Oddworld - One moolah
Hi,
Does anyone remember some of my old fan fictions? Probably not they only got a few views. I'm trying again so here goes.
Chapter one - Introduction to Power
Al Capeeche was bored, he stood in his room and looked out at the bleak surroundings, he had decided to situate his room right in the centre of his factory, a stupid idea, it was dull, dim and monotonous, he remembered it only forty years ago, the little mill on top of the hillside, surrounded by pines and lush green rolling hills, meeps as well, thousands upon thousands of meeps, not any more, over the years he had grown his enterprise into a global competitor, part of both the vykers conglomerates and the Magog Cartel he owned at least 12% of each market. He remembered his unusual luck, he found a moolah coin on the pavement in one of Oddworld's many industrial hubs, he used it to buy a lottery ticket, the winning prize being $900,000, well he won, and he spent the money to employ sligs to make a hostile takeover of a small mill on a hillside on Northern Paramonia , that provided him with an outlet to make the meep packs and a workforce of ten sligs and twelve mudokons.
He had been a benevolent dictator, over the years he grew from a pud to a chump to a wanna be, he hated that term but it was better than junior executive. He had a custom suit made for him by vyker tailors, $150,000.
The original workers and guards all survived and he treated them relatively well. He hired more and within ten years he had encroached upon the natural lands and destroyed them, the conquest against nature had gone well and he had expanded out until he had over 2000 employees.

Slum lowered himself down from the platform and hid in the shadows, the slig guards wandered past chatting to each other about odd knows what. They all carried the primitive crossbows that Capeeche ordered. Only the highest ranking sligs got powerful weapons. For some reason unknown to most people besides the original twenty two, all employee task masters had to rank up and improve to get better equipment.
He waited for the sligs to go before he clambered out of the shadows and wandered along the pathway, the dim Gothic lamps gave a pale light on everything, including the one slig left.
"Freeze."
