Chapter 1- Building an Army.
It was mid day in the city of Japan. In a nearby airport a tall lean figure with his hands in the pockets of his black jacket exits from a airplane and slowly walks into the airport. The man's face was hidden by a grey hood but revealed a young man with light blue eyes.
As the man enters the airport he looks around and smirks. This will be a good start to begin building an army. Suddenly a feminate female in an all black jumpsuit and a brown trenchcoat appeared at his side.
"Were ready to begin." said the women.
"Excellent, Selene. Rally Brutus, and Noa. Were going to have to train the new recruits somehow." smirked the man.
"As you wish... Mercer." said the women grinning evilly.
As the women disappeared into the mass of people in the airport the infamous bio terrorist Alex Mercer exited the airport. Searching for a suitable spot to begin his army.
As Mercer walked down the streets, he noticed many of the people giving him strange looks. As if they sense something sinister about the strange foreigner. Mercer smiled, somewhat impressed by there instincts.
"These people have good instincts. Its almost a pity to see them die." Alex said, smirking.
As he passed a crosswalk a middle aged man in a jumpsuit bumped into Mercer as he passed."Move it pal." snarled the man.
As Mercer bumped past the man, he accessed some of his memories since he made physical contact with the man. Thanks to the Blacklight virus Mercer can access memories just by touching someone. Or consuming them.
Mercer stared after the man with a raised eyebrow." A high school coach? Interesting."
As the man disappeared from sight in the mass of people, Mercer cut through a nearby alleyway and trail after him from a distance. As he approached, Mercer smiled slightly and stared intensely at the man. As the man passed Mercers hiding place he suddenly stopped and clutched his arm in pain.
Mercer grinned when he saw this. Due to the man making physical contact with Alex, he passed on a strain of the Blacklight virus to him that remained dormant. Unless Mercer activated it.
Mercer knew that the virus would spread quickly so he leaped up the building from the alleyway to get a good vantage point of the school. The man staggered his way to the school, clearly showing signs of the virus spreading.
Fujimi Academy
In a quit classroom of Fujimi Academy, a young man sat at the back of the class, staring at the ceiling. That young man was David Ash, a american foreign exchange student, a 17 year old young man with light brown hair and green eyes, he usually wore a blue t-shirt, black pants, a white jacket, and black sneakers. David, being an american in a school where all the kids spoke japanese, never really understood the other kids. Barely catching a word hear and there.
Not being able to understand the teachers was quite a pain in the ass as well. David was quite the class clown, mostly with his arguments with his teachers. Aside from that, David really liked it a Fujimi. Even though the only reason why he's here is because of his dad, a detective of the United States and an undercover Blackwatch agent.
Davids dad was only here to locate the so called bio terrorist Alex Mercer. Some guy that got weird ass powers from a virus the government was working on.
"Super powered terrorist. Yeah right." David said in thought.
David sighed and turned his attention toward the window he was sitting next to, staring out in thought."The only reason why dad drug me along anyway was so he didn't have to hear my mom bitch at him about not spending enough time with me." David sneered mentally.
David suddenly noticed one of the coaches stagger his way to the school gate, he was acting quite weird. "What the hell?" David wondered. Some of the teachers that had gathered outside for there break, approached the coach, judging from there body language, they were concerned and... horrified.
"What the hell?" David wondered, squinting his eyes to get a better look at what was happening below, since he was on the 3rd floor of the school he could see everything clearly.
Suddenly, the coach lunges at one of the teachers, a female, and bites her, and to Davids horror begins to eat her. One of the other teachers falls backwards and lands on his bottom in shock, while the other drops, presumably the janitor, his mop and fled. With the second teacher right behind him.
"What the fuck!" David cursed, horrified.
As the cannibalistic coach was done chewing on the first teacher he staggered to his feet and jogged after the fleeing teachers.
Davids breath becomes shaky. His eyes widen as he notices the teacher that had been mauled by the coach rise to her feet and stagger toward the school.
Several other students had witnessed the event and some began to chatter uneasily. Eventually the school announcer spoke began to ramble on the microphone. David, not even understanding him since he didn't speak japanese, could tell he was talking in a urgent panicked manner.
Suddenly he heard the announcer scream and the grunting snarling of some kind of animal. There was silence. No one spoke, some students sat there with there mouths hung open. Then all hell broke loose. Screaming and yelling students poured out of the there classrooms and into the hallways.
David, remembering his fathers Blackwatch training, stayed calm and weaved his way threw the panicked students. Everywhere around David he could see crazed students ripping each other apart. Blood stained the walls and the floors. A crazed female student covered in blood and gore lunged at David.
"Shit!" exclaimed David as he dodged to the side, avoiding her snapping teeth.
David looked around quickly and noticed a flight of stairs down the hallway. David charged down the hall, dodging the assaults of the, now hideously deformed student. Each had various different growths and deformities.
"What the hell is going on! Why is everyone going fucking crazy!" David panted as he charged his way toward the stairs.
All around David people were screaming in pain and terror. Trying to get away from the viscous bloodthirsty monsters that were once human.
He looked behind him and noticed 3 of the hideous creatures pursuing him. Snarling viciously with out stretched hands. David rounded the corner of the stairs and spun around. As the 3 creatures rounded the corner as well he gave the lead one a firm kick to the chest, knocking it back into the other 2 attackers.
While the hideous monsters snarled and writhed around on top of each other to get on there feet, David had already charged up the stairs.
As he finally reached the top floor, the door to the roof was locked."Damn it." cursed David.
He turned around suddenly when he heard screeching and the heavy stomping of feet, as the monsters charged up the stairs after David.
"Fuck this!" growled David.
David took a couple of steps back and with all his strength, kicked the door down. Wasting no time, David charged onto the roof and jerked his head around searching for a way off the roof. But before David could find an alternate escape route, the creatures jumped out of the doorway.
All three violently threw there heads around searching for David before the second creature issued a roar and charged at a now located David.
David spun around and pulled a switch blade out of his back pocket. As the creature approached he drove his blade home, into its skull. The creature gave a violent jerk, then fell limp.
In an instant the other two creatures leaped forward, growling ferociously. David yanked his switchblade out of the fallen creatures skull and threw it's body aside. David dodged the first creature but the third managed to graze his side with a swipe of its claws.
"Son of a bitch!" David exclaimed in pain, clutching his side in pain.
As the third creature lifted its claws up to strike again, David grabbed the hand and thrusted his knife into up threw its chin to its brain. The creature gurgled on its own blood and finally slumped over limply.
As the last creature lunged at David, he tried to rip his knife out of the third creatures body but to no avail. The last creature collided with David and pinned him to the ground, snapping its deformed jaws at David's face, felling its hot stinking breath onhis face as well as its saliva.
Knowing he can't out muscle the deformed human, he drew his head back and slammed his forehead into its nose, making it reel back in pain. David looked over at one of the fallen creatures, the one that had its knife planted in its skull, and realized he could try to impale the last creature with its fallen friends claws.
David looked back at the screaming creature that clutched its broken nose in pain. Without a moment to spare, David quickly crawled his way to the dead creature. The last creature recovered from its pain and turned its attention back to David. The creature bounded forward with a screech.
David jerked his head around, seeing the creature regain its senses from the pain and charge after David.
"Shit!" David exclaims urgently, making him crawl faster.
As the creature closed in on him, David finally reached the dead creature and grabbed its right arm. The creature leaps into the air screeching, attempting to pounce on David. David grabbed the arm and spun around, pointing it at the pouncing creature.
The last creature fell app-on the claws of its fallen comrade, and thrashed around screaming in pain, impaled in the stomach. It thrusted its head forward and snapped its jaws at David, still trying to kill him.
"Die, damn you." David snarled in frustration.
Finally, after what felt like hours, the creature fell limp, and unmoving. Thinking the creature was dead, David began to toss the body aside before it suddenly came back to life and gave one final snap if its jaws. David, reacting on instinct, grabbed the reminates of a shirt and pulled the creature toward him. Impaling it further on its friends claws.
The beast gave a finale jerk and drew on a long gurgling, gasp before finally dying.
David grunted with effort and threw the impale creature aside, on top of its friend and shakily got back to his feet. As David finally got to his feet a strange man spoke from behind him.
"Impressive. Your quite the fighter." complimented a strange man.
David spun around in surprise and stared up at a tall lean man that was crouching down ontop of the roof entrance doorway. He wore a black leather jacket, a white sleeved shirt underneath, black shoes, grey pants, and a grey hoodie.
"What the hell? How long have you been sitting there? David asked in surprise, staring up at the strange man.
"Long enough." the man replied with a slight smile.
"Well were you just going to sit there and let me die or become like on of those... things!" demanded David.
The strange man frowned this time. He stood up and jumped down, slowly approaching David. David gasped in horror and surprise when he witnessed tendrils shoot out of the man and latch onto one of the fallen creature. David felt like vomiting after what came next. The tendrils pulled the body of the creature closer and it seemed to... be absorbed into the mans body.
The man drew a deep breath and smiled. "Delicious." sighed the man.
"What.. what are you?" David stammered, taking a couple of steps back.
"Your creator." the man calmly replied.
The man suddenly shot forward and was app-on David in a blink of an eye. Before David could dodge out of the way the man grabbed him by his throat and hoisted him off the ground. David kicked his feet wildly, trying to find solid ground, but eventually gave up and stared at the strange man.
He had cold, heartless blue eyes, and a young face that told a tale of a murderous past.
"Who are you?" David croaked, trying to pry the mans hands off his throat.
"My name." he paused,"Is Alex Mercer."
David suddenly stopped. 'No. It can't be.' he thought.'Mercer, here. My father was right.'
Mercer smirked and his one free hand morphed into a black muscular arm with three pointed fingers and seemed to put off a dim orange glow within the cracked tissue.
"Prepare yourself. This might sting alittle." Mercer warned, still smirking.
Davids eyes widen and suddenly Mercer plunged his morphed arm deep into Davids abdomen. Davids body was wreaked with a burning pain, his body stiffened and he opened his mouth to cry out but nothing came out. Just silence. Davids eyes widen and he looks around wildly. Gritting his teeth at the pain.
Finally Mercer dropped David, who fell limply to the ground, panting hysterically. Mercer smiled and crouched down beside the teen.
"Well done. Your going to be a strong one. I can tell." Mercer said, placing a hand on Davids shoulder.
Davids looks up at Mercer with wide eyes. However, his vision starts to blur.
"Well met again soon." smiled Mercer.
Davids vision slowly blurs into blackness as he stares after Mercer as he walks away.
Alright. Love. Hate. Please review on what you think.
