the year is 2075, i am a part of the protect, and lead program formed by the underground. and these are dark times. this is my story.
my name is Zach, and it all started in 2070 when the U.S. put that new president in office. he was part of a religious extremist group that kept saying "gays are sinners, they are a bad influence." well after he got in office it all started to downfall. the congress then became mainly the part of the same extremist group, and together they put the new act in action. they said that gays had to show themselves, and made as they called it "sodomy" a crime. they also outlawed firearms as a way of trying to prevent outbeaks of protestors or freedom fighters. after that all firearms were illegally obtained or in the army. but, bladed weapons were sill very legal, so all gang wars, freedom fighters, and many homes, had swords, knives, daggers, all sorts of blades. after that we started running, a few of the gay leaders created an underground. "the rainbow underground" is what they called it.
it must have been 2 years before they tried to take me. i was working in a gay bar at the time this all happened. a nice place called the arbitar, i was a Gogo dancer working for the owner named buck. one night, the arbitar got raided, police swarmed us, but i was near the back at the time. i managed to slip out with a guy named ching fi. i knew little about ching, but i got to know him after a while. he worked at a martial arts studio on the west side of town, a little ways away from where my appartment used to be. me and ching, i called him chi for short, ran like heck until a couple of hooded guys told us to come with them. they were protectors from the ranbow underground. they heard that the police were moving in on the arbitar and they snuck around back trying to get anybody they could help to the underground. we got in a van, where there must have been at least 5 other people where we rode out of town for about 5 miles, parked the van around back of a little diner that was a safe haven for gays at the time. it was owned by a couple of liberal elderly people and was ran by their daughter. their son was part of the underground, he got away from the "Sodomy Suppression Force" or the SSF, but his boyfriend didn't.
we were then led in to the woods where it was very easy to get lost, a great place for an underground. we then were lead through a cave, through a maze of tunnels. and in to a large underground safe house where there must have been a hundred people, all gay. the men that saved us were part of the protect and lead program, they protect the underground and they would be the front line if we ever had to fight the SSF. they also lead gays to the underground. the place that they took us was the safehouse of our city. it was big because our city was big, but it wasn't close to the rainbow underground city. we were told that the rainbow underground city was carved with explosives, was under water. in a grotto, where there was a downward facing entrance, to keep all the air in. it is on an island somewhere, and they have a whole lush forest underground to keep oxygen supplies great, and for wood. its like a whole huge city. they told stories of it lit up all the time, where there were no windows, so people could sleep on their own scheduel, but they wouldn't have to indure the bright lights on the streets. everyone was accepting because they all know how it is to be discriminated agianst, they had to go in to hiding because of it. they told us many other stories, and it sounded so wonderful. i could not wait until we could go there. the people that were part of the "underground railroad" were taken to the underground city in groups of fourteen, two each day, so that there would be fourteen each week. they didn't take them in large numbers because there is less suspician in smaller numbers. so, i had to wait, and at the time, there would be a very long wait. i was at the last of the list.
they told me to get a partner, this would be the person i would room with until the wait, and travel with when the time came. me and ching partnered up, and they showed us our little place, it was mainly a small room, with a bunk bed, a table, and a lamp. their was also a small refrigerator where we could put the food that came in every week. they sent it in bulk, from the resteraunt, it wasn't much, but it would keep us alive. the safehouse was built in a cave that had a spring, so we had warm water for bathes, but it wasn't healthy to drink, so they also sent gallons of water, enough for one gallon every two days for everybody. it wasn't much, not nearly as good as what the underground city sounded like, but it was definately well organized, and safe. as we waited, ching taught me how to do martial arts, we had plenty of time, and i learned fast. plus it was a great way of exercising. soon after i was done learning, we trained, as another way of keeping busy, and keeping exercised. the word started going around and people started watching. they then wanted to learn, so ching started a small group, where he taught them how to protect themselves in a fight.
that day finally came, where they came and told us that we would have to go quietly, bacause we were going at night. there was more chance of them suspecting something if they caught us, but there was a less chance of them catching us. and they would rather have them not catch us, than to pretend we are heterosexual people. so we set off. it would be a long ride, so we brought all the necessities, food for three days, blankets, pillows, and other toiletries. we rode for about a day, we were just comming in to a new ciry, and police stopped us. they came to the window and the conversation went something like "hey, what are you guys doing here?" the Protect And Lead we call them pals replied "we are going to a football game, its our favorite team and we have been driving for quite a while now. we're all tired and can't wait until we get to the city for the game, and we can settle down in a hotel room. but if we stop for too long on the way, we will miss it." the officer then wanted him to step out and talk to him, he did so and they talked. i couldn't hear what they said to each other because they were outside, but a couple minutes later the pal came back in and said we're ready to go. we then set off once agian, this time without any interuptions.
we got to the beach after a couple days, where one of the pals, his name was blake, led us to a cave where we found a small motor boat. the other pal took the van back, to get another two people. we boated for a few hours to a small island, where we rested for a day in a small hut that was made by the underground, we filled up, and we set off agian. we boated for about three days, stopping at various islands to rest and fill the boat up with gas. after a while of boating on the third day, we reached an "abandoned" island. it was huge, yet mainly a dense rainforest. the rainforest was difficult to navigate through, having deadly snakes, and many other preditory animals. but we made it to a cave, which we went down, and found a spring. we dived in to the spring, finding our way to another spring in a small opening underground, where the only ways to get to this place was in the spring we just through, and another spring, which led to an enormous underground aquifer. inside the room there were diving equipment, which we put on, and dived in to the aquifer. after a while of swimming, we reached a large opening, where we swam up into. there was a lush forest where we came up in, and a path made of bricks. we followed the path to find a beautiful stone city.
