched off the holo-projector. "I know we all remember the last time we went against the traveler and his sister but this time he's alone and we have the element of surprise. Command wants him alive but that doesn't mean we can't get some revenge…as long as he's breathing. Dismissed."
Dante turned the holo-projector back on and looked at the hologram of Matt saying "This time, Traveler. I'll win."
Kauai,
Chris's House
Chris drove the black pickup up the drive way. Matt saw a one level house that sat near a cliff which gave it a clear view of the ocean. Chris killed the gas and jumped out.
"So this is your place huh?" Matt asked, pulling out a duffel bag that had his things out of the trucks bed.
"Yep, its not the greatest place in the world but its home." Chris said unlocking the front door and walking in and passing through a thin wall of green light.
Matt followed but the green light turned red when he touched it and it solidified into a dark gray metal, trapping Matt in it.
"Hey smeg head your door doesn't like me." Matt said, sounding angry and annoyed.
Chris looked at Matt with a amused look on his face. "Never saw a Nano-Wall huh?" Chris asked tapping a button near the door, the metal wall dissolved and the green light appeared again and this time it didn't trap Matt.
"No what is it." Matt asked, following Chris who beckoned for him to follow.
"A security system the U.S. Air-Force developed, its based on Nanite technology, there's Nano-Wall emitters placed in every door and window in the house so anyone trying to get in will be trapped. The metal is reinforced titanium so it would be very hard to blow open." Chris said in a boring tone.
"Hmm, can I ha-." Matt started.
"No, it cost me more than I should have paid and I doubt that you have the funds to get even a control panel." Chris said, obviously in a bad mood.
"Hey, um, thanks for the help and all." Matt said holding his hand out to shake hands.
Chris didn't accept it, he just grunted and walked off into his own room. "Fine, so I guess pleasantries are out huh." Matt muttered.
--------------------
Chris tossed his Battle Rifle on his bed and collapsed into his desks chair. "Why can't the general get the guy a hotel room or something, he's 22 years old for crying out loud." Chris muttered angrily, once again wishing he didn't put in a guest room. Especially when he didn't like to get overnight guests.
Chris switched on his computer and the various computer screens on the desk came to life. One showed the status of his security systems, concealed automated rail guns, a sonic alarm to deter Hybrids(its DNA encoded to ignore him), and the Nano-Walls. Another showed internal and external video feeds from concealed security cameras. The main screen showed normal computer options. Chris logged onto his inter-dimensional internet account and looked at his mail.
"Junk...junk...junk...gay shit...junk...junk...stupid crap...junk...junk...more stupid crap.
Beep...beep...beep.
Chris's security cam screen beeped and a large vid feed winked on, a large time ship was accelerating towards the house. Chris looked at the markings on it and recognized it, it belonged to one of the more darker merc groups, the Dark Stars. "Son of a, great man this is just great." Chris muttered angrily and grabbing his Battle Rifle.
"Hey Matt you have a gun?" Chris yelled soon the Time ships engines could be heard.
----------------
Matt heard the timeships engines as it flew over the house. "Great. No peace wherever I am." He said wearily, opening his bag and pulling out a pair of pulse handguns and clipping their holsters on. "Yeah. I got a gun." He yelled to Chris as he pulled out a dusty plasma auto rifle and clipped an energy cell into it. Finally he pulled out a headset with a HUD lens for one eye.
He looked out his window and via the stealth filter on his headset saw a group of what could only be Dark Star mercenaries holding position just out of range of whatever other surprises Chris's security had.
Dark Star command troopship 'Hell's March'
Captain Dante watched as his men moved into position around the house that the Traveler was located in. "All team report." He said into the comm.
"Team 1 ready. Team 2 ready. Team 3 ready to move." Came the answers. Dante turned to Hanson and said "Right. Fire the selective EMP at the security system." Hanson nodded and pressed a button "Selective EMP away."
Chris's house
Matt watched as their troopship banked round and fired a blue orb of energy at the house. Matt threw himself down as the orb hit. His headset display flickered for a moment as the nanites in the selective EMP analyzed to see if the headset system was a target and rejected it. However, when Matt got up again the green light of the Nano-wall scanner was gone, shorted out. "Uh oh. CHRIS? WE'RE ABOUT TO GET VISITORS." He yelled, watching as the Dark Star teams began to advance. He headed out of his room and down to the hallway.
On the way he used his wrist computer to hack their radios. "Fzzzt…Repeat, the traveler is to be taken alive…What of the other one sir? We got another person in the house…Kill him. No witnesses." Matt thought a few unprintable words about the advancing mercs and listened some more.
"Fzzzt…this is team 1, we are at the main entrance and about to breach in 5…4…3…" Matt realized he was standing in front of the door which was beginning to glow with the blue light of a plasma charge. "Oh smeg." He said and dived for cover as the door was blown to splinters.
Five mercs came through the doorway's remains and checked around. "Clea…ugh." Said the leader as a soot-covered Matt fired two pulse rounds into his chest, sending him flying back into his comrades. The others opened fire with their 'Firefly' laser rifles.
After a minute of repeated fire they drew out their Ion rapiers and advanced on where Matt was hiding at the same time as team 2 blew in the back entrance and moved in on Chris.
The leader saw an open closet ahead. A huge amount of firearms of many types was visible. He nodded to two of his men and they emptied their 'Tarantula' laser chain guns into the equipment. "This is team 2. We've neutralized Reaper's weapons but no sign of him." Dante answered "Stay alert. He is a hybrid you know. He could be anywhere."
Team 2 headed for Chris's room and stopped. Most of the lights near the room were shorted out. He nodded to one of his men who walked into the darkened room. There was a noise like a sigh and a thump and a pair of glowing gold eye's appeared in the dark.
Team 2's leader began to sweat at the sight of those eyes. "Err…regroup." He said and his team backed away. The lights in their area turned off and the eyes advanced…
Meanwhile…
Team 1 headed into the kitchen that Matt had been hiding in and got a big surprise when no one was there. "Where the hell did he go?" said one of them and stopped as a earsplitting roar rang through the house which was by several screams and laser fire was heard from the direction of Chris's room.
Too late they noticed the second door out of the kitchen. Matt had stabbed one of the mercs with his ion staff and slashed another across the chest before they knew what hit them. The remaining three whirled around to face Matt and brought up their ion rapiers in defense.
The first one got a stab in the chest as he tried to hit Matt on the head. The second went down to an elbow in a place no man likes to get punched when he tried to get Matt in a headlock from behind. The last one pulled out his rifle again and fired a few shot at Matt, who deflected them back at the user, killing the merc.
Matt grabbed a 'Firefly' rifle from one of the late mercs and headed to the Chris's room, switching his headset to night vision. He saw Chris back in his normal state in the corridor surrounded by what had been some Dark Star mercs, wiping his hands. "Hmm. I can see you don't need help."
"Dark Star's are pushovers, biggest amateurs anywhere." Chris said walking towards Matt.
Behind Chris, one of the mercs wasn't as dead as he appeared and got silently up. Matt had been facing away and turned around "These guys were after…BEHIND YOU." He yelled spotting the merc drawing a plasma gun. Matt fired a perfect shot that zipped past Chris's ear and into the forehead of the offending Merc.
Chris ducked and looked behind him, The merc fell to the ground, minus his head. "Uh...thanks, I owe you one."
Matt strode over to one of the mercs and pulled off his comm. "Now hear this Dante." He said "My sister may not be around with me but I can still wipe the floor with your 'action men'. Bugger off." Dante was beginning to reply but Matt cut him off.
Matt turned to look at Chris. "Guess I got some explaining to do…"
"Ya you do, especially since your problem followed you here and trashed my house." Chris muttered. "Why are those guys after you anyways?" Chris already knew everything but he wanted to hear it from Matt.
"First of all, I'm not the Matthew from this universe." Said Matt. Chris nodded, looking at Matt holding the plasma auto rifle. "I kinda guessed that." He said. "Why are those guys after you?"
Matt sighed and answered "It's a long story and it all began after I made a dimensional jump onto a derelict starship called the U.S.S. Honolulu…"
Ceres
Empire Command Base
Silvia watched as the 'Hell's March' flew into the main dock. "I guess Dante's men weren't good enough, sir." She said to an unseen face on a comm. screen.
"I am not caring what it takes to be catching him...DO IT!" screamed a voice that Lilo would have recognized a mile away. On the screen was the face of the universes most notorious rodent. "And while you are doing that, take over this universe for me." Silvia looked at Hamsterviel and saluted "Yes Emperor."
Kauai
Chris's house
"...and the Phobos vortex just swallowed us up." Finished Matt. "Hard to believe, isn't it?"
"Yeah...sure is." Chris said, pretending to mull over the new information. "So he's the Traveler." Chris thought. "Doesn't look that tough to me."
"Warning. Imperial assault fleet detected. ETA: 20 minutes." Chimed Matt's wrist computer. "We gotta warn the base." Said Matt urgently, getting up and running out the front door.
"Yeah, no kidding." Chris muttered following Matt out of the house.
Matt jumped in the drivers seat of Chris's truck, looking like he owned the thing. "Come on, we need to get the others."
"Dude, my truck, I'm driving." Chris said tossing his rifle in the trucks bed.
"I already know the way to Lilo's, we can get there faster if I keep posing as a cop." Matt said.
Chris just growled in annoyance, a growl that reminded Matt of an angry lion. Chris pushed Matt into the passenger seat, "My truck my rules, you can play cop from the passenger seat.
"Whatever." Matt asked. "But I still think tha-" Matt began.
"You're not driving." Chris said sounding annoyed. "If you got a problem with that you can park your self in back."
Matt peeked out the back window and saw tons of metal crates marked --Explosive--in the trucks bed. "Eh, I'm okay here." Matt muttered, imagining himself getting blown up.
End of Chapter 3
This was difficult to finish. So many ideas and then writers block.
Please read & review.
