Guardians will

This is an old story that I was working on and I deiced to post it here to see where it will go. I hope you enjoy. (I also didn't completely check grammar or such, so please excuse the mistakes.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello? Is anyone there? There is a sound of a whoosh. A bright light appears. It looks like an orb. It is floating around like it's finding something. Hello? I know you are here. Hello?! The sound echoes around the unseen walls. It is pitch black other than the light illuminating from the orb. A robotic man walks up to the orb. Who are you? I am here to tell you that you are a survivor. What do you mean?I mean there was a war, and you died but you are about to start your new story.Why. Why me?Because you have light in you. Come, guardian, us Destiny's. We need your help. Now when you get up, I will be there. Ok. But-Wake up...In a vast wasteland of robotic men on the ground, one robot starts rising from a pile. He is metallic and has blue holographic eyes, and is wearing a hooded cloak. He is dusty from laying in a pile. A little whirring sound becomes louder. A grey orb is floating by the man. The orb speaks to the man, "Hello. You must be the guardian. I am a Destiny. What is your name?" The man talks back, stunted, "H-hi? I am Samuel. You are the Destiny that came to me while I was... Dead?" Destiny "Yes, I am. Follow, you are not safe here there, are MIMs that room around." Samuel gives the Destiny a questionable look " Uh... What is MIM?" The Destiny explains, "MIMs are short for Manual incinerating machines." Samuel is taken aback " That does not sound pleasant." While the Destiny moves forward, "It is not. Hurry, we do need to get out of here." Samuel stretches and follows the Destiny. Samuel jokes, "You got any grease? "The Destiny doesn't laugh " No." He steps over the other robots, but he trips. The Destiny stops and turns to Samuel, "Are you ok?" Samuel gets up " Ya. I think so. What did I trip on?" Destiny looks around for a second "A revolver. Pick it up and check for ammo. It would be useful in case we run into any MIMs." Samuel retrieves the gun and puts it in his holster, and then continues following the Destiny. Samuel asks, "So why am I so important?" Destiny responds, "Well, you have a power inside of you that can help us." Samuel says, "Do you have a mouse with you?" "No, us Destiny need you." "For what?" The Destiny stammers, "A... A- "They hear a machine walking toward them, crushing the robots underneath the feet. Samuel "Is that-" The Destiny yells, "Hide!" Samuel and Destiny hide beneath a pile of robots. It smells like oil and burnt metal. "That... is a MIM." They see a giant robot with a machine gun on one arm and a flamethrower on the other. It is getting closer to Destiny and Samuel. Samuel whispers, "How do you kill that thing!?" The Destiny whispers back, "Um... I know there is a gasoline pump that you can set on fire and destroy the MIM." Samuel studies the MIM. He sees the giant gasoline tank on the MIM's back. Samuel pulls out his revolver and aims for the tank. The Destiny whispers loudly, "What are you doing?" Samuel pulls the trigger, and the bullet shoots right through the tank, letting gasoline leak. The MIM heard the shot and turned toward Samuel, and starts shooting bullets at Samuel. Samuel jumps up and runs toward the MIM, making the MIM target him. Samuel keeps dodging and, the MIM is missing each shot, so the MIM fires its flamethrower. Samuel jumps behind another pile of robots, then the MIM set is on fire and explodes. The Destiny flies over to Samuel. "Ah...I see what you did. Smart, but we need to run." They both hear more MIMs walking toward them. Samuel says, "Now sounds like a good idea." Samuel takes off, and more bullets fly by him. Samuel gets hit in the arm, but he did not stop and keeps running. The Destiny shouts, "Hey! I think I see a spaceship up ahead! Let us hope it still works." They see a silver spaceship sitting near them. The spaceship is also rusted and dusty. More bullets continue flying toward them. The Destiny flies over to the spaceship and is trying to start it. "This might take a minute!" "I don't think we have a minute!" Bullets hit the ground. So, Samuel pulls out his gun and starts firing. The MIMs are not showing any hesitation to kill them. Destiny finally starts the ship, and the spaceship starts whirring. "Get in, Samuel!" Samuel jumps into the spaceship and, Destiny commands the ship to fly them out of there. Samuel takes a long breath. Samuel snaps, "I could have been killed!" "Good thing you were not." Samuel sits back " Anyways, where are you taking me?" The Destiny says, "I am taking you to our base. It is a farm, but we also made it our base." Samuel falls asleep. A few hours later, The Destiny wakes Samuel up. The Destiny shouts, "Wake up! We are here!" Samuel yawns, "Finally." They get out of the spaceship. A woman walks up to them. She is human, with blond hair, and is wearing a cloak. She also has a Destiny. Alex talks, "Hello. You must be the guardian." Samuel responds, "Yes, I am. My name is Samuel. What is yours?" "I am Alex. I am not a guardian, but I train the guardians." "Samuel is confused " Wait. There is more like me?" Alex explains, "Yes, but each one of you has power. Your Destiny has already told me what you have done to a MIM. I say that was impressive. I can already tell that you are a hunter. Stealth, melee, smart, and focused. Those are the traits of a hunter. I will not be teaching you how to be a hunter. Someone else will." Samuel thinks about it " Hm... I'm a hunter. Then who will teach me?" Alex says, "His name is Victor-6. He is the best hunter we have." Another girl walks up. She is also a human, with medium brown hair. She looks about 16 years old. That shocks Samuel " Whoa. What is a girl doing here?" Sammy smiles " I'm like you. I am a guardian." Alex nods " She is truly a special kid. She is a witch." Sammy puts out her hand " Hello. I'm Sammy. Nice to meet you." Samuel shakes her hand " I'm Samuel. Where is your Destiny?" Sammy looks down. Alex sighs " Sammy... She doesn't have a Destiny. She only met the traveler who gave her light. Sammy?" Sammy looks up, her face a little red "Yes?" "Please go set up a room for your long-lost brother." Sammy looks a little happier " Yes, ma'am." Sammy runs off. Samuel says, "Long lost brother?" Alex shrugs " We only say that because you also have light. We keep her away from most fights because she is, unprotected without a Destiny." Samuel looks at Alex, confused " What fights? What is going on with which you need my help?" Alex looks at Destiny " Have you told him Destiny?" Samuel forgot at the Destiny. The Destiny says, "No. I was going to but... MIMs."Samuel: What is happening?Alex: There is a war going on. Which, the Hive is trying to destroy the light from the traveler. Samuel: So how do we stop them?Alex: We must go to war with them. We must defeat them. With the light from guardians, we can destroy them, hopefully.Samuel: I see. Ok, you can take me to Victor-6 now.Alex: I'm sure you're tired. After your run-in with the MIM robots, you should get some rest.Samuel: But-Alex: Samuel... Listen... Victor-6 needs to get ready before you can just... Go in there.Sammy walks up to Samuel. Sammy: Brother, your room is ready.Samuel: Thanks. Can I see my room?Sammy: Yes. Follow brother.Samuel follows Sammy. The place is a farm with chickens and some houses. When Sammy arrived at the door, she put her hand on a pad, and the pad was light green. It is a hand sensor.Sammy: Soon, we will enter your data into the pad.Samuel nods.Sammy: Have you given your Destiny a name?Samuel: No. I thought it was just Destiny.Destiny: I meant to ask you for a name. Can you think of one?Samuel: Hm. How about Sundance?Sundance: I like that name. Good one!Samuel: So now your name is Sundance. Ok. Fun.Samuel continues walking toward his room following, Sammy. Sammy opens a door. In the room, there is a bed with a sheet, blanket, and pillow. A small desk, a lamp, a coffee table, and a dresser.Sammy: Here is your room. You can decorate it, but you're going to need things to decorate it. Have a good night, brother.Samuel: Uh. Good night Sammy.Sammy exits the room, and Samuel lays down on the bed, and waits. About 4 hours later, Alex comes into his room.Alex: Victor-6 would like to see you, Samuel.Samuel: Finally. Come on, Sundance. They exit the room into the hall and head to another room two floors above. They open the door.Victor-6: Ah... If it isn't Samuel. I heard you were able to take on not one, but multiple MIAs. I congratulate you. That is a rare task that a new coming Guardian can do.Samuel: Thanks. Anyways, you are my... Trainer?Victor-6: Yes. Now you may leave Alex. Alex: Yes. Have fun, Samuel. Samuel: Bye...Alex leaves the room and shuts the door.Victor-6: So, for our first training session, I think it will be important to tell you who, what, where, how, and why the Hunters are who they are. So, let's start with, who. You. Me. Others. We are all Hunters. We smell the fear in our victims. We can sense danger. We can find the possible in the impossible. Does that make sense Samuel?Samuel: Um... Kinda.Victor-6: Good. Ok, now, Hunters are a diverse skill. Hunting, hence, the name, is what they do. They kill for a living sometimes. Hunters have great dexterity, and intelligence as well as charisma. Hunters love to use mainly bows, revolvers, snipers, smoke bombs, knives, and sometimes submachine guns. I noticed that you already have a gun. We don't have much equipment here yet. Just some armor, and ammo. Anyways, I think that is all for today. Samuel: Wait, what?! That's all? I don't even have to train with guns or something.Victor-6: Yes. You will be working a practicing with weapons and training with our maze we have. Then, I will want to know how fast you can get through our dexterity maze tomorrow. I think you might like to start now. Goodbye Samuel. I'll see you tomorrow.Samuel Is just dumbfounded. He then recovers and leaves the room. Sammy was waiting for him. Sammy: I figured you might want someone to show you to the maze. Come along.Samuel follows Sammy outside, and she shows him tall, thick greenery. It's cut precisely and has a beautiful green to it.Sammy: This maze will have traps, stun bombs, gaps, rats, and a terrorist shooting part. There will be a gun there for you. Have fun.She pats him on the back and walks back to her room. Samuel walks into the maze. Another human is waiting there, and he gets up to greet him.Azmeth: Ah... You must be the new guardian, Samuel. Nice to meet you.Azmeth put's out his large African American hand. He is built large, and he is at least 6 feet. He has muscled the size of Samuel's head. Also, his left arm is robotic, and his Destiny has a green stripe and white. Samuel shakes his hand and can tell that Azmeth is trying not to crush his hand even though it is bending a little.Samuel: Hello. This is the dexterity maze, right?Azmeth: Yes. It is. Do you want to try it?Samuel: Yup.Azmeth: Go on ahead. I'll be waiting on you on the other side.Samuel walks to the large arc of greenery. There are vines in some places handing down.Azmeth: Oh Ya, I almost forgot. Don't try to climb the greenery. They have thorns on them. Acid thorns are just for people like you. Don't worry it's nothing we can't fix but... Just be careful.Samuel: Ok.As Azmeth said, all the greenery has thorns on them. Samuel starts to walk under the arc when Azmeth stops him.Azmeth: Ok. I'm going to time you. Get ready, set-Samuel gets into a running stance. Azmeth hits the start on the timer at the same time: Go!Samuel jets under the arc. There are three paths that he can see. Right, left, and straight ahead. He turns onto the right path. He notices the greenery flashing by him as he runs. Up ahead, he sees a large gap. He stops, wondering what to do. He notes that he is about 5 feet from the ground, and he is 2 feet above the ground. He walks backward, then running toward the dugout hole Samuel jumps over it. He hits and rolls on the dirt. Filled with relief, he runs on. The path splits up again. He judges that he should go to the left. He turns left and hits a string. A smoke bomb blows up, and he gets disorientated. He thinks he is going straight but hits the greenery. A needle pokes him, and part of his metal melts. He hears the hiss from it melting. Sundance showers him with a blue beam.Samuel: What are you doing?Sundance: I'm repairing your metal.Samuel: You can do that?Sundance: Yup.He walks the other way and then finally goes straight. He almost runs into the needles again; he had reached his first dead end. He turned around but found out that the path wasn't there. He sees there is a different path, so he takes that one. He sees a revolver. Samuel thinks to himself that this must be the end of the maze. The targets then pop up, and he fires at each one with perfect shots. He continues and finds the end of the maze. Azmeth is there waiting for him.Azmeth: You're lucky. The maze decided to give you mercy. You just completed the Level one maze in 15 minutes.Samuel: Really? That was just level one?Azmeth: Yup. Anyways, there is a training center for you. It has everything from building strength. And to make you faster.Samuel: Ok. Thanks.Samuel walks away. He sees a town-like area that must be the training center. A man, that is Bright, walks up. He has yellow skin and is wearing a brown coat with combat pants. Zexa: Hello there! You must be the newest guardian. I am Zexa. A Bright.Samuel: Hello, and yes. I am Samuel. What is Bright's?Zexa: It's long, but long story short, they are human beings who have been touched by holy-like sources, aka gods or angels.Samuel: Ok then.
