The Adventures of Milo! : Chapter 1 : The Thief's Note.

Part 1 : The Thief's Note.

*in a desolate town. Broken, silent, and small.*

*From the ashes of this sorry town, Erects a Gate. So massive that it stands over even the tallest building*

*The gate shines with a blue light that can be seen from miles away, Today, a revolt will attempt to show the apparent lies and false fear of the gate.*

Cult Leader : Fellow brothers! Welcome! I will show you that their lies will not control us any longer! They say that they don't know whats beyond the gate! They say that if we touch the gate that we will face a punishment greater than death!

Townspeople and cultist : *Cheers aloud and puts up there hands*

*The mayor and body guards emerge from the crowd*

Mayor Labo : GET DOWN FROM THERE! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!

Cult Leader : I do though. We're all tired of this. You and the counselors know whats beyond! And you make these poor people fear and live in poverty whilst that glutton up there and you roll in pennies!

*He removes his black weathered glove*

Mayor Labo : HILTON! GET DOWN FROM THAT STAGE! YOU'LL DIE!

*The crowd nearly drowns out his please with their roaring cheers*

Cult Leader : I remove your fear now. My brothers! YOU ARE FREE TO TOUCH THE GATE! ITS ALL LIES!

*The crowd draws silent as Hilton places his hand on the gate, under his skull shaped mask, a scared wincing face is hidden*

*Everyone is silent as a glowing circle forms just around Hilton's hand*

Hilton : SEE! NOTHING HAPPENED! NO POLICE, NO PAIN, ITS A FRAUD! YOU'RE A FOOL FATHER!

*The crowd cheers and mocks the mayor*

*Labo turns away from him and walks out of the crowd sad*
*Hilton laughs hysterically*

*he attempts to pull away from the wall but he cant*

Hilton : Whats going on!? *He frantically tries to pull his hand from the gates door*

*The eye insignia on the door glows*

*His hand has turned to stone and all up is arm is slowly creeping up is turning to stone*

Hilton : HELP ME! PLEASE HELP ME!

*The crowd is screaming in horror*

*Mayor Labo walks in the door, and the door slowly shuts behind him*

*Hilton is turning completely into stone*

Hilton : FATHER I'M SORRY! *He completely turns to stone*

*The town now returns to it's normal silence*

*The gate glows bright, and that brightness singles and goes to one point, The place where Hilton's hand is attached to the door*

*The light waves over his body and several glowing cracks begin to emanate from the statue that once was Hilton. The statue bust and blows hard stones in all directions, Completely shattering Hilton.*

*The light from the eye dims back down to the steady thin beam it was**Elsewhere in the junkyard*

*a large chocolate bar is being eaten on by a large strange looking insect*

*The insect has a long neck, small body, and four sharp legs sticking into the ground, its antenna help it eat the chocolate*

*A small creature looks on from a far, His stomach growls as he hungers for the candy*

His name is Milo.

*The creature slips up and drops the bar*

*Milo looks excited and runs, His arms extend and he grabs the bar, The insect hisses and looks at Milo*

*Milo rolls and hugs the candy* 

*The insect hisses and spits at Milo*

*Milo looks terrified, He waves and then runs*

*The insect chases Milo*

*Milo jumps over garbage and other junk whilst the insect just bashes and easily climbs over it*

*The bug starts to catch up with him, Milo thinks fast and throws the candy bar in front of him over a broken refrigerator, He gets the insects attention by mocking it*

*The insect hisses and then the insects jaws clamp shut nearly on Milo, Milo slides under the fridge and it slams into the fridge knocking it silly*

*Milo lands right next to the candy bar*

*He grabs the candy bar and starts running towards the exit*
*The bug smells the air and sees the candy bar on the car door*

*it runs towards the car, just as it gets ready to snatch it, Milo launches himself towards the door and it slams open and bashes the bug in the head knocking it out*

*It lets out a sharp cry, So shrill that it makes Milo's ears ring*

*Milo looks over in the direction of the refrigerator to see about 7 more of the bugs coming* 

*He shrieks and runs with his chocolate*

*The bugs are in pursuit of him*

*Milo runs across the street from the junkyard*

*The junkyard workers bring out a torch rod and shakes it violently, Keeping most of the bugs back*

Junkyard worker : BACK YOU HEATHENS!

*one of the junkyard workers gets taken by the leg and drug into the depths of the yard*

*Milo pants and starts to eat his candy bar, He finishes it and throws the wrapper*

*Milo lives in a rat hole, on the outside of a rough looking house, The owners of the house don't know he's there, But most of the time they are at work, You may think that when I say pennies that I'm being over dramatic. But they actually make pieces of pennies. The world is very poor and to compensate, They must work hard, on average a person that works a week, will make a penny and a few pieces.*

*Milo sits down on his make shift bed, and looks around.*

*He looks at all of his treasures.*

Milo : *Sighs contempt* 

*His treasures are actually just trash that he has stolen

*He is one of the best thief's in town even though most of what he steals is garbage.*

*He's been doing this for a few years, Never really thinking of the world around him*

*he hears a noise outside of his house and wonders whats going on, He peaks his head out and sees a line of people outside of the dusty dog*

Worker : WELCOME TO THE DUSTY DOG! TODAY'S SPECIAL IS 1 DOG AND 1 POTATO FOR 2 PIECES! BUY ONE GET ONE FREE!

*Milo's mouth starts to water*

 Milo : Hrmmm *He looks at one of the busted windows in the attic.*

*He runs and with his stretchy arms he launches himself into the second story window*

 *He crashes into a bunch of stored bread*

 *He pokes his head out and sees the workers quickly running up the stares and grabbing boxes, They're trying their best to keep up with the large amount of orders*

*Milo runs and jumps in with bread that's about to be taken down*

*As soon as Milo hides with the bread, The board is lifted up and taken down*

 Joker : Here ya go sir!

*He smiles*

Restaurant Boss (Rob) : yeah yeah! The bread will be moldy by the time we get through,

*He yanks the bread and slams it down*

*He very quickly starts putting hot dogs in the bread and rolling it up, He does it so fast that Milo is getting dizzy*

Rob : THEY ASKED FOR JUICE NOT WATER!

*A juice is slowly slid down the bar*

Rob : ORDER TABLE 3! *he takes a sip of the juice*

Rob : THIS IS MANGO JUICE! THEY REQUESTED STRAWBERRY!

 *He continues very quickly making the hot dogs up until all of the buns are gone*

*Milo looks scared and he looks up at Rob*

*He looks at Milo and continues to rant*

Rob : YOU'D THINK FROM HOW MUCH YOU YOUNG PEOPLE SPEAK THAT'D YOU BE ABLE TO TAKE AN-

*He pauses and glances at Milo*

Rob : YOU! NOT YOU AGAIN! Rob : GET ME THE BROOM!

*Milo sticks out his tongue and runs down the bar, He grabs a plate full of food and runs*

*Several employees jump on the bar and miss Milo*

*one of the employee jumps over the bar into someones table*

Rob : WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!?

*Rob gets a broom and swings it at Milo*

*Milo jumps off the bar and rob hits one of the workers*

Rob : THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR NOT SWEE-

Rob : VIVIAN GET THE BAND AIDS

*Milo is running as fast as he can to the door and the customers are cheering him on*

*Rob jumps over the counter and screams*

Rob : ONE MORE CHEER AND I'M RAISING THE PRICES TO 1 DOLLAR!

*The customers go silent and continue to eat.*

Rob : NOT AGAIN LITTLE MAN *He laughs*

*Rob brings out a vacuum and attempts to suck Milo up, Milo throws one of the potatoes into the vacuum hose

Rob : I'LL GET YOU! I SWEAR! *He shakes his fist*

*A baby starts crying and robs face becomes unamused**His wife swats him with a newspaper*

Vivian : Robert! How rude!

Rob : Well we can't just let that little pest steal our dogs!

Vivian : We could at least give him one meal but no you make him resort to stealing.

Rob : Oh whatever! He's been taking things from me sense before we got married*

*Milo sits down the plate in front of the house, He eats some of the food and then runs away from it*

*He sees the woman that owns the house, she has her kid, they look at the plate curiously, Milo waits for they're reaction.*

Boy : What is this mommy?

Mother : I don't know sweaty but go for it I guess food is food and this much can feed us for a minute.

Boy : IVE BEEN WANTING TO TRY A DUSTY DOG!

*He lifts the plate and runs into the house*

*The mother looks around*

Mother : Thank you! Whoever! *She smiles and walks into the house*

and it gets stopped up, Milo dodges a few more staff members and runs out of the door with the plate*

*Milo smiles and runs into his mouse hole*

*He looks around and feels strange*

*He sees a note posted to the door*

*Milo yanks it off his door and unfolds the paper*

"??? : well... If you're reading this, I know that you have conscious enough to read. And we can begin.
Now, Up to this point you have stolen for yourself,
And believe it or not little one, You have the ability to answer a question thats haunted your home for years."

*Milo tilts his head*

"???: You have an interesting place in this world your stealing has made you be considered one of the worst pest in your town. Which in this case will be our greatest ally*

*??? : I'm in the position that I cannot simply do this task by myself, For there are too many hazards and I don't have enough time to handle this, but before I tell you anymore, I need you to get something to prove your devotion to the plan. Get and bring back a Golden Bangle (turn the page)

*Milo's eyes turn giant at the thought of something gold*

*page 2 || ??? : Now I know gold is something your eyes have never seen. But don't fear too much. I actually can help you out. Its being worn by a foul creature Called the lurker. his house will not be easy to get to, Its in the swamp, good luck. Don't lose sight."

*Milo drops the note confused*

*He wonders who left the note*

*He wonders what he should do*

*He sees another slip of paper*

*??? : Oh and please do not sell it when you get it... that would throw a wrench in the plan*

*Milo crumbles the paper up and throws it down

Milo : I would never... *He crosses his arms and puckers his lips*

*He lays down, Ready to make his decision the following day*
