The shock of the new
Seattle
Max sits there alone atop of the space needle wondering what the world was like to those who escaped from the burning Manticore building. Some of them were kids and some were her age or older. But one thing for sure none of them were human.
Joshua he is half man and half canine. No one would look at him as if he was normal. A single tear slipped from her eye. Being home was all so new to her. She had just recently escaped herself. Being back at Manticore wasn't in her plans and now it's gone. A chapter in her life closed for good.
Logan…She wanted him so bad. She wanted to kiss him…touch him. But never again. Not until this virus is taken care of. If it can be taken care of. Her friends Original Cindy, Herbal, Kendra, Sketchy, and Normal. She wondered what they thought. The she remembered what Renfro said. "Your friends think your dead." If they see me, they would be happy. That or creeped out. She got up and knew were she had to go.
Manticore
Reporters and scientist all were lurking the area looking for anything that had to do with what Eye's only had said. They area had been burned down. But there were still body parts of what Renfro claimed to be a hospital.
"Sir!" Screamed an officer.
"What is it?" Said his commander.
"Something over here is moving." The officer said backing away.
"What is it?" The commander asked. "Is it human?"
"I don't think so," then it lashed out from under the burnt rubble. It was one of the earlier Manticore prototypes. He had fangs and gills. He had talons like a bird. He scratched the officer.
"We need back up!" The commander said before he was decapitated.
Underground Seattle
A gang of men circled around two people fighting. They kept throwing down money.
"$20 on the blonde kid," screamed one guy.
"$30 on the blonde kid," Screamed another.
The fight was rageing. The older man kicked at the blonde kid and the blonde kid fell to the ground. He then unleashed a kick to the older mans face knocking out several teeth.
"You win, kid," Said the man handing him all the money.
"Thanks," The blonde kid said wiping blood from his mouth. He turned to leave.
"Where did you learn to fight like that?" The man asked.
"Military school," The blonde kid answered.
"Sure your human?" The man asked jokingly.
"Well yeah," The blonde kid said. "Mostly anyway."
He turned to leave. "Wait kid! What's your name?"
"49-Alec," He said. "My name is Alec."
Seattle
Knock, knock. Original Cindy got up from the couch and answered the door. She had a soda in her hand.
"Who is it?" Original Cindy asked.
"Me,"
Original Cindy dropped her soda. She unlocked the door only to find Max standing there.
"It isn't real," Original Cindy said.
"Cindy," Max said hugging her.
"My boo," Cindy said. "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine," Max, said.
"You escaped again." Cindy asked.
"No, I burned the place down." Max said.
"That's my girl." Cindy said.
Max walked through the door and looked around. It all wasn't registering in her head. Some things seemed unfamiliar to her.
"Wondering how the couch got there?" Cindy asked. "I moved so I could eat and watch TV at the same time."
"Oh," Max said. So, she wasn't going crazy.
"We interrupt your regular broadcast to bring you late breaking news. We are here at what are the remains of a facility called Manticore. Today as scientist searched for the remains of any humans. As a deadly fire burned through the night. They did indeed find something. A monster or a human. These people or monsters were created here of what on paper was a V.A. hospital. Now we fear that some of these creatures are roaming free. The president will be making an official statement tomorrow as to what the precautions are for something like this. Stay tuned for the news at ten."
"Boo," Cindy said.
"Yeah?" Max asked.
"What does all this stuff mean for you?" Cindy asked.
"It means that people know about me and mine and I have to do something to protect them." Max said. "But first I need a shower."
Logan's:
Asha sat next to him as he typed into his computer screen.
"What are you doing?" Asha asked.
"Reading some post on websites regarding this menace to society that the people are calling the escapees." Logan replied.
"What are they saying?" Asha asked.
"For one, the people are scared as to what these creatures will do to them." Loan said. "And others are ready to lay a bullet in the first person they see that is special."
"This is wrong." Asha said. "What is Eye's only going to do about it?"
"Tomorrow before the presidents official statement I am going to have a network broadcast saying that this is not their fault." Logan said.
"Do you think this is going to do any good?" Asha asked.
"Yeah," Logan replied. "To all the people that know I am doing right and believe in me will see that these people aren't going to hurt them."
Streets of Seattle:
A young boy was being chased. He ran as fast as he could. But it wasn't fast enough. This mob behind him wasn't getting any smaller and not all his training could overcome his fear.
"Die freak!" One man yelled throwing a beer bottle at him.
A fence. He jumped it. All six feet. The people were even more charged a people started climbing the fence. He still ran. He couldn't give up. Now it was over. A wall at least twenty feet and he knew he couldn't jump it. He was blocked.
"Their you go, freak." A man holding a mettle baseball at said.
A few more joined up behind him. The young boy backed into the wall. The man took a swing at him and the boy moved fast. But another man was waiting for him and knocked him in the face with the bat.
The boy fell to the ground as the mob began to kick and stomp the boy leaving a pool of blood and a dead body.
Washington D.C.:
The president was being taken back to the white house.
"Mr. President what are we going to do about these attacks?" One of his men asked.
"I don't know," The president said, "Yet,"
"But there have been attacks recently today."
"I know," The president said. "But none here?"
"No, but in Seattle a boy killed a thirty year old man with his bare hands. A twelve year old! These people are menaces to society." One of his men said.
"This is outrageous," The president said.
The truck stopped in a halt making all of them lean forward. "What was that?"
The door swung open to reveal five kids all with guns. They shot into the car.
Television stations across the world:
"This is Eye's only. This is an important message. It cannot be traced. This is the only free voice left in the world. Reported on television screens across this world are humans that escaped Manticore. These people are looked at as being freaks of nature. Looked at as being not human. This isn't their fault that they were made this way. This facility made them, took them away from their mothers at birth and charged them up with drugs and skills to be the perfect solider. But as many of these humans roam the streets they are being targeted at for hate crimes. And it isn't fair. The world tends to be afraid of what they don't understand, this is one of them, and you shouldn't be afraid of them. This is Eye's only. Peace. Out"
Logan's:
"I hope that did some good," Logan said.
"Yeah me too," Asha said. "Now we have to see what the president says."
"Yeah we do," Logan said. "And what he said will be very crucial as to what I said."
"Max," Asha said. "Do you think anyone will think of her as a freak?"
"No," Logan said, "Max tends to keep a low profile."
"Wait here it is," Asha said.
"This is late breaking news from the white house. Today as the president was on his way back to his home five alleged escapees attacked him and his men in his car. We are waiting to hear from the vice president." The announcer said.
"Today has been a horrified day in the world. These escapees for some reason to think they are better than us. But they're not. We were made in Gods view and these people were made y people who thought they were playing God. These people must be stopped by any means massacre. We are going to be testing people at work to see if they have this enhanced DNA, if they do, they will be jailed. But if they attack you. You have the right to kill them." The vice president added.
Logan's:
So I guess this isn't good?" Asha said.
"No it's not."
Max's:
"So now what?" Cindy said.
"I run," Max, said. "There is nothing I can do around here. My people are going to be killed. I have to go see Logan."
Logan's:
"This is to strange," Max said moving her longs locks from her face. "X-7's going to kill the president. They have to be working for someone."
"Yeah," Logan said, "But who?"
"That's what I'm going to find out." Max said. "I'm leaving tomorrow. Hopefully tonight you can find out something."
"I'll look around." Logan said.
Underground Seattle:
"So they decided they wanted war. And a war is what they'll get."
"But sir," An X-6 said, "They are going to kill us."
"But we are, faster, stronger, and smarter than them." The figure said. "They cant stop us. We are soldiers. They think we are supposed to be freaks and hide somewhere. They are wrong. Today alone many of our people were killed. That is the end. These people want world war four then they better get ready. Cause we aren't going to be taken down without a fight. Now as of tomorrow, we are sending members of our alliance to the fifty states to find any of the X-series to aid us in battle. We will then meet on Friday to plan our attack."
"Sir," Another X-6 said, "What are we going to do about weapons?"
"I have people right now in bases bringing in weapons. We are at war."
To be continued.
Editors note: Sorry for it being so short. But this is just the prelude. I hope to have a chapter up each Friday. I hope everyone likes it. But I was going for the feel of what the real creators said about the X-5's being scared about the world finding out about them
that they have to hide they're abilities. But hopefully you will all like the story.
