Note: If format comes out freeaky, it's my iPod's fault.
This is a continuation of Trash VAGs.
Chapter 1: Sleeping Down (derp)
"So, the preparations are ready?"
"Yeah. Don't you just love how mysterious we are?"
"What do you mean?"
"We're just talking with quotation marks, and no names at all! I mean, we could be anyone! Maybe the mods, or maybe alien sentinents from a distant planet! I bet our readers are crazy with anticipation as to who we are!!"
"Or they may not care at all."
"....I want a new partner."
------------------------------------------------------
Brandobrawl woke with a start. He groaned as he rubbed the frying pan-sized bruise on the back of his head. "Damn you Runouw. I thought you were just joking." He tried to get up, but he found that his movement was extremely restricted, as if he were in a very small, tight space. Looking around, it seemed like he was in an egg-shaped dome of some sort.
He listened quietly for a moment. A door opened and closed. The silouhette of a person walked over to his dome.
"I see you're awake," a familiar voice said in a light and happy tone.
"Suyo? What the heck's going on here? Where am I?"
"All in due time. You should go back to sleep now." He walked over to a computer, and from the clicking sounds, brandobrawl could tell he was typing something.
And then, a square compartment opened right above brandobrawl's head. Inside it, a frying pan. "...you can't be seri-"
WHAM.
------------------------------------------------------------
The VAGs building was a magnificent building. 5000 feet long and wide, and 4000 feet tall, the building dominated Runouw city. Of course, it also used over a bajillion volts of electricity, and two forests full of wildlife had been cut down to make way for it, not to mention the pollution.... Still, it was an amazing piece of work. People who walked by would look at it in jealousy, but they didn’t know what was happening inside…
Inside was a vast empty room. Suddenly rocks started to form, as if it were being drawn by a computer. Cliffs, grass, animals, hot dog stands, real estate agents, and porta-potties were being drawn by lines that moved by themselves. Soon, the room was a large grassy plain with a shining sun moving slowly above it. Full of hot dog stands and porta-potties.
Another figure was drawn at the bottom of a small crevice. He wore a thick green bullet proof vest with a camouflage shirt and pants. He stood there, eyes closed for a few minutes, unmoving. Finally he opened them and he looked around wildly.
"OMFG ONLY 50 CENTS FOR A HOT DOG?!? I mean...er, where am I?" Brandobrawl said to himself, as he looked at the vast plains that were in front of him.
"You are in the VAGs." A woman’s voice answered Brando’s question. Brando turned around as he heard the voice come from the left, but nothing was there.
"Show yourself!" He said and put up his fists in protection. Brando had been a triple black belt for 4 years now, but you never knew if there was a quadruple black belt around the corner.
"Calm yourself. I am inside you."
"......That's not something you say to someone when you want them to calm down. NOW GET AWAY FROM ME, RAPIST!"
"Will you shut up for one second? I am the Intelligence Providing System. The IPS for short. You are in the Plains of Tranquility right now, as are the other 15 players."
"Wait a minute, so you said that this place is the VAGs?"
"The Plains of Tranquility is an Arena. There are several different Arenas which you will be fighting in."
"Fighting?"
"All will make sense in time. Or actually, in your case, I'm not so sure. Even when I'm an Intelligence Providing System, you still seem to be lacking it."
"...say, what?"
"You dumb. I smart. I give you smart. You still dumb. Get it now, Einstein?"
"...that's not what I meant by 'say what'..." Brando muttered to himself and walked out of the crevice. He saw hills and about waist high grass, but no other people.
"Where’s everyone else?"
"The arena is expanding every day. You are not alone. Now activating the Ocular Guidance Earpiece." A small device was suddenly drawn onto Brando’s ear. It seemed to be attached to his ear and covered one eye with a clear lens.
"Hey, this looks like those scouter things from Dragonball Z!"
"Pardon, 'scouter'?" asked the IPS.
"VEGETA, WHAT DOES THE SCOUTER SAY ABOUT HIS POWER LEVEL?? IT'S OVER 9000!!! WHAT, 9000?!?!"
"*sigh*"
After a while, text appeared onto the lens.
TEAM: ENERGY KNIGHTS
GAME: TEAM DEATHMATCH
SETTING: PLAINS OF TRANQUILITY
OBJECTIVE: ELIMINATE THE OTHER TEAMS
"Teams? Energy Knights?" Brando looked at the words curiously as they disappeared from the OGE.
"You are part of a team called the Energy Knights, with three other people. They will be wearing the same outfits and using the same weapons as you. There are four teams in the VAGs." IPS spoke very plainly. Brando smiled as he listened.
"Weapons? Now you're talkin'." He smiled and then looked around again. The OGE seemed to be targeting something that was extremely far away, and was labeled, BUFFOONER. "Aha! I’m guessing Buffooner is part of the Energy Knights?"
"Correct. For once."
"I heard that."
"Although it may be dangerous to travel across the plains unarmed, as it sounds like you are planning to do. Every EK is equipped with a Sword and a Semi-Auto Rifle. To pull either out, one must simply have a palm open and concentrate on the weapon needed."
Brando rolled his eyes and looked skeptical. He was curious though, and decided to try it.
"By the power of Greysku-"
"Not like that."
"Fine." He stuck out his hand and thought of the rifle in his head. Light outlined around his arm, and a gun seemed to form in his hand. A brief flash, and suddenly Brando was holding a large rifle. Stunned, he looked at the gun for a moment, then he looked back at the plains. "IPS…" He said in an awed voice. "What is this?"
"How very in-character. That is called a gun. It's spelled G-U-N. The small end is for-" Brandobrawl smacked his ear piece.
"It's a semi-automatic rifle." Brando grinned in spite of himself.
"AWESOME!" He stuck out his hands once again, a concentrated look on his face.
"....thinking of a triple-cheeseburger with extra cheese isn't going to make it appear. It only works for weapons."
"Darn. But...how did it magically just appear in my hand?"
"Simple really. The VAGs is made completely in Virtual Reality."
"...you know, that's a really weak cliff-hanger ending."
"I'm not the author you know."
"Well, I am."
DUN DUN DUUUNNN
"No wait, that's not good either."
Just remember this, when you see her on the street.
I'm the cruelest girl you'll ever meet.
