War

 

One day Jack was walking in the forest and all of a sudden he stumbled on a tree root and hit his head on a rock. Slowly, he got up and peered around. He saw a bunch of apes huddling, trying to keep warmth. He started to walk away until snap, it was a twig. The apes turned around and slowly backed up, but one was not afraid and stood out tall and strong in the disdains. Then he realized, it was Congar the ape he took care of.  

 

8 years earlier

 

In Paris, France, 2005 Jack Stone , scientist of Os-corp was developing a new serum that could make any animal smarter and genetically faster and stronger.

TEST 38, screams the secondary scientist. Next test subjects, apes.

“This one I call Congar,” says the manager. I think it’s going to work on him. Jack injected the serum into Congar and waited until it came into effect. Jack the head scientist walked over to his his boss Jeff and asked him if he could take care of the ape, but Mr. Schall said, “no” in a stern voice. Then all of a sudden BEEP x5, the sprinklers turned on and people started to Avac Kuwait the building. Jack took advantage a grabbed the ape and brought him home. He tried to teach him some tricks before the serum kicked in, but he wasn’t smart enough yet.

 

That was a dark and stormy night on Friday the 13 and no one could fall asleep. You could see Congar bundled up on the sofa. The next day Jack woke up early in the morning to go to work, but then he realized that Congar was still sleeping. So he picked him up and brought him to Os corp.

 

“Where’s that ape?” said Jeff the company owner. “We need to see if the serum worked or not.”

Then out of nowhere Jack said, “I have him.”

“How dare you take that ape when I specifically told you not to!”

“But sir…”

“But nothing- you’re fired,” screamed Jeff.

At that same moment one of the test subjects was loose. It was the tiger. It started to race down the hall straight towards Jeff and Jack It leaped in the air and landed on Jeff, it ripped his arm off like it was a twig. The tiger turned around and started to walk towards Jack with blood dripping down his face. Jack started to run, it was right behind him, when it scratched his left shoulder. A split second after there was no tiger, just a pile of bones.

 

Jack was relieved that the tiger was gone, but how? He thought about it for couple minutes, then Congar woke up.

 

As soon as he got home the serum kicked in. Jack started small with the training and gradually got bigger. First he taught him how to spell his name, then how to build blocks and lastly he taught him sign language. When Congar got to about 5 years old he got his own room in the attic. Every day he would dream about going outside, but only if he was a good ape.

 

Then one day he got to anxious and ran outside when was not supposed to. Then he saw Jack getting bullied by his assistant. So Congar ran over and ripped his finger off like it was some kind of food.


“No Congar,” said Jack with a stern voice.

With a confused look Congar said, “Ou ou a a?”

Jack got to work late but it all worked out in the end. He was the nominee for the owner of the company and was trying to figure out how that tiger died. After 2 weeks of studying he finally got it. When the tiger was chasing Jack it got distracted by picture of meat on the wall, as he was running   towards it  he banged into a skeleton. How did he know this? Well, there was a giant hole in the meat picture and the skeleton in jim’s office was broken. So he assumed that it was the tiger.

Everything was going fine when all of a sudden, bang.  The lab was hit by a asteroid. It burned down the whole building and killed 6 men, but luckily Jack wasn’t one of them. Their research was gone with the test subjects. Jack’s future was destroyed and he had nothing to do. Congar was 13 now and he was becoming a grown ape. Jack was worried about one thing and one thing only, if Congar was going to get taken away. Oscorp, was an illegal building hidden in lower Manhattan. If the animal patrol found out they would take Congar away. The next day Jack saw the animal patrol coming to his house, Jack tried to hide, but it was too late they already took Congar and shoved him in a van before jack could realize.  Just like that, Congar was gone.

 

It was a bumpy ride for for the poor ape  but he slowly learned to hold on and gain his balance. He was pushed out of the van and put into a cage. He soon learned, he was going to war. Well he needed to exercise so they put him in a ragged jungle gym. The mean gorilla Louie, was the bully of the gym, and since Congar was the new ape he wouldn’t stop bothering and hurting him. He even put an orangutan in a cage. Congar started to assume that something bad happened when he was little. When he got a closer look at his face, bam, Congar was right, there was a big scar on his right eye.

 

 He started to make friends with the orangutan and even taught him sign language. He missed Jack, but he soon got over it.
