Brainstorming…let’s take Resident Evil 1 & 2 remake game, Cyberpunk and Predator (movie) part 4

Chapter 1

Jill

We made it to the mansion to find West and Betty waiting for us waving us inside. I didn’t bother to look behind as we ran for the entrance and got inside as West slammed the doors shut behind us locking and holding the doors closed with Betty’s help.

West looked at me. “Where is Chris?”

“We got surrounded by some type of mutant dogs and a beast was hunting us. Chris took point and told us to run back while he fought the dogs.”

West’s face gave nothing away as he studied me. “Was he calm?”

I frowned at his words. “Chris was Chris.”

West shook his head. “He must have calculated it would be better for you to go back while he handled the immediate danger.”

Roooar!

We turned as we heard a monster’s roar in the back of the house.

“Shit. What the hell was that?” Betty said.

“Something inside. You two go take care of it. We’ll stay here to keep watch for Chris.” West said in steal emotionless voice of command.

Berry nodded silently and led the way inside. I looked back at West. He met my stare.

“Don’t worry about Chris. He’s an elite warrior even before he became a model T1 soldier. He’ll make it. Take care of whatever the fucks inside though so we can have at least one safe zone for now. We move out in the morning first light.”

I nodded and followed Berry into the next room. It was a dining room with an extendedly long dinning room table set for twleve people to seat down and eat. Six on each side.

I looked to the front where an old typewriter lay. I saw a green light flash on the side. I went over and saw the digital deta link on the side. I linked my neural link with it and jacked in.

I closed my eyes and found myself inside the super computer of the mansion. It was a small library. I looked through the shelves until I found a map of the mansion first floor. The other floors were on lock out. I would need the code for them later.

I felt someone touch my shoulder. I unlinked draw my gun and put it under Berry’s chin.

Berry stared at me. “What you find?”

I removed the gun. “A map of the first floor. The rest of the mansion is on lock down until we find the keys. What did you discover in the back?”

“Blood.”

I unhocked my link and walked over to the blood to stare at the pool of blood on the floor.

“Chris. Shit. Your arm?!” Berry said.

I looked up to see Chris with green healing herb on his arm that looked like it was barely attached.

He glanced at it and shrugged. “It’ll heal. It’s not to bad. The herb is healing it. What you find?” He said.

I watched his arm heal and reconnect to his body fast not just from the green herb but his advanced healing T1 bioengineering and cybernetic framework.

It was both gross and amazing but I kept my face neutral. “Blood. Where’s West and the bitch?”

Chapter 11

Angel

We arrived late in the three rides to an unwelcome sight at the eastern border of Newark near the train treks of crossings. Jason and Swan were held at gun point by a tall black dude asshole in a white suit. I wasn’t surprised Rembrandt was still functioning. I was surprised by Jason’s smiling face though that greeted me. Rembrandt wasn’t alone either several other company men with blasters were with him and Dr. Jackson.

I got out my ride followed by Rain and Tomahawk. Rembrandt nodded to me. “Hey Mercy. Welcome back to the team. I’ll be your new commander after you take a little rest first.”

I looked at Jason. He nodded to the Dr. I nodded.

I ignored the asshole who held a gun to Jason and Swan and faced the Dr. Jackson.

“Dr. Jackson. If you want this job done. I want my unit’s franchise as the price.” I said.

Dr. Jackson took out his detapad and flash a lazor in front of our eyes. He frowned when nothing happened and then did it again with the same result.

He then shrugged. “It seems you already have stolen yourselves from the program. We’ll have to get me models. Alright Angel. Who are the one’s that messed up the Presidential mission?”

I nodded over to Jason. “Jason and Rembrandt.”

Rembrant snickered with laughter. “Nice try bae. But, you ain’t gettin me that easy. Swan and Jason were in command that time.”

I stared at Dr. Jackson. “Jason handled the planning and gave Rembrandt point. I was his back up. Rembrandt got distracted and fucked the mission up. I didn’t record it in my mission logs but I left a coded file in my personal log.” I said.

Dr. Jackson stared at me. “What was the nature of Rembrandt’s mistake?”

“He raped me.” I said in flat tone.

“You lying fucking bitch.” Rembrandt roared and turned his blaster at me.

Swan moved fast throwing his blade at Rembrandt’s wrist. He fell to the ground surrounded by other soldiers. I got out my detapad granted access to the file and passed my detapad to Dr. Jackson.

He glanced over my file and then handed it back. “Terminate the two offenders and you can leave with your damaged units. Minus one. Rembrandt remains the companies property.”

I nodded. I walked over to Rembrandt picking up the blaster and shot him in the face. He fell the ground smoking.

I walked over to Jason. Jason waved Swan over to the others. “Keep the others in line Swan make sure they don’t give Angel trouble.”

“Yes, Sir.” Swan said and walked away.

Jason frowned at me. “Get this over with. The cars will give you good money.”

I said nothing and shot him in the chest. I felt a sting to my chest as Jason fell to the ground offline.

Dr. Jackson nodded in approval. “Good luck to you Angel. We might see you later for freelancing opportunities. Let’s go. Pick up Rembrandt. We have to hurry back to the lab to get him fixed back up for his next mission.” He said walking over to his limousine.

I watched them drive away. I couldn’t believe it had been that easy.

I turned to Swan. “Pick up my property gentle man and put em in my car.”

Swan smiled while the other two looked at me in horror. I rolled my eyes.

Brainstorming…let’s take Resident Evil 1 & 2 remake game, cyberpunk and Predator (movie) part 2

Again. This could be a miss.

Prologue

June 6th, 1996

Jill

Fucking West had to get some pussy on a fucking training. We headed out immediately after making it to the mansion to check out what was going on in the woods.

Berry was quiet as he emptied out his blanks from his Beretta M9. He casts a glance at me shaking his head. He already knew my thoughts. I nodded. Betty and West were Chris’s problems. Better to stay out it.

Chris used his cybernetic eyes and ears to track the location of the danger in the fading light of the day.

He brought up his hand as he stopped. He looked around slowly and then up at the trees.

I looked up to see somethings strung up in the trees. They were bodies didn’t know if they human though. They were all legless. It was pitch black now.

“What the…Jill. Berry. Put on your heat vision and enhanced goggles.”

Berry and I obeyed without comment. I winked a few times and then I stared at the ground that was bathed in blood.

I looked up at the trees to see….

Bodies. I counted. Two. Half of squad beta. One of those bodies could be Andy. I was gut the asshole that did this to him.

I could feel Berry focused on me. “Jill-”

“Save it. Chris. What do we do?”

Chris turned his head seeing something looking at us. I glanced in that direction to see it. Some type of large dog or wolf. Maybe a mutant of some kind.

“Don’t run. Their are more of them. I count five.” Chris said backing away looking around. “Head back to the mansion. Slow.” He said and then turned and fired at dog that had leaped at him.

The dog went down and then sprang up only to be shot in the head by Chris again. “Straight path a hundred paces. I’ll follow. Go.” He said with his back to us as he loaded his gun.

Berry handed him his spare Bowie knife grabbed my shoulder and pulled me back to the mansion while Chris took on the freak mutant dogs.

“Links! What you got?” Jason asked as he came into the command station.

“Their on a fast run for a warm hole into a pocket dimension. Sir. Location. Dimension X-cy2000_dragons. Openning is closing rapidly. Orders?”

“Ships to big to squeeze through.. Send in the Hawk A1.” Jason said.

“Aye aye. Sir.” Links said and hit deploy command to the lower deck level 5. “Hawks Al. You have-“

“I got it. Heading to the exit pod now. The 6xers won’t get away.. I’ll see you, Links. Tally-ho.” Hawks A1 said in rush of movement.

A exit pod door blinked a second before it was launched away toward the vastly closing hole.

Links and Jason stared in frustration. “How the hell is he-“

“He’s Hawk A1. He’ll find a way back with his prey or come back home with the prize in his mouth. We’ll give em two days to get it done then we’ll have to move on and return to the Nest Station. Hold position until then.”

Brainstorming…let’s take Resident Evil 1 & 2 remake game, The Edge (1996) and  Mission Impossible (1990s)

This could be a miss but fuck it here we go.

Prologue

June 6th, 1996

Chris

I arrived at the mansion in the outskirts of the city of Raccoon city with Jill and Berry in toe. Our commander West greeted us at the open front door with my wife, Betty at his side.

Betty ran our over all missions and trainning exercises and she happened to be fucking West. Jill and Andy had been trying to hint at it for two months now but I hadn’t seen it until now.

West was a handsome guy 6’2 to my 5’11 charming blond asshole and always wore dark tinted glasses and was ten years my senior with a thing for females around Betty’s age.

Betty was a curvy blond that worked out and kept herself in fighting form. She was also a wild cat in bed and thrilled at sex. Yeah I could see it now. I fucking would have to get a damned divorce but that would come later.

I focused my eyes on West. “Where’s squad Beta?”

West frowned at me. “You got a problem, Chris?”

I could heard it in his tone. West was an asshole but if any member of his team had a grip or issue with him, he’d listen, take it but command that the job take primary focus against personal issues.

“Your having sex with my wife. But, I asked about team Beta, Sir to raise an issue relating to them. They were supposed to pick us up two miles back where the helicopter left us so we could start running exercises as per your instructions what happened?”

“We’re not having sex Chris. Your being to emotional.” Betty said and crossed her arms over chest before straightening away from West.

West’s expression remained the same. “I don’t know where team Beta is. Jarod and his crew were supposed to meet up with you as planned. We lost radio contact with them. We might have a situation.”

I heard scream behind followed by a roar of some type of bear or large beast of some kind.

“Go check it out.” West said.

I nodded bringing my Colt Anaconda and lead my team toward the unknown threat.

Brainstorming, Crocodile dundee, one wish, Mr. Destiny…Walk about?

I got to get this idea out of head or at least start it going….

Prologue

The Bar. One drink, one wish minimum.

Nick

I walked into the bar frowning at old western feel of the airport adult bar area then I shrugged. What the hell it was Texas.

I walked. Inside feeling jetlag and parched for drink of any kind. I had a layover for an hour until my flight back home to Baltimore and I needed time to think about my life.

I had just realized that my college days were over and I had no money or wish to be lawyer anymore. What the fuck was I going to do?

I sat down at the bar and the bartender walked up as he was cleaning a mug. He had a charming grin and friendly blue eyes.

“What will you have? A wish first or a drink. One a piece and no one more.” He asked.

I frowned at him. “Coffee. No sugar or cream.” I said.

“Drink first it is. What’s troubling you friend?” He asked as he fixed me a drink.

“Life. I have no idea what the hell I’m doing and I have to go back home and tell my parents college is out.” I said and then looked at his name tag on his shirt.

Cole.

Cole fixed me up a cup of steaming coffee. “No big deal. You’ll figure it out. Your a man. You’re only, what? Eighteen?”

“I’m twenty-two. I don’t know. What’s with the one wish line?”

Cole shrugged. “Policy around here. One drink, one wish come true to your biggest issue.” He said with a silly grin. “What’s your wish?”

I decided to play along. I stared to say a billionaire business when a heard a song come from the big screen on the wall.

It was theme song to the first Crocodile Dundee movie. To a favorite 1980s movie my father and I shared.

The feel of that song. The attitude and masculine balls of Dundee. Fit to the man and the way he lived his life.

I wish…..

“Granted.” Cole said.

I blinked. Cole snapped his fingers and a plane ticket appeared in his hand. He held it out to me.

“What is it?”

“A ticket to your destiny.” He said.

Cyberpunk dreams, a medic’s origins, batman begins, Iron man and corporate take over.

Prologue

Alexander

I died for five seconds on a street alleyway with my parents. It had happened fast. A stranger asking for a pair of credits and then turning and firing an old school revolver at us.

I woke up only because of Arthur Pin. Our family butler/med tech had heard the shots as he raced down the alley  with his medical decker and side arm. He had saved me though it had taken great effort to get my heart going with his medical decker.

The time had cost him though and I had to watch while I could do nothing as he tried and failed to save my parents. The rage and enjustice of it all. If I had known what I know now hell any medical training at the time I may could have helped them. The memory still burns me to this day.

I promised that day on I wouldn’t feel that helpless again.

Fifteen years later……

Chapter 1

I stood in the board room as the board and the current C.E.O. Arthor  all told me that I had to hand over my shares of my family corporation to them. Today, I hadn’t thought to be given a C.E.O position of my family hospital I was still to young 2nd year medical tech.

I stared at Arthur. “Why do you need my shares? I wasn’t planning on selling them to Killgrave or anyone else. What’s this about?”

Arthor stared at me pointedly. “Mr. Bruce. We’ve founded your education and schooling to this point and the board has made the decision to stop at this point. We’re giving you twice the purchase price of the shares. You won’t be needing them anyway.”

“Why is that?” I asked.

Author shrugged. “Your a top grade medic. You’ll go far in the field once you level up and advanced to doing tech surgeries in two years. But, honestly you don’t have the capability to proceed me as the C.E.O. of the company.”

Hmm. Interesting. I hadn’t even thought at all of being the C.E.O of the company. “Who will be the next C.E.O coming up in June?”

Arthor seemed to relax in his chair and smiled a little. “Serena.” He said with more then a little fatherly pride in his voice.

Again more interesting…Serena had failed to tell me any of this. Before our engagement two weeks ago or now.

I felt first warning. It was a burst of pain in my chest. I reflectively reached into my shirt to adjust my heart deck. Arthor frowned starting to raise but I held up my hand. “Let’s get to it then. Give me a deta pad and light pin.” I said in rush now to get out of this room filled with strangers I owed money to. I could no longer trust them. It had been a fucking loan. Hell could I even trust Serena now. I barely kept back a grimance of pain.

Arthor frowned at statement. “If your feeling under pressure the signing will not be legal right now. We’ll send you the contract later when you’ve calmed down.”

I was being dismissed and knowing Arthor and that tone nothing I said would having any baring on changing his mind. It never did when I was under his guardianship. I needed to get back to my office though to check my decker though. I really didn’t need this shit. I just gotten a replacement six months ago. I had come here to ask for time off to do community work in the lower districts of Newark, now by the looks of things I would likable be asked to leave the company if I did that. I was still only a two year med deck and I didn’t have any pull with the board at all.

I nodded stiffly. “Sure. Send me the contract later and I’ll review it and get back to you signed.” I said quickly and turned carefully and left the room.

Damn it.

I kept it together barely. I was just hoping to get to my office and relax alone. I got out of the elevator to find Serena waiting for me. She was dressed in black suit that hugged her body and showed off her hips. She studied me with sharp dark eyes the same as her short tight tomboy hair style as I angled around her and heading for my office.

“Ah kinda busy right now Serena. We’ll have to do lunch later.” I said trying to tell her to go away politely because employees and patients watched us.

Serena ignored my comments. “We have to talk about some issues regarding work.” She said loud enough for others to hear.

Fucking hell. I couldn’t get rid of her now. “Yeah. Okay.” I said gritted my teeth and entering my office.

Serena closed the door locking it and then closed the blinds as I headed to my desk unbuttoning my shirt. Serena came over started to help me. I tried to push her hands away but she gripped my shirt and stared at me.

“Calm down. I didn’t know they would tell you about the shares today. I would have been there with you.”

I stared at her. “I’m fine.” I said in quiet voice though the chest pains were coming fast. “I just need a few minutes alone.”

Serena stared at me. “I’m not going anywhere. Ever. Your angry at me for not telling you about them offering me the position.”

“I’m wondering why you didn’t tell me. It’s..” I paused closing my eyes. “I just need to be alone.”

“I said no. I was going to tell you. I just couldn’t figure out a way to do it without this shit happening. Damn it. I told Daddy to wait for me to be in the room. Just sit back and practice your breathing. I’ll check your heart decker.” She said opening my shirt and checking the decker.

“I need a fucking drink.” I said uneasy now.

“No. You need to relax.” Senera said.

My computer screen came awake. I saw Arthor’s face for video call. “Reject call.” I commanded. “Send message. I’m fine. Get me the contract and I’ll sign it. Send message.” I said.

I heard the jingle for my message being sent but again a video call image of Arthor came up.

“Take call.” Serena said.

Arthor’s image came up. He studied me. “Master Bruce. You really don’t so hot old boy. You look like shit. I’m sorry to say I’m the cause of it but it had to be done.”

“You could have sent me an email instead of having to come to board room for that bullshit and stop calling me Master your my boss.”

Arthor leveled his gaze on mean. “It had to be done. The board doesn’t want you in charge.”

“Go away Arthor. Your only pissing me off more.” I said.

Arthor flinched at my tone. “I need you to come home. We have to discuss somethings.”

“I don’t have a home. It’s your house.” I said but Serena caught my chin.

“Stop it. I need you to just breath.” She said and glared at her father’s image. “We’ll be home tonight. End call.”

Cyberpunk dreams: Rite Of Passage part 1

Prologue: Waking up!

Christopher

I woke up in the dirt. I listened before I opened my eyes. No one was around. It seemed like I was alone and I felt the heat of the sun and cool morning breeze on my skin.

I didn’t have any shoes or a shirt on. All I had was my pants and…my knife strapped to my leg. I opened my eyes.

Route 66 marker seemed to glow in the after glow of night and dawn.

I came to my feet and turned north in the direction of the Newark. The city glittered like a kingdom of the modern world.

I turned away south and caught sight the eighteen wheeler tire tracks along with the jeep tracks of the tribe’s leadership vehicles. I frowned as I followed the tracks off the road and back around and headed to the city.

The city? Why were they headed back to the city the job was done. Hmm. I thought about last night when the tribe held my 16th birthday party to mark the season of my rite.

I wondered. The only reason they would be headed back is if they left something behind or they had another job.

My stomach growlled. Damn. I would need to hunt up breakfast before I headed for the city. I had a two hour walk on my hands.

I heard movment to my right. I glanced out the side of my eyes to see a house dog. The hell. No. He was a half breed mixed with a wolf.

I moved my left hand down to my bow wee knife. Looks I wouldn’t have to look for breakfast and a skin to wear.

I would have to move fast and get a fire going to cook it right.

Cyberpunk dreams: Fixer’s vacation

The Fixer on vacation….

Owen

“Sigma? What the hell are you doing here?” Miss James said as I heard her come out of the building.

I looked up from my detapad and put it away as Miss James dressed in a plain looking silver blue suit cut to her form. Her jacket was open to show her silver blouse that hugged her breasts nicely. She came out of the restaurant from her business Brunch meeting. Her bodyguards, asistent and partners all stood at attention at her sides blocking the crowd from coming close to her.

She was a modern day royal in a neo silver city and she belonged to me. Well…not in the modern legal way but in the nomad culture way.

“Congratulations. I have an hour of vacation time. You want to go on a ride around the city before you next meeting?” I asked her.

Miss James gave me a sardonic smile. “You heard about my pregnancy?”

I stared at her. “No. You just hit 6.1 Billion ebs this morning.”

Miss James froze and then quickly looked at her deta pad. She stared at it and then calmly put her detapad away. There was giddiness in her eyes now. She held up her head higher and thrust out her chest on display. She walked toward me swaying her hips. She looked behind me at the transporters lining the corner.

“Which one?”

I pointed at the bike directly behind me. “Sense your carrying an investment in futures. Maybe a bike ride wouldn’t be wise.”

Miss James waved me aside as she stared at the silver blue cyber blade bike.

Her silver blue painted nails traced the name of the cycle on the base of the cycle on the side.

“E. James. Cute. ” Miss said sounded more bored then impressed.

I shook my head. “It’s the name of the company that makes the bikes.” I said.

Her head snapped up and she met my gaze. “You bought a cycle company for me?”

I shook my head. “No. I invested funds in a cycle company as an executive over a trust.” I said.

Miss James stared at me. “I do not need your financial protection.”

I snorted. “Aw. I never said you did. The trust again is for the person inside you not you. You don’t get a dime.” I said.

Miss James stared at me. “When are you going to stop hustling in the streets and come up to my level and stop hidding your wealth?”

I held up a finger. “1. I have a wife worth 6.1 ebs.” I paused and held up another finger before she can speak. “2. Being public rich only has it’s uses for normals. I’m a private service provider. My value is dependent on my reputation and my network of customers. I’m always working and I didn’t come looking for you. People like yourself come to me.”

Miss James stared at me. “I am not pregnant by the way. I wanted to test you. I can’t figure you out just yet or what is between us. It seems to reasonable, all business and detached but you keep looking at my breasts and legs and you seem strangely available in your schedule to fufill your marriage responsibilities in bed when I call. So I’m confused.”

I grinned. “So you want to take a ride or waste time bullshiting? We have seventy minutes and twelve seconds left.” I said and held out a helmet for her.

She took off heels and handed them to me taking the helmet. Her asistent Camy Vader came up to her helped but some boots on her feet. I put her shoes in my side saddle. I hopped on starting the engine and put on my helmet.

She hugged my waist as she leaned in behind me. I started the engine pushing the converge silver button. The bike started to raise she held on tighter.

“What’s going on? I don’t like heights.” Miss James said over the radio in the helmet.

“I’m just pulling it out of the space. We’re not taking the SkyWay. Trust me.” I said.

“I do.” Miss James admited.

I smiled and pulled the bike out on to the road once I found a break in traffic. It was still morning so traffic was light. I gave the bike a little more turbo and took off down the street.

“Wooo. HOLY SHIT!” Miss James screamed her excitment over the radio.

I smiled and just enjoyed the ride on my vacation time.

Let’s take Tango & Cash, Legend of Zelda and cyberpunk brainstorming…part 5

Let’s put some Crocodile Dundee 2.

Dinner in the dungeon with a mobster….

Chapter 4

Tango

I woke up as I heard the laughter of Gannon in front of me. I lifted my head opening my eyes. Gannon sat in front of me with a female gurrudo at his side dressed in only a red two piece bathing suit and necklace around her neck.

I knew her. She was the chick that almost killed Cash a while back. She stood close Gannon almost like she was piece of his black suit.

Gannon studied my face and waved at the stack before me. It was cut up and spoon was set on the right side of the plate.

I picked up the spoon and started to eat. Gannon chuckled. “So trusting. I could have posioned it?”

I paused cewing down the meat before I spoke. “You don’t give a damn about me so long as I live long enough for you to get the tri scolls. What are you plans for Hyrule then?”

Gannon shrugged. “Out of my hands really. I don’t give a shit like I said. Once I get the scrolls I’m headed home but you’ll be to busy to worry about me or your departed father.” He said mentioning the fact he killed my father.

I sat the spoon down and sat back. “You know this plays out. We’ve been on this dance before. You always lose and I’m always standing over your sorry ass.” I said.

Gannon smiled widely showing his teeth. “Legends. Yes. I am awhere of the fate of our previous ancestors encounters. This time is different however. I don’t want you, this backwater kingdom or the scolls. I have profession. I’m a middle man.”

I looked between him and the female. Something was off about this whole deal. Yes. Sooner or later I would kill him for killing my father but something wasn’t right. This wasn’t how the fated story went.

“Is she your sister?” I waved to the female.

Gannon didn’t glance at the female. “No.”

Shit. This was all wrong. I didn’t trust any of it. Gannon didn’t have sex with females he was gay or at least an Asexual. It left me questioning everything to the moment my father was mudered. Hmm. Something wasn’t right about that either. It did happen but something wasn’t right about it.

I stared at him. “Who are you?”

Gannon smiled. “Hmm. Insightful. I’m sure you’ll realize it soon enough. But, I have a question. Why Cash?”

“What about Cash?” I asked.

Gannon sat back brushing his arm against the female. I heard her short in take of breath in pleasure and I saw her body stiffened for a moment. Then she relexed.

Gannon contined to stare at me ignoring her reaction to him.”Why are you two involved? He’s strong, loyal and dependable but he is beneath you. Why choose him?”

Gannon or whoever the hell he was full of shit. “The same reason you chose that female to your right. We are royalty. We can have what we want but he was born to be mean.”

Gannon didn’t smile but he nodded his head. “That will make things less complicated. Now I know Cash will do whatever he has to save you. Eat. Your stack is getting cold.”

Guardiandogg’s Rising: First step

In memory of my Uncle…

Prologue

Powerplant, downtown Baltimore, Maryland. July, 2001.

Lightning raged above our heads as we stood outside on the balcony of the Starbuck on the upper floor of the powerplant. Antwan smiled.

“You afraid G?”

I looked down below at the other young males paired up with their mentors and fathers.

“Why the fuck do I have to do this shit, Antwan?”

Antwan shrugged. “We’re Highlanders. It’s a right of passage and all that shit. Now stop bitching and get ready. I can feel it coming.”

Fucking bullshit. I was afraid. This was my first real quickening. I would have rather done this shit at home. No. I rather skip the shit entirely and hit the gym for a boxing workout. But, fuck it. Let’s get this shit over with.

I held my shaky hand out. I felt and heard the thunder clap before it came down striking my hand. I screamed like a bitch and fell down. My body twisted and moved on itself in pain.

Antwan smacked the lightning off my body but it was already striking down all around the harbor. He held out his hand. “You can’t run from it. You got to take it on. Come on.”

I saw a lightning bolts strike him but he held out his hand to me.

“Come G. You can handle it. Your a Dogg. When don’t run from conflict. We embrace it like a 5 foot shorty in a green dress.”

I looked past him as a huge lightning bolt came down behind him and I pushed him away as it approached.

I took my stance twisted my hips and whipped my arm around striking it with a right cross. The pain rocked through my body almost making me buckle but I held my own.

“That’s the way G. Punch it. Force that bitch. Come on Highlander. Do it.”

Tears flowed from my eyes as I felt a roar come up out of my soul and past through my lips as I turned into the pain and forced the lightning back challenging the pain into the force of my rage and my enemy I had to subdue.

“Ahhhhhoooo. FUCK YOU!!” I roared back punching back the lightning falling to my knees.

I didn’t have the strength to go on luckily I didn’t need to. The storm passed and I felt it as my body electrified.

I looked at Antwan as his body was of the same state. He grinned at me.

“Here comes the fun part.” He said.

I stood embraced the conflict and pain. It happened.

The quckening…
