The survival of normal human beings when the apocalypse is coming. |
| [Introduction]
Basically, an EMP bomb has gone off across the world. Everything electronical in some parts are down. Everybody thinks it is the coming of Apocalypse and WWIII. Death is coming in many different forms. Pick a character with no abilities. None. No weapons to start off with and can only keep normal weapons unless the circumstances permit it becasue the government is still there but not as effective. Rule by your hand alone. Choose whether to be evil or good or somewhat inbetweeen. Make alliances and hope for the best. Support the government or down with the government! |
[] thought brackets She had hidden in this belltower in her town waiting for the electricity to turn itself back on. Her father had told her to hide there. She heard the footsteps on the ladder up to the floor she was on. "Who is it?" she yelled, voice quivering in fear. She looked around wanting to have a weapon or something, anything, to defend herself with. Nothing, not even a pipe. [We kept it too clean!] she thought, [Oh Lord, what am I going to do? Please save my virgin body, please save me.] She saw the figure, shrouded in darkness, stand up and laugh at their good fortune. With amusement in his voice he spoke "I cannot believe my luck. A girl. I escaped hail and came to hide in the watchtower and my gift is a girl. I am goig to have fun with you my darling little toy." She began to think and remembered there was only one person in this small peaceful town's jail, a serial rapist. She began to stand up, in fear, when he commented on her clothed form. "Beautiful and full breasts, shapely hourglass form, I will enjoy this greatly" The dark form made a motion to pull a shirt over his head. [He is intending to rape me!] She began to cry and grope gehind her back until she felt a hard mettallic object press into her back. She felt it. A lever. She pulled it down and it did nothing at all. She pulled it again and nothing. The rapist advanced toward her still she could not see his face or form. She shied away from him and he siezed her left forearm with his muscular, sweaty hands. The other sweaty hand went up her loose t-shirt but before it could cup a breast, she kneed him in the groin, hard. His hands went to cup his pained area while she blindly fumbled in the dark, trying to get away from him. "Dumb Bitch! I was going to make it enjoyable for you" , he muttered, trying to control the pain within his groin and stand up. She looked to see if she was being persuded when she fell through an unexpected hole. She fell what felt a lifetime and landed on a concrete floor 10 feet below. Agony shot through her back and right arm as she rose to her feet to run out the door of the belltower and to her house and her parents, [hopefully]. |
| So much destruction A figure stood on top of a 54-floor skyscraper, his long brown hair danced along his face and his long leather jacket also flying in the hot air. As he looked down on the rumble and devastation, he could see people, confused and scared. People were screaming and shouting, a selected word had been yelled at least 23 times. “Apocalypse” The boy smiled to himself as he watched people running into buildings and trying to save people. He knew that it was hopeless. Just so much Destruction. If the Earth had a voice, everyone could have heard it scream in pain. The boy slowly walked towards the exit when suddenly he heard a horrible crashing noise. The skyscraper opposite had finally lost its balance; it rocked side by side as suddenly. It plunged towards the earth like a missile. The sound was horrifying as people screamed and steel work rattled across the dead street. Bodies’ lay spread everywhere as the boy finally retreated down the stairs. Before leaving he said “So much destruction, how many people died today. Yet, I still live?” |
| Darien Watched as his "Superiors" destroyed all the evidence that pointed the explosian to them. Of course they hadn't taken into consideration that tyr had already made back-ups and copys of all the files and programs. They must have thought that since he was working for them, that he wouldn't betray them. Darien turned around and left the range of the fire light, into the darkness. He looked sadisticly torwards the moon, his eyes softened, and a tear flowed down his cheek, as a sudden burst from the flame flashlit the place, his dark form sliding through the trees, as his "superiors" burnt to a crisp. As his shadow flowed through the twylight he once again looked to the moon, and with a emotional yet cold voice he whispered to himself, "Kendrix........" |
| She arrived at her road, still in pain, when she began to notice the difference in her surroundings. She sniffed the air, a putrid burnt flesh odor permeated the air. She hastened her painful walk, wishing she had stolen a car from anywhere. She arrived at the house then she knew what the smell was. She closed her eyes from the sight. She screamed and began to weep uncontrollably. A crucifix was in her front yard, burnt. There was a body on it. This was the descreation of something holy. Her father's charred and blackened body was upon it. He was dead. Her father was dead and she could do nothing about it. She screamed again in anguish. More tears fell to the ground as she dropped to her knees. Her father was a nice man and did not deserve to be crucified and burnt alive. But her mother... was she still alive? Was she? Drying her eyes, she pushed hereself up to standing and walked to the door and walked inside the two story house to a sight that startled her. It was her mother, hanging from the second floor. She was nude. Thoughts passed through her mind of her father yelling at her to hid in the clocktower while he ran off. He cam to find his wife, her mother. Arriving, he found her being raped or the rapists outside waiting for him. They subdued her father and crucified him. They started a fire and turned to their original prey, her mother, as her father screamed in pain as the lifegiver took his life away on the cross that suppressed his life. They raped her until each was satisfied, then strung the cord of rope that ended her life. Their daughter ran out the door she had entered and ran and kept going until she reached the harbor. Need to find somebody in New York City that would help me, she thought, hoping that the person would still be alive. |
Now walking slowly through the barren waste streets. Soul strolled through the burning cars, blazing houses and even burnt corpses. He closed his eyes, remembering the horror of the explosion that claimed so many lives. Some people would say he witnessed Hell first hand and he still lived to tell the tale. As Soul passed a blazing bus with dead hands hanging out of them, he heard a horrible screaming noise of in the distance. “Trouble!!” He said as he ran straight towards the cold alleys to find his way. His long brown hair flocked as he stopped to look over a corner and to his surprise he saw a huge man pulling a defenceless young woman into a shop. As she screamed, Soul picked up a cold pipe from the floor and slowly ran after them. |
| Darien watched as a girl was nearly raped from one of the front windows of some store on third st. He watched as some hero came to her rescue. He listened to there conversations. About there wealth of food, about there plans on how to keep it. He watched as they boarded the windows, rearanged the furniture in the store to hide a cellar door. At last they were leaving. Darien had decided to follow them to this old man's stash, if the geezer is still breathing it be much easier to take him out first. |
| She reached the harbor in good time. Her father's yacht and nearly all the other boarswere left untouched from the carnage in town. "Gather all the supplies from every vessel before dark then get underway." She said outloud to herself. The vast chore of loading her fathers yacht with supplies from others was difficult but she managed to find a shotgun, a handgun, fishing poles, a harpoon, food, and many other things like a change of clothing. As she boarded the yacht with the first load, she heard a voice that was strangely familiar... "Well if it isn't the whore from the clocktower!" It was the rapist. She looked again and found him at the plank which boarded the vessel. He began to walk up it and she grabbed the nearest object, the harpoon. "Get the hell away from me!" she yelled and swund the harpoon like a baseball bat. Clunk. It was a jarring blow to her hands and the side of the rapist's head. He fell into the wate and she was left holding a slightly bent harpoon. She dropped it in horror of the atrocious deed that she had committed. "I'm getting away from here," she spoke again. Up came the plank and she unfurled the sail to allow it begin its descent out the harbor. |
| “Guess what I found” Soul said as he pulled up the side of the shop with a motorbike. “Does it still work??” Elly said as she ran her hand over it. “Yeah, It must have to turned off before the big BOOM” She nodded as she sat on the back, gripping Soul by his jacket as they sped off down the road |
| The bitch had goten the best of him, but not all of him. When her companion had givin him a sucker punch to the gut, Darien sliped his leg behind her feet. He jumped forward dragging the girls feet out from under her. As she plumeted backwards she let go of the gun, Darien caught it in mid air. He spun around blasting a single shot to her companions right sholder, sending him into a spin fall to the pavement. Darien brought the gun up over his head, and back down, aimed directly at the girl's forehead. "You were saying?...." |
| She had sailed into the New York Harbor to see a few people fighting over possession of a gun when it happened. She screamed. The male whirled and shot. At her. The bullet had missed but it had embedded itself into the boat, right below her feet. He attempted to flee from the seen before the other male tripped him and pinned him again. They stayed that way as the gun was leveled upon the captive and they waited patiently for the her boat to dock. "Hello and thank you for saving my life.", the girl said while looking at her. |
| Soul's shoulder was bleeding abit. As he wiped some of the blood away with his free hand he pushed the hostile attacker back up against the fence. "Who the hell are you!!!!" He ordered directly at his face |
| In the boat, she introduced herself to Soul. "I'm Mileena." "Like the character from the Mortal Kombat games?" Soul said jokingly. "Yes, it had a flair my parents like and couldn't think of another name. They called me Sai which is my middle name. Funny for church going people." Tears started to form in her eyes. Soul looked at her and didn't say anything. Sai brought out the first aid kit and asked for Soul to take off his shirt. "I was a first aid medic volunteer at the hospital and basically in times of need became a nurse for the doctors." she mentioned. There were scars over his well muscled torso. She began to work on his shoulder. "Good thing it passed through your shoulder and it was a clean wound. Your arm will be a little less than normal but it will work fine after a couple weeks of healing." She finished patching up and he donned his shirt again before he took stock of the supplies. They didn't hear anything from outside the hull meaning nothing. "Souldn't we go check on her. My friend might do something to her that I would regret. He isn't bad because he protected me when my parents sent me to New York for a semester of summer college." "He assaulted us and he shall pay. You are exempt because you saved our life." |
| Now with his shirt back on and the bandage over his shoulder, they both walked back to the captive and the hypered up Elly. “Was he ok?” “Just fine!” She said with a final kick into his stomach. “Aw, stop it already!” He proclaimed as he struggled to keep in some of the blood coming from his mouth. “What do we do with him!” Soul asked as he picked up a pipe from the boat and walked up to him, hitting his hand with it softly. “We take him with us!” Puzzled they all looked at Elly, who had a serious face on and was making a good point. “If we let him go, not only is trouble for other people, but he would tell everyone where we’re going. If he comes with us, he could have some of the ratios as well as protect us. I mean, no offence Soul. But you’ll need time until your arm is fine ok. So we take a vote. Raise your hand if you think he should come with us!” |
Sai stopped them when they had went far enough away from Darian. "I should introduce myself to both of you alittle bit better. My name is Milena Sai, Sai for short." "I am Elly." the other girl said. "I am Soul." the wounded large man said. "I came to New York to look for Darian, the one we left back there because he may have the answer about why there is mayhem and death about the entire United States." They looked cluelessly at her and began to resume their trek to the warehouse. "Base of operations? That can be Sai's boat. " Danni said. "Food?" she said as the next thing on the list. "Got some at the store." "Got some on my boat." "Weapons?" "Assorted pistols, shotguns and hand to hand everywhere." Soul said. "I guess we work from this harbor estbilishing a better government and peacekeeping system" Danni said. "Agreed." all said but the bound Darian. |
| With the gates now closed, and the fences barred and secured. Soul walked backwards and forwards, making sure he could see anything before they happen. As he stood in front of the fenced gate he suddenly saw a horrible sight. In the distance he could hear people screaming and shouting. And a large group was heading for them, he saw at least 24 people, all armed with pipes and man-made spears. Running towards them at high speeds. “Fuck!!” Soul screamed as he ran back to the hangar shouting “We’re in trouble!” |
| Darien heard something from behind him, he turned his head to see a huge crowd of the geurillas he had been hunting. "Just Perfect!" He stretched his hand down into his pockett to fetch his pocket knife, he'd stolen it from some retard shoplifter off main street. He swiftly sliced through the ropes, like he could of this whole time, but he had suspected it better for him to lay low. But now he didn't really have a choice. He had to get them out of there before those lowlifes got to their suplies, not to mention before they relived him and the others, especialy Sai of their lives. And he wouldn't have the girl be hurt after what he'd put her through, though he hadn't wanted to but he'd been ordered to either capture or kill her and her parents. The guerillas Tyr had sent him after had gotten there before him though. But there was one person he'd been able to save that night, Sonya, Sai's big sister, the one her parents hid, and had just so happened to be coming home for the first time. He and sonya had a past indeed but thats nothing great since she doesn't no anything about her parents true selves. Darien ran towards the ship, apparently they had already seen the crowd. Elly Was running towards the ship faster then he'd ever seen a girl run. Soul was calling to Sai who had frozen at the sight of the crowd. Darien swooped her into his arms and ran. Soul had started the engines and was already leaving the docks. Elly was on the deck, screaming to them to hurry, flinging her arm in a sign to jump. Darien picked up as much speed as he could in the twenty or so feet between them and the ship. He jumped as hard as he could. It wasn't enough, he had to throw Sai, she collided with Elly who broke her fall. Darien barely gripped the boatside, Elly removed the frightened Sai from atop her and rushed to the edge. She had grabbed his hand right as it sliped from the edge. It pulled her to the deck, then came Sai, slowly they got him onto the deck. All three of them were breathing horsely. As a voice spoke over the intercom, "Hey! You guys alright down their!?" it was Soul. |
| "Why did you come looking for him and not me!" screamed Darian. "You shouldn't be that angry at me. I saved both your lives you know and yours more than once." "One repaid! Damn it why the hell do you have to keep reminding me, SAI! You haven't even told them your real name since you don't know it! I am older than this body looks. I found you amnesiac and delivered you to your foster parents several years ago and named you Mileena Sai. I made hypnotized you and made you believe these memories of yours." A echoing slap was heard from everywhere. Tears formed from Sai's eyes and deep down she knew it was true. She ran away and scrambled up the crow's nest. Darkness began to fall. [I froze...] Sai thought as she sat in the crow's nest of the boat. She remembered Darian's rescue and remembered her shortcomings then she remembered the slap she had given him. She remember those facts he had slung at her and did not know what to believe from now on. "Can I talk to you Sai?" Elly's voice called up to her. "Okay." She said. Elly climbed to the nest like a sailor wood and began to question her about the arguement between Darian and her. "To tell the truth, I am amnesiac. I knew Soul and Darian at different times. Another Darian is not telling me when I knew Soul. I do not know my true name and the parents I knew are dead by someone who crucified my father and raped my mother." "I see but what has it have to do with Soul?" "I'm not sure..." |
| The boat finally stopped on the ocean calm black water. There was no land from all sides and Soul walked out of the cabin, still holding hsi shoulder which was bleeding through his leather jacket. He saw the two girls sitting in the crow's nest obvisiously talking about something personal. He saw the traitor Darian on the other side of the boat. Soul walked in the opposite way, sitting at the front of the boat. Watching the ocean float calming around and the moon rising high in the black sky. He had always grew up on his own, no mothern no father. Just a cardboard box and a dustbin really. He grew up fast and learned the basics about life from the local Karate teacher. When he was a lot younger, he meet a girl who he was very special to him. But he couldn't remember her name or who she looked like. Now, with chaos everywhere. He was sure that she could be dead. As he turned around, he saw the two girls watching him. it made him feel uneasy but yet, so happy at the same time. He promised to himself that he would do what it takes to protect them both and maybe Darian too. |
| His face was still sore after the last bit of sunlight withered away from the sky. This was new to him, to care about anything, "Tyr will be displeased," he said to himself as he watched the moonlit waves course below the stern. "Whose Tyr?" shocked he swung around just barely missing Elly with his right elbow. "Hey! It was only a question!" she yelled as she stood up from her crouch...... |
| Sai observed the the accidental miss result into a small fight. Land was almost out of sight. Soul was observing this small scuffle as well and noticed it became slightly worse. Darian constantly dodged not wanting to hit his opponent. "It was an accident. I swear." He said when Elly performed a sweep that caused him to go overboard. Elly thought to herself, ' It was an accident. well I'll pull the drowned rat out. ' She began to hear laughter from above her and noticed Sai in gales of laughter. It was nice to see somebody laugh in these bleak times. " Come on give me your hand. " Elly said and bent over the side of the boat and grasped Darian's hand. Darian tugged and Elly fell in. "Oops." Darian said, grinning sheepishly. More laughter insued from two different spots on the boat. It was good to here laughter again. They began to laugh as well looking at each other. |
| The laughter was loud and bold as Soul watched the pair fall into the water. With only two minutes over, the two soaked bodies appeared back on the boat, rolling and laughing. Soul helped Elly back up and she got him completely soaked. With Sai helping too. They stood on the deck; at least an hour had passed since the little splash around. Soul sat at the front, wandering what to do with the other 3 people talking at the back, talking and explaining about their troubles at the moment. “It’s doing to be a long night” Soul said quietly |
| "Where to start?" Darian said. ""You know where... you asshole." She slapped Darian. "Lets begin." Darian said and settled down to his story. |
| The air suddenly turned cold and Elly shivered in the frost. As Soul saw this, he took off his jacket and slowly lifted it onto her soft shoulders. She gestures the offer and hid deeper into the leather. As Soul walked back towards the wheel. He turned the boat around and headed back towards the mainland, and if those people weren't gone, then there was going to be some fight coming. |
| After I had told Sai almost everything I knew, she'd been quiet for days. As we headed back to land we aw that those people were till there rampaging through Elly's food reserves, so Soul decided to sail down the coast for a day or two. |
| A ship had been sighted awhile ago. The flag fluttered in the breeze. Sai looked closely at the emblem. Fear went through her. "Pirates!" |
| "Oh crap!" Soul shouted as the ship seemed to gain on them fast and quickly. It just seemed to float over the water towards them, and the sound of gunfire was swiftly heading towards them. In a matter of minutes, a large ship had fallen aboon them and men with swords and guns had boarded the ship. The first three men attacked Darian head on, and there was a small fight happening on the tiny boat. Soul had helped out Darian with the first 2 pirates when suddenly. "AAAAAAHHHHHH HELP!!!" When they both looked at the other end of the boat they saw Elly and Sai being lifted into the other boat by 5 more pirates. With rage and anger, the two boys attacked head on. Punching and kicking their enemies everywhere. But to no avail. Soul was pushed back as he watched the ship begin to depart from the smaller boat that was the heroes. Darian had leapt hard and managed to grab the edge of the boat. He climbed in and manged a fight with the captain and the crew. Trying to save the girls who too were fighting despeartely. When Soul managed to get back up, he too managed to jump and grab the side of the wooden ship. But as he tried to lift himself up, he was replied with someone grabbing his hand and punched him in the face. Before he hit the water unconisues . He heard the pirates laughing, the girls screaming and a final bullet going off. |
| Darien heard a splash behind him, stuipidly he glaced over his shoulder to see. He than heard Sai scream, "NO!" when he turned his head back to face her, he was looking down the barrel of a magnum. "Shit..." "Bang!" As the shot sounded over the waves, Darien fell to his knees, eyes wide, with suprise and pain. A single tear rolled down his cheek, as he heard Sai's and Elly's screams. He crumpled to the deck. His last concious sight was of Elly being slaped across the face, tears flying, eye flashing with anger. Everthing went dark, sound drifted away, and light was no more... |
| They were gone. Both Elly and Sai screamed at the top of their lungs for them. The pirates shut them up but she noticed one thing they were all men. Men had urges and these urges sometimes were deadly to virginity... Oh God. Hands pulled her into the back rooms. She was paralyzed with fear. Oh God. |
| Darkness... Pure darkness… Water filled his face, his eyes and nose filled with blood and salt. Slowly, Soul regained conscious and was welcomed with a horrible sight. Alone, in the wide open sea. With their previous boat now sinking quickly into the dark sea. A body laying face down with more blood oozing from it and no sign of any human life on any direction. Was he doomed to die like this? Alone and forever damned. He managed to slowly swim towards the body and got a horrible shock as it was Darien’s body. Blood was severely pouring from his shoulder; he had absolutely been shot in the shoulder. Quickly, he managed to grab his body and pulled his head from the water. Blood was everywhere, and it seemed that the world’s light was just about to fade. “Hey Kid, are you ok!!!!!!!!” There was a loud megaphone, loud and clear, as Soul looked over his shoulder, he could see a large black and white panda boat. Streaming towards them both at high speed. When it was lined up and along side them, hard heavy arms lifted them both from the freezing water and within seconds they were given warm blankets and medical care. “Are you ok kid? What happened?” Rage filled Soul’s mind, he couldn’t believe what was happening. They didn’t need the rescue, the girls did. “Elly….Sai… Quick they need help!” “Of course Kid, just after we get you and your friend here some help” “NNOOOOOO!!” Soul sat from his blanket and darted towards the small rubber boat at the back of the police boat, with orders of threats and wails. Soul let the new boat free and it cut through the water like a hot knife on butter. Before he vanished over the horizon. He called back ordering. “Take care of Darien!!!” -- The air was boiling and the water was rough, he could see his target dead ahead, it was the pirate ship, he couldn’t miss it, it was too obvious Only a few more yards. Soul grabbed the two pistols which were mounted into the steering section. Not far now, as he saw the pirates see him coming. This was it, to die like a human, to fight for what he was sure was right. To free the girls and pray for a safe return. SMASH!!! The boat hit the pirate ship dead on, smashing through the wooden hull and ripping it into two halves. Soul was thrown into the air but with grace managed to land on the deck with pistols firing. Swords were swinging, bullets were flying and so it came to the part where all the pirates had died and Soul had managed to save the day. Or had he… About to make his way down to the ruined deck, the sounds of screams welcomed him as he saw the two girls. Held hostage behind a large fat ugly pirate. “Make your move!!” He grinned |
| "Gladly!" Soul heard from behind him. "BAAM!" A screeching shot roared past his face. Souls eyes went wide with shock. The fat bastard keeled over. Elly and Sai both had expressions of shock and confusion. Soul slowly cast his gaze behind him. "Darien!" "How did you get here!?" Darien simply gestured to the officers behind him, the captain with a black eye. "Ha! Like I'd let you have all the fun." Soul untied the girls, and they both hugged Soul and ran to hug Darien, but they stopped dead in their tracks. Soul looked to see what was wrong, Darien's skin had gone pale. His eyes were blank, and drops of cold sweat ran down his cheek. Darien collapsed infront of them. "Darien!" the girls yelled. The officers turned him over, and brought out the med-kits. "That’s what he gets for not letting us patch him up first..." one of the paramedics said. The captain stood and said, "We got to get off this ship." He looked at Soul. "Your little stunt put a hole in the hull!" As if on cue, water flooded into the room, soaking them to the knees, knocking Sai off her feet. When she finally got back up she had to stifle a giggle. The officers lifted Darien by the shoulders and the group departed from the room. |
Sai pulled Darien to the side, careful of his hurt shoulder and hugged him for helping save her and Elly from the raiders. "It was no problem." he said returning the hug, "I do what I must for helping my friends." The nearest town was a hour or so walk but it was their luck, they found a running truck. "I thought due to the EMP discharge everything electrical would be unable to run." Darien mentioned. "I'm not a scientist, but I say this is a good luck for us." Sai piped up. It was a green Ford Ranger, two-door. Darien and Soul jumped in the back while Elly drove with Sai in the passenger seat. They came into the town and noticed it deserted. Elly stalled the truck in the middle of the the street and got out. "What should we do? Scout around for survivors or Look for guns?" she asked the group's opinion. "Neither. They both found us." Sai replied, pointing to a rooftop. On top of it stood six armed men in combat fatigues. "This is the U.S. Army. Hands up where we can see them. Don't bother running, we have you surrounded. Come with us peacefully and no one shall be harmed." The leader of the Army said. "We do what the man says." Darien said. |
| Slowly, the four worried people were escorted into a large truck. They were placed inside and large bags were placed over their heads. The rough sack smelt of harsh leather when Soul felt the warm touch of Elly’s hand she was scared as if something bad was going to happen. "Where are you taking us?" Soul asked as suddenly, he was replied with a painful punch in the face. Surpised, he spat a bit of wet blood through the hole of his sack out. "Shut up!! And keep quiet!" |
| "Quinn, That's enough..." Darien's voice was slightly broken due to his loss of blood recently. "Sonya would be quite upset to here the way you are treating me AND her little sister." He heard a sharp gasp in Sai's voice. "Hmph!" Quinn mumbled beneath his breath as he pulled Darien up into a stand and ripped the bag off his head. Quinn did the same with Elly and Soul, but when he came to Sai, Darien made an indignent gesture that the others could not see. Quinn lifted Sai up gently, pulling her head sack off smoothly and sat down in a chair opposite side of the room with his gun at the ready. "Cut them loose. Shoot them if they try anything funny, EXCEPT the girl." Quinn said forcefully motioning to Sai... |
| Sai and Darien were brought into another room. They were told to wait here for Sai's sister to arrive. Sai's arrived in the room in a tanktop and camouflaged pants. She rushed to up to Sai and embraced her in a hug. "Michelle, you are safe." she spoke, "My name is Sonya. I commanded Colonel Darian to take you from us when you had amnesia to a set of keepers he renamed you Mileena Sai" "Michelle?" Sai spoke to herself... she blacked out. "Ma'am the two others are escaping" a soldier reported, busting into the room. "Let them escape. They have delivered my sister back to me." Sonya commanded. "Darian, thank you, you will have what your promotion now." |
| The tall trees of the forest were a welcoming and librating sight. Soul and Elly walked through the brushes towards an opening throughout the tree heads. There, Soul lay on the edge of an old and broken log. Elly sat onto the log and looked down on the tired fighter. “It’s nice and calm here” Elly broke the silence as Soul opened his eyes, looking through the clearing and towards the heavens. “I guess, it’s just…” There was a pause that lasted for some time, obviously Elly knew the answer. He didn’t feel that leaving Sai behind was right. Darien the bastard could had burned in hell for all he cared, but poor Sai? “I just don’t think that we should had left Sai there” He finished his sentence and he saw Elly’s soft head looking down at him. He was looking straight into her eyes, the same beautiful that reminded him off the girl that had saved him once of the street. Maybe…. “I know how you feel, but it was better than the ‘box’” He nodded his head and suddenly threw his body upwards to her height. Then they looked at each other. Maybe longingly, and then he grabbed her hand. Speechless and loss of breath. Slowly, with tears that he had not seen in time. He slowly kissed her, deep inside. She returned the favour. Yes, this is it! This is the girl that had saved him. Elly was the girl that looked after him on the streets. Maybe she had forgotten him. But now, he backed away. Looking at Elly deeply, she stood. Looking at him and finally her mouth moved but no sound. Was eternity this agonising |
| "Sonya... I have to go." Darien said softly as they woke the next morning. "Why?" She asked leaning in for a kiss. "We're finally all together again... Why must you leave?" "I still have to find Kendrix remember? I'm afrian that she may be dead by now... I haven't found any clues on her... My only chance is to search Austin again..." "Ok, but come back to me you hear. Go find her, I know she means alot to you." Sonya stood and walk with him past Michelle's room and out to the deck. They Kissed passionately and said their farewells. "Go find your cousin and come back to me." Darien hopped into the makeshift chopper and Quinn himself was going to fly him down to central texas. He had wished he had had the chance to say goodbye to Sai... Rather... Michelle... |
| Michelle couldn't wake up. She heard voices of her big sister and a few strangers in the room. "Darian left to retrieve a cousin of his, Dr. what was your last name?" Sonya said. "Saotome" the doctor replied, "Darian has a cousin?" "Yes there is still much we do not know about him but he is invaluable to the organization. The destruction of mainframes in New York was his doings. He led the raid to plant the emp bomb that brought the United States to their knees." Sonya replied. Michelle was screaming inside.. Darian and her sister were the terrorists that brought down her country... and led to her foster parents being killed. She began to cry tears of sorrow but her mind was thinking of an escape route. |
| Dark moon hovering in the black endless star full sky. The small camps which were hidden within the depths of a mysterious forest. The small patrol of horses and armed men ended as Soul and Elly were taken into a rather large tent with at least 5 men guarding the entrance to its flap door. Before Soul was taken onto the horse, he managed to pick up his jacket and boxers. With his underwear now on, he stood in front of Elly, quickly wrapping her in the warmth of the hot leather jacket. “Thanks..” She said with her small voice, maybe she was worried but it seemed that the strange men had them covered, no escape? In the centre of the room sat a large built man with long blonde hair, with a pistol laying on his lap. As Soul and Elly approached he stood up and stood straight in front of Soul. Straight to the point. “Where is the secret base?” Confused, Soul looked back at the more confused naked Elly. Base? What Base? “What are you talking about?” Suddenly, the main man punched Soul square in the chest. Winded, he fell to one knee and struggled to regain his breathe. Elly ran towards him but was suddenly grabbed by two men as the general looked down on Soul “Again! Where is the base!!” Again Soul looked up and said “I have no idea what your talking about!!” And again, Soul was violently punched twice the face. Blood squirming from his nose and mouth. And so the pain began. Before Soul fell hard unconscious on the ground, he saw Elly being pulled away from the tent and the words. “I’ll deal with this one! Do what you please with her!!” “ELLY!! I……..” |
| Michelle had been betrayed by all she knew. After Sonya had left the room, she slipped out of the room and down the hallway. She encountered no one in the compound and easily slipped out the gate. After she had gotten a few hundred meters, a figure came up from the ground and clamped a hand to her mouth to prevent her from screaming. "Shush girl. We have need of you once again." |
| Out cold, after Soul had drawn the map complex, he gave it to the blond hair leader. Who was now known as Tai, slowly. Soul awoke from the sheets of a large double bed with Elly lying across his chest. His memory began to buzz, he only remembered their lovemaking in the forest, the men who captured them and the diagram. Now, he lifted himself from Elly’s embrace, slipping into his clothes and walked towards the entrance of the large camp tent. As he peered through its small opening he heard the yawn of Elly as he turned back to her, she sat up to reveal her entire upper body. “What’s the matter?” She asked as she sat upwards more to reveal her two full breasts. Soul walked towards her and placed his hands around her face, he gave her a slow kiss on the lips and said “Nothing’s wrong! I just….!” “Yes??” She pulled the blanket tightly around herself as his trench coat slipped up the side of the bed. “I believe that….they may have captured Sai, she may be here!” “What?? We have to tell them that we know her!” She was about to get up when he grabbed her by the arm. Smiling into her face, he said in his calm voice “I’ll sort it out! You stay here, ok!” She nodded and Soul kissed her again. “I’ll be back in a moment!” |
| Darien stood on one knee clutching a girl's body to his. Her auburn hair flowing in her blood. Her porcelin skin cold and pale. Crimson lips blood trickling down her chin. Blank jade eyes staring into the sky. ~*~*~*~*~ Darien stands up from a kneel, a fresh mound of earth before him. A small cross imbedded in the ground behin it. On the cross hangs a thin sterling rosemary. Darien turns away from the grave. "Never again..." "Michelle... I'm comming to get you... Away from that murderous woman..." |
| Sai knew nothing of the situation at hand. She began to feel woozy. "I don't feel so well." she slurred. She collasped into Soul's arms. "What did you do to her?" Soul screamed at Tai. "Nothing just a slight sedative to help her sleep and regain her memories." Tai reassured him. |
| As Soul grabbed hold of Sai’s sleeping body, he stormed out of the large tent. Not before giving Tai an evil grin! In less than a minute later, he reached Elly’s tent with her still laying on the bed, she now had her clothes on and was more surprised than shocked to see that she was asleep! “Is she ok?” Elly asked as she helped placed her on the bed, her head piled into the sea of pillows, he nodded his head and replied “We may have some trouble ok, You must stay here and look after her ok! No one must get her OK!” He ordered more than asked! She shook her head and watched as Soul walked out of the tent, not before a final kiss and her wise and beautiful voice said “Be careful!” He didn’t hear her…. |
| Darien had abandone the piolet in Austin. He planned to ram the chopper right into the top floor bedroom where sonya and her officers would be "PLANING" their next move. While Michelle would be in the deck building across the ship. He set the the course and jumped from the chopper. Darien landed on Michelle's roof, which promply colasped as the helicopter crashed into the other building. When Darien realisedthat Michlle wasn't here, he looked upto the flamming main building. "No..." Then he noticed that the decks and equipment were dirty and rundown, as if the ship had been abandoned less than a day after he left. "No wonder the piolet pulled a knife on me. This was her plan!" |
| there are ways to prevent the emp bomb's effects that are in the testing stages today and actually work... in theory if the thing is shut off then the emp bomb does not effect it ================================ Michelle Sai's flashblacks began to happen. She began to convulse violently. She felt hand restrain her and felt fingers pry open her mouth and clamp upon her tongue, stilling it. She awoke later and noticed several people around her. She felt upon her bare body a hospital gown. "Where am I?" she demanded, "Corporal report." |
| Suddenly, BANG!! A figure fell to the floor, Soul reached his wound and released that he had been shot through the back. Elly screamed as he began to spit blood from his mouth. Was this death??? -- “Soul!!” Elly screamed as she held him in her arms, the shooter was Tai as he now towered over them both. Finding it hard to breath, Soul managed to speak “Bastard!! I still wont let you take her!” Tai laughed and said “I don’t care now! I thought you a powerful ally but instead!!” He raised the gun upwards and shot him deep into his leg. He screamed aloud, making the world know about his pain! Was this the end!!? -- “Sai!” Elly shouted as Sai slowly managed to awake from her sleep, her sight blurred but she saw what was going on! The gun lowered to his head. And…… |
Besides, There is no such thing that could boost an EMP bomb's powe to take out the entire world's electronics. There is always a way to get technology for those with power. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "BANG!" Elly screamed on tune with the shot. But when she saw blood splatter she was shocked. Tai collasped in fron of the injured Soul. The woman Sonya stood before the body. All the rebel soldiers had been taken out silently. An intense glare of hatred flashed nher eyes. She grabed Michelle by the hair and nearly tossed her out the tent opening. Sonya raised her gun to Elly's head. "BANG!" ~*~*~*~*~*~ Elly awoke with a splitting headache. A bloody groove etched into the left side of her forehead, Soul had pushed her just in time. She looked around, corpses everywhere she looked in the rebel camp. But she didn't see Michelle or Soul so she was somewhat happy, they could still be alive. She put he hand up to her forehead and suddenly noticed the makeshift bandaging on her wound. "Wha..." She saw him, Darien, asleep against the side of a tree nearby. Elly then saw the ripped sections in his shirt. "The bandage..." She didn't know what to do. She wanted to kill him in a way, but he had just cared for her health here. "What now..." |
| "Corporal report!" Sai heard. "The kidnap and massacre of the enemy troops in the rebel base was succesful. Kidnapping of the amnesiac subject was accomplished was successful." she heard her sister's voice report. "Was her accomplices killed, Including the traitorous agent?" A gruff male voice said. They were talking about Darian, Soul, and Elly. They couldn't be dead. "They were not killed." Sonya reported. "You were sent to kill them." the voice sighed, "This report to me is done." Sai moaned. Then she felt the pinprick of a needle and began to sleep again. The last thing she heard was ,"Long Live the New United States." |
| Soul, collapsed under the weight of these clothes, he could see Elly in the corner of his eyes, he smiled, knowing that she was safe. “..Where are we?” He moaned as Elly managed to walk towards him “Shhhh, we’re ok. Just stay still, you’ve taken 3 bullets.” Suddenly, Soul let off a happy laugh, even in the roughest times, he was determined to see the light, ever the darkness “What am I?..A bloody bullet magnet?” Elly smiled with him, Darian even gave off a small smile but made it invisible. She stroke him on the chin and then. He slept. -- “Soul!” The small 7 year old child, turned his front to meet the sight of a beautiful young girl who was running towards him. “Elena?” She managed to catch him and then handed him a bag filled with leftover foods “Thank you Elena!” “I love to help!!” She said as she slowly vanished back into the streets of New York, leaving the young Soul eating upon the foods. |
| Starting with Elly, Darien rebandaged their wounds. But when he had started to re-wrap Soul's shoulder a wounded man from the "New U.S.A." who was left by his team, walked up behind them. "Hands up!" the man yelled horsely. Elly stiffled a scream of surprise at the man's sudden apearance behind them, and Soul was still out cold. |
| Sai was transported, awake, but she was strapped down and thrown into a jail. "Welcome back to New York." The guard said to her and slammed the solitary confinement door. Sai began to weep, long and hard. Curling into a ball, she feel asleep, crying. == "Wake up." a voice said accompanied with a kick to her stomach. Sai groaned and looked up and saw a doctor there. "Good, you are awake. Take her." Two sets of hands grabbed her and handcuffed her legs and picked her up by her arms. Feet sliding along the floor, she was brought into a experimental lab and unbound her legs and uncermoniously tossed her onto the table and strapped her down once again to the table. The soft leather was felt on all her limbs and then the scientist entered the room. "You are going to be my carrier." he stated, "China was very good to us... they granted us the power to take the country down and in the process estabilish the new one." He laughed and began to pace on her left side. No instruments were near them. "What new country are you talking about? Why am I a carrier? and of WHAT?" she screamed. "Death my dear, death." the scientist said in his best dark demeanor. The feared look on Sai's face was enough to send him into a laugh.. "I always wanted to say that. Just kidding." Sai sighed a breathe of relief... "You are going to be my guineau pig for various diseases until they need of you. You are going to have the vaccines tested on you." Sai pailed again. "Oh god..." she mumbled. |
| When the sunrise aproached the horison they were moving, Elly and Darien held Soul on there solders. "We have to find another ship." "Yes, and I know where to find one." Darien answered Soul's statement. They came upon the burning deck of the rebel base ship, other than the cabin buildings the ship was still sea worthy. |
| Sai was freaking. This scientist was going to perform experiments on her... She feel into unconcious when the needle touched her. |
Soul sat, in a box within the thunder storm, he sat for the moment had seemed like an eternity. She promised him and he was never going to just forget the promise. He had grown to fall in love with the girl as suddenly, her figure appeared in the mist as she stood before the nearly naked teenaged boy, and he smiled into her eyes. He offered her into the large box as she sat by his side. “Here, I’m sorry I’m late” She handed him a large paper bag with leftover food within, he happily ate away as suddenly he stopped and said “I’ve really missed you Elena!!” He looked her in eyes and she smiled back “Please call me Elly. Wait a minute? I’ve never asked for your name come to think about it?” The boy looked away, his face hidden but pale white. He then said in a quiet voice “I….I don’t have a name?” Elly looked him with a confused face “You don’t have a name? Maybe we can give you one?” She placed her hand to her head, watching the rain as it poured down the sky to the hungry earth. “The rain, it kind of calm’s your soul, doesn’t it?” Then they suddenly meet each other in the eyes again, her beautiful and amazing eyes. “Wait, that’s it? Soul!” The boy cried as he looked at the dark clouds. “Yeah, Soul. Kind of suits you. Elly and Soul, sitting in the rain?” She laughed as they met gaze a final time before she left. He watched as she vanished over the horizon, down the streets. Back to her home. “Soul? Elly! Don’t leave me!!” He suddenly cried out to her, but she was gone. His mind buzzed and then….darkness.. -- He slowly opened his left eye; he saw the blurred image of a young beautiful woman standing over him. “Soul, were you dreaming?” “Do you know?” “About us? The young half-naked boy that I fed in the streets, the boy that took a liking of me and then suddenly vanished in mid air!” He managed to look through the blurs, through the illusions. He raised his weak hand as she held it tight. He said to her words that she heard him say once before. But couldn’t not remember. “Don’t leave me Elly, I love you!” |
| He would have never guessed that they had known each other from way back. He was just happy to see that someone eased Elly's heart. It made things much easier for him. It meant that she would be able to trust again and he needed her trust for what he planned. If he didn't have both of their trust when the time came... Not only him but Michelle would be lost in the darkness. |
| Sai woke again on the same table she passed out upon. There was a guard there but she was strapped down upon the table. The scientist was no where around her. "Don't worry miss.... he isn't actually like this. He just wanted to have a little fun with you. He already did and laughed because you fainted." "Typical old man things.... great just great..." Sai sighed. "Why am I still strapped though?" "Your sisters commands... not his." "What do you mean.. my sisters commands?" "Well.. you are going to be the carrier of an EMP bomb into Britian." "No....." Sai began to cry... her own sister was turning her into a weapon that would wreck another country. Her own family is responsible for the destruction for this country she lived in. She began to weep uncontrollably. |
| After Soul passed out again, he managed to bring himself back to the real world. His sight limited as he saw the two figures before him, he had felt better now as he focused in on the figures. Both he found out to be Elly and Darian. With limited energy, he managed to lean up and looked staight into the pair. Elly gasped as she helped him staighten his back, and Darian stood staight in front of him, most of his strength had returned as he breathed air to make heavy words "Darian! This has got to stop! Tell us what is going on! Tell us what they are planning to do!" Darian stood motionless, he took in air and exchausted the large amount of Co2. He signed and said "They are planning to take out Britian, the same way that they did with New York!" Soul managed to climb to his feet, he struggled but with the help of Elly had stood straight in front of him. "How?" "By using Sai as their carrier! She's the bomb!" They both gasped as the truth finally revealed. Soul looked into his eyes, truthfully telling what needed to be known! "We've got to stop them!" "We're heading their now! Lets hope we're not to late!" |
| Days went past, one after another. Soul kept healing, it turned out that he healed pretty fast. Elena, as Soul now called her was always at his side tending him. It sickning at times but it was sweet. Pretty soon Darien would train Soul a little on deck while Elena steered. They had to get Soul fully motional before they arrived at the port off the English coast. Elena, having some free time between Soul's concious moments, trained herself with an old punching bag she found in the debri of one of the deck rooms. ~*~*~*~*~ "Ugh! Darien! Go easy..." "Come on you can do better." "DARIEN! SOUL! LONDON PORT IS ABLAZE!" |
| Sai awoke again to a military aircraft in flight. She was latched tightly to a steel object.. a large steel object between her legs. "Good you are awake. I will explain this to you quickly.. we are over london harbor. and your are strapped to a bomb. You have two choices.. die with the bomb setting off an emp charge or eject and let the massive napalms go off instead. your choice.." Sai felt the doors open and the bomb drop. She squeezed both as she plummeted to the ground. She felt an enormous force rip her off and she landed in the main part of london's zoo. Looking up, she saw the harbor in flames.. and the city dead as people ran chaotic. "Dear god... i have created the apocalypse.. because of my sister." |
There slowly passed along the coast line, watching as the burning London vanished over the horizon, Soul looked around. Elly stood by his side as the sight slowly disappeared into the setting sun. The trip continued for other hour as they finally found themselves at a small harbour town just 10 miles away from London, leaving the boat behind. Soul, Elly and Darian stepped onto the pier to find the place completely deserted. “Ok! Let’s just find a car or something and lets get the hell out of here!” Said Soul as the scenery didn’t seem right, the town was eerily quiet as they made their way through the closed doors and sealed away windows. After reaching a new land rover jeep, Darian stepped into the front and hotwired the car as it came into life. “Soul, get in the back. Elly get in the front!” Darian said as he spun the gun into life, the sky was darkened by heavy black smoke, the air felt rough and soon became difficult to breath. “London’s dying” Elly said as the distinct sight of the burning city came to their eyes, not even in a dream would anyone see so much horror! “Is this it?” Soul questioned to himself as he stood up in the back of the jeep. The sky darkening as he said it |
By the time they arrived in London the flames soon faultered and died. Ash and smoke and glowing wreckage filled the streets. The scent of burnt flesh seared the air. "Horrible..." Darien said under his breath. "Darien!" they heard someone scream. They looked to the left, off behind a couple of wrecked cars was Michelle. "Michelle!" all three of them yelled as she was grabbed and dragged into another jeep. The jeep took off towards the north. "Darien, after them!" Elly yelled. He slammed his foot to the floorboard, Soul nearly fell out the back. And up they went right over the wrecked cars, driving full speed after the other jeep. "Damn it!! We lost 'em!" Soul said as Darien came to a stop at a crossroads. "West." Darien said to no one, and turned left. They came to a stop looking up at a slender tower on a pointed coastal cliff. He got out of the jeep and started up the steep incline... |
| The bomb released and Sai immediately squeezed both at the same time without meaning to. Both would detonate. Crying, she felt the wind rushing through her hair. She seperated from the bomb and felt the cord being tugged. Three seconds later, she heard the deafening explosion. Looking down, she saw half of London was on fire.. the other half.. was dark and the fire was spreading to it quickly. "What have I done?" she cried.. the simple instinct of grabbing tightly to something when she was dropped.. it cost everyone london... and the lives of its inhabitants. She landed safely and heard her name called, saw the group.. then she was whisked away in an army jeep. "Good girl" Sonya said... "It's time for your execution in a few day." |
| The night drew darker, it seemed that the fires were beginning to die down. Darian had returned to the city to recieve the supplies he needed, he watched over them. Weapons and food both over. Soul sat near a fire, with Elly cradled in his arms. He held her tight, he didn't want her involved in this, he wanted her to live free from this terror, led the life that she was supposed too. He looked down at her and saw that she had fallen under, he too closed his eyes. His mind filled with images. Of Sai and off her sister, Sonya. She was tied to pole awaiting her death. He opened them again a while later, he still had Elly. Always wanted Elly! |
When morning came, Soul awoke with Elly still asleep in his arms... But Darien and all the suplies in the jeep, in fact the jeep itself was gone. "Wake up Elly!" he shook her. They put out the small brush fire they had started to keep them warm in the night. They started walking up the path to the place they had gone to the night before. @}~ Darien raced over the foothills, he had left the Jeep far behind as not to be spotted. He came up the closest hill, close enough to see the small english-american base, the last of the United Kingdom members were here, held at gun point in the court yard. And a little black haired girl, named Michelle, strapped to a large collum in the center of the court yard. Large amounts of C4 and other such explosives that he had only seen once were by her side. Those rarely veiwed explosives were minor neuclear warheads, powerful enough to blow the entire, peir for up to twenty miles... |
| Michelle didn't know what to think. She looked up and into the eyes of Darian before shaking her head. There was no way possible for them to come closer. Any closer and they would be dead. "Run! Run for your life!" she screamed. |
| Soul held hands tightly with Elly, as they walked hastily up a huge hill. They had made lots of distance since the morning. Darian had vanished, and Elly had no idea where he had gone, but Soul knew. In his single outside pocket, with his free hand, he found a small note, the ink was dry and the writing was written in speed, not a lot went into the letter. But Soul hid it from Elly, as she keep questioning “Where’s Darian?” Soul’s mind flashed upon the words. He wanted to say goodbye, but he needed to get away. Away from everything. But to make sure that Elly was by his side Soul Hopefully you’ll find this before you try and find me, please do not follow. I’ve gone to deal with my destiny, take care Soul & Elly. P.S. Run, Run and don’t look back Soul’s eyes nearly filled with tears. He held Elly’s hand tightly as they walked further away the smoking city. He had found his peace, met the his destiny and lived to face it. But now, the toughest decision was to be made, and it wasn’t his. He turned back to the city, with tears in his eyes. He managed to say “Good bye!” |
| Bodies were thrown every where, alive, dead, it didn't matter anymore. Darien slashed at Sonya, catching her side. She screamed in pain. Darien ran to the pillar that Michelle was strapped upon. "Michelle!" He said, searching through the wires and strapings fro someway to release her. She cried in fear. "Bang!" Michelle screamed in terror as blood splattered across her face. Darien's eyes went wide, tearing in excrusciating pain. Michelle ripped her arms loose in time to catch him and draw him into a hug. He stood on his knees in her embrace. Sonya's hand fell, the gun falling away. Darien slowly looked up to Michelle. He couldn't hear what she was saying. He strained his tearful eyes, and read her lips... "Thank you..." @}~ A huge crash wracked over the hillsides. Elly and Soul were blown over by the booming shockwave. Elly screamed in horror, as she looked back into the flames of hell that reached into the sky from across the plains. Soul held her tight in his arms, she cried fro their lost friends. The air was scortched Burning their lungs. "Come on Elly." he said dragging her up to stand. He dragged her into a run. He sat her at the edge of the boat. He ran to the wheel. The boat turned away from the peir. He jetted the engine, and the wake burst to life. Soul sat down next to Elly. She sat, her back against him. They stared into the crimson that was south England, as they sped away. "We won't forget." she said. "We won't forget." he agreed.... |
