Prologue
[spoiler=wRHG SPAR : GamerXD8 Versus ErrorBlender]Forever Alone...
"Alright...Food and Drink: Check. Junks: Check. Wallet: Check..." Lucas whispered to himself as he was putting things in his bag. Sitting alone, oh so alone in a little room he called home, preparing for a trip to escape this loneliness...
Uh..What are you doing, mumbling things like "Check, Check, Check..."? Is this Chess or something? Rio questioned Lucas' rambling.
"That's "Checkmate", mate. Anyway, I gotta prepare my luggage because we're going."
Aw...No more free food at the Chat Lounge?
"...Yes, I must regrettably say. And it's Chat Room."
Whatever. So...Where are we going?
"Ask the watch, not me. I can't control the destination. Last time I check it warped us to Bl.An.C.'s lab and we got caught, too. Hope this thing doesn't screw us this time."
Don't say that, Lucas. Because EVERYTIME you say that, it happens.
"So I should just shut up?"
FOR GOD'S SAKE, YES! Your speaking and monologuing are driving me INSANE! JUST SHUT UP AND DO IT!
"Somebody got issues. Guess I'll stop my dialogue and monologue to fancy your interest."
And so Lucas zipped his mouth and finished preparing his stuff. He then proceeded to click the button on the side of his Different Dimension Watch and a blue portal appeared on the wall in front of him. Then with a dash, he jumped through the portal and disappeared along with it, leaving behind a lifeless room, dimly lit by the sunlight sneaking its way through the curtain.
...And Lost
"Ahhh...The gentle breeze...When I open my eyes, it shall be an oceanic paradise where there’re beautiful girls everywhere and even free food. Ah...Heaven is upon us!" And then he noticed that the breeze was hot and grainy, as if there were something small carried by the wind. When he opened his eyes, it wasn't "paradise" he saw and instead, "hell". As in, a desert where the sun's intense light scorches everything alive, devoid of life and no girls, no beaches (well, there's sand at least) and no free food.
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" And a scream echoed across the vast, deserted desert.
I TOLD YOU! You should've shut your mouth! Rio's mental voice hit Lucas like a 10-ton hammer to the head.
"Alright, alright...Got it. What's next?” Lucas scratched his chin for a bit, then pointed right ahead. “Since there's nothing here, I suggest heading in one direction. That might bring us somewhere." Lucas gave Rio a suggestion.
Agree. Now shut up and go!
And with that, Lucario dashed off. He just kept running and running, passing through sand dunes and sand dunes, slowly crossing the sea of sand. But as time passed by, his feet became heavier and heavier with each steps he took. Even the bag that used to be as light as a feather now weighed like a ton. His eyesight began to grow blurry as his sweat ran down his hot face. Not even his black goggles could completely block out the blinding sunlight. With all of his rations eaten, he was helpless and at the mercy of fate. Giving up was not an option, though. So he just kept on dragging his feet hopelessly, in one hand was his bag and the other was his sleeveless jacket. With only sheer willpower and the adrenaline pumping through his veins as his strength, he went on crossing the vast wilderness, with no sign of a finish line. He then saw hope! A single metal rod sticking out of a field of endless sand, its orange light blinking. Dashing off with all his might, he grabbed it with all of his might, afraid of letting go of his chance of escape. But nothing happened. He began to scream:
"Please...Anyone there? Help...I BEG YOU! Please...Anyone..." And then he collapsed, his body laying flat on the hot sand. He could feel the hot, rough surface of the sand slowly cooking him like a piece of BBQ. The last thing he saw was a single pair of legs and everything darkened.
Awakening, and Interrogation!
"Ugh...Where...Where am I?" Lucario muttered as he was covering his eyes from the bright neon light. When his eyes had readjusted, he noticed a lady standing next to him. Her brown hair was tied into a pony tail and a pair of glasses perched on her nose covering her amber eyes. With her white lab coat slightly stained by oil and a simple t-shirt and jeans, anyone could tell that she was a scientist. But he didn't take heed of that, for an oil stain is easily fabricated.
"Ah, you're awake. Here, a cup of water. You must be very thirsty, right? But take a small sip one at a time. That'll help." She said, her hand holding a glass of water.
"Ah...Thank you. Thank you for saving me. The name's Lucario." His voice was barely a whisper. He accepted her kindness and drank it, bit by bit to quench his undying thirst.
"I really appreciate your help in my troubled life. I have my eternal gratitude." He thanked her with a small voice.
"You're welcome. I've got no qualms with helping people. What did you say your name was?" She asked.
"My name is Lucario, but you can call me Luke." he smiled back warmly. "But...I must say, your beautiful smile sure is beautiful, Mrs. Alice. And that lab coat compliments your figure greatly. I've rarely seen beautiful women like you." His flattery coated with honey sounded like music to her ears.
"Oh," Alice smiled again. "Please call me Alice. I'm not married yet or anything." Her face turned red slightly.
"Why certainly, Miss Alice." He smiled back at her. Looking around, he noticed a variety of medical equipments, some of which were very hi-tech and complex.
"Excuse me for asking, but would you mind telling me where this place is, Alice?" His eyebrows raised, showing his curiousity.
"You are somewhere safe." Alice replied soothingly. "Where are you from exactly? I don't see houses nearby in the desert." She ended the sentence with a smile.
"Well...I have teleportation ability. But the navigation screwed up and I ended up in the desert. Once again, I must humbly thank you for saving my life."
"No worries." Alice paid it no heed.
"Hmmm...Would it bother you if I make a guess?" Luke tapped his chin, deep in thought.
"What kind of guess?" The scientist asked. She fixed claimed her glasses and began to wipe them clean with a piece of cloth she took from her pocket.
"Let me guess...Is this place a research facility of some sort?" He said, this time with a calm voice, so calm that it was frightening. His eyes looked straight at her, detecting any signs of body language.
Alice placed her glasses back on and observed Lucario. "What made you say that?" She said cooly.
"Well..." He shifted his head from one side to another, displaying his slight loss of words. ""This 'Medical Room' looked a bit TOO well-equipped to be in a small place. Also, I remember seeing a metal rod before blacking out. I have a feeling that this place is underground. Is that right?"
"Or this could be a government controlled hospital and you’re in the underground floors."
"Oh...That might be it. But we're in the middle of the desert."
"Los Angeles is in the middle of a desert, Lucario." She said musically. "So unless you've gotten a hotel room somewhere else, I can escort you outside." The atmosphere became tense, as if trying to crush poor Lucas.
"And I forgot to tell you this, but I thought I saw something like schematics and highly advanced equipment. A little bit out of place for a hospital, don't you think? But I can't remember clearly when I saw it." He said nonchalantly.
Alice looked at Lucario accusingly. "Are you sure you ended up here by accident?"
"Yes. The way I am found helpless, dehydrated and hungry proves it." And at that very moment, his stomach grumbled.
"Ah...Terribly sorry...Would you mind showing me the way to the kitchen? I can cook pretty well." He said while giving a thumbs up, his tone was relaxing.
"Let's go then. No use asking questions to a patient with an empty stomach." She said.
"Thank you. After that, would you show me where you put my bag and jacket?" Luke wondered.
"It's right there actually, on the bed to your right. Weird though. What's with these disks?" Alice asked as she held up a pouch in front of her.
"Well, that's music! I managed to download a lot of awesome tunes in it." Luke said with a wide grin, as if displaying his pride and joy.
"Oh? I managed to scan it a few times and it didn't quite meet up with what you said." She said eyeing Lucario.
"Strange...Guess I know why. My music player is kinda weird, so the disks are rather...different." Then Luke shrugged a bit.
"Let's not play, Lucario. I've had a few 'visits' to the wRHG archive. What are you doing here." She pressed.
"Oh my. Looks like you got me. Yes, I'm a wRHG. Yet I ended up here PURELY by accident. I did tell you about my random teleportation ability right? But you let something important slip. You KNOW about wRHG. So that makes you a certain wRHG's acquaintance. And like you, I also read through the wRHG archive. And I think I know who your acquantaince is, too. But do not worry. I'm a fair guy. Winning by taking hostages or things like that isn't my style. Besides, it's not even my goal!" His devilish smile didn't make it sound convincing.
"So what is your goal then?" Alice asked curiously. She kept her hands in her pockets, the pouch of disks weighed heavily onto the white coat's left pocket.
"Simple. To become stronger. Only then can I reach a certain "truth". And speaking of that, there is one thing I must ask. And you MUST NOT LIE!" His expressions became very serious, not even his black goggles could hide the rage behind his eyes.
Alice was unfazed. She met his stare eye for eye.
"Does the name..."Zoroark" ring any bells?" His eyes fixed upon her, detecting any proof of lying.
Alice looked up, seriously analyzing her thoughts to see any correlation anywhere. Then she shook her head.
"Sorry. I have nothing on anyone named Zoroark. I haven't even seen him in wRHG records." She said.
"Oh...Really?" He asked skeptically, but he knew. By analyzing her aura, her emotions and personality became clear. And it clearly told him: "It's the truth. There's nothing you can do about it." He was furious, not because she wasn't lying. It was because he was wrong. He was confident that she knew something because this place...It's Bl.An.C.'s base. To be precise, a very large underground research facility. With access to unlimited database, she must've known something...anything to help him. But...the reality didn't live up to his expectations. Reality, fate, destiny...They are always cruel bastards.
"Yeah," She said casually. "Not that I trust you any more than any intruder." She confided. "I would like to see you cook."
"Great. My stomach is CRAVING for food! Onward!" His laughter broke the tense atmosphere and he dashed out of the room...Only to pop his head inside again and asked:"Where is the kitchen?"
Alice giggled a bit. It’s been awhile since she did...it felt great. "I'll lead the way."
"Onward! To the kitchen! A grand meal awaits us!" His enthusiasm was surprising, considering his extremely serious personality from before. And so, the both of them went to the kitchen to satisfy their hunger. Or Lucario's, to be exact.
A Not-so-Brief Meeting
"Ah...Heaven," Lucario said with satisfaction while patting his food-filled belly. "With my stomach stuffed, I feel that I can take on the world!"
"I see you've enjoyed it greatly," Alice chuckled. "Though I'm surprised that you can cook very well. Almost perfect, I must say."
"Let's just say...I have practice," With his bag in one hand, his jacket worn, his disk pouch on his belt, Luke was ready to head off. "Anyway, looks like I got all my things. Would you mind showing me the exit?"
"Why certainly, follow me." And so Alice headed off, with Lucario right behind.
When they crossed the Control Room, Luke had a slightly eerie smirk on his face, but it quickly disappeared. Reaching the "front door", Luke muttered:
"Oh...So it was fixed" as he was rubbing his chin.
"Did you say something?" Alice curiously asked.
"Nothing. So I just go through this "Decontamination Room" and get on the elevator to leave this compound?"
"Technically, yes. Do you need me to escort you outside?" Alice said with her arm raised, offering her guidance.
"No need to, though I think it's a bit impossible for me to leave right now," he said, pointing at a shadow up head, "Because we have a guest."
It was Bl.An.C., AKA: Cooper Price, the scientist who developed and was trapped in his own creation. He was startled by Luke's presence and immediately readied his weapon at him.
"Query: What are you doing here, Blue Brawler? Stealing information?" His monotonous voice was clear, hinted with hostility.
"Why yes, I'm here to gather info on how to defeat you." As soon as Luke's words came out, barrage of cyan blasts flew at him. Luke managed to block them single-handedly with his TM. He was knocked down the floor, then raised his hand and waved like crazy. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean that! It's a joke! A bad joke, I know! But it's a joke! So please! I won't attack! Just stop!" His voice was frantic, stuttering at parts and his expressions...scared shitless. Hard to imagine that Lucario was a warrior.
"Query: What are you doing here then? Threat: Should you not answer, I'll be forced to take on drastic measures. And if you try to harm Alice, death will not suffice."
"I FREAKING KNOW! MY HANDS ARE UP!" Then he pointed at Alice, hoping that she would help. "Ask her! She knows why."
"He's telling the truth, Coop. At least, from what I could tell." Then Alice just shrugged.
"Ok ok...I'll give you the short version. In a nutshell, I was teleported to the desert, she saved me, and I'm about to leave. Does that sound plausible?"
"Clarification: But that didn't explain why you were here before," Cooper said.
"Wait, you WERE here before?" Alice was shocked by the revelation.
"Well...yes. BUT it's an accident! Like this one! It's a coincidence, I swear! My teleportation ability works randomly!" He slowly stood up, showing his lack of resistance as he was leaving. "Please...Can I leave?" He slowly stood up, showing his lack of resistance as he was leaving.
"Concurrence: Very well then. You may leave." His voice was as monotonous as ever, his weapons still locked onto Luke. But an idea crossed his mind.
"Query: Would you like a friendly battle? I want to see just how strong of a gladiator you are." His voice had a serious feeling to it now.
"Well, if you're fine with it." Luke felt relaxed now, his hands holding the back of his head.
"Affirmation: It's settled. The battlefield is the desert. You first." Then he pointed towards the elevator.
"Guess I'll go first. Remember to catch up quickly. Goodbye, Alice." He gave her a wink before exiting. There was an awkward silence because of his action, but it was quickly broken by Alice's question.
"Why did you challenge him, Cooper? It's a bit unusual for you."
"Response: I can feel that man's desire to be stronger and his pure intention. He can become a vital ally in the future. That's why I want to test him."
"I hope you know what you're doing, Cooper. For your sake. Promise me you'll stay safe." There was a long silence before he answered.
"Affirmation: Yes, I will." Then Bl.An.C.'s weapon disappeared as he was leaving the compound, heading into the battlefield. He looked back, his jade eye glowing, as if to get assurance, before entering the elevator.
"...Good luck." Alice whispered.

I liked both stories a lot. But I noticed you tend to use "And" and "But" at the beginning of sentences, which is why I voted for Error. And I bet you've also noticed I'm a filthy hypocrite.
EXAMPLE:
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" And a scream echoed across the vast, deserted desert.
Could be like this:
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" A scream echoed across the vast, deserted desert.
"Why certainly, follow me." And so Alice headed off, with Lucario right behind.

Both were quite good reads though.

Oh. Dang. Well, one more to take note of. Thanks, mate.

Hmmmmmmm.......HHHHMMMMMMMM!!!!! :confused:
First: These were both awesome! You two are awesome! Having to choose a winner is NOT awesome! :mad:
I have to give the win to....E-Blends on this one. For reasons which my thoughts are not together enough to adequately explain. I felt his writing was marginally better than yours Gamer.
Gamer: Your story seemed to be a bit awkward at times such as, when Coop willingly accepted your spar request after he was willing to destroy you for trespassing for the second time. Also, what did Lucas do the first time he was there? Was that explained or did I miss it? I enjoyed the ending but, I felt like Lucas' concern for Alice was random and just slightly thrown in for a sentimental moment. There were a tiny amount grammatical issues as well but that's nothing that a proof read can't fix! :D
ErrorBlender: I...don't have much for you. I wasted all my energy on Gamer, good job though. :o

There's a damn prologue. Looks like I forgot. XD And I'm still a new writer. But to be considered 'good' is enough to make me feel jolly inside.
PS: This story is related to Lucas's past. So...yeah. It's not released, so I understand.

Thanks for the feedback guys. :)

A crushing defeat. Dang.
Jul 10, 2013 2:28 PM #1030924
A defeat? Its just a spar. Not even a real battle, so we don't earn anything really. All we did is learn :)
EDIT :: Though I'd seriously like CnC for my work. :)
