Look. Don't blame me, I'm bored. If people were in here chatting away, I wouldn't have to sink to this level.
Smoke purred from Ant's mouth, drifting into the air, and pulling the life from within him out...
"You shouldn't smoke you know. It's bad for the insides."
Ant looked down at his curry. He wouldn't be suprised if the curry did more damage.
"I can't eat any more." He said. "I'm not feeling too well today."
The man took away Ant's curry, and emptied it into a bucket.
"That'll be 90 credits..." As the man looked up, Ant was no longer at his seat.
"Put it on the slate!" Ant shouted...
Ant had recieved another message. It was from command. Apparently some of the driods had broke lose, killing a few task forces on the way.
Ant got into his hovercar, just a bog standard craft, but the seats were uncomfortable. He knew this would be his last run before he could buy another.
He pulled the craft up, and out of the giant hanger, and into the open air. It was night. You could tell it was night because there were more hovercars around, it usually gets busy at night... Ant looked up at the deep smog that had settled over the city of Pembroke many years ago... not long after Pembroke was declared the new capital of the former British Isles all those years ago... before the war.
Ant remembers it as if it were about 10 years ago, so he expected the details to be a bit foggy.
Professor Miyamoto about 11 years ago invented the next generation of machinary to compete with the Overlords Playchip 3, which was in popular demand with kids...
Under the company name Nintendo, Prof. Miyamoto released the Nintendo chip into the mass market. Hundreds of people brought them, and had them implanted. Some many happy faces... so much peace in the world...
Then something, as always it seemed, went wrong. The chips started to manufuction, taking the persons will of control with it. They produced hundreds of automated psyhcotic killing machines, and Nintendo had no control over them...
The Overlord had ordered that all Nintendo products to be taking off the market, and ordered that Nintendo was shut down.
Ant pulled out of his daydream, and realised that he was heading straight for a building... He pulled up with ease. But someone behind him, who didn't anticipate his move quickly dodged to the left to avoid Ant, and hit the building that Ant was trying to avoid. The sprialling trail of the hovercars smoke reminded Ant to light his cigarette, which was just clasped unlit between his lips. Ant thought he was going insane...
Ant managed to navigate through the rest of the car maze, and ended up at the Overlords headquarters. Sony HQ.
He landed. Finding a space was easy, just land on top of any car already there. Sometimes you would find stacks of cars miles high, with the Jenga like approuch for the man with the bottom car, attempting to remove his car... There had been several "Jenga" accidents in the last few days.
Ant had left his car, climbed down the stack of cars, and entered the building. He proceeded past reception, and walked down the dark stairs. He took the second door on the left, walked around the fountain in the middle of the room to the third door, past the small wildlife display, through the small hall, under the glass bridge, and through the red double doors.
"Who are you?" Said the man inside.
"My names Ant. I'm a Blade Runner."
"Oh... you looking for the Command office. You should have taken the fourth door near the waterfall, this is the lower hall."
"Oh. Ta."

I've been the main part in far too many, and it's my fault. The new story, the sword one, I had something planned for.
I've been the main part in far too many, and it's my fault. The new story, the sword one, I had something planned for.
This story was my favourite.
The story itself was based around my N-chp idea (I'm so proud!)
and I almost managed to steal the main part. Grix got it back with a fight with the Overlord in the Mega Drive game...
... I almost had it too :-)

That was a bloody good post!
The N-chip was introduced in the other one. It was actually my reasons for not being around (playing Zelda:Majora's Mask instead) and a reason why I'd be away again soon (WWF No Mercy arrived in the post).
Before I knew it I'd become Lando Calrissian (Han Solo's old buddy) and not really a major part of the story...
... so I came in a nicked one of the main parts of this one!

This one carried straight on from the first one... so it's better if you read the first one before.
I'll go find it now.
I'll go find it now.
So, the story is over...
But there's one last loose end I need to tie up, a sort of epilogue...
In his Swordspines office, Dan_uk pressed the button to let one reporter in, one who'd pieced together the whole story but didn't know what had happened once Dan_uk and Dan2K1 went to the old Microsoft building to cut Bill Gates off.
With a "small" bribe, Dan_uk filled it in...
"By the time we arrived, the rest had already trapped Bill inside the Streetfighter cartridge. I have to admit, I didn't think that they were capable of that sort of thinking. We cut the line anyway incase a backup of Bill's memory was reloaded."
"Is that all Mr Dan?"
"Yep"
The reporter handed over a second lot of cash.
"Well we did go into the building anyway...
All the traps had been shut down and we quickly got to Bill. At that point we got a call from Ant, telling us they had trapped him inside the Streetfighter 2 game and it was all over.
"Shouldn't we kill him anyway, incase he comes back?" Dan2K1 suggested.
"And ruin Grix's chance of writing a sequel and reviving himself?"
Dan_uk shook his head.
"Do it if you want but I'm warning you, you'll probably get Snipers part in the next story."
With this, we left the building and parted our separate ways."
The reporter asked one last question.
"Swordspines hasn't been so successful over the last 2 months since you've taken over."
"Well seeing as it was just me and Grix in the first place, it's a bit hard being a one man company. I'll probably give it up in a month."
"And then what will you do for a living?"
Dan_uk tapped his nose.
"I've been offered a job but no amount of money will reveal it!"
The reporter revealed a cheque.
"Alright then" Dan_uk lowered his voice into a whisper
"the job is at..."

I have to say that the one I wrote I was quite proud of it!
