This idea has been bouncing around my head for quite some time now and I've juat recently commited myself to writing it down.
This will be my first story that has no characters from an actual series. That means that the characters, Events, and places were all thought up by me.
Summary: The story takes place around the year 2982. Humanity has gained the ability to travel through space and even inhabit almost any planet. Through this Universal expansion humans have come in contact with many different races, some good, some bad. A large majority of these races have helped humanity advance their culture, religion and ost importantly technology.
Of the races that they've meet the most powerful and dangerous are the Keepers, the most intelligent and oldest race recorded in universal history. The Keepers believe that it's their job to watch over the universe and distribute justice. If they believe a race is a threat to universal peace they systematically wipe them out. Some Keepers have decided that Humanity is reaching their limits.
That's enough rambling on my part. On with the first chapter!
Chapter One: Run
"What do you that someone stole the glove?! No one was supposed to know that we were even creating that piece here! Which one of you incompetent fools let that knowledge slip?" Asks the head scientist of a R&D lab situated on the planet of Hexion and receiving funding from the human military.
"U-um, sir, we've been trying to tell you for the past 10 miuntes that we've cornered the intruder and are bringing him to you now. He should be arriving anytime now." Says one of the guards wearing a black suit as three other men dressed come into the room sourrounding a young man wearing light blue jeans, a navy blue T-shirt, and has red hair, and a black flame tattoo and most notable is his yellow cat-like eyes.
"who sent you?" Asks the scientist moving closer to the young man glaring at him waiting for his response. "I wish I knew." Says the young man laughing. "Don't you dare laugh at me!" Says the scientst punching the young man surprising everyone present. "But you're so easy to laugh at." Says the young man as smiles even in his situation. "Don't take me lighty you brat! Now tell me who are you?" Asks the scientis lifting the young mans chin up to look him in the eyes. 'I'm just a simple thief who wanted to make a name for himself. I thought stealing from a place connected to the military would be a good start." Says the Thief. "Well then, Mr. Thief, it's a shame that you won't be making it out of here alive." Says the Scientist punching the thief in the stomach hard enough to wind him and make him unable to stand on his own as he's grabbed by the guards flanking him.
"I think I've still got a long life ahead of me." Says the thief raising his left arm making a pistol visible as he shoots the guard standing behind the scientist making him fall back onto the camera controls as the young man smiles, and kicks the stunned scientist backwards into another guard, and kicks the guard holding his right arm and also the glove making him toss the glove into the air. "I win." He says catching the glove on his left arm and kicking the guard between himself and the door back through the door before he dashes out of the room and into the hallway. Now I have to think, what's the quickest way out of the building? I can't go down because I'd probably run into a lot of resistance. I guess my only real option is to go up to the roof, but they'll probably expect that and send some guards up there as well. It's my only option though! Thinks the young thief as he takes a left slamming through a door and not really paying attention to his surroundings until he hears a woman scream making him look up with widening eyes upon the realization that he came rushing into the womens locker room.
"I don't have time for this!" He says hearing the approaching foot steps of atleast 5 men chasing him as he jumps over the bench situated in the middle of the room and kicks it at the door buying himself a few seconds at best as he rushes to the door across from the one he entered as he comes to a stairwell running up the stairs 2 at a time as he hears the guards pursuing him yelling at the women to get out of the way as they bust through the door after him. "As long as they don't have a clear line of sight their guns will be useless that should be a little help to me." He says as he reaches a point in the stairs where a sign says 'Fragile Ground under construction' meaning that he's going to have to turn back down the stairs to the closest door. 'We've got him cornered, shoot to kill!' orders one of the guards as they level their guns at him.
"I really didn't want to have to use this on regular humans." Says the thief turning and pointing his right hand down at the men as the air shakes in front of his hand with a swooshing sound as the ground below the guards cracks and collapses making them fall to the previous level unconscious as the young man rund down the steps towards the door that was situated behind the man moments ago and jumps over the gap in the steps created from his attack, kicking the door in the process making it open and allowing him to roll into the hallway safely.
"This is the top floor. Now all I have to do is find some way to go up again." Says the Thief as he starts to run down the hall hearing several sets of footsteps behind him and seeing one guy come in front of him leveling a gun at his head. They'd kill their own man to get this back? The fools! Thinks the thief sliding and tripping the guy in front of him as those behind him start shooting. "Stop shooting you bastards! Don't you care that you'll kill one of your own men!" Snaps the thief getting hit in the back and in the right arm several times to protect the fallen man. "Die!" He says turning and thrusting his left hand forward towards the group expecting to send out another blast of invisible energy only to send out a wave of lightning at the men paralyzing a few of them and killing most of them. "Now tell me, what's the quickest way that I can get to the roof from here?" The thief asks the man that he saved trying to hold in a wince from the wounds that he received settling on biting his tongue as he nearly screams.
"U-um y-you need to go past those men and take a right. You should come to another staircase that'll take you to the roof. Te roof shouldn't be that well guarded right now so you should hurry." Says the man. "what's your name?" Asks the Thief feeling blood sart to staiin his shirt and his vision start to go blurry. "My names's Kai Saito." Answers the man. "Well Kai, I'd recommend that you quit your job and leave the planet as well." Says the thief running down the hall past the guards and up the stairs that Kai told him about finding it empty and quiet as he reaches the door to the roof and slowly opens it finding it empty of any guards. "I atleast expected a few guards to be up here waiting for me." Says the Thief seeing his Jet board on the edge of the roof and making a run for it hearing the sound of a rising helicopter headed towards the roof.
"There he is! Stop him! I don't care if you have to blow his body apart. Don't worry about the glove we can always replace it. I just don't want some petty thief escaping with the end results of my precious research." Says the head scientist to the pilot and gunner of the helicopter as they start to shoot at the thief using the helicopters rapid-firing gatling gun. There's no way that I'll be able to outrun this thing for much longer especially in my condition. I have to do something now! Thinks the thief smirking as he turns slightly so that his gloved hand is towards the helicopter and he focuses his energy into it, feeling tha slight tingle again before a blast of lightning jumps from his hand and strikes the helicopter.
The helicopter visibly stalls as it's blades slow to a halt and it starts to fall toards the building as the pilot ries in vain to regain control.. "Shit!" Says the thief seeing it coming as he pushes his body to its limits, recievuing a burst of pain from his back in protest as everything seems to slow down and he grabs his Jet Board and jumps off of the building without a second thought.
I can't believe I got away with it. This thing should have me set for life! He thinks with a laugh as the helicopter explodes against the side of the building and the building starts to fall from lack of it's proper support. "This is it." Says the Thief he crouches low on his board, getting closer and closer to the rapidly approaching ground. "Now!" He says forcing the remnants of his power behind him and he starts to flip through th air still attached to his board, ultmately ending up a a crumpled heap on the highway about a hundred feet from the building. A miracle could barely describe the intensity of the situation and the resulting 'landing'. What had seemed like minutes or even hours to the thief was only a few adrenaline filled seconds. If he had actually been in his right mind set and not experiencing the ocassional pulse of pain he would've realized that he was still bleeding and panting heavily.
" . . . .Rai! Rai! Are you there? Can you hear me?" Asks a voice suddenly yelling into his ear making him jump ad yelp as he remembers his earpiece that was of no use to him in the building. "I'm here, Mia, quit yelling." Rai tells her as he pushes on the earpiec to speak. "Are you alright? You sound sick. I'm glad that you made it out of the explosion though." Says Mia. "I'm F-fine. Just come get me. I don't want to be spotted in my condition . . ." Says Rai groaning as he passes out n a small pool of his own blood.
I know that was probably prett short and horrible, but that was just the start. I'm willing to acce[t OCs for this story since I'll need a lot of them in the long run.
