The Hades Proj. ch.1

(if you haven't played s.t.a.l.k.e.r. the storyline and important stuff will be revealed as I go)

Hades sighed and stood up from where he sat on reactor 4 in the Chernobyl npp. He was tall and just about every feature on him was the blackest black you could possibly get his hair, his wings, his armor all of it was jet black his eyes, his eyes were the color of the frost, of the most desolate plains of frost. He walked over to the old Itex lab where he and the other mutants that Itex had had shipped here to test the effect of radiation on them. Hades snorted at the thought that had certainly turned out great for them their supposed grand creation had grown powerful too powerful to control. He had reduced them all to gibbering madmen the core of what was now called the monolith, a crazy faction of religious zealots that worshipped you guessed it, him. He sighed, any progress on the project? he asked he was rewarded with some affirmatives.

Kai sighed and alighted on a tree near lake mead and sighed he still haven't found the person or well persons he was looking for but he knew he was close. I was a rather normal looking brown hair green eyes and had the wing coloration of a hawk and of course he was tall for his 18 years of age. He took off again as he did he stumbled in the air (and yes that is possible) and then knew where the person he was looking for was. Grinning he headed off to a certain town. And then with a shimmer he disappeared.

Later at a Dr. Martinez house I (kai) watched as the people I was looking for came and went from the house. After a few days this had gotten boring so I was standing in the house when the leader of the group who everyone knew as max came into the house I suddenly let my invisibility fade. Max immediately opted for a defensive pose but at seeing my wings her look of aggression was replaced with confusion. Who are you? She asked one who requires your help to protect the world once again max. I said No cryptic answers what is your name? She asked and what makes you think I would tell you that and why you even need to know? I responded I am one who can kick your ass into tomorrow! she said angrily oh? I said sounding bored max threw a punch at my head while it was indeed fast I easily blocked it and slammed my foot into her side she gasped in pain mostly because I was probably stronger than omega and had been fighting for a lot longer than that pushover. I thought as max tried to kick me I grabbed her arm locked it brought myself around and had her gabbed her neck so I could break her neck if I wanted I tripped her with my arm still in that position so I winded up sitting on her back the rest of the flock walked in and looked shocked. That certainly had to be interesting a completely unbruised stranger was sitting there with a thoroughly beat maximum ride.

I stood up off her back and stepped back she hopped up so what do you want? She asked again since you could manage to do this I held up my hand that had a thin trail of red on it I'll tell you I need you to come to the zone and help me I said calmly the zone! Fang practically shouted and you are crazy enough to ask us to go there! Suddenly I felt another mind touch mine I immediately shoved her tendril of thought back and sent a stab of telepathic power with one message clear STAY THE HELL OUT OF MY HEAD! I saw the little eight year old angel stagger and almost fall my eyes widened I hadn't known that they had anyone in this group that was telepathic. I stood up and walked over I'm sorry angel is it? I thought you were someone else. Everyone looked confused until they saw how pale angel was. What did you do to her the one named Gazzy said angrily she attempted to read my mind I sent a spike of thought at her thinking it was someone else I supplied calmly so what do you want us for in the zone Iggy cut in well first do any of you know the history of the zone? I questioned Fang looked about to speak up. In detail? There was a series of negative nods.

It all started when the early hours of April 26, 1986 reactor block 4 of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant detonated spraying radioactive graphite all over what would become the zone that in itself was not bad it had started the creation of the mutants that currently resided in the zone but later when Itex moved in and started to experiment something happened. I am quoting this "and with a flash of light so brilliant that human eyes could barely bear to look at it the zone of the earlier explosion lit up you could see the clouds burning away above it" that created the zone we know today. Later an entirely Itex funded expansion into the zone happened 90% of those sent in died. I finished tonelessly BUT of the 10% that had made in they formed several labs in old abandoned labs there they created the one who you knew as omega. Then they reached the pinnacle of what they could create, Hades. He is like you and yet not. He is telepathic beyond all your wildest dreams he can cool the temperature of anything to anything lower than it already is he is strong, fast and, reacts at incredible levels he was their pinnacle creation but alas he had the same problem that you do max he could not listen to authority of any sort. So he almost destroyed their minds and completely rewrote them into the Monolith faction.

So you need us to help you get rid of Hades and why is this world's problem not just the zone's? Max asked because he is planning on expanding the zone to an area that would encompass most off Europe he is hoping that the zone cannot be sustained under that amount of area and it would collapse I said So that will get rid of the zone I say good for him fang said yes but according to any calculation it would take months to collapse if it did, but there is a chance that the zone will instead collect new energy and expand worldwide I continued Iggy looked stunned than again so did everyone else in the room. Well damn max said well I guess we have to help than max said slightly sarcastic. We can't fang said vehemently we will all die there do you have any idea how dangerous it is there? Yes I have lived there my whole life I said quietly wait did you just say your whole life fang said looking shocked. I was one of the experiments I spread my wings. And now to interrupt this oh so touching meetinga voice colder than arctic tundra cut in.

Hades I shouted with hate. Hello to you to Kai and you have no choice BUT to go to the zone hades continued, fang ran up and tried to sock him along with max. no stay away I shouted suddenly both of their punches stopped dead now none of that Hades said as if he was talking to an infant suddenly max and fang collapsed clutching their heads in obvious agony. Suddenly I pulled what looked like a Desert eagle From under my shirt and with a dull thuu sound my shot went through Hades spraying sand everywhere I cursed forgetting Hades favorite trick use his telepathic and telekinetic powers to make a dummy "self" Hades laughed nice try and now I must go with my incentive for you all to follow he reached out his hand and Ella appeared pulled from the side of a doorframe than both disappeared like dust on the wind.

I turned to max and was about to say something when she kicked me in the nuts! Next time someone who I try to sock is telekinetic and I try to sock them tell me that a bit earlier. Max shouted I winced I suppose I deserved that. Well we all agree we kinda have to go now? She continued she was met with an affirmative from all everyone had grown to like Ella in the two years that they had been here. Lets go than I said your Hades brother angels voice cut in I stiffened and than sighed yes I am I said
