《Peacekeepers (COMPLETE)》43
Advertisement
I run back and shoot at Reede as a jeep drives straight at him. He cleaves down at Bolt, but the jeep sends him flying. A woman gets out and throws a Molotov at him. Reede catches fire, screaming in a shrill tone. He runs on all fours, "Zero! do no let them leave!"
I get up, pointing my gun at her, "You wanna put down that gun sweetie? I'm here to evacuate the both of you." I lower it, "Fine, drive." She grabs her radio as I drag Bolt up into the back seat, "Norbert! You ready?"
*Start it up?* She sets down a whiskey bottle before hopping in, "Yeah, now." She starts up the car and stomps on the gas, "Who are you?" She peers in the rearview, "We got company!" I look back and it isn't a car. A beast on all fours stomps through the swerving cars.
"It's gaining fast! How far?" She makes a sharp turn and the creature flies straight past. "Not far at all!" She makes another turn and we come upon a long road with train tracks. A train's coming fast, whistling in the distance,
*I'm almost there! Keep driving!*
The creature hops down, cracking the pavement behind us. I yell up to her, "No way we're getting on a bullet train!" She laughs as a train with a small moving crane crashes through a barricade before slowing down. Someone's in the crane.
*Get your heads down!* The crane drops and rips through the windows. The woman yells, "Why didn't you use a magnet!?"
*It'd take too long!*
The creature grabs hold and drags us back on the ground, "Shit! Tango! Get him!" Some kind of black hook comes through the back window, trying to claw at me.

*Hold on, I got it!*
He takes out a flare gun, covering one ear before firing at him. With a shrill scream, it lets go as we get pulled up. Norbert waves with a smile, *Close call!* He moves us over a platform and drops us slowly. We get out as the burning creature screams, charging towards us, gaining fast.
Norbert smiles as he grabbed a tablet and waved to it. He waits as the woman yelled, "Do it already!"
"It's fine, trust me!" About twenty feet away, he presses a button and waves, "So long, sucker!" He grabs his knees and laughs while pointing at it. It started going faster, "Shit, shit!" He runs as it leaps, swiping a large hook at him. We laugh as Norbert and the creature tumbled forward. He clenches his heart and breathes heavily.

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10
New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away
