The year is 2076. No one is allowed to own firearms. It was declared in the world treaty of 2072. It was composed to create a world wide peaceful utopia. Guns were melted down to make the great cities, all bombs have been destroyed, and knives are legal but scarce. The gun manufactures were burnt with there large factories, robots, and machinery. The world was at peace with itself and the occasional ninja bank robberies the world was basically violence free. The world�s ghettos were even slowly developing into productive communities and the news media found themselves with hardly any triadic news to report. Rivers Como agreed completely with this idea and was completely happy with the condition of his planet. He had a great job at the oxygen and water factory and a beautiful mermaid wife. Rivers was even disturbed by a flash of light in the sky one day as he walked towards the underground teleporter. He stepped on the platform and was instantly zapped home. He reached down and pick up the daily hologram newspaper and went inside his humble abode. �Hello honey,� he said to his adoring wife, �what is for dinner?� �What would you like?� his darling wife answered. Before he could answer he heard a loud crash in his back yard. River quickly ran to see what had happened. He arrived just as the robotic rose flowers in his garden began to regenerate from the big explosion. What Rivers saw at first didn�t amaze him. It appear to be a one-man space pod much like the ones sent up by The International Space program before it was disbanded after World Consul President White declared it unimportant. It wasn�t until the pod opened and a tall muscular man stepped out that Rivers realized that this wasn�t any ordinary spaceship. The man was 8 feet tall, hairless, and had blue skin. He was wearing a black metallic jumpsuit and pink triangle painted across his chest. His shadow was so immense at Rivers could of though it was night. �Greetings, my name is Pinkerton,� said the strange man in an Irish ascent, �I am from the plant of Getchoo.� �Hi...my name is...Rivers� responded extremely confused and scared �What brings...you to earth?� �My spaceship.� Pinkerton chuckled at his own joke. Rivers, still very confused, smiled and scratched his head. Just then Mrs. Como slid out side to see what had happened to her husband. She caught Pinkerton by surprise. He quickly pulled out a 1700�s style musket and zapped Mrs. Como into chicken just as she stepped out the siding door. Then he stated with the tedious process of reloading his gun. A horrified and not sure what to do, Rivers ran his wife who was now a chicken. �I am sorry about that she caught me off guard� �SORRY?� Rivers responded. �Let me explain myself,� Pinkerton said, �I have been sent to your planet as a scout. See my planet has been trying to conquer your planet for many years now. We wish to capture your many resources and enslave your people. For along time your highly advanced weaponry has scared us off for many years. So we have been watching you closely to hopefully find your weakness. However since you have gotten rid of your weaponry we see a clear window of opportunity. I have spent the last four years traveling here and now I have sent a message back to Getchoo that the coast is clear for the invasion. It will start by me killing you.� Pinkerton raises his chicken musket and aims it at Rivers. Suddenly giant flash of light appears and another man appears. This new man is dressed in a fiberglass cameo suit of armor his face looks like River�s only older. The man pulls out a ray guy and sends a laser shock into Pinkerton blowing him up into green ooze. Then the strange man turns to Rivers and says �I am you from the future. In a few years, these aliens will be landing here. It up to you to stop them from dominating us, you must raise an army to fight and defeat them. If you don�t earth is doomed. We need gun to protect ourselves from them. Remember the fate of the world is in your hands.� The old man then touches a button on his suit of armor and he and his armor dematerialize in a flash of light. Rivers is left standing stunned and confused about what to do next.
Forty years later World Counsel Leader Rivers is celebrating the end of the war with the blue people from Getchoo. Guns are as prevalent as they everywhere. The once great cities are now horrible slums. The once united world is now divided into seven third world countries. The atomic bomb that won the war has left half the earth uninhabitable. During his celebration parade though one of the many poor cities in his country President Como was killed by an assassin�s bullet. His dying words were �Forgive me�. |
