"Time Capsule: Part Two"
:(Previously):
"ICEEY! GET UP, DAMN!" his yell seemed to echo down the empty street and he immediately dropped down to the ground as an attempt to hide in the shadows. A dim light switched on in the window above and the red curtains were pulled back slowly. There stood little Sammi with her black afro puff knotted from sleep and rubbing her eyes. She unlocked her window and opened it to hang her head out, "Ayo?" Riley crossed his arms and grinned, "We gon' go see somethin' real coo'! C'mon!"
"So what's this happy little reunion for, eh?" Sammi clasped her hands together happily as she reached the top of the hill. Jazmine was leaning against the tree with her eyes in a daze and wobbling with each gust of wind and her little teddy-bear dangling at her side, "Something about stars and planets." Sammi raised an eyebrow menacingly at Riley, "And why the hell am I here?" It was then that Huey looked over at her with his blank expression, "The planets and the moon are being aligned for the first time in centuries tonight. And its been said that each person who witnesses the occurrence partakes in an extraterrestrial account." That was when Jazmine perked up and her rouge puff-pigtails bounced happily, "If you make a wish, it'll come true!" Sammi just rolled her eyes and scoffed, "What a waste of my life. Wishes don't come true and there ain't no extraterr—ooh!" Her aqua eyes widened drastically and she gazed up into the sky. There was a glow of majestic colors glorifying the trail of aligned planets, moon, and a few bright stars.
:(Time Skip):
"ATTENTION CITIZENS OF WOODCREST!" a black suited man announced on an intercom, he was inside the gates looking out at them, "IF YOU DO NOT EVACUATE THE PREMISSES IMMEDIATELY, WE WILL USE MILITARY FORCE! I REPEAT, WE WILL USE MILITARY FORCE!" Oddly enough, the man in the black suit looked very familiar to Huey, "White Shadow..." The government was holding a conspiracy that they didn't want found out, and Huey could see right through it.
"You haven't changed much, Riley," Sammi commented as they walked through their favorite childhood park, "You've still got that CUTE little BABY face that makes me just want to EAT YOU ALL UP!" As she teased him, she poked his cheek gently. "Aight, aight. I'ma let this one go since I haven' seen you in foreva'," Riley said with a snotty look that had shown he really wanted to say something else. Sammi chuckled and scratched him behind his ear tenderly, "Say it... say what you really wanted to!" Riley shook his head. "Aw, come on! It can't be that bad!" she whined with pouty lips. Riley raised an eyebrow, "Aight, but I was tryin' to save you. I was gonna' say you can 'eat me all up' righ' now if you wanna. And then maybe when yo' done I could return tha fava'." Sammi's aqua eyes widened and she scrunched up her nose, "Riley! EW!" She hit his arm playfully and laughed, "Get your head outta the gutter! Damn!" Riley laughed along with her, "See? I warned yo' ass! But did you listen? Psht, NAW!" Sammi shook her head and chuckled lightly as she linked arms with him, "Still the same old Riley from third grade." Riley shrugged and grinned, "Yeah, except I ain't as innocent." Sammi raised an eyebrow at him, "Innocent? When were you EVER innocent?" Riley's grin widened, "Oh, I ain't talkin' 'bout THAT kinda innocent, Iceey." Sammi's eyes widened drastically, "RILEY! God! Dirrrrty!" They laughed together and continued their stroll in the park, just like old times.

"This is Zena McCarthey with Channel Five News, I'm here at the edge of what looks like a massive riot, Richard, and it doesn't look like these angry citizens are going to let down any time soon. Only moments ago was it announced by officials that if, and I quote, "do not evacuate the premisses immediately, military force will be used." I'm here with one man who claims to have been watching the entire protest. Your thoughts, sir?" Jazmine and Cindy watched wide-eyed with fear as they leaned over the counter to the little cafe to listen better. A round black man with uneven eyes and deformed teeth hidden behind his big lips came on screen. Below him came the title, "Uncle Ruckus." Cindy stared at the screen worried, "Huey and Niecee are in there..." But Jazmine was already searching the blurry faces of the crowd for them.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
They were sitting on a bench now and reminiscing old childhood memories together. "Oh! And I can't BELIEVE you actually FELL FOR IT! I mean, GEEZ, it was SOOOO OBVIOUS!" Sammi teased between laughter. Riley nudged her with his shoulder and laughed, "Aye! C'mon! That's ain't right!" Sammi shook her head and nudged him back. Then she grew silent and looked around. Riley became worried, "Aye, what's a matter?" Sammi put her hand to his mouth to keep him silent and listened, "Shush! Do you hear that?" There was screaming and crying erupting from somewhere not too far in the distance. Sirens. Loud sirens. And then gun shots.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Wait! Wait! Something's happened!" Zena cried out through the television set, "I think someone has a—"
"TURN THAT CAMERA OFF!"
Only the high-pitched beeping of the screen was audible and a PLEASE EXCUSE OUR TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES flashed onto the screen. But Jazmine and Cindy weren't there to witness any of this. They had run out of the cafe minutes before.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Oh my god..." Sammi breathed. Before them was a gruesome sight. The police and the SWAT team were frantically set against the rioters in an epic battle. It seems that this once harmless protest for an African country's freedom had turned into the revolution Huey had always desired, but this wasn't what he'd planned for it. Not in Woodcrest. Sammi was breathless from the shock. It was blacks against whites. Guns. Knives. Screams. Cries. Blood. Her knees grew weak and Riley had to grab her quickly to support her, he himself more frightened then he could ever recall in his life. "We need to find your brother," Sammi yelled out to him over the blazing of firing guns. Her voice pressed urgency and worry. If they brought the SWAT team, that means that Huey could be dead by the end of the day.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
"NIECEE! NIECEE!" Huey cried out as he frantically searched the horizon for her. It all happened so quickly.
:(Flashback):
"Niecee, leave," Huey stated sternly with his eyes on the man with the intercom, "Now." Niecee looked over at him with a curious look, "And why should I?" Then she noticed his glare and turned to the man herself, "Huey... who is that man?" Huey rasped, "Niecee, leave." But she stood her ground and put two and two together, "This is it, Huey! The time is NOW!" Then she turned to White Shadow with a devious, yet foolish grin, "YOU CAN USE YOUR MILITARY POWER! WE MAY BLEED BUT WE BLEED WITH MEANING! THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF OUR REVOLUTION! BROTHERS AND SISTER! WILL YOU FIGHT WITH ME FOR OUR LIBERATION?!" And then, Huey was frightened, and for the first time in his life he wished he were somewhere else. As if on cue, sirens sounded and the gates were being torn apart from the crowds energy Niecee had provided them. And before he could grab her and pull her back to sense, she was lost in the crowd.

"Riley! Sammi!" two voice cried out. They turned quickly to be embraced by Jazmine and Cindy who's faces were tear-stained from worry and fright. "Where's Huey?" Jazmine asked frantically as she searched around. "That's what I was 'bout to ask you!" Riley replied, his voice quivering. "C'mon!" Sammi yelled as she pulled them along and they were lost among the crowd.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
"HUEY!"
Huey turned quickly and was shocked to find the four of them without Niecee. "Huey, you have to leave! NOW!" Sammi burst out frantically. His eyes were wide with fear, "NOT WITHOUT NIECEE!"
"WE'VE GOT VISUAL!"
A flood of SWAT members had made their way through the chaos and were looking straight at them. Automatically, Sammi grabbed the nearest object (which happened to be a metal pipe on the ground) and swung with all her might. Cindy and Jazmine grabbed ahold of Huey and began to drag him away with Riley blocking them from unwanted interference. But Riley was tackled down by two men and Jazmine and Cindy were snatched up by two others. Meanwhile, the pipe was knocked out of Sammi's hand and she was thrust to the ground. But none of them refused to give up.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
"HUEY! LOOK OUT!" Riley yelled to his big brother. Huey dodged a punch just in time and counter the action by mercilessly kicking the man in his head and then knocking him back until he fell to the ground motionless. Then he turned to fight back to back with his brother.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
"LET ME GO!" Cindy cried out. The man held her tight and let out a wicked chuckle, "What's a pretty girl like you doing caught up in a mess like this?" Her eyes went wide from fear as she struggled in his arms. He chuckled once more, his icy breath against her neck, "You know I—" Silence followed by painful groans and the sounds of ripping flesh.
He fell to her left and blood gushed from his ears. Cindy panted and looked over at Jazmine, who held a bloody pocket knife in her hand.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
"HI-YA— UHG!" Sammi flew back against the curb and groaned in pain. She rubbed her head and winced at the sight of blood on her fingers. She faltered for a moment, then shot back up with an angry cry.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
"THEY KEEP PERSISTING!" one of the men cackled through he headset, 'There's NO WAY they'll come quietly!"
"Do what's necessary. Just make sure to take him alive."
"What about the others? His friends and his brother?"
There was a thick silence on the other end, but it was only brief.
"Make sure they know nothing."
"And if they do?"
"Make sure none of them are capable of speaking."
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Yeah!" Riley cried out with a cocky grin, "We GOT THESE BITCHES!"
"RILEY!" Huey cried out as he pushed his brother down just in time for a bullet to whizz over there heads, "Now is NOT the time to celebrate!" The girls gasped in fear. Each and every one of them was drenched in sweat and blood. The sky was as red as the blood rain bellow. Bullets tore threw the sky. People fell to the ground with one last cry before an eternity of silence. City Hall was submerged in the eyes of the Devil that hid in the dance of the high flames. The sirens laughed wickedly along with the cackle of the fire. It all mashed into a demonic crescendo that refused to let down. Higher, louder. Higher, louder! HIGHER, LOUDER! HIGHER, LOUDER! HIGHER, LOUD—
Only one single shot was audible at that point. It was as if all the world had gone silent for the grand finale.
And you could hear the laughter and the applauds from the demons and Satan himself, "ENCORE! ENCORE!"
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
"ENCORE! Encore!" it slowly began to fade away.
"Encore. Encore.. Encore... Encore..." Silence.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
The children sat speechless in the grass, their pupils dilated and their mouths dry. Had it all been a horrible illusion? They looked over at one another, wondering if they had all shared the same experience, then looked up at the rainbow of the night fade away as the planets distanced themselves from the moon.

:(Huey):
Some people like to think that they can see the future. And they do see some "visions." But not because they're psychic. It's a proven fact that half of these "seers" are either frauds or under the influence of a hallucinogen. No one can see the future because the future isn't set into stone. It isn't decided for you at birth. You make your own future by your actions in life.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
Jazmine blinked, "H-Huey?" Everyone looked to him with a daze. Huey stood up quietly and looked over his shoulder at them all with his eyebrows furrowed together, his face as emotionless as ever. "Let's go home," he said coolly, "It's probably almost sunrise."
Che'yea! I think this was my favorite to write so far. Tee-Hee
