To Sakura 88: Yep. This is in the future. If you think about it, almost all fanfics are sequels or are continuations.
To shadow wulf: Hmmm. Can your characters be antagonists? I need extra baddies for my fic.
9:22, Shanghai City, China
Mariah wiped away another tear as she walked through the once populous and vibrant city of Shanghai. She bit her lip as she watched parents scoop up their crying child and hug her reassuringly. She kicked a stone and watched it fly over to a tall man's foot. The man blinked and stared at Mariah before calling over two burly men to his side. He pulled out a picture and scanned, glancing at Mariah before finally walking up to her. "Excuse me, young lady. You seem to be familiar." The tall, blonde man said politely while smiling at Mariah. She looked up and shook her head in response. "Sorry, I must be the wrong person." One of the men promptly grabbed her mouth and shoved her into an alley as the tall man followed, twirling a bronze cane. "Tell Nathan we caught the girl he was talking to." The man ordered and one of the aides pulled out a cellphone and gave it to him. Mariah whimpered in protest as the first man gagged her and tied her wrists before giving thumbs up to his boss. "Jex here. We caught little Miss Mariah straying from the rebels." The blonde man said to Nathan, obviously pleased, on the other end of the phone. "Can we have a little fun with her before the execution? Thanks Nathan! Bye!" Jex snapped the cellphone shut and begun to remove his jacket. He gestured to one of his aides, impatiently snapping his fingers. "Restrain her while I have a bit of fun." Mariah's eyes widened in fear as Jex slowly closed in on her, smiling maliciously. He stopped as a stone slammed into the back of his head and he whirled around angrily. A little boy pointed accusingly at him and threw another stone. "Leave her alone!" The small boy shouted in his squeaky voice and ran for cover as Jex pulled out a pistol. He gritted his teeth in frustration and fired at the wall serving as protection for the impudent little boy. "Forget it. Load her into the chopper, now!" He shouted and fired another shot into the air for emphasis. Mariah silently thanked the little boy and stayed still as they transported her to the region's government control center.
11:32, Operations Room, Rebel Base, Shanghai, China
"WHAT! Mariah is being held captive by the government?" Ray shouted in anger and frustration as Kai sighed impatiently. "Yes. Now before you." Ray quickly interrupted his superior, tension filling his golden eyes. "I want permission to stage a rescue mission!" He asked, quavering, his voice tinged with rage. Kai slammed down his open palm on the long table in the middle of the room, glaring at Ray. "No! That is too risky to accept. They're expecting a break-in!" Kai retorted and Ray sat down, bristling. "Do they have a ransom?" Max put in, calmly tapping the desk. Kai breathed in air before replying. "They will kill her if we do not surrender our branch to them." He said with an air of entrapment and resignation. Ray bowed his head as he faced two conflicting issues, forced to choose one. "Then we surrender or I will save her alone." Ray said officially and Kai laughed in a sarcastic manner. "No. The best thing to do would be to let her die." Everybody's jaw dropped except for Kai's composed one. He stared at his subordinates grimly and continued. "It's better than risking another soldier for her and than giving up in this war." He explained as Ray promptly walked up to Kai, spitting at his feet. "You son of a bitch." Ray muttered and Kai smiled thinly before punching Ray's face so hard, he toppled backwards. Ray punched Kai in the stomach and his leader reeled in pain before pulling out a gun. He glared angrily at Ray and grimaced in pain. Kai pointed the gun at Ray's head and signaled two other rebels to restrain Ray. "You are to be detained under the charges of treason." Kai muttered and his old friend looked shocked at his reaction. "Asshole! You're the traitor, Kai! You betrayed your friends!" Ray shouted back as he was dragged out of the Operations Room. Kai frowned and tucked his gun in his military jacket. "I lost everything when this war started. I'm prepared to lose a friend." He said coldly before turning to face the other terrified rebels. "Good. So we have decided to leave Mariah to the government, right?" Max was about to stand up in protest but Emily pulled him back down. Kai raised an eyebrow and stared calmly at the visibly infuriated American. "Right?" He repeated angrily and everyone nodded as Kai smiled thinly. "Excellent. Dismissed." He said before pressing in a combination on a wall-placed plate and entering his room as the door opened out of nowhere. Tyson stayed in the Operations Room as Kai entered his room and muttered expletives about Kai before searching for a map showing where the government's control center was located. "Time to take things into my own hands." He mumbled and ran out of the room, heading for the garage.
11:57, Garage, Rebel Base, Shanghai, China
Tyson punched in a code on a vault and hummed a tune as the vault's door opened. He hastily grabbed a sleek black suit from within the secured vessel, whistling in awe as he felt the nearly frictionless material of the jumpsuit. Zipping up the jet-black jumpsuit, Tyson flexed his gloved hands and tightened his collar. He grinned and ran up to his heavily modified motorcycle, simultaneously grabbing a fast-firing rifle from a rack. "Yeah!" He shouted and started up the vehicle, activating various speed boosters and feeds. He put on a fiery red helmet and zoomed out of the opening garage door. He tapped a button on the side of the dashboard and hung on for dear life as the ultra-unstable mixture of hydrogen, nitrous oxide and a special fluid created by Kenny blasted his motorcycle onto the fields of China. He slowly removed his left hand from the sleek and responsive controls and readied his rifle for battle. "I may be no Ray, but I'm coming for you, Mariah!" He yelled as his blur of a form zipped across the beautiful scenery around him.
12:46, Government Control Center, Outskirts of Shanghai, China
Tyson delivered a sleeper grapple on an unsuspecting government guard and silently thanked Ray for teaching him various fighting styles and techniques. He rubbed his hands excitedly and stealthily crept through the vast Government Control Center. He stood still as the shadows of a pair of guards grew larger and larger with each passing second, mentally preparing for a quick battle. He rolled out in front of two very surprised guards and executed a simple roundhouse kick, sending two unconscious soldiers to the floor. Tyson dragged the two limp bodies into a group of lockers, quickly stashing the unconscious forms in the containers. He saw a larger group of soldiers stroll into sight and hastily clicked a miniscule button on his gloved wrist and nervously watched as red lines appeared and crisscross across his palm like a spider's web. He jumped up as the soldiers turned the corner and his heart beat wildly as they passed without noticing him. Again, He silently thanked Kenny for his ingenious suit and crawled across the ceiling, the red lines acting like suction cups and keeping him above the big group of soldiers. He jumped back down and relaxed a bit as he casually strolled towards an elevator door. Tyson activated another gadget; a laser cutter located on his forefinger, and sliced through the middle of the elevator's doors and pried it open. He crawled into the dim shaft and made his way up the endless darkness, occasionally looking down below him to check on the currently stationary elevator. He removed one of his hands from the dusty wall and pressed on a button located on his hip before pressing another one on his wrist. An ethereal green visor covered his eyes and served as night-vision goggles while his palm's red web turned a bright yellow. Tyson searched for a ventilation shaft and spotted one, climbing up with only one hand attached to the wall. He glued his palm with the golden lines to the ventilation shaft and patiently listened to staticky conversations via mini-receivers in the yellow web. He smiled thinly as he heard a woman talk about a pink-haired girl being held at the fifteenth floor and he promptly reactivated his adhesive red lines. Tyson hastily scaled the wall, the dusty cement beautifully rendered in green due to his visor. His ears perked up as he heard a distinct humming and saw the elevator start to catch up with him. "Why climb when there is an elevator?" He thought optimistically and hopped down onto the top of the elevator. Tyson opened the fire exit and dropped himself onto a guard, grinning at the remaining two technicians. He delivered two chops to their necks and waited as the elevator reached the fifteenth floor. The doors opened and Tyson jumped onto the ceiling of the ride as a man stood in shock at the sight of 3 unconscious people. Tyson flipped himself out and slammed his legs into the man's chest, giving him an impromptu rest from work. Tyson backhanded a truant worker and strolled through the building as though he owned the entire place. He noticed a group of heavily armed soldiers diligently guarding a cell and he shrugged. Tyson removed a grenade from his suit, tossing the customized explosive at the guards. The bomb exploded in a flash of blue and Tyson walked up to the frozen yet conscious soldiers. He punched the icy door and watched as it shattered into millions of white shards. Tyson grinned at the huddled Mariah and held out his hand. "Tyson." Mariah ran up to the visibly embarrassed Tyson and hugged him tightly as he shuddered in slight disgust. "Hey, how about Ray?" He excused himself and pushed away the extremely grateful girl. Mariah wiped away a tear of joy and watched as Tyson set a small bomb on the wall separating them from the outside world. "Stand back. I nearly lost an eye when Max planted a bomb for practice." Tyson warned her and he inched backwards with the trigger in his hand. He clicked and a controlled explosion rocked the base as only the wall of Mariah's detention cell burst into debris, flying outward. Tyson grabbed Mariah's arm and pulled her with him as he jumped off the fifteen-story building, simultaneously activating a low-altitude parachute. He closed his eyes in prayer as the parachute opened itself up and floated them downwards. Mariah gave a small gasp as she saw a slick- haired man walk up to them, his pale skin distinguishing him from Ivan Elmdor. Tyson uttered an expletive as a bullet pierced his shoulder. He pointed to the parked motorcycle and Mariah nodded as he pulled out his rifle. He grimaced as another bullet penetrated his stomach and he returned fire at the government soldier. The man rolled out of the way nonchalantly and twirled his pistol as Tyson reopened fire on the man. The government agent's eyes narrowed as he somersaulted out of the way from the stream of bullets with animal-like agility and shot at Tyson's rifle with uncanny precision. Tyson tossed away the gun and shouted out as another bullet pierced his leg and he crawled away from the smug agent. Mariah suddenly scooped Tyson up as she zipped away from the control center in Tyson's motorcycle. "Activate the boosters! Activate the boosters!" Tyson shouted in panic as the pale man fired at them calmly. He shoved Mariah's arm away and pressed a button on the side of the dashboard, clinging to her waist as they sped off towards the rebel base.
15:37, Infirmary, Rebel Base, Shanghai, China
"Release Ray already. I got Mariah back didn't I?" Tyson pleaded as his branch leader rolled his eyes in frustration. Mariah quickly faced an aggravated Kai and narrowed her eyes. "Release Ray?" She said accusingly. Kai groaned and tossed a bunch of keys to a waiting rebel, ordering the young girl to release the detained Ray. Max shrugged and explained to Mariah. "Er, Ray wanted to rescue you but Kai was, uh, not so keen on risking the rebellion for you." He explained as he glanced at Kai suggestively. Mariah slapped Kai's face angrily and Emily surpressed a small giggle as their leader did not retaliate. She continued out with her help in extracting the bullets from Tyson's body as Mariah slapped Kai's already red face. "Son of a bitch!" She yelled and Max and Tyson burst out into laughter. "You know what? That's what Ray said in the morning." Tyson said and Kai glared at him irately. "I should throw you in that cell for disobeying a direct order but I happen to pity you thanks to your current condition." Kai retorted distastefully and simultaneously grabbed Mariah's hand in mid-slap. He muttered something as Ray entered the room, bruises covering him, and Kai hastily hid a small bat inside of his military jacket. The two former teammates glared at each other for a while as Mariah ran up to Ray and hugged him tightly. Kai sneered in disgust as Ray narrowed his eyes angrily. Max ran up in the middle of the two and pushed them away from each other, smiling sheepishly. "Look, this is no time for fighting." He said nervously as he felt both of the rebels stiffen, ready to punch each other. Emily gave an audible sigh as she checked out Tyson's vital statistics and stared worriedly at her friends. "Tyson needs a blood donor." "WHAT?" Tyson screamed as he heard Emily mutter those 5 words and quickly began to resist the straps keeping him on the bloodied infirmary bed. "Argh! Injections! No!" He yelled as doctors frantically tried to keep him on the cot. Kai walked up to him and pointed a pistol at Tyson's head calmly. "Shut up and I won't pull this trigger." He said coldly as Tyson's mouth quickly snapped shut. "Good. I think a blood transfusion is a lot better than an autopsy." Kai said blandly and walked out of the room, eyeing Ray with hatred. "I hate that guy." Ray said as Mariah wrapped her arms around his waist caringly. Max rolled his eyes and walked out to practice some virtual combat with Draciel. Mariah stopped hugging Ray and walked over to the nervous Tyson, stroking his cheek. Ray made a "Don't even think about it" face at Tyson as the brown-haired rebel blushed under Mariah's hand. She looked at Emily seriously and held out her arm. "I'll be the donor. I think I'm the same blood type as him." She announced and bent over to peck an embarrassed Tyson on the cheek before whispering something in his ear. "I owe you anyway." She added as Ray promptly walked up to Tyson with a false smile. He gulped as Ray made a slicing motion across his throat with a serious face before laughing out loud. Then when nobody was watching he bent down and faced Tyson. "But don't even try to flirt with her, understand?" Tyson nervously nodded as Ray smiled and walked out of the room.
