Chapter 1: The Legion

Three people are running in the dead of night. Neon lights decorate the city as sirens blur in the background on hot pursuit of the parkouring individuals.

I finally understand the saying goodbye cruel world. Not a single person would be caught dead living in it if given the chance to go through what I’ve been through. It’s a cesspool filled with injustice, impurities, and unfairness. I only repaid such cruelty in kind. For there are way too many disgusting humans existing on this planet and I have a duty to reduce the imperfections to make a kinder world. Humans…humans are a blight on this planet.

Humanity is despicable and disgusting…

Taken back to a time where he and his gang once shadowed a politician who was taking an uncomfortable looking woman to a hotel. The man thought he was safe as he made sexual advances towards the woman and before she could scream they heard a doorbell. “Room service” the feminine voice sang.

“I didn’t order any room service” the politician said

“We have a specially selected wine just for you sir courtesy of the front desk” the feminine voice chippered “Please may I come in and give it to you kind sir?”

“Fine fine but be quick I’m in the middle of something rather important here” the man said disgruntled as he opened the door a hand grabbed at his face

“Oh we’ll make sure to be quick for sure. Idiot, if you didn't order room service then what kind of fool opens the door for those claiming to be room service are you stupid? It’s the oldest trick in the book!” A man clad in a leather jacket and a toothy smiling mask towers over the politician. Three subordinates bleed into the room all sporting masks. Two girls and two guys all holding tactical razor sharp knives. The politician was pinned onto the floor as the man has his knife raised at the ready

“Gagged the girl before she screams I’ll handle the piggy here” the masked man exclaims.

“WAIT!” the politician yells “Who are you people, what do you want with me! Let go of me!”

“We? We’re the boogeymen for people like you, see we got intel that you like to play around with trafficked women.”

“Disgusting pig” the masked girl in the fox mask wearing pastel shouts

“Man that’s just foul yo!” the masked man in black techwear sporting a ski mask spoke

“Using your influence this way? You must be stupid? A moron?” the girl sporting punk fashion and a decorative mask said airheadily.

“The only thing a monster like you deserves is death!” the masked man in the leather jacket said as he brought his knife down on the man.

“No, NOO!” In a split moment the man pushed the masked individual off of him and began to crawl only to have a blade sink deep into his foot, pulling him closer to be stabbed into his chest repeatedly.

The woman yells in the background and all four of them look at her..

“What now, Soda” the ski masked man said to the toothy grinned masked man

“Idiot don’t say my name when we’re operating!” He takes his blade out of the politician and points at the woman. “Kill her too, no witnesses.”

“Now hang on, we came to save her, didn't we?” The pastel girl with the fox mask said.

“Fuck no, we came to kill a rotten politician, she’s just colatoral damage. Think of her as a martyr, the last victim to ever exist in this world.”

“You heard him yo”

“Sorry lady, I’ll make it quick” the punk girl sighed as she raises her blade.

The muffled screams of the woman swiftly falls silent

Running down a dark alley, sirens getting louder as the group hops the gate in order to reach a cross-section of the street one of the members was hit by oncoming traffic

“Shit Sam, Soda!” the mask punk girl screamed

“Leave her, she’s as good as caught, if not dead, damnit!” as they continue to sprint in a frenzy.

Humans cheat to get ahead in life…

Thinking about the time when a gangster was committing illegal dealings with the casino manager to cheat in the games in a dark alley. They showed up from the darkness and it immediately became an all out brawl.

“Damn hoodlums, pieces of shit!” was all one of the mobs could muster before getting his throat stabbed by the ski masked man.

Soda backsteps a baseball bat swing from another gangster and stabs them in the jugular

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

“What are you morons doing they’re just a bunch of teens you’re trained to handle shit like this just kill them already!” the casino manager barked.

A casino guard pulls out a pistol ready to shoot and as Soda freezes in place the guard gets tripped by the punk girl in her decorative mask and she stomps the man's face into the concrete. The gun gets kicked across the pavement. A guard comes up behind the girl and grabs her waist.

“Hana!” Soda cries out and in a fury frenzied he runs at both of them and tackles them onto the ground, freeing Hana but ending up wrestling with the guard on the ground, blade in hand. Hna picks up the gun readying her shot.

“Don’t shoot you idiot, you’ll alert the police just get over here and stab this bastard!” Soda badgered .

Sam appeared with an all powerful kick to the guards stomach knocking him off Soda leading the man with the ski mask to finish him off. Knowing they were outmatched the gangsters ran away.

“Sam, Hana after the rest of the goons, no witnesses got it! We’ll have a little talk with Mr. Manager here” Soda quipped

“Got it”

“On it”

As they ran off after the remaining gangsters the ski masked man and Soda slowly looked at the manager, raising their knives.

“What is it you want, money? I got tons of money, please I’ll do anything, no, nooo GAAAAAAAH!”

“...we’re still going to get the money right?” the ski masked man responded…

Humans betray one another to secure their own safety…

Taken back to a time when one of our sources sold us out to the authorities and put us on the most wanted list. They were at a closed drug store just out by the bridge.

“We were a team, how could you do this to us?!” Sam roared 

“We made a pact to punish the wicked by any means necessary.”  Hana chastised

“You’re one of us, your hands are stained red just as well as ours for providing the intel we needed to go after these monsters, Yoshikuni.” Soda reprimanded

“But don’t you see, in doing so, we’ve become monsters. I can’t do this shit any more.”. Yoshikuni sobbed. “Listen I gave you a head start though, enough time to skip town, turn over a new leaf, live better lives.”

“Krieg!” Soda shouted, the man with the ski mask stood up and headed over to Soda. The gang surrounded Yoshikuni in sadness and anger.

“How much?”

“What?”

“How much or what did they offer you to betray us you bastard!” Soda yelled.

“I-I said I wasn’t affiliated and that they would spare me if I sold you out…”

“You son of a bitch, they lied to you” Soda punched Yoshikuni in the stomach and he fell over. “That’s what people do, they lie” Soda kicked him. “And you fell for it you weak pile of shit!”

“Oh we’ll get outta dodge alright but not before we deal with you, snitches get stitches. In your case you won’t leave here alive. We thought you were our friend yo” Krieg pulled out his knife and stabbed Yoshikuni in the back and handed the knife to Soda.

Sam started to cry as Soda stabbed Yoshikuni at the side, his screams ranged out to the night. Soda painted a bloody smile on his mask as he handed the knife to Hana. As she grew closer she growled.

“You screwed our whole operation” as she stabbed him under his chin. Yoshikuni has long since passed but it isn't over yet. Hana walked up to the crying Sam and handed her the knife. “Finish it,” she spoke.

“Sam walked to Yoshikuni’s corpse and while she cried out of fear and desperation she stabbed Yoshikuni in the back multiple times.

Soda walks over to Hana and paints herself a bloody smile to match. They all looked at their old friend lying dead on the ground for what seems like an age.

But the worst part is the spite of man

Loud booming rings of beeping echoed around Yoshikuni’s lifeless corpse and the gang panicked.

“Shit he had an emergency EVO this whole time?!” Soda shouted.

“Those things are distress beacons for high class people in need when their vital signs are in danger, how did his ass get his hands on one, shit!” Krieg stated

“Does it matter, we got to move now before-” Hana was cut off when they all heard something they dreaded to hear in a long time.

“POLICE HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM”

“TARGET DEAD I REPEAT TARGET FOUND DEAD PERMISSION TO OPEN FIRE!”

“Shit run, I’ll buy you guys some time” Krieg yelled, “Fuck you come get soooome!!!” He took out a concealed gun.

As Soda, Hana and Sam ran, bullets echoed from the store but they never looked back. Krieg was surely dead…

And that’s how we ended up in this mess!

“Where are we running Soda?!” Hana panicked

“I don’t know, I don’t know?!” Soda looked left and right and found his answer “The bridge over by the river, we can hijack a car and get out of here”

“Good as planned as any-” before being abruptly cut off, Soda stood there in shock…a police dog had bit down on Hana and she let out a loud painful scream.

“AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!” she cried and before she knew it two more dogs were unleashed upon her, biting down on her legs and arms. They were so caught up in their running and panicked that they failed to hear the dogs in hot pursuit. She looked at Soda desperation in her eyes but she knew better.

“Soda, don’t worry about me, run, Soda, ruuuun, they won’t kill me as long as one of us escapes!”

Soda, stricken with fear, anger, and sadness, followed his friend’s resolve to be left behind so her leader can escape. And so he ran as fast as he could in a feral frenzy. Making it to the bridge and running into oncoming traffic, flailing his hands for a car to stop. When one did he immediately ran over to the vehicle and broke the windshield.

“Hey what the fuck are you-” blade meeting the chest of the driver , he unlocked the door and threw the lifeless woman out of her vehicle and sped off.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAH,” he laughed in victory and defiance but it wasn’t so simple, just ahead the cops knew the criminal would head to the bridge, it was a trap waiting for him. Caltrops laid on the road and a brigade was waiting for him. It was too late,as the tires were slashed he spun out of control and the car flipped over. Smoke poured out of the engine, fire began to engulf the vehicle..

In pain, he groaned, “Fucking shit, it’s just one thing after a fucking nother…GAH?!r” looking down at his side he saw blood oozing out of his wounds, he was hurt really bad. Crawling out of the vehicle he made his way to the railing of the bridge.

The police closed the distance, guns drawn, dogs ready, riot shields at arms, swats on standby.

“It’s over Legion, or for you that’d be Kiyoshi Soda wouldn’t it.” A man in a trenchcoat, a mustache that twirls, straight out of the 90s. “We’ve captured all your friends, even the ones in hiding, your organization is as good as dead.”

“Caught?! More like killed, who shoots on sight motherfucker!”

“Honestly I’m surprised that a gang of teenagers can cause so much mayhem in this fair city of ours. You’ve killed a lot of people. Of course we would shoot on site. You’re all high risk and on top of the wanted list. You’ve killed civilians, officers, even government officials, we’ve been tailing your lot for a long time. What drives a bunch of kids to commit such monstrosity I would love to know.”

“Up yours I’ll never give you the satisfaction of knowing our ultimatum!” Soda climbs on top of the railing. The river below him, “I highly doubt you caught us all, what a bunch of bullshit!”

“Step away from the railing and come quietly, you have nowhere else to go, this heinous game you play…it’s over.”

Soda raised his hands, clenched in unbridle fury. “As long as the blight that stains this city remains alive to plague the world it will never be over, know that there will always be a legion!”

“STOOOOOP!!!”

And so he plummets, a free fall into his death.

Goodbye cruel world he thinks. Sorry guys, Krieg, Sam, Hana…it’s game over…”heheh…hahah…HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”

In that single instance the river stained red with blood and hellish fire arised. A gateway has opened and what seems like eternity of falling has made a crashing impact on brimstone and ash.

“So…you have finally come, child”...
