Poseidon
A figure is doing a parkour at the city of Tokyo. The figure wears a red hoodie with white trims. Under it is a dark blue shirt. On the figure's lower part is light blue trousers and black boots.
During the parkour, the figure do something almost unimaginable; the figure jumps really far and land on a building's wall and then run at the wall to the top part of the building.
"My name is Walter Albert Hunter. I am also known as Poseidon. If you want to say what I did is inhuman, well, there's a reason; I am not human."
The figure, now known as Walter, finally arrived at the top. He looks at the scenery for a while before jumping of the building and glide away.
"I was born at September 11, 1991. Yeah, what a funny time to be born. After 2001, I can't enjoy my birthday. But I still have a good life. Good at both athletic and academic, I had a good future. Until...that day came."
Walter then landed at a hidden place; unseen by the public. He then get out from there and appproach a bar.
"I was at Penn Station, waiting for a train. Then, they came; the people who change my entire fate. The Blackwatch cornered Alex Mercer. The latter then threw the damn vial. The former shot him, but a stray bullet hit me. I fell near the railway, and it came. The pain that was so painful that I really hope I died that time. The next day, I wake up. Unlike Mercer, I still have memory of my previous life. I decided to go home. On my way there, I passed near a Viral detector; it detects me. The surrounding marines and Blackwatch soldiers pointed their weapons at me. They shot me, but I survived. I then ran away; that was the first time I discovered my power."
Walter then enter the bar. He sit near the bartender and ordered a Brandy. He pours the Brandy to a shot and drink it.
"When I arrived at my home, I was too late. The Blackwatch somehow knew who I am and go to my home...and kill all my family members; my mom, dad, sister. Except my brother, Fritz. I tracked him down and finally found him. I managed to found a safe house for both of us. Fritz stay there and do the investigation stuff while I am the one who was out. I don't tell him what I had became. When he knew, he said he didn't care, as long I had my humanity and did a good thing. Beside, the only different thing I did was I am not human...and I kill people. Through my journey, I kill a lot of people; Blackwatch, marine, scientist, and infected. I try my best not to kill civilian. "
Walter take out his wallet and get some yen. He put it at the table and leave the bar.
"I once met Alex Mercer. Sometimes, we work together to defeat the Blackwatch and the Infected led by that woman, Elizabeth Greene. Our goals were same, but we rarely work at the same place at the same time. I evolved; at first, I only had my punch. Then, I had musclemass, hammerfist, claws, blade, and whipfist. I finally evolved my own devastator; Spike Artillery Devastator. I used my biomass to created spikes - a lot of them – and sent it to the area I want, usually when I was in the air, giving the name artillery. I also evolved my own armor and shield."
Walter is running through the park. He then stop at the bus stop, waiting for a bus, and when it arrive, boarded it.
"During the final days of the Outbreak, I though it will finally over...I was wrong. During that time, the Blackwatch managed to found our safe house. Despite my best effort, Fritz died. I became enraged. Using his latest investigation, I found quite a number of Blackwatch's bases. I was so enraged that I kill everyone that stood in my way, even civilian. Their last base is one of their secret R&D departement. I also kill everyone; from a simple janitor to the director. When I was enraged, I became stupid for a few moments. One of those moment was when I destroy all experimental weapons at R&D. Due to that, everything there explode. And I though I die. But I am not."
The bus finally stopped. Walter then step out of the bus. He then go to an alley, hide there, and – after making sure there's nobody – change his appearance. Walter then go to a certain building. Once inside, he approach a woman.
"Excuse me, my I help you?" Said the woman after she noticed Walter. He take out a paper and give it to her.
"Ishida Aichi. Ah, you must be one of them, the students who have a good grade at IS related stuff?" Said the woman. Alex nodded in response.
"Alright. Here's your card. Have a good day."
Walter then take the card and start doing his research.
"When I woke up, I was inside an abandoned building. When I got out, I saw Manhattan during its day before the Outbreak, as if it never happen. In order to find out what the hell was happening, I consumed a lone police officer. According to his memory, he had served since 2007, making him should have known about the Outbreak. And yet, there was no such thing in his memory. I also found something, the time. Instead of 2008, it's 2025. My only though was that I am at alternate universe. I mean, if this is future, this officer should knew about the Outbreak. "
Walter is looking at every place he can get. He's doing it while taking a note. Most of them is about the newest development of IS.
"After that, I did a journey to find out more about this world, often not without consuming someone. After my brother's death, I only have a little care about other people's live. During the journey, I try to act like what a normal human did. Mostly because I don't want anyone to find out the truth about me, the rest...I guess I just want to become part of humanity, if I can. After a few months, I found out about the 'White Knight Incident', and obviously Infinite Stratos. I wonder, if the Blackwatch had that thing, can I still survived?"
After a few hours inside the building, Walter exit it and going somewhere.
"One thing for sure, I'll try not to fight one until I know most, if not everything about IS. Also, because I am a living virus, can I used one, remembering that technically I don't have a gender. I just chose a male human as my favorite appereance. I already consume some IS pilots. Just like what I thought, all pilots are only as strong as their outer shells. I had another problem though; I don't have a purpose. Back in my world, I tried to stop both Blackwatch and Greene. Now, I had none."
Walter then go through an alley. At an abandoned warehouse, he kicked the front door and it collapse immediately. Just like what he thought, there are a drug dealers here, along with some junkies. Walter changed his arm into a blade and run towards them, ready to slice and consume everyone.
"Perhaps I have, I just have not realized it. No matter, until I find out what it is, I'll do nothing but living a normal human life, consuming somebody or some animal, and killing some criminals."
Walter then exit the warehouse. He then see a skyscraper and run towards it. After reaching the skyscraper, he runs at the wall, heading to the top.
"But, if there's one thing I can REALLY sure, is that..."
Walter finally arrived at the top.
"I am Poseidon, and my work has yet been completed."
Walter then jump off.
That's the prologue of this story
This is not really good, I think. But, I'll make sure the next chapter is more interesting
