Hey Everyone!
I'm back! Sorry I was sooo busy! Had a Dance competition and I had no time (And Energy) to write out a new story!
But thankfully, the competition ended and my school got a GOLD WITH DISTINCTIONS AND HONORS!
So proud and happy for my teammates and teachers who worked so hard for it! I'm still so excited because of it! XD
Anyways, enough about myself! This chapter is the longest I've ever written so think of it as a THANK YOU for waiting for sooo long!
To my Bros and Shadows,
ENJOY!
Disclaimer: I do not own Prototype! (Though I wish I do)
The Manhattan skyline was dark and the streets were quiet with the occasional buzzing of traffic. A few minors and drunkards loitered around the streets, not seeming to have a care in the world. A few armed BLACKWATCH men patrolled around the perimeter of their Science HQ, guarding their station with dignity and whatever shit BLACKWATCH men had.
Opposite the building, perched on the top of a roof, was Alex Mercer. Terrorist, Scientist, Monster, Sociopath and so on are one of the few names given to this man but in benefits of the impending mission that is about to unfold, we shall call him by the alias of 'Zeus'.
Now perched next to Zeus in the most carefree posture, was his right hand man, Ria Carter. She had cropped up black hair and mirroring her superior, she had her jacket-hood to cover her head. She was new to this infested BLACKLIGHT world and had received numerous abilities after her change. Flying, Shap-shifting, Enhanced Speed and the ability to be awesome was at her fingertips. But in sight of her immature behavior, we shall name her 'Prick'.
"No." Ria retorted.
Alex's head snapped to her. "What?"
"No way, no how am I gonna be nicknamed 'Prick'! What kind of a code name is that?!" Ria stood up with her hands on her hips.
Alex rolled his head and crossed his arms. "Well what do you want to be named?"
A finger went to the tip of her chin as Ria thought of a codename. Her eyes brightened at the sudden thought as she found the name.
"Billie Jean!"
Alex face-palmed himself. "You want to be called after MJ's song?"
Ria's nose scrunched. "What's the matter with that song? The initials are the same as my middle name! And frankly, it's better then being called 'Prick'!" Ria talked back in defense.
"Fine! You're code name is Billie Jean!" Alex let out a sigh of defeat as Ria let out a quiet 'Yes!' in victory.
The latter's attention was gained by the sound of BLACKWATCH laughing at each other as one of their colleagues made a joke while they're one perimeter guard duty. Ria's eyebrows furrowed as she scrutinized the armed men. They reminded her painfully of when her parents were taken away from her. Her fists clenched as she felt her mind raced with endless possibilities of murder.
"Okay, here's what we're gonna do." Alex spoke suddenly, his tone much like a commander letting out orders to his private.
The two crouched in a small circle as Alex started on his master plan for their mission. Ria's eyes glinted with determination as Alex relayed out his plans and strategies.
~A few moments later~
BLACKWATCH Soldier Rodney Cooper sighed as he took another turn around the HQ's perimeter. He was tired and most of all sleepy. He and the other members of his squad were still hungover from last night's heavy drinking and that pounding in his head doesn't seem to stop. He wanted so badly to just crash down on his bed and take a long good night's sleep.
Rodney nodded at one of his colleague as he spotted him walking past. "Hey, Greg! Long night ahead huh?" He cried out to his friend.
The man entitled Greg, turned his head at Rodney and felt hesitant to answer. "Err... Yeah! Long night ahead indeed." He quickly answered and went pass Rodney.
Rodney watched Greg as he entered the HQ. He's never heard Greg answered back without his usual lame pun at the end of a sentence. It seemed weird. Shaking his head, Rodney continued on his perimeter watch.
Passing the outer wall barriers surrounding the HQ, a few viral detectors blinked green as it signed no threat within the inner perimeter. The armed men guarding the inner perimeter were taking their rounds, seeing nothing out of the blue. One cadet entered the inner perimeter, purpose in his quick strides as he headed quickly to the entrance of the HQ.
A viral detector flashed yellow, sensing a mild threat in the area. The guards near the detector quickly came to look at its settings while the rest of the armed men readjusted their grip on their guns. They were tensed, seeming to know something was going to happen. Whilst that was happening, that one cadet entered the HQ after pinning the number on the lock pad. The entrance door closed behind him as that cadet entered the HQ and turned to the Scientist's lounge.
He entered the lounge and thankfully found a lone man drinking coffee, a white lab coat donning on him.
"Excuse me sir, but you're needed in Lab Room 1." The Cadet spoke, his voice muffled by his gas mask.
The man looked up and placed his cup of coffee on the plate. "All right. Not even a single minute of peace in here." He muttered and headed out to the door. But before he could grab the exit doorknob, a loud thump came to his head and everything went pitch black.
Meanwhile, the three soldiers that were crowding around the viral detector let out a sigh of relief.
"False alarm!" One of them called out to his Squad around the inner perimeter and the tense atmosphere relaxed. A few soldiers calmed down and continued again on their perimeter duty when suddenly, a car landed with a loud crash onto the viral detector. Loud yelps of surprise cried out as the soldiers quickly gripped their guns in defense. Their eyes scanned at the sky, searching for the cause of the flying car.
"ZEUS! Code Red! ZEUS has been spotted!" A loud cry from the outer perimeter echoed back and was followed by swiftly with the sounds of loud guns being fired.
ZEUS was laying waste outside the barriers of the HQ. He had his Hammerfists equipped and was attacking the BLACKWATCH soldiers with no mercy. The area became a battlefield as loud bangs exploded throughout the area. Bullets that were aimed at him merely dropped like swatted flies as ZEUS punched an incoming tank into nothing. The tank exploded in a mass of red flames.
A rocket was launched straight at ZEUS but he dodged out of the way in time, thanks to the loud beeping noise it made before being launched. ZEUS smirked evilly and equipped his favorite arsenal, his 'Claws'.
Immediately, the large mass of red meat on his fist was engulfed with black matter, forming them in the most sickly way imaginable. Slowly, long protruding sharp claws appeared as the black matter receded back into his skin. ZEUS stood, in all of his greatness with three gleaming claws on each hand. The soldiers stood shocked in fear as they saw how lethal each claw is.
"FIRE YOU PUSSIES!" The lead commander cried out at his and immediately, fires were aimed at ZEUS. Bullets entered ZEUS's body, rocket launchers fired their large rockets at him. Dust covered where ZEUS stand as the ammunition slowly thinned out. The commander held out his hand for ceasefire and the soldiers halted their shooting.
The dust cleared out slowly, revealing a completely unscathed ZEUS. He lifted his head, the shadow covering his eyes but left his lipline visible. It smiled evilly.
From within the HQ, the alarms were blaring. Red light flashed on the ceilings, signaling the scientists to evacuate their way to the safety room. A male scientist ran for his life down the hall, mouth panting as he passed a few other soldiers that were on their way to assist the situation above.
The scientist took a sharp turn to the right and followed down the stairs in front of him. He was halted by two burly soldiers that were guarding the front of a metal door.
"Colonel Creevy told me to inform you to quickly assist him at the perimeter!" He cried out, exasperated. The two soldiers looked at each other before turning back to him.
"Are you sure? We received strict orders to remain here at all cost." The soldier spoke.
"Do you think he has time to change his orders right now?! ZEUS is on top and he needs your help!" The scientist cried out angrily, clearly scared for his life.
The soldiers nodded at each other. They opened the metal door for the scientist. "All right. Stay put in the room and don't get out unless we have an all clear!" The soldier cried out as the scientist entered the metal room. As soon as the scientist entered, the soldiers closed the door and went back up outside the HQ.
All of the scientist had entered the Safety Room and let out a sigh of relief as they recognized one of their members entering the room with them.
"Jeremy!" A female scientist cried out and hugged her colleague as he entered the group. The scientist, Jeremy, returned the hug and she let go of him.
"We thought you were killed!" The woman cried out.
Jeremy shook his head. "I'm alright. Did you bring along the documents?" Jeremy asked, brows furrowed.
"Are you crazy?! With ZEUS out there, do you think we will have time to bring along the documents?" The woman shook her head. "Get your priorities right Jeremy."
Jeremy frowned.
They didn't bring it with them!
What?! They should have! Ugh! Alright, abort the mission! Get back here Billie Jean!
Wait, there might still be a chance. I can just consume them here and now. Wouldn't that be easier?
NO! If they find out someone was consumed whilst I'm out here, they'll guess there's another 'Mercer'!
Then what?! I didn't came here to return empty-handed!
Forget it. Come back here now! We'll rethink this tomorrow.
No, I'll do this my way!
Ria Carter, Get back here!
My codename's Billie Jean!
Jeremy sighed out in defeat. "We have to get the documents. ZEUS might infiltrate the building and steal the documents!"
"Why would ZEUS want the documents for the new experiment? It might not even work!" The female scientist cried out again.
But Jeremy was already out of the Safety room. He ran for his life to one of the labs and opened one of the many drawers at the corner of the room. He found the file, flipped it open and read the equations on it. He cursed himself. He can't simply remember this many equations!
Hurry up! They've already called the Strike Team!
Just a minute. I'm working on something!
Make it fast, Billie Jean!
Jeremy quickly grabbed the files and headed to the photocopier machine at the other corner of the room. He laid the pages on the screen as the machine scanned each one of them and a whirring sound of ink came out. Jeremy cursed for the machine to work faster and let out a sigh of relief as it finished quickly. He quickly took the original and placed it back into the drawer. The duplicated ones, he folded in fours and clasped it hard in his hands.
Suddenly, black mass engulfed the man. The male scientist morphed sickeningly back into a BLACKWATCH officer. He had no gun in his hand but the folded papers was in his palm.
ZEUS was laying extreme waste to the battlefield that occurred in the perimeters surrounding the HQ. The Strike Team offered no help whatsoever in bringing ZEUS down. Now, the monster had his Blade equipped. He ran forwards and sliced two soldiers in half. Guts and blood dirtied the street and it took the soldiers all they can to avoid vomiting in disgust.
A flick of movement was caught in the corner of ZEUS's eyes. A BLACKWATCH officer had jumped from ground level to 10 stories up a roof. The BLACKWATCH officer turned to face ZEUS and he nodded.
ZEUS grinned as he consumed another soldier before taking a deep breath. His Biomass level skyrocketed as ZEUS unleashed his DEVASTATOR. ZEUS exploded in tendrils and spikes, each of them impaling the tanks, soldiers and even the helicopters hovering above. The extensions contracted within a blink of an eye and everyone within a radius around ZEUS, was dead.
With a satisfied smirk, ZEUS took of running towards a roof, leaving the HQ in bloody waste.
Back on the top of the roof, the BLACKWATCH officer sat at the end of the roof, dangling his legs in a feminine way. ZEUS approached him, expression angry and downright pissed.
"You have to teach me how to do that move." The officer spoke out, not turning to face ZEUS.
ZEUS crossed his arms. "Some other time. Took you long enough to get the documents."
"Hey, it's not my fault they didn't bring it with them." The officer spoke. "Besides-" Black mass of sickly tendrils engulfed the Officer. It morphed itself back and there sat with a mischievous grin, was Billie Jean.
"It went better then expected right?" Billie Jean finished her sentence. ZEUS scoffed, a slight tone of 'What-am-I-going-to-do-with-you?' in his reply. He shook his head and Billie Jean stood up.
"Hope this piece of information is worth all the violence-less bullshit I had to go through." Billie Jean spoke angrily.
ZEUS smirked. "Oh, is someone angry that she didn't get to fight BLACKWATCH?" He teased her as he ruffled the top of her head.
"Shut up!" She flicked his hand away. "Let's just get home before Dana blows her top."
ZEUS eyes widened in horror as he remembered a crucial thing. "OH SHIT!"
Billie Jean turned, confused at his outburst. "What?"
ZEUS groaned. "The door. I broke the damn door..."
