RIING! RIING!
It was 7:00 in the morning, everyone would've woken up by now. But not this boy, he was still asleep. "Ungh..." he groaned as he tried smacking his alarm clock, but he kept on missing everytime. Suddenly, someone burst into his room.
SLAM!
"Hey! Wake up you lazy-ass boy! It's already 7:01 and you're still in bed!"
"Ungh... L-Let me sleep a little more..."
"Hey! Get up you!"
FWOOP!
"O-Okay! I'm up! I'm up!"
It was Hazel, his foster sister. Her father was his foster father and her biological father, Professor Mark. Hazel had taken the sheets off of her brother who was called Cody. Cody said he was up, before getting out of bed and heading downstairs.
Once Cody got down, he saw that there was pancakes, butter, maple syrup and orange juice on the table. A classic breakfast. However, he didn't seem too happy about it. In fact, he didn't seem happy about getting up in general at all. "Cody, what's wrong with you?! Why aren't you happy? We've made breakfast for you!" said Hazel, "I hate getting out of bed early in the morning and I especially hate Mondays." replied Cody before he started lazily eating his food.
After breakfast, Cody and Hazel went to school. Professor Mark gave them goodbyes, though Cody didn't return it. Then, they both started walking down the street. Along the way, they separated from each other. That's because they both went to different schools. Cody went to a school called "St. Irish Academy", it was just like any other school ever. While Hazel went into a school named "Cerebrum Academy". Cerebrum Academy is one of the most prestigious schools in town, only the smartest students were able to enter there. And Hazel was one of them, as early as the age of 5 she already made her first invention. A small laser blaster. It wasn't much in terms of technology in this dimension, but it was certainly better than what an average person could do.
When Cody went towards his school, he grunted. He didn't like it one bit, but he had to do it anyway. So he did. He went past the already open schoolgates before heading towards his classroom which was Class 1-C.
While Cody was walking down the hallway, three boys had blocked him. Their names were Andrew (the leader), Zack and Mack. They were Cody's bullies. Cody would often fight back, but this usually resulted in him getting shoved in a locker or beaten up.
"Well well well, if it isn't the gaming geek!"
"Just passing through, Andrew. So move. Or do I have to move you myself?!"
"Big talk comin' from someone who's all alone."
The bullies circled around Cody, who prepared to fight. Then, it happened. Cody tried to swing at Andrew, but he got his arm twisted and he got shoved inside another locker. Again.
SLAM!
"H-Hey! Let me out!"
Cody banged on the locker door as he tried to get out, but Andrew just laughed. After that, he and his friends went away.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Hey! Someone please get me outta here! Help!"
Cody tried banging on the locker's door as much as he could, but he couldn't break free. Just then
CLICK!
THUMP!
"Oomph!"
Someone had set him free. "Th-Thanks..." Cody said awkwardly, before dusting himself off and preparing to turn away and walk the opposite direction. However, before he could
"Umm... h-hi."
"Hi."
The girl who had set him free suddenly said hi to him, Cody replied in the same manner awkwardly. Then, the girl added "My name's Maddie, what's yours?". "Cody." Cody plainly replied. "So umm... I'm kinda new here... Wanna be friends?" Maddie asked, "Ew, no." Cody immediately replied with a disgusted look on his face. "Huh? B-But why?!" Maddie asked shocked and confused. "First of all, I don't like people whether they be a meek little girl or some stupid fuckin' assholes. Second of all, you look like the kind of person who'd be so clingy it'd be annoying." Cody replied. "A-All I said was hi and do you want to be friends..." Maddie said weakly, "Forget it."
snapped Cody, before he walked away. "Well, I never!" said Maddie flabbergasted and shocked.
After school...
After school, Cody was more than ready to go home. But then
"Hiii Cody!"
"Oh no..."
-It was Maddie! She was back again and wanted to try making friends with him one more time. Cody rolled his eyes in annoyance and said "What do you want?", "Hi Cody! I was just thinking maybe you were just in a bad mood earlier from being bullied. So I decided to try and be friends with you again!" Maddie answered excitedly. "I already told you, NO." Cody said more firmly this time, "B-But why?!" Maddie asked again. "Didn't I already tell you?!" Cody added even more annoyed. "Well... yeah. But it's important to make friends you know. If you're alone, it'll be very hard." Maddie added, "Go away!" shouted Cody. Maddie was shocked. Then, she pouted before shouting "F-Fine! I'll go! Hmph!" and stomping off. "Idiot." Cody mumbled to himself as she left. Then, he walked back home all by himself.
When he got back home, he found Hazel and Professor Mark sitting in the living room's couch. "Oh, hey Cody." said Hazel, "Hey." Cody replied back weakly before he went straight to his room and started playing his favorite video game "Paint Brawlz". Paint Brawlz is about living and fighting paintballs, it could be played in single player or multiplayer. While Cody was playing...
CRASH!
"AAH!"
Someone crashed through his room's window! It was a man dressed in all black clothing! He held a gun towards Cody, before shouting "Freeze! And put your hands up in the air!". Cody immediately put his hands up. Then, the man started unplugging Cody's controller before taking it. "Wh-What're you doing?! That's just a controller." Cody asked confused, but the man ignored him and placed it inside a bag. Then, he jumped out of the window before driving off in a black car.
VROOOM!
Suddenly, Professor Mark came in. "Cody! What happened here?!" he asked as he saw the room, it was now a bit of a mess. Well... more than it usually is considering Cody is pretty messy in general. "Y-Yeah, I-I'm fine. But some crazy guy pointed a gun at me and took my controller." Cody replied. "Wh-What?! You kids stay here!"
Professor Mark replied, before rushing downstairs and heading straight for the garage. When he opened the garage door, there was a go-kart-like vehicle inside it. It was one of his inventions. Mark then hopped in it and started its engine, before driving off.
VROOOM!
"What was that all about?!" asked Hazel confused, "I... I don't know." Cody replied. "You think we should follow him?" Hazel asked, "YOU follow him. I'm gonna find another controller." replied Cody. "You're crazy. All you care about is video games!" Hazel snapped back, before rushing towards the garage as well. She used a small remote that she secretly made so that she could open its door again. Once its door opened, she was able to get inside. She then pressed some secret buttons, which activated a hidden lift. There on the lift was a car similar to Professor Mark's, but with a slightly different paintjob. She quickly hopped in it, before starting its engine. Then, she followed Professor Mark.
VROOOM!
Hazel followed the roads which her father took, there were tire marks on some parts of it which allowed her to take those roads easily. Eventually, she was able to catch up to her father.
"Dad! Dad!"
"Hazel?!"
"Dad, look out!"
BANG!
"AAH!"
The man tried shooting at one of Professor Mark's tires, but since it was made of special rubber it just bounced off of it. Just then, Professor Mark fired back with a laser blaster and managed to put some dents on the man's car. "Damn it!" the man shouted, before he tried firing at Professor Mark's car some more. But he barely made a scratch to it. Then, Mark fired a small onboard missile at the car.
BOOM!
The car's engine was damaged, it screeched to a halt before crashing into a streetlight. "Ungh..." the man groaned as he tried to get out of the car, but he was too weak right now. Then, Professor Mark pulled up alongside him. He got out of his vehicle and rushed towards the man's car. He broke its front left window and grabbed the man by his suit before throwing him into the ground.
"Heeyah!"
THUMP!
"Oomph!"
The man was thrown to the ground. Professor Mark pinned him, before shouting "Give me back that controller you-". But before he could finish what he was saying,
someone yelled "Dad!". It was Hazel, she had come to help her father just in case. But there was no need to do that, as Professor Mark had the man pinned to the ground. He took the controller back from him and killed him with his blaster. Then, he drove back.
Once Professor Mark got home, he returned Cody's controller. Then, he slumped down on the couch. "Oh man, that was exhausting." he thought, before taking a nap.
Meanwhile, Cody didn't know what to do with the controller now. He did get it back, but there were a bunch of other controllers he could use. That was weird, why did Professor Mark go to such lengths for one controller? Maybe because it's disrespectful to take someone else's property? But he had never seen Professor Mark drive in such a rush chasing after something what most people would consider trivial and could be bought in stores or online. Oh well, at least he had his controller back. Not like he really cared all that much anyway. He had a bunch of different controllers, and he could just use them whenever one went missing like in this case. But you've got to wonder... why would Professor Mark go to such lengths for something so trivial? Who knows? Perhaps there was more to this than he thought, he didn't even notice that some of the controller's buttons started glowing green.
