Slaga's Story

sliguy101 · #1 03-08-2005, 07:28 PM

An Oddworld fan fiction I did. Dedicated to the only slig who was nice.

Proglue:

He was not like other sligs. He was not one of those sligs who would dream to be in the glukkon military when he grew up. His mind was on other things like peace, freedom, and nature. He was the only ever slig who was nice, but mudokkons ran away from him. The reason why he wore metal pants was to blend in with the evil sligs. He never used his gun for evil. Horrible things got to Slaga's mind when a slig killed a mudokkon. The slogs killing mudokkons, well, that made things even worse for him.
He thought the slog was an ugly, dark-hearted creature. They were ugly to him when the slogs just ate up the mudokkons that tried to break free. The most biggest reason why he hated slogs was because that they were a sligs companion. He couldn't believe it. Those awful things are their companions? Well, they sure do match them as the monsters they are.
Sadly, Slaga couldn't help mudokkons trying to break free. If he did, he would be caught and then killed. He loved the mudokkons so much, especially Abe. Abe is his biggest hero. Slaga had never seen a mudokkon with such pride and dignity. He went from a floor waxer, to a big time hero. Slaga was pleased by the things he did. If Slaga talked to Abe, he wouldn't tell him he was a kind slig. If he told Abe that, he would just laugh very hard. Slaga didn't even want to take that risk.
Slaga worked at a factory called "Grentian's Brew" named after his boss Grentian Chilowic. Grentian always wanted to make his brew the best. Unfortunately, Soulstorm Brew took the title. Grentian was very angy and dissapointed. After consumers realized that Soulstorm Brew was made from bones, Soulstorm was losing satisfaction. When people realized that Grentian's Brew was 100% bone free, Grentian got many brews sold. Grentian's brew was a little popular, but Soulstorm Brew was still more popular, as some fans stayed loyal after the secret was revealed.
This is his story. The story of the only slig who was nice. His name, which went down in history, was Slaga.

That was nice, Sliguy, and sort of sad.

I'd love to see more because this is starting off great!

Part 1: Age 1-6

Chapter 1: Here comes a special slig

A new slig was been born. Right now, he is in care and not yet ready to go out in the slig forest. The parents were so excited, but have not yet though up a name. The parent had though up 3 names. Uma, Jojur, or Slaga. The parents just couldn't decide. So the doctors did, and his name was Slaga. Slaga's parents names were Lou (father) and Grily (mother). Unfortunately, instead of listening to his parents, he just liked to look out the window and see the beautiful forest.
When he was 2, he was taught to read and write. When he was 3, he started to read a few books. Some were 3rd grade leves, and some were study books. When he was 4, he was able to talk and was finally allowed to go outside and play, with his parent's permission of course. He loved to look at trees and collect things that fell from them. When his parents saw what he was doing, they were confused. They though he was suposed to be like all the other sligs. All of the other sligs were not fasinated by nature. They talked about that with a slig professional.
"He is not yet interested with guarding facilities and shooting down mudokkons yet. Maybe you should have a talk with them." Said the professional. So Lou and Grily called him in for a short while. Slaga was sitting of Grily's lap. Lou right beside him. "Slaga," Lou started out, "soon you shall learn to be like other sligs." "What do other sligs do?" Asked Slaga. "It's a boatload of fun. You get to get a job in a factory. The best part about that is that you get to kill these creatures called mudokkons." Replied Grily. Slaga leaped out of his mom's lap. "That is not fun!" Yelled Slaga, "mudokkons are innocent creatures that should not be hurt!" Slaga crawled as fast as he could out of the house. "Oh dear." Said Grily. "Someone sure has issues." Said Lou.

odd chick · #5 03-09-2005, 01:58 PM

That chapter was even better than your first one, Sliguy! Slaga doesn't like killing Mudokons too. It's so sad that the other sligs take pleasure in doing that. I can't wait to read more of this because it's great!

Abe16 · #6 03-09-2005, 03:40 PM

It's getting better!Way to go slaga!

Chapter 2: Trouble with friends

Slaga huddled up next to a tree. He seemed to have an angry look on his face. Then, some other sligs came up to him. "Hi! Wanna do something together?" Asked a person. "Okay." Slaga replied. They crawled into another part of the forest. They seemed to be getting deeper in the forest. "Um, where are we going?" Asked Slaga. "You'll see." Said a person. They kept on crawling.
When they stopped crawling, Slaga saw a mudokkon dummy hung by it's neck to the branch of a tree. Slaga made a silent gasp. "Cool, huh?" Asked a person. "It get's even better. I stole my dad's mechanical pants. Using the gun attatched, were goanna shoot this mudokkon dummmy, showing our sligish pride." Said another slig. "Since you're new to us, you can shoot him first." Said the last slig as he handed the gun to Slaga. Slaga was shaking the gun in fear. He did not want to shoot a mudokkon, not even a dummy of one. "C'mon. Do it." Said a slig. All of a sudden, all the sligs were saying "do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!". Salga was struck with fear. If he didn't do this, the sligs would hate him and leave him. If he did, they would like him, but Slaga would feel guilty of what he did.
Suprisingly, he dropped the gun and crawled as fast as he could, far away from the other sligs. "That kid is wierd. I'll shoot the dummy." Said a slig. After running off, Slaga heard a gunshot. Slaga did a big sigh. He went on looking at the trees and plants.

How come people are ignoring my fan fiction? Wah!!!

odd chick · #9 03-10-2005, 05:11 PM

I'm not ignoring your fanfic, Sliguy! It was good. Poor Slaga!

Well, at least he did the right thing and didn't shoot the dummy.

Keep this story up because it's great!

sliguy101 · #10 03-11-2005, 04:14 AM

It was just that I've seen like 8 different people commenting a fan fiction. Right about now, I only have 2. It makes me dissapointed.

The Marching Mudokon · #11 03-11-2005, 05:05 AM

I like your story sliguy. It's a very sad story. I think your fanfic has a lot of potential. Keep it up.

odd chick · #12 03-11-2005, 12:00 PM

Yeah, I know what you mean. I wrote a poem a long time ago (at least before Christmas) in the Non Oddworld literature section and I didn't get any replies until about 2 days ago! But the thing is, at least you're getting replies. I was happy that I got replies for my poem even though they were really late ones!

Chapter 3: A long talk

After a few minutes, Slaga was called in again. Lou sat down with Slaga. "I want to talk to you." Said Lou. "I'm listening." Replied Slaga. "Slaga," Lou went on, "you are not like other sligs. You a different kind of slig." "I've realized that dad." Interupted Slaga. "I bet you have," Lou went on, "all the other sligs, as you can see, are excited of killing mudokkons and shooting things. You are interested of nature and kindness, which really concerns your mom and I." "Why can't sligs live any life they want?" Asked Slaga. "They can, darling. It's just that mostly other sligs choose the same path. I guess this nature and kindness thing just got you off track." Replied Lou. "I see." Said Slaga.
Slaga felt comfortable with this talk, even though it included evil things. "You can choose this path. It's just that your life could be more in danger if you choose this path." Said Lou. "I don't care if my life is in danger. I just want a better life for all of the other creatures." Replied Slaga. Lou did a big sigh. "I don't think that'll happen." Said Lou. "It's an odd world, ANYTHING can happen." Replied Slaga. "Slaga, when your 10 we shall find you a place to work and then you'll be like other sligs." Said Lou. Slaga did a big sigh. "I don't think that'll change." Replied Slaga.
Slaga sat in a corner of a house and start reading a book called, "The beauty Mother Nature. "Gimme that book." Ordered Lou. "No!" Rejected Slaga. "I've got an even better book." Said Lou. He walked upstairs for a minute and then came back with another book in his hand. He held it up to Slaga's face. It was titled "To kill a mudokkon" showing a mudokkon's head on a stick. "I can't believe you! My own father trying to change my life!" Exclaimed Slaga. He climbed all the way up the staits. Lou heard his door shut.
Lou went upstairs and knocked on his door. "Slaga, don't be like this." Ordered Lou. "I won't let you change my life!" Replied Slaga. Lou heard Slaga crying. "This is bad." Said Lou. Lou went back downstairs. "How am I going to get him to be evil?" Asked Lou. He sat in a chair and started thinking.

odd chick · #14 03-11-2005, 02:10 PM

Nice, Sliguy! That was the best chapter so far! This story really makes you feel bad for Slaga. I really like this story because I think that Slaga is a character that everyone can like. Keep it going!

The Marching Mudokon · #15 03-11-2005, 04:09 PM

I agree with Odd Chick, Slaga is a character everyone can like. Keep up the good work.

sliguy101 · #16 03-13-2005, 07:13 AM

Just a reminder, I don't update on weekends. Only on weekdays.

Abe16 · #17 03-13-2005, 11:43 AM

I'll be waiting for the weekdays!

Chapter 4: Running away

A little bit after Slaga went to bed, he realized something. He didn't have to live with his horrid parents. He could run away, live in nature's harmony and be free. She first looked at the positives. First off, his parents wouldn't tell him what to do and what to like. Second of all, he could be with nature for the rest of her life. Last off, she could finally be free. Then Slaga realized the negatives of running away. First off, she could be scared and then run back to the village. When he would run back, he would be in major trouble. Second of all, glukkons might chop down the forest he would be in, and then he would be in big trouble. He would've gone on, but all the negatives would get him in trouble.
He finally decided what he would do. He would run away to a new and peaceful forest where violence was not allowed. She would be free and study nature all she wanted. He got out of bed, crawled through the hallway, and carefully crawled down the stairs. He was able to go through a hole his dad made him so that he could get out without opening the door. Only his parents could open the door, Slaga was still too small. He went through the hole and made it outside. It was very dark. All the lights were out in the huts. He quickly crawled into the forest and started his journey.

odd chick · #19 03-14-2005, 04:04 PM

That was a good chapter, Sliguy. I noticed a few spelling errors, but that's ok because the content of this story is great!

I hope Slaga can escape!

sliguy101 · #20 03-15-2005, 01:51 PM

Chapter 5: Missing

When Slaga's parents woke up and looked in Slaga's room, they knew at first glance that he was gone. "Oh no!" Exclaimed Grily. She fainted and fell hard on the floor. A tear came down Lou's red eye. He got a water sprayer and sprayed some water on Grily's face. She got up, screamed, and slapped Lou on the face.
They went down to a nearby police station. They ran to the warden. "What can I do ya for?" Asked the warden in a western accent. "Our son is missing. Here's a picture." Said Grily as she handed a picture of Slaga to the warden. "I'll send out our best search team." Replied the warden. So the search party was sent out. They first looked in all of the villages in the slig forest, and then they look in other parts of the forest. It took 3 years to look for Slaga, but they didn't find a trace of him.
Lou and Grily were now crying in their hut. "We were horrible parents!" Exclaimed Grily. "Why couldn't we just let her live his own life?" Asked Lou. They kept on crying and wheeping.

Back where Slaga is:

He was finally living in mother nature, and so far, he was liking it. He drank from a nearby stream when she was thirsty. He learned to eat slurgs when he was hungry. He made fire, shelter, and custom made silverware. He was actually happy that he was away from his nature-killing parents.

odd chick · #21 03-15-2005, 03:40 PM

That was a good chapter, Sliguy. It's nice that Slaga is finally happy, but I'm sure it won't stay calm and pleasant for long, right?

Keep it up because it's getting even better than before.

Part 2: Age 7-12

Chapter 6: The glukkons are at it again

Slaga was still enjoying mother nature and it's beauty. It was incredible. Slaga though of it as candy to her eyes. While sitting on the dirt ground watching the sunset, he heard a strange sound. "Huh?" Said Slaga. He crawled as he got closer to the strange sound. Then he realized he was hearing the sound of a chainsaw. "Timber!" Yelled a person. A tree was about to fall of Slaga. He quickly crawled out of the way. "That was awesome, boss!" Exclaimed a slig. "Time for the next one." Said the glukkon.
'Those money-sucking glukkons!' Slaga thought to himself, 'I must follow them.' Slaga followed the footsteps. He heard the sound of the chainsaw again. It was making his brain scream. "Timber!" Said the glukkon. The tree fell down, and when it did, Slaga heard a scrab's cry. "Wow boss! You got a scrab!" Exclaimed the slig. "Scrabseye!" Exclaimed the glukkon. They both laughed as they went on. 'Oh my goodness. They don't even care about scrabs!' Thought Slaga. He kept following them.
They all saw a mudokkon by the river. "Hey, you there!" Exclaimed the slig. The mudokkon turned around. Before it could speak, it was shot. "Nice one!" Exclaimed the glukkon. "Just doing my job, boss." Replied the slig. "Let's go and get back to work." Ordered the glukkon. 'I must keep following them. I better just remember not to get caught.' Thought Slaga. He kept on following them for a long time.

odd chick · #23 03-16-2005, 10:42 PM

That chapter was great as always, Sliguy. I feel that Slaga is going to break really soon if he has to see another Scrab getting squashed or another Mudokon being shot. He's really going to go off on the Sligs and Glukkons if he sees them doing cruel things one more time, I believe. Keep up the good work with the story!

Chapter 7: Gentian's Brew

As Slaga followed the glukkon and slig, things were going through his mind. 'Who are these people? Why are they chopping down trees? Where are they going?' After Slaga got out of the forest, he saw a huge factory. It had a sign that said, 'Gentian's Brew'. When Slaga looked around, he saw coffles of mudokkons tugging on a huge rolling platform. On that platform was a huge pile of lumber. They were making their way to a sawing machine. When they stopped, sligs un-chained them.
They walked at the end of the rolling platform. They carried lumber to the sawing machine and threw it in. It made Slaga angry. He kept up the pace and caught up with the glukkon and the slig. "You there!" Exclaimed a slig. The glukkon and the slig turned around.
"Why hello there. My name is Gentian." The glukkon said. "I can see your interested in getting a job, yes?" Asked the slig. Then, a bright idea came to Slaga's mind. "Yes. May I join?" Asked Slaga. "Of course, but first you need some pants." Replied Gentian. "Follow us." Ordered the slig. So Slaga followed them to a 'Getcha Pants' machine. "Press the big green button." Ordered Gentian. Without hessitation Slaga pressed the button. He found himself now in mechanical pants. "What is your name?" Asked Gentian. "Slaga." Replied Slaga. "Come with me Slaga." Ordered Gentian. Slaga followed him into the factory.

odd chick · #25 03-18-2005, 02:53 PM

Oooh, I have a feeling that something interesting is going to happen with Slaga, the glukkon and the other slig!

That was a good chapter, Sliguy. Keep it going!

sliguy101 · #26 03-23-2005, 03:15 PM

Chapter 8: Gertian's office

Slaga had followed Gertian and the slig through. Slaga saw the hard-working mudokkons pulling swiches, pressing buttons, and carrying heavy items. He followed Gertian and the slig to a door. It said, 'The office of Gertian Chillowic: Founder of Gertian's Brew.' When they have went in, Slaga saw a cramped office with a fairly small desk. Slaga sat down along with Gertian on the other side of the desk.
"Now, before we sign you in, you must answer a few questions." Said Gertian. "Okay." Replied Slaga. "Age?" Asked Gertian. Slaga was nervous by then. They aren't going to accept a seven-year-old here. He decided to fake his age. "Ten." "Okay. Why do you think you'd be a good employee?" Asked Gertian. Slaga then thought again for a moment. "Well. I know what trees to cut down." Replied Slaga. "What do you mean." Asked Gertian. "I know the kinds of trees with the freshest lumber, and I also know where to find them." Replied Slaga. "Excellent. We need lumber to work on our top secret project." Said Gertian. "What secret project?" Asked Slaga. "Can't tell you. Our employees must not know." Replied Gentian. Gentian was writing on a piece of paper. "Sign this and you're official." Ordered Gentian.
Slaga signed on the line and shook Gentians hand. "Welcome to Gentians Brew." Said Gentian. "I'll show you to your possition." Said the slig. The slig lead Slaga out of Gentian's office and the factory.

Abe16 · #27 03-23-2005, 03:39 PM

These are really good chapters keep it up.

odd chick · #28 03-23-2005, 06:12 PM

That chapter was interesting, Sliguy. I can't wait to read the next one!

sliguy101 · #29 03-28-2005, 07:09 AM

Chapter 9: The first years working

Slaga didn't enjoy working at Gertian's Brew, but he thought it was a good chance at setting free mudokkons. When he was hired, he was put to work on a chainsaw. He was given lessons on how to use it. When he started, he was very nervous. It was wierd when he cut down a tree. Every time he would do it, he would feel a powerful aching in his soul. A painful yet strange feeling.
He had realized the mudokkons never had days off. Also mudokkons could never ever slack off. If a slig saw a mudokkon slacking off of his or her work, he or she would be tazed and beaten with a nightstick. It was a good thing that Slaga let the mudokkons slack off. He had also realized other things, too. Nobody in the factory celebrated eachother's birthday. That was a good thing for Slaga though. If he told Gertian that it was his 8th birthday, he would kick Slaga out of the factory, never getting a chance to work there ever again.
After a few years working in the woods, Slaga was promotied to walk around the factory and watch the mudokkons work. This was a very good thing for Slaga. It would be a nice chance to free them or let them slack off of their work. But he didn't do that just yet. He needed to wait until the time was right, which could take a long time. Soon, all the mudokkons will run in the forest and the glukkons and sligs will be crushed.

EXTRA CHAPTER!!!

Chapter 10: Slaga gone mad

Slaga was now 10. Word had gone out that new sligs were getting hired. 'Must be evil sligs as ushual,' thought Slaga. The new sligs came out of Gertian's office. "I like your attitudes, boys!" Exclaimed Gertian. "We're happy to work here." Replied one of the sligs. There were 3 sligs following another one. Finally, Slaga had a horrid flashback. He could see himself, pointing a gun at a dummy of a mudokkon with kids saying, "do it! Do it! Do it!" Slaga was back in reality. "It can't be." Said Slaga to himself.
The 3 sligs were hired with the same job Slaga had. Every time the sligs were near, Slaga would always hide. The 3 sligs killed 5 mudokkons alltogether everyday. Gertian did not worry about that. Slaga was pondering why. Well, there were 2 reasons.
The first one was that the factory had over 5,000 mudokkons in it. About 45 are killed in the factory every day, though. The next reason was that he had 30 new mudokkon slaves come in every day. When the factory was running low on mudokkons, they would tell all the sligs not to shoot them for a short period of time. If they shot one during that period, the slig would be fired.
Something bad had happened that one day when the sligs were hired. At sunset they had spotted Slaga. "Hey, your that kid!" Exclaimed one of the sligs. "Kid? What kid?" Asked Slaga. He was quickly trying to cut the conversation. "That kid that couldn't even shoot a dummy of a mudokkon." Said another slig. They had all joined in an insult chant that kept saying, "wierdo! Wierdo! Wierdo! Wierdo!" Slaga fell to the gorund grabbing his head. Finally, Slaga could not take it anymore. "Shut up!" He yelled as loud as he could. Slaga grabbed his gun and shot the 3 sligs.
There was slilence. Deadly silence. All the sligs were looking at him. Gertian stepped out of his office and saw the 3 sligs dead. "Slaga. Did you do this?" Asked Gertian. "Yes." Replied Slaga softly. "I'm not going to fire you. I'm going to give you 5 months in prison." Said Gertian. Two sligs grabbed Slaga and carried him away. Slaga could believe himself. Was this his darkside? What caused this? "Back to work." Ordered Gertian as he walked away. The sligs had went back to work. Silently.

odd chick · #30 03-28-2005, 01:48 PM

Woah, I knew that Slaga was going to lose it sometime!

Great chapters, Sliguy!
