1 Pilot - Hello world.
The skies were dark, the wind was howling.
A storm was brewing and the air was cold and hard to breathe.
Amidst this storm there stood two figures, their shadows descend down onto the ground.
One was a figure of a man, his aura was strong and demonic and he was in golden clad armor. The other figure was different, it was monstrous compared to the human figure. It was as large as a mountain and it had a different kind of aura and in no way was it less in power, it was considerably stronger. The longer you stare at it, the more….majestic it felt.
Even with the cold wind blowing, and thunderous clouds, its shadow casted a warm feeling all around. It felt, heavenly.
These two figures seemed as though they were about to fight and we were witnessing a heavenly duel. All of the sudden a loud and powerful voice echoed throughout the area.
"Buuuuudddhhhhaa!"
It was the moment Sun Wu Kong lost his bet with Buddha.
He was furious that Buddha had cleverly tricked him, The Great Sage Equal of Heaven had been tricked by some lowly monk?!
Right then Sun Wu Kong swung his golden staff towards Buddha and its size changed from a mere 5ft staff into what can be said was as tall as a mountain.
Doooonnng! Right as the impact hit, the loud ringing of a bell was heard and the staff shattered into a thousand pieces.
"FIGHT ME" Sun Wu Kong shouted.
At that moment Buddha opened his mouth and a heavenly voice rang out "Stop smoking Aslan, it's time to get back inside"
Right then and there the world started to fade. The stormy skies disappeared and the two legendary figures faded as well.
Aslan is a 19 year old college dropout, working at a telemarketing company.
He always thought he was in for something big in life as a kid but after so many years of schooling, he gave up. He couldn't do it anymore so he dropped out of college and decided to just work his way up in this world.
"Aslan, I wonder what you're thinking of when you gaze off into the skies."
Jaynee walked off towards the entrance while inhaling the last of the cigarette in her hand.
Jaynee was his coworker and worked in the cubicle next to his.
She was in her mid-30 and was on a 15min break with Aslan.
"Don't worry about me, just make sure you punch in again on time." Aslan yelled as he drank the last of the energy drink in his hand and also inhaled a long drag of his cigarette.
Aslan was tired, he works day and night trying to pay back his school loans. Living on energy drinks, cigarettes and his youth he was willing to make the sacrifice and work all sorts of jobs. But this telemarketing job has him stressed out. He hasn't hit his quota this month, and he is at risk of losing his job. It pays so much better, but it was a hard gig.
Aslan reached into his pocket and pulled out another cigarette and popped open another drink.
He took another long drag and gulped down another huge amount of energy drink.
Right as Aslan exhaled, he noticed his hand shaking and his breath was short.
His whole body was trembling, he clinched his chest and knew that all the bad choices in cigarettes and energy drinks had caught up to him.
Aslan fell to his knees and thought about his whole life trying to catch his breath.
He tossed the can away, but kept the cigarette. He knew he only a few moments left and wanted to go as he wanted. So he took another long drag from the cigarette and puffed out the smoke.
He thought to himself, if this is it then so be it.
Aslan dropped to his knees and is now laying on his back, he noticed the clouds started to shift form into a storm.
"Woah, this is perfect, even the heavens will cry from me"
His cigarette rolled of his hands and he let out his last breath.
The skies are now darken and Aslan vision started to fade.
A sharp and loud ringing was heard by Aslan and just as his vision started fade head a voice call out "You lost, Sun Wukong"
Aslan was shocked, he thought he was dying but now the two legendary figures were right there in front of him.
As he stared up into the skies, Aslan looked around and saw nothing but hills covered with lush green grass and trees.
It was so peaceful even though the skies were dark and the wind was blowing hard.
Wukong dropped down from the skies and started to curse towards the heavens and towards Buddha.
Wukong looked beside him and notice there he notice a man laying down next to him.
Aslan looked up and slowly and softly said "You're going to get captured and imprisoned by Buddha for the crimes you've committed against the heavens"
Wukong laughed and said "Stupid human, I am the Great Sage equal of Heaven, how can allow myself get captured or lose to a mere monk"
"Just wait there, when I'm done with this monk I will teach you a lesson!"
As Wukong finished his last words a majestic voice sounded out loud as everything around them started to rumble.
"Sun Wukong, for the crimes you committed against heaven, I shall capture you today and punish you for all eternity!"
The clouds split and the heavens roared as five pillars of blinding light descended down onto the ground.
The force was so strong even Wukong was not able to move an inch.
"DAMN you monk!"
Wukong transformed into a monstrous ape in sparkling golden armor and started to fly towards the pillars attempting to stop it from coming down towards him.
His speed was so fast, Aslan was not able to see it fully but all he heard as a loud boom and Wukong had disappeared and flew towards the pillars.
BOOOOOOM!!
The two collided midair, what seems like an unstoppable force was met with an unmovable object.
Wukong fell back down and landed next to Aslan.
His golden armor was shattered and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The pillars were still coming down on him and the force was so strong that Aslan can see the fear in Wukong's face.
"If you want to survive this, call me master and I will tell you how you will win"
Wukong spat out more blood and in this desperation, he looked over and said "I'd rather be trapped for a thousand years than call you master"
Aslan smiled and said, you should come lay next to me.
Wukong ignored him and once again flew towards the pillars falling towards him.
BOOOOM!
Once again Wukong was sent flying back down.
More bloody than before. Blood ran down the side of his face and he was on his knee.
At that moment the pillars started to land one at a time and the force brought down burned the entire area forming a gigantic hand imprinted down on the earth.
Wukong was still not done, he transformed once again into the giant ape and held up the magnificent hand of Buddha.
Wukong gave out a loud roar and looked at Aslan with blood red eyes and shouted
"Tell me how I can escape, and I will reward you with an enchanted peach"
Aslan looked over with wide eyes and said, "give me the peach first and I will tell you"
It was that moment that Wukong incited an incantiation and a peach popped out and rolled towards Aslan.
Aslan tried to reach for it and finally grasped the fruit.
The peach had a weird glow which radiated a shiny yellow and orange color.
It was soft and Aslan thought to himself, "Wow this truly is an enchanted peach from the gardens of the Jade Emperor"
Aslan quickly took a bite. The soft layer of skin instantly melted in his mouth and he felt his heart beating faster. He took another bit and the juicy fruit slowly went down rejuvenating his life force.
Aslan finished the fruit and he felt his whole body was so light and it felt like he started to float.
Aslan looked over and saw that Wukong had already lost consciences but was still holding up the pillars staring blankly back at Aslan.
BOOOM at that moment Wukong's magical energy started to fade and he transformed into a small monkey lying next to Aslan.
Buddha's palm was so magnificent and Aslan already knew that Wukong was no match for it.
Even though Wukong transformed back, the palm did not stop and was headed straight towards Aslan.
Boooom Booom Booom Boooooom
The hand hit Aslan's chest and it was consecutive hits one after another.
He felt as if something was wrong, he tried to look around for Wukong but he was nowhere to be seen.
Aslan's vision dimmed again and started to fade once more after getting hit so many times.
As he looked up he saw two hands pushing down on his chest.
It was a paramedic attempting CPR to bring Aslan back from the dead.
Aslan thought, "SHIT, I wasn't transported into another world? I was dreaming? What the hell is going on?!!"
Aslan thought to himself "Just let me die, this time, I will meet Wukong and teach Buddha a lesson!"
Aslan wanted to return back into "his reality" he wanted to be able to control everything and use his imagination to control the whole world!
All those superheroes and their powers, he wanted it all.
He thought, if I can just have the ability to "imagine", I will be unstoppable
His breathing slowed down, he couldn't breathe anymore
His hearing started to fade, everything was quiet.
His sight faded, he couldn't see anything, and it was completely dark.
With everything that was happening Aslan knew that this, was it… the real deal. This was his death...
He felt like he was adrift and floated freely in every direction.
He thought…
If only I can see the hills and green grass just…
If only I can hear the sound of the ocean breeze….
If only I can breathe the fresh air of the mountains…..
Aslan knew was nearing death and had a million things come up in his mind. It was like they say, when you die, your whole life flash before you.
Then suddenly he heard birds chirping in the distance….his vision slowly came back, it was blinding at first but it started to clear up.
He grasped for air and was amazed.
When his vision returned he saw that he was floating… adrift at sea.
Lying on a small boat.
Aslan looked around and saw a beautiful world.
Green grass, tall trees, hills that stretch for miles and mountains as tall as the heavens.
He said "I'll be damn, everything I wished for, if only I knew what was happening"
"I wish I had a system that spoke in my head, that way I can always ask for help like the main characters I read about in novels…
