《Peacekeepers (COMPLETE)》49

I slowly climb a ladder and lay down as it jumps out another cockpit window. He sniffs the cigarette and then the air. He gets up and stabs into the train's tank. The man throws the cigarette into it before running like hell. I cover my ears as the tank explodes. As the fire dies down, he shouts, "I can smell you up there!" I peek over and he smiles, "You reek of cigarette smoke." I quickly aim the shotgun at him and fire, but he jumps out the way and leaps up, like some kind of feral animal.
I keep shooting and shouting at him. Eight shots later, he shakes his head while inching closer. I whisper, "I'm comin' Whiskey." His mouth gapes open wider than a hippo's maw as I slowly grab the flare gun's grip.
She slams the trunk door as I smile, "Thanks for changing our tire!" The young guy blushes, "No problem." I get in as he gets to his car. I stare at the wires as Whiskey gets in and puts the car in neutral, "Red to blue, don't die."
I knock them together and my hands jump away from a spark. "You won't die unless you touch the bare wire." I slowly make them touch and they spark, "Ok, rev it!" The engine revs and she puts it in drive. "All cars have a steering lock, just twist hard and it'll break." I smile, "Good to know-Who are we meeting anyway?" "You'll see."
Miles later, she waves, "Stop here." It's the Engen building. We both hop out and head in. "Whiskey, who's this?" The receptionist smiles with her hands under the desk. "Relax, she's cool." The woman pulls a gun from under the desk, "He's not happy that you stayed."

An elevator opens and it takes us up to the top. A large man sits behind bodyguards and taps his finger before looking up, "At least Norbert follows my orders." Whiskey shakes her head, "Didn't you see the video? We got a huge problem." He stands up and holds back his words, then continues, "I'm cutting our losses. He can infect others."
She looks down as I step forward. I halt as the guards raise their guns, "If we don't do anything, things will get worse!" He scratches his head, "Why are you in my office- Better yet, who the fuck are you to make demands?" He stares and goes limp, "Only one other person has that sadistic mug." I smirk, "We need to take him down."
Whiskey smiles at me, "What'll you need?" I turn back to the boss, "An army and fire weapons." He pauses, then looks back up at me. "If you get the tools, I'll give you the manpower." I walk up as they lower their weapons to shake his hand. "Come back when you have it."

Note: Slight edits to early chapters (and removal of one chapter - previously chapter 2) have been made 2/2/21 The city, my city, had once been alive in a way that was hard to describe. Thriving, active, hopeful. Vibrant. But life, as I had come to learn, sometimes possesses only the most tenuous of grasps. Finally, in the end, it became my city - mine alone. I was, after all, the only one left. Worse, it was entirely my fault. There was red in my ledger that could never be wiped clean. Not while I still lived, anyway. This story follows Eran, a man who became the opposite of everything he had ever wanted to be; in a world where superpowers began to appear in a rare few, his lack of control over his own power relegated him to the role of a terrible villain - the Reaper, named so for the countless lives that he absorbed and made his own, each only furthering his deadly lack of control. Gone mad with guilt and isolation, he strove for a single heroic act - his own demise. Death was less permanent than he hoped. Centuries later, he woke to a changed world and in a body not his own. Unfortunately, his power came with him. Yet this time, things would be different. This time, he had a chance to bring it under control. He could never truly make up for the things he had done; he could never achieve redemption. That wouldn't stop him from trying to be a hero. Cover courtesy of the amazing Vitaly S Alexius, author of Romantically Apocalyptic. Go check him out!

P.A.R.A.D.O.X. PROJECT: Aeon Genesis
The first project focusing on four protagonists within the same world set around fictional 14th-century Europe.This is the first P.A.R.A.D.O.X. PROJECT focusing on 3 (+1) protagonists within the same world set around fictional 14th-century-esque Europe. Each story has its own protagonists (Male or Female Lead), genres (mainly Western Fantasy), and can be read as a standalone. Status: OngoingUpdate(s) per week: 1Words per chapter: 3000 - 6000 *** ‘A human or not; a king or a servant; hope or despair; a hero or a villain.’ Depending on one's perspective and how each story portrays, one will view an individual or a group as evil or virtuous. Because of that, it depends on the reader and listener to believe which one is the truth. More people read and trust multiple (trusted?) sources that either complement or contradict one another. The contradiction becomes the source of debates between those who believe and those who don’t. From that difference in belief, two groups appear: The Majority and The Minority. The majority, having more people, suppress the minorities’ beliefs, claiming theirs, the majorities’, to be the truth. However, the majority are not only composed solely of those who share the same belief but also those who know the truth but afraid to admit it. They have to keep quiet and turn a blind eye for their safety. The majority had to submit to those with power and authority. With the majority under control, those with power and authority can create, manipulate, and/or fabricate truth and lies by force. The reason was for one’s or group’s personal benefits. In the end, there is no such thing as ‘absolute truth’; only sugar-coated lies created by the top. Don’t believe me? It is up to you to decide. Go and read it yourself.
