"So what's this crazy plan?" Orin asked as he drummed his fingers on the side of the couch.
"We disable the lifters on the part spire where the pretty committee will be hosting there meeting, since at the time the spire will be over the water they will hopefully drown, or at least get soaked."
"Just gona point this out but this stunt will get noticed, what we did earlier they dint care about, this, this is big."
"That's kind of the point." John responded
"How we even gona turn of the lifters, any interface is monitored?" Orin asked, looking out the window at the soon to be soaked party spire.
John pulled out an old rusty looking computer, it was rather small but it looked heavy and powerful.
"And if that doesn't work which I'm sure is unlikely."
"Acid to burn thought he wires and the cables." John responded as he took out a small vial.
"Now another stupid question, how we gona not get noticed and where do we hack into and apply the acid?"
"Still working on that but we do have a couple of days."
"Mm good point"
"So I'm gona go check out the spire tonight, you wanna come?" John asked.
"Ya sure, when we going?"
"Meet me at the spire at 3, bring a board."
"K"
John slowly gathered the equipment he had brought and left the dorm, they had a lot of planning to do if they really intended to pull off a stunt like that.
**** 3 am****
John stood, hovering near the bottom of the spire. Out of the eye he thought he saw something, a red light flying in is general direction and he smiled, always on time.
John slowly hovered away from the shadow of the spire and waved an arm at the flying light, it slowly approached him and he saw a rush then a mask removed and Orin's head appeared.
"Time to go?" Orin asked as he looked at the imposing spire.
"Ya" John responded as he led Orin to a small hatch built into the spire.
"This leads to the maintenance part of the spire." John said as he open it and crawled into it, leaving a rider less board hovering in midair.
"Common!" John whispered to Orin as he waved him over, he too slowly crawled into the hatch. They proceeded to go deeper into the facility. They finally reached a hallway and crawled out; they finally stood up and looked around. The hallway was well lit and had white walls, it was Spartan compared to the upper part of the spire, but there were a decent amount of pipes and wiring running around.
They started to walk to the center of the spire, figuring that was where the mainframe would be along with the magnetisms. They finally came across a thick door, a large square of glass covered the top part and they both peered into the room on the other side.
"Cameras and heat sensors."John whispered and he pointed to the small surveillance devices.
"Keypads on all the systems including this door." Orin responded pointing at the numerous small inputs devices.
They both stepped back from the door.
"We need the cracker."Orin said as they both rested.
"And some stealth gear." John added, there was only one place where they could get what they needed, the ranger outpost at the edge of the city.
They slowly walked back to the maintenance hatch and crawled back onto there waiting hover boards.
"Tomorrow same time bunkers." John whispered at Orin, who nodded and then whispered back.
"Ya see ya then." They both then left, flying in opposite directions.
**** 24 hours later****
John slowly flew into the rusty ruins, flying towards the hollowed out hills at slow speeds, watching out for the crumbling buildings and long dead skeletons. He slowly flew into the bunker, the 1 where Orin and john were going to meet. He dismounted his board and picked it up, he started to walk in.
After walking 30 about 20 yards he started to hear a whistling, as he went farther into the complex it grew louder.
"Hey" he called out.
"Finally" he heard in response.
John walked into a room to see Orin sitting, leaning up against a wall.
"Ready" John asked.
"Ya" Orin responded as he stood up.
"Now just putting it on the floor, did we really have to hide the cracker here, I doubt anyone would have found it if we placed it closer to the city."
"Very true" John responded as he walked over to the knapsack where they had hidden the cracker, a device that they themselves had built, it had the ability to crack any code brake into any keypad. This technology was highly illegal in the city so, they had to hide it when they were not using it.
He grabbed the knapsack and they started to walk out.
"So how are we gona brake into the ranger base?" Orin asked.
"Simple, the supply building is off the main base and only has a keypad on it and there are practically no rangers at the base anyway so I doubt they have guards or anything there."
"Yes simple, to simple."
When they got to the exit they quickly got on their hover boards and flew to the outpost, dodging the warden cars and avoiding partying pretties.
**** About 10 minutes later****
"It's over there" John whispered as he pointed to a building off of the main compound. They slowly flew up to the building.
They stashed there boards in the forest surrounding the compound, and quietly proceeded to the building.
John slowly dropped his bad as Orin took out the cracker and put it next to the keypad, right as he placed it began to try combinations, any combination.
"This is gona take a while" Orin responded as he read the readout from the cracker.
"How long is a while "John responded as he peered at the device?
"O fun" John said as he read the readout, an hour to break the code.
"O shit" Orin whispered as they heard footsteps, 2 rangers were coming.
"Don't just stand there grab it!" John whispered back.
"It's stuck" Orin responded as he tried to remove the cracker.
"What do you mean it's stuck?" john replied
"I mean it's stuck!" Orin practically yelled back
John quickly shoved Orin to the other side of the building and pressed the LIGHTS OFF button on the cracker. Then he followed Orin to the other side of the building.
"I Thought we already reclaimed Pit" they both heard from one of the incoming rangers.
"We did, it regrew. Shocker. I doubt we will be able to get it back though; it's pretty well dug in." The other ranger responded.
They slowly approached the building, and one of the rangers entered a code into the building and they both entered.
They soon emerged later, both carrying standard ranger gear and the proceeded to walk back into the main complex, the door shutting behind them. John and Orin slowly emerged from the side of the building and walked up to the door. Orin slowly inspected the device.
"It got the code" Orin slyly said as he entered the code into the panel on the door and watched it slide open.
"That's a lot of stuff" john shockingly announced. The room was full of anything you could possibly need, sneak suits, rebreathers, welding torches, there was so much gear that the room was overflowing with it.
Orin, managed to pry off the cracker and he stuff it back into his knapsack. John walked into the room and started to walk around a take a mental inventory of the gear.
"So you have any idea of what we need?" Orin asked, as he walked in and the door closed behind him.
John slowly pulled a list out of his knapsack and began to read:
"Sneak suits or an insulated suits_"
"Got them"
"Metal cuter"
"Me to"
"Rebreathers"
"Ditto"
"Night vision"
"I haven't seen any, but there is a lot of stuff"
"Finally but not least any type of jamming device"
"Why would they have those here?"
"We can always hope"
"Ya"
"And any stuff that you can find, to through them off the trail."
"K"
They proceeded to find gear and stuff it in the bags; it was surprising the amount of gear that the rangers kept considering their job mostly consisted of lighting fires.
After a short amount of time they both met up at the entrance.
John burst into a couching fit, blood coming up "sorry, what you got" John asked looking at Orin's over flowing knapsack
"Cutting tools, bunch of rebreathers and sneak suits, wire cutters, lock breaker, the good type. You ok?"
"You got anything good "Orin asked looking at the blood that covered Johns sleeve.
"Generator, ditto on the other stuff and finally but not least a couple of broad band transmitters."
He walked up to the top of the door and stuck a transmitter and a cracker. He entered a series of commands into them.
"If the code changes well know." He responded to Orin's quizzical expression.
"And why the generator?" Orin asked looking at the large device sticking out of the knapsack.
"In due time my friend." John responded as he opened the door and proceeded to walk out. Orin slowly followed him, closing the door behind him. They walked over to where they had stashed the hover boards.
John put his knap sack in the cargo compartment of his board and motioned for Orin to give him his, he stashed that to the walked onto the board.
"Back to where we started."
Orin nodded, walked onto his board and shot away from the compound towards the bunkers. John slowly followed him, not due to the weight on the board; he spent time admiring the night, the deadly dark night.
They arrived at the bunkers, taking the knapsacks out of the hover board they proceeded inside to stash there new found goods. When they got to their usual spot john put down his bag and took out the generator.
"Now do I found out what that was for?" Orin asked as he set down his bag.
"Soon" John responded, he started to walk, into another room. Orin slowly walked after him.
They eventually came up to a room with a sign, labeling it Power room.
"I see." Orin said as he realized what the point of the generator was.
"But will it even work?" he asked after considering what needed to be done.
"Possibly." John responded as he opened the door and walked in , shining his flash light on the room, it revealed a bunch of old oil burning generators, luckily they has not been exposed to the bug. John slowly walked up to an open spot, alligator clips were hanging in midair were a generator was supposed to be.
John grabbed the generator and put it on the table; he slowly turned on the generator, filling the room with a soft humming.
"It's running fine, now we have to see if the rusty power system is still operational." He said to the curious Orin.
"Oo cool" Orin said as he walked around the room, inspecting the ancient equipment.
John slowly hooked up the clips to the generators and threw a rusty switch with a click. Suddenly the lights of the complex came on, illuminating the room.
"It worked!" Orin exclaimed looking outside into the light hallway.
"Hey go try closing the front door and bringing our boards in, it would be bad if someone saw the light or stumbled in".
John walked over to a display to see, to read the power usage logs and determine how long the generator could keep the facility running. Orin had started to walk away and when he got far enogh away that John could barely hear him he heard.
"Hey did you hear anything?"
"No, you must be crazy." John responded as he heard Orin's footsteps get softer and softer till he could finally not hear them.
"Interesting" John muttered as he went over the readout, the generator without any more Naquada could run for several years before needing to be refilled. The generator was also generating a lot more power then was needed by the base.
"Our coffin has been sealed" John heard, coming over the bases built in communications device. John looked for a device to respond and found one in short time, a small box with the words speak and mute written on it, faded over the hundreds of years that had occurred since the base had been built.
"O, fun, seen anything interesting on a way hear?" John responded.
"Mhm I saw a couple of signs, I think 1 was armory and a hangar or something like that."
"Mm cool, meet you at the usually place, 5 minutes?" John asked, continuing to look over the read out.
"Ya sure" Orin responded.
John slowly started to walk over to the "usual" place, the base was completely different now that the hallways were all lit, previously hidden signs and corridors now became clear. But the base was surprisingly clean, considering what had happened, it seemed like he could just hear military commanders and long dead leaders running about the ancient base.
John finally entered the room where Orin and he had stashed so many items and spent so much time, but it was completely different. The room had previously seemed like just a room with some tables and chairs, with glass on the walls but in light it was completely different, the glass turned out to be displays and the tables were filled with work stations, all coming to life with the new found energy source.
He spotted Orin sitting at a table, trying to navigate the ancient computer.
"O cool seems like it's got some sort of cloaking or stealth device, and something referred to as a 302 bay." John slowly approached Orin and looked over his shoulder at the display.
"Can you activate them, the power surges are bound to cause some raised eyebrows."
"Possibly" Orin responded as he sorted through menus and displays.
"Done" Orin said, relief plain on his face, the base shuttered as the systems activated.
John slowly collapsed into a chair, staring at the ancient tiles that covered the ceiling. The black slowly enveloped his vision; the toll of what they had done today slowly took its toll on his body.
****couple of hours later****
John slowly woke up, stretching; sleeping in a chair was never idea especially when it was designed by the rusty's. He turned around to face the console where Orin had been working to see a small note, obviously left recently.
Hey went back to the dorm but did not want to wake you, I turned off some non essential systems, the power required to run the stealth systems gave us only days for the generator.
Ps the part is 8 to dawn , but it's not until 2 days so we got some extra time , I'll be done with this shit at 3 so we can chill then
PEACE
Orin
Slowly a coughing fit came over john, but he slowly recovered and sat up. He slowly started to walk to the entrance of the bunker, it was a short walk considering now they had light now and didn't have to worry about falling on some ancient debris. He finally got to his hover board and opened the bunker door, the outside mourning light blinding him momentarily. He slowly mounted the board and road back into the city, cruising through the trees and weaving through the buildings.
He finally reached his room and entered collapsed onto his bed.
"Wall screen on" he ordered to the room, the feeds came on. Displaying the same boring news.
"Ping to Edwin" John ordered the room.
"Hey" the ring responded, Edwin's voice emanating from the ring.
"What ya doing?" John asked, gazing at the feeds.
"Just woke up." He sleepily responded.
"Sorry did me-"Edwin quickly cut him off.
"Nope. Wanna come over?" Edwin asked.
"Ya sure, be over in 5."
"Bring food." Edwin managed to get out before john had hung up the call. John got up, realizing he did not know what time it was he checked the time, 1 pm. It wasn't surprising that Edwin had slept in that late, for a pretty he was considered an early riser.
John slowly proceeded to the first floor of his mansion, he picked up a tray full of food on the way there, he rid quickly to Edwin's mansion, the tray hovering along at a surprising speed. He eventually arrived at Edwin's window, easily opening it and jumping off his board into the room, the tray following him into the room.
Edwin surprised, turned around to see John in the window and muttered "nice entrance."
"O ya thanks" John responded as he pushed the hovering tray over to Edwin. It wobbled as it slid through the air.
"Want any?" Edwin offered as he began to devour the food.
"I'm good." John responded.
****30 minutes later****
"Hey I think I got something to cheer you up, follow me." Edwin said, exited to have an idea that could cheer up his depressed old friend.
Edwin slowly led John to the roof of the mansion.
"Nice view." John plainly said as he took in his surroundings, a bungee jacket rack, some air filters, and various pieces of metal.
Edwin removed a bungee jacket from the rack and threw it to john.
"I've done a lot more fun fast and exiting things than this."
"That's what they all say, I'm sure you have." Edwin responded, clearly thinking that john was just trying to worm his way out of the jump.
Edwin took out a bungee jacket for himself and put it on, John slowly followed suit, putting on the jacket as its automated straps entangled him.
John slowly approached the edge of the roof and stood there, over the edge. It looked like a 40-60 foot drop, not that high considering what he had done in recent times. He heard footsteps, slowly increasing in speed coming towards him, faster and faster.
"Holy mother fucker" john managed to hey out as he was thrown off the edge of the roof, the ground was steadily approaching. Then suddenly he got pulled back up, the straps of the jacket tightening around him , Edwin finally let go of him, kick off flying away from him into the.
He bounced a couple of more times but slowly his momentum was dispelled and he softly landed on the ground.
"When I said I've been faster and at greater heights I wasn't kidding!" John yelled to Edwin, slowly standing up and removing the jacket. He started to walk towards Edwin who responded:
"Ya sure you have."
John activated his interface ring, calling his hover board over to him; it shot through the air and arrived quickly.
"This is what I've been talking about!" John said as he stepped onto the waiting board. He motioned for Edwin to get on who after a couple of seconds of doubt he did.
"Ready?" john asked, looking Edwin straight in the eyes.
"Ya, giddy up." Edwin responded, expecting a slow gradual buildup of speed.
Instead of that the board shot away at 350 MPH, John weaved through the building, and eventually came back to where they had started. Edwin fell of the board and threw up on the ground, the remnents of the lunch splattered on the grass.
"Told ya so, Motion sickness much?" John slyly responded, sitting on the board.
****next day****
John slowly weaved through the forest, careful not to be detected by warden, there were tons of them out tonight due to the party with the pretty committee, and if anything went wrong the city would be on the hook.
He finally arrived at the bunker. He pushed the bottom on the door and it slowly slid open, he walked through it and closed it. He proceeded to walk to the command center.
Not noticing Orin he went to where they had stashed the stolen gear, he slowly opened the knapsacks and started to remove their contents, spreading the gear out on to one of the many tables.
The gear consisted of numerous sneak suits, which they figured would come in handy if they every had recruits, a pair of rebreathers, if they are unable to get out of the tower before it hits the water, some sensor jammers, acid, and a plethora of junk that they had stolen, they could come in handy and to through the rangers of their trail.
A few minutes later Orin strolled in, he took a quick glance at the gear and asked "ready?"
"I guess we can get started now." John responded as he through a sneak suit at Orin, who clumsily caught it. Orin clumsily caught the pile of black scales.
"Think these will actually work?" Orin asked as he examined the armor.
"Only one way." John responded as he took off his sneakers and slid into the sneak suit. When it was on he started to flex his fingers, the scales adjusted with them, turning and twisting. Orin quickly followed suit.
John slipped a rebreather and a metal cutter into a pocket on his suit and tossed one to Orin, he also handed Orin the acid, taking with himself the small computer he would use to hack the spires mainframe and the electromagnetic jammer.
"Ready?" John asked
"Ya" Orin responded and they started to walk to the exit of the bunker.
When they got outside they called their boards, they started to fly to the soon to be sunk party spire.
****later****
Orin approached the hatch of the spire and slowly opened it, he then crawled inside casually, and like it was something they did every day. John followed him; they approached the door that leads to the mainframe.
John slowly took out the metal cutter and cut the lock off the door; he slowly removed the glowing metal and opened the door.
John walked in with Orin close behind.
"Watch out- "John barely managed to get out as a need went through the scales of the sneak suit and penetrated his neck.
"Holy mother fucker-"John responded as immense pain surged through his body.
"What the?" john asked as he look at the aggressor.
It was Yura.
"Why are you, what are you." Orin began to stutter as he surprisingly looked up at Yura.
John attempted to say something but a hand clamped over his mouth.
"Don't say anything; we don't want another trail following us like on the last stunt you guys pulled." Yura said looking at the confused duo.
John again started to say something but the hand clamped down harder, so instead Orin asked for him.
"What are you doing here and what do you mean by previous stunt?" Orin asked.
"I'm guessing the same thing you two are here to do, to send this tower into the river, and by previous stunt I mean braking into the armory, I barely managed to keep you two arrogant punks from being caught." She responded, spitting out the last words.
"I wasn't aware they were close." Orin responded.
"Ya. John's condition almost got you two caught." She finally let go of john's mouth, he finally took a long needed breath. They both knew what she meant by condition, john had a chronic lung disease which made the tissue deteriorate, which made a trail of Johns DNA, due to this he had to have a lung refit every couple of years.
"What I just gave you, should in theory stabilize you, so hopefully we don't get caught." She continued.
"Now if I may how do you two intend to take this hunk of metal down?" she asked.
John, taking a much needed breath and replied "turn of the lifters and destroy the power supply."
"Crude but effective." she simply replied
"And your plan?" Orin asked looking at his history teacher, in the middle of the mainframe of a floating building.
"Slowly reduce the power of the lifters and have a hologram of the building still be transmitted, no one should notice till it is too late."
"Did I mention we brought jammers and something to break those codes?" John announced as he pointed to the numerous transmitters and keypads scattered throughout the complex.
"What ever, get started on your plan, we'll call it plan B and plan C in case mine goes wrong."
"Since when did we start taking orders from you?" Orin asked, looking Yura straight in the eyes.
"Since I saved both of you from getting caught by the specials." She stated plainly.
"Whatever "Orin replied and they started to get to work.
****later****
"Done" Orin responded, holding up a remote that would trigger the acid.
"Same." John added
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck this isn't working. John hit it!" Yura yelled as she walked away from the work station.
"COMON!" John yelled as he furiously slammed on the enter key of his laptop
"Orin." Yura yelled.
After a second of delay Orin yelled back "the wires are reinforced it's useless!"
Both john and Yura approached John's position looking at the thick wires.
John slowly took out his knife and began to saw threw the cables.
"Lifters 1-4 offline" a computerized voice came over the com system.
"Lifters 5 and 6 offline, emergency lifters activating." The voice continued "2 minutes until critical failure."
"John how thoes jammers going?" Yura asked.
"They've been running for the last 5 minutes."
"I think we should be going now!" Orin yelled as the building started to slow descended, he quickly pulled up the hood of his sneak suit.
"Ya" john responded as he started to go for the door, he opened it but on the other side there was a wall of metal bars blocking the path.
"Drop locks system." John replied to Yura's confused face, she still looked confused but john quickly went around her to the other door, standing at the other side of the circular room, even though there boards wouldn't be waiting on the other side but it's still better then drowning.
"Surprise." John announced as that door also had bars behind it, ceiling them in.
"Ideas?" Yura asked, looking around at the descending room.
"We could cut through them." Orin suggested, pulling out the cutting tool they had used on the lock.
"Would take too long, those are reinforced titanium." John responded.
"Well its gona get very wet very fast!" John yelled after a second of silence, water slowly started to fill the floor.
"The ceiling" Yura exclaimed, john and Orin both looked at her puzzled.
"It's made of soft material so when drunken pretties get knocked out they don't get a concussion, we should be able to easily cut to through that." She explained.
"Small detail none of us are 12 feet tall, last time I checked!" Orin responded looking at the ceiling.
"Then we wait." She said calmly, watching the water slowly trickle into the room.
"THAT IS A TERRIBLE PLAN! POSSIBLY DO TO THE FACT THAT THERE IS OVER 12 MEGAWATS RUNNING THROUGH THOUGHS CABLES WE CUT!" John exclaimed pointing at the wires.
"Good point." She calmly stated.
"Are you ever not calm?" Orin asked, looking around the room for another way to escape.
After a couple of seconds John realized something " This system is drop-lock , which means there is no power running thru the system, so the wires would have to be dead, the plan would work fine," the two of them looked at him ,suspicious but they did see his logic.
"What about the lights?" Orin asked pointing to the still on spheres.
"They're running on backup batteries, there not connected to the main systems." Yura explained.
The water came in, faster now quickly overwhelming the trio. As the water grew they began to tread water. Eventually the water filed up high enough to allow them to start cutting the ceiling with the tools; in a matter of seconds a circular piece of the ceiling fell into the water sizzling as its hot edges came in contact with the freezing water.
John and Orin quickly climbed up onto the next level Yura following them.
The next level was the same as the previous, bars surrounding the room but luckily the next ceiling as only 8 feet tall so they began cutting as soon as they stood up.
"So what did I get on my last test?" Orin asked, looking as Yura as the sparks flew.
"Is this really the time?" john interrupted before Yura replied.
Simultaneously they both replied "yes!"
"You got a 70." She stated as the ceiling dropped out john gave Orin a boost and he jumped up, helping the other up she continued while they were on the next level. "I dint really think that you studied for it, your answered were kind of generic."
"Generic?" Orin asked, looking strangely at her.
"One more level!" John interrupted.
They again began to cut the ceiling, for the final time. This time when the floor fell they found an unusual site. An afraid pretty was looking at them, her world just collapsed and she was surrounded by 2 sneak suited figures and a middle pretty, an odd combo.
The young pretty started to scream but Orin quickly silenced the young pretty with a kick in the face.
"No, no, no." Yura started, "you have to through them down the well." She, with johns helped threw the unconscious body into the water; it fell down a flight of level before it impacted the approaching water.
"Isn't that murder or something?" Orin asked looking at the drowning body.
"Meh" John responded and walked away, they quickly ran towards the outside door, but due to the lack of power and the pressure difference it could not be opened.
"O shit" Orin responded, looking at the ceiling, it was 30 feet high and reinforced.
"We gota cut through the door!" Yura exclaimed looking at the door.
They quickly started but it was obvious that they wouldn't finish until the water was at least near the ceiling, in which time they could all very likely drown.
When the water reached their height level Orin and john quickly took out the rebreather and kept working, they weren't even a fourth of the way done and the water was cooling the cutting head, making the work slow down.
Yura approached the emergency mask and took one out.
They kept cutting, until john quickly poked Orin, signaling that his metal cutter had run out of energy, effectively useless. John turned around to see dead bodies, tons of them floating in the water. The morons dint know how the swim which was not surprising, even if the pretties could most of them wouldn't be strong enough to tread for very long.
After another minute of cutting through the door Orin's metal cutter ran out of energy ran out, they then tried to open the door but unfortunately did not budge.
Orin signaled for them to reach the top of the room, where there was still a medium sized air pocket left.
The finally reached the top and john spit out his rebreather and yelled above the rushing water "what now?"
"I don't know?" Orin responded.
"The batteries!"John exclaimed point towards the floor.
"Assuming that the batteries is still operation, assuming we can charge the cutter with, and finally but not least assuming that the rebreathers wont run out. Yura pointed out
"Any other option?" Orin asked.
"No!" John responded as he quickly put on his rebreather, he then put his feet against the ceiling and pushed off, from there he swam down, he quickly went through the levels finally approaching the bottom level.
With his knife he carefully removed one of the tiles off the ceiling and removed the casing around a light to reveal a battery hooked up to a florescent light.
He removed the leads from the battery and took removed it from its casing. He started to swim back up, the battery weighing him down made it take a lot longer to reach the top then it did for him to reach the bottom. When he finally reached half way his rebreather gave out, he quickly spat it out and with a renewed vigor swam towards the top.
He finally reached the small air pocket where Orin and Yura were waiting; he took a gasp of breath, the air surging into his lungs, relieving the burning.
"Here!" he gasped handing the battery to Yura.
She quickly grabbed the cutter out of Orin's hand and with a gasp of relief she plugged it in, a small ring came from the cutter.
John retried his cutter from one of the many pockets on his sneak suit and handed it to Yura who plugged it in next to the other. They treaded there for a couple of seconds until Yura announced good enough and removed the cutters, she was about to hand 1 to John but over his coughing he responded.
"I'm good; you two can get it done."
They both quickly dived down to the door, from his position John could see the door becoming red, they had to restart from nothing since the door had cooled since the original cutting had become.
Finally there had become so much bodies and debris in the water that he could no longer see the door. After waiting till the water filled up the air pocket he started to dive for the door, it took an incredible amount of time, dodging through the bodies and junk. Eventually, by the time he had reached the door which was gone and an open hole was all that remained he began seeing spots at the edge of his vision. He began to swim towards to surface, with the last dregs of energy he pushed towards the surface, his need of oxygen increasing. Finally when he was nearing the surface his energy faded and he did lost his will to live, he slowly gave up, until something grabbed the sneak suit by the back of the neck and hauled him up onto a small piece of land.
"This isn't Pearl Harbor but it's still a bad place to be." John could not recognize his rescuer, his mind was foggy and he could not think clearly, normal simple ideas became complex. He started coughing up water, he started to breath in the salty river air as a wave of acceleration hit him, he did not resist as a foot was planted on his back, keeping him from falling off the unknown surface.
Eventually he stopped moving and was kicked off the surface by the same boot that had kept him from falling off earlier, he fell about a foot onto a solid surface, and he slowly rolled over to see his unknown rescuer.
"Who the hell?" He began to ask.
"A friend." His rescuer responded as the unknown person quickly flew away. The black silhouette of the unknown rescuer slowly fading.
He heard someone approaching, footsteps.
"Orin?" John asked looking up at his old friend.
"Ya, I was going to get you but someone else got to you first, that person probably saved you." He responded, anticipating the question he friend would no doubt ask.
"Yura?" john croaked, sitting up against a nearby tree.
"I don't know, but before she disappeared she told me this never happened, and not to mention it ever again." Orin replied sitting down on his nearby hover board.
John nodded, and looked up at the hover cars flying around, there were tons, ambulances and warden cars flying everywhere but the odd part was they were not flying to the sinking tower; they were flying in the opposite direction.
"Also if the thought had crossed your mind that Yura was your rescuer I can safely say no." Orin said looking up at the hover cars when he noticed Johns interest in them.
"I'm going to sleep." John plainly stated as he pulled his sneak suit hood over his head, making his his whole body invisible.
"Not a bad idea." Orin responded laying down on his board.
Note this is not the end.
Ps I'm working on editing it, I've gone through it a bunch of times but it is 16 pages.
