Till next time,
Lord signing off

Parallel Universe 1:
“Hey kid get up! Come-on!” A grizzled man's voice whispered.
“Hello! Where am I good sir?” I asked as I got up, and rubbed my eyes.
“Where are you? Boy you're right in its nest. We need to get out of here, then we can talk.” The man said as he pulled me up, and we started walking out of wherever we were.
I wonder if we are in a nest of a being that's made of metal, because we are completely surrounded by a scrap metal and circuitry
nest of sorts. Twisted rebar everywhere, bent siding strutting out every few feet. From what I can see, it looks like a great summer vacation spot.
After a few more meters we finally found the exit. I must say, the first universe I landed in was a great one. Sunny beaches as far as the eye can see, beautiful girls with drinks in hand. All in all a wonderful place if you loved the smell of oil, and death.
Actually the place was red, and the sun was exceptionally strong. God I hate it when reality buts in, and destroys a wonderful hallucination. To tell the truth the place was a barren wasteland. I'm one lucky bastard aren't I.
After a few more minutes, we reached the old guys automobile. Damn thing looked like it was straight outta m@d m@x. Damn thing looked like it could barely run.

“Come on boy! We ain't got much time before it wakes up.” The Old Coot whispered to me as he got behind the steering wheel.
“Ok so what's this thing you’re saying is going to get us?” I asked him.
“Boy what rock have you been living under? Have you not seen the Kact’ur? The giant metal spiders?” He asked me.
“It just had to be spiders. Well this sucks…” I said sadly as the old man drove us away from the hell-beings den.
After a quiet day's drive, we arrived at a high tech facility in a forested area. Just one look told me that it was meant to be entirely self-sufficient. It also looked super awesome! It had what looked like EMP, and Rail gun turrets. Sadly, it was surrounded by the corpses of destroyed hell beings. I really despise spiders…
“So now that we are almost to safety, what can you tell me about your world?” I asked the old coot.
“My world? Boy what are you talking about? This is your world too.” The old man said as we pulled into the dark garage.
“Stay right there boy!” A girl's voice called out.
Once my eyes got adjusted to the darkness I could see that I was surrounded by people, and had some interesting looking weapons pointed at me. Safe to say, I immediately put my hands up as high as I could.
“Well ain't this a nice welcome. I know that I'm really hot, but to rape me at gun point is just plain wrong.” I said jokingly.
“Boy are you just plain crazy, or are you an idiot?” The girl asked me.
“I'm fairly sure that it's both. My name is James, may I ask for the names of my rapists/kidnappers?” I asked calmly as I was pulled from the car (if you can call it that anymore).
“Enough with that 'rapist’ thing. My name is Xodius, and you won't be alive long enough to need anybody else's name. You're going to be dissected to find out how you survived in its nest without being killed, and why you're part machine.” The girl said as her goons dragged me away.
“Listen fellas I'm not from around here, and so I don't know the proper etiquette for situations like this. So how about a trade? Knowledge for 2 days of freedom? How does that sound?” I asked them calmly.
“Shut up, and keep walking.” The stupider one said.
“No deal? Then I guess I have no choice. Sorry about this guys.” I said as I activated 'Joybuzzer’. (For those that don't know Joybuzzer is a cybernetic modification that utilizes a built-in hand taser that delivers a couple hundred- thousand volts from a built-in battery directly to the hand. Sadly it only has enough battery charge for 5 uses, and needs to be recharged afterwards.)
With the henchmen disposed of for the moment, I got to work on finding a plug to recharge the Joybuzzer. After a few minutes I found one. Sadly it was in the room of the girl that sentenced me to dissection. Also on a bad note she was still there, and changing her clothes.
In other words I had to make her quiet, so I utilized my trusty Joybuzzer to knock her the hell out, before she could scream. I know it looks bad, but I swear it's required for me to survive till I leave in about 24 hours.
“Boss are you done changing yet?” A man's voice called from the outside of the door.
“Sorry but your Boss is indisposed at the moment. Also if you come in here then I'll have to kill her. So I will need your cooperation if you wish to see her unharmed.” I called out as I held her unconscious body in front of me.
“You're dead meat.” The guy said as he opened the door anyways.
“Well I think that I've intruded long enough. Sorry, but I'm out. Activate emergency transport!” I screamed as the guy pulled a weapon on me, and then I immediately passed out...
