INT. ALO'S ROOM - HEADQUARTERS, WEST VIRGINIA, USA - 6:00 AM - JULY 18, 2019
Alo is sleepy soundly in his room, snoring peacefully like a baby in a crib. However, the doctor-turned-A.I has other planes. All of a sudden, an airhorn sound effect blasts throughout the mansion, waking Alo as if he was in a horrid nightmare. "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE UUUP, RECRUIT! TIME TO GET YOUR DAILY DOSE OF TRAINING, MAGGOT! - "
" - WHAT THE FUCK CAN'T YOU JUST WAKE ME UP NORMALLY?!? GOD!", he exclaimed as he rubs his the corners of his eyes, he wasn't wearing anything but his black boxers.
"Heroes don't wake up no longer than 6 in the morning, walk it off. Plus I'm getting the hang of this 'drill sergeant' attitude, makes me feel like Sergeant Dornan or 'The Soldier' ", Alo ignores Richard by getting up and heads out to the hallway, going to make breakfast.
INT. BATHROOM - 6:05 AM
The shower automatically turns on once Alo stands on the sensor built into it, using the bathroom soap and shampoo to clean up.
INT. KITCHEN - 6:10 AM
Alo cooks up a couple of meatballs, wearing a black tank top and black boxers. A clean white towel is wrapped at the back of his neck.
Later on, he eats his breakfast and grabs a cup o' joe (that means coffee), which is weird because he mainly drinks alcohol, now he drinks black coffee. He smacks his lips and wash the dishes, before calling Richard.
"ARE YOU SET, SOLDIER?!", as the voice booms, the teen poking around his left ear mildly disturbed by his shouting.
"Yeah, yeah, where are we going to train? You said this is a mansion.", Richard figuratively rubs his chin, despite being physically non-existent and has an idea. "Okay, okay, okay, okay. Let's go to the Courtyard, it's where I mostly do my target practice there. Just head down to the Ground Floor and go outside. Don't worry, we're out of society's reach, not a single person can hear you scream.", Alo gets in the elevator and presses the 'G' button, closing the elevator doors before him.
INT. GROUND FLOOR
Once the doors open, Alo takes a gander around the Ground Floor, which is just like any normal office lobby, some potted plants, decent paintings and a large sliding glass door leading outside. As Alo nearly approaches the door, the sensor activates, opening it for him.
INT./EXT. COURTYARD
The gusts of wind greet him and the peaceful wilderness made him feel calm and collected. He still feels depression from his old life, but smiles a little at the beautiful sight of the Appalachian Mountains. He waltzes to an empty field in front of the building, and looks behind him. "Oh my God.",
The sight of the Headquarters was a thing to behold, from an elevational standpoint (a term in Trigonometry), it's a futuristic X-Mansion, with a flagpole above it, yet no real flag has been displayed.

He then hears a humming behind him, "Like what you see?", Alo meets Richard, dressed in his coaty best. His hands are still in his pockets, his expression pretty much the same as he first met him. "The building has a holographic system that has a range up to 500 to 1000 meters. Pretty cool."
Alo backs off a bit, "Is there anything else this place doesn't have?", he questions with bewilderment. The doctor just smiles at him, "Nah, a few kids like you here and this place is livelier than the Great Depression."
Richard starts to pace around him, rubbing his hands for some reason. "So, welcome to the Courtyard. Where we train future juveniles into becoming "protectors of justice", aaand blah-blah-blah. You might be asking to yourself; 'But Richie, train? I don't see any monsters around here? Am I going to fight the wind like a Shaolin monk?' No. No, you don't.", he looms at the ground for several seconds, making Alo uncomfortable.
"Golf-Eagle-Tango, Uniform-Papa. Block Numbers 3, 4, and 5.", the ground starts to erupt violently, paving a way for groups of rusty robots, erupting from the ground like a bunch of zombies. They are grouped accordingly to numbers as seen on their shoulder plates which displays their block numbers. Their base color is pale blue but their mangled features does bring some false sense of security.
First, Alo notices several bullet holes and small-to-medium sized dents, presumably Richard's weapons training. Second, they are rather thick, large and presumably bulky, maybe the one who designed this prefer function over form. Nonetheless, Alo doesn't see them as a challenge. In short, they look like the RoboBrains from the Fallout series.
he robots beep in Morse code which Richard chuckle in response, "Good to see you guys still hate me.", he motions to Alo,
"Alo, these are Com-Bots, its a really sucky name, I know. It rhymes with cuuuuu - nevermind. These guys can pack a punch even with your powers. Despite their rustic appearance, they are updated with commendable combat A.I and can equipped with electrical batons and loaded with shock blasters.", Alo moves backward, away from the robots and Richard, afraid of their sizes. "Richard, I dunno if this is gonna work - "
Richard frowns at him, "STOP YAPPING THERE MAGGOT AND GIT TA' KILLIN' I WANNA SEE THOSE HUNK A' METALS FLY AND TEARS IN YER' EYES! OR ELSE YOU'LL BE NOTHING BUT A LITTLE CITY ASSHOLE PIPSQUEAK WHO JUST LOST HIS PARENTS FROM A SORRY-ASS BUSINESS TRIP!", and used TF2's Soldier voice in full volume, but realizes his mistake. "Perhaps I have said too much..."
Alo snaps at Richard with a death glare, "Aight...", then glances at the bots, their left and right arms switch into electro-fists, preparing to beat the living daylights out of him. The doc steps back, watching Alo and the Com-Bots begin their onslaught.

The first batch of Com-Bots charge up their shock batons and are about to bash Alo, but the teen grabs one in defense, withstanding the electrocution and uppercuts the bot, flying away for several meters. Three bots strike him in the back, grunting in pain yet grabs both bots and mashes them together, frying their systems. He grabs both batons and by the handle and start blocking their attacks and defeating the rest of the bots swiftly. This went on for 2 and 1/2 hours before one bot manages to break the Alo's baton, then fires its shock blaster close to his stomach, further tazing him vigorously, putting him on the ground. The bots thought Alo's will can bring him back up, so the second and third batch of the Com-Bots gathered all around, beating Alo mercilessly.
Alo, foaming from too much voltage absorbed into him, lies on the ground his face looking at the grass waving peacefully as his vision blurs, off-screen he can hear Richard's voice, screaming at the bots and telling them to shut down.
Damn...that hurt.
INT. ALO'S ROOM - 9: 30 AM
Alo gets up sluggishly, looking at Richard who obviously feels guilty about what he said before, squatting on the floor, his head slumped down. He wanted to create a perfect team of superheroes to defend the peace and order of his planet, along with the decimation/extraction of The Eye, however, Alo guessing what he thinks, the doctor has ruined his first impressions with the brawler he expects to leave him, then go back to his old, dirty life.
There was silence between them, before Alo nonchalantly spoke up, "Am I allowed to get out of here?", Richard sighs as he anticipated this.
"Sure, the nearest town is a few miles, and...sorry for what I said.", even he lost his brief relationship between him, at least he apologized. Alo merely ignored this and exits his room, leaving the doctor alone. Off-screen he can hear the distant 'DING' from the elevator.
Not too long he hears Alo, saying the same codephrase as he did before, Richard gets up from his spot. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
EXT. COURTYARD
Alo stares down at his fists, glowing brightly and electricty flows from the outside. He closes his eyes and concentrate on his energy. He can feel his all the pain from before fading away, letting the electricity spark drastically, consuming his shoulders before finally unleashing a powerful wave, that made the forests of Appalacchia flinch backwards from the source of the shockwave.
Alo gently opens his eyes to see his shoulders are transformed into gigantic crystallized fists. There was no time to think for anything sad or depressing, he feels joy and excitement as he smirks at the Com-Bots, backing off from the First.
"C'mon, Cum-Bots. Round Two.", he smashes the ground using his left hand, causing a massive earthquake, as the ground cracks towards the entirety of the bots' position, Alo rushes to the horde, his fists now filled with lightning to the brim. Once the crack stopped moving, massive surges of electricity shoots out of the ground, shocking the majority of the bots' circuits. Then like a daredevil passing through wall of flame, Alo jumps out of the torrent of lightning and smashes a bot into a pulp.
Several Com-Bots lifted themselves up, and shoot their blasters, however Alo didn't feel anything thus his new powers are; Immunity to electricity and tough, crystallized fists that seems to conjure, again, electricity to fry his opponents and disable machines similar to an EMP blast. He looks at the bots and instantly dashes to one, behind him is a charred trail (super speed). He tears off the blaster, transfers the current of his fists to the blaster and lets out a huge laser beam. Letting out his pent-up anger, he aims the beam at every single robot he sees, some even disintegrated in a small amount of concentration.
But a surprise attack from behind caught him off guard, knocking him down. More robots surround him, yet the teen gets up lets out a war cry the bots one by one like last only with newly formed powerfists.
INT. ALO'S ROOM
Richard watches in suspense, looking at his first candidate lay waste to the training bots with a newfound power he hasn't seen before. Flashes of blue light along with small explosions made Richard remember his first mission together with Ralph and his team. He smirks, then fist bumps in the air, "YUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSS!"
Now their mission begins.
EXT. GREEN BANK - WEST VIRIGINIA, USA - 6:50 PM
Native citizens around the Appalacchia come and go to withdraw and deposit their money within their local bank, the Green Bank, although the bank is secure, the guards are always on edge due to the area is National Radio Quiet Zone. According to Wikipedia, "The National Radio Quiet Zone (NRQZ) is a large area of land in the United States designated as a radio quiet zone, in which radio transmissions are heavily restricted by law to facilitate scientific research and the gathering of military intelligence. Roughly half of the zone is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of west-central Virginia while the other half is the Allegheny Mountains of east-central West Virginia; a small part of the zone is in the southernmost tip of the Maryland panhandle." Basically, reinforcements are not available here on any source of communcation. But if an officer is authorized to order said reinforcements, the conclusion is pretty much the same as it will take a longer amount of time to arrive and assist.
A black van parks far from the bank, in it are several disgruntled men. The one in the driver seat scout the bank using a pair of binoculars. He smirks devilishly, delighted on his diabolical plan. "10 million dollars. Gotcha', sucker."

Apex Predator
Earth is a fairly small place, but it's all Bath has. It's the only home he's ever known for all of his 500-or-so-million years of life. One day, Bath realized his treasured Earth was being drawn into the next mass extinction ahead of schedule. So, fascinated by the humans and their quick rise to power (after all, setting off a mass extinction is a pretty sizable achievement), what's a nearly all-powerful, somewhat bored, morally ambiguous, savagely violent, shapeshifting alien entity to do other than assume the form of a human and do some front-line investigating? Little did Bath know he would soon stumble upon a mysterious human organization with a gate leading to planets eons away. And that's just the beginning... A story with aliens, intergalactic space travel, mind powers, and an abundance of adventure! Author's note: ON HIATUS! Hello and thank you for reading! Constructive criticism and grammar-policing are both appreciated. Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are complete at 1271 pages! Part 7 is in progress! If you've ever read any other web serials, you might've noticed that authors get better with time (that is, their art or writing improves). Wutosama of Metaworld Chronicles noted that the first 20 chaps are always a mess. This is also the case with Apex Predator. The first two parts (ranging just under 30 chapters, or 161 pages) are absolutely subpar. While I have edited them as of 7-10-18, they require a rewrite, which is currently in the works but not complete. For a sample that gives insight into what the latter ~80% of the story's writing style is like, check out chapter 56. Vote for Apex Predator on Top Web Fiction! The Apex Predator Discord is here. Cover: original work done by me, the author, caerulex.
8 275The Legend of Rayola the Deathless [Dead]
[This story is Discontinued] Another story based on the lore, which has been expanded and with far more details and hopefully better writing shall be released later on. After about the tenth time she died, Rayola started to think, that maybe she didn't come out quite right, even by supernatural standards. Of course, the pale white skin and hair, plus the blazing orange eyes might have been a clue and it was getting harder and harder to blend in. To top it all off, she has no memory of who she is and there's an incredibly suspiscious, snarky voice in her head making quips about her life choices. Even worse was the inability to sleep. At first, she thought that maybe she was just an overly messed up zombie or even a vampire! But she was proven wrong time and time agian... there were too many inconsistencies and it made her uneasy. The final straw was the issue with her own identity. At first she was okay with being her own brand-new person, but as more and more ghosts of her past started to slowly catch up, she had no choice but to set off on a journey... A journey to discover who she once was, and to find out what had happened to her. It was for no noble cause but merely one for personal salvation. Yet, her actions left behind a legend in her wake.

Truths, Lies and Bilgesnipes There are children you can leave unsupervised for an afternoon without courting danger.
