It was a rather abnormal day at Alex West's
house. There was a massive thunderstorm watch and his mom was getting
the entire house ready for any natural disaster possible.
"Hey, mom," Alex said as he walked down
to the basement, "Whatcha' doing?"
"I'm preparing this house in case a lava wave
bursts out of the floor and starts to flood the basement," Alex's
mom said, "The bar at the top of the stairs should keep it from going too
far."
"Uh, sure mom, what ever you say."
Alex passed through the kitchen and headed
for his bedroom, where his friend Joss was staying for a couple weeks.
He knocked on the door and waited. A couple seconds later, Joss opened
the door and asked Alex, "Whatcha' want?"
"Oh, nothing much, just my CD player and my
discs."
"Sure, hold on a second."
As soon as Alex got his CD player, he headed
for the office, where he was staying while Joss was there. He popped
a good disc in his CD player, turned it on, and reclined on his bed.
He turned on the tv and flipped through the channels. Playboy, Penthouse,
Hustler, Spice, Cartoon, and many other channels he flipped past.
He finally decided to stay on the 'Ultra Gore Sci - Fi network' - All gore,
all the time. Alex began to get into the movie so much that he ended
up in it.
Alex looked around, trying to make heads or
tails of his situation. He finally spotted his friends Dan
Jensen, Steve Huff, and Tod Whipple in there with him. Steve walked
toward Alex and asked, "What movie is this?"
"I think it's called," Alex said, "'Freddy
Kruger meets Jason: Showdown on Halloween with the Alien and the Leviathan'.
Ultra gory movie."
"So how do we get out of here?" Dan
asked.
"Well, we have to survive the movie.
It's that simple."
"About as simple as explaining computers to
an old man." Tod said, "We need weapons to protect us from those
monsters."
"Apparently you've forgotten our gifts!"
Alex said.
"Oh, yeah, our powers!" Steve said,
"Let's kick some ass!"
With that, they took off through the movie.
Alex started blasting everything in sight with his psionic shuriken and
the Phoenix's powers. Dan, Steve, and Tod used their powers to clean
up anything Alex missed.
About two hours later, they completed the
movie. They saw an exit portal opening in front of them, but also
saw the Leviathan moving in to block their escape. Alex told Steve
to blast it with his power beams. Steve did that and the monster
exploded into a mass of blood and guts. The group ran for the portal
and jumped through. What happened after that was totally unexpected.
"Hey, guys, what's up?" Joss asked as
the group appeared.
"Well, we just survived a massive monster
attack!" Dan said, "What's happened around here while we were gone?"
"Yeah," Alex said, "What happened?"
"Oh, nothing much. The storm passed.
That's it."
"Cool!" Steve said, "But right now I
need a rest."
"We all do!" Tod said, "We all do."
They all decided to watch the Hustler channel
for the rest of the afternoon.
