2018

A virus was unleashed in New York city turning most of its residents into an infected. I happened to be there, on vacation, from my work. And as fate world have it, I'm one of the infected. But instead of turning into those abominations that most people turn into, I become something else, something different.

Then there was a man, cloaked in his hood, approach me. Says I'm different, says I'm gifted, says I'm part of humanity new race "The Evolved".

He took me in, help train me how to use my abilities. He explain to me that an evil organization called Black Watch releases a virus that infected the whole city as an experiment. He is one of the first experiment that survived. Says his name is Alex and there is also another one, the second experiment who survived and his name is James.

He needs my help or rather people with my capabilities. To stop the evil organization and to cure the city. Of course I'm in, having the chance to save the city like the comic book heroes that I often read heck yeah. He then brought me to another group of people, a group of "Evolved", a being like me.

He introduce me to James, an African-American, an ex Military. There, James help me discover my abilities. I found out I have super human strength, speed, endurance, healing factor not inferior to wolverine. How to turn my arm into blade arm, into claw, a whip, tendrils (Tentacle Tendrils), shield, how to applied the virus around my body creating armor like substance, and last but not least to consume other people. Consuming other people is like taking their every essence of being. Their DNA pattern, their skills, and their memory. It took me a while to settle down, especially about consuming other human being. That creep me out the most. Eventually, I got used to it.

One day, just like always, we were sent on a mission. To intercept a virus delivery he said. Strangely, this "virus" is guarded not by military men like it usually do, instead it was a group of scientist. No matter, the order is to get the virus and kill and everyone here. Here is where I found out my difference to those of my brethren, the "evolved". Turns out, this operation is a complete bait by Black Watch. One of the scientist fire, what it seem to be a gun, to my partner for the mission and he died. Curiosity got the better of me as I tried to consumed my partner. It works. I got his DNA, his skills, and his memory. After that I run, aborting the mission.

I reported the mission to Alex and James and they were not happy about it. Not because of me bailing the mission, but because the mission is a trap. I didn't report that I consume my partner though, that secret stay with me. I then asked others of my kind, the "evolved", are you able to consume another "evolved"? They laugh at me and ridiculed me. But eventually they said they cannot. It must mean that I'm unique then.

One day, I happened to witness Alex, arguing with James and then interrupted by a group of "evolved", a rogue "evolved". Alex and James consume them all. This is where I begin thinking, am I like them, able to consume other evolved? It was then that I discovered my desire for power.

I hunt down rogue "evolved" in town. One by one, they all felled by me. I consume them all. As I consume them all, my power grows even stronger. I also manage to consume a Goliath, an infected giant who rampage around the city.

This make me powerful beyond belief. It also makes me a bit empty. I walk down the street, trying to clear my head and found some injustice. A group of men are assaulting a defenseless woman. I ran out to help and quickly dispatch them with ease. The woman left after thanking me. This feels good, I thought. Seeing how happy the woman is, and seeing I manage to do something good. It feels good. I then remember why I accepted Alex offer. To help people in need, to become a hero.

I continue to help people, giving people food, protected them from the infected, so on and so forth. That is when James approached me, says he got a mission. I contemplated hard on this, but in the end I refused. James is furious at me for refusing and I ended the call. I destroyed the communication device that is given to me by Alex and went on by myself.

A couple days later, someone from Black Watch contacted me, meeting me in my usual hideout, in one of the rooftop at New York city. Says her name is Dana White. She invited me to Black Watch facilities, I thought it was a trap but something inside me is telling me to trust this woman. I agree and we went to one of the Black Watch facilities in town.

There, she showed me everything. Everything that Alex and James has done. The one that releases the virus and the perpetrator of the outbreak is none other than Alex and James. They releases the virus hoping to gain more brother, so the Black Watch hypothesized. But I think differently. They are looking for more "evolved" to consume, thereby powering themselves.

She explain to me that Black Watch, are sent from the government to clean up the mess that Alex and James has made. Alex and James is in fact not a prototype of Black Watch experiment, rather an old experiment of Nazi from World War 1. At first I didn't believe her, but then she showed me more evidence. On how Alex turned one entire village to an "evolved" and consume them all. How James was playing with a group of kids, turned them into an "evolved" and told them to devour their parents, so on and so forth. The deeds that they've done. Twisted, perverted.

I AM ANGRY. THOSE SON'S OF BITCHES. I'LL KILL THEM, I SWEAR.

She then offered me a deal. A deal which I am to stop Alex and James. I told her I'm not powerful enough and she told me that she can make me more powerful then it is. While I know that I'm likely to be used again, if I can end this infection once and for all, I agree and the deal is made.

The scientist team did experiment on me, albeit more humanly then what the Nazi did to Alex and James. They labelled me, The Third Prototype, as I have the same power that Alex and James have. I quite like it. It's cool. They gave me different things to consume. Infected that has developed a special abilities. I consume them and gained their power. The power of camouflage, the power to teleport, the power to breathe fire, etc.

And when I'm ready, something unexpected happen. Alex and James attacked the facilities. I'm so happy. They've come here without me needing to search for them. I confronted them and we battled for three days three nights. They are stronger them I imagine. I would likely lose at this rate. For some reason, after another bout of fight, they retreated.

I couldn't understand why they retreated. And then I do, a grenade, a purple grenade is right in front of me. I guess they retreated after throwing this. Fuck, I'm screwed. The grenade exploded, created a black hole that sucked nearby object then disappeared. Puff, and just like that, me and the entire facilities gone, without a trace, from Earth.
