There will be a Feedback Fourm so don't post here please!!! Thank you! -Till Life’s End- If you only had one chance at life what would you do? I know what you’re saying “I only have one life” but in this world, having one live is considered being poor. Always live your life to the fullest. Prologue “Hello and welcome to the fifth annually Death Match Games where you fight for more lives!” Those are probably the first words you’ll ever hear when you leave your parents to go live your life. Everyone wants more lives so go straight for the Death Drone. Here you can battle other people in order to win more lives. And these live allow you to come back to life after you die, sort of like in video games but no-one plays those anymore. Most of the time no-one has ever seen anyone else apart from their parents because no-one is allowed outside their houses. Food is given to them through teleportation and clothing and other stuff like that come the same way, through teleportation. So why do they go to the Death Drone you ask? Well because there is nothing else you can do. It’s survival of the fittest and so what can I do well a lot actually. Chapter 1- A new life. “OK. My first day in the Death Drone and I’m ready to climb to the top!” I said to Mum. “Be careful Mark.” Replied Mum “I will be Mum.” “Make sure you win son.” Added Dad “I won’t disappoint you Dad. You can be sure of that.” I replied. And with that I kissed them goodbye grabbed my bag and headed off. No-one is allowed to know where the Death Drone is in case anyone tries to rebel against the idea of the sport. Nervously I waited outside my house for the train to come. I had no idea how it would arrive as there were no train tracks but I waited anyway. About 3 minutes later and I was about to go back inside my house and forget about it, when suddenly a train charged down the street and a carriage door opened in front of me. I jumped on and waved goodbye to my parent for one last time from the train window as it slowly set off. It was strange as there was no one onboard but me, but I decided to wait it out. About % minuets in to the journey and everything went black. I’m not sure what happened but I think I was gassed so I couldn’t see where we were going. I woke up and looked around; the train was full of other contestants all sleeping. I must have woken up first.
Chapter 2-The Death Drone Ok so it wasn’t exactly pretty but it was HUGE! I had never seen the outside because you only get footage of the actual battles which take place inside so to see the actual size was something new. The battle arena one just one place itself as there were many other building come off from each side. In total I counted 12 buildings; the battle arena, 4 hubs (which were like areas where you were told if you were in an upcoming match) and 3 homes coming off each hub. When we finally got off the bus, we were taken to the east Hub where we were sorted in to our houses. On the way there I saw each type of building up close. The battle arena was by far the tallest with masive stone pillars on each side which reached atleast 30 feet. Spiraling up each pilar was ivy in various shades of grren and yellow. To me the battle arena quite resembled the Roman Colosseum although I have only seen it on the internet. Most of the walls had cracks in them and looked unsound nut the Death Drone has been runnig for years and hasn't colasped yet. Then I saw the hubs. These were considerably smaller than the battle arena but were still a good 15 feet tall. These ,however, were not made of stone. Instead they were made of reinforced steel which i guess is to keep all our "guests" inside. They were also much cleaner than the battle arena and almost made the battle arena look out of place. Finally I saw the houses. These reach about 24 feet tall which made it very spacious but that didn't take away from the fact that I could be living with 10 feet tall creatures. These ,just like the hubs, were made out of reinforced steel and were much cleaner than the battle arena. I quietly waited for my name to be called out. First the bottom house was called out: “Sue Hail, John Mange, Sheka Tajune and Emire Toha.” (I probably forgot to tell you this is the year 2371 and names have changed a bit.) 4 people went up to the podium. There was a Janite- these are tigers with human features like they stand on two feet, a Holan- these are quite ruthless humans from Australia and are known to pick a fight, a Kaliadite- these are part rock part bear creatures and like the Janite stand just like humans and finally there was just a normal human who I suspect was John Mange. Then the right house was called out and then the top house. By then it was just me and 3 other people. A Malkinae- these are essentially goblins but they are about 8ft tall and generally they are quite muscular (I’m only 5ft 8”), a Dakte- these are wizards (or witches if they’re female) who can look like anything or anyone and a Rashianal-these are part giant and part shark which means they can survive underwater for 24hrs. And there is me just an average human..... I'm toast!
Chapter 3-A new home and some new friends. I was put in the top house with 3 other people. I knew what they were but not who they were. So we all headed off to our new home, our cold hearted new home made of steel. No one said a word until we got there and the silence was unbearable. When we approached the house we all saw the size of it, even the Malkinae looked awe struck by the size. This malkinae was different to most malkini (plural). Instead of the usual 8ft tall he was an astounding 12ft tall, which did scare me a bit. As we entered we walked straight into the living room. This was extremely luxurious. It had special chairs which you could change the size of to suit what type of specie you were. The chairs were all a light cream colour and in front of them was a huge TV. Again this could be changed into different sizes dependant on what specie you are. There was a coffee table in the middle of the chairs and there was a selection of board games underneath (don’t ask why there is) and that was all there was to the lounge area. To the right was a massive kitchen area-they would be supplying us with the food- which had cookers and sink, fridges and microwaves and also a dishwasher. Once again all could change size. At the back there were 7 doors. 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a small closet with things like extra bed sheets and pillows. Above each door had a small electronic plaque like the ones which run across at the airport telling you when you flights are, but instead they had our names on them. Starting furthest right; was my room with “Mark Leonardo” above the door, to left of my door was a bathroom, then was the Malkinae’s room and above his door was “Esta Bonteen”, then there was the closet, then the Dakte’s room with “Sylvia Mages” above the door, another bathroom and finally the Rashianal’s room with “Zorna Seila” above the door. Now I knew who I was staying with I decided to put my thing in my room and then go talk to them. Allies are the best protection in the death drone and if I want to stop these mad games then I am going to need all the help I can get. I quickly put my stuff in my room; there was only a bed, wardrobe and a desk but it was enough for me, and headed but out into the lounge area where the rest were waiting. They were just having a quite conversation and looked up (or rather down) when I came in. “Hello” I said cheerfully “I’m Mark Leonardo. Who are you?” “I’m Esta Bonteen” said the Malkinae. “I’m Sylvia Mages” said the Dakte quietly. “And I’m Zorna Selia, nice to meet you” commented the Rashianal. “Nice to meet you all.” I replied. “So why did you all come here then?” I asked and it was Zorna who was first to reply. “I’m here to win the prize money at the end so that I can help my home race. Sadly the planet has been struck with a deadly virus and the money from this tournament with help to pay for a cure for the plague that roams my planet.” “I’m here to prove my strength to my father who thinks I’m weak. Ever since I was born wasn’t like the others. Never really want to fight to show my worth,” Stated Esta “did you know I have a special ability that no other malkinae has?” “Really?” me, Zorna and Sylvia exclaimed together. “I can change my size at will to a certain height. Between 5ft 2 and 12ft 7. Here I’ll change to 5ft 10.” And with that he started to shrink until he was just taller than me. “Incredible!” I said.”So Sylvia why are you here.” At first she didn’t reply, just sat there almost as if she was carefully wording her answer, but when she did say it shocked us all.
Chapter 4-Secrets of the Cursed "For generations, we Dakte have been breed to fight. Never have we not fought in the Death Drone, it is.... our custom if you will." she sighed. "You mean to say you have been brought up just to fight here in the Drone?" I ask. "Yes. It is the way of my people and I cannot change that. If I could i would have a long time ago." And with that she swiftly departed to her room and left us three to pour over her words. ........................................................................................................................... I had strange dreams that night, of my family, my new house mates but mostly of what my become of me in the Drone. I saw many out comes but one was so horrible it woke me several times. I was standing between three Mecha (huge robots, generally killer), and I was holding a huge staff at least 4ft long. This was made of some rare wood, a hybrid of birch and spruce, only found on Planet 5164:alpha/omega:C6B4 which was deemed to hostle to sustain life. They only go there perodically to get some of the wood as it has mystical powers. At the top of the staff was a gem called Amethystcitrine, now adays they are able to fuse gems to create power gems as they call them. This grantes the power of a super-jump or if falling, a super-slam. I tried to use this to destroy parts of the mecha but they were too fast and everytime I jumped to could easily move out the way. Eventually they defeated me and I was falling, quickly, till the ground grew into a sping tyrant of brown and green. It was all merging into one colour. Closer and closer I fell to the ground when the ground was almost beneath me....... Then I'd wake up. This happened many times in the night. I it became Increasingly worst. Each dream became shorter and shorter to where the point I just stayed awake, to afraid of falling asleep and seeing the horrific nightmare again. I glanced at my clock to see that is was 1:24am. The moon was waning and outside looked as if it was covered by a black canvas with tiny dots above it. I could only make out a few features. Some trees and hill but not much else. It was plain and hard to see but eventually my eyes adjusted to reveal a sight I'll never forget. Many emotions ran deep through my veins. Terror, anger, sadness, regret, symapthy. But I couldn't be ready for what came next. No-one could. To Be Continued In Summer 2013 GMT: Chapter 5-The Mystery Of The Forgotten Race
Social applications Hi this is metallica and i want to talk to you guys about social apps The fact that social apps are made to make people more social it result in anti effect which is to sit at home and chat/post pictures/or type random and useless status that no one cares about. What do You think about social apps? Do you really think they are social? -from my opinion i think social apps should be called anti-social apps As people may just sit hours and hours checking Facebook, instgram ,chat apps,Twitter and so on The fact that some people spend their intior day infront of pc or mobile just checking random people page and gets poked from people you really don't know and you end up not much of a social beast you just end up as a dude with lots of friends and. No real life , just a life on internet , and sometimes a fake life. So what do you think about social apps?
