Prologue. (Test Chapter).
Jackie's head was fuzzy. It felt like he had been hit in the head by a sledgehammer. He wanted to fade into unconscious bliss, but a voice in the distance kept him from drifting.
"Estacado? Hello? Rise and shine princess." A voice called from the distance, as light slowly poured into his vision as he sat up in the back seat of a car. "What's the matter with you, ya pussy?" A man with a quirk that gave him the appearance of a weasel asked him from the front passenger seat. "You take one little baby-tap from a nightclub bouncer and you go to sleep on me over here?" He asked, waving his hands for embellishment. The driver shoves his shoulder lightly, prompting him to sit back down.
"Hey, leave 'im alone." The driver said, he has a pig-like quirk giving him rotund appearance. "I told you, he don't look good. That guy was a God damn gorilla. He was ugly too."
"The boss is gonna rip my nuts off when he finds out we never collected his money. Oh, man. We screwd the pooch on this one, Jackie. You know what he's like, if you don't collect, it's best not to even come home."
"Hey, the boss don't know nothin' alright? We'll tell him the money was gone before we got there. Maybe he'll be nice, 'cause its Jackie's birthday."
"He wouldn't know nice if it slapped him upside the head with a fifty tonne sledgehammer. Jesus christ, we've gotta get a plan here."
"OK, here, practical question. Do you think the boss will still want us to take out the foreman at that construction site? We're heading that way."
That was all Jackie needed to hear as the roar of police sirens chased after them. The next few minutes, could only he described as blind fucking luck for Estacado. The Weasel was dead, killed by a truck when he fell out of the car as Jackie opened fire on the cops with his shotgun. It didn't take long after that for them to reach the construction site, someone had apparently never told the driver how to fucking break as the car flew off of a small ledge and into a wall.
Jackie was miraculously unharmed. The driver was not as fortunate, his leg being broken with his bone sticking out of his flesh. Before Jackie departed, the driver gave him his birthday present. Twin beautifully engraved, silver and black 1911 pistols. With a quick thanks, Jackie set out to Whack the foreman. He knew it wouldn't be easy, but his blood ran cold when a guttural voice whispered to him in his mind.
'sOON'
Jackie wasted no time, gunning down the construction workers as quickly as he could. Making sure to be careful in his approach, especially since most of these fuckers had a quirk of some kind. After gunning down most of the sites workers, he finally made it to the foreman office. It was a trap set by his boss. Jackie had never met the fucker in person, but he was lucking forward to putting a bullet in this fuckers head now. Fleeing from the room, an explosion flung him through a window and into an alleyway. He followed it, limping at the pain. He made his way into a cemetery, barely avoiding an ambush. To his misfortune, there was no way out. It was a dead end. "Fuck." He grumbled. Turning around, he gripped his pistols firmly as he went to face his destiny.
As he walked down the hall, his pursuers shot through the windows, trying to hit him. Jackie could hear them shouting to each other. Over the sound of attacking, Jackie heard the voice again.
'THrough YoU. I WilL DiSPlay my POWer.'
Jackie's legs began feeling weak as he stumble slightly, his back hunched over. As he felt a weight upon his back.
'THrough YoU. I AM BORn.'
A cold feeling rushed into his body as a large, barbed tentacle stretched out from behind him, whipping the restroom light, shattering the bulb. It stabs into a wall and drags Jackie forward, as they turn around the corner, one of his pursuers falls back at Jackie's new appearance. "What the fuck!? You're supposed to be quirkless!" He reached for his gun but was stopped as his stomach was ripped out by a large serpent protruding over Jackie's right shoulder. A second appeared over his left as it bit off the goons face. They look up at the rest of the attackers as they drag Jackie outside. The right side serpent, suddenly glares left at one of the goons who hid behind the door frame. It clamped its jaw around his face and whipped his corpse behind it. One of the attackers tried to flee, using his flame quirk to gain higher ground. It did him no good as the tendril ripped forward and stabbed through him. Snapping his spine and ripping through his heart as it tore out of his body. The tendrils held his corpes there as Jackie was forced to his knees. The right serpent slithered along the ground, Jackie could see through its eyes as it snaked around a tombstone and viciously chewed the throat out of one of the goons who were hiding behind it. It swiftly retracted back to Jackie as he rose. The serpents smiled as a large black hole opened between the remaining attackers, it swiftly swallowed them, It nearly took Jackie too if the tendrils hadn't stabbed into the nearby wall and held him away from it. The black hole suddenly burst as it flung the goons in all directions. The attackers were dead. As Jackie stood, he heard the voice once more.
'YoU ARe NoThING BUT My PuppET'
End of chapter!
It's not very long, I know. But this is just to see what people's responses will be to it. I love The Darkness games and I love MHA. I know I'm twisting the rules which I don't like doing, but I need to in order to make a compelling story. But, this one will have a twist. YOU, the readers will be able to turn Jackie's tale to your whims. At the end of the chapter, I will give you choices (or you can suggest your own.) I will give you time to vote and a date by which the vote will end and I will make the next chapter around that. You have the power change the story. I think it could be fun, and I always wanted to do something with audience participation, you know?
Anyway, I'm tired as a mf, so I'm going to head to bed now. Thank you for reading and have a great day/night.
