Life's Forbidden Fruits

If humanity strives for peace than there will always be war, such is the rules of life in this never ending void. After years of torment and sufferance at the hands of enemies unity was the only option left for a dying humanity. And from the unity came darkness that was cast over the earth as proof of humanities scorn. Those of whom were willing to give up freedom became part of the peaceful populous, the rest were cast out into the darkness never to return to the peaceful world once more. As time passed on and the population grew a new city of evil emerged from the mist, its buildings stand tall and jagged its populous mutated by the very hatred they absorbed and fed off of. Tension grew high as the two feuding sides began to argue quite frequently of territorial lines. And finally a grand deal was stuck a massive fence would be risen splitting the earth in half. The darkness of peoples hearts in a city called Requiem took to the left of the planet, and the light known as Redemption took to the right of the planet. But were there is peace war is certain to follow, and two forces rose up against each other their fights echoing through out the cities walls.

Unorthodoxx sighed as he sat in the back of a transport on its way to a small fire fight in Redemption. He was not a official member of the band of rebels he fought with, he was just attempting to make a living. A rather big man sat next to him, his body appeared to be made of many other body parts most of them massive to provide him with amazing strength. “I don't trust this guy......” Muttered a man across from the massive living corpse, he concealed his identity under a heavy black hood. “Boss don't care about what your feelings are on him he just wants the job done so thats why he is here.” Replied the corpse man as he shot the other man a glare settling into his seat on the transport. “At least let us know his name.” Whined the man most notably a younger guy on the force who was recently new to them. “His name is Unorthodoxx, now sit back and keep quiet we are coming up to the drop point soon.” The man let out a soft sigh as he sung back in his seat not fond of being scolded like a common house pet. The transport came to a stop the bay doors being thrown open as they all filed out into a small war zone. “Whats the status?” Asked the massive man to what appeared to be a high ranking officer. “We still have a squad pinned down in that apartment building, do you think your team can get them out of there?” Asked the commander as he looked up at the massive man awaiting his answer. “You heard him, get moving!” He called to the squad standing by as they all seemed to file in behind him the building littered with the bodies of the recently fallen.

“Everyone split up and attempt to find the lost squad.” Says the massive corpse as a few of the team pair up and begin to set out rather quickly. “The boss wants me to keep a eye on you.” Mutters the man as he looks at Unorthodoxx still very unsure of him. “So be it then.....” Replies Unorthodoxx as he adjusts his glasses his silver hair flowing behind him. “Lets go then!” Called the man as they hit the stair case climbing to the eighth floor of the building. Peaking his head out the door he is met with a massive amount of resistance from the opposing forces. “Damn.....Looks like we might be pinned down here.” He mutters as he holds the door hearing the foot steps of the enemy squad outside the door way. “Stand aside....” Doxx says as he steps up to the door placing a hand on it, a deep black flame covers his palm as a odd aura begins to surround him. Screams can be heard from the other side of the door as Doxx pushes it open the only thing left of the enemy squad being bones and a few vital organs. “Lets go the sooner this is done with the sooner I can get paid.” The man looked on the horror that Doxx had created feeling nothing for the fallen as he filed in behind Doxx confused as to just what he was. Doxx sighed opening the door to a enemy encampment, the men behind the door were taken by surprise as Doxx sprung forward before they could get a shot off. Their bodies appeared to fall apart as if the air had cut them into pieces, and a ocean of blood hit the floor all at once. “Your lost squad appears to be in here.....” He mutters softly as he looks down on the squad of renegade soldiers all arranged in the corner of the room. He looks over at a family whose apartment had been invaded due to their own rebellions selfish needs. “We should kill them they are the enemy.” Called one of the troops on the wall as he picked up a finely crafted dagger setting across the room to make short work of the innocent family. Doxx appeared before him knocking him back and taking the dagger from him with ease as he looks down on the man. “Tell me sir do you have a family?” Doxx asks as he tilts his head looking down at the man. “Y...yes.” He replies nervously as he sits there his vision locked on Doxx's. “Then how about after you get done carving up them I do the same for you and even the score!” Yells Doxx as he brings the knife to his lips softly kissing the blade as he throws the blade across the room. “We are the bringers of evil not animals!” Calls Doxx as he shoos the man out of the room with the rest of the squad. Turning back he gazes on the family before joining the rest of the men out in the hallway.

All the troops file into transports each of them streaking through the night as they make their way back to Requiem. “Job well done Unorthodoxx....” Says the massive man sitting next to him a faint smile crossing his face. “As long as I get paid it doesn't matter to me.” Says Doxx with a sigh as they come to a stop outside a massive base. “This is farewell then brother.....” Says the man as he guides his squad out of the back of the transport, and making them assist the others with the wounded. Doxx walks into the office placing a ticket on the counter in front of a woman as he stands there waiting the woman returns with a case setting it in front of him. “We thank you for your services.” She says with a smile as Doxx gives a half wave as he is headed for the door. Emerging into the night air he sets off for his home passing many on the way to a small building just against the gate to the other side. “Home sweet home.....” He mutters as he throws open his door letting the case fall on the table next to it. He sits down in a over stuffed chair producing a book as he begins to write his mind a flutter with many thoughts as it begins to rain outside. Many hours pass when finally a knock comes at his door, with a heavy sigh he rises to answer the door, knowing whoever it was would want shelter from the rain.

Take as needed for pain.


No one thought it would happen......The world was wrapped up in the daily issues, another war, the economic downfall, the slander poured from the mouths of our so called enemies. Just another day for the typical American, the average citizen wrapped up in their never ending cycle of a life. Thats why it was such a big hit when the things hit shore side, life as we know it pretty much ended.......

The virus started in a small village in Northern China, the scientist there were illegally studying a pill that would make men superhuman. The took many villagers to conduct their tests each of them administered drugs, and the reactions were noted. A gifted scientist had invented a new drug compound using viral shells within the pill to administer the formula held within. The drug was given to a small boy who immediately had a reaction similar to the users of LSD, the drug was considered a failure the formula used to distribute the drug as a illegal substance for profit. The boy was found dead the next day man of the scientist blaming his small size with the amount of the drug given, and admitted the body to a random morgue in town were it would not be touched for months. The drug was sent out worldwide and used mainly by those who bathe in the night life and the typical drug user looking for a new cheaper high. The pill became amazingly popular soon finding their way to every corner of the earth, and becoming widely available as a “party drug.”. People began to die from the drug use man just dropping dead in their homes or where ever they happened to be, the time between each death was enough so that it seemed like just another over dose. The scientist received Intel that they no long had control over the morgue where they had dumped the boys body, fearing backlash they went to destroy it so it could not be found. Upon opening the cell in which the body was stored with a air tight lock, the corpse appeared to come back to life lunging at the men and biting one of them. The boy was dispatched quickly and the mans wound was treated as just a common bite. Eventually he was found dead in his home the cause of death could not be determined. When his body was being cleared he rose up attack the men, pinning one to the ground he began to rip his flesh off consuming it raw. Soon reports of undead where rising up everywhere must people unable to believe it and assuming it was just a new type of disease. Chaos broke out people either attacking one another or forming alliances to escape the living dead monsters, the military was in a disarray attempting to quell the infection.


That was three years ago at the start of the infection most call it the up rising. So you're most likely thinking who am I? And just what role do I play in this? My name is Sigmund R. Reynolds and I am a former military intelligence officer, you know the nerdy guy in the field who feeds you the info you need to know. When the military went through its downfall most of the guys went to defend their families, but not us we are in a special unit of vigilantes known as The Storm. If its dead and walking then we'll make sure it becomes dead again.

Sig sat on the side of a ACP as they drove down a deserted road, he adjusted his glasses looking over his rifle as he let out a sigh. “Hey Sig!” Called the the rookie across from him with a stupid smile crossing his face. “How about we make a bet that I kill more of the dead than you?” The rookie was new and cocky this being his first time out in the field. “Sure, if you don't get your a** ripped apart.” Replied Sig as the APC pulled to a stop outside a ruined city, Sig took this as his cue to stand. “Alright boys this is a basic search and rescue mission, we go in sweep the area for survivors and get back to the evac point. Remember aim high stay together, and put the bastards back in the ground.” He jumped off the back of the APC his squad falling in around him as they began their movement. They began their sweep of the building clearing them out floor by floor. “Sig I don't mean to sound paranoid, but isn't it a little to quiet?” Came the voice of Johnson one of the men in his squad. “Yeah......” Sig replied simply as he moved up to a door a very odd animal sound being produced from within. Counting down he kicked open the door a pair of dark eyes meeting his own as a zombie shuffled out of the room most of its organs sliding across the floor. “Light it up!” He called as one shot was taken brain matter and skull fragments leaking out onto the ground. “ Ahhhhh!!!!” The scream was heard from behind them their com links exploding in a awful sound. “The bastards are everywhere! Theres to many of them!” Zombies began shuffling down the hallway towards them their mouths wide open. “Damnit rookie be calm!” Sig shouted into his com link before a distress signal was picked up behind the hoard. “This is the real deal guys, make sure none are left standing.” Shots begin to ring out zombies falling in piles as they are hit, Sig makes his way to the signal finding a barricade. “My name is Sig with The Storm we've come to get you out of here if anyone is living then please remove the barrier! We will provide evacuation.” Sig says as he waits his team holding off the undead.

Elemental healing
As time advanced and science opened new doors the world began to grow amazingly. As humans advanced many races of sub human began to appear many of which could weave amazing spells and mystified humans everywhere. Eventually the planet began to die, and using all scientific resources at hand the humans split the earth into many layers all building off Duat city. Tensions raised as the city filled quickly the layers complete wastelands with few villages. All sub humans where forced into the wastelands under heavy watch from the humans expansive military.

A groups of sub human rebels rose from the underground calling themselves Hammer of the Gods. Their mission was to liberate the planet for equal sub human rights. Eventually war broke loose as the humans killed off a race of sub humans known as darkling’s in what was know as the seventh layer massacre. Sub humans rose up against their oppressors and a war of science and magic soon raged on.

But what the humans hadn’t realized is that they hadn’t killed off all of the Darkling’s. One Darkling known as Unorthodoxx soon became a mercenary of the wasteland choosing not to side with anyone. But on this day Unorthodoxx would find himself caught up in a conflict that he could not escape from.

Doxx laid on a hill looking through a scope down at the road block to Mecha a village he passed through often. Humans walked back and fourth their cyber armor eyes glowing in the faint wasteland sun. “Looks like they have already breeched the village……But what is it their doing?” Doxx asked himself as he examined them, the humans were pushing sub humans into plasma cages and killing off those to weak to move. “This is new…..” Doxx muttered as he rose up putting his scope away, he slowly walked down the path looking like a completely normal human civilian.

“Halt!” Yelled a man guarding the gate. “Scan him!” He yelled to a heavily armored man as he approached Doxx with a probe. He ran to probe over Doxx the energy emitting from his body causing the probe to blow. They all raised their guns to Doxx laser sights all pointed on him. “Sub human stand down!” The commander yelled as the men stepped forward to cease him. Doxx turned throwing his coat up as he pulled his massive handguns out shooting those that where a major threat to him before jumping on a falling guard picking up his weapon and killing the man in the guard post. They all lay dead in a pile as Doxx rises up throwing his coat back on. “Hmmmmm…..” He says as he rushes into the village in a attempt to liberate its people.
