“Where did you even get this piece from? It must’ve taken a while for you to find it i’m guessing, I would’ve never guessed it would’ve come from you.’’ ‘’Well to be completely honest, it sorta just fell into my hands. When I was walking in the neighborhood a while ago, I tripped on a curb and something had fallen from one of the trees which was the green metallic battery. I was confused at what it was or what it was doing up in a tree. I decided to keep it hidden,since it may have been valuable to keep.” “Well, at least we now have the last piece in our possession and can finally find the source of this place. Give me some time to prepare and I'll be outside.” I sprinted towards my front door and opened it and paced eagerly towards Skip. I inserted the final battery and a map popped up which showed the exact coordinates of where to go. I put the coordinates on my GPS and also had begun packing things to bring along. I’d assume she had begun packing her belongings as well, but I guess both of us would be in a rush to get there. After a long while, I had gotten the feeling of hope back. Hopeful that…. I can actually save humanity and return the now hellscape into a world full of normality. Of course I couldn’t simply have full confidence,but I was willing to try anyway. If I didn’t, then the world would just stay the same fate as it already is. The trip I was about to endure would be quite the long journey,(as I would’ve expected) so I needed to get a lot of supplies ready for that endeavor. I’ll be hopefully able to stop by stores to get other supplies we’ll need. I wasn’t sure how long each of us would take; most of the time it takes up to 1 hour for someone like me to pack. Although I did need to do some quick shopping first. For her it might be shorter or longer, guess maybe she wants to be extra prepared. I don’t have a phone to text or call her, so I guess I'll wait for an hour then knock on her door.
While the clock ticks, this can give me stop to go do some shopping. I went towards her house and knocked loudly so she could hear me clearly. She opened the door and said she would be done in another 10 minutes. Well, at least she was almost ready with all the supplies she would bring along on the trip. ‘’So it would seem your time is almost up”. An ominous voice which was very familiar had just echoed around my area. ‘’Come out you metallic bastard.” “Ho-ho, why, we meet again. It's been quite a while since you and I have seen each other. It seems you’ve actually managed to find the final piece, it must’ve been “V-ery e-easy” to obtain all of them that quickly huh?” “I’ll admit I'm surprised they were that quick to find too,but it doesn't matter now.” “You don’t find it suspicious?” “What are you inferr-”. As I was about to finish my question Melody was out the door with some of her bags full of supplies. “Alright, well I’m done packi-. Uh, who or what is that?” “Don’t mind that jester, he is just a snarky asshole.” He-Hey now, no need to be vulgar with words, I have feelings too ya know? And this is your friend I presume, she definitely seems like the type to end up pathetic like you.” “Shut the hell up”, I said with rage which is now boling in me. “Aw-Aww, did I somehow strike a nerve? Maybe I could cut off all of them, so you don’t feel any pain, maybe it could stop all of your screaming as I slowly slic-. Heh-heh,my bad, it seems I had an error at fault. No need to worry, I was only jo-joking about it(for now).” “Why are you still here huh? It’s best if you piss off and go off doing your own thing.” “Hmm, I cooould,BUT, I think it’s best I see you off instead.” “What even are you?” Melody asked. “Hmm,oh me? Well, I’m not related to any of those creatures. Did a DNA test so nothing came up on the results, who knows exactly what I truly am. Am I an ant, a tree, a cheetah, a bird, or am I a human? So many questions that I don’t think we’ll know the answer to. You can keep guessing tho, I won’t try and stop you. And hell, maybe I'll even give you the correct answer when I get the chance.” So he wasn’t exactly one of those creatures,but something else entirely. I couldn’t tell if this information was at all worrying or not. Also the fact he could be a human at all is definitely unsettling to think about. “Cmon Melody,let’s just leave this creep and leave this place. He’ll only cause us more trouble if we stay here with him any longer.” “Oh,c-cmon,I'm not that bad of a person to be around. I’m so full of personality; don’t forget appearance also, I got the looks that you could just d-die for.” “You don’t look that unique, honestly I've seen much more sleek designs than you.” “Um,no you have not. I highly doubt you could find anything cooler than me. I’m one of a kind, the ultimate supreme and don’t you forget it.” “Whatever.. There is no time for wasting,we're off and you should be too.” “I suppose you’re right, I should be leaving now, I wouldn’t want to waste your “precious” time. I know we’ll meet soon anyways,whether in death or in life. See you then!”
He spun into his portal and disappeared.(“I know we’ll meet soon anyways,whether in life or death”) these words kept repeating in my mind. I’m not sure why,but it put me on edge and the hope I had was slowly fading away. “Don’t let him get you, he is only trying to put despair into us and make us lose hope.” “Ye-yea, I really shouldn’t let him get to us, we’ll only be putting more doubt on our chests which will lead us to more problematic troubles.” She was right, he was basically just trying to make us lose our hope, we really need to focus on our task at hand and ignore whatever problems or situations like that come up. Hopefully I won’t be able to see him that often. I can just imagine him snickering to himself at my despair with a container of popcorn;my whole desire to save the world would be nothing more than a thriller at a movie theater for him. Yea, guess this is what he really wants, I feel stupid for letting my self lose all the hope I just had only for some asshole to take it away with some pety threats. “Anyways… I got stuff for the “roadtrip”, mainly things like food,water and clothes.” “I gathered tools for any combat, and on top of that, I have some materials for crafting. I’ve also contemplated making custom made guns I had made in my spare time.” “But aren’t people who are good with blacksmithing, usually good with handling weapons like spears and swords?” “Yea,but I wanted to expand my ray of tools and thought non close-combat weapons would be useful in general. Also don’t worry, I had bought lots of ammo for us to use.” “That’s pretty smart of you, let's just hope we don’t run out of any ammo during our trip.” “I can’t guarantee we will,but I can tell we won't just be using them willy nilly.” “Well, it seems like we’re all good to set sail on our trip. I think this is a really important moment in our lives. This trip will determine where our journey takes us in the end. Let's hope for the best and look towards the future. Let's finish this together!”
