The upcomming future...
Well I'm going back to school tommorrow and when I get there I'll work on something that summed up a lot of what I did during my summer vacation or at least the last week of it, since much of the rest of it was just based around doing semi boring work for $20 an hour.
Now then let me turn over to Alex who'll be recapping what he did this summer in New York in song accompanied by guitar...
Alex: James I've told you before I don't know how to play guitar.
James: Don't worry it's cool, I've got one of those street musicians you see in the subway tied up in the shed out back.
Alex: Hey, assimilating biomass is only one of many options in my metaphorical tool box, there's also immortality.
James: So should we just wait around till you learn how to play guitar? I mean that'd be mighty boring for all of us...
Alex: (Pause) I'll be out back, this'll take about thirty seconds.
(Twenty seconds later)
Alex: Well that was another hundred and twenty pounds or so that I'll have to work off sometime in the near future. Now then... (picks up guitar and strums chords) huh, feels just as natural as double parking a tank I got my hands on by bailing out of a stolen helicopter from a hundred feet above it and gliding right down its porthole....
(Starts playing music while walking down badly wrecked streets)
Alex: This was a triumph, I'm making a note here...
(Shot of a morgue lab worker with a note reading "I'M NOT DEAD YET!" driven into his head by his own scalpel)
Alex: HUGE SUCCESS!
(Shot of dead soldiers with the words "I'M GETTING BETTER!" Spelled out at their feet in spent bullets fired into the ground)
Alex: It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction....
(Shot of Alex running down a street being chased by helicopters, he isn’t quite outrunning them)
(A helicopter fires a rocket, it blows a car up into the air and it seems like it’s going to land on Alex when it comes back down...)
(Except that he catches it, smiles, and hurls it back at the helicopter causing both to explode)
Alex: Gentek science...
(Shot of a building with the name “Gentek” on it)
Alex: We do what we must because we can...
(Shot of Alex jumping out of the building leaving behind a large hole in the building’s wall)
(He runs back in)
(Cut to a shot of the building with the words “I QUIT SUCKERS!” spelled out on it in holes punched in it except the exclamation point is missing it’s dot...)
Alex: For the gods of all of us, except the ones who are black...
(Shot of a folder marked “Carnival II”)
Alex: But there’s no sense crying over every mistake....
(Shot of Alex walking through clouds of a red mist coughing slightly and then replicating the Chosen One’s feat at the start of Kung Pow (punching straight through someone’s chest) on a nearby solider)
Alex: Just keep on trying till you’ve got a vector that takes...
(Shot of Alex grabbing the soldiers body and countless little tentacles extend from his hands plunging into the soldier’s corpse and pulling him INSIDE Alex)
Alex: But the science gets done...
(Shot of a group of cells on a petri dish starting to multiply, very, very, VERY, RAPIDLY!)
Alex: And you get a subject on the run....
(Subtitles slide out beneath Alex Burn Notice Style reading “Zeus Male Runner..”)
Alex: From the people who are still alive!
(Shot of Alex throwing darts at a board with his former boss’ face on it)
(Cut to shot of Alex jumping off of a roof top, landing on a helicopters wing, ripple a missile off of it, hanging from the helicopter upside down by just his legs, and then hurling it at a solider on the ground with “predictable” results...)
Alex: (Snarling) I’m not even angry...
(Shot of Alex on a crosswalk when a car comes careening at him, he proceeds to freeze, flip the driver the bird and release a perfectly timed kick at the car’s front bumper that totally caves in the hood destroying the engine in the process)
Alex: I’m being so sincere right now...
(As Alex continues to sing his body begins to get shift and flow taking on countless different appearances before finally turning back into him)
Alex: Even though you broke my back...
(Shot of a gigantic solider built like the Space Marines from Warhammer 40K and about eight feet tall grabbing Alex and slamming his back down onto the soldier’s waiting upraised knee)
Flashback Alex: It’s times like these when I’m glad I’ve got three spines...
Alex: And killed me....
(Shot of Alex flying a helicopter when a message pops up “Now minimal safe distance from Manhattan...”)
(He gets up and kicks off the door to the pilot seat before jumping down to land on an atomic bomb he was towing along with the helicopter out over the ocean, it has 30 seconds left on the timer)
Alex: And tore me to pieces...
(Alex flicks his right hand like a magician except instead of a bunch of roses suddenly a cowboy hat appears in his grip)
(He does the same thing with his left hand which suddenly transforms into a claw)
(He slams the hat onto his head and slashes with the claw at the cables cutting them)
(With twenty seconds left the bomb starts to fall while Alex plucks the hat form his head and starts waving it back and forth happily)
(With ten seconds left it plunges into the water)
Alex: And threw every piece into the fire...
(Ten seconds of silence)
(Shot of gigantic mushroom cloud shooting out of the water)
Alex: As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you....
(Shot of a piece of wreckage that got washed ashore it has a lot of “black goo” splattered on it)
(A murder of crows lands next to it and one hesitantly plucks at the black goo with its beak)
(More crows start to peck and then start to fight over the stuff)
(The black goo suddenly turns into countless sharpened tendrils which shoot out and impale the crows)
(The crows are then dragged back into the puddle of black goo which grows bigger, and bigger, and bigger until it suddenly turns back into Alex who is nonplussed about the whole thing)
Alex: Now these points of data make a beautiful line...
(Shot of Alex standing in front of a black board with “What the f*** happened to me” written on it...” he flips it over revealing a gigantic “conspiracy theory” style web with various people’s faces and lines drawn between them all)
Alex: Yes I’m no beta, this Prototype is fully online.
(Shot of Alex starring down a gigantic slug shooting out of the middle of Time's Square, he just shrugs and suddenly Masamune shoots out his right arm and he charges it)
Alex: So I’m glad I got burned...
(Shot of Alex taking a rocket in the gut it explodes, and is momentarily obscured by a cloud of smoke which he then walks out of, pulls smoking remnants of rocket out of his chest and spits out some shrapnel
Alex: Think of all the things I can learn....
(Shot of a bottle of black liquid slipping from a human hand in the middle of a train station amid the sound of cursing and gunshots)
Alex: From the people who are still alive...
(Shot of Alex walking up to a door wooden, and headbutting it hard enough that the entire thing shatters before walking out dragging a screaming scientist with him)
Alex: Go ahead and flee me...
(Shot of countless doors being locked and people getting in cars to drive away form their homes)
Alex: I think its cute when you try to hide.
(Shot of Alex clinging to the underside of a car being driven by a panicked man)
Alex: Maybe you’ll find someone who can protect you...
(Shot of grateful people being herded into safe houses)
Alex: Like maybe the Blackwatch...
(Shot of soldiers wearing gas masks and night vision goggles dressed in black and white)
(Shots of tanks driving down the streets)
(Shots of helicopters in the air)
Alex: That was a joke, haha! Fat chance!
(Shot of Alex walking up behind a soldier and tapping him on the shoulder as the man turns around her suddenly notices that Alex’s other arm has suddenly sprouted Masamune which has currently impaled the solider)
(Shot of Alex uses Masamune to slice right through tanks)
Flashback Alex: And those fools said you couldn’t hurt tanks with a katana!
(Shot of Alex jumping onto a helicopter, slicing off the rotor and then jumping off while it plummets)
Alex: Anyway this ‘cake’ is great it’s so delicious and moist...
(Shot of Alex playfully running his hands along the forehead of a scientists before sucking the entire person’s body into his being)
Flashback Alex: Ahh well aged just the way I like it!
Alex: Look at me still talking when there’s science to do...
(Shot of Alex cutting off his own left hand with a scalpel, then he puts down the scalpel and picks up his dissected left hand with a new one that almost instantly grew out of his stump. With his right hand he picks up a pencil chews on it and then writes “Now that ain’t right...” on a sticky notes, attaches it to the jar he then puts his old left hand in)
Alex: When I look out there it makes me glad I’m not you!
(Shot of a dilapidated Manhattan with pieces falling off of buildings, and some people looking distinctly “zombified” except with red skin instead of grey.
Alex: I’ve experiments to run....
(Shot of Alex looking a stopwatch as he runs)
(Camera shifts and we see that Alex is running straight up the side of a building without difficulty)
Alex: There is research to be done...
(Shot of Alex scrubbing up and putting on a surgeons outfit)
Alex: On the people who are still alive...
(He then walks into a makeshift “clean room” where he has someone strapped down to a table)
Alex: And believe me I am still alive...
(Shot of one armed general looking away from corpse with a NASTY looking hole in blown in the back of its head)
Alex: I’m doing science and I’m still alive...
(Shot of the ‘corpse’ getting back up and its face knitting itself back together as it shape shifts to reveal Alex)
Alex: I feel fantastic and I’m still alive!
(Shot of Alex cricking his fingers and then holding them out towards a bunch of soldiers. Each solider suddenly turns into a long tendril and skewers a solider. More of them come out of a corner behind him, but Alex spreads “wings” made out of more tendrils which impale them as well)
Alex: While you’re dyeing I’ll be still alive!
(The tendrils then begin to “reel in” the soldiers towards Alex)
Alex: And when you’re dead I will be still alive!
(The soldiers bodies vanish inside Alex along with all of their equipment except for their firearms, one of which Alex picks up)
Alex: Still alive, still alive!
(Alex then smashes guitar over his knee, casually walks into a crowd of people we see his shape start to blur and then it becomes impossible to keep track of him)
Oh and on another good for me I finally managed to fix the problem I was having and now I can replay the game with freaking sound this time around!
