Destiny: A True Story
Chapter 1
Hey. What's… what's going… on?
Wake up, Guardian… you must wake up…
Who is that? Who… am I? This all feels… strange…
Please wake up, Guardian… We don't have much time…
Leave… me alone… I don't even… know you…
"Wake up Guardian!" said a loud, robotic voice.
"Yahhhh!" the human yelled. "What the heck? Where… am I?" The person surveyed the room.
The room was very bright, with many lights going on and off at random intervals. The room was a complete wreck, with many machines and devices strewn across the floor, either damaged or in working condition. Garbage of many shapes and sizes were suck across the floor, and piled up in corners. The person was standing on a 2-feet high hospital bed, with many tools on the sides of it. It looked like an average hospital that was somehow abandoned for many years. The one odd thing out of the whole place… was the floating robot toy.
It had eight spikes, four in front, and four in back that spinned every time the piece of machinery moved. It was floating in front of the human with ease, and in the middle of the mass of metal was a small camera-shuttering eye that looked straight at the human.
"Very interesting…" the robot said curiously. Then a shimmering light escaped from the Ghost and went down the whole entire frame of this human.
"Everything seems to be in order," the robot said approvingly. "You are in perfect condition."
"Who are you?" the human asked questionably.
"Oh, I totally forgot to introduce myself," the robot said embarrassed. "I am Unit-89UK37459. Or commonly known as a Ghost."
"Ok then Ghost. My name is... is…" the human pondered in thought. "My name… what is my name?"
Ghost shaked his body side to side, as a sign of disapproval. "First of all, my name is Ghost, but if you prefer that, that is exceptional. Secondly, I believe you are facing a form of amnesia, which is even worse," Ghost said worryingly. "This could prove to be very troublesome…"
"Wait… I think… I think it was… Aesther. Aesther Cullan," Aesther said approvingly.
Ghost looked at Aesther with surprise. "So you are remembering!"
"Maybe… but I don't know… anyway, can you tell me where to find the others?"
"What others…?"
Aesther looked at Ghost with shock. "Wait… don't tell me that…"
Ghost pondered and then gasped. "Oh! I know what you're talking about…" Ghost paused for an moment. "Yes… they almost all perished…"
"No… no way… wait. Almost?"
Ghost nodded. "Of course. A small city full of humans survived. That's why…" Ghost projected an image of an sub-machine gun, and it solidified into an real one. "…we're getting you out of here. Let's go."
