《Cars to Humans》Chapter 15: When The World Seems to End
Advertisement
(Lightning's POV)
I was led into a conference room with several scientists and business men. I parked at the end of the table, and the army vehicle, who I found out was named Marvin, parked across from me. Marvin whispered requests to the servants around the room, and soon many refreshments and comforts were delivered to the room.
"Alright McQueen, spill the information." Marvin demanded.
I shrugged, "What exactly do you want to know?"
"Hmm....well, first off, did you learn any strengths and weaknesses?"
I thought hard about the question, "Well, I didn't really notice any, but I would say a strength is their security. I was taken to two agency's and security was always tight. A weakness would have to be some of their technology. I was tested a few times, and sometimes the results would be wrong."
Marvin nodded. "Interesting. Alright, what about artillery and weapons?"
"They had lots of guns and tazers. I never saw any missiles or anything."
"What about the people? How were you treated?"
"I was, actually, treated very well by one agency, but....."
"What?"
"Well, one agency would capture cars lost in the human world and inject them with a red liquid. This would force the car to stay there in the human world, forever. I was injected, but the good agency I stayed with had another way of getting us home."
Marvin nodded, "Do you remember what the agency's were called?"
"The Human Imposters Agency and the Saving Imposters Agency."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After I gave Marvin and the group information on the human world, I was sent to a training facility. I was to work on getting used to my car again and to work on my military training. War was coming very close.

I was into my second hour of military training, when the facilities doors burst open. It was Sally and Mater. I rushed over to them and snuggled Sally affectionately. She snuggled me back and I pulled away to look at her. She looked like normal Sally, except her eyes were teary and red, and she looked as if she hadn't slept for months.
Mater was his usual tow truck self, and he was here, also, for military training. Mater smiled his buck tooth smile and went over to one of the machines, while Sally and I parked at a nearby table.
"Oh Stickers! I was so worried! What happened? Where did you go?" she asked.
So, I spent the next half hour explaining everything to her, and she just stared at me with her mouth agape. After I explained everything, she gave me a sort of hug and smiled. "Lightning, I'm so sorry you had to go through all that. I'm just SO glad you are home and safe."
She smiled and turned away. She stopped and looked back at me, motioning for me to follow her. I shrugged and shook my hood. She drove back towards me.
"Come on, Stickers. Let's go home."
"I can't."
She looked confused, "Why not?"
I motioned towards the training equipment, "I'm gonna fight, Sally."
She looked at me, shocked. "You're gonna...what?"
"Sally, I was asked to fight against the humans. I have no choice."
"Um....okay. Just-Just promise me you'll be careful?"
I smiled, "I promise."

I was, later, fitted with an army paint job. Camo was the base color and I had military badges painted on my fenders and sides. I was equipped with military weaponry and heavy duty, dirt driving tires.

I was given my orders, and I was assigned a helicopter. I drove into helicopter 19 and saw many other military cars. I parked in an empty space and sighed. I was only minutes away from war.
Then, the helicopters took flight, and we were on our way to the battlefield. My tank lurched as I thought to myself.
I was ready. Physically: yes. Mentally: no.
I was acting brave, but, deep down, I was terrified.
Deep down, I was apprehensive.
I couldn't do this.
Not after all I've seen.
Not after all the humans I met.
I couldn't stand the fact......I was going to murder people.
For what?
Just so we can have the planet to ourselves?
Why can't we get along?
The world didn't make sense anymore.
Nothing made sense.
I'm a race car.
Not a military car.
I wasn't built for this.
I knew this was wrong.
But, what did I do?
Be the role model...
or the traitor?

Orc Lord
A young woman just starting out in life is killed tragically in a car accident. However, she soon regains consciousness as a baby in a fantasy world. But... she's an Orc?! It would be good if she could just enjoy her new life quietly, but she seems destined for war and carnage. How will she fare as a monster in a fantasy world? ________________ This story will have a total of three arcs: Arc 1, The Birth of Babylon: 571 pages (complete) Arc 2, The Baphomet War: 420 pages (complete) Arc 3, The Mad Queen of Carnage: (in progress) ________________ Ultimately, I'm writing this for enjoyment. If you enjoy it too, fantastic! Gore: Extremely infrequent, but moderately intense. Profanity: There are a few swear words here and there, as well as some more creative insults. Traumatizing Content: While I'm at it, there are some questionable morals displayed (mostly after chapter 77). So far we can check off slavery, brainwashing, war, and genocide. This story starts off very Light Novel-ish because I was reading a lot of them at the time. The writing style gradually matures as it goes. Sorry, but I don't have the stamina to go back and fix everything, even if I know it gets pretty roughshod at times. New readers, please keep in mind, I make use of "unreliable narrators" at times. My story accepts donations, but it is free to read and I've only uploaded it here. Lastly, Orc Lord is a member of the WriTEr's Pledge, which means I have sworn to see it through to a satisfying ending. One of my long breaks triggered a dishonor, but I'll redeem it someday when it's actually finished. I'm the ultimate necromancer author. ;P
8 162Karl
This story follows a young man, Karl, as he is abruptly reborn in another world as a goblin without explanation. He struggles to find out why it happened to him as he explores a world that is both unnervingly familiar and yet still strange. *** I have given this story several content tags that may not fit the early chapters, such as litrpg. It will take a few chapters for those elements to be introduced.
8 211The Misadventure of Derrick Finigan
The story is about our hero, Derrick Finigan, and his struggle for survival in an unknown environment. This new world is unforgiving, and life is cheap here. Derrick has been abruptly thrown into this realm, and he is going to have to adapt to survive. I plan on updating infrequently and randomly as I'm a lazy bastard.
8 126After Z
The signs were all there. A mysterious fever spreading in the wake of the pandemic. Increasing incidents of unrest with surprisingly little coverage by the media. Breakdowns in basic services. Nick had thought for years that total social collapse would come in his lifetime – he just never expected that collapse to come from the unquiet dead. As soon as he was sure enough that the potential danger outweighed the awkwardness of admitting that yes, the dead were rising, Nick grabbed his bug out bag and bugged out. It felt, at times, that the zombie movies, comics, and games he’d grown up with had been preparing for this moment. And Nick was right. But also very very wrong. After Z is an apocalyptic occult interactive serial about survivors hiding from the dead in a forest preserve. A new chapter is posted every week, and every week supporters vote on which way the story flows. This story will be added to daily until it's caught up with its current state elsewhere; if you don't want to wait you can read ahead on my blog.
