An old school building lied in front of me quietly. As it seemed to always have. Kids ran back and forth, out and in from it endlessly. It felt strange, almost unreal. But it was peaceful and felt safe. Though the peaceful feelings didn't last long as the ground started shacking and the sky turned white. I snatched awake. I felt a drop of sweat make its way down my nose. It was pitch black. “Hello?” The sound dulled out into silence. “Is anyone there?” I tried to stand up but hit my head against something and fell back down. I reach out my arm towards the top and the walls. It didn't take long to realize I was trapped in a room of some sort. I panicked and started pounding the walls and scream. The wall suddenly flew open.
I was blinded by the sunshine for a second. The first thing I saw scared me half to death. A huge man was blocking the sun in front of me. “Brute you dumbass! Stop scaring him” A woman voice yelled out. The man suddenly shrunk to the size of normal human “My name is Lars.” The man looked back at me “sorry bout that kiddo” He said before the woman pushed him away. “Hey you ok?” She reached out her arm to help me up. The sun outside was bright. It took me a few moments to adjust to it. “Do you remember your name?” The woman asked me. I looked at her for a second then glanced around. The woman was tall, with short messy black hair and a serious face. The man named Lars was now a very small shirtless blond man with iron gauntlets. There was another guy, wearing a gas mask and claw marks across his left eye and a sword on his back. It seemed all of them were roughed up and dirty. I looked back at the woman and opened my mouth slightly to reply when it hit me. I had no idea where or who I am! The woman seemed to notice on me the answer. “Don't worry. It happens to most of us. Sometimes we regain some memories, like names and such. Some even got they're whole memory back, as well as some who still can't remember a thing.
“I'm Lyn, This is Lars, though we call him brute and Jack” she said and pointed at the masked man who nodded back at her and me. “He doesn't say much when he's focused” Lyn whispered.
“What's going on?” I asked confused and scared. Lyn walked over to the crate. She knocked on it slightly and looked at me “Take a look around” I did and the sight was not comforting. We were undoubtedly in a city, a big one. But the building were old, some even ruined, some were missing big parts of their walls and roofs.
“The story ain't too long. This used to be a hidden island that was populated by some strange company to conduct some sort of experiments. They build this city above the labs for the families of the researchers and to camouflage the labs. One day something went wrong and a gas leaked out into the city. At first nothing happened. But some people started acting strange, some even went berserk and started killing everyone they saw. The island's owner sent in his private army to contain it. He eventually ordered his soldier to exterminate all inhabitants. Those who survived were captured and brought to some new lab away from this island. They're conducting some sort of experiments on those people and then drop the failures of here.”
She knocked on the crate again
“Most people who are dumped here loses their mind within a day. They rapidly mutates into monsters.” Lyn shivered “Those who tried to get off the island for some reason dies instantly about 100 feet of into the water. Most likely something implanted in us. Though no one has ever found it.
The soldiers or the Authority as they call themselves. Come here occasionally to salvage things. Some people fight them, some hide from them.” Lyn nodded towards jack and Lars. “We fight them!” She said proudly.
Lyn looked at me seriously. “Here's the kicker though. Each of us who have been dumped here have our own special power.” She snapped her finger and a blade similar to a scythe reached out of her arm. “I can cause blades to come out of my body, you already saw Lars power and Jack cause anything he sees to explode.” She looked at me again “I wonder what your power is” Lyn said curiously while staring at me.
“I can't believe the Authority is low enough to send kids to this god forsaken island!” Lars said loudly as he made it over to me Lyn. “I mean look at him, he can't be more than 16 years old. ******** assholes is what they are!” Lyn turned to him “Didn't I tell you to keep guard?” she ask.
“Yeah.... But Jack is creeping me out when he's in that mood” Lars replied with whiny voice. “So? Get back to work!” Lyn snapped. Lars hurried back muttering something. “We're in mutant territory “ She explained. We saw a Authority chopper drop this box of. So we hurried here, though we were to late. The rest you know.”
I looked at Lyn. “Why would you want to fight them?” I asked curiously
Lyn sighed “Weapons, food, armor, you name it. Normally if an Authority soldier dies, He and his equipment burns into ash. But sometimes the self destruct malfunction or soldier is knocked out. At those times we get about 20 seconds before a back up starts and destro...” A loud roar interrupted her. Lyn instantly stood up and looked over towards Jack and Lars who were already heading towards us. “Jumpers! Many of them!” Lars told us. Lyn swore loudly. “Lars you protect the kid” Lars nodded and instantly he grew twice and big as he was normally. As I looked back Lyn was covered in blades reaching out of her. “Stay behind me” Lars told me.
After a while a pale human looking figure appeared from a small cloud of dust high in the air. It grabbed the edge of a window and glared at us and roared. More of them started crawling over roof of the same building. As they crawled down the build some jumped out into the air and disappeared, only to reaper on the ground or on cars. Those at ground level charged towards us. At a closer look I noticed their arms were covered in spikes. One of the appeared above Lyn, Who instantly sliced it in half. More of them appeared but were killed off quickly.
“Looks like we overestimated them” Lars yelled gladly as he slammed a jumper into the ground. The building that they were coming from was constantly exploding from Jack's power. Though the Lars cheering ended quickly. He tried to regain balance for second but failed. His large body hit the ground and shrunk bag to normal. Lyn glanced back “LARS!?” Lars didn't reply “DAMMIT!” she yelled. I had fallen backwards in fear as it happened. Some of them had jumped onto Lars from behind and quickly stabbed him to death. “Jack get the kid! We're falling back!” Lyn yelled. Jack grabbed me and threw me over his should while following Lyn
After running for what seemed like an eternity we slowed down. “We lost them” Jack said and looked around. Lyn sunk down to the floor and burrowed her face in her arms “Sorry about Lars” I said. I felt guilty about it, If I had only warned him about it instead of being terrified then he would have been alive. I looked at Lyn “Was Lars your brother?” I asked without knowing why. She looked up at me. “So you're a mind reader” She said with a toneless voice. Tears were running down her face. “Was that those mutants?” I asked. “Yeah” She replied shortly and tried to wipe her tears. She Sighed hard and stood up. Anyone could have seen how hard she were trying to keep herself from crying any more. “Get some sleep. We'll set of early tomorrow.” Lyn said and walked into another room, slamming the door shut behind her.
The next morning Lyn woke me up and told me to get ready. There was some food stored in a small box. Mostly tin cans of fruit or such. But it was better than nothing. I noticed Lyn talking to Jack, But I couldn't make out what they were saying. I tried to do what I had done yesterday and read their mind, Though without any success. Lyn walked up to me and placed a pistol on the table. “Since your power ain't a offensive one you'll need this” I didn't question what she said, It made sense. After a while Lyn walked out from her room and signaled me and Jack to come “lets go” she told Jack. “Where are we going? I asked curiously and somewhat scared” Lyn's face drenched in hatred. “we're gonna avenge Lars” She said coldly as we began walking. I didn't like it but it felt better to follow them rather than being alone out here.
Even now the events that day had in wait for us haunts my dreams.
