"Hey, Yo Crystal!" yelled out a voice. An 18 year old male with brown skin a crystal pendant and an anime pull over hoodie. Dark navy washed blue jeans and a tattoo of a snake wrapped around a black rose. With a scar on his right cheek with a high top box fade looked out the window. "Yeah?" "Come on out the house the boss needs to see you." "I'll be there in a minute.One minute later... "Hop in the back you know I got my shawty with me." "Hey Torian." " 'Sup with you Corri?" "Aye, girl don't be calling my man's by his government name he goes by Crystal out on the streets ya dig?" "I'm sorry." "Lil' Rod it's cool don't sweat it."

Lil' Rod is hispanic short for his age but stocky. He never took disrespect in the streets lightly but he had a big heart and always looked out for his little sister, girlfriend, and his best friend. Corri is smart, down to Earth, funny she's a petite goth french-american girl with long curly blue hair and black knee high boots that matches her shirt and skirt. "So what's the boss want?" Torian asked. "You know I don't ask questions I just do what he says." Lil' Rod replied back. "Yeah you right. But, anyways what's your plans for tonight you two?" "Movie date and dinner and back to my place." Corri answered back. "What about you Crystal?" "Just video games and anime." "No girl in your life hombre?" "No, just haven't been looking for anyone right now." "You need to step out your comfort zone you haven't dated in the past four years since your ex." "Yeah I know but I'm happy right now being single I promise bro." "Ight hombre, if you say. I'm just looking out for you remember we brothers." "For life."Torian and Lil' Rod did their secret handshake.

They drove in silence for the next two hours when they finally reached their gangs base of operations. "Ah, Crystal you've finally arrived wake up." Lil Rod tapped Crystal on the leg causing him to wake up. "Wait in the car babe I'll be back in a bit." Lil' Rod told Corri. "I've got it don't worry." she answered. "Oh so you two finally decided to make it Crystal?" "Yeah Blade. Now let us through." "Nuh-huh, no can do. Besides, me in the boys were talking and think you two aren't fit to be Gasher's advisor and right hand. You both are nothing but two pups who got picked up by the boss that are nothing but bastards and for what?"

"Blade, you have exactly three seconds to step out of my way before I make you find out the hard way why I'm his right hand." Lil' Rod threatened stepping forward. "No, it's fine Rod, don't stoop to their level. If you wish to start a fight we can take this out to Orange River but we all know how it'll turn out in the end. So I suggest you tell your sniper to get his sights off me before I take this Glock 40 between him and his precious sniper scope. We both know what will happen too." Torian chimed in. Blade stood there and shook in fear as the icy words left Torian's lips. Blade gritted his teeth and stepped aside and signals for the sniper to stand down. "At least you know your place." Lil Rod taunted.

"Sorry, We're late Gasher." "You're exactly two minutes and 16.5 seconds late. You know I dislike tardiness." Gasher commented as he finished cleaning his favorite rifle. "We're sorry it won't happen again." "I would hope not." "So what's the plan?" "We're going to raid a stash house from The 56ers." " Which stash house?" "The one on 78th Blvd." "How many men are we going to have? Also how many people are stationed there?." "It's going to be me, you, Lil'Rod, Blade, and fifteen of our best. As for the number Three hundred and sixteen personel." "Are you shitting me right now Gasher! Nineteen of us versus Three hundred and sixteen 56ers!? I mean no disrespect but that is the most dumbest plan I've ever heard of." "Crystal is right, the 56ers most highly secured stash house is the suicide with what little man power you're giving us." "You both may be right, and normally I wouldn't do such a half cocked plan. But, we have something they don't." "Which is what?" asked Lil' Rod. "Bring in the merch."

Gasher beckoned them in. Four gang members came in the room with two giant wooden crates. They took off the lids as they did Torian, and Lil' Rod walked up to them. "What are these strange guns?" "They're unmarked high voltage advanced high powered rifles." "Where did you get these and how?" "Let's just say a little bird dropped them off." Lil' Rod walked up to one of the crates and picked up one of the rifles and checked it out. "Seems legit, alot more heavier than what I'd expect. But, let's see how well it works." Lil' Rod turned to a stack of barrels and fired the rifle. It not only shot a ball of a lightspeed based bullet at a stack of barrels in the corner causing them to light up and got instantly vaporized. "Damn Gasher these babies sure can fire and lethal as hell. Recoil and iron sight needs some work but I'm guessing it's just a prototype." "Yeah it is. But just know the raid goes down tonight be here at 9."

Lil' Rod and Torian left the base and Lil' Rod dropped Torian off at his house. "See you in 5 hours hombre." "See ya." "Hey dad I'm home!" Torian yelled as he entered the house and closed the door behind him. "Dad?" Torian began to look for his dad and went down to his workshop. (He's not in his workshop. Then again if he's not here he might be at the lab. Ugh, whatever I don't need him anyway fucking astranged workaholic.) Torian flopped on his bed and began to listen to music as he started playing Warzone. At Torian dad's lab... "Yuinlom, are you sure it's a good idea to start the White Hole Project?" "Yes, Harry if I can activate this all of Inaric City and the entire world could be better and succeed where many had failed." "But isn't it dangerous especially with this storm and the protesting going on outside?" "No Harry as long as the negative particles within in the White Hole Sphere aren't positively charged by the lightnings positive ions it'll be fine and as long as there's no gas involved we should be fine from any type of dark matter explosion." "I hope it all goes as planned and what about your son? Yuinlom, have you even checked on him?"

Yuinlom turned on his heels and looked at Harry and grabbed him by his throat and picked him up as he his changed and he pinned him to the wall. "That monstrosity is not my son he is a bastard and the reason my wife is dead! I suggest you call him by his name when in my presence or next time I will kill you without hesitation. I am being generous because you're my brother." Yuinlom let go of Harry and walked away as he did Harry tried to catch his breathe and rubbed his throat. Five hours later... "Is Everyone ready?" "Yeah." Torian looked up at the stars as sirens blared and police helicopters roared overhead Lil' Rod patted Torian's shoulder. "Hey Hombre don't be so scared. I've got your back." Torian snapped out of his daze and looked at Lil' Rod. "Huh? Oh yeah, thanks Hector." "Aye hombre you know better than to use my real name. What's buggin' you anyway?" "I've just got this weird feeling tonight's not going to go the way we envision it to."

Thunder began to boom and lightning flashed as it began to rain medium hard. "And this weather just might prove my theory." "Alright, let's go!" "Begin the test." Gasher and the rest of Dragon Five began to storm the 56ers stash house opening fire at all of their oppositions. At the same time the Yuinlom and Harry began to activate the project as they did the protestors began to get out of control and riot police tossed out strange gas and lightning struck the strange gas causing it to ignite. While the White Hole Project whirred an shaked and began to crackle causing it to chain react with the gas exploding city wide sending shockwaves causing a city wide power outage. The shockwave sent dark matter all through out the city causing the fire fight to cease as it did Torian and Lil' Rod quickly burst through Stash House emergency exit and coughed as they passed out. But before he fully lost consciousness Torian heard sirens and saw someone strange walk up to him.

Two years later..

...Torian awoke to find himself in a strange pod he quickly jerked forward and hit his head and rubbed his forehead. He touched the glass and it began to crystallize. (What the hell am I doing in this pod and what the hell is going on with my body?) Torian quickly punched the glass and fell forward and caught himself on his hands. As began to stand up alarms blared as strange men in battle armor and four doctors came rushing into the lab. "Put your hands up and come with us quietly." said the captain....

...Scared, Torian had no choice but to comply and two guards began to walk up to Torian when one of them saw Torian bleeding from his knuckles. "Hey doc it's bleeding come take a look." A doctor began to run over to Torian when all of sudden she saw Torian's blood sparkle and Torian breathed in and out slowly and muttered: "Crystal Dust Illusion!" The scent of iron was heavy as the blood puddle began to evaporate and crystal particles began to cloud their vision. "Damn it! activate your heat signature goggles and find it now! Attention all personel we have a Z-Gene baby on the loose all units be on the look out."...

...Torian quickly slipped out the pod room and looked around frantically trying to find a way out. "Psst, over here!" Torian turned to the voice and ran over to it. "Follow me." Torian and the mysterious figure began to run away as heavy footsteps could be heard clammering as Torian and the mysterious figured reached an air duct and they both crawled in the air duct. "So where am I? Who are you? What is a Z-Gene baby? And who are those guys that are chasing us?" "Well to answer your first question you are in an underground laboratory and my name is Yu'Saria." "Nice to meet you Yu'Saria and my name's Torian." "As for the last question. A Z-Gene baby is a shorter way of saying RPB's which is short for Riot Power Babies. Not only that Z-Gene was discovered by Zeion Genetics Incoperated." "Whoa, how long was out for?" "Two years." Torian stopped trying to come to terms with the information he was just thrown. "Hey snap out of it. There will be time to come to realizations after we get out of here." "Ohh sweet we're here." Yu'Saria knocked down one of the vent grates and jumped down into a room Torian jumped down behind her. "So where are we?" "We're in a special room." "What do you mean by tha...Augh!"...

...The lights came on and began to unleash a sonic energy blast he cried out and writhed in agony as he covered his ears as he cradled up in the fetal position. A flood of Z-Gene guards flooded the room. "YOU BETRAYED ME!" "Did I really?" Yu'Saria smirked and began to sing as he did the guards stopped in their tracks that's when she absorbed the sonic energy attacking Torian and blasted the lights out. "Get up Torian!" Torian meekly got up and used all his strength to try and stand up. Yu'Saria walked over to Torian and held him close to her chest and whispered: "Torian you're the Miracle Inaric City and I will need in the future. When you're falling I will be the pillar to the bridge that leads to a better and safer world I will be your foundation hidden in the shadows while you become the crystal beacon this city and the world will need."...

...Torian opened his eyes and they turned from brown to an amethyst purple. Torian began to glitter as crystal particles surrounded his body and walked over to a guard and stretched out his hand and put a crystal shard in his head. "Whoa! What the hell are you doing!?" "I can see his memories and feel his guilt and feel his hatred." "That's so freaky." "Not as freaky as what I'm seeing right now." That's when the captain bit her tounge causing Torian to fall and Yu'Saria caught Torian and cradled his head in her lap....

..."Long Live Homosapiens!" That's when all the guards in the room bit their tounges all saying the same thing the captain had said. "Hey, what did you see? Also, what did they mean by Long Live Homosapiens?" "Zeion Genetics is declaring war on all Z-Gene babies and they're raising an army to combat us. Not to mention my father is Yuinlom Ashruma and he's known as the best Scientist and Trillionare." "So you're saying we'll be going to war with Zeion Genetics?" "That's right and I can't let my my  fellow Z-Gene brother's and sister's down. Will you help me in my quest?" "I told you. I'll be your foundation hidden in the shadows." Yu'Saria moved a strand of Torian's long curly hair out of his face and smiled at him. "So what's our first plan of action?" questioned Yu'Saria. "First step get the hell out of here and we search for two of my friends." "Alright, let's bust out of this bitch!" "By the way I'm sorry I led you into a trap I just couldn't leave you here and it was the only way I could think of gaining your trust while getting rid of one of the Z-Gene patrols." "I forgive you, but I don't know if I'll be able to trust you so easily." "I understand."...

...Torian started to get up and Yu'Saria got up and outstretched her hand. "Come on, I know it's not a start of earning your trust back but I've got your back from here on out." Torian grabbed Yu'Saria's hand and she lifted him up. Torian and Yu'Saria ran out the room as they did they could hear more foot steps pursuing them. Yu'Saria knelt down and put one finger on the steel cold floor and she could feel the vibration tremors in the steel and she turned to face her adversaries. "What are you doing Yu'Saria?" "I'll hold off the patrol dogs you go try to find a way out of here!" "But what about you?" "I'm Yu'Saria, I'll catch up with you. But, you can call me SongStress." Yu'Saria gave a sly smirk and gave Torian a thumbs up. "Be careful SongStress." "Always." Torian continued forward and stopped at a room and entered the room and saw it was a giant super computer. "Whoa! she's a beaut." Torian walked over to the super computer and began to hack into the computer. Torian then saw that victims of the RPB'S. He saw that Corri, and Hector where part of it and tried to look them up and saw that they were in a convoy on their way to high security facility just northwest of the Inaric City. "I found them. Now it's time for me to get SongStress and we can get out of here. But, first I need to download this information hm? I wonder if I could..."...

Torian put his hand to the computer console and a crystal shard began to absorb the computers data. "So you're Master Yuinlom's son." Torian turned around to see a strange cybernetic man with an infrared scanning eye. "Who are you?" "Let's just say I'm a contractee and I'm here to fulfill said contract." "So you're a bounty hunter?" "I prefer the term justice bringer and you can call Hypnois" "Who do I have the honor of addressing?" "You can go back and tell my father I denounce him and Crystallis is my name!" "Well, Well Crystallis I'll let you give him the message yourself."

Crystallis and Hypnois charged at each other engaging eachother in hand to hand combat. Both were equal but Hypnois was just a bit better and Crystallis was knocked back into the super computer. "Oh, and as for the information you're gathering I'm taking that too I might get bonus for it. Better yet Perhaps I'll go for that girl." Crystallis' heart began to beat fast thinking about what could happen to her. "You will not touch her!" Crystallis's eyes turned icy blue and he slammed his hands on the floor. "Crystal Blue Rain!" the crackle of electricity could be heard as the floor began to crystallize. "Shit!" Hypnois jumped in the air dodgeing the crystallzation. "Oh no you don't!" Crystallis slammed both his hands together and invisible floating crystal shards began to glow and emitted and electrical current throughout Hypnois cybernetics."Guargh! When in the hell did you conjure these?" Hypnois said straining to break free. "Sorry this ain't anime Hypnois. I'm not going to tell you this is real life." "Mood Crystal Prison!"

Tiny crystal particles began to eat into Hypnois' cybernetics he screamed in pain as the crystals began to rip through him. That's when his cybernetic eye glowed red and it broke free of the cybernetics and it activated a portal. "I shall return Crystallis." Hypnois laughed and slipped into the portal. (Hypnois, you might either be the greatest enemy I will face or the greatest ally? Only time will tell.)

Hypnois left Crystallis fell to one knee and breathed heavily as he tried to catch his breath. (Damn it, I need to get better grasp on these powers. But, I feel like I have something else hidden inside of me.) Yu'Saria ran into the room to find Crystallis exhausted. "Damn, what happened to you?" "I think we're going to be in way more hot water espically with my dad on our tails. Not only that I found out where my friends are and we need to go out and rescue them." "So how are we going to get out?" "Like this. Here hold onto me tight Yu'Saria." Yu'Saria grabbed onto Torian and he shot a black crystal up in the air it exploded the ceiling. The information crystal shard floated over to Torian and he absorbed it as it shattered to particles and into his skin. Torian protruded silver wings from his back lowered their density and they flew up in the air as they did the moonlight shined on them and Yu'Saria saw Torian in a different light and she couldn't help but blush a little bit and smile as she moved a stray strand of red hair out of her face. "Hey, did you know that Gekkō means Moonlight in japanese?" "No, but what's that have to do with anything?" If you ever noticed how beautiful the sun looks when it starts to break dawn?" "Yeah." "Well, look at the moon and how it's silverish white rays dance and compliment the beautiful night sky as the stars look down on us. I think I have the perfect name for our future orignization." "Gekkō?" "Yeah, Gekkō." Torian smiled. Torian began to fly at full speed and as he was rushing over to stop the convoy from leaving the compound. Yu'Saria began to yell through the howling of the wind: "SO WHERE ARE WE GOING!" "RESCUE MY TWO BESTFRIENDS!" "HOW DO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHERE WE'RE GOING!" "THE CRYSTAL I ABSORBED IS SHOWING ME THE ROUTE THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE!" "SO YOU'RE LIKE A SUPER HUMAN GPS!?" "I GUESS YOU COULD SAY THAT! WE'RE HERE I'M GOING TO DROP YOU ON THE ROOF TAKE OUT ANY SNIPERS AND GO INSIDE AND WAIT FOR MY SIGNAL!" "WHAT'S THE SIGNAL!" "YOU'LL KNOW IT WHEN YOU HEAR IT!" Crystallis flew over head and dropped Yu'Saria as she did a tuck and roll to soften her fall. "Now let's see who we have to take out first." Yu'Saria smiled devilishly and knelt down put a finger down on the roof and she could feel six sniper's and three hundred and fifteen riflemen and twenty eight machine guns. "Oh this is going to be a blast." Yu'Saria got up and began to parkour across roof tops and found two snipers next to each other. "Hmm, two snipers for the price of one song? Naw, that's no fun I want to get at least one more." Yu'Saria looked around and found another sniper on a scailfding below. "Mmm now we're talking." Yu'Saria began to sing and the guards stopped their patrol route and one of them took out their pistols and held it to the other's head. "Wha-What's going on?" "Hey boys." Yu'Saria jumped down and knocked out both of them in one quick motion and hung upside down as she sung a high note causing the third guard to go into a trance. Yu'Saria jumped down onto the scaffolding and walked up to the guard. (I wonder how many I could control and if I have to sing to keep them under my control and how long does the trance last?) Soon an explosion occured on the other side of the facility. "I guess that's the signal. It's time to go my pet." Yu'Saria and the transfixed guard began to follow her into the building. MeanWhile on the otherside of the compound... "We need back up on E level!" "Squad B side assault squad C suppressing fire!" Crystallis' skin began to seep out crystals protruding out of his body sweat glands and they absorbed the impact of all the bullets and they began to glow a reddish orange color. Crystallis began to stretch as he outstretched one of his hands and shot a burning hot crystal into the center of a group of Z-Gene guards and it exploded causing fire to burst out. They all screamed in pain and horror aswell as agony as their body and flesh began to melt. Soon a captain charged forward towards Crystallis and she drew her knife her and Crystallis got into a knife fight. She kicked Crystallis back and pressed her attack when Crystallis shot crystal shards at the captain. One of the crystal shards knocked the knife out of her hand and the others pierced her or so they both thought she opened her eyes and her own ribs protected her. "What!? You're Z-Gene baby?" "No, I can't be a Z-Gene baby! This can't be!" Crystallis began to walk over to her and he smiled at her. "I know you've just realized your powers and you're scared of your new found powers but, I'm creating an organization where all Z-Gene babies have a safe haven and we protect Inaric City, the world, and our own. If you wish to join us. We will probably be here for another hour maybe two and meet us in the courtyard. By the way what's your name?" "C-Cyra." "It's nice to meet you Cyra." Crystallis ran passed Cyra and into the hall to his left as Crystallis ran down the hall he then found a bunch of people in cells with collars around their necks and some shackled and chained. (Damn, Zeion Genetics is keeping our people chained up like slaves and treating us like this.) Crystallis walked the holding cells until... "Torian?" Crystallis turned around to see Corri. "Corri!? Hold on I'm going to get you out of there. Where's Hector?" "I don't know they split us up when they were rounding us up based off of our Z-Gene isotopes and power's I was brought here and Hector was taken somewhere else this afternoon just before you arrived." "Do you know where he was taken?" "No idea the guards never gossiped about it." Crystallis opened the cell door and began to work on freeing Corri that's when a guard approached behind Crystallis and leveled their gun to him. "TORIAN BEHIND YOU!" Corri cried out. That's when a gunshot rang out and all three stood frozen for what felt like a lifetime for them that's when the guard coughed up blood and fell to his knees "Damn you, HomoElites." he fell dead with that being his last words. "A little thank you would be nice next time." Torian turned to see SongStress and a bunch of Zeion Guards behind her.
