Gene System

Blake is a young man who has had to suffer through devastation over and over again losing more than just an arm. With no power of his own he could barely stand a chance against others or even be deemed useful by the military. All he can do is accept his sister's help bitterly knowing he can't return it to the same effect. After a series of events a meeting with near death shocks him to his very core changing his life forever. Awakening a hidden element buried deep within his genetic code. The Gene System, an advanced complex genetic technology used to expand and improve the overall potential and direction of evolution for the user's genetic code naturally mapping out and directing where the user should go with the growth they obtain. Not much else is known, only that few on every planet are given one through unknown means. The current state of the world is racked with unbridled chaos as the military fruitless attempts to stop the atrocities committed by the organisation known as the Gene hunters. Seeking to steal and splice any genetic data they can get their hands on by whatever psychotic means whether it be dissection, slow harvesting or cloning ethics are not a concern. Hundreds of thousands have been affected by the gene hunters including Blake's family. Some are never seen again, just used as cows for genetic harvesting over and over again until they dried up never to see their families again. Changes have begun to sprout in the background of earth leading to more and more mysterious events occurring, genetic powers becoming stronger, animals becoming mutated and evolving faster than normal generational lines. All the while in the background an unknown force beyond human comprehension lurks just beyond the veil waiting patiently for the time to run out and indulge in his planet level feast devouring all life in sight. Blake will give his all to overcome these brutal circumstances by whatever means. No matter the pain, suffering or loss he will continue to go forward no matter the cost. Failure isn't a devastation but a stepping stone in his larger goal. In his pursuit to build his strength he wont forget where he came from guarding the weak as someone who grew from that. Seeing the lack of care or acknowledgement to the majority viewed as weak in the military disdain makes him step up as the leader needed to change the structure of this world for the better. In the weak there is strength which Blake knows all too well. His reason to go forward is to become the man he wants to be. The only thing that truly terrifies is the idea of letting it all go, giving up and betraying himself and his potential.

Chaos

Before the match had started in the stadium.

"KIARA SLOW DOWN I'M GONNA BE SICK"! Raven says through the constant blurring. Flashing by so much scenery at once slowly overloads her. In an instant her feet find ground as the seating area enters the view.

"Please warn me before you do that next time". Raven says dry heaving.

"My bad, tends to move faster than I think" Kiara's excitement coming out in full, dominating her tone.

"I gathered that" Raven says brushing the formed spit of her mouth.

Red hair finds its way into the corner of their eyes. Flames of excitement dance on the outline of his body.

"Is that Pyre"! Kiara says noticing him first.

"HEY PYRE"! Both of them yell out in unison.

"Are you here to watch Blake too"? Raven says with curiosity.

"Are you kidding, of course I am" Pyre begins to chuckle at the thought of missing this.

"I have no doubt he will win this, so don't worry his flame is already raring to be let loose". Pyre sends her a warm smile.

"I've been waiting for his comeback and today is finally the day". Pyre says a smile breaks through the red of his beard.

"I'm sure he's got this in the bag" Kiara says full faith in her tone.

"Guys I think the match is about to start"! She says jumping up and down in a fizz of orange.

The three of them lock eyes with the hovering projection of the match. The mossy jungle slowly started to take shape. As the projector flicks through all the contestants. Landing on Blake for a brief second.

"Win this Blake". Raven says.

"Today is a very exciting day for everyone marking another step for the future, as we see if any more powerhouses will emerge from the new generation". An image of Atlas is displayed on the projection. Putting his arms behind his back.

"However it's exactly what we've been waiting for, we can finally collect" A smile slowly spreads across his face.

"TIME TO HARVEST"! Atlas's normal expressions are completely shattered by the psychotic smile taking over him. The screen then cuts out of the sky, leaving the contestants.

Immediately all of the matches projections are cut off as Atlas starts to shift and change slowly. His body starts to go out of control as he summons fourth even more power then he should. Cracking and reshaping happens so fast, agony stabbing through him. Until his mouth splits wide open letting loose an otherworldly roar.

*INTRUDERS IN THE STADIUM*

*EVACUATE EVACUATE"

"RAVEN, KIARA GET YOUR HEADS ON STRAIGHT"! Pyre yells out, battle experience taking over his mind.

"Our worst fear has come" He says, punching the seat in his fury. Melting parts of the metals.

"My promise remains, as long as I draw breath I refuse to let anyone harm ANY OF YOU"! Pyre yells out with an adamant tone.

"Again, we have to deal with them again". Kiara says as her legs begin to wobble and shake. The memory of her brush with the hunters previously rings out in her mind with terror. Having more of an effect on her then she thought.

*Slap*

"Kiara you need to snap out of it if we just remain in panic it's even easier for them" Raven says with burning guilt, the past forcing her mind into action.

*EVACUATE EVACUATE*

Student after student falls as more and more gene hunters emerge in the audience. As soon as one falls they disappear nowhere to be seen. Only their blood was left behind. Screams of students slowly dimming with time as they are rounded up.

"OOOOHHH PYREE, Where are you"? A demented tone breaks through the chaos of the stadium.

*CRASH* A figure lands breaking through the seating area. His dull grey eyes seeking their prey. Until they finally find they're prize.

"There you are, Long time no see" The hunter says, stretching his arms without a care in the world. Almost ushering Pyre into a hug.

"KELLY" An all mighty fury emanates from Pyre.

"YOU WOULD SHOW YOUR FACE TO ME EVEN NOW" Pyres flames erupt. Blazing forth bringing a seething inferno.

"YOU ABOMINATION" Pyre says as his hair slowly curls in from the intense heat coming off him.

*TUT TUT*

"Such harsh words for an old friend. How could you say that Pyre? It breaks my heart". Kelly mocks him.

''My girls, you sick bastard, you continue to show yourself to me again and again even after all you've done". His seething anger starts to grasp him spiralling his sanity outward.

''I'll never forget nor will i forgive" His ferocity starts to take over making him go berserk.

The memory of his children flood into his mind. As his flames start to burst with black. In the depths of his mind chaotic fire starts to take shape into two small figures through the inferno of his mind.

"Daddy, don't worry about us right now". Soft warm voices leave two red headed little girls.

"There are others who need you now". They beam with bright smiles in unison.

Clarity comes forward through his swaying frenzy. Biting down his anger. Pyre sharpens his focus as the real goal at hand illuminates itself before him.

"Raven, Kiara"! Pyre yells out.

"Watch closely". As he says this, his bright red flames start to darken. Rushing and flaring with hunger. Slowly black starts to permeate the overall red. Leaving only an outline of red containing the hunger of the black flames.

"There are times where you will suffer. Suffer more than you ever thought possible. But that is when true growth can happen. Only if you persevere" His flames start to spread out covering his whole body.

"You will understand yourself deeper and advance your own power". Pyre says as he ignites entirely.

"Through this nothing can touch you". He says, Abyssal black flames finally finish their spread covering the whole surface of his body. A hexagonal red pattern breaks through it shining in unison with the red outline. His eyes igniting through the black flames.

"Aww Pyre, such a warm welcome just for me". Dull blonde hair is brushed out of his face as he stares at Pyre with hunger.

"Time to complete the set old friend". Kelly says gripping at two sharpened hand axes. A red core embedded in each of them.

"Once I'm done with you Kelly ill raze you all to the ground".

"I refuse to let you harm any of the students. So ill end what I should've years ago". Pyre says clenching his hand into a fist more and more black fire is summoned forth.
