Light in the Universe: Part I (COMPLETE)

Chapter I: Under Arrest

It has been several days since that incident, and Robert has been living like a hobo, He was going to the police station to report his parents for neglect. He was walking through the woods and through a field when Green Master Hand comes out of nowhere and chases him. He was chased for several minutes before he tripped and the hand suddenly stopped and lowered. A door opened and two figures walked calmly out, as if they have done this sort of thing before.

The green one looked as if it were cosplaying for a bootleg Mega Man character, and the orange one looked as if it were posing for an AC DC concert for colorblind people. "Human, you are under arrest! You have..." It paused for a moment to look at an index card, "...the right to remain silent!" Something seemed fishy to Robert, and he had no idea what was wrong with it, other than the fact they came out of traditional police attire and in Green Master Hand. Robert had no idea what to do, because he has never committed any illegal acts as far as he knew. He figured that he would find out what he did eventually as he was in his new home. But instead of being led to his cold, dark jail cell, he was put unconscious by brute force at the hands (or in this case, head) of the faux Rock Star.

Several days later...

Robert woke up inside what seemed to be a booger green mental hospital for crack addicted Martians with ADHD. He saw the same two people carrying what seemed to be a blue lady. She was beautiful to say the least, she even caught a glimpse of him and waved as she was forced down the halls. She was harshly thrown in the cell next to Robert. When the two people left, he first tried to see what happened if he tried to touch the translucent yellow wall in front of him. He thought it would give him an electric shock or sound an alarm, but his hand passed right through the yellow forcefield as if it didn't exist at all with a clear trail below his hand as if it were a waterfall door in Bill Gates's home. Robert made sure they were completely gone and if there were any cameras, which there weren't.

At first, Robert thought about making a mad dash for the exit and run for his life, but it didn't seem that the blue lady did anything wrong, and his conscious wouldn't let him leave without taking her along. So he went to the cell next to him and made an opening. "What's your name, human?" she asked. Robert heard footsteps coming, so he knew he had to hurry up. "No time to explain, let's just get the hell outta here" he whispered. The blue lady shook her head in shame. "I-I can't..." she said. Robert thought about dragging her through, but the footsteps were getting louder and closer, so he had to make a run for it.

The whole place was like a labyrinth, and things only got worse from there, because he saw a window that revealed he wasn't in Kansas anymore, he wasn't even on Earth anymore! Robert could have stared at that view for hours, but he knew he had to get a move on. Robert was also looking for something to eat because he hasn't eaten in several days. While he was running, he kept thinking "What did I do to deserve this?"

Eventually, Robert found what seemed to be a control room, and he managed to turn the ship around back to Earth. He didn't care if he landed in the Atlantic Ocean, as long as he was on the only planet he could live on. He even had a plan for any country or ocean he could possibly land in. Most of which involved using the ship as a boat. Robert also found that the controls doubled as a supercomputer. Robert downloaded some of the files kept on the supercomputer that looked sinister. He couldn't understand most of it because it was in a language that appeared to be a bunch of lines being used as Japanese characters. After a while, he was caught by the Green one "You insipid clod! Do you have any idea what you just did?" it cried. It gave chase after it realized it was one of the prisoners. Robert ran to his cell and stayed there, with his captors oblivious to the fact that he stole several zettabytes of top secret data.

Robert later saw a boy who appeared to be younger than he was, and the boy seemed to be nice. "Who are you?" he asked. "I'm Steven, and I'm looking for my friends." Robert dragged Steven inside and explained himself. Steven seemed to understand. "Where are your parents?" Steven asked. "...Dead to me..."Robert replied. "Why, what're you in for?" Robert then asked. Steven seemed confused. "You're under arrest?" Steven asked. "Isn't that why I'm in this jail cell?" Robert replied. Steven ran out and waved goodbye to go rescue his friends.

When the orange pseudo rock star went by, Robert was getting bored, so he decided to have some fun. "Hey, blondie! The eighties called! They said they want their hair back!" he cracked. "It's Jasper, short stack" the orange one yelled in frustration. "You're neither friendly nor a ghost so how can you say that!" Robert cracked again. "...And Rambo wants his war paint back!" Jasper glared at him and snarled, but it didn't scare him, because he was used to it by his peers. "You're so stupid, you tried to move to the state of matter" Robert cracked again. He kept thinking of insults to make Jasper angry, and most of them were successful, mostly because they made her feel dumb for not understanding. "Hey, when am I goin' to court?" Robert asked. "I need to make a phone call." Jasper actually tried to take a few swings at Robert, but since she forgot to turn the gate off, she only hurt herself. And it was quite humorous seeing someone as buff as Jasper get electrocuted by her own trap. But then Jasper had to leave, (to fight Garnet) so Robert was stuck waiting for the ship to reach Earth.

A few hours later, he heard a large explosion and the ship feel down to Earth. It was terrifying for Robert to fall at such a great speed, but he was glad to be finally going to the only planet he could call home. He fell unconscious during the fall, and the last thing he remembers is a huge explosion, that he was a part of.
