Well, I've been writing this story for a while now, and it's over 1.5 thousand words, so pretty long - I would like to see what you guys think about it currently
Here it is:
The Cellroom.
It all started in the town of Livensdale. John woke up to find a tube (well, what looked like one) up his nose.
“Eurgh!” he yelled. A camera was in the corner of the dark, rocky room he was in. He screamed for help. However, it wasn't possible. An armed guard came in holding a sub-machine gun.
“Food.” the guard pronounced with a very strong accent. A plate in front of him held a potato, probably uncooked – with a can of beans next to it.
The guard left. “How am I supposed to cook this food?” The camera turned to his direction (with slow speed) – he felt something in his head sting. As far as John gathered, he was underground. Two plump women entered the room.
"We are the Aperture operatives. We mean you no harm." The first woman addressed him.
"We are going to make you a Super Soldier. A new formula we have – To make you stronger than ever." The other woman mentioned.
"What if I don't want to be a Super Soldier?" John yelled.
"Then we will have no choice but to shoot you." - The first woman again.
At that point, both women Raised pistols, but these weren't any pistols; they were Super Shot Duo2's.
"Alright, alright, ill do it." John muttered. "But they can’t control me" He snarled under his breath.
The Super Soldier Formula
John was put to sleep. He knew he was going to have the operation before he was put to sleep. The procedure for the formula was complicated, injecting him with the formula in one place, moving the body through a scanner, and then injecting him again in another place. The procedure seemed to take ages. When the procedure was finally finished, John woke up not knowing anything, and the two women introduced themselves again, and the surgeon who made him who he was now. John was trained to test his strength, agility, Stamina and lots of other things. The training was placed for a whole week, well what seemed a week to John, but it was only a few hours for the women. At last, the training finally finished. John (now called Test Subject 9) was sweating like a cloth that wasn't wringed out properly. John was now a Super Soldier. He was ready.
"Test Subject 9, you are now a Super Soldier, but first you need to prove to us that we can trust you; we implanted a bomb at the back of your head. If anything happens, you run away or you don't obey orders, Boom." The first woman said softly. Notably, John had completely changed, like he had been brainwashed. "Bah" The surgeon spluttered "What's my pay for this? I'd like it to be a minimum of quarter of a million. At MINIMUM, I said."A hum came from a vent above the room, probably used to air the room out. "Only if you pay me this much, you need to pay attention otherwise, you can ignore me."
'He's crazy.' T42 thought...
Boring days as a Soldier
A large sign read
[PICTURE HERE]
And lots of people gathered to the stage where standing was, again a plump, short sighted woman. She was the he council governor. People protested around the stage, most of them were survivor Russians. "NOT ALL OF THE RUSSIANS WERE KILLED!” The protesting Russians were deafeningly yelling.
"BE QUIET!!!!!!" The council governor screamed through her microphone.
“Now, we are here to memorise the happenings of a few days ago, when the nuclear bomb in Russia detonated and caused almost all of the Russians.
Test Subject 9 (or for short TS9), the Super Soldier, was looking outside of his cell window. He had been in there all night and was getting bored. Rain was pouring down – as usual British weather was. A speaker blared into life and managed to fuzz out: "TS9, you are required of assistance." TS9 waited for a guard to open the door – but he saw it open automatically. TS9 headed out and to the lab where he was yesterday. "Wat’s up??” He mumbled as he sat down.
"Well, first you can wipe that smirk off of your face. Secondly, three yeas ago a robbery was committed – Not just any robbery; It was a robbery from people in the future. Thirdly, we need your help." The woman from yesterday stated. "TIME TRAVEL? I mean; all that paradox-like stuff is sure to have destroyed the universe by now?” TS9 muttered. He just wanted to sleep.
‘I have no idea how I’m going to do this...' He thought.
"Well, this robbery caused an old nuclear submarine on one of Russia’s shores to go into meltdown – aka it blew up. Aperture rules the world though, so our Russian operatives should have helped prevent the explosion. But they didn’t.” That woman had said like a machine.
“Our leader, code name ‘HAaAI’ or the Human Android and Artificial Intelligence is indestructible – but he rarely gets into combat. Our leader tried to prevent the Arcadian War from starting, between out-of-service Android Bots, and obviously humanity." The other woman stated.
"The Arcadian war started two days after the robbery. The Russians were lost during the war. We should have used force, I tell you, force."
‘Wait, what kind of force?’ TS9 thought
"We needed as much Laser we could get. Only the Laser's were strong enough to kill them, but they were hard to make."
TS9 had just got comfy in his seat as the tone of the main woman’s voice changed from a harsh, computerised like voice, to a soft woman-like voice
"We are going to take you back in time – to stop these robbers from taking a fuel rod from one of the sub’s nuclear reactors and causing it to explode."
The woman stopped for a while, to regain breath. A screen came out of nowhere and told him the rest of the information he requested. Soon after, he was off...
The Easiest thing in your life
‘Time travel’s got to be easy – knowing these people. Probably.’ TS9 had thought. But he was soon to find out that Time travel isn’t as hard as it seems – from the naked eye...
“Bring me the plan for all new service-droids; I want to check that they’re all legitimate and ready for being mass produced.” HAaAI had told his computer screen. At about the same time he completed the sentence, the computer was whirring into action - searching for the plans and then showing them on screen.
“Good.” He said. “GLaDOS, are the main reactors functional?” He asked thin air.
A voice out of nowhere had replied “Almost, sir. I’m just preparing the main reactor tick – It needs to be carefully aimed to get the most energy from one particle.” GLaDOS was preparing the main reactor core – a hard job which only precise computers could do. Luckily for HAaAI and GLaDOS, they were both the most advanced systems on the planet, meaning they could do almost anything. “There. Sir, main reactors are online. Should I keep a close watch on them, to ensure that nuclear meltdown doesn’t occur?” GLaDOS said, with her feminine voice.
“Yeah, keep a close eye on it – who knows what is possible to happen with a nuclear reactor” HAaAI had agreed. In a second, GLaDOS asked “Sir, there’s a request for a time travel sphere, at co-ordinates 98.53 E 98.35 N – should I accept the request and send a time sphere?”
HAaAI thought for a second.
“Who requested it?” He asked in response.
“An Aperture Operative” she replied.
“Hmm. Send it. I don’t understand why they’d want a sphere, but oh well. If they change the past, I can easily fix it. Hopefully.” HAaAI acknowledged; looking upon the plans like a fine comb through hair.
Bad weather gets you down
“Bad weather... Ugh... I hate bad weather.” HAaAI sighed out loud. It was raining. HAaAI was flying around on Earth, as there was a problem with one of the Earth Shield stations – a giant pillar generator for helping to produce a giant shield to protect Earth. It had broken, and HAaAI had to fix it. According to the Station’s self diagnostics, the main generator core had malfunctioned and shut itself down to prevent damage. HAaAI talked about it; “I don’t get why this single station Generator malfunctioned – others using the exact same plan haven’t malfunctioned, unless this one has been compromised. That’s probably what happened. I’ll fix it.”
HAaAI flew around the Earth Shield station, checking for any areas of forced entrance. There were none. However, HAaAI knew that the emergency entrance for the station was at the top – he was wondering how anyone could have gotten into the entrance, as air pressure was too low for any normal person to breathe. The entrance had an airlock; so the inside air was breathable to normal humans - but while active no human should enter the area. HAaAI was sure that no human could have entered the area, so he decided to go inside and check the station. He entered through the airlock, and immediately saw what the inside looked like. It was like a black, oily liquid was oozing down the side of all the walls; and some odd wires were connected to the Main control panel of the station. As soon as the airlock’s second door closed tight, all of this black ‘stuff’ burst into life and formed a black body, with tentacles on the back. The tentacles had just formed as they shot toward HAaAI, and the black body had started to speak.
“Hello, HAaAI. I’ve been waiting for you. Shall I introduce myself?” it asked like a sarcastic person.
“What or who are you, what do you want?” HAaAI shouted out loud, dodging the tentacles like a boss.
“You don’t remember me? Well, my name is Black Ace. Yeah. You remember me now, don’t you?” Black ace replied. “I’m here to kill you, and destroy the earth. I had a long thought since you last sucked me into space.”
“How did you get back? And you can’t kill me, I’ve changed!” HAaAI angrily yelled, after a few more dodges of Black Ace’s tentacles.
To be continued and wrote more of Please tell me what you think of it as I would love to know.

I don't like it
im sorry but it's true!
i'l explain why though
I read a couple sentences!
"It all started in the town of Livensdale. John woke up to find a tube (well, what looked like one) up his nose.
“Eurgh!” he yelled. A camera was in the corner of the dark, rocky room he was in. He screamed for help. However, it wasn't possible. An armed guard came in holding a sub-machine gun.

The guard left. “How am I supposed to cook this food?” The camera turned to his direction (with slow speed) – he felt something in his head sting." Is what I read
i'm not gonna be super picky but SHOW, DON'T TELL
this is the biggest rule
also don't say "(with slow speed)" in brackets
it's absolutely pointless
instead try 'slowly"

Er, no offense, but 1500 words isn't really that long.

Um. Lemme try not to be mean here...
First off, 1500 words isn't long at all. I can type that in twenty minutes.
Second, your descriptions are lacking. Like bananaman114 said, SHOW don't TELL. Huge difference. You are only saying "John had a tube up his nose". You aren't describing anything there. You're only telling us.
Third, your chapters are way too short, and your story is too fast-paced. If you want to write a long story, it's better to let it flow at a good pace, and allow all the main turn of events to happen much later in the story. There should be some things building up before it. This is how it works for any book.
There's my verdict.
