Adventure Science Fiction Thriller

I wake up freezing not knowing where I am. I feel like I have slept for 50 years. My surroundings are an old run down cabin. Right next to me is a table with a cup of water in it. I don’t know how I am warm because when I look out the window that’s just above my head it’s snowing and I don’t see any electricity anywhere.It is so mysterious. The weirdest part about today is I don’t know my name, who I am or how I got here. Just then the door to the cabin swings open with a slam. A tall muscular person wearing snow gear that looks suspiciously like the clothes that Han Solo wears on Hoth. He also carries a bow and about 50 arrows. He comes in carrying something that looks a lot like a bear I can’t see for sure especially because I dove under the sheets that kept me warm, but he saw me and comes over slowly, carefully almost like he expects me to jump up all of a sudden and karate kick him in the face. He sits cross legged on the ground beside me, takes a sip of the water then talks.

“Hello” his voice is calm and soothing.”I see you have woken up”

“Who are you, what do you want with me?” my voice is shaky. I am so afraid.

“My name is Han, I am a arctic hunter. I found you lying on a patch of Ice just before this storm started. I searched your clothes and found this.”

He held up a badge on it that read test subject 2.35.

“ I brought you back here to get you back to health.” he paused for a second trying to remember a thought that he was supposed to tell me.

“Just so you know you can’t tell anybody I’m here.”

“Okay”

Just then there was a scratch at the door and an animal that looked like a furry t-rex with horns burst into the room. At that instant Han took a gun out of his shirt and fired. It looked like a laser. Suddenly so many thoughts came to me.

“Hey,” I said to han.

“Yeah,” he said. 

“Do you know my name”

“Luke” 

“Last name”

“Skywalker”

“Now” I said “tell me the truth… Are we redoing star wars”

“Yes we are all avatars and right now we are on Hoth during the storm but we have no electricity so the story has changed. You are a test subject that takes people, puts them in characters bodies from movies all over the world. So I advise you don't go to any caves.”

I fainted. I guess about 2 hours later I will wake up again, and see a soldier laying on the ground Han takes on his vest and underneath are red, white and blue colours.

“Captain America” I gasp.”where is his shield.”

“In this test area I guess you could call it after 1 day your weapon falls from the sky and then appears on a bed that magically appears in this cabin once you get here.” he gestured his hand to a new bed hanging over my head and I realized that the cabin got bigger too.”If Cap’s here then bucky will be here too” he continued but I cut him of.

“Who's Bucky.”I said.

“Bucky barns you know a test subject for Naziz don’t you ever read your Comics.Once you realize where you are and a bit about this place your memory starts coming back and the skills of your Avatar charge up”. 

Then where is my lightsaber I said in my mind. I put my hands in the pockets of the blue jeans I was wearing, and felt something there. I pulled it out. The object looked like a metal cylinder except that at the top were rings there was a button on the side and hieroglyphics that looked like arrow heads curved around the bottom. 

“The worthy one.” I said tracing the shapes. 

“How do you know hieroglyphics?” said Han.

“I have no clue.” I was tracing the button wondering if I should push it then Captain America jumped to his feet screaming which made my fingers tighten and press the button.

“Whoa.” What I said described it all. There is a glowing light about double the light of the sun hitting snow. It is half red and half blue. The red looked like fire and the blue looked like Ice. Suddenly I remembered Captain America and turned off the sword.

“Hello.” he said. “I Know who you are and what you are doing. Now let me say the obvious. Let's get out of this storm.”

“Okay want to meet my weapon?”. Said Han.

“What's your weapon?” I said. 

“The falcon.”

Almost as on cue I heard a sound of an airplane soar over us, and I looked out of the cabin door… there it was. A circular shape thing with a glass room sticking out the left side, a huge machine gun on the top and a trapdoor on the bottom waiting for us to come in.

“Come on, the storms are going to be at its highest,” said Han.

Once all of us buckled into the leather seats and we had lift off we were flying smoothly through the air. It felt I was on a trampoline. Then suddenly an asteroid made out of Ice hit us, and emergency alarms went off as we spiralled down to the ground.

“This is what I was afraid of,” said Han. “we have to complete the missions here first, or we might die trying to get out of hoth.”

As soon as he said that we hit the ground millions of pieces of shattered glass hit me and when I opened my eyes my vision was blurry and all I saw was blood everywhere I am covered by it and I realized whose blood it is…

My blood. Then I black out.
