prologue plague

    My name is Grim or other words experiment 1, the first and only wolf from the experiment Alpha. I was a orphan no parents, no friends, no one miss me, so I became part of the Alpha program they trained me and the others at a early age but I was the youngest but also the strongest in both mind and body. At when I turned six they started the real experiment, we were drugged and put on lab tables then cut burned and cut some more.

    The scientists replaced most of our body with lyrium a new metal lighter and stronger than anything even obsidian, seventy-five percent of us didn’t make it another fifteen percent were unable to fight so the remaining ten percent formed a elite unit called the Alpha predator, a stupid name I know but well it is the best name that defines us. After a few more years of training we were finally sent on our first mission which ended with three dead and two wounded just because they were cocky and ran off, even though I thought they deserved some punishment I didn’t think they needed to die. Our mission was really basic, survive and move to the extraction point but I changed it up once I found a rebel shipment in the woods.

    Each of the team had a job either distracter or attacker but I was both, my target was the commander I lured him away with a fake transmission and knocked him out after everyone was done with their jobs we loaded up with the rebels commander locked in the toilet after jack our gas bag fumigated it for him. sorry bastard as we were flying back we got intercepted by the shuttle that was suppose to pick us up at the other side of the mountain, at first they thought us common rebel but after we named off our security codes we cleared that up.

    Once back at base we were greeted by Dr. Green the head scientist of this project and the closest thing I have as family besides my team she took me to the commanders quarters and was debriefed along with promoted to alpha in my team now I was the leader of my own team and was ready to do whatever I needed to. I dealt with people three ways first if they were my superiors I followed their orders, if they were my friend or family I would give my life for them, and finally if you are my enemy god help you because I will show no mercy.

    As we waited for the report on the results of the interrogation of the rebel I captured we were sent on odd jobs like assassination, rescue, and escort jobs while on leave I trained and researched the others didn’t get it but didn’t stop me from this I studied the human body drastically memorizing every nook and cranny followed by medical treatment and survival training, soon after I got into crafting things, it was easy for me thanks to my photographic memory Dr. Green thought this was the best part of me since I could understand her work even more than other scientists. After about three months we finally got a order about the rebels.

    Turns out they were hiding in capital city on harvest a mining planet and one of the biggest trade routes in the spartan system. Communication has been lost and ships have stopped coming and going from harvest so the higher ups sent us in to investigate the worst plan ever. As we were being dropped I loaded up on everything I could carry since I had a bad feeling about this, once we were on the ground it became even more troubling the entire city was completely deserted no signs of fighting or anything it’s like everyone just got up and walked away. I had three others with me for this mission jack, Charley, and scarlet, each in their own right as soldiers and couldn’t ask for any other to watch my back, Charley was our sniper she could hit a flies wings a mile away, scarlet is our navigator and a hot head if you mistake him for a girl you are in a world of hurt, and finally jack the voice of reason in our group he is hard to piss off but when push come to shove he does make a lot of explosions.

    Hey boss do you know what we are dealing with?(Charley)

    No but keep your guard up I really have a bad feeling about this.(me)

    You heard him guys that includes you Jack no playing nice with the enemy.(scarlet)

    Come on at least let me warn them.(Jack)

    Jack this is not hide and seek now cut the chatter we have a job to do.(me)

    After that we stopped talking Charley started to take the higher ground jumping from building to building while covering us.

    Hey guys you won’t like this!(Charley)

    What is it, what do you see?(me)

    Charley never acts nervous not even in firefights. I pulled my plasma sword out and pistol while the other two got ready.

    I found everyone and well they don’t look normal.(Charley)

    What do you mean?(me)

    You will see one in a few seconds he doesn’t look too good and is holding something in his hand.(Charley)

    As I looked up the hill I saw a human shaped form appear his skin purple, with glowing green boils all over his face and hands, his mouth covered in blood, black suit shredded, one hand a claw like from a mantis, the other was holding someones hand.

    Charley silently take him out make sure the others don’t notice.(me)

    Alright.(Charley)

    I saw her laser aim directly at it’s skull the next thing I know is the creature is running towards me. Damn this is why I like doing things myself ,as I was about to take it’s head off I saw his head explode as he fell at my feet. I look over to Charley as she just smiles at me. I sigh and continue on our path as we came up the hill we saw hundreds of creatures surrounding the central tower there was no way we could fight through all those things.

    Alright Charley you cover us don’t let anything sneak up on us but keep moving, jack you keep close behind me as back up if things go bad, scarlet you cover the rear once we get to the side alley throw a rock at one of the cars, after that we will take the buildings all the way to the central building find survivors and data on what is happening to this city then be extracted.(me)

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

    Alright sounds good just hope this works.(Jack)

    We all get into our motion and everything goes as plan however we had to move up a few levels because the creatures came in the buildings since there was no room on the streets. As we finally approached the last building Jack started to second guess himself with the jump between the building and behind the fence. As I heard the alarm become silent I pushed him off the edge and behind the fence. When I was about to jump I heard foot steps from the stairs as I turned I saw the creatures coming up as soon as they saw me they let out a howl and started running at me.

    I shot the two that were coming at me as I heard the horde of creatures coming to attack me I decided to collapse this level of the building so they couldn’t get across. I sliced the support beams in half with my plasma sword and jumped down to street level just before it collapsed. Once down I saw the horde coming at me I run down the alley then escape in the sewers. I radio the others to continue as I head their way. Once I got right under the building I cut a whole in the floor or should I say ceiling.

    After I climbed up I went from room to room searching for my team and I found them however they tried to shoot me when I turned the corner. It almost gave me a heart attack, I also discovered they were with a old Scientist.

    So who’s he?(me)

    Well he was the head researcher here.(Charley)

    We found him in the security room.(Jack)

    Damn coward hid while his coworkers were either eaten or turned into one of the infected but now he says he can help us if we take him to his lab.(scarlet)

    I nod and order my team to protect the egg head the trip to the lab was easy no infected at all just evidence of people in a hurry to leave. As we entered the lab I saw his work they were the ones that caused all this and dispersed it in the populous. I grab him and slam him against the wall.

    You bastard how many people have you killed huh how many lives have you taken?(me)

    Calm down it wasn’t them they were researching lyrium.(Jack)

    Well that code on the computer says other wise turns out he was the leader of the rebel fraction in this city and used his cover as head scientist to disperse a toxin that mutates human cells into almost unkillable monsters.(me)

    So a jar head can be smart to well too late now the virus has already infected the entire planet and there is no stopping it unless you destroy it’s food source oh one more thing thanks for volunteering to be my next experiment.(fucking mad scientist)

    He injects me with a orange liquid as I drop him we hear a loud bang from the entrance then see infected come running down the all luckily the doors were made to stop bullets or they would be in by now.

    Boss are you okay?(Charley)

    Please just stay away from me I can feel it in me.(me)

    You fucker where’s the antidote?(Jack)

    There is no antidote if there was he would have used it to clean up this mess.(scarlet)

    You fool I wouldn’t be so blind to do that your commander is the cure if he can control his new powers he can control the horde if not they will see him as lunch and he will become a even worse monster than the rest.(mad scientist)

    We should kill him.(Charley)

    No take him to Dr. Green!(me)

    I was still fighting to stay in control of my body but it was hard my senses were dulling the only thing I could feel was a endless rage telling me to kill.

    Are you crazy he should die!(scarlet)

    Enough I wont have this we are soldiers not kids now act like it, I can’t return like this but you can take the data and the person responsible now follow my orders and let me do what needs to be done!(me)

    Each one looked at each other the scientist looked smug but was soon corrected by Charley punching him in the face. I retrieved all the data on the council then gave it to Charley she put it in the side of the rifle and kissed me on the cheek if I could I would kiss her right now it would be the best send off gift a person like me would get but the world isn’t like that.

    My team continued to the roof as I stayed behind with the infected almost in I locked the door behind my team and sent a recording to Dr. Green.

    I know you are going to hate me for this and blame yourself for what happened to me but don't, there was no other way you always taught me you must take the life’s of others before yourself and I am doing that right now. My team will be broken but still strong it will be your job to fix it show them there is still hope in the world a future worth fighting for. As long as they live I will live as well people don’t die we live on in each others memories a person dies when everyone forgets about him. Don’t stop keep moving there will be more threats and our job is not over, thank you for everything and even though we are not truly family I consider you family thank you Grim signing off.(my recording)

    After I sent the recording I put the computer into overload and explode killing anything five meters near it. I went to sit down and wait for the end as I did I started seeing the faces of my team flash through my head I heard the glass finally break and the infected coming at me. Come on you fucks I hope you choke. Suddenly the computer explodes filling the room in flames the last thing I see before darkness is the red flames if I wasn’t dying I would say they were beautiful.

    I appeared in a black void still in my gear but my skin was burnt but couldn't feel anything from it. Suddenly a blue screen popped up in front of me.

you are now being reincarnated please wait

    Wait what? As I said that a light flashed and couldn't see anything.
