Genesis: Reckoning-Draft

Intro Note:

The setting of this story takes place in an alternate reality where superhumans have been discovered after many years of hiding. These superhumans are made up of both the good and bad and therefore there will be conflicts, both smaller ones and larger ones and possibly a war, these conflicts may have been planned before they started or they just erupted for one of many possible reasons. I created this story on an impulse, an overwhelming urge to create something that will bring a fresh outlook on the corruption that humans can bring and the atrocities they can commit against those that are different from them so before you ask yes, yes this is a story about the corruption of humans and what happens when something different pops up. I know the basis of outcasts being found within the human race is used a lot but I wanted to do something different, a mixture of fantasy, the lore and intrigue of superhumans and various other things so for that I needed something I knew I could follow and it's this story, the story of outcasts and oddities. The year the story takes place in is around 2060 so yes, there will be high tech gadgets and various things that have happened since the writing of this story while some things before the writing of this story may not have happened at all. Note that despite this is fiction it does have a bigger story behind it, it isn't just about superhumans (which will be referred to as many things in the story, specifically Genetex) it is about what humans can do and the lengths they will go to to achieve their goals.

I created this because of the things I have gone through in life whether it be bullying or something absolutely horrid, this is my imagination and past coming into existence through words except they have been amplified. Because of that I will not be thanking those closest to me but rather those that drove me to be who I am today, those that made their choice and did what they did, those that decided to hurt me and make me an outcasts so I thank you. This story is supposed to tell you something about me and about the world as we know it and what could happen if it keeps going down the road it's going down. I really hope you guys and girls enjoy this and that you will want to turn to the next page because it captivates you so much. Well, this is my story, this is my Genesis, I hope you all enjoy it.

Prologue

"The year is 2020 and we are being hunted down to near extinction, each and every one of us. You may be curious as to who we are and the answer is simple, we are those oddities on Earth, the oddities you don't notice until they showed you; if you haven't figured it out by now we are the Genetex, what is that you may wonder well here's your answer, we range from mutants to freaks that decided it would be a good idea to splice our genes with animals, sometimes we are the cyborgs or men and women in power armor, maybe we are even those with the magic tricks, sometimes it is genetic, sometimes cybernetic and sometimes neither, either way we are special. The Genetex were the next wave of heroes and villains at first, then we were the supersoldiers, the hated and the loved but then something terrible happened though most of us are too young to remember. The world was in chaos, resources were down and the only thing holding the peace were the nuclear powers of the world then it happened, what happened may interest you and most thought it was a good thing, well it wasn't, we went into World War 3 due to an utterly large amount of oil found in the Artic, the main contendors were the nuclear powers, which at the time were The United States, The Russian Federation, Israel, Iran, South Africa, Japan, China, North Korea, South Korea, France, The United Kingdoms, India, Pakistan, Germany and the Ukraine with the only people capable of stopping the world's destruction were the heroes and the villains.

The two enemies, the heroes and villains, didn't want to work together at first but in the end they came together. The heroes and villains did what they had to do, they disabled every nuclear arsenal on the planet from Russia, to the USA to Israel who had just been found capable of decimating all of the opposition. In a fit of rage the world began hunting the heroes and villains down, one by one, slaughtering them, the women, the men and the children, some of the heroes fought back and all of the villains did, but most of the heroes just let themselves die because they were good people while the ones that didn't destroyed whole cities trying to save themselves while some of them were to weak. After four plus decades of hunting us down and killing us they thought us extinct, they were wrong and how that mistake would make them pay. Now we're back, there are less of us, yes but we have been refined to near perfection, some of us are stronger than the armies they used to kill us while others are weaker while some don't even have offensive capabilities but we're each special in our own way.

You may be curious as to who I am and I will tell you for you have been patient while you have waited for me to reveal myself, I am but one of many that want revenge, I am but one of few who survived, I am but one of few who have joined together and are waiting to strike, I was one of the first Genetex and I am still one of the most powerful. You can simply call me 'Bane', the one who will strike humanity down and destroy them for what they have done." He finished speaking and cheers erupted in the crowd below, his features were masked by a black, sleek visor-helm with his body hidden beneath a cloak black as the night but underneath rested a medium-sized figure in sleek black armor that seemed to be made out of snake scales and had eight black spider legs, black combat boots, black fingerless gloves that were rough around the edges, a black utility belt and underneath all of that black tights that fit his figure nicely, empathizing on his lithe muscles, he had shock-silver hair, a red tattoo of a fang beneath his right cheek, pale skin, crimson red eyes, delicate features and was overall beautiful and youthful for his age which was over two centuries and he appeared to be in his late teens, he truly was unique. He was in an abandoned warehouse, he knew it was cliche but it was an efficient place to gather up his kin for he was done waiting. It was his time to rise.

By his side were two women and two men, the two women in similar outfits. The one on the right was named Raven Tairos, she had black hair, pale skin and spider legs that were retracted as soon as he finished speaking, she had delicate features with high cheek-bones, snow white eyes and wore a red dress with eight ribs in the back that would move for her spider legs with red high heels. The one on the far right was named 'Prophet', she had silver hair, tan skin, claws, pure black eyes with no pupils and she radiated an odd aura, she hovered there the whole time wearing a white dress similar to Raven's with white, high-heels. Both of the girls were relatively young looking and they walked with grace and movements that said they were lethal everywhere they went. The two men on the right looked exactly the same and wore the same black vests, platinum watches, black and red sneakers, black jeans, gray shirts and platinum-plated Rhodium cross-shaped necklaces, both around the age of 16.

Raven smirked slightly and stepped up. "Soon, it will be our time. Our time, not the humans that think us dead. Our time, not anyone elses. Our time, our time to rise, our time to rule, the time where we won't fear them finding us at night." She spoke, her voice serene and beautiful and not like the million buzzes of multiple pitches and tones that usually made her voice. "I am Arachne, a true myth of of the ancient world. One of the first Genetex, I was not hunted, I was feared for my power, I was feared for my beautiful art work, I was feared for rivalling the so called Goddess of Genetex Athena in power. I was to be the next on the throne of the world, but I disappeared. I disappeared because I knew what was going to happen to my kin, and I hid, I hid like a coward as they were slaughtered! But no more." She said, ending with a heavy pant.

"No more will I hide like a weakling for I am not weak, I can level whole armies! I can help us rule. The other Ancients are few, not in the numbers they used to be, in ancient times the Genetex were in their prime but by Biblical times we had grown even more in power and become the supernatural, the ghosts, the mummies, the giant snakes, the other gods. With each era we grew stronger until we were just myths and a true God had taken his place, he was not a Genetex, no he was something else. He had ascended, or had he already ascended?" She asked, obviously appealing to the religious of her group. " He had kept us from harm for centuries! Centuries! And some of us abandoned him, some of us had run from him." She said, motioning to herself, obviously the group below was made up of a majority of religious people and with the fact that there were other Ancients she could also appeal to the scientific. "We have succeeded in making the perfect society, us the freaks and oddities, the outcasts, the demons, the monsters and even the angels! We were Gods and we fell from our throne, our blood becoming weak until we were myths and legends with few legends and myths in between like the oddities of the world now, the ones they can't prove or disprove. But now, we have risen again. In the last few decades our numbers jumped a thousand fold. So are you with me!?" She asked and got a cheer as she bowed and nodded. "Then let us ready ourselves for the onslaught." She nodded to them and turned away, a British accent evident in her voice, she walked off stafe with the crowd cheering behind her cheering so loud she could feel it beneath her feet.

"She always hits hard." A boy with a British accent on the left of the stage said as he walked away, his twin quickly following behind him. He was obviously the dominant one of their relationship, as his twin was slightly unnerved by the whole thing. His twin, Rai Tairos, was shaking, slightly clammy with a few beads of sweat running down his forehead. "Come brother." He pulled him into a hallway and dabbed at the sweat at Rai's forehead. "I do not want you to dirty your attire." Erison smiled at his twin who was breathing heavily, shaking with hunger, fear, embarrassment and nervousness, sweating ever so slightly, his white teeth chattering but he was silent other than the teeth and the motions of his body.

"Tha-thank you, Eri." He said, his voice softer and holding less confidence than his brother's as he smiled and they stepped out of the hallway, he shivered slightly as he followed. He wasn't used to this, he wasn't even sure what to do. He was so, oh so confused which was odd considering his abilities were par-on-par with Prophet's. 'Where is she anyways?' He wondered to himself as he blinked out of his day dream, looking up to see a single finger on his forehead and a smirking image of himself. 'How can we be twins yet be so different?' He asked himself with in the confines of his mind, he envied his brother he was so strong, weak, he hated this and he wanted to know how to be like him and with his 'awareness' of the world he should know. He blinked out of his day dream once again to see himself following his brother this time, who gave him a worried look obviously wanting to ask what was wrong but stopping himself from doing so.

The two twins were unique, they weren't sterotypical but they weren't far from it, they were so different from each other due to what Rai had 'seen' at such a young age but they looked the same though you could tell who was who if you just looked for the nervous one. Rai got nervous around crowds while Erison thrived in them, Rai never got invited to places while Erison was a social butterfly, Rai always thought he would fail while Erison marched forward and carried them both knowing that Rai would succeed due to his intelligence but not worrying about himself and always caring for his brother, Erison was special, protective, he saw what had happened to Rai and he saw what had happened to his mind over time. Rai swallowed his nervousness once again, quite literally in fact, and kept on walking until they exited the warehouse, a black car was waiting for them. The car was a sports car, sleek and futuristic in design with room enough for two. Erison smirked while Rai just turned to his brother and stared. "No. No. No. No." He whimpered as his brother motioned for him to get in but he obeyed albeit grudgingly. "I hate you sometimes." He muttered, grumpily. He blew up to get rid of some stray strands of hair.

"I know Rai." Eri snickered as he turned on the car and peeled out of the abandoned alley they had parked in, grinning as he did so. He turned on some music and listened. 'You just gotta dream, dream, dream...' He nodded his head up and down and started whistling, attempting to hold in laughter as his brother punched his shoulder. He licked his bottom lip as he pulled into the street, well slightly off it, and looked at the hover cars and various other vehicles, flicking a switch and looking to the HUD and status monitor to see the wheels retracting and slowly transforming into something that could provide enough lift. The wheels of the car each had enough energy to propel it at 100 miles per hour and with the light frame of the vehicle, the absolute lack of wasted space and the additional engine and the fact it could go to hybrid it was capable of 600 miles per gallon. It was a supercar, obviously. He sighed as he pulled to a mansion and the car hovered down, the manor was utterly massive and had various areas around it with extra buildings, pools, yards for sports and even a private lake filled with rare, exotic fish and some local ones. He inhaled heavily and spoke. "We're here." He said looking to his brother and smiling as he got out of the vehicle, the wheels already having come back out once they lowered down. The smell of fragrant flowers hit his senses as he gazed upon the manor and exhaled sharply, waiting for his brother. "And so it begins." He stated simply before they both walked forward.
