Chapter 1: Family Schemes

Illuminati Base, 11:00 AM

It was a normal day on the Mediterranean island where the base of Gill's Illuminati organization lie. The members of the brotherhood milled about doing their master's bidding and did so without complaints. In fact there were even less complaints since Gill got put back in power after the threat that Gill's father Zephyr had posed to to the world had been quelled the Street Fighter tournament two years ago. In the library of the base, the deity and leader stood reading a book with numerous mysterious symbols adorning the cover. As Gill stood engrossed in his book, his personal assistant, an attractive blonde woman named Kolin walked up to Gill and tapped him on the shoulder. The half red, half blue being whirled around and gazed at his assistant and lover as she held out a file towards him.

"Master Gill, I just received e-mail confirmation from the Brotherhood members across the world that all the messiahs are still currently alive and well and that nothing is posing a threat to them at this moment," informed Kolin.

"Excellent, make sure they're kept a close watch on and do tell me if any threat arises to any of them, they must be kept safe by any means necessary," responded Gill.

"Affirmative my love! By the way though, I have some concerns regarding Urien, his behavior as of late has raised a few eyebrows around here," commented Kolin.

"He can scheme all he wants, but it will all be in vain, he knows that his power pales in comparison to mine so and that he wouldn't get away with whatever he may try," responded Gill with assurance in his voice.

"I understand, is there anything else that you need me to do Master Gill?" asked Kolin.

"Not at this moment, just leave me to my reading for now, we'll talk later tonight," answered Gill.

Kolin embraced Gill lovingly before walking out of the library and allowing Gill to resume reading the book that had previously captured his attention.

"Those messiahs are crucial to leading the people to salvation when Judgment Day finally dawns. Losing Ryu to my father already was a massive blow, we cannot afford to lose another one of them, or lose any others I may find as I continue my surveillance across this world," mused Gill to himself as he gazed up at the ceiling of the library momentarily and took a deep breath. The deity then put the book back on the shelf where he got it and left the library and started to walk down the corridors as a member of his organization came from the other direction with a try of food in his hands.

"Where are you going with that food?" asked Gill.

"It is time to feed your father Master Gill," answered the Illuminati member.

"Ah yes, I shall take it to him, you get back to what you were originally doing," ordered Gill in a calm yet firm tone.

"At once my master," replied the Illuminati member bowing to Gill before taking his leave. Gill walked down the corridors tray in hand and soon arrived at the area where the Illuminati dungeon was, he placed his eye to the retinal scanner and waited for the heavy steel door to open. As the door to the dungeon opened, Gill descended the staircase leading to all the holding cells, the guards all moved out of the way of thier master and bowed to him as he passed by them. He then headed over to a cell and opened up a window in the door and looked inside to see a silver haired being slightly taller and more muscular than him dressed in white gym shorts, it was Gill's depowered father, Zephyr.

"Father, here is your meal, enjoy," stated Gill as he opened the door and placed the tray on a table nearby and then closed the door to the cell promptly after exiting. Zephyr merely gazed over at the tray without saying anything and headed over to devour the food that his son had given to him. Gill sighed as he left the dungeon and decided to head back to his office to see if any more reports about his messiahs had been brought to him.

"Father, how long must I have to hold you down in that dungeon I despise going into before you decide to atone for your wrongdoings? When will you have your epiphany?" thought Gill to himself as he finally entered his office. He skimmed through the papers on his desk only to find nothing new that hadn't been reported to him already.

"Nothing new, perhaps I shall go see what Kolin is up to, I need some way to pass the time until more information surfaces," said Gill as he headed off to the main hall of the headquarters to go find Kolin.

Illuminati Laboratory, 11:22 AM

The sounds of computers humming and whirring as they calculated numerous complex equations could be heard throught the corridors of the Illuminati's laboratory. Also present was the sound of computer keys being punched furiously. Sitting in front of a computer monitor was Gill's mentally unstable younger brother Urien, he glared angrily at the screen obviously not pleased with what was being displayed before his eyes.

"Access denied," beeped a computer voice in a calm tone.

"Damn it I cannot access these files! That cursed Gill and his blasphemous utopia idea, these people that inhabit this world are pitiful, they don't deserve the luxury my brother wishes to award to them," grumbled Urien to himself as the slammed his fist on the desk he was sitting at.

"What angers you Master Urien?" inquired a young female behind him. She was pale skinned and had long black hair which was done in a style that competely obscured one of her piercing blue eyes, she was also clothed in a black body suit that fit snugly around her slim physique.

"I cannot get the information I so desire to help me in my quest to usurp my brother, that's what's wrong Noir!" answered Urien in an irked tone to the famale beside him.

"Let me try, maybe I can hack into the systems," suggested Noir in her usual monotone voice.

"Knock yourself out," grumbled Urien as he stepped away from the computer.

"Yes Master," replied Noir as she prepared to hit herself, Urien grabbed her fist and shook his head in disgust.

"Not literally, I mean go ahead and try to hack into the Illuminati mainframe!" barked Urien. Noir then lowered her fists and sat at the desk and started punching in a series of keys on the keyboard.

"Access approved!" beeped a computer voice after a while of Noir's typing, Urien stood in shock as his brainwashed lackey had successfully hacked into the Illuminati's database.

"Move aside Noir, let me back onto the computer!" ordered Urien. Noir nodded in compliance and stepped away from the computer allowing the brown skinned deity to resume control of the computer and look over the files that were displayed before him.

"Excellent, files on my father's mind control probe are still active in here, I can use these to my advantage especially if I am to create my own army to help me overthrow Gill," cackled Urien to himself.

"Have you chosen folks for your army Master Urien?" asked Noir.

"No, but that's a superb idea, I will look up some folks that I see fit to rule this world alongside me, of course you're one of them," answered Urien to Noir. After studying the files on the mind control probe, Urien opened another file which had records of various fighters all over the world. As the sinister brother of Gill skimmed through the files, he saw a couple of profiles that caught his attention.

"Ah, Noir, I think I may have found two people that we should seek out," commented Urien.

"Master, someone is coming," alarmed Noir to Urien.

Upon hearing Noir's warning, Urien logged out of the systems frantically and shut down all the computers just as a technician walked into the laboratory.

"Oh Master Urien, a surprise to see you here," gasped the technician.

"I'm taking my leave now, come Noir!" ordered Urien.

"At once my master," replied Noir who closely followed Urien out of the laboratory and off to meet the two that Urien had deemed worthy to be his messiahs.

Illuminati Base, 11:57 AM

As Gill talked with Kolin, a strange feeling washed over him and he grimaced during the middle of his conversation with Kolin who took concern to the deity's face.

"Does something trouble you my love?" questioned Kolin.

"My brother is up to something, I can feel it," answered Gill.

"Is there something you want me to do to help you Lord Gill?" asked Kolin.

"Yes, help me round up the messiahs, we need to keep them protected from whatever plan Urien is hatching at this moment," replied Gill sternly.

"I shall get on that right away!" affirmed Kolin as she ran oout of Gill's quarters and down the hall off to obey her master and lover's orders.

"Urien, I don't know what you plan to do, but just know that if you seek to do anything to the messiahs, me, my organization, Kolin, or anyone that is living on this planet, I will not allow you to carry out your deed. I'm going to nip this in the bud," stated Gill proudly as he left his quarters to go make preparations to gather the messiahs to protect them from Urien's sinister plans.

Author's Note: Here we go, the first chapter is down, it's basically just an intro to the plot of the series, so yeah, Urien is now the main villain of this part of the triilogy. Next chapter we'll introduce more characters into the fic, you'll meet the new OCs and all those who are now actively fighting in this fic as well as see what the cast from the last fic has been up to. If you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know. I'm aiming to surpass Z Project here so any input you have will be nice. I'll also be making the bios for my new OCs shortly so you'll be able to see those soon. Well I'm off to go work on the next chapter, but until then, please read and review.
