The Rift

I am walking away from the remains of what used to be my home (If you could call it a home) thinking about what is going to happen next. Maybe some laying low for a while? Or possibly just fleeing as fast as I can? What? You need some context? Very well. Flashback Time! (Wavy flashback transition noise)

Name? Casimir V. Ironic considering what I like to do, and what I will become later. Age? 16 years, And before you ask, Male, 5' 6'', brown eyes with blue glasses, medium length nearly black, brown hair, species Homo Sapiens. For the sake of the story chose to be racially ambiguous. Think of me however you like. I live in The United States, as a student at Bullworth Academy.

Honestly, I hate people here. They are corrupt, cruel, and just some of the worst humanity has to offer in terms of adolescents. Yeah, I have slight misanthropy. What of it? Humans have committed some atrocities in their time on Earth, but I wouldn't give up being one. Because, outside of those crimes, we have achieved what most have thought to be impossible. I wish I could just get out of here. My thoughts during my time here have been directed mostly toward escaping this pit.

Since I arrived here my primary objective was to escape. I spend the extra time I have, making “contraptions” and hiding them around the school. Meanwhile I have been studying the science behind how the universe works, so I can exploit my environment to its fullest. Anyway, I finished creating my final “contraption”, and was almost ready to leave.

I needed to do a few things before I could escape effectively though. I make it to the dorms, and dived under my bed, grabbing my backpack that I had prepared for this situation. Step one complete. Now for step two. I head towards the main building and the server room. I sneak into the server room, and turn on the computer. I get in,(school computer security is crap. Amarite?) delete my file, records, and history from the school computer. Step two done, and finally it's time for step three. MAKE STUFF ASPLODE!!!!
Every “contraption” that I set up around the school was actually a sabotage device of some sort. But first I needed to get out of the building before things start exploding. Once I got far away from the main building I activated all the contraptions at the same time from my phone. The most recent one was made to destroy the valve that controlled the water pressure in the bathrooms, and the faucets are pretty old so in a few seconds... POW! The faucets popping off the sinks was music to my ears. Some devices cut off power to the school, and others made sounds exceeding 120 decibels at around 1180 Hz causing everything made of glass to shatter. But I was waiting for the best part. In the foundation of the school main building, I hid a carefully designed device. Its one purpose was to release KIFs or Kinetic Incendiary Fireballs. I watched in glory, as the main building of Bullworth Academy burst into flames. I turned and left the campus, ready to begin my new life.

And here we are, back in the present currently choosing the second option as to what I will do next. RUNNING! How did they find out it was me? It's not like I left my name on th... Oh wait, I did. Why did I do that?

“Get back here you!” The cops screamed at me.

“Why would I listen?!” I called back.

“...”

Spongebob narrator: “Six minutes later...”

I was backed up in an alleyway by the cops and they were closing in.

“Heh... they surrounded me... those poor bastards.”

I reach into my backpack, pull out two custom made, long metal clubs with handles on the sides, or tonfa, and fall into a defensive stance.
One of them says “Hey now, we don't need to resort to violence here. Just come along quietly, and there won’t be any trouble.”
“You're right” I reply. “Violence may not always be the right answer...”
I rush forward. “But it's a pretty damn effective one!” He puts up his arms to his face in reflex. I knock them away with one tonfa, and slam the other into the side of his head, knocking him unconscious. Silence.
Then several Tasers are leveled at me. “Freeze! You are under arrest for assaulting an officer and resisting arrest!” I ready my stance again.
“Challenge Accepted”. With a flick of the wrist, I twist the handle on the tonfa, and the rod unfolded into a fanlike metal shield. At this sudden movement, two of the four cops still conscious, fire their Tasers, which are then blocked by my shield. I take this opportunity to run at the other two cops and roll, reducing the area not covered by my shield, which then blocks the other two Taser shots from hitting my legs. While the cops are reloading their Tasers, I reach into my backpack and pull out a plastic ball with brown sludge in it, with a cord sticking out. I quickly pull the rip cord and that causes sparks inside the ball. The brown stuff ignites, I throw it on the ground and a billow of smoke comes from the potassium nitrate/sugar mix.

“Hey! Get ba-(Cough Cough) Back here!” I scaled the alley wall and made it onto the roof by time the smoke cleared. I can’t afford to be trapped like that again. I only have two smoke bombs left. I drop down from the roof on the other side of the building.

“I gotta get out of here.” so I start running. I hit the groves of trees by the edge of the town. My green clothing will blend in well with the foliage. Walking through the trees, I notice something tugging on my clothes.

“What is that? It doesn't feel like wind.” I let myself get pulled along between the trees, deeper into the forest, to find the source, but I notice the pull getting stronger.

“What the heck is this? It feels like gravity!” I start to try and fight it but it's too late. I find myself falling along the ground until I see... something. I don't know what it is. It looks like a ball of heat. Like when you look at the road and you see heat waves, but in reverse, with the distortions traveling inward. I grab onto a tree and hold on for what seems like eternity, but was most likely a few seconds before my grip slips and I fall into the anomaly.
I... I don't know where I am. Just floating in a void. No, not a void. There are bubbles. Massive bubbles dotting the space. I feel an especially small one pulling on me. With nothing to hold onto I drift toward it. The bubble feels like strong wind coming from all sides as I enter it. There, floating in the center. Is that a watch? It is a metal band of some sort with a face, but no display. It looked like it was made to fit on a wrist. I reach for it and put it on.

“[Calibrating]”

“What?” AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!! SO MUCH PAIN!!! It felt like my body was being split open, rearranged and put back in the wrong places. I'm going to black... out............looks like a tree.
