Ray Gibson: The End Of The Gaybour Camp
Written By: Michael Hunt
Adult
Ray awoke to the sounds of his own bones cracking as his life essence began to flow through them once again. As he lay there, waiting for his body to recover, he started to plan his revenge on Bryan McCormac, the ginger bastard who killed him.As he slowly dragged himself to his feet, he noticed that his ID and his gun had gone. This was a problem, his new target was armed and had access to all of the brig, as well as command. Then it occurred to him that since he didn't have his ID on him, he couldn't call the shuttle to take him back to the station.However, when Ray turned to look out of the arrivals window, he saw the shuttle parked right outside. This was odd, why would Bryan leave on the shuttle then send it back? Keen to find out, Ray entered the shuttle to see if the old fool had left his ID in the console. Sure enough, he had, and Ray set the course for Space Station 13...While he was on the shuttle, Ray began to practise transforming his arms into sharp blades and tough shields. For you see, Ray Gibson wasn't the man's real name. He actually went by the alias of Mr Sigma when he was around people of his own kind. He was a changeling, who had used the Gaybour Camp to perfect his skills at stinging people to absorb their DNA.
Now, Ray only had one objective, kill Bryan McCormac for bludgeoning him to death with a toolbox and escaping his camp...However, when he arrived at the station and stepped out into the brig, all he saw were a few dead security officers lying on the floor, and a trail of blood leading out of the brig and into maintenance. Ray quickly took off into the hallways. When he reached the medbay, he saw a crowd of people standing around a body, while Phil McRevis, the RD, stood and laughed menacingly.Ray walked over to see who had died, and saw that it was the other prisoner from the Gaybour Camp, Michael Hunt. He had been shot in the head by Phil. Ray was pleased by this, as it gave him one less job to do, but then the RD turned to him and said "Ah, good to see you're back from your little holiday, would you mind coming with me?" He began walking back to the brig, with Ray following closely behind him...When they reached the brig, Phil quickly flashed Ray, pulled off his headset and kicked him into the shuttle heading to the Gaybour Camp. "What is the meaning of this" Ray shouted, knowing he had a fight on his hands, but not knowing why. "It's time for you to die, Mr Gibson, I have killed the other heads of staff, but you remain a constant thorn in my side, power is what I want, Mr Gibson, and power is what I shall get""I knew you were a shitty Research Director! You killed the real one!" Ray had begun to transform his arms into and organic sword and shield, as Phil took out his telescopic shield and energy sword. This would be fight of spatial proportions!As Phil swung his sword, Ray dodged expertly and performed a well executed counter attack, and left a deep gash in Phil's right cheek. "How did you get away with it for so long, Phil, how did you kill the other heads so secretly?" Asked Ray, between swiped of his arm blade. "Oh, well, the Research Director was the first to go, I killed him on the shuttle, before he even arrived, it's strange how nobody checks the lockers in the arrivals shuttle, isn't it?"
"As for the Captain, well, lets just say I gave him a demonstration on how to effectively use his antique laser pistol!" Phil madly swung at Ray, in a desperate attempt to kill him, but each time, Ray dodged, and gave Phil a taste of his own sword based medicine. "The Chief Engineer found that space can be a cold, lonely and unforgiving place, and as for the Head Of Personnel, well, you know what happened to him!"
Then, Ray pushed Phil onto the shuttle console, where he began savagely pummeling him with his fleshy shield arm. Ray must have caught one of the buttons, because this set the ship off on it's way to the Gaybour Camp. The two fought savagely, and even Ray himself was surprised at how robust he had suddenly become. When the shuttle docked at the Gaybour Camp, it stopped so suddenly that both men were flung full force at the windshield of the shuttle.Phil quickly got up and ran into the Gaybour Camp, hoping to seek refuge or at least some form of medical treatment. All he saw was Bryan McCormac, sitting there, looking depressed. Phil ran towards him, in an effort to kill him for running away and killing several of his officers. However, he stopped moments before he could plunge the energy sword into Bryan's chest. He felt an immense pain in his chest, and looked down to see Ray's arm, penetrating him."HEEEEEEEEEEEEEERES GIBSON!" Ray shouted, as he pulled his arm out of the cavity he had made in Phil's chest, letting the evil man fall to his knees, and bleed to death. Bryan looked up at Ray, and thanked him for saving his life.Ray felt a strange sensation in his heart. It felt warm, and made him feel happy. And he had an overwhelming feeling in him, that made him want to forgive Bryan for what he had done to him. And so, he turned his arms back into arms again, and helped Bryan up, and hugged him tightly.The two stared deeply into each others eyes, and both felt at home in each others arms. For that day, Bryan had found a lover, lost that lover, and found another one again...
