《Cars to Humans》Chapter 10: The Dang Black Box
Advertisement
(Lightning's POV)
"Wait, you dreamed of the place your friend was at?" asked Mr. Spark.
We were sitting in his office and discussing my weird dream from the night before. Mater had woken up earlier and had joined me in this meeting I was having with Mr. Spark.
"Yes sir. It was so weird. When Mater explained where you found him, it sounded exactly like my dream. Word for word. I don't know how or why that happened." I explained.
Mr. Spark nodded. He seemed to be thinking very hard until he spoke. "How did the two of you get transported here?"
I looked confused,"Why does it matter?" I asked.
Mr. Spark continued,"Well, there are different ways to get transported to the human world. You could have been exposed to some nuclear waste, or a portal even. Sometimes people transport here by dreaming. The only one that's a problem is the dang black box."
I perked up,"Black box?"
"Yes. That rotten thing. This small box is a rare case in which it sends people to the human world. They are hard to find nowadays, so I'm sure you two weren't involved with it."
Mater and I shared a panicked glance. Mr. Spark noticed and his eyes went wide. "Oh no...".
"Oh no what? Tell me Mr. Spark!" I yelled.
Mr. Spark looked up and sighed. "Look, here's the deal. I have two important things to tell you, so listen carefully. First, Mater was never injected with the syringe from the HIA. This means you both can get home easily. Second, getting you home easily has now gone down the drain. This is going to take many more tests and fluid samples to ensure you're healthy enough. As for you, Mr. McQueen, the dream you had is a side affect of the box. The box can sometimes give people weird talents, and yours is, basically, seeing into other people's situations through the dream world."

I sighed,"Okay. I guess. What are the tests?"
"Mostly blood samples and checking your internal organs. We will also have to do a couple CAT-scans and MRI'S. If you or your organs are showing any kind of struggle, we have to keep you here longer. Until you are fully healthy, you must stay here."
I nodded. This made sense, but I just wanted to get home. If only we had never gone and investigated that bathroom. None of this would have happened.
After a few more minutes of talking with Mr. Spark, Mater and I headed towards my room. When they found Mater, they put another bed into my room so we could both be together. I wasn't going to risk us getting separated again.
I was walking along until I, accidentally, bumped into Scarlet. She fell and papers flew throughout the hall. I instantly started helping her pick up the papers.
"Oh! Scarlet, I'm so sorry. I wasn't paying attention." I said, apologetically.
"No, I'm sorry. I should have moved out of the way." Scarlet said, stifling a chuckle.
We finished picking up the papers, and I helped her to her feet. She smiled and was about to walk away before I stopped her.
"Scarlet."
"Yes?"
"I just...I wanted to-to say...um...I'm sorry." I finally managed to say.
She looked at me, startled. "For what?"
"For rudely yelling at you yesterday. I'm terribly sorry. It was unnecessary and uncalled for. I'm sorry."
She smiled. "I accept your apology. I'm really surprised. Most men wouldn't have the guts to say sorry to a woman, and I really wasn't expecting you to even apologize. Either way, I'm happy you did. Thank you."
I smiled and she smiled back. "I guess I'll see you later, Scarlet." I said.

She nodded and turned to walk away. Before she made it to the end of the hall, she turned around and said, "Have a nice day....Lightning."
She winked and walked around the corner and out of sight. I could only smile. For once, someone, besides Mater, had actually called me by my name. Not mister nor sir. It felt good.
I walked, happily, to my room and found Mater laying on his bed. He looked up when I entered. I walked to my bed and sat. Mater sat up and seemed to be lost in thought, until he finally spoke. "Now what?"
I shrugged. "I don't know. We have a few tests that need to be done in about an hour. We could wait in here till then. "
Mater nodded.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Alright, McQueen, this will only hurt a second."
I was in the medical department of the SIA. I was dressed in a hospital gown and sitting on the medical bed. I was getting a shot to help my organs develop faster. Apparently, when I had my first tests done, the results came back incorrect, so I was still unfit to go home. Mater's organs were also underdeveloped, and he was having tests done in the room next to mine.
After the nurse gave me the final shot, for today, I had to get some X-rays done. They X-rayed ever bone in my body before I could finally leave the medical room.
I was now sitting in the waiting room, waiting patiently for my results. A few minutes went by and, finally, a nurse came out and called my name. I followed her to a medical office, where Mr. Spark was waiting. He smiled as I entered and sat across from him.
"Mr. McQueen, the test results are getting better. Most of your bones are healthy and fit, except for your hip bones and some ribs. Those usually take longer to develop anyways, so your normal on that part. Your blood is good and healthy, and your organs are developing smoothly. Your friend also has very similar results. You two will be good to go in no time."
I sighed a sigh of relief. I would soon be home. Nothing was going to get in my way. Not even the stupid HIA.

The Forbidden Class
Hatred. Lust. Power. There are many reasons why the Forbidden Classes are chosen. For Katai, a young village Guard, the reason was simple. Vengeance. Schedule I’ve not been able to write for quite some time now, so while I’m getting back into things the schedule will be nonexistent. Story details LitRPG - expect classes and skills and magic. Not a lot of stats/number-crunching though. There is slavery featured in this story, which a lot of people have been upset about. So here’s your fair warning. Skill levels and progression inspired by Azarinth Healer. Let me know what you think, and feel free to give me some constructive criticism. Please be nice about it though!

How to have fun in an apocalypse (Rewrite)
After spending an unsavory amount of time in hell, our protagonist finally manages to escape the place that had kept him captive for so long... again. Unfortunately, even after plotting and planning for years, he ends up in a place not much different from the burning and agonizing Tartarus he once had to call home. Guts, blood, and carnage start to reign over Earth as soon as he set foot in it, much to his dismay. What use is it to cry over spilled milk, though? Tired of the monotony of endless torture, he steps into the world intending to have as much fun as possible. While others might try to raid the Orc Lord with as many people as possible, why not challenge him to an arm-wrestling tournament? The power of friendship will surely be on his side. Why hide from the big, bad wolf in one of your houses if wearing camo in plain sight should have the same effect? Now, making friends and going on adventures would be perfectly fine, if it wasn't for the fact that he hides a few more secrets than one might think at first. This is a complete rewrite! Due to being unsatisfied with the previous version, I have decided to work the story up, beginning from the older chapters! Version 2.0 includes: - enhanced writing and editorial skills - additional information and aspects to characters - minor deviation from storyline and improvements
