Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
The sound of foot step rang out, through the empty hallway, carrying with it a strange solemnity,
Walking down the hallway was a knight in silver armor, his energy cape bellowing behind him, halting he stopped as if lost in thought,
'why does every thing I care about taking from me, did I commit some kind of sin in my past life to have the world punish me so, first took my parents, then it took my anchor, my last shred of humanity, why did Ell have to go, this world been unfair to me ever since I could remember, taking away everything I love, but I won't let it take anymore from me, the supers are the last of what I have left, protecting them is my purpose, and I will do what ever it takes, to ensure their safety'
Waking up from his reverie, he continued walking down the hallway, stopping in front of the elevator, he pressed the butting, and with a ding! the door of the elevator opened, stepping into the elevator, everything went into a peaceful silence, like the way it always is around here, he stood there in silence for what felt like a minute, to a couple of seconds, before ding! the sound of the elevator opening brought him back to his senses, stepping out of the elevator, he was greeted by the harmonious atmosphere, that had become the symbol of their safe haven,
Everything was in peace order as it was meant to be, just as he envisioned, when he built it,
'this peace this harmony, I will protect, I swear by the honor my family name'
He was broken out of his reverie by the sound of the intruder alert system,
[WARNING! WARNING! INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT! ALL RESIDENCE ARE ADVISE TO PREPARE FOR BATTLE, OR HIDE IN THE EVAQUATION CENTER]
BOOOM! The sound of an explosion going off resounded through the surrounding, looking in the direction the explosion came from, he saw them the bionics, who the Normies call hunters, a stain to his legacy, products of his research, who defiled everything that his research stood for, in a way they were reminders of his failure in protecting his research, for not destroying it, and now his past failures, have embodied flesh to hunt him,
Shing! pulling out his sword from the scabbard on his back for the first time in since he made it, the blade burned with a pale blue ghostly light around its edge,
Taking a stance, he took a solid step forward, and BOOM! the area around were his feet stepped on had spider web crack running around it from the sheer force of his foot touching the ground, and with that solid step, he disappeared from sight appearing in front of the hunters, with a large swing of his sword, he cut down the first group who stepped out of the whole they blew in the wall, with the ghost fire burning along the edge of his blade consuming those he had cut down leaving nothing behind but ashes, swing! placing his sword on his shoulder he spoke,
"did you bunch of failure mistakenly think you're strong, for taking out a couple of supers who weren't even fighting back, when you attacked with all that you had, if so, then let me show you what happens when a super decides to fight back"
And with those word, the lines in his armor burned with a stronger flash of pale blue, and the ghostly fire in his sword intensified, almost turning solid looking.

My name is Issa Wilton and as far back as I could remember we've always been told that, the infected are dangerous, evil, they where described, as the personification of evil, they were ruthless, that it is in their very nature to destroy, but lately I'm not so sure, I found my self asking, was everything we learned as kids the truth, when we go on subjugation missions the way they fight, never felt right it always felt like something is missing, but I never knew what it was till this moment now I finally figured it out it was the intent to kill, they were holding back from hurting us, even when we hacked their limbs, burned their skin, what a bunch of idiots, I thought with tears streaming down my eyes, I could feel it we were going to die, but the weight of guilt weighed more on my shoulders, as I looked at the man in armor who was suppose to be my reaper, but all I could see was a man drowning in responsibilities and pain.

Emperor, hearing the alert,
"freeze"
Stopping time, Emperor ran out with everything he had, reaching midway he had to release the frozen time, he fell on the floor blood streaming down the corner of his mouth, getting up from the floor he continued running in an unsteadied gait, making his way out side the council building, and what he saw was what he feared the most hunters making it into haven, and provoking an already angry monster, gathering all the strength he could muster, he froze time once again,
"freeze"
....
Back to the present, Knight cutting down enemies like grass, leaving nothing in his wake but charred earth and ash floating in the air, by the time he realised the hundreds of enemies had been utterly torn and burned, leaving nothing behind but ash, and a lone remaining survival, weakly laying on the floor, tears streaming down her eyes,
When he moved to cut her down as he did to the others, he hesitated, looking at her eyes, he saw something familiar something he seen before, in his own eyes, straining his unsteady hands to cut her down, he saw Emperor appearing before him,
"Get out of the way Emperor" he said, but inside he was glad that Emperor appeared.
"please Author, for old time sake spare her"
"I'll spare her, but this will be the last time you stand in my way, if not I will cut you down just like everyone who, stands in the way of my duty"
