World War Three - The Droids


Blipo

Recommended Posts

Scene: Flordia, America

 

 

 

Date and Time: January 13, 2011 - 1830hours

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The droids trudged through the city wordlessly, guns in hand, blasting away at the armymen that had filled the street. In the back of the robotic army, robots with rocket launchers fired at tanks, blowing them to smithereens. There was carnage all over the streets. A woman ran across the street, screaming for mercy. A blast from a droids gun knocked her down.

 

 

 

Jeff looked around intently for more victims.

 

 

 

This was the best Virtual Reality game ever. It was so real. Then, suddenly, across his visor flashed these words:

 

 

 

GAME OVER

 

 

 

please return your droid to the nearest carrier station

 

 

 

Jeff swore under his breath. It was just getting good.

 

 

 

He speedwalked, along with the others, to a carrier station, where his droid was picked up by a machine and put onto a rack.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scene: VR station, Germany

 

 

 

Date and Time: January 13, 2011 - 1900hours

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jeff stepped off the VR pad, and loooked around. He was in a room full of pods. Kids were stepping out of the pods via doors. Each one of them had gloves, boots, helmets, and what looked like a toy gun, all covered in blinking lights. They all took this stuff off, and hung it up on wracks. Then they left.

 

 

 

Jeff was the last one out. He took off his VR equippment slowly, wishing he could keep playing. He was playing a game on the brand new VR, or Virtual Reality machines. When he left he handed a door guard his score card, and the man paid him a small sum of money. He scored 562, so he recieved EE$28.10. On his way home he stopped at the bank and deposited his earnings.

When he got home he hung up his coat and stat down at his chat-comm.

 

 

 

A chat-comm is like a telephone - sit down and talk to a friend. But a chat-comm, or CC, is handsfree, and you can see the other person.

 

 

 

Anyways, he turned it on and set up a connection to Catelyn. Catelin had been his girlfriend for a year now; they met playing the VR game.

 

 

 

Jeff's screen flickered, and then displayed a picture of Catelyn.

 

 

 

"Jeff! Hi! How's it going?"

 

 

 

"Great," jeff replied, "and happy birthday. Did you play WW3 today?"

 

 

 

"Ya, I was in Australia. Where were you?"

 

 

 

"Nice, bloody, gory Florida."

 

 

 

"Have fun?"

 

 

 

"Oh, ya!"

 

 

 

"Hey Jeff," Catelyn started up, "you know how we only get two hours of game time right? And then we have to switch?"

 

 

 

"Ya, that's THE worst part of the game."

 

 

 

"Well guess what." Catelyn was getting exited; this had to be good.

 

 

 

"What?"

 

 

 

"I became the top player today! And since it's my birthday, they said that On a Saturday I can have the whole day, along with all my friends!"

 

 

 

Jeff stared at the CC, not believing what he had heard.

 

 

 

"Your joking."

 

 

 

"No! So, do you want to come?"

 

 

 

"I'd love to! What time and where?"

 

 

 

"Next week, starting at 0930 hours."

 

 

 

"Al right, I'll be there!" Jeff's mom started yelling at him to do his chores. He swore under his breath. "And I have to go now. Oh well, see ya." Then he clicked off his CC and went to do his moms bidding.

Scene: VR station, Germany

 

 

 

Date and Time: January 29, 2004 - 0920 hours

 

 

 

He looked around the VR station. A game was just ending now, so he stepped aside to make room for the kids who were leaving.

 

 

 

A few minutes later, Catelyn, Jen, Kyle, and Ben walked in. Catlyn, obviously, was my girlfriend. Jen was Catelyn's friend, and Kyle was Jen's girlfriend. Ben was a tag-along. He went wherever he wanted. He was everybodies friend.

"Hi Jeff!" Catelyn called.

 

 

 

"Hi!" I called back. "So we gonna start playing or what?"

 

 

 

A Setter walked up. Setters where secutity guards and the people who ran the game.

 

 

 

"Please hook up and initiate VR. I will start the game in 120 seconds." Then he pushed a button on the wall. We all hurried to a group of pods with a sign saying "VANCOUVER, CANADA". Vancouver was generally agreed to be the best place to fight. Besides the scenery ( what there was left anyway ) there were always people there, ready to fight. Vancouver was a big Canadian city, so it was guarded heavily.

 

 

 

Suddenly, the game started. all there was was him and a panel. He walked up to the panel and selected "Soldier Droid". Soldier Droids where always good to start with. They got you into the mood.

 

 

 

He was suddenly in the body of a Soldier Droid. He looked around. He was in a transport ship. A few other droids where active. He called out.

 

 

 

"I'm loking for Catlyn, Jen, Kyle, and Ben. They here?" A Soldier Droid, a Sniper Droid, and two Vanguards walked over. Jeff could guess at who they were. Catelyn was the Sniper, Jen and Kyle were both Vanguards, and Ben was a Soldier. Ben started up.

 

 

 

"Ok, guys. Here's what we'll do. Me, Jeff, and Catelyn will go up somewhere high up. Catelyn can snipe, I can cover our backs, and Jeff can do general croud control." I laughed. Ben continued. "Kyle, you and your girlfriend can go blow the bejeezus out of the masses. Clear the way when we first get going, kind of thing." There was a jolt. The transport ship had landed.

 

 

 

"All right people let's move move move!"

We ran left. There where a few people around, and in the distance we could hear the whir of army machinery. Me and ben opened fire on the few people left in the great city. We looked around. I spotted an apartment building with about 15 stories. I signalled to the others to follow me, then ran over. We went in and into the stairway. Up, up, up we went until we say a sign saying, "TENTH FLOOR". We walked down a hallway, checking for unlocked doors. We found one, and went in. We went over to the balconey and stepped out. We could see, on the horizon, tanks, trasport vans, and hovercraft. I heard a noise behind me. I spun and fired wildly, but missed. It was a droid.

 

 

 

"Sorry," I called. The droid walked over. It was a vanguard. Oddly enough, he had a sniper gun on a sling behind his back, and a belt of grenades. No droid had mixed weapons like that.
