  'Genesis '

Section 0.0.1



            A chestnut-brown-haired teenager silently wove through the labyrinthine complex of streets in Sector 13 of Destine Fortress. She gritted her teeth and furrowed her brow, etching an intense expression onto her otherwise radiant complexion as she hurried towards Genesis Tower. The girl chided herself: "At this rate, I'll be too late to stop--" she suddenly bolted to her right and knocked her head against a tall, dull streetlight as a bolt of electricity zoomed through the space where her head had been moments before.

A large gaunt man, wearing a midnight tuxedo and a pair of pure white gloves, slowly approached the dazed girl who was massaging her head with her pale right hand. The man spoke: "Why did they send two of you? I thought you lot were overconfident."

"What do you mean they sent two of us...? I'm the only one that came..." The girl was telling the truth. It did not matter that Destine was one of the most secure fortresses in the world, the teenage girl should have been able to easily and stealthily infiltrate the fortress and accomplish her objective.

<span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:200%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">The man sighed: "So... you're going to lie. Eh. Well... we don't need a hostage. So..." He moved the pinky of his right hand and pressed a button on the inside of his white glove. A giant bolt of electricity arched towards the girl's body, "Bye."

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:200%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">The girl cart-wheeled to her left, and lowered her right hand while doing so... the electricity barely missed her fingertips. The streetlight behind her glowed brightly and then deformed slightly as it immediately burnt out. The girl regained her footing and stared at the well-dressed man.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:200%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">Using her peripheral vision, she noticed five other well-dressed men in the vicinity. She almost felt as if it were too soon to get serious... She thought, ''Oh, Well. This is their problem, not mine.'' She pulled a chocolate Kiss (the candy)  out of her pocket. With a practiced motion, she immediately unwrapped the tasty chocolate with her left hand and placed the chocolate in her mouth. She concentrated briefly and made a heart shaped symbol using her hands and fingers. Immediately all six men passed out and fell to the ground. The chestnut-haired girl briefly surveyed her "achievement," feeling sorry for those well-dressed gentlemen and once again began her approach to Genesis Tower.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">Section 0.0.2

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:200%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">            The date was September 23, 1920, a Monday. A dark haired teenage boy walked through the heavy mists of Destine Fortress, casually whistling to himself in order to relieve his boredom. He had been picked to perform this "Critical" mission simply because Zipher had failed to arrive at the last minute. The boy who had black hair with red streaks was angry, irritated, mad, frustrated, and annoyed: all he wanted to do was get this mission over with so that he could return to his normal life.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:200%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">            The boy felt that it was strange that there seemed to be no one outside other than himself. Just as he had this thought, a group of 100 well-dressed men and women wearing tuxedo's and pairs of fancy white gloves crept out of nearby buildings, alleyways, and other undisclosed locations in order to surround the boy.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:200%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">The tall woman standing nearest to the boy seemed to be in charge. She cried out: "Stop right where you are. We do not want to resort to force unless it is absolutely necessary. We ask you to surrender immed-"

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:200%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">Still whistling, the boy snapped his fingers, once. A ridiculous visible shockwave of blue, yellow, green, and red colors shot out from the boy's body in all directions. The entire group of well-dressed individuals fell unconscious onto the ground. The boy stopped whistling. "Really guys. That's all you've got. What a waste of time. I should have played longer." He began whistling once again and merrily set off in the direction of Genesis Tower.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">Section 0.0.3

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:200%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">            Six hours previously, the Senior Governing Board (SGB) of Destine Fortress had determined that two threats were approaching which had the potential to stop Genesis if they were unhindered in their aims. The members of the board nervously bickered amongst themselves. They were not sure about how to deal with the oncoming threats. They were still not very powerful at that time. It would have been unthinkable for them to have been able to deal with the two approaching enemies.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:200%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">            The board hoped that everything would turn out for the best and sent "adequately-sized" groups in order to mitigate both threats. Well... the board messed up. Now, in the present, it was preoccupied more than it had ever been. Both targets had more than easily eliminated both of the defense groups that had been constructed on the way to Genesis Tower. The SGB was at a loss for what to do. Was this the end of everything?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:200%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">            The SGB made out of 13 members of the highest rank in Destine Fortress all wore blue suits emblazoned with the mysterious shiny red symbol of Destine Fortress, the blood-red chess piece. A lightning bolt also wrapped itself to the sides and in front and behind of the emblazoned chess-pieces of the 13 shirts. The members wore these shirts when they met each other mainly because they were shirts that were supposed to be safe, innocent, and constricting. In other words, as long as the members wore these shirts, they would not be able to eliminate the other members.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:200%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">            This was one of the most important aspects of the SGB's meetings. There were many people within the city who would want a lust for power and who could try to corrupt the different members of the SGB, but with the advanced technology of that Antarctican fortress, Destine, this corruption could be prevented, ideally. The members were still at a loss as to what they could do to mitigate the two threats. Genesis Tower had incredible defenses, but it was only a matter of time until two foes of this caliber destroyed them.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:200%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">            The large white wall that covered the majority of the very long chamber that the SGB members met in suddenly flickered briefly. Immediately all of the board members stopped talking. On the white wall, there appeared the shimmering contour of a face on a white background. It was impossible to tell the identity of the person who had that startling face. The most remarkable characteristic of that face were two slit green eyes that had a serpentine quality.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:200%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">            The eldest board member Zickareal Donning, who was always called Dr. Donning out of the outmost respect, spoke: "Oh, Lord 'D,' we are honored to be in your presen--"

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:200%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">'D' spoke: "Shut up, Zick Dong. I am not a mere master that you need to sugar with fake love-calls. I have a message for all of you: you have failed me yet again in dealing with the intruders to stop my plan. Normally this would mean that you would suffer my full wrath. However, your opponents are unusual; therefore, I will forgive you this once."

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:200%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">Hearing this many of the board members breathed sighs of relief. They were off the hook... for now.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:200%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">'D' continued: "However, this threat must be stopped somehow. Given that you fools are too weak to stop this threat, I will do something about both of them. I will send them to 'that' place once Genesis is complete. They will be good test subjects for the ultimate fate that awaits all who defy me." He hung up-- the wall became pure white once again.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:200%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">The members of the SGB were rattled after hearing this announcement. Even if 'D' put on many airs, he was not the type of leader who enjoyed acting so melodramatically. He was obviously bored. The SGB sighed collectively. Having a leader who was immature to act like a villain in his spare time was just embarrassing. The screen started to flicker as if 'D' knew what the SGB was thinking, and the SGB immediately returned to its daily routine and its more normal obligations that it had to carry out.
