"Look at this shit!"

Jax scrolled through Protocol Tron, pointing at anything that caught his eye.

"Even the description proves it! Special Agent Tron is a top-tier action-movie-hero spy guy. It says it right there!"

"Wait, look at what it says next." Nova was far more relaxed than Jax was, mainly because women are apparently more mature than men? I don't know, but you always find women to be the more logical ones in movies like this so I'll just follow that same trope.

"He receives a report of a supposed zombie virus stirring in northern Japan, and only one man is ready to complete the task and save the world. That man is Tron, the world's greatest agent." She spoke the story's blurb out loud, facing her colleagues to see their reactions.

Of them all, Ebony was the most upset. "Fuck that my gentleman, this shit ain't true kus! Zombie virus? I just be making fuckin miracles, I'm like Jesus, your boy's got soul. Quit playing with Ebony dog, I ain't got one homie complain about what I do, you've got me fucked up. For real, for real."

"I don't know man, everything that's written in this book has happened." Jax became suspicious, continuing to scroll through chapter 6. "Dr. Evilborn Doombringer, a very nice fellow, is working on The Cure. Do you think he's tricking us?"

Nova stopped him. "Now why would someone like Evilborn Doombringer ever think of birthing something so evil that it'll bring the world to total doom? It doesn't sound like him, there's gotta be something else at play here."

"I want everything stopped, shut down all work on the Cure, you hear me?" Ebony started walking away, concealing his fists. "I ain't finna allow some bitch accuse me of being a supervillain! Ask any gentleman from the crib, they vouch for me! Tell em your boy Ebony sent you, and you'd have their respect, you feel me my gentleman? Some bullshit right here. Fuck Tron's ass, fuck the opps' asses, and fuck Cyber Guy's bitch ass!"

Jax interrupted his boss to point out something else he noticed. "Hey man what the hell is this? He called me a loser? Look how he described Nova!"

The only female in the room shivered nervously, trying to cope with the fact that the author (me) is in love with one of his own characters. She changed the chapter, not wanting to look at any more simping, but that was when something caught her eye.

Also if my future girlfriend is reading this for some reason, hi honey. I wrote this before I met you, so stop complaining bitch. Ok, moving on.

"Ebony, if I may?" Nova called out to him, pointing towards the computer screen. "It says that Tron made his way here because there was a sign saying, 'not an evil base'. Something just isn't adding up."

Ebony suddenly erupted in a screaming frenzy. "Yeah cuz we ain't evil! I ain't finna ruin my hood creds and reputation and lie. Was kus suppose to say we evil?? Hell nah man!"

Finally, he exited the room. His personal guards walked beside him, escorting him away. Phew, now I can ease down on the swearing lol.

Jax spun around in his office chair, keeping his hands clenched together in front of his waist. It was still difficult to process everything that had happened. Even Nova was trying her best to avoid breaking down due to her existential crisis.

"Just a few hours ago, I was watching a movie." He said, staring at the white ceiling. "Sometimes I wonder how it'd be to actually become a part of that film. I've even considered it for books and games. What I wouldn't give to be a character in a galaxy like Star Wars. But no, it's a low-effort garbage comedy. Just our damn luck."

Nova sat beside him in her own chair, placing her right leg above her left. "Nothing about life makes sense anyways. It's a crazy world we live in. All of this is basically confirming the theory of living in a simulation, except it's a book rather than some sort of game."

"Man, shut up for a second." Jax placed a hand over his head, taking a deep breath. "Oh my head, my head hurts. I was just living my life, now I find out I'm not even real."

"You are real. This just has to be some sort of elaborate prank, I just don't know how or why this could even happen."

"Is there a camera watching us? Can somebody hear us talking right now? We need to get out of here, we need new IDs, new passports, new identities! I'm seriously freaking out."

"Snap out of it, Jax!"

"Let me have a mental breakdown in peace, I can't handle this stress."

"Mental breakdowns aren't going to fix this, there's information in that book that could help us learn more about what we're facing."

At this point, hearing these two fictional characters just take turns talking is getting a bit confusing, so I'll make it easy for you people.

Jax: "Did we just get called fictional?"

Nova: "See? This is why we need to continue investigating this anomaly."

Jax: "How are we even aware of the current narration?"

Nova: "Good question, unfortunately I don't have a good answer."

Cyber: "Yeah neither do I, it's best just to go along with the flow."

Nova: "How the hel-"

Jax: "Here's a better question. Did we hear you speak just now, or did we read you speak and get confused?"

Nova: "Aren't you supposed to be depressed?"

Cyber: "Yeah, go back to crying you baby."

Jax: "What the hell is happening?"

Cyber: "Hey Nova, do you want to leave this crybaby and join me in private elsewhere ;)"

Nova: "..."

Jax: "You know what, I think I'll go back to being depressed. This is just embarrassing." 

Nova: "I don't even get what the point of this is."

Cyber: "I came here from the future after writing Chapter 15. It gets really crazy then, but I got bored so I wanted to visit the old chapters."

Jax: "Shouldn't we like, arrest you or something? I just realized, we're supposed to be looking for you."

Cyber: "Shut up, cry more."

Nova: "No, he's right. We need to know who and what you are."

Jax: "I'll sound the alarms and get Ebony in here asap. We've got you now Cyber Guy!"

Unfortunately, when Jax flipped the nearest fire alarm, nothing happened. Instead, he spotted a sign next to it that said the alarm was out of order. 

Jax: "Wait what?"

Cyber: "I don't think so buddy. You're in my domain."

Nova: "Did you really need to say that out loud, Jax?"

Jax: "What do you mean?"

Nova: "I mean, way to go announcing your plan to the supervillain just so he can find a way to stop you."

Jax: "How was I supposed to know he could do that?"

Nova: "Out of everything we've seen throughout the past hour, are you really asking that question right now?"

Jax: "Don't pin this on me, I was trying to help."

Nova: "You're supposed to do things QUIETLY!" 

Jax: "How ironic you used caps to say quietly."

Nova: "This is all your fault."

Jax: "Why the hell are we even arguing about this? Haven't you ever realized that if all we do is blame, and no one cares to listen, then there's nothing left to say?"

Cyber: "But if we stake a claim, let actions speak the loudest; we'll dance beyond the flames. Yo Jax, I love this song!" 

Jax: "I wasn't even singing though."

Cyber: "Those were the lyrics to one o-"

Nova caused a system shutdown on the PC and closed Wattpad during the process. Unable to talk, I disappeared from the conversation.

"There." Nova patted her hands. "Thanks for distracting him."

"I was distracting him?"

"As I said, everything we say is being written down. You'll catch him off guard if you just go through with whatever you're doing without announcing it to the world."

Finally ending this boring segment, Nova rebooted the computer while Jax was left alone to gather his thoughts. Then because the plot needed him to, he left the scene. 

ANYWAys, I accidentally hit the caps lock there. Time to end this chapter. I need to write more anyways, and this is my past self talking here. I just predicted I'd come back into the future to change stuff as I always tend to do. You know, you write something you're proud of, then after a month or so, you come back and realize it's garbage so you fix it.

Now that the chapter is over though, look at this lying end banner lmao. 'Non-Stop Comedic Action'. There isn't gonna be any comedic action anytime soon. 

It's time for the actual plot to develop! Onwards to the next chapter where we get introduced to more bullshit!
