There was nothing coming so I started to cross the street until I heard gun shots. I looked to my left to see a group of vehicles speeding down the road. A large truck ran over two people while a man in the same vehicle shot at a group of task force troopers.

I knew I didn't have a mask but I had to do something so before I realized it I was sprinting toward the vehicle closest to me. I leaped high in the air once it got close enough and landed on the hood of the vehicle. I jumped into the bed of the truck when the man in the passenger seat began firing his weapon. The four men sitting in the bed stood and maneuvered toward me.

I elbowed the closest and kicked the man to my left off the vehicle. I shifted to the right to dodge a jab as I grabbed the arm of my assailant. He cried out as I threw him over my shoulder and landed on top of the truck. The largest thug in the group grabbed me and slammed down hard. I grunted as he tried to crush my windpipe.

I watched as my hands waved in the air wildly as I gasped for air. I clawed at his face as I gasped for air still struggling to breathe. I frowned as I jabbed him in the throat with my knuckles. He grunted in pain but he didn't release his grip causing me to punch him hard in the groin. His eyes widened as he cried in pain as I did it three more times. He finally let go allowing me to shove him off of me, but as I got up the other thug tackled me.

The two of us nearly fell over causing me to glance at the road below us. I could see people running away from this group of criminals. I saw too many people getting killed by these men and the task force seemed unable to stop them.

The man before me withdrew a pistol and aimed it at my head. I felt my finger twitch as I batted it away and pushed him off the truck. He landed on a parked car that was parked on the side of the road. I walked over to the passenger's window and leaned down to see the man staring at me.

He fired his weapon, but I had already moved out of the way. Glass flew away with the wind causing me to grunt as I looked back to see the other vehicles.  I stuck my arm through the window and grabbed the man's shirt.

I pulled him through as he continued firing his weapon but stopped when I tossed him to the ground. I opened the passenger's door and jumped into the seat and landed next to the driver. He looked at me confused as he reached for his gun but I snatched it away. I aimed it at his head as I signaled for him to keep driving.            

"Why are you all doing this?" I asked as the man took a sharp turn. I realized we were headed to a part of the forest that I had never entered.                    

"Dr. Lee.... He is the way to better days. He is going to be the thing that gets us through the dark times!"The exclaimed.

I watched he gripped the steering wheel tightly. He was nervous and possibly afraid for the fact I was holding a gun to his head. I hate guns and I despise the fact that I even had the nerve to hold one.

Unfortunately, I have to figure out what Dr. Lee is trying to do because his plans could affect the future for everyone including me. It's still unclear to me what my purpose in life is but I have no desire for him to possibly distort my future.               

"Where are you all going?" I asked.

I glanced back noticing the vehicles behind us were different from the ones I saw earlier. The task force were gone which meant this man had decoys following him. The vehicles behind us were much larger and some seemed to have crates on them.   

"Meeting up with Drex-corps guards... When the city gets hit they plan to capture as many humans and superhumans as possible. This is all I know."

I nodded as I noticed the man started acting strange. He began to drive faster.... Extremely fast and then I noticed a charge of electricity vibrating at his fingertips. Before I could react he had his hand on my chest and shocked me causing my heart to briefly stop. I dropped the gun and watched as he grabbed it. He did everything without any hesitation...especially when he pulled the trigger.

A sharp pain shot through my chest as the bullet went in and out of me. I grunted in pain as I briefly stopped moving and watched him continue to drive. My fingers began to twitch as I felt the burning sensation and this strange sensation I hadn't felt before. The strange mist began to rise as I reached for the steering wheel.

The man turned his head in surprise as I pulled hard on the steering wheel causing the vehicle to spin out of control.  We continued to spin until we dropped down a hill and began to roll. I didn't have a seat belt on so I found myself tumbling around in the vehicle.  The more we hit the rocks as we continued down the hill the more bones broke in my body. 

After a while I fell out of the window and hit a large rock which cracked my skull.  I winced in pain as I sat up to see the truck finally stop moving. The driver slowly crawled out of the crushed vehicle. I realized his legs were broken which meant he wouldn't be walking for a while.

I had to figure out where the other trucks were going and when Dr. Lee plan would take place. I got over to the man as he rolled over on his back. When he saw me he sighed and looked away. I gritted my teeth as I knelt down and grabbed his shirt.                    

"Where are the other trucks going and when will Dr. Lee's act on his plan?" 

The man chuckled as he glanced at me but then looked away. I slammed my fist down on his leg causing him to cry in pain. He stared at me as he reached for his leg causing me to hit him again.        

"Alright already! There's a campsite a couple miles down. Now about Dr. Lee's plan I don't know maybe a couple of days."

I nodded as I released the thug's shirt causing him to fall back and hit his head. I stood to my feet and walked away without another word. I had to know when he would attack the city in hopes to capture people.

One thing I don't get is why he'd need to capture superhumans. He must be planning to make them more powerful or.... kill them.  I realized it would be night soon which meant I would be able to sneak into their camp undetected.

I sighed as I began to wonder what the future held and what was going to happen.
I continued to walk down through the forest until it was nightfall. I saw lights after a while and realized that I could see the camp. I could see Drex-corps guards and thugs...it was the Black tiger gang.

Why would a group of criminals work with a group of men working for a science facility? Dr. Lee was involved in too many things criminal to be a scientist. They were carrying crates to trucks labeled Drex-corps.            

"Aye man, has anybody noticed that D.O.D looks sort of looks like Dr. Lee's wife?" A guard said causing the others to laugh. What was D.O.D and where was it?           

"Wonder what he be doing with her when his son Dante is not around. They both are freaks." Another guard chimed in as they continued to laugh while they started carrying around explosives.

These guards seemed to be extremely comfortable with talking bad about Dr. Lee when he wasn't around. On a truck I saw a woman perched on top of it. She had brown, long wild hair.

On some parts of her body there were dark stripes of fur like a tiger. She had vibrant amber feline eyes and moved silently like a feline. She had claws and she was slightly furry and she had a long tail.

I noticed her pointy ears that twitched when I stepped on a twig. I grunted realizing she may have heard me. She sat stiff for a long time before continuing her prowl around the camp site. After a while I noticed another girl with black, curly hair almost fully covering a round, gloomy face. She had orange fox like eyes and I could see a strange electrical aura around her. It resembled a fox or some strange creature with three tails. Around her neck was a blue star ball.

Who were these people and why were they here sneaking around? I realized that was exactly what I was doing at the moment. A fog began to appear around the camp causing the Drex-corps guards to look around frantically. What was going on right now? I could see another woman on the far side of the area and I realized the fog was coming from her. She had black, coily hair which hung awkwardly over a bony, cold face.

Her eyes were a clear blue which reminded me of ice. Slowly, I could hear guards and members of the Black tiger gang being attacked. I decided to move to a different place to hide and watch what was going on.  They were trying to destroy the crates that the guards were moving to the other trucks. 

Were they beings that wanted to stop Dr. Lee's plan or did they have a different reason for what they were doing. At least forty of the men were taken out before the girl with fox like eyes, was shot with a strange blaster.  She cried in pain as two of the tiger gang members grabbed her.

The girl that the fog was coming from grabbed one of the men and his arm began to freeze. He cried out saying it burned as a foggy mist came from his arm as he fell to the ground. As the man fell to the ground the woman was shot down as well.

The guards rushed at her with a collar and wrapped it around her neck. I grunted when I noticed the feline woman run past me. She stopped when she saw me out of the corner of her eye. With amazing agility she stopped and turned at an unimaginable speed. She grabbed me at put her claws toward my neck I grunted in pain as I felt my skin break.        

"I'll kill you."

She hissed aggressively as I grabbed her wrist and pulled it away. Her eyes were filled with ferociousness as she glanced over at her friends.           

"Who are you people and what is that aura around that woman?" I asked as she returned her attention to me.

She got so close I fell backward causing her to land on top of me. She was extremely close to me as I laid there waiting for her to get off of me or answer my question. She purred silently as she examined me for a long time.        

"I'm Akira. Our goal is to try to prevent a possible future where the world falls to darkness....you can see her aura? It could mean you have a form of aura reading ability or just infrared vision. Beings with beastly instinct have a certain degree of both...I can see her strange aura as well when her aura is concealed but only when I use these eyes." She said pointing to her cat like eyes.

I nodded as she got off of me and helped me to my feet. I began pondering her statement about my eyes. What the hell was I becoming? I sighed as we watched her friends get dragged away.                   

"What are you?" I asked as her appearance briefly became normal. She glanced over toward her friends as she slightly became agitated.                    

"Beastkin...there's not many of us left to be quite honest." She said.

I nodded while I began to ponder over the things I had no clue about existing in this world.  "I will take care of the guards so you can get to your friends."

She nodded slowly as I stepped from out of my hiding place.                           

"Thank you...I may see you again in the future. We all have our place in this war." She said as she disappeared into the shadows.

I sighed as I sprinted toward the guards and began my assault. The guards fired the weapons in my direction but I was moving too quickly.  I grabbed a gang member and threw him into a truck where he hit his head. I kept running as I grabbed a rifle out of a guards hand and slammed it hard in his chest.

As I continued to run I withdrew a blade from my jacket pocket and threw it at another guard's hand. It with threw his hand as it left his hand bleeding uncontrollably. I took out one of my inventions which was a sonic-boom grenade and let it roll into a group of my enemies.

A blue light lit up as a pulse of energy caused them all to fall away from each other.
I grabbed a crate filled with the collars and slammed it across the head of a gang member with a Mohawk. He cried in pain as I did it again multiple times. I finally stopped and threw the crate at a guard who began firing at me. I continued my relentless assault until Akira took out the men that had her friends. 

She glanced over in my direction and winked as she licked her lips. I looked away as I continued taking out my enemies until I got to a guard who morphed into...Dante.                    

"Ahh... you again. You really are becoming an annoyance." He said angrily as he stepped toward me.

Dante was only a couple years older than me I was sure of it. His bright yellow eyes sent chills down my spine as he got even closer to me. I was tired and breathing heavily as I approached him.                            

"Your father is going to ruin everyone.... What he is doing will turn everyone against each other." I said aggressively as Dante laughed manically as he stopped and stood before me.
He was two inches taller than me which meant he was probably six foot two.                

"The people do that themselves. They turn the backs on one another when they notice they aren't the same. It's pathetic really and extremely annoying. Though it's perfect for my future." He sighed as he stepped past me without a care in the world.

I grunted as my finger twitched as I turned to follow him. I was going to make him tell me where his father was. I grabbed him by the arm causing him to turn to me. I jabbed him hard which connected with his chin. He grunted as he stumbled backward.

He glared at me angrily as he morphed into me and laughed. I snarled as I charged toward him and tackled him to the ground. I didn't care what he looked like as long as I knew it wasn't him. I was growing tired the more we fought but I wasn't holding back.                    

"Where is he?" I roared as I slammed him hard on the ground.

He coughed in pain as he morphed back into himself. I punched him hard in the face as his nose began to bleed.                                

"I don't know damn it! He never tells me anything." Dante said causing me to sigh as I got off of him. He sat up as he began to rub his head while wincing in pain.            

"You're nothing but a lap dog then. Well coming here was a waste." I said as I turned and started to walk away. He called after me causing me to stop and turn.       

"All I know is he has a small group of superhumans helping him....they are powerful and may even be able to kill you!"

I snorted by his remark as I turned and walked away. I had no clue what was going to happen and when it would happen.
