//------------------------------// // Next time, try someone more gullible // Story: The Quiet Kid // by aegishailstorm //------------------------------// William walked down the hallways, until he and the mages came to a laboratory of sorts. "Alright, so what do you want me to do now?" Asked William. " Try summoning a weapon of sorts." "And how do I do that?" "Try thinking of one", said Blackeye. He thought of his fathers handgun, a simple Glock 19, he could feel a tingling feeling in his hand, followed by glowing sparks. However his enthusiasm was short lived, and the sparks soon vanished. "Keep trying human-er... William, you will get it eventually. Me and my fellow mages are going to rest, that spell we performed took quite a bit out of us." "There are guards by the door, ask them if you need anything." "Thank you for you support "William grunted, raising his middle finger. the 3 mages left the room, leaving William alone under a flickering magic light. "Better get practicing" He said to himself, cracking his neck. 4 hours later... After several LONG hours of practicing, he had finally seemed to have gotten the hang of it. It was tiring at first, but he finally got the hang of it, sort of. He still needed... 'Live test subjects'. Just then, the 3 mages walked in. Back from their nap and brimming with joy. " Alright", He thought to himself "this is my chance to enact my plan." "So, William... Have you figured it out?" "Well, yes." He shrugged, and clapped. "Can we see?" Asked Razor, buzzing closer. William manifested a Glock 19 into his hand and racked the slide. "...What does it do?" Asked all 3 of the mages at the same time." "Wehehellll........That's a secret." "Why?" Asked Hunter, claws impatiently scraping at the stone floor below. William turned back to the table, and made the Glock disappear. Instead manifesting a silenced MP5, or "MP5SK." Something that was out of his reach as a civilian normally, but... Normal, didn't apply now. "What are you doing?" Asked the mages in unison. "You know, I knew all about what you were planning and what you meant by 'help' as soon as you said it. I'm not an Idiot." So, next time, try someone more gullible rats!" He spun around, and put a 9mm round through each of the mages heads with an almost insidious laugh. "What was that?!"Yelled the 2 guards outside, scrambling through the doorway with spears raised. They turned into the room, only to be met by 2 more bullet's from Williams MP5SK. They dropped dead in puddles of their own blood. He now stood alone, surrounded by the bodies of the mages and the guards. "I Can't believe I just did that..." He said out loud, He could feel his heart beating, he wasn't used to the adrenaline. "Well there's no time to freak out now. I've got to get out of here!" He dragged the bodies of the guards into the room, and shut the doors to the doors as best as he could. He needed to get out of there, but he wasn't going to make it it of there as he stood currently. Even with his new submachine gun, he couldn't take dozens of them at once unarmored. "I'm going to need some protection, and more firepower if I'm going to make it out of here alive." He knew just the thing for the job. He made the MP5SK disappear, and in its place manifested a fully loaded M249 SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon). Complete with a full sack of ammunition. With some difficulty, he was able to figure out how to feed the belt through and charge the bolt. Alongside his new gun, he manifested a full suit of military grade riot gear. Covering his entire body in digital camouflage Nomex, and Kevlar plates. Alongside a good Kevlar helmet. "Alright, in the wise words of Anakin skywalker..." "This Is were the fun begins." He opened up the door. And stepped out into the hallway. "Just got to get someone to tell me were the exit to this place. Not too hard! " He walked down the now dimly lit hallways. until he came to a crossroads, standing there was a Griffon and Changeling guard. "Changelings are all obedient to their queen, that one won't tell me anything." He casually strolled towards them. "Hey, do you guys know were the exit Is?" "Take a right at this intersection, then keep goin-WAIT WHAT WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING HER-" "Thank you both" He put a 5.56 round through both of them, the sound of the gunshots making him wide awake. He turned right, and walked for about 5 minutes until he came to the entrance, more guards surrounded it. He ducked behind a support pillar, manifested an M67 frag grenade into existence, pulled the pin, and threw it as hard as he could in their direction. William could hear confused yelling, followed by the loudest thing he had ever heard. He got out from behind The pillar, and saw the bodies of about a dozen guards, some more or less intact than others, but all of them dead. He could here alarm bells ringing out in the distance and shouting. Well, If they didn't know what I was up to before, they sure do now!" He ran through the destroyed gates, and found himself in what appear to be the equestrian version of an air base. He could see griffons and channelings running towards him. Wasting no time at all, he ducked behind a boulder, and opened fire on the group. The first 10 or so went down easy, but things changed when he saw them turn and run. "Wait, why are they running?" He Heard a bellowing growl, and saw the massive form of a dragon appear in the sky, and it was headed straight for him. almost instinctively he manifested and RPG 7 into existence, braced for the recoil, and pulled back on the 2 stage trigger, just like YouTube had taught him. To his satisfaction the rocket hit center mass, sending the drake tumbling out of the sky. He took advantage of the chaos, to blast a hole in the perimeter wall of the base. He then ran faster than he ever had in his whole life, away from burning base, and into the forest. He ran, and ran, and ran. until he finally collapsed from exhaustion. "that was the most terrifying and exciting thing that I have ever done in my life, ever. He switched on his night vision googles, and looked around. "No ones following me, that good." "I can't start a fire. so I guess I'm sleeping out under the stars tonight." And speaking of stars, there were more of them out that night than he had ever seen before. Even when he and his family went camping up in the sierra's, he hadn't seen this many before. He chuckled "Guess this is what you get when you don't have light pollution." He crawled over under a tree, and hugging his rifle tightly, Fell asleep. Wonder, Despite how terrifying his situation was, he couldn't wait for the next day.
