Chapter 1:
Minotaur mission
The Isle of Crete... Here in a deep dark labyrinth, a half-man, half-bull creature known as the minotaur, slumbers. His rest was long, but one day, a person wandered in, waking him. The person was devoured in an instant, but left behind something odd.
It was a small thin brick, which if pressed in certain places, displayed a scene of a man walking around a strange metropolis filled with strange carriages with small black wheels. By tapping, the minotaur, whom we'll refer to as, Miny, was able to make the man do all sorts of things.
Punch people, shove them to the ground, steal their carriages and boats. Occasionally, the man would be slain, but would return to normal a second later. Miny spent all his time fiddling with this tablet, until one day, the tablet stopped working. All it would show now was a weird symbol with a feint red glow, infuriating Miny.
"Need... Need more..."
And thus, Miny ventured out of his labyrinth, miraculously finding his way outside. Though perhaps this wasn't miraculous for the folks gathered outside, as upon seeing them, Miny began attacking them, killing quite a few of them.
"MONSTER! IT'S THE MINOTAUR!" a man screamed as Miny charged towards him and impaled him with his horns.
The man let out a pained scream before going quiet. He was dead. Miny quickly threw him off and charged for a carriage that looked just like the ones the tablet had showed him. Hoping in, he was met with a strange wheel, and a variety of knobs and buttons.
"This not shown!"
Miny slammed his fist down on one of the buttons, causing the carriage to make a sound. The black surface in the middle suddenly lit up, displaying lots of weird symbols Mini had never seen before.
"This... This interesting..."
Wee-oo! Wee-oo!
Miny perked up as he recognized the sound.
"Police! Freeze!" some men shouted.
"That... That just like me saw," Miny thought as he slammed his hoof down, causing the carriage to start moving.
The carriages with the flashing red and blue lights quickly gave chase, but soon came to a halt as Miny himself found his carriage unable to move.
"Why it not move!? Why it say, 'Key not found'!? Me don't see no keyhole!" Miny fumed as he smashed up the dashboard and leapt out.
The police slowly got out of their carriages and held small black boxes in their hands as they approached Miny.
"Hands above your head!" one ordered.
Miny raised his hands above his head.
"Separate them! Don't hold-"
Smash!
The other police man recoiled in horror as the now headless body of his comrade fell to the ground. "MONSTER!" he shouted as he began firing something out of the box in his hands.
Whatever it was, it didn't scratch Miny's skin.
"They use that on slab. It hurt man, it not hurt me," Miny thought as he walked up to the policeman, snatched away his weapon, then lifted him with one hand before hurling him high into the air behind him.
A loud scream was heard, stopping only after the sound of a loud splat.
Miny slowly began walking away, but stopped when he stepped on something. Lifting up his hoof, he noticed a tablet similar to the one in his labyrinth, albeit with a cracked surface thanks to him stepping on it.
"This look like tablet. Do they have more here? ... Me must find more."
And with that, he hopped in one of the carriages with a flashing light atop it and drove off.Along the way, Miny saw various carriages which he tried to ram into. However, many avoided him just as quickly as he approached.
"This carriage... It scare them away," Miny mumbled.
"POLICE! GET OUT OF OUR PROPERTY!" a voice shouted.
Miny glanced out the window to see a swarm of carriages with lights chasing after him. And in front of him, a blockade of those same carriages.
"Now I ram!" Miny thought as he let out a roar and increased the speed of the carriage.
As he got closer to the blockade, a figure suddenly slammed down on the ground before him. He was clad in Quaker attire and had a head made of dandelion fluff.
"Who this?" Miny thought as he continued to speed forward.
The figure began to tap dance. "Dandy Dan, Dandy Dan, Dan, Dan. Dandy-"
Smash!
The figure screamed as he flew off into the distance.
"This just like me did with tablet," Miny thought as he reached the blockade.
"HE'S GONNA RAM US!" an officer cried as Miny's carriage slammed into the blockade, sending carriages flying.
Miny's own carriage was wrecked, but still functioned, as evidenced by the fact of him driving away.
"Declare a national emergency! Some crazy guy dressed up like a minotaur is causing havoc in a stolen squad car!" an officer barked as he picked himself up.
"What if that thing really is a minotaur?" another officer trembled.
"As if! Mythology is just that, mythology."
"What was that then?"
"A freak in a suit, probably high on drugs. But considering the damage he's done, he'll be treated like he's the most wanted man in the world. Maybe he thought he could take the police, but the military? Different story."
...
Miny looked up as a wall of giant blocks with small thin pillars on them blocked his path.
"THIS IS THE MILITARY! HALT OR WE'LL-"
Miny sped up.
"FIRE!"
The pillars suddenly began blasting out fire, with one destroying Miny's carriage. However, Miny, just leapt through the flames and onto one of the blocks.
"HE'S ON TOP! TROOPS, FIRE!"
A swarm of men then ran up and began blasting things at Miny, however, whatever they were blasting at him simply bounced off his hide.
"These annoying. They rocks? Bugs? Don't like!" Miny thought as he grabbed one of the blocks and hurled it at the men.
Screams rang out as the block decimated most of the men, while the remaining ones began running away.
...
A man scowled as he stared at a broadcast of what was unfolding. "So there's no choice then. If the military can't stop him, we'll have to call the experts."
