Sky City Wars

Intruder

Harold stood up with Aaron. "What is it?" Asked Harold. Gordon ran by their room and they followed. "Harold, Aaron, take these weapons." Said Gordon tossing them laser guns. "Why?" Asked Aaron. "There is the bounty hunters." Said Gordon slamming his fist into a red button. The cargo door opened and they ran out into the station. 

"Where are they Anise?" Asked Gordon. "Fifty yards to your East." Said Anise. Gordon turned and saw two figures wearing heavy jackets and hats walking fast towards their ship. They each had a hand on their hips, they pushed through the crowds. "Harold, Aaron, go hide. I'll talk to them." Said Gordon. Harold and Aaron ran to hiding spots nearby. "Anise, Sik. Go start the ship." Said Gordon. "Yes sir." Said Anise as she and Sik ran up into the ship.

The two men walked up to Gordon. "Hello Officer Rimes. We hear you have a very bad man on your ship." Said the first man. "Can I see some I.D." Said Gordon. "Of course." Said the first man pulling out a card and showing it to Gordon. "We are part of the Galactic Force as well. We work undercover. We need our prisoner back." Said the second man. 

"Well I thought you guys had him. I can't help that man." Said Gordon. "You're funny Mr. Rimes." Said the first man. "Officer Rimes." Said Gordon. "Yes, sorry." Said the first one. "Well, you have to have a warrant." Said Gordon. "True. But sir, you are a rouge agent of the Galactic Force and are wanted." Said the first guard. "We are here to arrest you." Said the second guard.

Gordon laughed. "Guys, you know I'm the best officer there is. I am not giving up this easily." Said Gordon. "If you say so." Said the second officer pulling out a pair of handcuffs. "Now." Said Gordon holding out his wrists. 

Harold fired and the second officer dropped the cuffs. Aaron fired and the two officers ducked. "Guys. Into the ship." Said Gordon running up the ramp, Harold and Aaron followed. "Go! Go! Go! Fly us away Anise!" Yelled Harold. The ship lifted into the air. 

"Sir, we have an escapee." Said the first officer sitting on the ground. "Did Rimes escape?" Asked a voice over the radio. "Yes, he has a crew now. A man and a boy, and two robots." Said the first officer. "Damn, well go get him. If you need backup. We got it. We can't let him change history." Said the man. 

"What the hell do they mean when they say you've gone rouge?" Asked Harold. Gordon laughed and sat down. "Harold. Relax." Said Gordon. "Relax? My best friend shows up 25 years later and whisks me and my son away into space for the search for the key to Atlantis. Now we have a whole space military after us!" Yelled Harold. 

"Yeah it sounds bad but don't worry. The reason I've gone rogue is because the galaxy will rip apart. The key is the only thing to fix it." Said Gordon. Harold sat down. "Go to hell." Said Harold. "Been there done that." Said Gordon. "How are we supposed to escape them?" Asked Aaron. "Anise fixed that." Said Gordon. "How?" Asked Aaron. "She removed it and stuck it on another ship." Said Gordon. 

Harold walked away to the study. "Sorry about him. He kinda has been short tempered." Said Aaron. "It's totally fine. He always has been." Said Gordon laughing. Aaron nodded and stood up. "Well I'm off to bed." Said Aaron. "See ya in the morning." Said Gordon. Aaron walked away. Gordon walked to the cockpit. 

"Anise. Fly us to the safe haven." Said Gordon. "Of course captain." Said Anise and they went into hyper drive. 

It was three in the morning and Harold was still busy studying the part of the key. "Anise, can I ask you something?" Asked Harold. "You just did." Said Anise. "No I mean another question, about the key." Said Harold. "Yes of course." Said Anise. "If you look closely at the key part we have there is a grid looking section. What if this isn't a key to Atlantis. I searched everywhere and there is no just one Atlantis. So many records and people saying they saw it. What if it's to somewhere else. Somewhere no one knows but it is more of a divine place?" Asked Harold. 

"What do you mean?" Asked Anise. "Gordon and I in high school studied, in our own time about this place called V.H.S. Or Vacuum Hospital Society." Said Harold. "Ah, I know what you're talking about. Scholars Sean Suggs and John Malory came up with V.H.S." Said Anise. "That there is no heaven, hell, or purgatory. But a waiting room that goes no where." Said Harold. "And why are you bringing this up?" Asked Anise. "The key has grid shapes on it. What if it is an actual place, there is no Atlantis but a key to V.H.S." Said Harold. 

"That makes sense actually. But the V.H.S was a thing written by two high school students." Said Anise. "But they ended up being scholars." Said Harold. "Still they came up with it in high school when they saw a vacuum." Said Anise. Harold sighed. 

"Still. Things can happen." Said Harold. "True, but there's no such thing called V.H.S." Said Anise. "We have no evidence it doesn't exist. What if when all the key pieces come together they lead us to V.H.S." Said Harold. 

Harold walked over to the shelf and grabbed a book. "Ah, good, the Story of V.H.S. By two High School Students." Said Harold. "They could be making it up." Said Anise. "I don't think so." Said Harold flipping through the pages. "They have a piece." Said Harold. "How do you know?"
 Asked Anise. 

Harold pointed at a picture on the page. There was a picture of a chunk of metal that was shaped like their piece. It had a large picture of a grid on it. "There. If I put this next to it, it matches up next to it perfectly." Said Harold setting his piece next to the picture. "The caption of the picture says... 'July 9th. 1997 Cayman Islands.' Well that's where we need to go." Said Harold. "To 1997?" Asked Anise. "Not yet, we'll go then once I get the time travel up and running." Said Harold. "Okay. Course plotted for Cayman Islands." Said Anise.
