John Doe: Project Ultimate [2]
|
On the next day, a Saturday, John was awoken by the soft computer voice. “Good morning, John,” It said.
“Ugh, couldn’t you have given me a few more minutes? It’s Saturday!” John complained.
“I apologize, but I require something of you,” The computer replied.
“Are you going to tell me the answers to my questions?” John asked.
“As I stated yesterday, that information is classified,” The computer answered.
“Then I’m not doing anything you say,” John replied. “Not until I find out who I am and what I’m doing here.”
“I believe it would be in your best interest to obey this request. We seem to a have a food shortage, so you need to collect money at the bank,” The computer said. “Otherwise, you will starve to death.”
“What about the Attero Corporation? On the first day we met, you said they’d be taking care of me, whoever THEY are,” John replied.
“I did not say they would feed you. I said they would fund you. However, the money they give is stored in the bank down the street, not here. You must collect this money and pay for your own goods.”
“So, how do I collect the money?” John asked.
“Simple. Go to the bank and approach a man named ‘Mr. Davis’. Say to him ‘Project Ultimate, $150’ and show the man your golden wrist bands. He will give you green rectangular sheets of paper with numbers on them. These papers are money. After you get the money, return to the house and I shall give you further instructions,” The computer explained to him.
“Okay then,” John said. He jumped out of bed and slipped on the clothes that the computer had prepared for him. He had a pair of black slacks, a blue undershirt, and a red over coat. “By the way, do you have a name of any sort? It’s awkward talking to someone without a name.”
“A name? … … … … … I am the Directing Attero Corporation Computer, model 15.13 vA seriesY. DACC15.13AY. That is my name,” The computer answered.
“I don’t like that. Hmmm… How about I call you ‘Dacomay’? It’s a lot nicer than DACC15.13AY,” John replied.
“Very well. Now, go,” Dacomay commanded.
After getting ready, John left the house and headed for the bank on his bike. He entered the large building labeled ‘Chase’, and sure enough, a man with a name tag that read ‘Mr. Davis’ was sitting behind one of the counters. John approached the man and said, “Project Ultimate, $150.” He then showed the man his golden wrist bands.
“Ah, you must be John Doe. I thought you’d be… older. Oh well, the Attero Corp has been doing a lot of crazy shit lately. I’ll get your money, sir,” Mr. Davis said.
What’s that supposed to mean? What IS the Attero Corporation? John asked in his head. However, his thoughts were interrupted by gun shots; 3, to be precise. John spun around and saw 3 men dead on the floor, lying in pools of blood. At the entrance of the bank, a teenager in a completely black uniform and mask was holding a gun. He looked like he was 17 or 18, only a year or 2 older than John.
“Everyone up against the wall!” The shooter demanded. People began screaming and they all lined up against the wall. Everyone accept for John. “That includes you, Shorty!”
Suddenly, a nerve in John’s brain snapped. “Did you just give me an order?” He asked in a monotone.
“Yeah, I did. Up against the wall, kid!” The shooter exclaimed, aiming his gun at John’s chest and getting ready to fire.
“I don’t take orders from inferior life forms such as yourself,” John replied.
“How DARE you?!? I’M the one with the gun!” The shooter said. He pulled the trigger, and in an instant, John was dead on the floor in a pool of blood. Everyone in the room was appalled by the shooter’s brutality. “Let that be a warning to all of you! Now, I want all the money!”
Suddenly, the hole in John’s chest began to heal! The blood evaporated, and soon he looked more asleep than dead. Finally, he opened his eyes. However, something was different about them: They were glowing blood red. John stood up with a look of rage on his face. The bands of gold on his wrists flashed and then fell off his arms. Every vain in his body bulged and every loose object within a yard of him was pushed away. The air around him seemed to writhe in pain and agony. John laughed maniacally as seemingly infinite power flowed through him. “FOOLISH MORTAL!!!” He yelled. He slowly and ominously walked towards the shooter.
“Holy shit! What the hell is going on?!?” the shooter asked as he fired more bullets at John. Each bullet hit and fell to the floor shortly afterwards. With every shot, the air seemed to writhe even more, and a faint red aura of light began to form around John’s body.
Once John was close enough, he punched the shooter in the gut, sending him crashing into the wall behind him. The shooter grabbed his gun, scrambled to his feet, and started rapid firing at John. John was hit everywhere, from his head all the way down to his heel. Each bullet only brightened the red aura of light. John walked to the shooter, grabbed his neck, and lifted him into the air. “Now, you foolish mortal, you will die,” John said. By now, he was completely hidden by the red light. All of the light migrated to the hand that was holding the shooter by the neck, and then blasted out in all directions, consuming everything in the way. The explosion stopped just before harming one of the people against the wall.
As the smoke from the blast faded, only John could be seen left standing. The shooter and anything that had vanished in the blast were now gone. The roof, walls, and floor around John had been charred. He returned to his original spot and the golden wrist bands returned to their place on his wrists. His eyes returned to normal, his veins no longer bulged, and the air calmed down. Just then, Mr. Davis returned with $150. “Here’s your money, sir,” He said.
“Thanks! Uh, do you know what just happened?” John asked. All he’d remembered was seeing the shooter point the gun at him. Mr. Davis just shrugged and gave John the money. John took it and returned to the house.
