Isola Di Lucertole

Chapter 11: Leon's Story?

"And that's my story" Leon says finishing his story and fixing his suit.  "Amazing" Edmund says looking at Sans.  "I'll fix him up" Leon says walking over and bandaging Sans's arm.  After about 3 hours Sans wakes up and looks over at Leon.  "What did you do to me?" Sans says looking at his arm.  "Well, you see.  I broke your arm" Leon says snickering.  "I'm gonna kill you" Sans says slowly standing up.  "SANS!  Don't go near him!  He's more than you think!" Edmund says sitting Sans down.  "He's just an old man, an old man who's aced an ancient fighting skill.  But his head isn't bullet proof!" Sans says trying to reach a pistol on the ground.  "JUST LISTEN!" Edmund says pushing Sans down.  "I'll listen, but it better be important" Sans says sitting down.  "Where should I begin?" Leon says standing from his seat.  "I am not exactly, well, human.  I am L30N N00U.  I am the first human being with a computer in my brain, or uh.  Imagine every scientific movie.  I was born and raised in Italy my parents had nothing, we lived under a bridge for Christ sake.  One day on my way back from pick pocketing, a man in a lab coat grabbed me and asked if I wanted to make some money, and by the dirt on my face to the potato sacks on my feet I said: Yes"

"I can watch a fighting movie, say Karate Kid,  I can watch it, learn it, and fight exactly like the film" He says cracking his fingers.  "My nervous system is broken down so I cannot feel pain, my bones have metal plating, my immune system is almost perfect and my muscles are way stronger than a dinosaur.  I can control my brain power from 5% to 10000% of strength, agility, brainpower and charisma" He says laughing.  "Also magnetic control of the area around me" Leon says raising a spoon beside Edmund and Sans.  "I'm a monster" He says quickly bending the spoon into a sharp point and throwing it in a wall.  "If it has metal, I can lift it! Including myself!" He says has he slowly starts to raise himself off the ground.  "Are you man or machine?!" Sans says drinking from his flask.  "Both" Edmund says in amazement.  "Sans I want you to shoot me" Leon says deciding into his chair.  "WHAT?!" Edmund says spitting his tea.  "Alright!" Sans says picking up a pistol and firing it at Leon's head.  "What the-" Sans says looking at a bullet levitating between Leon's eyes.  The power cuts out and a pair of purple eyes appear out of the darkness.  "I can change eye color" Leon's eyes start cycling through colors and the power turns back on.  "You think that the dinosaurs where The Project? no, no, no.  I am the project" Leon says finishing is tea.

As Leon went on about his childhood as a government test subject and the death of his parents.  "I think we all need some rest" Edmund says readying his sleeping bag.  "Agreed, lets all rest" Leon says putting his sleeping bag up as well.  Sans did not sleep, he was too busy drinking and fearing that Leon could break and ruin or end his life.  Sans is only a field scientist, he knows if he challenges Leon again, Leon will not show mercy.  After Sans fell asleep, it was quiet for the night.  In the morning Leon was up making tea.  "RISE AND SHINE!" Leon says lifting up a pat and hitting it with a wooden spoon.  "What on earth are you doing?!" Sans says throwing his pillow at Leon.  "I think he's trying to wake us up" Edmund says with heavy sarcasm.  "I'm pretty sure he can kill is with his brain, so I think we should get up" Sans says raising from his sleeping bag.  After a day of apologies, tea, cakes, puns, jokes, dinosaurs and more tea, the group plan on going to the center of the island.

"Hey, where are the raptors and Dill?" Sans says drinking from his flask.  "Ah, yes.  I sent them off to scout ahead about 3 days ago." Leon says drinking from his canteen.  "The heat, the heeeeeat is tooooo muchhh" Edmund says crawling behind the group.  "Man up" Leon and Sans says simultaneously.  After the sky turns orange and the clouds flatten, the group lay their heads under a tall tree and watch the sun disappear behind the trees and hills.  "Now, it'sss c-c-colddddd" Edmund says throwing a bunch of dry twigs on the fire.  "That is how the jungle and the desert works, hot and humid, cold and damp" Leon says covering up in his sleeping bag and going to sleep.  Sans drinks himself to his slumber as the night gets colder and the hunters come out.  Leon wakes up in the middle of the night to survey the area, all that is around is broken trees and heavy footsteps in the dark jungle.  "SANS!! EDMUND!! GET UP!" Leon says backing his bag and throwing it over your shoulder.  "Oi, it's like 2 am! is there a good reason to this madness?!" Sans says rubbing his eyes.  "MY SPECTACLES!! WHERE ARE THEY!!" Leon says ignoring Sans's remark and looking through sheets of his sleeping bag.  "We have to move!" He says putting on his spectacles on.  "He's here, Flame" He continues pushing his glasses up.   "Oh, alright! That is a very, well, great reason to wake up" Edmund says jumping up quickly and packing everything.  "Christ, I ran out of whiskey" Sans says looking into his flask.
