《Phantom Year one》Horrors of the Past pt2

At Lakeside Police department.
Almost every officer was called and as they stood together, they each had grim looks on their faces. The tense silence was broken as the captain walked in with his expression mirroring those of the men and women standing before him.
“I’m sure you all have an idea why you are here, and just so you know this isn’t happening just here. Every police department in the entire city is having one of these meetings right now, last night there was an explosion at an old warehouse and upon inspection this was found” saying the last bit an image of the cannister with the architect’s symbol on it was displayed.
As every officer laid eyes on it, they fell back into their memories each remembering the countless tragedies that had happened all related to that symbol. Naa recalled what that guy had done not just to the city but to her family, she remembered the state her father was in in the days leading up to his death.
Naa was brought out f her thoughts by the sharp pain she felt in her palm, looking down at her palm she realized she had clenched her fist so tightly her nails had pierced her skin. “… we have confirmed this cannisters contained the exact same chemicals used by the architect, we don’t know if he is back or not but the media has gotten their hands on this information and as you would expect the public is now in a state of mass panic”. Naa put her hand away as she focused on the captain’s words.
“The mayor is concerned and has given an order, from now on all resources are to be redirected to finding every thing there is to know about this cannisters. I want to know who brought these things here why they brought it and most importantly how many more of these are out there. I know you all remember the hell this city was for ten years, the good men and women we lost in the battle for this city and the five years it took to return the city to what it is today so let’s find the bastards responsible before they return us all to that nightmare. Get to it”

At the end of his speech every officer walked of with a determined look in their eye.
At Thompson enterprise;
Ernest Thompson stood before his T.V set watching the news who were all reporting about the canisters. “I was never a fan of the media”
“You said you would handle this; it was supposed to be done without drawing any more attention”
“I did, but there was an accident”
“I can see that!” Ernest exclaimed as he turned around throwing the glass at hand, Jessica lazily moved her head to the side just in time to see the glass shatter upon impact. “Because of your screw up everyone in this city is talking about the Architect.”
“I don’t see the problem with that, this city has always hated him and for good reason.” Jessica spoke as she took a seat, “besides I’m sure the Architect is too busy to pay attention to one small city”.
“What actually happened?”
“The Phantom… that’s what he calls himself right? Anyway, he showed up”
“How and why?”
“Well, that one isn’t hard to figure out, was probably after the car and found us by coincidence. He is playing superhero after all; I don’t know why you are so stressed about this anyway I can handle it…”
“No” Ernest cut her off, “You find the driver and take care of him, I’ll deal with the rest.”
“Whatever you say boss” Jessica spoke up in a sarcastic tone before getting up and turning to leave. Ernest watched her back disappear before turning back focusing on the T.V with narrowed eyes and a deep frown etched on to his face.
In the Bunker;

Ferdinand moved before Hank as he questioned. “Yeah, but your friend isn’t” Hank spoke as he made it back to his feet, “the people after him don’t stop, they are going to keep coming after him until he is dead trust me, I know”.
“You know? What? you’ve dealt with these guys before?”
“When the plane went down, I was with them for three years. This people mean business and they are not fond of people who betray them” “so what do we do?” Ferdinand asked, “I don’t know” Ferdinand stood understanding that the situation his friend had gotten himself into was worse than he originally thought as for the first time he could sense something which he had began to believe Hank Thompson did not have, fear.

8 452Just a Game
“A great corruption is spreading. The people cry out for a savior. For a hero. For YOU! Come join the fight, as the chosen of World Tree! Receive the blessings of the gods, battle fierce monsters, and become the hero you were meant to be, in Arcanum Online!” It was the cheesiest commercial Ethan had ever heard, but the gameplay was enough to draw him - and thousands of others - to the fantasy world of Lazuros. It’s the sort of place that can really draw you in - a huge open world, a deep character customization system, and a feature that makes time pass slower inside the game, extending your limited playtime! It was a little strange, though. As if it was a bit too realistic for a game of swords and sorcery. The NPC’s seemed almost alive, most quests didn’t reset and monsters respawned slowly. Still, for all it’s quirks, it was a good game! Just a game. And nothing more. …right?
8 341What in the World?

8 206Nexus
Not a real reincarnation. Welcome to Nexus. A place where the multiverse intersects. Chris Garcia was trying to do the right thing for his sibling when he is shot and killed. Instead of his soul moving on to the next life. He is given another opportunity. Well of course he takes it. Or there will be no story. He gets some ability then dumped into the Nexus. He has much to learn, lucky for him, his ability brings him allies so he won’t die so quickly. (This is my attempt to improve my writing skill. Constuctive criticism are highly welcome) *Note: Some things will develop fast. Other will be a slow burner. Tags will be added as I progress the story. (Honestly, I have no idea where this story is going anymore). Please don't rate this story yet. Give me till 100 chapter to figure out what I'm doing haha. If I can simply entertain some of the readers, that's enough for me. Thanks for taking the time to read! I decide to not edit past chapters. Only touch up on grammers if I get around to it. I want to see the progression of my writing skill.
