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."

Meanwhile, Edgy was perterbed that everyone had run out of his factory instead of playing his little game.

"You TOLD ME it would work, Grix!" he shouted at the screen showing Grix's face.

"Listen to the statue, Edgy, and calm down. The boss has everything under control"

Edgy looked at the statue of the deer and as it sparkled everything seemed okay again.

Back at the crash scene....

Sniper reloaded his gun. "That was for the being fried by a ship taking off..." He *clicked* the gun back into place, "And this is for the guards stabbing me in the back..."

Fantasymeister crawled on the floor... "My arm!! He got my arm!"

"Right... lets go get him..."

Bullets zoomed past the heads of the heroes... and the heroes managed to cover the 5 metres distance to where Sniper lay in no time at all.

"Arrrgghhh!" Said Sniper. "I put the scope on the wrong way around!"

Sniper got up... and jumped into his hovercar and sped off into the distance.

"Look!" Exclaimed Dan_UK, "There's another car! Lets go!"

They all jumped in... and Fantasymeister got at the wheel.

"Are you alright to drive?"

"Just fine." Said Fantasymeister, grabbing his hurt arm and throwing it onto the wheel. "Now lets go get him."

They sped off into the distance... leaving the Tardis to wonder if it would get written back in...

-------


Fantasymeister caught up to 10 metres behind Sniper. Unfortunatly he had killed several slow moving people on the way.

"It couldn't have been helped..." Fantasymeister said. "They shouldn't have been on such a busy road."

"They were on the pavement!"

"Well they should have stayed indoors."

Sniper suddenly put his foot down on the brake, and came to an immediate stop... Fantasymeisters reactions weren't so good...

Ant slammed his hand into a button on the dashboard... the front of the car lifted higher...

Fantasymeisters car lifted over Snipers car, and span around in the air...

"Arghhhhhh!!" Cried pb... unfortuantly again, Dan_UK wanted the window open, and pb had just left through it.

He landed on the floor with a *click*. He looked straight on... to see Sniper coming straight at him with his foot to the floor...

pb lay flat on his back... and the harsh air from the hover engines pushed his head back agaisnt the floor. He looked straight up to see huge, and rather sharp and fast, spinning fans... Sniper passed over him, and pb ran for cover...

"pb's out on the street! No!" Ant climbed back into his seat from rolling around in the crash... "Get to him NOW!"

Fantasymeister sped towards pb... only to be rammed in the side by Sniper...

Fantasymeisters car span around and smacked into a wall.

Sniper revved his engine... and sped off for one final assault at pb... who managed to dive onto the hard concrete, ripping his skin open on his face... Snipers car flew over, pushing his face deeper into the ground...

"One more pass... goodbye pb!" Sniper put his floor to the ground...

pb turned over. What on Jupiter was digging into his side?

Sniper's car sped towards him.

He felt deep into his pocket... the hammer! The hammer from the factory that they never went to!

Sniper turned the power low... so he could fly lower over pb...

pb grabbed the hammer in his right hand. Sniper span his car, to avoid hitting the wall, and slided over pb...

pb threw the hammer into the fans... and rolled out of the way...

Snipers car tipped to one side, and started scrapeing across the tarmac... sparks flying everywhere...

pb ran and dived onto the grass verge on the side of the road...

Snipers car crashed into a pillar supporting the front of a building... and the whole thing toppled down onto the car...

Thankfully, Sniper can't really live up to his name well.

"What was that! Over there! Near that grassy verge!"

"Oh yes. Someones shooting at us." Dan_Uk pointed out.

"Arggghhhh!!"

Fantasymeister dropped to the floor...

Not quite... but still... not bad...

Anyway. Continuing from the last thing Ant said...

"...bed."

"Well that was very helpful. Thanks Ant."

"No problem!"

An hour passed.

After everybody had found themselves bored with the small congo line that Ant had started, they all sat down to think about what to do next... unfortunatly for them, Sniper was living up to his name. Sniper stared at the tiny figures in his scope... and took aim.

You're very stubborn. We'd let you write, but you're obviously too cool. Or is it because you're cr@p at English??
