(He drops the ring in shock and stares at
the now empty mirror.)
ASRIEN: That couldn't have been real, I
must have just been me hallucinating.
(He takes several deep breaths as he
calms himself down.)
ASRIEN: But, I have no reason to be
hallucinating..... so, that shit was real
(He puts the ring back on and looks at it
for some seconds before pointing it at the
mirror again and sees the hologram)
RING: Hello again, Asrien
ASRIEN: This is freaky shit! What...or who
are you??
RING: I am a hologram of the downloaded
consciousness of the last user of the ring
of flight, Rintriv. I am here to guide in your
journey to become the next user of the
ring of flight and leader of the Nova-5.
ASRIEN:WHAT IN THE FUCK!!!! Backup a
little bit, what do you mean ring of flight,
Nova-5, what the fuck are you saying?!
RINTRIV: Allow me to explain. The ring
that this image of myself is being
projected from is the ring of flight. One of
the Legendary Five Rings, the most
powerful weapons in the galaxy. They are
weapons of justice and come in times of
evil to bring hope and peace. For you to
hold this ring, it means you have been
chosen to be the next wielder, and leader
of the next team of heroes to wield the
mighty power of the rings; the Nova-5. Any questions before I go on?
ASRIEN: Hell yeah I have questions. First
of all, if they are so "mighty" how come
I've never heard of them?
RINTRIV:Well..
ASRIEN:(cuts him off) Secondly, even if
you are real, you really expect me of all
people to become the leader of this
"Nova-5" shit and save the world from
great evil? Lastly, but not the least, WHY
IN THE FUCK SHOULD I EVEN BELIEVE
THIS SHIT!!! For all I know, you are just
some AI interactive program from a
museum or something.
RINTRIV: If I may speak now, the rings
have been lost for a 1000 years so of
course you haven't heard of them. And I
am telling the truth and I can prove it.
ASRIEN:Alrighty then, prove it.
RINTRIV: I already am proving it.
ASRIEN:What do you... ow! What the..!
(Asrien exclaims as he realizes he's about
4 feet in the air, and he just hit his head on
the roof.)
ASRIEN: How in the fuck , how is this
happening?!(he exclaims)
RINTRIV: If I may, the ring on your finger
is the ring of flight, which means it levitates
ASRIEN: If this is really happening, then
what you are saying.... is real, isn't it?
RINTRIV: You must find the other rings
and save your world from the great evil approaching it.
ASRIEN: Considering that I'm floating,
what you are saying must be true. But I
can't do it
RINTRIV: You have no choice, you have
been chosen....
ASRIEN: Then choose someone else.
Everything you said spells danger all
through. And though I don't have much of
a life, I still don't want to loose it fighting a
battle, someone else could easily be better
of than me.
(He removes the ring and immediately falls
on the floor. He stands up and throws the
ring through the window.)
ASRIEN: I'm sorry, I'm just not the guy
you're looking for.
AUNT MAY:(From downstairs) Asrien,
you up there? Come help your uncle and I
prepare for dinner.
ASRIEN:Coming Aunt.
(Asrien rushes downstairs.)
(Light Fades)
(The next morning, Asrien meets up with
Peter on their way to school and starts to
tell him about the ring.)
ASRIEN: So you remember that ring that
we found yesterday.
PETER: Yeah, what about it?
ASRIEN: I was trying it on yesterday and
suddenly a holgram came out and told me
it was a ring of flight or something like
that. It said there were four others like it and that I'll have to find them and save the
world from some great evil.
PETER: HAHAHAHAH, bro did you drink
last night or smoke or something like
that?
ASRIEN: I'm not joking Peter. I'm certain of
what I saw last night and, in fact, I
levitated.
PETER: Now I'm definitely sure you took
something last night. As much as I like
fantasy stuff, you know flying isn't real
without technical help
ASRIEN: I'm being damn serious right now
yo!! I would have shown you but I threw it out the
window. But you have to trust me on this
one, I know what I saw.
PETER: Let's say I do believe you, my
major concern is this, you threw out the
ring?! I thought we agreed to check if we
could get money off of it and You just
threw it out?!
ASRIEN: Yeah I'm sorry, about that but I
just couldn't keep it with me after what I
heard and saw.
PETER: I just wish you would have told me
about it before deciding to throw it away.
ASRIEN: Anyway, how did it go with Lola?
PETER: Oh... Nothing much happened we
just did some math and that was it.
(He says with a small chuckle)
ASRIEN: Why the chuckle?
PETER: She asked me to come over again today.
ASRIEN: Just don't fuck up
(Checks his watch)
ASRIEN: Let's move faster so we aren't
late.
(In School,Chemistry class)
MR MICHAEL: Alright everyone, move to
your assigned lab partners and let's begin
the days work. Your lab partners names
are on the wall behind me, check it out
and pair up
PETER: Shit, I'm with Williams. What about
you Asrien.
ASRIEN: I'm with Serena
PETER: Isn't that great. You use this to ask
her out. Doubt she'll say yes though, but
its worth trying.
ASRIEN:You are a shitty friend you know?
PETER: Gotta go, but seriously, ask her
(Asrien goes to his seat next to Serena)
SERENA: Hi, you're Asrien right?
ASRIEN: Yeah
SERENA: Pleasure to be working with you
ASRIEN: Pleasures all...
(He stutters of as he sees what thinks to
be the ring that he threw out right in front
of him, spinning and glowing)
ASRIEN: What the fuck?!
Mr Micheal: Asrien, care to share what
you've been staring at for the past 5
minutes?!
Asrien: It was...(he says pointing in the
direction of the ring only to find out
nothing is there anymore). It was right there
Mr Micheal: Asrien, if you are going to be
a nuisance I suggest you leave my class.
Asrien:(in confusion) No....sir... It won't
happen again.
SERENA: You okay, you look like you've just
seen a ghost?
Asrien: I'm fine let's just get on with the class
okay?
Serena: Okay if you say so.
(Later in the day, during gym class)
Asrien: I'm telling you Peter, it was right
there floating and glowing in the air.
Peter: Let's talk later, right now I need to
focus on this dodgeball, okay?
Asrien: Alright
Coach: (blows whistle) Alright everyone to
respective teams. When I blow the
whistle, we begin. Ready! (blows whistle)
(Asrien, trys to focus but then he sees ring
again this time it's glowing even brighter
and coming straight at him. He stands
still and shocked until....)
Asrien: owww
Coach:(blows whistle) You are out Asrien.
Get your head in the game, you were
literally just standing there.
Asrien: What..... but..it was..... coach, I
need to freshen up
(Asrien rushes to the toilet to wash his
face)
Asrien: What is happening to me?!
Voice: The ring.
Asrien: Who's there, if it's Peter I'm not
amused.
Voice: You can't run from destiny.
Asrien: I said who the fuck is it?!
Voice:This is your destiny..
(Asrien runs out of the toilet muttering to
himself and runs all the way home)
(At His house)
Aunt May: Asrien what are you....
Asrien: Can't talk right now(he says, and
rushes up to his room)
(He looks at his bed and sure enough, the
ring is right there just glowing. He puts it
on, locks his door and brings up the
hologram.)
Asrien: What the fuck are you doing to
me.
RINTRIV: You can't run from your destiny.
You have been chosen. You have to
accept your destiny, accept the power and
save your world
(Light fades)
