level one // ancient gardens // 990 words"Oi! Are you still kicking mate!" a familiar voice screamed towards Roadhog, who was lying on the road. He slowly opened his eyes and saw that his boss, Junkrat, was standing over him with his hands on his hips. Roadhog rolled his eyes and attempted to get himself up, but Junkrat offered a hand. And with his help, Roadhog got up and remembered that they were in King's Row neighborhood in London doing a mission with Talon. The mission was simple enough to follow: secure the EMP device and plant it inside the Underworld, a claustrophobic city for omnics. However, it seemed that Overwatch knew about their little plan and decided to stop them. Talon fought with Overwatch several times across the world and lost plenty battles with them. Recently, Rialto was a major failure as Overwatch agents were successful in entering Talon's headquarters and retrieved several classified info. It was most likely how Overwatch knew about the plan.
"What happened?" Roadhog asked.
"Well, Reinhardt was beating you up pretty good before we came to the rescue." Junkrat explained to Roadhog while walking towards Reaper and the other team members. He shouted his name and pointed at Roadhog. Reaper came over towards the Junkers and said, "It seems that you lived. Not many could say that."
"He's stronger than he looks!" Junkrat pointed out.
"I suppose so." Reaper only stated before returning to the others. He was explaining how Sombra and Widowmaker went ahead to spy on Overwatch stationed near the entrance of the Underworld before Junkrat interrupted him. Now, he had a new plan on crushing the resistance. Sombra and Widowmaker would distract them while the rest of the team launched a surprise attack with help from the tube lines. Now with Roadhog presented, he was going to be the distract Overwatch with help from Junkrat (once he set up the explosions in the tube line). Meanwhile, the others would attempt to flank Overwatch and plant the EMP device.
With the plan in place, Talon split up and went to their destination. Roadhog waited at the abandoned Fox and Bear for Junkrat to return from the underground station. He took the time to reflect the life that he had as Roadhog, a merciless killing machine. Roadhog became a well-known name across the Outback for his ruthless method of completing contracts and collecting targets. Then, he met the infamous Junkrat. Junkrat was wanted for possessing something incredibly valuable to the entire world. Of course, Roadhog thought that it was going to an easy job to deliver him to the Queen; but, he never expected to be betrayed by her.
Afterward, he had no choice to work with Junkrat to find out why she betrayed him. Unfortunately, she didn't provide any useful answers to him and it left him feeling empty. It was when he offered to become Junkrat's bodyguard for fifty percent. Junkrat fought with him about the percentage but accepted it at fifty-fifty. Now it has been a year since the offer was accepted, both Junkers are close friends and have been through a lot during the year. Roadhog then remembered a life before the explosion. Before the Junkers. Before the mask. However, he noticed that it was brighter thanks to the reflection of the glass. It was as if an explosion went off in the distance, but he didn't remember Junkrat planting anything in London.
Originally, he went to contract Junkrat to question him about it but was abruptly interrupted by the sky. It lit up like the Sun was crashing towards the Earth, which caused Roadhog to be blinded for a moment. He tried to get back into the pub but fell to the ground on accident. While his vision was returning, he heard Junkrat shouting in surprise and tried to get in contact with everyone including his pal. "Roadie, where are you?!" Junkrat demanded. Before he could respond, Roadhog's vision returned and watched as pure light was coming towards him like a flame. It was the last thing that he saw.
There was only oblivion. There was no way of communicating or moving in the darkness. It felt like Roadhog was slowing losing his mind to the blackness. But, he heard whispers of people in the distance with no beginning or ending. Finally, he decided to attempt running towards the source. It felt like he wasn't going anyway, but the whispers got louder and louder. Suddenly, he heard a shot so loud that it echoed across nothingness. Then, he woke up to a sunny day with clean skies. Roadhog felt like that he was asleep for an eternity, but he clearly remembered everything before being consumed by the light.
He knew that he wasn't in London anymore. And in a moment of fear and rage, he grabbed the chain and yanking it as hard as he could. The hook flew pass some of the strangers before Roadhog caught. Then, he stabbed the hook onto the ground and used it as a support to help himself off of the ground. After getting up, Roadhog shoved few of the strangers out of the way in the hopes of giving himself a fair advantage. He stared at the group of strangers and couldn't see Junkrat or anyone familiar.
Roadhog clutched his scrap gun and hook in preparation for a fight. He had no reason to trust them at all. After all, he couldn't remember how he got to this foreign land. "Where am I?" he tried to ask the group of strangers and got no answer due to the mask causing his voice to be muffled. When he got no answer, he pulled the trigger of his scrap gun and fired a warning shot. The scrap left holes in the ground to serve as a reminder to respond quickly. And when Roadhog felt that it wasn't quick enough, he decided to yell out the question in anger.
"WHERE AM I!?"

"No... no fucking way." Frankie Gomez responded while dropping the cell phone and knife in terror. Soon enough, he realized that thing was the one who caused and most likely killed his pursuiters. He had thought that officers had entered the building until he heard the dying screams and cries for help. But he never thought something as appalling as the dark figure staring at him. It wanted to ask a few questions and expected them to be answered. Of course, Gomez nodded while processing the whole thing. It started with a simple question: "Who are you?"
"Frankie Gomez." Gomez answered.
Inque went the bathroom and saw a man in it, hugging his knees in fear. Then, it closed the door and turned to Gomez, who was sweating and trying to explain the situation. Before he could finish, the creature grabbed and threw him out of the room and into the hallway. He quickly got up and slowly walked away from it. The figure walked out of the room as it shut the door slowly instead of slamming it close. Now, it was getting tried and asked another question in a demanding tone: "Why were you being chased?"
Gomez didn't know if he should lie or tell it the truth to... whatever it was. With nowhere to go, what options does he have left to play? Make a run for it in the hopes that it doesn't catch up to him? Or tell him and see if it had sympathy? He felt the window and realized that he had reached the end of the hallway. With time slowly running out, Gomez sighed, looked at the figure, and began speaking, "I am apart of the Juรกrez Locos until I fucked up tonight. All because of fucking Jorge. I told them that he was unstable because of the drugs but nobody cared. We almost had him and he fucked everything up. And now, I am paying for it."
"'We almost had' who?"
"Hernando de la Cruz, the head of the Aztecas. Even if I manage to survive tonight, the Azteca Cartel will never forgive nor forget my actions." Gomez paused and collapsed to the ground with tears in his eyes, realizing that he's a dead man walking. "Oh god, I am a goner."
Inque felt nothing for the man while staring at him with a dead expression; however, he did have his answers even if it left him with more questions. Who were the Azteca Cartel and the Juรกrez Locos? What happened to the point that the Locos planned on killing Hernando? For now, he had to deal with the sorry excuse that was crying for his mama. Inque had one final question left and asked, "Do you have regrets?"
"Huh?" Gomez looked up at the monster still crying over his inevitable death.
"You know, regrets for working with the so-called Juรกrez Locos. Regrets for being a cowardly criminal with the purpose of ruining lives. Regrets for killing victims caught in between this little rivalry or destroying lives. Those kind of regrets?" Inque explained the questions and waited for an answer. Gomez reflected

C-SEC IDEA: The Citadel Security is the law enforcement for the Citadel with the responsibility of protection millions aboard the space station. Hundreds signed up in the hopes of securing a spot but applicants are scrutinized and have to be sponsored by their ambassador. Even then, they have to deal with the training and boot camp regardless of background. And after all of that, the rookies are sent out to gain some experience in the peaceful Presidium before being thrown to the wolves in one of the many wards. It has always been like that since its foundation. Until 2183.
On that year, the Council stripped Saren Arterius of his Spectre status thanks to the evidence provided by Officer Vakarian and the Systems Alliance commander known as John Shepard. They also decided to make Shepard the first Human Spectre and gave him the task of killing Saren with several possible leads. Afterwards, the Council knew for a fact that Saren still had contracts in the Citadel and contracted Executor Venari Pallin for a private meeting to discuss the matter. It was made clear that Saren will used his resource within the Citadel and C-Sec to undermine the Human Spectre's task. Executor Pallin didn't like the thought but knew that a secret task force was needed to eliminate the rouge Spectre's contracts and friends in the Citadel.
It was then that Operation Kingslayer was created with the goal of ensuring Saren's presence in the Citadel was completely cut; however, there was a big problem. C-Sec was mostly under Saren's influence with the expectation of the Executor himself and a few loyal officers, but it wasn't going to be enough. It was when that he got the idea of using the new arrival

Yanagita โKirinโ Shunji
"The hardest lesson that I learned during my youth was to think for myself."Appearance
Yanagita stood 6โ 2โ and weighted around one hundred fifty pounds with a muscular frame. He was always told that he looked and sounded like his father according to relatives. He always maintained a healthy body and often worked out despite his prosthetic leg. The prosthetic leg won't be noticeable whenever he is wearing his armor around, but it becomes very oblivious in casual wear. Beside the leg, there wasn't anything "fake" about him. And whenever he isn't wearing his armor, you might spot him wearing a professional outfit that makes him looks like an off duty officer than a freelancer. And he tends to cut his hair short since he spent time with the Alliance (Artist: Lee Yong).

Being in the military has made Yanagita into a mature and strict person. He's the one person that would be honest about any given situation and then provide a plan to deal with it. And with being a military person comes at a cost. Whenever he is in the heat of battle, he gets excited and all of his worried temporary disappear. Even if he isn't in the front lines. Once he's back in outfit, that excitement is gone and replaced with fear and anxiety. It won't drive him insane, but it does bug him. He would spent time on his omni-tool to distract his mind.
And as far as talking about the past, the only other person that knew about it was Quintis. And he prefers that.
Bio
Yanagita Shunji was born a year after the discovery on Mars to Nakagome & Yamaha. They both were scientists who were trying to extract any remaining technologies from the ruins. That was why Yanagita was born on Lowell City. Once the Alliance had no more use for the scientists, they moved back to Japan and began working for them more often. Yamaha became a recruiter for the Alliance's science department to care for her only child while Nakagome directly worked for the Alliance. Nakagome was one of the scientists that studied the Charon Relay when it was discovered to reactive it. However, Yanagita barely remembered his childhood expected on the day that the First Contact happened.
Nakagome had been working with the Alliance to active any deactivated relays that they found. However, they met resistance when reactivating Relay 314. The aliens, which were the turians, opened fire on the fleet and destroyed all but one starship. Unfortunately, Nakagome wasn't on the lone starship and perished. Yanagita and Yamaha did not hear about the attack until the lone ship returned and learned of Nakagome's fate. Heartbroken and angry, she developed a hatred for aliens, especially turians and wanted the Alliance to keep fighting them after Shanxi fell. While, Yanagita was heartbroken over his father's sudden death, but he never truly understood what happened until he was older.
Yanagita struggled without his father during his time in middle and high school while his mother found comfort with Terra Firma, an anti-alien political party. Yamaha soon became a key speaker for the party and attended rallies to spread Terra Firma's message. She often got into arguments about alien influences on humanity with protesters; however, that didn't bother Yanagita until he got into high school. In high school, students quickly learned about his mother and assumed he had the same beliefs. Thus, he had to deal with bullying and mocking from everyone. It wasn't until his last year in high school that he wanted to prove everyone wrong.
In order to do that, he had to confront his own mother while she was giving her usual speech on the ninth anniversary of the First Contract War. Yamaha was stunned and embarrassed that her own son would proclaim his support of aliens and say it on the anniversary of Nakagome's death. As if it wasn't enough, a picture of Yanagita kissing a turian went viral days after the speech. It was such a big scandal that Terra Firma denounced Yamaha and discredited her as a member. She never forgave Yanagita for dishonoring the family name and ruining her only source of happiness. When he turned eighteen and finished school, she kicked him out and told him to never visit.
With nowhere to go, Yanagita went to an Alliance recruiter to join. He got basic training before being placed in a division apart of the Alliance Engineering Corp. His division was responsible for maintaining defenses of colonies located in the Skyllian Verge against pirates and slavers. Whenever he was on military leave, he attended college in Elysium to get a degree in electrical engineering. Thankfully, Yanagita wasn't on Elysium when it came under attack during the Skyllian Blitz. The attack made him angry towards the pirates and wanted to fight back. And when he heard of the upcoming battle on Torfan, he requested transform to the 103rd Marine Division. The chain of command approved the transform and Yanagita left for Torfan.
The Battle of Torfan was a bloodbath for the Alliance while a massacre for the pirates on the moon. Hundreds of Alliance soldiers were killed during the push towards the base. And thousands got injured, including Yanagita, who had shrapnel in his legs due to an explosion. It was his first serious injury that he got during his time in the Alliance. He never regretted the decision to join the Marine Division but it was a wake up call. Once he got his degree, he decided to leave the Alliance and move into the Citadel. However, civilian life was difficult for Yanagita to get back. The Citadel was too peaceful for a military man, like Yanagita, to spend his remaining life. And he didn't have many friends in the Citadel until he met Sertius Quintis. Quintis was a C-Sec officer that met with Yanagita during his break.
Both Quintis and Yanagita were military men at a point in their life and went to the Citadel to retire; but, Quintis joined C-Sec to keep himself busy. After some convincing, Yanagita applied to the C-Sec's Network Division. It wasn't as fun as being part of the Patrol Division, but he knew that his skill would be best suited to deal with E-Crimes. For three years, he did his job for the Network Division to the best of his abilities without question. His superiors were impressed with Yanagita and gave him pay raises. And Quintis became a great friend to Yanagita. Life was comfortable enough for Yanagita until the Citadel was under attack.
Yanagita volunteered his assistance to the Patrol Division given his time in the Alliance. His superiors accepted the request and sent him to temporary join Quintis' unit. Both Yanagita and Quintis were tasked with escorting citizens to one of many safety zones established by C-Sec. The situation was getting better with the arrival of the Alliance fleet and the destruction of the key starship. Until pieces of it began to crash down on the station. One of the pieces from the massive starship crash landed onto the safety zone that Yanagita and Quintis were in. They were trapped under rubble for hours until C-Sec finally got them out and transported to a local hospital. Yanagita' left leg had to be amputated due to it being seriously infected, while Quintis lost both of his legs. However, both men got free prosthetics because of their actions during the attack. And in need of more officers, they were offered their original jobs.
Both men quickly accepted the offer and went back to work within the month; but, Yanagita was bored working at a desk job and solving the usual extranet crime. Originally, he tried to apply for the Patrol Division but was rejected. So he did what he felt was right and retired for C-Sec. Quintis was confused about the sudden retirement and confronted Yanagita about it. He went on to explain how he felt so alive and energized during the Battle of the Citadel that he realized how much he missed the front lines. And if C-Sec wasn't going to give it to him, he had to look somewhere else.
Shortly after retiring C-Sec, Yanagita left the Citadel to begin his new life as a freelancer. In a seven month period, he had only taken a few jobs around the galaxy. He used several of his nicknames as alias and gained a decent reputation for getting a job done despite causing a mess. Being a freelancer cost him a comfortable job and a possible relationship, but Yanagita Shunji has never once expressed regret for his decision. Just like his choice of defying his mother and being apart of Torfan.

Strengths
In combat, Yanagita Shunji is completely focus on accomplishing the objective while having fun in his own way. He is able to follow orders throughโeven if he disagrees with him. If you need a sniper to provide support for afar or someone for close quarter fighting, then Shunji's your guy to ask. And it's thanks to the military authorities in his life that taught him about the importance of loyalty and the long terms benefits. As a result, he isn't prejudiced towards most species expect for batarians because of reasons. For his skills as an engineer, he knows how to repair, restore, and build several things if you give the space and tools required. His speciality is weapons, armors, prosthetics, and augmentations.
Weaknesses
Even known Shunji is an engineer, he is a terrible hacker compared to other engineers. He cannot hack a simple machine if his life was depending on it. It was one of the reasons why the Alliance moved him to the front lines rather than with the other engineers. In the terms of being a freelancer, he isn't well known across the galaxy and tends to be careful while selecting his next contract due to his good nature. Thanks to his time in the Alliance and C-Sec, Shunji has a hard time overcoming that aspect of him and its preventing him from becoming a better freelancer.
After the battle is over, Shunji has to deal with his worries and fears, eating him up because of his fear of the uncontrollable future. And the fear that his past, his family, will catch up with him. The Alliance and C-Sec helped him kept those fears in line for a while until he decided to move on for them. During the first few months as a freelancer, every fear and worry started to overwhelm and he found comfort in drugs. The high of smoking marijuana kept him chill and relaxed. Then, he tried and fell in love with other drugs like Hallex; but, he stayed away from red sand. Alcohol, on the other hand, was something that Shunji only drank with people or his friend. He does know that these things could affect his mind and thought of seeking out a therapist. But, he hated the idea of sharing his thoughts and feelings with a stranger.
Misc
As for Batarians, he hates them for what they did during the Skyllian Blitz and especially the Battle of Torfan. He had to watch as countless soldiers and friends were killed by batarians and it isn't something you forget about.

Psychological Profile
Being in the military has made Shunji into a mature and strict person. He's the one person that would be honest about any given situation and then provides a plan to deal with it. But, he won't consider him to be a leader. For one, he lacks the confidence and ambition to lead a team. Hell, he only became a freelancer to seek out the feeling of enjoyment during combat not because of fame and fortune. But, he is more of a loyal follower than a fearless leader. Take him out of combat and he is a different person.
A person that doesn't have many hobbies and interests because it doesn't provide the same amount of excitement that war has. A person that finds civilian life to be boring. It was the reason why Shunji joined C-Sec after leaving the Alliance. C-Sec provided him some form of comfort and excitement until the Citadel was under attack. Afterwards, that desire proven to be too much for Shunji to handle and left C-Sec behind to become a freelancer. He knew that being a freelancer provided enough excitement even if it meant attacking the authorities. But, he has the fear that freelancing won't be enough to contain it. He has already sought out drugs in an attempt to solve that problem. Even then, he will always feel that nothing can be done about controlling or even curing his problem.
Despite dealing with that problem, Shunji tries his best to be positive in front of strangers. He does it because he wants to prove his mother wrong. She judged people heavily and criticized them on everything from looks to the way they sit. And she hated aliens, especially turians because she never could forgive them for killing her husband. Even if it has been hard to not judge, he does his absolute best to get to know people instead of assuming things about them.

Light Freedom armor VI (in the color and with the golden markings from the picture).
Strengths
In combat, Yanagita Shunji is completely focused on accomplishing the objective while having fun in his own way. He is able to follow orders throughโeven if he disagrees with him. If you need a sniper to provide support for afar or someone for close quarter fighting, then Shunji's your guy to ask. And it's thanks to the military authorities in his life that taught him about the importance of loyalty and the long term benefits. As a result, he isn't prejudiced towards most species except for batarians because of reasons. For his skills as an engineer, he knows how to repair, restore, and build several things if you give the space and the tools required. His specialty is weapons, armors, prosthetics, and augmentations.
Weaknesses
Even known Shunji is an engineer, he is a terrible hacker compared to other engineers. He cannot hack a simple machine if his life was depending on it. It was one of the reasons why the Alliance moved him to the front lines rather than with the other engineers. In the terms of being a freelancer, he isn't well known across the galaxy and tends to be careful while selecting his next contract due to his good nature. Thanks to his time in the Alliance and C-Sec, Shunji has a hard time overcoming that aspect of him and its preventing him from becoming a better freelancer.
After the battle is over, Shunji has to deal with his worries and fears, eating him up because of his fear of the uncontrollable future. And the fear that his past, his family, will catch up with him. The Alliance and C-Sec helped him kept those fears in line for a while until he decided to move on for them. During the first few months as a freelancer, every fear and worry started to overwhelm and he found comfort in drugs. The high of smoking marijuana kept him chill and relaxed. Then, he tried and fell in love with other drugs like Hallex; but, he stayed away from red sand. Alcohol, on the other hand, was something that Shunji only drank with people or his friend. He does know that these things could affect his mind and thought of seeking out a therapist. But, he hated the idea of sharing his thoughts and feelings with a stranger.
Misc
As for batarians, he hates them for what they did during the Skyllian Blitz and especially the Battle of Torfan. In Torfan, he had to watch as countless soldiers and friends were killed by batarians, but he is trying to move on. And as for hobbies, Shunji recently got into cooking as another way of keeping his mind occupied. And he used to draw a whole lot before stopping for some odd reason. In the terms of having fun, he does like to play strategy games, like Kepesh-Yakshi and chess, and watching war movies. In terms of a love life, he hasn't been seeking out a relationship due to the Alliance and C-Sec; however, he has had a few one night stands. And he has a crush on turians.
Yanagita Shunji's theme song, Triumph, represents the struggles that he dealt with throughout his life and how he has always overcome them even if it came at a cost.

Inque felt nothing for the man while staring at him with a dead expression; however, he did have his answers even if it left him with more questions. Who were the Azteca Cartel and the Juรกrez Locos? What happened to the point that the Locos planned on killing Hernando? For now, he had to deal with the sorry excuse that was crying for his mama. Inque had one final question left and asked, "Do you have regrets?"
"Huh?" Gomez looked up at the monster still crying over his inevitable death.
"You know, regrets for working with the so-called Juรกrez Locos. Regrets for being a cowardly criminal with the purpose of ruining lives. Regrets for killing victims caught in between this little rivalry or destroying lives. Those kind of regrets?" Inque explained the questions and waited for an answer. Gomez reflected

level two // ancient gardens // 262 wordsRoadhog didn't have enough time to respond to the incoming giant brute rabbit and thought he was going to get pinned. Then, he noticed that the large lizard managed to block the brute's charge attack. Before Roadhog could even respond, he felt someone using him as a launching pad in order to retreat the hat. Suddenly, he heard the same gunshot from earlier and felt the wind from the bullet before it hit its target. The hat landed on the dirt ground as the turrets were getting to fire upon the group and everyone else caught in the middle and more omnics showed up. The lizard screamed out orders to protect his hat as he was going to distract the turret and engineer. Roadhog was impressed by the lizard's abilities while destroying countless omnics in the process.
That was when the little animal decided to retreat the hat and the pink creature that was inside it. Roadhog also realized that it was a perfect time to catch the engineer off guard. He ran towards the opposite direction while firing at the omnics to ensure that nothing was going to distract him. And he got to a clear spot with nothing blocking the view of the turret and engineer. It was when that he put away his gun and pulled out the chain. Roadhog spun it a few times in the hopes that it would go far enough that he would get caught in the hook. Then, he threw it as hard as he could and got ready to pull it towards him.
NEW POWER: Chain Hook - Roadhog hurls his chain at a target. If it catches someone, then it yanks them into close range.

Thirty-three | Male | 5'5" | AB
General Information
NAME
Kadrick Shelton
ALIASES // TITLES
Kingslayer
SEX
Male
AGE
Thirty-three
APPEARANCE
Standing at 5'5" and weighting only two hundred pounds, Kadrick Shelton
OCCUPATION
Shelton is a prominent war reporter with ten years of experience under his belt from reporting in several war zones. He got his start in the disgraced Metrochicago with reporting on the Chicago Revolt of 2052 from Midwest News Network. A year after the report, CNN invited him to join the broadcast as a wartime reporter with a decent paycheck to connect. Of course, Shelton accepted the offer and spent five years as the war correspondent while traveling around the world. He has reported on the Third Balkan War, the Isles Revolt, Fall of the EU, and countless other wars and revolts.
But, the one that earned him the nickname of "Kingslayer" was his report on the Mexican Gas Crisis. On 2059, he exposed that both Mexican and American corporations were working with the cartel-run government to gather oil resources for themselves since the world was running out of it. After publishing the story, the National Palace in Mexico City was stormed by angry citizens with weapons. Shortly after, the corpses of President Jonathan Pareja and his family were brought outside to be displayed while the palace was burning in the background. Thus, the Second Mexican Revolution begun. And it painted a huge target on Shelton.
CAMPAIGN TEAM POSITION
After CNN was forced to let him go from their network, Shelton went into freelancing and planned on a living a quiet life in hiding from the assassins. That was before he heard about Campbell's campaign. He decided to apply as their reporter after thinking about it. As the campaign's reporter, he would update the public about the latest regarding Dexter Campbell and the upcoming election. Behind the scenes, he would also update and provide information to the campaign team with the latest news and rumors of their opponents.
Psychological Profile
Extraordinary | Freethinking | Incorruptible | Anxious | Flamboyant | Difficult
PERSONAL GOAL
Other than trying to hide from the people that want him dead, Shelton hopes of maintaining his new job as a freelance writer while reporting the real facts. He also wants an end to the restless nights and fears of being killed in the public by assassins. He believes that the Reclaim Zone could be the safe haven for him but knows that life in the zone is rough. If he plans on spending years in hiding, then he would want the zone to at least have decent living standards. And he doesn't want a corrupted corporate man or a gang leader to become mayor.
CAMPAIGN GOAL
The current candidates will make life in the Reclaim Zone even more of a living hell unlike Campbell. Shelton sees him as the only honest person left in this zone. If he plans on living in the Reclaim Zone until his dying breath, then he would at least try to make it a decent place.
PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY: (Who are you really? What morally defines you? What drives you?)
POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY: (What are your views on the world? While a partisan identity would be nice to include, feel free to define yourself outside of the five parties. This is important as Campbell will eventually have to choose a party to represent.)
SECRETS
Shelton funded several anarchist groups during the Isles Revolt and gave classified information towards them about British loyalists movements. He also funded several other anarchist movements and groups during the European Union's collapse. And if it wasn't clear enough, he is a closeted anarchists with connections to American anarchist groups and underground movements.
FEARS
Ever since the first assassination attempt on his life, Shelton hasn't been able to get a good night's rest and has to keep an eye open. It is also the reason why people always see him with a weapon in his possession because he isn't afraid to fight back. But, he is afraid of being surrounded by crowds of people with no option to escape or hide. But, he is more afraid of his secrets being revealed to the whole world. At that point, he would rather be dead than live after all of his secrets have been found. Anarchists are hatred by the entire world especially the corporations. Shelton doesn't doubt one second that a few governments and corporations would want his head after learning of his secrets.
REPUTATION
The worlds knows Shelton as a respected war correspondent that brought them endless footage and stories of war to billions of people. Some, like the Mexican cartel and several corporations, view him as a threat and want him dealt with. While others respect and even admire his years of working under CNN before he was let go due to the events in Mexico. Now as a freelancer and working in Campbell's campaign, he has managed to collect a few favors with several groups and individuals.

Type of Government
Civil Authority
Head of Government
Assembly
Economy
Flotilla has a completely different economic system from the rest of the world because of their limitations. For example, there isn't an official form of currency. Due to small spaces, the people of Flotilla value have to barter items to others within the Flotilla and outsiders. Even without a currency system, the government saved various types of currencies as payments to other countries for refueling and stocking up on valuable supplies. However, they were known to also barter with other countries whenever possible. They were sought after because of their crafts along with exotic goods, machinery, and electricity.
Unique Technologies
Civilian Airships are airships that are completely different compared to military airships. It was thanks to advancements in airborne machinery that it was possible to construct airships designed for farming, housing, or industrial.
Primary Species
Humans
Population
1.5 million
Culture
In the eyes of the government, foods, medicines, and things people took for granted were deemed luxuries. If the government has proof that a person was being wasteful, then they were exiled and placed in jail until they were release. Prisoners were often traded into the slave market if nations had one. If nations abolished slavery, then they usually were released them into the public. Laws are some of the strictest in the world compared to other nations due to their situation. Criminals found guilty of felonies were usually sent to death by firing squad or pushing them off of the airship. Exile depends on the crime and context of said crime.
Religion and Other Beliefs
Most of the citizens didn't believe in God or any religion while the government officially accepted all kinds of religions.
Military
Airships made up almost the entirely military for the country given that they lacked any land or water for a proper military and navy. Their organization was divided into three different groups: Scouting Fleet, Civilian Fleet, and Heavy Fleet. The Scouting Fleet made sure that the entire Flotilla was safe by scouting ahead while they also request docking permission and permission for their Flotilla to float above their city. And they also secured passage and diplomatic ties before entering another nations airspace. Then, there were the Civilian Fleet. Their purpose was to house the civilians while providing them with food, jobs, and places to trade. Often enough, you saw all of them in one civilian airship; however, large scale farming and industry have their own civilian ship. And finally, there were the Heavy Fleet. They were the navy and only main source of protection for the entire Flotilla. People saw the strongest ones surrounding the capital ship, which housed the Assembly.
However, there were the Flotilla Marines tasked with naval-infantry and police operations. The citizens saw them as the police force that were trained to handle invasions if the enemy boarded their ships.
Magic Prevalence/Usage
Magic users were forbidden because of their uncertainty and the risk of accidentally blowing up an airship.
History/ Background Info
The formation of the Flotilla began shortly after the volcano erupted and covered much of the world in ash. Fearful that a government collapse was on the way, the high-ranking military officials and the influential wealthy class gathered to discuss plans of leaving before chaos took over. With their airships ready, the respected military and the remaining wealthy class abandoned their nation and decided to live in the skies until things on the ground calmed down. But it took a while before that could happen.
The wealthy tried to overthrow the military and failed. As a result, they were either executed or traded off into the country with slaves. Thus, they were granted access to their docks for refueling and stocking up on supplies. Eventually, they went on to build several more ships with the supplies given designed to be farms and houses for citizens. And the stories of flying cities began spreading across the world and people wanted to join the Flotilla. It was when the Assembly announced that people can join the Flotilla only if they give them gifts like resources, technologies, and even airships.
Nation Relations
Since Flotilla don't have any borders and land, they kept logs of trading with several nations throughout the world. The Divine Empire of Hastur was their first official trading partner and the only nation that had an active slave market. With an agreement agreed upon, the Flotilla sends their prisoners to become slaves from Hastur in return for exclusive access (need to talk asap).

For years, nothing responded to their attempts at communication. Regardless, they kept on trying their best with inventing new devices and methods of communicating to the stars. But what if something was listening and watching without them realizing? An powerful life form capable of traveling the stars in light speed and having the tools to crush resistance. Now, they are ready to launch their invasion. Yet, the aliens know that it will be a tough fight because of the human spirit. And life for millions of people on Earth will forever change.

Roadhog avoided answering Junkrat's question and was forced on the map instead. He placed it on top of the hood of a jeep and stared at it for a moment. There was the heavy guarded entrance filled with enough guards to easily kill the both of them off. Thankfully, Johnny had made an escape route to avoid all of the guards and it should lead them towards the palace; however, there were the guards inside the building to deal with. Maybe create a distraction with something. Then, he looked at Junkrat and remembered his little bombs from earlier.
"Can you make explosions?" Roadhog asked while scanning the tour bus near him.
He lift the hood up and saw that most of its part were still intact. And it seemed like there was enough fuel to make it to Junkertown. If it was rigged with bombs, it could create a big enough explosion to get the guard's attention. And they could be able to sneak into the palace without alerting the guards and the locals. The plan might work. Roadhog was finished inspecting the bus and said, "If you can, make some bombs and shove them into this bus."
He approached Junkrat and continued, "Once you are done, come find me and we will leave tonight."
Roadhog saw the tour bus slowly disappearing into the horizon and secretly hoped for their safe.

"who knows if the moon's //
a balloon, coming out of a keen city
// in the skyโfilled with pretty people?"
The view of the sunrise was one of the best things about living in the clouds rather than on the ground. Other airships dominated the skies while traveling across the ocean. It had been a few months since their last visit to land and the prisons were almost filled with inmates. Nearby, a public execution was planned for several criminals that ranged from murders to wasters. Rowland Blodwell heard the announcer calling out the names of the inmates while he was boarding the small transport airship. He stood there while the transport flew towards Executioner's Island, an airship designed for killing criminals sent to death. People were allowed to see these executions in action for free. If someone paid to attend one of these events, then they were offered seating in the lower levels.
When the transport stopped and its door opened, Blodwell heard one of the inmate pleading for his life before he was thrown off the island. That was the method of execution for every single criminal sent to death. Many civilians loved the event that thousands often travel the island to see these executions in person. He walked pass a large family eating their breakfast while the executions were going on. The hooded executioner gave the time of death while the warden was writing it down on paper. Blodwell took a seat on a bench and waited for the murderer's name to be called.
"Ida Sullivan." the warden said the man's name while two marines were escorting him to the stage. Of course, Sullivan tried to escape but the handcuffs and footcuffs prevented that for happening. When the marines placed him on the spot, the warden continued. "You have been found guilty of murdering factory worker, William Sedlow, over a disagreement and sent to death. Do you have any last words?"
"It was an accident! I am an innocent man!" Sullivan shouted at the crowd before they booed at him. After saying his last words, the warden gestured at the executioner to do his thing with the two marines standing at his side. The executioner approached the prisoner and forced him towards the edge of the stage which overlooked the skies and several airships. Sullivan kept on repeating his last words before he was pushed off the edgy. The crowd erupted into cheers that was loud enough to cover Sullivan's scream while he was falling to his death. Blodwell didn't care about the execution and wanted to be on Executioner's Island but his presence was called upon.
"Enjoying the show?" a mysterious voice asked Blodwell.
"Not really, miss..."
"Mrs. Ellis." the woman corrected Blodwell before sitting down next to him and placing a suitcase beside them. "You must be Blodwell."
"Yes, Ed-"
"Its best that we stick to last names, Blodwell." Ellis interrupted him before he could finish. Then, the warden called out the next prisoner's name. The prisoner tried to run away from the stage but the marines manged to capture him. The crowd cheered on while both Ellis shoved the suitcase over towards Blodwell. He grabbed the suitcase and opened it up. Inside was a gun and a photo of an older man. She got up from the bench and said quietly before leaving, "You know what to do, Blodwell."

"ISS, This is Houston. Do you copy?"
"Go ahead." Josh Griffith answered.
"Mission abort. Repeat, mission abort. ISS, prep for immediate emergency evacuation. I repeat, prep for emergency evacuation."
"Copy all, Houston." Griffith said. "Kirari, immediate return to ISS for evacuation. Repeat, immediate return to ISS for evacuation."
"Copy that, Griffith." Yamaoka Kirari answered and began protocol for evacuation. While she was prepping for evacuation, she asked Houston to elaborate about the reason.
"Several unknown objects are traveling faster than a high-speed bullet towards your altitude. Do you copy?"
"Copy, Houston. Are they meteoroids?" Kirari asked.
"We don't know." Houston responded honestly. "Focus on evacuating, ISS. Do you copy?
"Copy that Houston. Prepping for immediate emergency evacuation aboard the Soyuz." Kirari said as she was floating towards the ISS station. Suddenly, she saw a blight light coming from the right side of her helmet. It wasn't the sun nor the meteoroids, but something else. And it was getting close towards her position and the station. Before she could notify Houston about the light, she turned and saw several more blight lights appearing near the first one.
"Houston, do yo-"
It was the last transaction between NASA and the ISS before communications were lost. Of course, they tried to reestablish communications until one of their satellites picked up a live feed of the destroyed ISS station. And the unknown objects had seemed to split up and headed towards the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Ocean. Immediately, NASA contracted the Air Force to alert them of the coming objects.
The beaches of Los Angeles were filled with hundreds of people trying to cool off for the heat. It meant business for stores along the beach, especially the Anchor Bar. Lawson Ochoa was behind the bar serving drinks aside his bartenders to thirsty customers. He had been dealing with this amount of traffic during the summer for several years. The Anchor Bar was considered one of the popular bars that people went to during weekends. Ochoa was nearly finished with mixing the drinks when he saw someone entering the bar and said, "Guys, something's falling from the sky!"
And people, including Ochoa, immediately rushed outside to inspect the sky. When he got outside of his bar, he saw that several dozen people were looking up at the object falling from the sky. It only took seconds before it clashed on the ocean as the waves made its way towards the coast. Beachgoers began running away from the waves and towards land while the beach patrol ensured that everyone was safe. Some people started filming the whole thing on their cell phones. Inside the bar, he heard the news in the background and decided to investigate. The news anchor said that other objects also clashed into the water all over the world. Even NASA was scrambling to find out what those objects were.
Then, Ochoa heard strange noise that made him go outside again. He saw something coming up from the water that clearly wasn't man-made. It looked like a large industrial-like dome sitting in the middle of the ocean. It grew quiet for a moment until something emerging from the water. And it was clearly alien to everyone. Ochoa stared at the alien with curiosity and a bit of fear. Several more aliens also emerged from the water and stood near the shoreline. Some of the people walked slowly towards the aliens in the hopes of establishing peace, but the aliens unleashed hell upon them.
Everyone was running away from the aliens that were slaughtering people with ease. The beach patrol were outnumbered to fight them and joined the crowd of people fleeing. Ochoa ran inside the bar while several others also made their way inside. He ran towards the back to find his car keys and heard people using the back door to escape from the aliens. Before he could look at his office desk, one of his co-workers shouted for people to leave using the back door. Ochoa managed to find his car keys and bolted out of his bar while the aliens were sitting firing on everything that moved.
Everybody was running away, all the while Ochoa made his way towards the car. Once he got inside, he turned the car on and heard the radio talking about the attacks. According to the radio, the National Guard had begun their engage with the alien dome while the US government is planning on sending armed forces to deal with the threat. Ochoa drove away from the beach and planned on going back to his place to hide; but, the main road was filled with abandoned vehicles. So, he needed to find another way home.

"Everything's coming up explodey!"
Background
Life in the Outback forever changed as the Australian Liberation Front destroyed the Omnium, turning the land into an irradiated hell. โJamison Fawkes was one of thousands that were forced to live in the ruins while the government left them to rot. However, some of them became survivors and started to call themselves Junkers. The Junkers started to scavenged the husk of the omnium to form lawless communities across the Outback. For Junkrat, he was the one that made explosives. Of course, it all changed when he found an omnium fusion core within the omnium ruins.
And his friends tried to kill him for it. In turn, he killed them and ran away from the ruins with the fusion core. Despite hiding it in a secret location, all of the Outback wanted his treasure and issued a bounty. Junkrat had killed several bounty hunters before he encountered Roadhog, the one that almost caught him. That was until he was betrayed. So, he hired Roadhog to be his bodyguard. And as they grew closer, Junkrat eventually shared about the treasure. And it made them targets to everybody in the world. Both Overwatch and Talon wanted the treasure.
Then, everything was consumed by a light.
Personality
The lingering radiation from the Omnium turned Jamison into Junkrat, a chaos-inducing maniac with an obsession for explosions. He doesn't like solving things that can't be solved with money or death. And as a result, his impulsive, trigger-happy nature often gets him into trouble since he doesn't think things through. If it wasn't for Roadhog, Junkrat would have been killed a long time ago. Unlike his partner, Roadhog, he loves to talk so much that he doesn't know how to shut up. And he is a whole lot nicer and kind-hearted compared to Roadhog.

Powers
Total Mayhem - Whenever in danger and/or harmed, Junkrat throws several live grenades towards the enemy in a deranged sense of humor.
Strengths
Explosion Expert - Junkrat knows things about bombs, explosions, and plenty of other things that no civilized person would know. Hell, he can even make them with the right parts and some junk.
Weaknesses
Insane - Due to the explosion, the radiation from the Omnium drove Junkrat into an insane maniac with a passion for destruction.
Spirits
None
Kindred Spirits
Moria - Overwatch - The Talon scientist and geneticist known for her controversial stance on rewriting the

years. She was the natural leader, the brains of the partnership, and had connections with many people in
the Boston QZ. Sadly, she became infected and later killed by a squad of soldiers. However, the Light
bought her back to life before she was infected.

"Love, that spark of light within man, can save the world.
I will stay and fight against hate, that darkness within us, for a world I know possible."
I will stay and fight against hate, that darkness within us, for a world I know possible."
Princess Diana of Themyscira, daughter of Queen Hippolyta, was created with clay from Paradise Island and given life thanks to her father, Zeus. Then, she was granted six gifts from the Gods themselves: Great strength, wisdom and courage, a hunter's heart and communion with the animals, beauty and loving heart, sisterhood with fire, and speed and the ability of flight. Diana grew up with the Amazons, a race of warrior women isolated from the rest of the world, and lived in peace for hundreds of years. Until she overheard her mother talking about Man's World preparing for war. With the heart of compassion, she pleaded to go to Man's World but Hippolyta forbade her for speaking about Man's World.
So, she decided to disobey her mother and leave for Man's World. Diana snuck into the island's tower at night and stole the Amazonian sword and Themysciran shield, the Lasso of Hestia, the Bracelets of Submission, and Amazonian battle armor. Then, she encountered her mother in front of the dock knowing that her daughter was leaving. Hippolyta told her that leaving the island meant exile for life and gave her the tiara before saying her goodbye. Diana left behind her home island in order to save man from war and destruction. After spending a few days in the Mediterranean, a British-American spy, Steve Trevor, spotted Diana and her wooden ship drifting and managed to get her onto the cargo ship.
After their first encounter, Diana told him about wanting to help stop the war from happening but she was already too late. However, she wanted to help end the war as soon as possible. Steve Trevor introduced her to his task force designed to take down high ranking officers from the Central Powers and protecting civilians caught in between. Soon enough, the press learned about her and started to call her Wonder Woman. Then, the war ended and Diana planned on exploring the world with Steve Trevor. Of course, their plans changed when the Second World War began and it was different. With the rise of Hydra and Red Skull during the war, she saw herself working with Captain America for a while until he went missing somewhere in the North Atlantic Ocean.
When the war officially ended with the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Wonder Woman drew criticism from denouncing the bombings; but, she persisted in the matter. She and Steve founded the World Veterans Federation to promote the well-being of veterans and victims of war worldwide. During the Cold War, she used WVF and her fame to call for the disarmament of nuclear weapons, especially after the Cuban Missile Crisis. Then, Steve Trevor died in 1978 due to heart problems and Diana hid from the public eye to mourn. Thirty-three years later, she returned to the spotlight after 9/11 to help with the victims. Since there, she has been all over the world to protect the victims of war and chaos.
So, she decided to disobey her mother and leave for Man's World. Diana snuck into the island's tower at night and stole the Amazonian sword and Themysciran shield, the Lasso of Hestia, the Bracelets of Submission, and Amazonian battle armor. Then, she encountered her mother in front of the dock knowing that her daughter was leaving. Hippolyta told her that leaving the island meant exile for life and gave her the tiara before saying her goodbye. Diana left behind her home island in order to save man from war and destruction. After spending a few days in the Mediterranean, a British-American spy, Steve Trevor, spotted Diana and her wooden ship drifting and managed to get her onto the cargo ship.
After their first encounter, Diana told him about wanting to help stop the war from happening but she was already too late. However, she wanted to help end the war as soon as possible. Steve Trevor introduced her to his task force designed to take down high ranking officers from the Central Powers and protecting civilians caught in between.

After fighting in two world wars and seeing mankind almost destroy themselves in the Cold War, Wonder Woman has increasingly grown tired of war and the suffer it often brings. She wants action to be taken in favor of peace, not increasing military budget or the nuclear arsenal, meaning that she needs to get political. Of course, she would still fight bad guys and kick ass doing so. But, it would be interesting to focus on the politics of this world. And there are many things I have in store for a Wonder Woman that partook in both World Wars and has been around for a hundred years.
C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:
The international community is still questioning what Wonder Woman's existent means to the world. The most powerful woman in the world with no constraints and allegiance to a nation. Even known it has been more than a hundred years, no government has dared try to stop her or question her since Wonder Woman kept her activities quiet. However, in a post 9/11 world, some governments of the world have considered establishing a rule book for her and other superheroes inspired by her actions. One country in particular, the United States of America, recently suggested forming a committee to study Wonder Woman and her actions throughout her time on Earth.
To answer the "Superhero Question."
And to everyone else in the world, Wonder Woman is a topic of discussion from dinner tables to universities; however, many people view her as a force of good.
She is considered to be the first superhero in history given stories of heroic actions during the First World War appeared in newspapers. And if it wasn't enough, the earliest photograph of Wonder Woman was taken after she saved the village of Nauroy from being destroyed with Steve Trevor and his squad. And as the result, dozens of media properties were made about Wonder Woman and her actions throughout both World Wars and beyond. To this day, media properties are still being made since it's her main source of income.

Diana Prince came awake in the dark and nearly got out of her bed as if she was already in a battle. Then, she realized that she was sleeping in a luxurious hotel room instead of the battlefield. Her dreams felt so real as if she was reliving those moments. But, it became difficult to tell which war she dreamt about. Each of the wars that Diana fought in were almost identical besides its locations and reasons why it began. All of them caused so much suffering and loss regardless of justified cause. She could have listened to her husband and lived a peaceful life after fighting in both world wars.
But, the world needed Wonder Woman.
And for seventy-four years, she started a new battle against the development of nuclear weaponry and the rising military-industrial complex. With help from her husband and the squad, the World Veterans Federation was founded with the goals of promoting world peace and protecting veterans. But it still wasn't enough. The greatest superpowers of the world during the Cold War nearly destroyed the world a few times. She wanted to do something before man did something incredibly stupid like nuking the entire world. However, her husband wanted to live his remaining years in peace and quiet with the woman she loved. So, she did.
Diana's train of thought was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Diana, are you awake?" a familiar voice was heard on the other side.
She got out of her bed and went over to the wardrobe room in order to change into her dress. Today was the day where she planned on giving a speech at the twenty-ninth general assembly of the WVF. Once she was done with the dress, she told the person to come on in while she walked to the bathroom to do clear up a little. Etta Candy, Diana's personal security, walked into the room with a little grin on her face. Despite being the cold hearted badass of the group, she loved to travel around the world principally Paris. "Are you ready for the debrief, madam?" Candy asked Diana while scanning the bedroom.
"Everyone's already here?" Diana asked confusedly while she was picking out the earrings.
"Of course, madam. It is an important day after all." Etta answered with a smile on her face before she straighten up when Diana came out. She looked beautiful as always, she thought with her eyes looking at the dress. She responded with a cough and said, "It looks good."
Before Diana could thank her security chief, she saw that her secretary had been staying there with her arms crossed and a grin on her face. Alana Dominguez was pretty damn good at her job given she was made responsible for most of the administrative work and decisions. Dominguez had served in the US military before going to school and getting her associate's degree a few years ago. Diana saw potential and hired her to be the new secretary. "Told you that dress looked good on you." Dominguez remarked.
"Well, good thing that I listened to you." Diana gave her a light-hearted smile before walking out of the room with Candy and Dominguez following behind. She knew that it was the same procedure year after year with a few minor changes here and there. Until she found that her chief legal officer, Rachel Keast, had the entire conference room to herself. Without any warning, Diana dismissed both Dominguez and Candy before walking into the room. She knew that something serious was going to happen if Keast was in Paris instead of the United States. "It will be only a few." Diana gave a forced smile before closing the door on them.
Then, she turned and looked at Keast trying to find the right words to say.

"We are the motherfucking Guardians of the Galaxy.
And we will defend every single inch of it from you, Grimace."
And we will defend every single inch of it from you, Grimace."
Guardians of the Galaxy are a group of misfit outlaws that protect the galaxy, and also the universe, from all threats. Originally, all of them, with the exception of Mantis, met in prison and teamed up in order to retrieve a prized orb. Later, it was revealed that the orb contained the Power Stone, one of seven infinity stones scattered throughout the universe. Gamora planned on taking the orb away from her father, Thanos, so he couldn't complete his "mission." However, Peter Quill had managed to steal it and wanted to sell it for profit. Then, Groot and Rocket arrived to capture Quill, who had a fairly large bounty on his head from Ravagers and its leader, Yondu.
And it was how all of them met.
After breaking out of jail and learning about the infinity stones, Gamora suggested handing it over to Nova Corps for protection while the others still wanted to sell it. Before they could have fought on the matter, Ronan the Accuser managed to take the orb by force and planned on using on the planet of Xandar. With the help of the Nova Corp and the Ravagers, Ronan was stopped and the orb was retrieved and placed in the hands of Nova Corp. It was five years ago. Since there, the Guardians had saved countless lives and encountered hundreds of aliens, including Mantis, who was found in a tomb and eventually became the latest member to join.
During that time, they have stopped the Children of Thanos for achieving their goal several times. Their last encounter with them occurred a few months ago, where the Mad Titan himself showed up for the first time to deliver a message. He said that he won't stop until he has the seven infinity stones to achieve his goal of "saving the universe for its self." Then, he proceeded to easily defeat the Guardians, leaving them to reflect his message. It only motivated (most of) them to stand against the Mad Titan.
With their wounds healed and pride recovered, Gamora managed to pinpoint a planet of importance where the remaining six stones could be. It was a planet that Quill swore to never visit for personal reasons. Earth.

I have done Guardians of the Galaxy before once upon a time with a Year-One approach to it. However, I want to write an experienced Guardians that have learned to deal with each other and at least respect each other. Normally, they would be out in space kicking alien ass and fighting for the galaxy. But, I want them on Earth, so I have more peeps interact with. Plus, space can get pretty boring, especially if you are by yourself. In order to make it reasonable as to why the Guardians would be on Earth, I have them hunting for the six remaining Infinity Stones. It allows the GMs a reason to introduce Thanos to Earth if they have any plans with him.
And it gives me stuff to write about Peter Quill and the fact that he's returning to a completely different Earth. Of course, I can write the other Guardians' reactions to the planet and its people.

Paris, France
Present
Issue #1.03
๐ช๐ข๐ก๐๐๐ฅ ๐ช๐ข๐ ๐๐ก
In a matter of seconds, Wonder Woman was flying above the streets of Paris and tried her best to listen for police sirens. Unfortunately, the traffic below caused too much noise for her to concentrate. She looked at the cars beneath her and remembered how these streets were once filled with people. There were a few automobiles in existence, but it wasn't as popular compared to the present. The city had survived two World Wars, countless regional conflicts, revolutions, and terror attacks. It was a testament to mankind's ability to adapt during dark periods in their history. And it was incredible to watch them change within a century.
Wonder Woman kept on flying while looking for the getaway vehicle. Eventually, she found the white getaway van on Avenue de New York with two police cars behind it. On street level, a police officer requested backup when one of the suspects opened fire. They managed to damage one of the tires, which caused the officer to lose control of his car. It was heading for some pedestrians before Wonder Woman managed to stop it was her hands. "Tell them to get to a safe distance. I will handle this." She said to the officer before taking off for the suspects. The other police car started to slow down as Wonder Woman flew pass it which caught the officers off guard.
Andre Le Blanc immediately saw Wonder Woman on the side mirror and started to panic. "Oh shit! Wonder Woman's behind us!" he shouted in a strong French accent before firing two shots from his pistol.
"You are getting on my fucking nerves, frenchie." Angelo Bend growled at his 'partner' before taking a sharp right turn on Rue du Ranelagh. "Just shut up and distract her."
"Branleur." Le Blanc mumbled to himself while he fired two shots out of the window in the hopes that one of them hit Wonder Woman. It was pointless to hope that, but it was better than doing nothing. Her bracelets blocked the bullets before the suspect had to reload and she flew under the van. When he returned to fire once more, he realized that she was gone and knew that they were caught. She lifted the van with ease and started to carry it towards a nearby square. Both men saw people below backing away while cheering on Wonder Woman. Le Blanc turned to Bend and said in anger, "I told that we should have done this in the night so tha-"
Bend slapped Le Blanc hard enough and said in a rage, "Shut the fuck up for one fucking second. I have a plan. So, be quiet and follow my lead."
Wonder Woman carefully approached the back of the van and torn open the door, revealing bags of money and a bomb. She looked at the people and told them to run away from the square, which caused a panic. With the people leaving, Bend came out of the van with nothing but the detonator and his Angler. Le Blanc was the last person out and decided to watch from a safe distance. "Wonder Woman, nice of you to show up unannounced," Bend said irritated about her presence while he held the detonator tightly in his hand. "It is annoying that you forced my hand and made me do this. What a shame."
"It's over for the both of you. Give up now before it's too late." Wonder Woman tried to bargain with them even if it was foolish.
"Bold of you to make that demand, lady." Bend dismissed her deal and showed off the detonator once more. "But I am the only one that should be making a deal. Leave us alone while we are making our grand escape or get everyone in this park killed over some stolen money. And yes, it's my only offer. So, what will it be?"
Before Wonder Woman could respond with her answer, Le Blanc walked beside Bend and pulled out his pistol. While Bend was asking what his partner was doing, three shots rang out in quick succession. She watched as the Angle Man fell to the ground with the Angler and the detonator landing beside him. He had been shot on the spot. Meanwhile, Le Blanc calmly stepped over the wounded man and grabbed both devices. He felt his partner grabbing his leg and cried out in pain and anger, "Why did you fucking shot me?!"
"Because you were going to ruin everything... and you're an asshole." Le Blanc explained his reason while picking up both the Angler and the detonator. Suddenly, it started to get windy enough that bench and trash bins fell over. The leaves of the nearby trees flew towards the van and Le Blanc spinning around them. Wonder Woman made her way towards him in the hopes of capturing him before he could get away. However, there was a powerful blast enough to knock her off of her feet. After a few more seconds, the leaves fell to the ground and revealed that both the van and Le Blanc vanished.
The wind calmed down shortly after leaving behind a stunned Wonder Woman. In the background, Bend started to hit the ground like an angry child and cursing Le Blanc. Despite the three gunshot wounds, he was going to be alright. As for his days as Angle Man, that was a whole different story. Under his breath, he mumbled something that caught Wonder Woman's interest. She grabbed her Lasso of Hestia, but everybody knew it as the Lasso of Truth. It was wrapped around his neck and she asked him to repeat his last sentence. There was silence.
"The Lasso of Hestia compels you."
"'I can't believe he used the wish.'" Bend answered without any hesitation while the lasso was glowing. He realized what he had said and cursed her loud enough. "Fuck you bitch."
Wonder Woman pulled the lasso harder and asked another question, "What do you mean that he used the 'wish?'"
He tried to resist the lasso but it proved to be useless in the end. "Our client sent us a letter with the locations of several banks in the areas. And at the end of the letter, they mentioned using a wish in the case of an emergency. We didn't believe him at first. Thought that they were joking around... until now."
Wonder Woman kept on flying while looking for the getaway vehicle. Eventually, she found the white getaway van on Avenue de New York with two police cars behind it. On street level, a police officer requested backup when one of the suspects opened fire. They managed to damage one of the tires, which caused the officer to lose control of his car. It was heading for some pedestrians before Wonder Woman managed to stop it was her hands. "Tell them to get to a safe distance. I will handle this." She said to the officer before taking off for the suspects. The other police car started to slow down as Wonder Woman flew pass it which caught the officers off guard.
Andre Le Blanc immediately saw Wonder Woman on the side mirror and started to panic. "Oh shit! Wonder Woman's behind us!" he shouted in a strong French accent before firing two shots from his pistol.
"You are getting on my fucking nerves, frenchie." Angelo Bend growled at his 'partner' before taking a sharp right turn on Rue du Ranelagh. "Just shut up and distract her."
"Branleur." Le Blanc mumbled to himself while he fired two shots out of the window in the hopes that one of them hit Wonder Woman. It was pointless to hope that, but it was better than doing nothing. Her bracelets blocked the bullets before the suspect had to reload and she flew under the van. When he returned to fire once more, he realized that she was gone and knew that they were caught. She lifted the van with ease and started to carry it towards a nearby square. Both men saw people below backing away while cheering on Wonder Woman. Le Blanc turned to Bend and said in anger, "I told that we should have done this in the night so tha-"
Bend slapped Le Blanc hard enough and said in a rage, "Shut the fuck up for one fucking second. I have a plan. So, be quiet and follow my lead."
Wonder Woman carefully approached the back of the van and torn open the door, revealing bags of money and a bomb. She looked at the people and told them to run away from the square, which caused a panic. With the people leaving, Bend came out of the van with nothing but the detonator and his Angler. Le Blanc was the last person out and decided to watch from a safe distance. "Wonder Woman, nice of you to show up unannounced," Bend said irritated about her presence while he held the detonator tightly in his hand. "It is annoying that you forced my hand and made me do this. What a shame."
"It's over for the both of you. Give up now before it's too late." Wonder Woman tried to bargain with them even if it was foolish.
"Bold of you to make that demand, lady." Bend dismissed her deal and showed off the detonator once more. "But I am the only one that should be making a deal. Leave us alone while we are making our grand escape or get everyone in this park killed over some stolen money. And yes, it's my only offer. So, what will it be?"
Before Wonder Woman could respond with her answer, Le Blanc walked beside Bend and pulled out his pistol. While Bend was asking what his partner was doing, three shots rang out in quick succession. She watched as the Angle Man fell to the ground with the Angler and the detonator landing beside him. He had been shot on the spot. Meanwhile, Le Blanc calmly stepped over the wounded man and grabbed both devices. He felt his partner grabbing his leg and cried out in pain and anger, "Why did you fucking shot me?!"
"Because you were going to ruin everything... and you're an asshole." Le Blanc explained his reason while picking up both the Angler and the detonator. Suddenly, it started to get windy enough that bench and trash bins fell over. The leaves of the nearby trees flew towards the van and Le Blanc spinning around them. Wonder Woman made her way towards him in the hopes of capturing him before he could get away. However, there was a powerful blast enough to knock her off of her feet. After a few more seconds, the leaves fell to the ground and revealed that both the van and Le Blanc vanished.
The wind calmed down shortly after leaving behind a stunned Wonder Woman. In the background, Bend started to hit the ground like an angry child and cursing Le Blanc. Despite the three gunshot wounds, he was going to be alright. As for his days as Angle Man, that was a whole different story. Under his breath, he mumbled something that caught Wonder Woman's interest. She grabbed her Lasso of Hestia, but everybody knew it as the Lasso of Truth. It was wrapped around his neck and she asked him to repeat his last sentence. There was silence.
"The Lasso of Hestia compels you."
"'I can't believe he used the wish.'" Bend answered without any hesitation while the lasso was glowing. He realized what he had said and cursed her loud enough. "Fuck you bitch."
Wonder Woman pulled the lasso harder and asked another question, "What do you mean that he used the 'wish?'"
He tried to resist the lasso but it proved to be useless in the end. "Our client sent us a letter with the locations of several banks in the areas. And at the end of the letter, they mentioned using a wish in the case of an emergency. We didn't believe him at first. Thought that they were joking around... until now."
Andre Le Blanc noticed that his wish actually worked and that he was safe from Wonder Woman. He also saw that the van was beside him along with the money and bomb. Now, the problem was that he had no idea where he was at the moment. It was too dark to notice anything besides the quiet wind. He knew that he had to be on the other side of the world. Then, he started to think that he made a terrible mistake and tried to wish to leave this area but nothing happened. Before he could completely panic, he saw that a small table appeared in front of him with a note. There was a pause to pick it up; yet, he knew that he had to. He opened it up and read it to himself:
Unlike the first time, Le Blanc was more open to the idea that this "Aladdin" was serious. But, he still thought of him as a crazy metahuman. Suddenly, a bag fell from the sky and landed in front of him. He opened it up and found it filled with cash and jewelry. And then the white door appeared behind him. It was incredible and frightful at the same time. Hell, he thought of running for the door until he remembered one of the sentences from the note. I sense that you want fortune that will last forever. It was the main reason why he became a thief in the first place. To make sure that he never had to live in poetry ever again. With that in mind, he placed down the note and breathed before yelling out the name.
"Aladdin!"
Congratulations!
You have complete my contract. Now, your payment will arrive shortly. But, I sense that you want fortune that will last forever. I saw what you did to your "partner" and it showed me that you are capable of making the hard decisions. Bend was foolish and an idiot, but you aren't him. You are smarter than he could ever be. Now, you have to make another choice. Join my small group or leave. Nothing will happen to you if you leave with the payment. Just walk and open the white door. Of course, you would return to petty thievery and stealing paintings across Europe once more. And still not make enough to live a peaceful life. If you want to achieve greatness, then call me out.
Call my name out loud for the heavens to hear! Call out Aladdin!
