The War On Infogrames
Part Two: Echoes of History
Chapter One
It had been three days since the destruction of
Infogrames Headquarters. Anonymous Benefactor had once again set up a
meeting with his agents. Strangely enough, he knew of Black16 and his
hidden agenda, but wouldn't reveal much at the meeting.
Gojira64 didn't know what to think. Ever since that fateful day, his mind
had been wandering. Should the other agents trust the entity? And
why did Dragitron keep staring at Black16's eyes? These questions and more
swirled through G64's head.
Fortunately, his daydream didn't last long. Guy Wearing Black knocked on
G64's door. They were all on a cruise ship heading for the South Pacific,
where Bill Gates' secret base lay hidden. Each agent had been given his
own quarters, and GWB wanted nothing more than to get out of his confined space.
G64 opened the door. He looked at GWB and laughed. "Look at
you!" he said. "You're drunk off your ass, GWB!"
Indeed he was. GWB's entire body swayed back and forth, seemingly ready to
fall over. G64 propped GWB on his shoulder and brought him over to the
bed. He opened the porthole, but he wasn't in time.
Guy Wearing Black threw up all over the bed. "Sorry, man," he
slurred. "Let me get that for you." Then GWB fell
backwards onto the bed and went right to sleep.
Gojira64 just sighed. "It's gonna be one of those days."
-----------------------------------
Dragitron stared into his whiskey.
No matter how hard he tried, the vision would not dissipate. He could
still see those evil eyes glaring at him. Even in his sleep, he couldn't
shake the feeling that he was being watched.
Without warning, Black16 appeared in front of him. "Shouldn't you be
worried more about the mission than your past?" the being asked.
Dragitron continued to stare at his drink, but replied anyway. "I
don't listen to people I don't trust. Maybe if you told me who you really
are, I'd be a little less uneasy."
Black16 put his three-fingered hand on Dragitron's shoulder. "I mean
you no harm, great warrior. I know of your haunted past. The answers
you seek will be revealed to you shortly. It will come to you in
time." Dragitron jumped from his seat without warning.
"Time!?" he shouted. "Time!? I've spent the last
fifteen years of my life waiting to find my father's killer! Instead, you
appear, and I can't shake the feeling that you were there when it all
happened."
Black16 stared at Dragitron, hoping to calm
him down. Drag stared back for a moment. "You WERE there,
weren't you?" he asked. Black16 turned away. "I ... can't
tell you anything now. Like I said before, all will be revealed on the
island. Gather your strength. You'll need it." Then
Black16 disappeared through the door.
Drag continued to shout. "Damn
you, tell me what you know! Those eyes... those unspeakable eyes!
You have them! Tell me what you know!" Then he slumped down
into a corner of the room and began to weep.
