Chapter 1 - Chapter 1(penance)

 "It was a dark, desolate night, void of people, peaceful even, The streets covered in darkness, and in that darkness shone brightly the most beautiful light, my girlfriend "Aria", in that dark night all I could see was her, her smile that could light up a room, her eyes that looked like the ocean, her lips, her pink colored lips, I loved everything about her and in that moment, it was as if the whole world had only us in it" Aria and I were out on our very first official date, after my discharge from the army, I finally worked up the courage to ask her out, seeing her face back then, with the way she always looked at me like I was her world, those sapphire-colored eyes that I would always get lost in. 

 our faces were filled with Joy, laughter and contentment, I thought to myself that if every day was like this that I'd want nothing more, but that ended when we ran into them on that alley way, three men covered by the vail of darkness, clothed in black, armed with daggers, I could only make out the face of one, his face was like that of a man whom has lost everything, his eyes devoid of light, and all emotions except anger, No, No, that was rage", they're just robbers we just need to comply and they won't harm us right?" I thought, as I looked over to Aria, she was shivering in fear, it's okay, just hold onto me, Kaid whispered, what do you want?!, Kaid shouted to the men in black with a fearful voice.

 The three men walked up to them, surrounding them, and in unison said to Kaid, don't you remember us,(the man that seems to be the're leader walked closer to Kaid revealing his face) "aren't You the man that asked me to save his family during the TSOP"(terrorist subjugation operation), your name was Elijah, right?, oh, so you remembered, seeing as how you murdered them in cold blood, Said Elijah. 

 Kaid said(in a voice filled with guilt) "I was just following orders" what do you want with us, Kaid said with a shoken voice, Kaid suddenly took notice of the vengeance in there eyes, please spare her, Kaid pleaded,

With a sicking grin Elijah said "I will make you watch just as you made me watch as my family died, immediately Elijahs men attacked Kaid, wanting to take Aria from him, Kaid fought with them but soon got overpowered and stabbed, as he fell onto the ground drowning in his own blood, he could do nothing but watch as they continually stabbed her and mutalated her, her eyes that was filled with joy only had tears and the look of absolute helplessness, as she painfully and slowly drew her last breath, at that moment my eyes filled with guilt, tears and sadness, I felt something snap, then all I could feel were joy, rage, guilt and extassy, as I looked over to a steel board and saw my reflected face that had a psychotic smile, that's when I heard the sirens and blacked out from loss of blood, 

 Waking up at the hospital, I hoped that it was all a dream but, as I looked at the news playing on the hospital TV, "breaking news; couple attacked on Daxion alley way, retired special ops soldier kaid, and local designer Aria, attacked by a band of robber's which left kaid in critical condition and Aria brutally murdered, on the scene now with local authorities, sir, Sir, how're the investigations going and what's Kaid Richards condition? 

Police officer;we have done a thorough sweep of the scene and have found out that the suspects are three middle aged men, and we will not rest until we find them, concerning Kaid Richards condition, he seems to have stabilized, once he wakes we'll get a statement from him, (The reporter turns to the camera) on other news, various people have been reported missing(voice fades as Kaid switchs of the TV) that was no robbery, with rage filling his eyes and his fists clenched, left the hospital discretely, upon reaching home, he saw his couch and the memory of his first kiss with Aria, the beauty of that moment and the bond they shared brought tears to his eyes, with his eyes covered in tears looked up with determination on his face as if he knew what to do, (clenches his teeth) grabs two daggers and sets out, (At an abandoned building) "my contact from the military said that this was the're hideout "(said Kaid) Kaid walks towards the door's of the building, opening it as loudly as possible(kpaak), man 1: who's there, don't move(he said while pointing a gun to his(Kaid) head, who're you and what are you doing here?, Kaid replied in a beep voice;"am here to kill Elijah.... 

 He quickly unarmed the goon, by pushing his head towards the gun making the goon temporary unable to shoot, then quickly grabbing the gun and stabbing him in the head, as the goons opened fire, Kaid used the body of the dead goon to shield himself from the bullets and quickly shoots them down using the gun he obtained from the first goon, as the're bodies dropped, he takes notice of a door leading to a basement, on his down the basement he encountered many foes, but dealt with them swiftly and cunning, as he approached the boss room, his mind determined and filled with only one thought ; "kill Elijah ". 

 Meanwhile, Elijah; "wasn't that gunshots?" {The atmosphere suddenly gets quite as the occupants quited down} maybe the boys are having a little fun, said Henry (Elijahs subordinate, also amongst the men that companied Elijah when he killed Aria) go check it out,Elijah ordered, (in compliance) henry stood and armed himself with a dagger, making his way to the door (exit/entrance) of the room, upon opening the door, then suddenly a dagger goes right through his throat sticking out from the back of his neck(gulp gulp)choking on his own blood as he fell to the ground(thuump)
