Stuck In The Box: The Dawning Of Life

Chapter 5: Bound To Return

"Why is there a crowd?" Nena asked. There was a crowd of Halargians there to congratulate the Wild Boys for passing the training course. "You guys impressed us and they wanted to congratulate you on getting the agent badges. Also, because even though you are hybrids, you are proven to be powerful," Khanok said. "And it's a ceremony too," Henry said. "Look, Lt Gura is on the pedestal," Khanok said. Lt Gura is a female blue-eyed Halargian and is second in command. "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and of course, Miyagi, today we're going to be giving the badges to our first ever batch of Earthling-Halargian hybrid agents. First one, Curt Smith," Lt Gura said. Curt went on stage first to receive his badge. It was small and blue like it was made out of aquamarine.

It is shaped as a triangle and it has his name engraved on it. He placed it on the side of his shirt when Lt Gura stopped him. "It goes on the side of your shoe," Lt Gura said. "Oh, right," Curt said, putting it on the side of his right shoe. "But why though?" "I'll tell you and your friends after this, just stay behind me," Lt Gura said. Curt stood behind Lt Gura as she called out his friends. "Roland Orzabal de la Quintana." Roland then came up on stage to retrieve his badge. "It goes on your shoe," Curt said. "Oh, right," Roland said. Roland placed the badge on his shoe and stood next to Curt. "George Michael," Lt Gura said. George retrieved his badge, put it on the side of his left shoe because he is left handed and stood next to Roland and Curt. "Andrew John Ridgeley," Lt Gura said. Andrew (Ridgeley) then retrieved his badge and put it on his right shoe.

"Andrew John Fletcher, seriously why do you have the same as the other guy?" Lt Gura asked. Fletch then went up to her to retrieve his badge. "It's just a mere coincidence," Fletch said after placing the badge on his shoe. "Alan Charles Wilder," Lt Gura said. Alan went up to her to retrieve his badge.

Roger went up to Lt Gura to retrieve his badge. "Not really, our surnames are a coincidence," Roger said, placing his badge on his shoe. "Andrew Arthur Taylor, you're related to Nigel and Roger?" Lt Gura asked. Andy then stumbled while trying to go on stage. "Ugh, stupid dyspraxia, to answer your question, we're not related at all," Andy said, standing up and retrieving his badge. "Also my name is John, not Nigel," John said. "Right, Christopher Hamill," Lt Gura said. Chris then went up to her to retrieve his badge. "Nicholas Beggs, same as the other one?" Lt Gura asked. "Yeah, but you can call him Nicky while you call me Nick," Nick said, going up to Lt Gura to retrieve his badge before putting it on his shoe. "Okay, Stuart Croxford Neale," Lt Gura said.

"Marc, I'll go with you," Paul said, going up to Marc to hold his hand.

Marc and Paul's hands were held together as Marc received his badge. "W-where do I p-put i-it?" Marc asked. "On the side of your shoe," Paul said. Marc then placed the badge on his shoe. "Antony Patrick Hadley," Lt Gura said. Tony went up to Lt Gura to retrieve his badge before putting it on his shoe. "Steven Antony Norman, seriously, another one with the same name?" Lt Gura asked. "Err yeah," Steve said, retrieving his badge. He then put it on his shoe. "John Leslie Keeble, seriously, another person named John?" Lt Gura asked.

"I dunno, but it's a good idea because I don't want to be confused with the Kemp one," Garry said, referring to Gary. He then retrieved his badge and put it on his shoe.

"Andrew Charles Farriss, seriously, another one?" Lt Gura asked. "Yeah, but at least the other two were given nicknames," Andrew (Farriss) said.

"Can we just call you Jonathan next time so that you won't be mistaken for the American one?" Tim asked.

"Err okay," Jon (Farriss) said. Jon (Bongiovi) then received the badge and placed it on his shoe. "Bryan Guy Adams," Lt Gura said. Bryan then received the badge and placed it on his shoe.

She then guided the Wild Boys towards the hallways connecting to the main headquarters. "So what are these badges for?" Terry asked. "They're meant to be buttons for you to switch between your normal clothes and your Halargian clothes," Lt Gura said. "Really?" Kate asked. "Yeah, but I recommend doing it while on Earth, I don't think it's safe for you to be back into your Earthling clothes while on Halarge," Lt Gura said. "Right, got it," Keren said. "Well, it seems like we're superheroes now," Morten said.

"You are, anyways Lord Henry is waiting for you in the spacecraft bay, you're going back to Earth," Lt Gura said. The Wild Boys followed Lt Gura to the spacecraft bay where Lord Henry was waiting. "Hello again Wild Boys," Henry said. "So, we're going home now?" Curt asked. "Yup, let's go," Henry said.
