The group arrives near the safehouse. Karl is helping walk through the woods away from th ecar as Issac types on his computer.
Jackie: Ah... Are you sure they wont be able to track the car back to us? (coughs up blood)
Karl: Jack take it easy you need to rest we are almost to the warehouse.
Issac: Relax just take it easy I made sure to ping the cars signal all around and I disabled any footage of us in the car so no one knows we came here. I just have some quick questions. Seriously who the hell are you guys? Why did you save me? Who the hell was after me? Why can't we go to the cops?, and what the hell was in that pill you gave me because i can't even feel this shoiulder wound?
Karl: That can wait we need to get him inside now and get him bandaged up.
Issac:Okay, Okay your right.
Jackie: You got to get issac to hack their databse as soon as we get in Karl.
(He breaks away from Karl opening the door disarming the traps, then wabbles to a table to get to a jar of pills)
Karl: Jack calm down. What database?
Jackie: Just get him to look at some of the usb drives in that box nest to Amanda.
(He sets an alarm and begis to fade out conscientiousness)
Jackie: Tell Iassc to pull everything he has on biological projects, specifically anthing that affects the brains memory. Now I got to rest.
(Jack falls to the ground)
Karl: Shit. Jack! Jack!
Issac: What the hell are we going to do?
(The scene slowly fades away)
12 hours Later-
(Jackie awakes to find his gear put up and his bandages and mask gone)
Issac: Holy shit! These fuckers have designs for mech armour in here.
karl: Thats well and all but focuson finding anthing notable about them like people of interest.
Issac: Roger that just let me copy down the design for the suit and some other gadgets. Okay we are starting to k=get some days. Let's see there is Brett Sims, Elizabeth Chum, and Toria on the their of key individuals.
Karl: Elizabeth Chum she's a leading expert on nanotechnology.
Issac: Yeah, In fact the last thing I heard about her was she was working on some sort of of secret project. So I guess they are after her work to I guess.

Karl: Yeah, probably.
(jackie approaches them with bandages covering his face)
Jackie: So have you found anything useful about Amanda's conditon?
Issac: Jesus Christ! When did you get up and by the way you don't have to wear the bandages I saw your face already.
Jackie: Force of habit now Karl tell me everthing you learned about the drug.
Karl: Okay but you are still you going to need some rest. You took a good beating.
Issac: Hell I'm suprised his a live let alone walking.
Jackie: The data now.
Karl: Okay, okay here this is everything Issac got from them regarding the drugb ut seriously Jackie you need some better attention to your wounds.
(Jackie lifts his shirt and they look dumbfounded on his perfectly healed chest)
Isaac: Damn!
Karl: I guess you really can take a beating. ( He clenches the document sin his hand.)
(Jackie snatches the notes from Karl's hand and starts walking towards a a locked room, he pushes the key in and opens a room completly filled with chemicals and equipment.
Issac: Damn its just like you said Karl he really is a seious son of a bitch ain't he.
(Jackie starts to run the machinary and begins to program the machines, and starts to mix the chemicals together)
Issac: Well you see Karl got me up to speed to what you guys are doing, and I want in. I think I could really like this sort of adventure.
Jackie: Of course that should have been my approach from the start. (lloking at the data why mixing in more chemicals and firing of more machines)
Issac: Well any way me and Karl have began esearching these guys tech and notable people they are looking into.
Jackie: I See(still focused in his work)
Karl: issac come on leave Jackie to his work we should probably keep looking into the groups targets.
Issac: Okay just give me a second so Jackie from what I hear from karl you seem to be the real serious type with no time for fun, so why are you doing all this living the dream here with all this tech. I mean Karl informed me about what happened to him and the Doc over there who may I say looks divine. So I understand that Karl is doing it for some sense of duty, but why are you? I mean the only thing I can think of is that you are in it for the thrill or the cause. I'm fine with either but I would really like to know because you scare the shit out of me. The only way i think I can feel comfortable is too know your motivation.

Karl: Okay, Issac that enough He doesn't have to tell us anything I can tell he is doing it for a noble cause. so leave him be.
Issac: Listen Karl I trust you and him to a lesser extent but i would really like to know more about this guy.
Jackie: It's done.
(jckie walks over to Amanda and sticks her with the syringe, she begins to yell and move manically all over)
Issac: Jesus what in the hell did you just give her?
Karl: Amanda!
(Jackie waves a cloth saturated with chlooform over her face and Amanda passes out)
Issac: Okay Karl I'm sorry but I am really starting to get fearful of this pycho
Karl: Issac just calm down! Jackie how is she>
(Jackie checks Amandas pulse and temp.)
Jackie: She is still breath and her temperature is normal, so as long as nothing else happens she should be fine. She should only have about five and a half years of her memories gone. It seems I have finally made a syrum with positive results.
Issac: Wait what do you mean finally have. Oh my god you have done this shit on other people.
Karl: Now Issac calm down he was helping people.
Issac: Helping people Karl wake up you said he was the real vigilante didn't you! This is thesame guy they have a string of dead bodies too.
Jackie: They were all being controlled with the mind control syrum from Heaven's Sword. They were as good as dead anyways I just tried to make good use of the situation.
Issac: Good use of the situation! Listen karl I'll help you all you want but this pych he doesn't give a damn about people look at him he tests on people not enven considering their lives only the results.
(Karl approaches Issac)
Karl: Listen Issac Jackie as I said has a nobel cause he wnts to help people like Amanda. He wants to help better the world and rid them of the likes of Heaven's Sword. I can tell that he is truly a force of good.
(Jackie starts to laugh maniacally)
Jackie: A force for good that is just rich.
Karl: Jackie.
Jackie: Oh karl, I am not some holy knight trying to fix the world like you. I am only in it for my goal, and I would battle goad and devil for it. I would even forsake ecerything else good in my life to obtain my goal.
Karl: I don't believe that you seem way to nice and sincere to people.
Jackie: Oh wake up I am what I need to be nothing more nothing less.
Issac: You sick freak. I'm sorry Karl, but I can't stay here with him.
Jackie: Don't bother I have everything i set out to do so far. Here are the keys and details of the traps. I am going to be taking a copy of your notes then you never have to see me again.
Karl: Wait Jackie don't go we have a list of people who we can get to help us. We can make a team to fight them. Come on Jackie I know you said you are only interested in your goal, but I know this goal has to be something noble.
Jackie: No Karl It's not. I am only interested in maintaining the balance. Goodbye Karl.
(Karl drops down to the ground completly overtaken)
Karl: but I... thought...I...thought.
Jackie: Maybe in a different life. I can say that if we had met under different circumstances we could have been friends karl. Bye!
(Jackie leaves the warehouse with the nots and his gear his motorcylce can be heard pulling out)
Karl: The Balance?
(Amanda wakes up and begins to question where the hell she is at)
Issac: Karl come on The pretty Doctor's awake. We need to help her out.

Karl: Okay
Karl: (to himself) What the hell did Jackie mean by balance.

The Queen's Guard
Friedrich Schreiner is a proud gefreiter of the Queen's Guard, 2nd Company: the finest fighting infantry on the continent (barring the Temple Guard; but please don't bring that up). Service is honourable but, with the Empire on a peacetime footing, terribly boring. Affairs take a dramatic turn for the worse when a mysterious invader uses a forgotten and taboo magical means to breach the capital, plunging the nation into chaos and endangering the royal family. With events spiraling out of control, Friedrich is entrusted with a critical mission. Will hot lead, cold steel, and his determination be enough to see him through? The Queen's Guard is what I'm calling a black powder fantasy story: it's set in a loose equivalent of the early 18th century (plus or minus a few pieces I decided I wanted or didn't want). Magic exists, but not in a spell-slinging sort of way: it's Earth-shaking undertakings or minor enchantments forged in by master craftsmen, the grand working of a secretive cabal or a slight nudge to the course of a blow. I, the eternal optimist, have a full trilogy in mind. The first book is The Prince's Arquebusier, hence the cover and the title disagreeing! This is my shot at 2021's NaNoWriMo and RR Writathon! I've hitherto been terrible at writing long-form fiction, so this is an effort to break out of that by having some accountability in being supposed to post chapters regularly. Here's hoping it works! I have an outline, but not too much detail. I'll do my best to avoid continuity errors, doing anything glaringly stupid, or otherwise fluffing my lines, but I can't make any promises on that. Please do let me know any feedback! Always happy to improve. [participant in the Nov 2021 Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Kieren is a young man who is the heir of his family's powerful corporation.

Authors Comment: Hello guys, I am bilingual, sorry if there is bad grammar or it just doesn't make sense or something along the lines.
