Project Madness
Sound of the Madness
(mature story warning)
Bolé city, on the island of Qwerty, where highways cover almost all of the cities air and ground, there was a man who went by the name Dewy. He was a treasure hunter that had moved here at the age of 18 with amnesia. He had no idea who he really was, or where he came from. He made friends with a guy who went by the name Kyle Dale, age 21. Kyle was known for causing trouble, and for never using his real name. Dewy also met Lucky, age 21, an Irish man from Ireland who knew the value of all stolen and historic goods. He also wrote a lot of Irish phrases on his basement walls that no one could read or understand. The police of the city had flyers all over the town, they hated Dewy with passion. The world knew nothing of the small island of Qwerty, but they would soon know its power.
On a hot summer day, in the year 2053, Dewy was in the city’s history museum. He was just taking a look around, not meaning to take any valuables, but then the police came charging in and surrounded him.
“Put your hands behind your head, and get down on your knees!” said the Police. Dewy did what police said and got down on his knees.
“Officers, this is a bad idea, and you know that!” Dewy was not a normal man, he had special powers. What some Star Wars fans would call the ‘force’ is what Dewy had.
“Shut up” said the police chief. Dewy saw a sword and a pistol in the distance. He read the signs out loud.
“Magical sword of destiny, unlimited power of silence.” Dewy had a smirk on his face.
“What?” said another officer.
Dewy opened his right hand and flicked it around his head. Then the sword broke through the glass, and spun around Dewy killing the officers. Dewy stood up and ran for a window as he put his hand out, and the silenced pistol came into his hand. He picked up a sheath for the sword and a holder for the gun. Dewy got away and was of the radar for a couple of weeks.
Two years later, on Dewy’s 20th birthday, he was back at the museum. On Qwerty island you can carry weapons with you, so Dewy had both the sword, and silenced pistol. Dewy walked past all the guards, and made it to the 12th floor of the museum He called Kyle to see where the treasure he was looking for was hidden.
“Hey, Dewy my man! How’s it goin’? Find the treasure yet?”
“No, that’s why I called you. I’m on the 12th floor, so where is it?”
“Wow, dude, it is in the middle of the room covered with a black sheet. The only thing there.”
“Shut up… I knew that.” Dewy put his phone away as he walked over to the sheet and pulled it off the case.
“Wow!” Dewy Whispered and looked around the room. He lifted the glass and put the diamond in his treasure bag.
“That was too easy.” Dewy turned around and an alarm went off.
There was a window and a taller building on the other side. He jumped out the window and slid down the other building. He jumped back and forth between the two buildings until he reached the bottom. Dewy ran into the street where a highway was overhead. He saw a motorcycle with the key still in the ignition. As Dewy hopped on and started it up, he got five feet, and then is immediately surrounded by police on both sides of the street, and helicopters were everywhere in the sky.
“Hands behind your head! Down to the ground, now!!” said the officer.
“Here we go again.” Dewy did what they told him to do. They had their guns out and pointed on Dewy. Two officers ran over to Dewy and took his gun and sword.
“These are some nice weapons.” said the first officer.
“Yea, I love this sword.” said the second officer. He was slashing it in the air. “I think I’m getting the hang of the-” The officer fell off as the sword stabbed him in the stomach.
“You idiot!” said the first officer to the second officer. Dewy quickly grabbed the sword, and his pistol from the first officer. Dewy shoot all the officers, only missing one that was running away.
Dewy jumped over the police cars and ran down the street as the helicopters followed him. He dodged the bullets coming from the helicopters and climbed a fence. Then Dewy landed on a ledge of a building and jumped, landing the upper highway. Dewy kept running but an APC was in his way. It fired at Dewy as he tried to run the other way but flew forward by the blast and was now lying at the edge of the highway as the tank crept closer.
“Hey! Hurry up!” Kyle was sitting in a convertible below. Dewy got up and jumped on top of a building. He jumped and grabbed a flag pole and slid down as Kyle hit the gas as. Dewy jumped into the back seat and started shooting at the helicopters.
“I wish I had a plane!” said Dewy. Kyle laughed and sped up. They got to Lucky’s hideout and turned into an alley. The secret door could only open by pulling it open by a hairline crack. They got inside and closed it up.
“How’s it goin’ Lucky?!” Kyle said with a smirk on his face
“Great, better than last time.” Lucky laughed.
“We need you to tell us how much this diamond is.” Dewy handed Lucky the diamond as explosions went off outside as Lucky determined the price.
“Amazing this building is still standing.” Lucky was the only one who laughed.
“So? How much is it?” said Dewy.
The building shook as Lucky spoke, “Well, it is no more than 1 million, but no less than $9,999,999.99 cents!”
“Great!” said Dewy. He grabbed Lucky’s arm and they ran out the front door of the building. Smoke was in the air and explosions were everywhere.
“We need to get out of here! Isn’t there a hover board store around here?” said Kyle. Across the street was a store, and in the window were three hover boards.
They broke the glass and took the hover boards. They flew up in the sky above the clouds. They did not know where they were going, but it was peaceful. Some fire balls made it up towards them but it was quiet. They would do flips and dive down and back up. A couple of minutes later they decided to go down to the ground and get a break. They came down and saw this town.
“Wow, where are we?” said Dewy. They passed a post office, and then slowed passed a store.
“Shur-fine Market, never heard of it.” said Lucky. They stopped in front of an elementary school. They left their hover boards next to a tree.
“Look, Stewartstown Elementary School. We must be in… Stewartstown!” said Dewy. They looked around.
“Where is Stewartstown?” said Kyle.
“I don’t know, but it sure does sound familiar.” said Dewy.
“Hey! Our boards! Where’d they go!” said Lucky. They looked around but couldn’t find them.
“Huh…” said Dewy. There was a high-pitched noise and a plane flew through the clouds. Dewy, Kyle and Lucky ran out-of-the-way. It hit the ground and slid into the tree.
“You hear that?” said Dewy.
They walked over to the plane and listened to the radio. “Woo-hoo, yea boys this all you got?!” said the voice.
“Who’s there, I demand to know, are you an US pilot? Answer me boy!” said another voice.
“2 down, more to go, woo-ha-ha!” said the voice.
In the distance another plane came down and there was a bigger explosion. They ran over to see what exploded. They got over to the huge fire-ball, and saw it was a bus station. They ran towards Main Street when the ground began to rumble. A huge tank rumbled by and aimed at Dewy.
“Shit! Run!!” screamed Dewy.
It was a laser tank, it charged as they ran for their lives. It fired and destroyed the ground where it hit. Dewy reached for his gun, but it was gone. They ran down a hill and sidled against the wall.
“Stay here, I’ll try to get rid of the tank.”
Dewy ran up the hill and back to Main Street. He ran behind the tank and got out his sword. He jumped on the tank and got in front of it. Dewy ran under the tank and slid. He put his sword up and cut the bottom of the tank open. Oil and other fluids spilled on the ground. The tank halted next to the gas station. Dewy had a great idea, but needed fire. A guy on the side of the street was about to light a cigar, but appeared to be in shock at what he had seen. Dewy took the lighter, and gave him $20. The man ran inside and locked his door. Dewy lit the lighter and dropped it on the oil.
The oil ignited and the fire rushed towards the tank. It blew up along with the gas station. Dewy turned around and saw a plane park in front of the post office.
“Hey!” said Dewy. A man jumped out of the cockpit and waved. “That-was-awesome!” said the pilot. He walked past Dewy towards a house.
“Hey! I wasn’t finished talking to you!!” said Dewy. The pilot stopped. “You never started.” said the pilot. He started walking again and threw the keys to Dewy.
“Thank you?” said Dewy. The pilot walked into the house, as Dewy jumped into the plane.
“Now this is more like it!” He started the plane and headed down the street. He lifted off the ground and flew up above the clouds.
“Holy…. Cow!” There were more than 20 armed planes flying at him. Dewy went full throttle towards the advancing planes. Dewy shot all the planes down, and did not miss a one.
“Aw, dude I don’t have a parachute! No!” He was hit by a stealth plane from behind. He started heading towards the ground and made a last-minute decision. He jumped out of the cockpit, and into the trees right before the plane crashed.
Dewy caught his breath and slid to the bottom of the tree. He stepped on something hard and saw a box of ammunition, and a rifle.
“Nice!” Dewy packed the rifle full of ammo, and took some extras. There were soldiers everywhere, and Dewy either shot, or stabbed them. When he made it back to the post office, there was a fire fight over at the school.
“What?” He ran towards the school and saw Lucky and Kyle on their hover boards shooting at the soldiers.
“Dewy!” screamed Kyle.
“Dewy! We have you’re board!” screamed Lucky. They flew over Dewy, dropping his hover board at his feet. Dewy got on and caught up to Lucky and Kyle.
“What were you two doing?” said Dewy.
Lucky started to say something but Kyle cut him off. “WE were stalling for you. Just in case.” said Kyle.
Dewy looked at Lucky, “What did you two REALLY do?” said Dewy. “Well-” started Lucky. All of the sudden there was a huge explosion. Dewy looked back and saw the town was in ruin and flames.
“Kyle! You idiot!! What the hell were you thinking!!! There were civilians!” yelled Dewy.
“Don’t yell at me! I was trying to help!!”
“Help! You don’t know what HELP is!!” said Dewy.
“Help!” said a faint voice.
“Hey! Shut up! Did you hear that?” said Lucky.
“Help!” said the faint voice again.
“I heard it.” said Dewy and Kyle.
“Let’s check it out!” said Dewy. They flew down to the ground, and saw a girl sitting on the side of the road.
“Hey! Are you ok?” said Dewy.
“Yea…My names Rose.” said Rose. She stood up and smiled.
“My names Dewy and this is Lucky, and Kyle.”
“Nice to meet you all!”
“We are in a hurry, and there are angry soldiers everywhere, you should come with us.” said Dewy. Rose got on the hover board with Dewy and they all flew off into the sky. They made it half way up to where they were before, when there was a gun shot.
“Kyle, did you hear that?” said Dewy.
“Kyle!” screamed Lucky. They all looked behind them as Kyle stood there in silence. A sniper shot him in the chest. Kyle grabbed his chest and said one last word.
“Lark…” said Kyle in a whisper. He fell towards the earth and through the clouds.
“Kyle!!!!!” Screamed Dewy.
“Let’s go, hurry!” said Lucky. They sped off fling to the one place that they thought would be safe, Australia.
The End
Dewy, Lucky and Rose made it to Australia. Kyle was never heard of again. When soldiers got to where Kyle’s body imprint was, he was gone. All that was left was his hover board. The other three sold the diamond for $1,000,000.01; Lucky quit treasure telling after that just because he was off by one cent. In 2022, Dewy and Rose got married. They used the million dollars for the wedding, and for their new hover board training facility on the beach, called ‘Kyle Dales’ Wings. Dewy, Rose, and Lucky lived happily for 8 years. In 2030, Dewy died in a freak accident and Lucky disappeared. One month later Rose drove off a cliff. Some say Lucky ran away to Ireland, where you can still hear Lucky saying ‘Please forgive me’, in Irish. Kyle’s last word was ‘lark’, but what could he have meant?
