[The Illusive Man]

Prologue:

The Year is 2114....The world has changed.... much of the every day things we took for granted no longer exist, the rain forests have been cut down and most species of animals no longer exist....The world is now a vast metropolis filled with vast sky-scrapers and roads as far as the eye can see, due to the toxic nature of the planets atmosphere, the world is now incased inside a giant glass dome. Corporations are now the ruling powers of the worlds finances and policies and rule over the day to day lives of Earths people with an Iron fist...

Its been over 100 years since civilisation had seen any other form of life walking the face of the planet other than that of humans....Fear is the controlling currency of the world and people that break the rules disapear never to be seen again.....

There are some however that still dare to dream, those that still defy the rules no matter the cost, those that fight for the basic rights and liberties that were once so common place in society, this is the story of but one of these freedom fighters.... known only to the authorities as "The Circuit Breaker", She is Alyna Branswul...


Chapter 1: An Interesting Discovery.

"Get that gear out of here, the cops will be here any second" A large man wearing a simple grey sleeveless t-shirt and baggy jeans barked at a small group of men and women who were carrying large crates out of a warehouse in the backstreets of a quiet part of a moon-light basked market district...As he noticed the men and women struggling with a particulary heavy container, he leaves his post to assist with carrying it....

"Early Christmas shopping ladies and gentlemen?" A stern but gentle voice stated...The men and women carrying the crate dropped it to the ground with a crash, and turned around to see a figure standing in the dark wearing what seemed to be a long trenchcoat...."So what, is it any of your business" The large man replies angrily...

The figure steps towards the group from out of the shadows, standing at only 5ft 4 many of the group began to laugh, "What does a girl like you intend to do to us, go back to bugging old geezers for a couple of creds" The large man states clearly amused....

The woman whom they were laughing at was wearing a long brown trenchcoat, open at the front, but still hugged to her shapely figure, She wore a black t-shirt and grey combat trousers with knee high black military boots and fingerless long gloves that covered the cuffs of her coat sleeves, She had brown eyes with a circle of green outlining them and long brunette hair that she wore down that flicked with the artifical winds...

She smiled at the group as they laughed at her,then quickly reached behind her back and pulled out a laser pistol that was tucked in her trousers behind her back..."Id take that back if I were you" She replied with a hint of cockiness as she pointed the high powered pistol at the Large man...

"Yea you wont shoot, your too much of a girly-girl to shoot" replied the Large man with confidence as he waved his arm at the others in his group to come and assist him, they left the crate where it was and gathered round the Large man...."Besides even if you did, you know you wouldnt be able to take out all of us with that damn thing, the recharge is too long" States the large man, growing bolder by the second...

"Well lets find out shall we" The woman states as she shifts her aim onto one of the Large mans now fully gathered group, pulls the trigger and shoots her target, putting a large laser hole through there chest, they drop to the ground dead...

The group witnessing the death, all charge at the woman...She flips the pistol over to hold it by its muzzle and adopts a combat stance with the pistol held above her head, She throws her leg out and kicks the first person to close in on her in the chest knocking them to the floor and follows through with a spinning club swing with the pistol on the next...

The others hold back with a slight amount of reluctancy but soon rush in as well flailing punches and kicks wildly at her, She grabs the nearest ones arm and uses it as leverage to throw herself round to round kick the opposite member, bringing her behind the ones arms she's holdings back as she twists there arm around so there palm is facing upwards and clubs downwards with the pistol onto the elbow, breaking there arm...

The Large man roars and charges towards her, She jumps upwards and lands on his shoulders and springboards backwards spinning the pistol so the grip is back in her hand, She lands on one knee and takes aim....

The Large man stops in his tracks "Who the hell are you, an undercover cop?" He yells at her visibly frustrated as he stamps his feet in rage, the woman smirks and replies "Guess again, and the names Alyna, but you can call me Breaker and dont you forget it" as she pulls the trigger blasting a laser through the large mans head, his body crashes to the floor lifelessly...

The other members of the group begin to stir, and get up slowly off the floor "Get your butts outta here and dont come back or else" She yells at them, as they all limp away mumbling to themselves.

Alyna holsters the pistol behind her back again and walks towards the large crate..."So this is it" she states to herself as she looks over the large crate while reaching into the inside of her coat and pulls out a crowbar...taking one corner of the crate she places the crowbar into a small opening and pulls, taking the panel off revealing the contents. She looks inside...."So this is the prototype technology that the Mitsaki Corporation are intending to showcase tomorrow to outfit there elite cops with" She exclaims and she notices a grey breastplate inscribed with several wierd markings and circuitry fusings, as well as a staff made entirely out of an extremely light-weight but highly resistant titanium alloy, etched with markings and...the most interesting find....a particulary wierd looking knucklebrace, with a large circular wristband, that seems to be too wide to sit properly on any normal wrist, with the knuckle brace forming a circular plate where the palm would be...

She Quickly takes the items along with a couple of blueprints detailing the items, and puts on the chestplate, pockets the knuckle brace and blueprints and keeps the staff in hand, she looks around to make sure that noone is around and quickly makes her escape climbing up a drainpipe and onto the roof-tops of the small market district.....

Chapter 2: Dark days, Darker ideals.

Of all the ruling companies of the world, The Mitsaki corporation was probably one of the most prominent, and also the most highly feared....many people had lost there lives in the early years of the corporations rise to power, if people did not agree with there ideals or ways of thinking they were "taken care of"....many children were left without parents and forced to grow up alone, fending off the harsh day to day life of the sprawling and tainted metropolis that all humankind have come to call "home".

Dominating the skyline of this vast metropolis is the "Triangle Towers"....The "Triangle Towers" are 3 skyscrapers built side by side, with the middle tower being the largest. These three towers are home to the Mitsaki corporation, whom currently control 70% of the police, army and shared government.

The Halls inside the building are all decorated with traditional japanese lanterns and red carpetting, everything is in place as if a hundred different gurus were consulted.....on the lower floors everything was open to the public, everything on the top floors of the left and right tower and every room in the middle tower however was private access only, the highest floors of the middle tower were only accessable by the board members of the Mitsaki corporation and there CEO and chairman Honzu Mitsaki....

Honzu, is a small man, sporting features of a wisened sage...this merely acts as a deception for the true heart of the man is as black as the dead of night and his lust for power is unsatiable.....he wont be happy until he controls the entire planet and all opposers are crushed under his mightly corporate heel.

Honzu is also a very intelligent man despite his megolomania, he never travels alone....ten of the best officers escort him wherever he goes, these are known as the "Highguard Elite" and serve Honzu unquestioningly, if he was to demand they take there own lives....they would do so without a word, the Highguard Elite are a group of officers that have been trained in the arts of warfare from a young age and are highly adept, loyal and extremely deadly....to witness a Highguard Elite away from there master usually means death....a long agonising one at that, The Highguard Elite are well known to practice in sadistic ritual arts and have perfected the ancient art of chinese torture and will spend days torturing and individual until there very soul gives in to the immense pain.....the record anyone has lasted through this torture was two weeks, fives days, fifteen hours, forty minutes and thirty six seconds....a fate noone would ever wish to recieve!

The Mitsaki corporation are currently locked in a battle for supremecy with the Huyt Foundation, the last of the companies in the world that is holding the Mitsaki corporation from total control, Although if either were to win...the people of earth would live out a life of constant fear as both are equally ruthless and uncaring in a world were greed and fear are the most powerful currencies and power only goes to those that command fear itself.

High in the Mitsaki coporations middle tower, a meeting is taking place between Honzu and his board, discussing there next move against the Huyt Foundation....

"But sir, are you sure its wise to mass produce a prototype we havent even tested and outfit our Highguard elite with them?" A well dressed middle aged man sporting a small scare under his left eye states...

"YES, what choice do we have, we nedd to get the prototype Alpha Zero One in production and outfitted as soon as possible before the Huyt bastards catch on to our little plan and spring a counter attack!" Wonzu barks angrily as he slams his fist down on the large table where his board of directors are seated.

"I beg your forgiveness sir, but if we could just have a little more time to study the prototype, I'm not even sure if the A.I is fully operational yet" the middle age man replies, clearly shaken by Honzu's outburst.

"You Dare to question me?....If it wasnt for me you would even be here...It was my idea to build the dome...It was my idea to create this haven for the people of earth to live in and you DARE question my judgement....we will see about that!" Honzu snaps back, and waves his right arm to signal the go ahead to the Highguard Elite stood on his right, The Highguard was dressed completely in Black clothing with a black-tinted steel breastplate marked with the insignia of the Mitsaki corporation, they also wore a black mask with a white visor covering there eyes....only the identities of such individuals were known by Honzu and Honzu alone as he hand picked them from a group of many, the rest went on to serve to corporation in other ways, becoming warriors, soldiers and officers upholding the twisted law of the corporations...The Highguard moved swiftly and grabbed the middle aged man from his seat who attempt to struggle.....The Highguard, unsheath its katana with its right hand and took a quick swing and cut off the mans right hand before dragging him out of the board room to his inevitable and bleak future....The chinese Torture....

"No...please NOOOOOO!" The man screamed as was dragged from the office and out of view, his hand had been left in a pool of blood on the table.

Honzu moved towards the hand and pick it up with his right hand and lifted it up.

"If anyone else agrees with him, raise your hands now so I can cut them off myself you tretorous bastards.....noone? good" He throws the hand out of an open window and turns to face the remaining members of the board....all clearly shaken by what they had just witnessed.

"At 9 AM tomorrow the shipment arrives, I want it on the 45th floor of this building and put into production so the first unit will be ready for outfitting and 1.30PM, failure to do so and you will be all taking the same trip that he just took....Now get out of my sight!" Honzu stated and dismissed the other members of the board who quickly flocked out of the office leaving Honzu and the remaining members of his Highguard Elite stood with him.

He turns to face them "By 5pm Tommorrow with this new technology, The
Huyt Foundation will cease to exist....The world will be mine for the ruling Hahahaha!" He states to the Highguard who all bow before there master and place an arm across there chest in unison signifying they are ready to follow there masters current plan without question.

"Tomorrow will be a great day indeed" Honzu states as he and his Highguard all leave the boardroom leaving it in blackened silence....
