Passionate Fury (Garrence Aphmau AU)

~Chapter One~

I ran through the streets avoiding every shot thrown at me, watching citizens run in the opposite direction from fear of being killed by the objects propelled around me.

I look to my friends wondering how it all came to this, this very moment as I watch those I care most about being tormented by this evil , and how I can defeat him.

Everything go's back as I recall when this first started...

^v^

"Bro, you up ? Travis and I are waiting, hurry up!" I hear a voice from outside my window, causing me to drop my phone on my face.

"Ow, Dante,Travis is that you?" I make my way to the only window in the room, looking down to find my best friends with their bikes in hand.

"What are you guys doing here! It's like eleven o'clock at night!" I shout, trying to stay quiet but ultimately failing."We came to get you obviously, come on we've got something to show you."

I sigh making my first objective to escape my bedroom without alerting my dad and older sister. "Alright in my way."

I grab various shirts crafting them into a makeshift rope to make my escape , quickly climbing down to meet my friends, my feet landing securely on the ground.

"Ok , I'm here now what's so important that it couldn't wait till tomorrow?" They point at my bike hopping on their own bikes beginning to strap on their helmets. "Travis and I found this cool place and we wanted to show you, come on."

I hop on my bike following the two across town, passing many familiar places ,but apparently not the one they were looking for. It felt like hours before we had arrived to a run down building on the other side of town. "Dante, is this why you woke me up at eleven o'clock in the morning, to see this rundown place."

"First off ,you were already awake; second it's not just a 'rundown place' it's actually really cool inside. " I raise an eyebrow at him in a sarcastic manner. Why would I come with them, without expecting the worst thing imaginable, especially at midnight. I must be a complete moron.

"Laurence, it actually is really cool inside, the place is really clean believe it or not, and it's loaded with different machines." Travis adds, chaining his bike to a bike rack sitting beside the building.

"Look, I promise nothing terrible will happen to you. We'll go inside look around, then leave, no harm about it." I give up ,agreeing to Dante's terms , setting my own bike next to Travis'. "Fine, but if I get hurt you owe me twenty dollars."

"Deal, now come on." I follow them inside finding the building was better kept on the inside rather than out. It's floors carpeted and walls nicely painted. Needless to say I could live here.

The thing that stood out the most was a weird looking machine in the center of the room, it's simple design and child like pieces that it was created from, made it look utterly harmless.

"Hey look, mini fridge! " He rushes over to the small metal box, grabbing a soda and immediately drinks from it. "Are you guys sure, no one lives here , like at all." Travis who was looking at the small ray gun , slightly leaned on the pedestal where it lied.

"Yea ,we came here like ,two days in a row and no one showed up." He began to twirl the gun-like object in his hand. "This is pretty cool, huh guy's. I wonder if it works? "

"Wait, Travis don't-" Immediately after a red-orange beam flew out of the gun, going in Dante's direction, him automatically taking the closet thing next to him, a hand mirror, the beam bouncing off it and hitting...me.

"Oof!" Dante and Travis, dropping their items, run towards me. The small machine that had shot me was now in pieces, scattered across the floor.

Although the lazer like beam hit me, I felt no pain. I felt fine, maybe even better. "Laurence, oh my Irene, I'm so sorry I didn't- "

"Travis I'm fine just-" I hear a noise from the other door and we look over so see it opening. I look to Dante and Travis and they quickly pull me off the floor. "We'll talk later , right now we gotta to move."

I hear a voice coming from the door as we run. It's voice becoming less clear, but I pick up a few words. "Yes sir, I... but.... yes"
As we leave I catch a glimpse of a boy, his features unrecognizable.

We hop on our bikes pedalling towards the intersection between our homes, to scared to look behind us and see a person in chase. My bike comes to a brief halt as Dante and Travis stop theirs as well ,all of us gasping for air.

"Well... that was cool!" We look over at the blue haired idiot we called our friend in rage. What part of that was cool.

"Dante, please explain to me what was so cool about Laurence getting shot with a strange lazer beam, then getting chased out of a supposedly abandoned building!"

"Well for the most part Laurence is ok right?" They both look to me and I mindlessly shrug. "See he's fine."

I sigh ignoring the two's argument, pulling out my phone ,the bright screen briefly blinding me before I'm able too see.

1:55 am.

"Hey, guys I had fun and everything but we do have school tomorrow, so we'll talk later m'kay ." The two continue to argue causing me to roll my eyes while slowly peddling away, the wind blowing through my hair.

Till tomorrow...
