tin man chapter 1
#3 of the Tin Man
i took off running though the woods trying to put distance between me and the village, i could hear o voice bellow out,"everyone fan out find the dame creautre". as i ran though the woods at a break neck pace i could hear some one following close behind me. these fuckers were FAST!!! i could barely stay a head of them. soon i felt a stitch from in my side.
i knew i couldn't keep up with running much longer. i soon found my self leaning against a tree wheezing, i could hear people following. i had a few moments left before they got to close for comfort, as i got ready to run again i had the biggest "duh" moment ever i scowled at my self before activating the cloaking device in my field suit. soon i got into a comfortable spot in the tree.
a few second later i saw what looked liked FUCKING RHINO run by with some medieval armour running on two legs.
" huh, cal me batshit crazy and throw away the key"
as i soon as it left my sight i realized that there was a group of animals a little ways under my tree. strangely enough i could here them talking .as i sat there the shortest one bout knee high to me acted like the leader
the midget spoke " listen we know your there just come out already don't make this any harder then it already is"
my only replay was " if you grow a foot or three"
i got s snort out of the bear. which in short was not a good idea on his part when the short one kicked him into a tree,i was surprised at this show of strength, but because I'm bit of a ass i yelled out" okay" when a smirk appeared on his face i add " maybe just a foot then ill come out" i could barely stop form laughing out load.
i felt my blood chill when right by me i heard a voice call out, " master there's no one here".
my head turned so fast i could hear my neck bones pop, and by the look on her face so did she. when out a second to lose i charged up my gloves and zapped her out of the tree into the middle of the group as the started toward her i threw a flash bang exploding at the tiger's chest hight effectively blinding the group as i rushed off i made sure that the path i took was covered up.
it's been a few hours and I've not seen nor heard hid or hair of someone following me. even with the suit active i still set false trails and dead ends. as i walked through the forest thinking of where i was i heard the sound o running water realizing that i was thirsty i set off to find it.
after a little while of searching i came upon a fast flowing stream as i bent down to drink i realized that there were other animals there as well lucky for me they were just the "feral?'' ones . huh at least i found some sort of reality in this world.
the sun was hitting the horizon as i sat in my new home that I'd found the cave was about 100 foot deep was as wet as i first thought it to be but i ant complaining. it took me bout an hour to clean out what the last owner had left in the cave now there was just a stack of bones sitting out side my home.
lucky for me it was only five minutes away from a good source of water and bout thirty from a perfect hunting spot. I'd already set up the interior with some of the survival supplies that i took from my escape pod.
as i headed back into my ''lovely'' new home i set the motion sensors and the traps i set up first 20 feet non lethal next 50 and you will die most have nero toxins and rest were set to put a hole in the intruders.
when i got to the last part of the defence i wonder if it could stop the locals seeing as they weren't normal animals I'd hope the first part would keep them out.
As i looked around the room i thanked the gods that i had gotten the new tech before i left. it might of coast me quite the bundle but if was worth it. as i set on the newly made bed i could see that the table was almost finished soon i would start the nanotes on a desk and maybe some more stuff to make it fell more at home.
luckily the c-corps just released the new nanotes which allowed for someone to make most items the need with the natural materials around in the environment for me it was the iron ore vein they found in the cave. as i set on the bed the middle sank down bout a half foot making it a bit like a hammock. after i zipped up my sleeping bag i bundle up my shirts and soon found my self drifting off to sleep the last thought that went though my head was " what the hell went wrong with the data!?" ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
with a jolt dean woke with a curse upon his lips'' glad i don't remember the dreams.'' he spoke with a shudder thinking off the nightmares he has every night but cant ever recall.
as he look around his new house he smiles at the new how that he made he had a satisfied smirk glued to his face it's been three mouths since he crashed here people are afraid to come within miles of this place. and the locals have started calling him the metal god.
''only if they knew'' he thought with a quick glance to his "god" suit. he looked at his other suits the one on the left was the first he wore when he first emerged on the plant. it was a sliver like color, it reminded him of a an old jump suit. the boots were more of a darker color with a flexible metal. the gloves were the same color as the boots but just had a metal plate above each knuckle. the hood was more or less a ski mask.
the gloves allowed me to use them just like an old fashioned taser the voltage was adjustable to stun or i cloud kill some one if it was on full charge. the boots allow the voltage that travelled though me to dissipate harmlessly into the ground, it allow he to turn invisible for about six hours a day before it need to recharge lucky he bought the nebulas it was a portal fusion generator it'll never run out of energy. i mainly used this one to travel into the villages to "gather' food supplies and books.
the middle one was mainly a combat suit used for ground deploy meant nothing could pierce it, hell I've been struck by a tank bullet broke my right leg, four ribs, broke collar bone, but hey I'm still alive because of it. only why to really kill someone wear it a big enough explosion or to crush them. it might be bullet it proof but the person inside still I've hadn't had a reason to use it yet.
as i headed out side i grab some apples for a light snack as i made my why thought the only safe pass though the traps i lean against the opening to my home. it looked like some kind of creature lived here.
i looked around the across the ground staring at the bones the were scattered around. I've been planing to return to my pod to see what i could scavenge from the wreck to feed my nanotes, i cant use them anymore as the bugs don't have the right materials around here to create more of themselves.
after an hour of basking in the mooring sun i headed back into the cave to change into the stealth suit. soon i was on my way toward the valley of peace. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
it's been week since I've gotten to the valley it was a around midnight when i arrived. the pod was still were i left it the only difference was that the rubble around it was moved nobody was building around it. after making sure the coast was clear i started across the ground soon arriving to the hatch silently making my way inside. i could instantly tell that it was already scavenge as most of the moveable items were gone.
after a quick scan of what was left, i found that none of it was useable. as i sat thinking of where it could of possible taken to i show what appeared to be torches high up on the mountain figuring that this was the jade palace home of the warriors i ran into. i activated my suit heading up the stairs.
half way up i could hear a small person coming toward me standing as close as to the wall as possible i waited of the person to pass. as the figure became viable it turned out to be a small duck with a noodle bowl on top of his head.
as he passed me i could hear him mumble" why doesn't he visit the noodle shop more often he hardly tells me when he leaves to go on a mission now." ii almost felt bad for the little guy.
five-teen minutes later i finely made it to the gate. these people must really love their stairs. as i made my way though the palace i came upon a long hall with items hung up with care as i made my way though the building i came upon a pool with a dragon statue above it. when i look closely at it i could almost feel as if it was looking at my soul judging me.
after high tailing it out of there i look though more of the building most were just empty or used for storage. soon a arrived to the kitchen after grabbing me some jerky and other items to chew on i found some cookies by the back behind the veggies.
soon making my way out i searched though more of the buildings finding nothing i made my way up to one of the higher buildings i could finely see how big the palace was not to mention the rooms that could be carved in to the mountain making it bigger then what i could actually see.
soon i had me a mini camp going on just a sleeping bag and a padding so I'm not sleeping on the cold,hard floor. after setting some motion sensors i settled down for the night enjoying the food, lucky for me the cookies were almond. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
