Apocalypse

New world.
New rules.
New threat.

The dawning of the twenty-first century was when everything changed. There were even worse things than terrorists themselves. For the first time, the supernatural creatures that hid in the shadows in fear of humans finally came to life and decided to take the world back. In the year 2012, New York was hit with a nuclear explosion, which wiped out millions of innocent people. Every country in the world divided its land into sectors. Identification cards had to be present all the time, the police were given special power over civilians and nothing was ever the same again ...

Now one year later, a new organisation has come together as the new solution to save the world. Only known as The Avengers, this group is solely responsible for local, national and worldwide threats. They specialise in dealing with the supernatural. But there are traitors in the world that will want to stop The Avengers. Saving the world will not be an easy task in itself, it will require one step at a time to finally work. Question is, will the world be saved? Or is it beyond reparation?

"Ceasefire!" yelled Faith Crest to the soldiers that were gathered around a small block of flats in the middle of a deserted estate. Well, it wasn't exactly deserted yet. The soldiers stopped firing and she concentrated hard on finding the creature that they were hunting. It was a black shadowy figure that relied on their shadows to remain as hidden for as much time as possible. I'll go in alone, she projected her thoughts to the unit general, one who knew that she was part supernatural. Keep the men here, unless I say so. Do you understand? He nodded in her direction. Oh, and one more thing. If my team gets here, send them in after me, but tell them to approach with caution. With that, she went inside the block of flats alone.

Her gun was in her holster, which was attached to her jeans belt, but she rarely had to use that, anyway. Faith crept through the door quietly and telekinetically closed it. Once that was done, she floated in the air because she didn't want to use the stairs. It would be bad and although she didn't use her ability of flight very much, it always seemed to come in handy when she needed to be in stealth mode. The shadow hissed, but now it was louder. It only meant that she was getting closer and closer. Faith descended upon the ground when she went up the first flight of stairs and was careful to sneak through to the corridor. Kicking down the door, where she sensed the shadow, she raised her gun and it tackled down to the floor immediately.

Filden charged along the main road, running at 100 miles per hour, heading for where he was told to meet with the rest of The Avengers, a flat in the middle of an empty estate.

"Urgh...Trust me not to be there when everyone else is leaving..." Filden sighed to himself,

Three seconds after sighing, Filden noticed the flats ahead of him.

"Ah...Fantastic," Filden smirked,

Filden then speeded up slightly, and then made it to the front of the flats. He stopped, and then brushed himself down. The soldiers eyes widened as Filden suddenly appeared. A soldier then walked up to Filden from behind and patted his shoulder to get his attention...

"Umm...sir...?" The soldier stuttered,
"..Hmm?" Filden replied, turning his head around, eyes half clossed, and still brushing himself down,
"Crimson went inside a moment ago...she asked us to tell her back-up that she's gone on ahead..." The soldier explained,
"What!?" Filden shouted as he turned his whole body towards the soldier, grabbing the soldier's arms with both hands, whilst Filden's eye widened, "Why did ya stop her! Blimey! She's so impatient!"

Filden then let go off the soldier and ran into the building, running at 50 miles per hour, whilst activating his invisibility.

Running up the stairs steven began talking into his communicator "Guy's, shooter here, nearly on the fourth floor of the opposing building, gimmie a hint where this thing is" as Steven kicked open a door he pointed his Beretta into the room, he searched the flat quickly and then set up his rifle at a window that he could see the entire building that the rest of the team had gone into as he uncapped his scope's covers he looked through to see if he could find Crimson and stealth, the latter would be impossible to find with out his heat vision scope.

"shooter in position, someone talk to me" Stephen spoke through his communicator, as he searched the windows of the building in hope that he could find where his team mates were, he pulled a bullet out of his belt and loaded the Rifle "Crimson, give me a sign of this thing and I'll put it out for good"

August 21, 2008, 7:03 PM

Choking and attempting to fight off the shadow, she kicked it out of the way and coughed immediately, as she rolled to her side. "Bastard," she muttered and rose back on to her feet to face it. "You only came after me because you can sense what I am, right?" The shadow swayed in the air laughing darkly, as it watched Faith raise her gun again. "Ohhh yeah, that's right! Laugh while you're dying. I was finished playing these games five years ago!" She heard Stephen in the communicator. "Rifle at the ready, huh?" she spoke into her own earpiece. "I got the damn thing here with me ..." It lunged at her, but she dived to the left. "And it looks a lot stronger than the last one we had in Birmingham, I'll tell you now."

Faith shot at the creature, but it rose again, only to become bigger. There's something I didn't see coming, she thought. "Shooter, I'll try getting into the air with it. All you need to is aim and blast the creature to smithereens. Just DON'T threaten to shoot Stealth again or else I'll bore you to death with that health and safety lecture." She then got into contact with Filden. "Hey, Stealth. I need you to get to the first floor. I assume you're already in these block of flats? You need to cover me. Shooter's going in for the kill already and I don't think I can hold this shadow down for much longer." The shadow grabbed her by the throat when she was off her guard and laughed darkly. It was beginning to absorb her energy.

BANG!! the shadow instantly dropped Faith as a part of it flew off Shooter reloaded his rifle with a smile on his face "Crimson, you okay, couldn't get its head so i went for it's ankle, get it closer to the window if possible" Stephen said into his ear piece, Stephen the picked up his rifle and moved a window across to his left to get a better view of Crimson and the beast, that was still standing "Damn, this one is stronger than the one from Birmingham" Stephen though to himself as he targeted the Shadow again

August 21, 2008, 7:22 PM

Filden was in one of the rooms in the first floor, when he heard Faith trying to get through to him, he then put his index and middle finger of his right hand on the ear piece in his right ear.

"Hey, Stealth. I need you to get to the first floor. I assume you're already in these block of flats? You need to cover me. Shooter's going in for the kill already and I don't think I can hold this shadow down for much longer." Faith instructed Filden,
"Right!" Filden answered...

But he then started hearing something...it sounded like someone being strangled...

"Oh Shit! Crimson!" Filden shouted.

Filden then heard a gunshoot...Filden eye's widened, he then began searching for Faith on the floor...and with his speed, it was not much of a challenge at all. He eventually found her as she was being having her energy absorbed, though it had just been shot by Stephen...

"Dammit!" Filden panicked.

He then quickly quickly got out two 9mm pistols he had placed in the inside pockets of his jacket, and began aiming at the shadow, and fired 2 rounds of bullets from each gun whilst trying to avoid Faith.

August 21, 2008, 8:05 PM

"Dammit" Stephen announced as he jumped to his feet, swung his rifle over his shoulder and pulled his beretta out of it's holster, he raised his left hand to his com and began speaking "This is Shooter, i have lost my shot moving to a different vantage point, bear with me" he then ran out of the room he was in and headed down to the first floor.

he ran down the corridor to a room that would have a view, he kicked the door open and the man inside jumped to his feet and grabbed a shotgun from next to his coach "Freeze" Shooter shouted as he pointed his Beretta at the man "Sir I am a member of the Avengers, i need to use one of your windows" the man lowered his shotgun "you got ID?" shooter reached into his back pocket and puled out his ID card, he fashed it at the man who nodded and sat back down to watch TV.

Shooter got to the window and set his Rifle back up "Shooter in position" he announced through the Com, "Target acquired" he continued as he found the Window they were in BANG...RELOAD....BANG....RELOAD....BANG all three shots hit the shadow in the torso, from the angle they were nowhere near Crimson or Stealth. Yet still the creature wasn't going down

August 21, 2008, 8:13 PM

The shadow stopped absorbing Faith's energy as soon as it was shot in the ankle. She rolled on to her side feeling drained, but was still able to get to her feet, although she needed the support of the wall. However, she fell again barely a moment later. Crap, she thought, trying to shake off the dizziness she was experiencing right now. She noticed Filden shooting the monster, so she raised her hand and a psionic barrier appeared, protecting her from any harm that would dare try to come in her way. "I'll be fine for now," she said in her earpiece. The shadow was shot a further three times and Faith knew it was clinging on to dear life so hard. She didn't pity it, though. No way would she ever pity the enemy!

Only moments later did the psionic barrier fade. Faith was tired, especially since the shadow had drained her energy. Maybe that was why it was able to continue. Bastard thinks that it can take my energy away? Think again, she thought. And with every ounce of strength within her body, Faith raised her hand and the shadow floated into the air, helpless and unable to move. "Shooter, this is Crimson," she said into her earpiece. "Shoot the damn thing now before it really gets pissed off." She then turned to Filden. "Lower your guns, Stealth. Just make sure that it doesn't pull any goddamn tricks. I don't want to clean up the mess we had in Birmingham again." She noticed the shadow struggling to move, but she had it frozen for now in mid air.

August 21, 2008, 8:47 PM

"Right!" Filden complied to Faith's wishes, and lowered his guns to his thigh level.

Filden waited for Stephen to fire his rifle...and then Filden began wondering..."These two ain't gonna let Birmingham go are they...? It must be eating them up inside...well...can't blame them, flaming well is eating me up inside that's for sure..."

Filden then closed his eyes and sighed..."Crimson...Are there any more shadows in these flats...?"
