Jacq and Karl
My Strange System/Leo Tee
"... Do you even know how to skate? You just sit down here---""Shut the hell up, Karl!" Jacq grunted back mindlessly. His whole being was concentrated on the wide screen television. If you didn't look well, you won't know he has a game pad in hand.Tap, tap, tap... Jacq pressed the game pad furiously while he stared without blinking at the screen. He has a look of terror and anger on his face, yet he looked happy.He's at the last stage of the game and he is not ready to let his concentration falter because of his friend, Karl."You see, your life sucks. You just hide in here, living and basking in your fantasies. These doesn't matter when---""Fuck!! Damn you, Karl!"Jacq lost the game... He rose on his feet, cursing."... Damn you, I repeat. I invite you to my house and you know nothing than to fuck my shit up. Can't you just wait a minute? I was at the last level. I was about to kill the boss. I was...""I didn't realize that, I'm sorry." Karl threw a sunken face full of mocking r

Out of the Blue
My Strange System/Leo Tee
Life at Briggton High school, Brighton is as it is in the movies. The usual peace and quiet during classes and the uproar that follows during break...The usual upper and lower class system. Funny how you get to know your peers by checking your pocket and comparing it with others'.The usual roof top bullying, and the pitiful cries of the weak.The usual girls' gossips and giggles, and the usual circle of the 'big boys' during lunch. The unmistakeable booming voice of the headmaster down the hall, rebuking wayward students and shouting "detention, boy, detection!"All of what you will ever find in a high school movie comes to life at Briggton High, maybe more.And of course, the usual sports and games. These peaks the excitement of more than half the guys in this school. You can never run out of half giants in big basketball jerseys and bigger shorts, pulling up in gangs, always go on about how shitty the other plays.There's also the volleyball team, the handball team, and the famous

It can only be Jacq
My Strange System/Leo Tee
It was a Sunday morning. Jacq woke up and yawned big before jumping out of his bed to clean up. He did a little round of push ups and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth.He finished brushing his teeth after about three minutes then made back for his room.His phone rang.Mom?He guessed just right. That is no hard guessing though. He hardly gets any call from anyone except from Karl, and Karl had no reason to call him so early on a Sunday morning.He picked up the phone."Mom?""No. I'm not your mom." The voice came from the other end.Shocked, Jacq looked at his phone again to check if he was mistaken. It's still mom.He laughed to himself."What have I done this time, momma?""Don't 'momma' me. You know what you do." Her English wasn't that fluent.Jacq laughed out."It is, 'you know what you did', Mrs Albert. Correct yourself." He teased."I did not bring you to Boston to correct my English, young boy.""Aha. Your bad, ma'am. You brought me to Boston and left me in Boston." He

The Blue before the Blur
My Strange System/Leo Tee

Somewhere
My Strange System/Leo Tee
With a sudden jerk, he woke up in a sleek chamber that reeks of technologies that could have been from the future. The walls glinted with the reflective sheen of advanced technology. He made to rise from where he slept, but unfortunately, his wrists were locked in place with iron manacles to the metallic part of the bed.He laid on his back and turned his neck to his right to survey his surroundings properly. The chamber was a cold, sterile environment, with harsh fluorescent lighting casting a sickly glow across the sleek metallic floor. The walls were covered with screens and dials, their glowing displays reflecting in the dark, polished floor.At the center of the room stood a futuristic-looking chair – which he guessed is the same as the one he was chained to – surrounded by a web of wires and cables that snaked across the floor and up the walls. The chair itself was made of a glossy black material, with a series of restraints positioned to secure the occupants.Jacq's eyes adju

The Blue Corp
My Strange System/Leo Tee
The Blue Corp, the foundation formed by two technologists, Professor Lambert and his partner Professor Jerkins. It was funded by the US government, aimed at being used as a backup for the military in case of serious and advanced threats like, in civil wars or intergalactic battles.The idea of this corporation was brought about by the genius scientist, Professor Lambert who created a high pulsing energy orb, that can be used to mutate humans and turning them into super soldiers with superhuman strength and reflexes.This scientist shared his findings with his partner, Jerkins and together, they finalized the creation of one of the greatest invention of all time – a superhero maker.With connections from his partner, Jerkins, they got an agreement with the government and experiments were carried out, firstly in animals. And after ensuring success in animals, they moved to humans.The process involves chaining the human to an inclined metal chair, then connecting a series of machines to

Too Blue to be true
My Strange System/Leo Tee
They appeared in a different dimension entirely.First of all, Jacq had no idea where the lair from earlier was located. But this current lair they appeared is sure from a different dimension.Just like how pink made up the Barbie land, the whole world here is made of blue. To much blue, it hurts the eyes.Though he couldn't see anywhere outside the lair, he was very sure this place is not Earth.Nothing like this could exist on Earth without being noticed by anyone, Jacq thought. Since Professor Jerkins has been confirmed dead during the Green war, he couldn't have made a lair with the best technology ever on Earth without raising suspicion.Jacq moved steadily behind Cassie as they branched by a corner. The hall went a long way ahead.Jacq noticed the different happenings in this mini universe. He could see robots and men going about one activity or the other. Men controlling the bots, and in some area, robots controlling low ranking men. Crazy.The workers all wore blue lab coats

I have an idea
My Strange System/Leo Tee
...They made their way out into the long corridors from earlier, running and panting at the same time.Cassie being a superhuman ran at a faster pace while Jacq tagged along behind her, slowing them down.They needed to reach the spot where the portal transported them to when they arrived. The portal can only be activated at that spot, but it's still a long way before they will get there. Not with Jacq's slow human pace.Yes, they had blinded her father so he wouldn't know where they went. But, it is only a matter of time before the soldiers begin the chase. They are probably on the chase now.Cassie clicked a button on her wrist as she ran. A hologram popped out showing the building plan of the lair and the best possible route to take to reach the portal on time. Cassie spotted a shortcut a minutes run to her left."Hurry up, Jacq! The next turning by the left! Be quick," she shouted while running without gasping much for breath.Jacq managed to quicken his pace a little at the expe

A tragic plan
My Strange System/Leo Tee
"... I mean, can't we just disconnect it and shut down this stupid lair," Jacq paced back and forth as he said that.Cassie disagreed..."No, we can't. We should not. The lair will crumble to dust if we so much as touch it. And we can't remove it. The orb has a mind of its own, have you noticed?" She paced restlessly too."But you said you know what to do... Forgotten?" Jacq fired at her.Cassie sat down for a while, trying to gather her wits together. She knew what to do. She has the plan all ready in her head. But..."It could be dangerous," she said softly to Jacq. "It could be dangerous," she repeated.Her first plan was to run up the wall with her superhuman speed and strength, and disconnect the orb like Jacq said. But, the whole lair would shut down and it could mean the death of everyone inside. The two of them included.Her second plan was to channel the energy from the orb to a maximum level, in the direction of the door to eliminate the incoming soldiers.That could prove d

Welcome, Goodbye... Welcome
My Strange System/Leo Tee
The cold chamber was a speaker producing different array of sounds. The whirring noise never stopped, the beeping sound of active machines, the thrumming sound coming from above, and the ragged breathing coming from Commander Cassie.She wasn't going to give up saving this boy she had pronounced calamity upon. Her guilt won't allow her. She doesn't want to admit she has caused his death. She doesn't want to admit that he's not going to wake up from this deep slumber.Jacq was laid face up on a bed with series of wires and tubes attached to his body. His face was completely covered by a transparent mask to help with breathing just in case.His bare chest was loaded with taped wires and multiple syringes piercing the skin into the heart. The wires all connected to another machine operating electrically as it makes the non stopping whirring noise.The laboratory which the little battle for survival took place has been prepared and transformed into a mini hospital in an effort to revive J
