Chapter five
A few hours earlier...
Montana; Outskirts of Rocky mountains, Near Canadian border...
"Stupid car!" A teen, who wore black cargo shorts, a simple loose blue v-neck, and a black fedora, came out from under the hood of a smoking, rusted old car. He ran a hand through his medium length hair, and accidentally knocked off his fedora. He bent down with a grunt, and picked up and placed it back on his head, slightly cocked to the side.
"Looks like I'm going to be camping out tonight." The teen slumped over and sighed, and shuffled to the back of the car. "At least I was lucky to stop at a small camping's ground." As he pulled up the car door, he reached inside an started to get things out. A few bags filled with clothes and equipment, a small chest full with food and drinks, and a fabric guitar case.
The teen looked up at the fast approaching night with dark blue eyes, and sighed. I better get a move on then. He thought as he flung the bags over his shouldered, picked up the ice chest, and then his guitar case, and moved to the beginning of the camping trail.
As he walked, the teen turned his eyes to the sky, and watched as it started to darkened, and his mind wandered to what he used to call home.
"I don't have time for you, I have a more important business trip than your stupid little band." A man said, and went back to talking on the his phone. It was a dark room, so the teen couldn't really see his father's face, but it was always the same. Emotionless, angry, and stern. The teen his electric Gibson in his hand. The teen bit his lip, and looked back at his father.
"You always say that." The teen said, with a small voice. He was always getting pestered by his father, to actually take up something serious, like the whole family business he didn't know about. All he knew was that it went back for centuries, and the only reason he hadn't seen it was because of his mother, who more less thought nothing of him either. She hated the business, said it was something we shouldn't mess with. Then she would go get drunk or something.
"Listen Nalo, I have no time for your petty matter. You have graduated high school, you need to concentrate on more important matters." The man said with a stern voice, and Nalo gritted his teeth. "You need to work at the family bussiness, it is far more important than...What are you doing?" Nalo had turned around a walked out of the room filled to the brim with emotions, but the ones that felt larger at the moment were hate and sadness.
Nalo stopped reminiscing as he came up to a small camp sight, and began to upacking.
I can not believe he changed so much, StealthJacker thought, as he flied through the air by some strange risen land that seem to into the sky, in stealth mode. Starscream never used to be so violent or hateful. StealthJacker mulled over miserably, and sighed as it got got darker. The F-22 Raptor slowed down as looked for a place to land. There is no point at the moment to wonder why he changed, StealthJacker thought as he saw a opening in a forest for him to land. He lowered himself closer to the ground, and transform into his bipedal form, and stretched his limbs.
He looked through his crimison visor, and was surprised to see a small little structure. He heard unique sounds coming from the structure. A unique melody filled the air, as the sounds started to blend together, and StealthJacker unconsciously started to hum along with it. A soft voice came from the tent, and it was singing with the melody.
"...show me what it's like, to dream in black and white, so I can leave this world tonight." StealthJacker listen to the obvious male's singing, and felt sadden by it. He sat down as he hummed along with the music, and continue to listen to the organic.
Nalo knew someone was out there, he heard the movement of something. As he looked around the small tent, he tried to see if there was any kind of shadows. Seeing none he continued to play, "Holding on too tight, breathe the breath of life." He then heard it, a humming sound, matching the melody of how he was playing his guitar.
He slowly stood up, with guitar in hand, and moved to the opening of the tent. He continue to play along to one of his favorite songs, and steadily continued singing. "So I can leave this wor-rrld behind." Nalo balanced on one foot, and used the other to push open, and gasped at what he saw. A robot, with what look like jet wings, was leaning against a tree, humming along to the song he was playing... or were playing, as he stopped out of surprise.
The robot's humming stopped, and immediately looked at the direction that Nalo was standing. Well ain't this a big problem, He thought, and kinda waved at the robot with one hand, and holding the guitar with the other. He couldn't tell if the robot was actually looking at him cause of some kind of glasses, but it seemed amused.
It gave a small wave back with its own hand, and Nalo shook himself out of his shock. Nalo moved closer, and inspected the large robot. "So, you liked my playing?" He asked, and the robot let loose a deep chuckle.
"Yes it was something I did not suspect in the middle of a...forest?" The robot wondered, and Nalo seemed confused.
"You don't know what a forest is?"
The robot shook his head, "I only arrived here on earth yesterday." The robot looked down, and Nalo, could see sadness in the robots eyes.
"So their must be some more of your kind on the planet, right?" Nalo added, and robot seemed to close eyes and sigh.
"I can't say, but I am looking for a old friend of mine." The robot muttered, and Nalo looked at the robot with concern.
"Do you need help?" Nalo asked, and the being looked at Nalo surprised.
"Why?"
"Why what?" Nalo questioned, and the robot shook his head.
"You do realize we just met?" the robot stated and questioned at the same time, and Nalo laughed.
"Hey, this a good thing for me too." Nalo put one hand behind his head, and smiled up at the robot. "I'm actually being kinda selfish."
"Oh." The bot stated, and seem to think about something for a second. "You could be in possible danger if you come with me."
Nalo shrugged, "I think I will find a way to survive, not like I'm going to die right away." Nalo stifled a yawn as he looked up at the stars, "So, what's your name?"
"My name is StealthJacker." The black and grey covered F-22 Raptor, awsered, and Nalo played a small tone on his guitar, which made the robot cheer up a little.
Nalo couldn't help, but smile and the alien robot, "Well Stealthy, I'm Nalo, nice to meet ya." SteathJacker looked concern about the nickname, but it soon passed.
"Stealthy?"
"Sure, why not, Its a way to bond our friendship." Nalo replied, and SteathJacker chuckled.
"Okay, Kid, but we leave in the morning, okay?" Nalo stuck out his lip in a fake pout, and StealthJacker look saddened again. Nalo looked concerned for his new friend, and started to play a soft tone.
"I'll face out, I'll hold out, I'll reach out for the truth..." as Nalo played along his guitar and sofly sang to the song, he looked out of the corner of the eye to see a small smile placed on StealthJacker's face. After getting through a couple of verses of the song, he stopped playing, and saw his new friend more relaxed.
"You are very good at playing that... what is it?" StealthJacker asked, and Nalo felt a small bit of pride feel his vains.
"It's called a guitar, and it allows people with a certain artistic ability to play it." Nalo explained, but soon a loud yawn escaped him, and he chuckled at StealthJacker's own concern looked. "It's just the way my body tells me that its time to get some sleep."
"Oh," StealthJacker stated, "Well apparently humans do need at least 8 hours of sleep." Nalo nodded at this at turned to walk back to his tent.
He looked over his shoulder at the tall robot, and smiled, "See ya in the morning Stealthy."
