Trouble With The Law

Rex Lopiz -

5/29/25 3:05am

As I drove towards the town I got tired, I needed to rest before continuing, why did I not sleep before leaving?

Oh yeah because I forgot what time it was.

I was also too excited after seeing Private HS1. . .

Yeah I'm stupid.

I kept driving and saw a rest station that truckers use and pull in there, I parked near the forested area as I turned the truck off.

"Private!' I said in a quiet voice to avoid waking the other people who were resting.

"Yes sir?" the private asked.

"Your on Guard duty I need some rest" I said as I laid on the not so comfy seats.

"Yes sir!" he shouted.

"shhhhh people are sleeping here!" I yelled in a whisper.

"oh, alright sir." he responded in a robotic whisper.

I rolled the windows up as I drifted to sleep.

5/29/25 7:01am

voices were talking, they were muffled but there were definitely voices.

I tried to listen to what the voices were saying.

"What the hell is this thing?" a male voice said.

"I don't know. That's why we are here Greg" a different voice said.

"I am Private HS1" a robotic voice said.

"Oh look it speaks Jack. . . . .it freaking speaks!" Greg screamed in a high pitched voice.

"Woah! god damn it Greg don't scream!" Jack yelled back.

All I heard was a whack sound.

"OW! What was that for Jack?' Greg asked in a painful voice.

"That was for screaming." Jack responded.

"What are you two doing?" the private asked.

"Alright tin boy you stay quiet" Jack said in a rude tone.

"Oh, alright" the private said sadly.

"Jack, look what you did. You made it sad" Greg said.

"It's alright buddy. don't mind Jack he is cranky he did not have his coffee yet." Greg said with a chuckle.

"Shut up Greg!" Jack responded in a yell.

I realized that the private is a living robot, an intelligent one at that.

I got up and opened my door as I jumped out of the truck, as I Landed I closed the door.

"Woah Jack look at him he just leaped out of his truck" Greg said mind blown away.

as I looked towards the voice I saw two state troopers who were now looking at me.

"Can I help you officers?" I asked in a nice tone.

"Yeah....W....What is this?" trooper Greg asked while pointing to the robot who was now looking at me.

I looked between the three of them.

"Private" I said while looking at the two troopers.

"Yes Sir!' the private said and stood to his feet while saluting.

The two troopers looked dumbstruck as they looked at the 6ft robot who was now saluting while facing me.

"Introduce yourself to these gentlemen" I said with a smile.

The two troopers looked at me then looked back to the robot who was now stepping off the back of the truck.

The private stopped when it stood next to me and then began to speak.

"Hello, I am a Heavy Soldier Bot A1, my name is Private HS1" the private said.

I facepalmed as I should have told him to just say his name.

The two troopers looked to me and looked back to the bot.

"Did you just say soldier bot?" Jack asked.

Before I could answer the private spoke.

"Yes, My purpose is to Fight for my commander till I can't no more" the private said proudly.

The Trooper raised his radio to his mouth.

"Wait!" I yelled and the officer began to speak into the radio.

"This is trooper Jack We need bac--"

I tackled the trooper.

The other trooper went for his gun.

"PRIVATE . . . HELP!"

The bot did not hesitate as he Leaped at the other trooper, before he could react to the sudden movement to the private he was knocked down to his back,

The Privates backpack opened as he reached for his pack he pulled out the wood axe and was about to swing it down.

"WAIT!" I shouted.

The private's axe was mere inches away from entering the trooper's neck.

"Yes sir?" The private asked.

"only disarm and make sure they don't call for help" i said while trying to keep trooper Jack pinned.

"Roger," the private said.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU!" Greg shouted as the axe in the private hand went back into the backpack.

"I'm just a normal person." I said.

"Bullshit you are." Greg said.

The private picked up Greg and ripped off his radio and took his pistol out of his hand and a holster appeared on the right side of the private’s body.

"What the Hell!" said the three of us, confused.

We all three looked at the private and he looked at me and said.

"It's mandatory to have a holster for secondaries." the private said as if it was normal to have a metal holster appear.

"If you can transform more mind as well, do it now." I said while chuckling.

"Alright sir." He said.

I looked at the private as his body begun to change, his chest began to change design, replacing his bulky appearance was now a Military vest, having metal gaps where he can place magazines for his guns, his legs now had military leg armor, he looked like a modern soldier with all of the equipment, Just with a uniform made out of metal and more bulky for taking damage.

His helmet being the same, besides having ballistics goggle, while his hand had metal gloves he also wore body armor under his vest, He was now officially a soldier.

"Ok that was badass." Greg said .

"Yeah I never knew of this." I said honestly.

The private tossed Greg into the back of the truck and walked over to me, he took Jack's radio and pistol off of him as well and this time handed it to me it.

I took the handgun and saw that it was the same as Greg's they were Glock 22's.

"Private, what is this?" I asked while looking at him.

"Battle Mode sir, Meant for when I enter combat." he replied.

"Alright enter back into the other mode but keep the holster." I said back to the private.

"You mean normal mode?" he asked.

"Yes, normal mode, but if we get into a fight, enter Battle mode from the start" I said back.

"Yes sir." he replied .

I got off trooper Jack as private picked him up and threw him next to Greg, the private then removed all clips of ammo on the troopers, he then placed the clips in his holster on his side where his pistol laid, there was some metal slots where he can place the clips, which he did there was 3 slots which now are full.

He then handed me 2 clips while he checked his Glock 22, he made sure it was loaded before loading a full mag inside, the private then aimed at the troopers.

I took the three mags and placed two inside of my pockets, I checked my Glock to make sure it was loaded, it was not, I then loaded the Glock with live ammo as I placed the pistol into the side of my pants.

"Trooper Jack, Respond what's the situation?" The radio Jack had said.

I threw the radios on the ground.

"I was just trying to sleep before you two had to come and ruin my sleep." I said with a rude tone.

"We had a call about a strange machine in the back of a truck, we came to check it out such we were nearby, so we got dispatched." Jack said while looking at Greg, who was injured from being thrown.

I looked at Greg who was now wincing in pain .

"Private next time throw him gently." I said feeling bad for the poor guy.

"Roger that sir" the private said without pointing his Glock away.

"Give us your car keys." I said to the troopers.

"Nope, not happening." Jack said .

"Private, get the keys from him." I said to the private.

"Sir, point your gun at them, I will get us into the car." the private said .

I drew my Glock as the private walked over to the trooper's car, as I looked at the private I saw him swing his fist into the driver door window and smashed it.

Jack began to laugh as he watched the window break.

I looked at him then realized that it was a police car that he just busted into, in 2024 all police cars had silent alarms installed in case the officer was under attack, or the officer crashed so they could find them easier.

The cars also had trackers, which showed where the car was at all times.

"Private find their main guns, also grab as much ammo as possible, check the trunk as well we got to leave now!" I shouted while pointing the gun at them, then the radios began to make noise.

"All units be advised we have a code 3 at trooper 63 position" the dispatch lady said.

"10-4 trooper 79 is 10-76" A male voice said.

"10-4 trooper 109 is 10-76" A female voice responded.

The private pulled out of the car and walked to the trunk, then ripped the trunk off, he then punched into the trunk, he turned and shook his head.

"Um, we actually don't have anything else besides the handguns" Greg said as he held his head .

He really hit the truck pretty badly.

"Private, come on, we got to go Now!"

The private Began to run, and holy crap he was pretty fast, it was like an average run, it made me wonder how fast a normal soldier bot's speed was.

As the private reached the truck he jumped onto the back of the truck, which made it bounce a bit, I then entered the driver's seat, the private pulled out his Glock and had it pointed at the troopers, as I began to start the truck.

*Woo . . . . whoop*

I heard the sirens and once I began to drive, the other troopers pulled into the rest stop and saw us pointing a gun at the two troopers, they also saw the giant 6ft robot who was now staring at them.

The cars Turned as they came to a halt, I drove by them and I spoke out of the window.

"Sorry! and here are your pals back." I said and gave a gesture to private.

He somehow understood it, he then kicked the two troopers off the truck, this time he did it gently.

I sped off heading towards the city, the troopers did not follow, I thought we were in the clear until we got near the city, that was when I saw a GFRF force mobilizing at the beginning of the city.

"This sucks!" I said to no one in particular.

As I saw Military soldiers and some militia men aim rifles I stopped the truck instantly, I was about to back up till I saw a MH-60 Blackhawk fly from the town towards us.

"Ah fantastic! just when things could not get worse." I yelled in frustration.

How did I forget about private being a robot?

I began to turn the truck around as I saw muzzle flashes come from the force.

The bullets whizzed by the truck, it made a crack sound as it hit the road.

At that moment I looked in the mirror, I saw private enter Battle mode.

"Oh shit" was all I got out as the private began to fire his Glock towards the GFRF.

The MH-60 Blackhawk turned as it revealed its minigun, the gun barrel began to rotate, and at that moment I knew Shit was about to hit the fan.

*Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt*

cracking sounds from the bullets were heard all over, private grabbed onto the side of the passenger door. then ripped it open as he leaped around and into the seat.

"How the fuck did you do that!" I said as I panicked, I pressed the gas pedal down harder.

"Its really basic." the private said as he loaded a new mag into the Glock.

"Like hell it is!" I yelled as I swerved to avoid the bullets from hitting me.

The MH-60 Blackhawk flew ahead of us as it aimed its other door minigun.

"Why me?" I said as I turned left sharply.

*Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt*

The bullets impacted into the tires of the truck and blew them out, the truck rolled onto its left side, glass shattered as we slid on the road, smoke started to rise in the sky.

"My head . . . That hurts . . ." I said with pain .

"Sir don't worry I won't Let them get you" the private said as he kicked the drivers door with his feet.

The door flew, he leaped out and he ripped me out of the seat, making the seat belt snap.

"OW!" I shouted as the seat belt snapped.

"Apologies sir, but it would take too long any other way." he said as he held me like a princess and ran towards the nearby tree line.

The Mh-60 Blackhawk was about to let loose another shot until the private aimed his Glock, he began to press the trigger, the private began to shoot to where the gunner's position was for the minigun and the Blackhawk pulled away.

The sound of Motorized vehicles began to grow loud, which meant they sent in the ground force as well.

The only reason why the GFRF is responding is because they think private is from a Gate, which makes sense.

As we entered the forest, he began picking up speed, he was jumping over fallen logs and dodging branches and even jumping over holes and puddles, how was he going this fast? He was moving at the speed of an average human sprint, but still it's crazy.

As we got deeper the MH-60 Blackhawk could no longer see us. the ground teams were far behind, we eventually came to a small opening that was just coved enough by some trees, the sounds of the helicopter and motorized vehicles were no more.

How did it turn to this? Now I'm on the run from the government, this is great.

Private let me down and as I looked at Private he had a couple of bullet shots in his metal body.

"Are you alright, Private?" I asked.

"this is nothing sir, I can take way more than this." he said so proud of himself.

He was a heavy soldier bot so it made sense, however I was not expecting him to take that kind of caliber, I sat there as I regained myself enough to be able to stand.

I stood up as I spoke.

"What do we do? There are only 2 of us and many of them." I let out a sigh

"sir I think it's time to get new recruits." The private said

"only if it was that easy Private." I replied

"Sir you have the power to make me, remember what you are sir" he said

I thought to myself and thought about The Book Of Knowledge, It then appeared in my hand, i opened the first page.

Classes

Necromancer

Robotic Engineer

It showed what I wanted, the book shows what you want to see I think.

I raised my hand out and Begun to Chant.

"Come Forth And Rise Again" ~Raise Undead~

Found 3 bodies in a 10 feet radius . . .

Raising 3 skeletons . . .

That worked. . . it actually worked, I can't believe it.

three skeletons raised out of the ground, there empty eyes stared at me then they looked to themselves, they began to look at themselves from feet to there bodies.

"You three, can you speak?" I asked.

One of the skeletons opened its mouth but nothing happened, It felt its throat which was now just bones.

"It's alright, it seems you can't speak such you are now a walking skeleton.' I said, trying to cheer them up.

"My name is Rex and I brought you three back to life, I hope you don't mind" I said nervously.

The three of them shook their heads.

"That's good then, This is Private He Is . . . well he can tell you three." I said as I nodded towards private.

"Hello new recruits, I'm a Heavy Soldier Bot, I mostly go By Private HS1, Nice to have some new allies." He said while giving a salute.

The three of them turned their heads confused.

"It's alright, your reaction is normal, he is a creation of mine, and he is a soldier robot." I said like it was normal

One of them looked and nodded as if he understood what some of it meant, while the other two still looked clueless.

"What year are you three from?" I asked

They used their fingers to write the years.

One wrote 1968 and the other wrote 1783 while the other wrote 1995.

Holy crap 1783 was near the American revolution I think, while 1968 means it is around 50ish and 1995 means that one died when he was around 30.

"Well, welcome to the year 2025, you are at least 200 years old while you two are 30 and 50ish so congrats on returning." I said happily.

The three of them looked at me in disbelief, that is understandable I would do the same in their shoes.

"Anyways, what genders are you three?" I asked

The three of them wrote on the ground .

two wrote Male while the one from 1995 wrote female.

I then explained to them the situation I was in, I told them what has happened On earth, I told them about the Gates, as for the 200 year old I told him the basics so he was not too lost in the modern era.

It took about an hour, but they eventually gave me nods telling me they understood.

"alright I'm going to give you numbers for now for names such I suck with names sorry I will think of names once we get back home." I apologized.

They nodded.

"We will go by the last two numbers in the year, you are M68, you are M83 and you F95, remember that for now and yes you have M for male and F for Female" I said as I looked around.

They shrugged as if they did not care much and looked at me.

"We are trying to get back to the campground and we have quite the walk" I said tot he 4 of them

They all nodded, as we began our long walk.

5/29/25 6:05pm

*Thunk . . Thunk . . Thunk*

The noise of his steps were nice at times, something about hearing the sounds of his thumps put me at ease, well at least a little bit.

We have been walking for a good amount of time now, we are closing in on a road, I can hear sounds of cars.

As we approached the road I saw that it was another highway.

"Alright you 4, let's cross this as fast as possible, we have to make it to the other side." I whispered.

The four of them nodded again, We began to run over to the highway, as we approached the people who were driving by freaked out, Cars halted or swerved as they saw the three skeletons.

Some went right for their phones, we crossed over to the other side, as we got deeper into the woods we began to walk normally.

As we walked we came to a lake, which we had to go around in order to keep walking, but the only thing it led us was to another highway.

We approached the highway, as we got out of the late tree we saw them again.

On the highway were 3 Humvees who had mounted 50.Cals, we just looked at them, did they predict us coming to the highway?

It made sense the other way around was to go through the lake, That was a no go so we had this option only.

"Hands Above your head or we will open fire!" a man called out.

I looked to the voice and saw it was a national guard, the man carried a M4A1, it was raised towards us.

"This is callsign Kilo 1-5, we have the target at the highway, how copy" another man said into a radio.

"Affirm Kilo 1-5, We have friendlies en route." a female voice said.

The soldiers still had their weapons and 50.cal's drawn on us, we could not get captured, if it does happen, we are about to get tested on.

"Now!" I yelled.

I ran forwards pulling my Glock, The private did his leap to the left and began to fire at the mounted 50's, the three skeleton's ran towards the soldiers who were out of the Humvees.

The soldiers were shocked but were prepared they began to fire.

*Pow . Pow . Pow . Pow . Pow.*

gunshots roared as I closed in on a soldier who was still shocked, I Shot him in the knee, he let out a cry as he fell to his knee grasping it, I shot another soldier in the chest but did nothing, they were wearing their full equipment.

Which meant they had bulletproof vests equipped, so I decided to grab the downed soldier's M4A1 and kick the injured man over, in order to make sure he cannot fight back.

As I turned to look at the soldiers one was about to fire directly at me, that was until another soldier was flung into him, the two soldiers fell to their backs.

I looked to see where the soldier came from, there I saw private being lit up by 4 other soldiers and a 50.Cal, I aimed my rifle and began to fire at the soldiers.

I shot round after round watching as I killed them, I was killing my own government's military.

I fought with them during the city battle, now I'm killing them.

This was cruel, why was I doing This?

I stopped thinking about it and kept firing, the soldier began to take cover in between the two Humvees for cover, the three skeletons were busy fighting one of the gunners on a 50.

The mounted 50 was firing at the three of them but the bullets were going in between their bones, one of the bullets hit the head of the skeleton, It was shattered and the bones fell.

As I saw this I opened fire at the gunner, the gun began to turn to the new threat, the two skeletons took this opportunity and climbed up the front of the Humvee, they kicked and punched the gunner till the soldier pulled out a pistol, He shot one of the skeletons head and it fell lifeless once again.

The other skeleton picked up a shattered piece of skull and jabbed it into the soldier's unprotected neck, and blood sprayed all over creating a fountain of blood.

The other soldier heard the spurting of blood and took a glance over to see, what they saw was one skeleton who stood on top of the dead gunner covered in blood, the skeleton grabbed the mounted 50's handle, then began to look for the trigger, which found it and pointed it at the other 2 50's, there was a pause until it fired the weapon.

it turned out it did not know how to fire the weapon, which meant it was one of the older skeletons.

The gun roared as it teared into the soldiers bodies, the private was still under fire but he dealt with all of the soldiers in his area, he now carried a M4A1 and fired at the other soldiers.

I began to fire as well till there was nothing but silence.
