Chapter One: Before Beginnings

[Jake Pheonix]

"gah! he got away...leave it to them to give me a hard target"

Phoenix walked into an allyway and went down a secret path down to the headquarters

[Anthony "Clockwork"]

Clockwork shapeshifted as he landed in the office. People stared, but payed him little attention at the same time, somehow.

Paying no attention to them, Clockwork made his was out of the building. He'd get back into contact with Crimson Courage and ask them what that was all abou later.

[Jake Pheonix]

Phoenix went to his quarters and laid in his bed he looked up at his messege board and sighed. the messege on it said new target.

"well i hope this one isnt as tough as the last one"

[Anthony "Clockwork"]

Sitting at his desk, Clockwork took his backpack off for the first time in hours. The sweat almost made it sick to his back as though it were sown in. Swearing from the pain, Clockwork carried on as though nothing happened.

I lay out my various drug across my table and begin to hide them on various parts of my body.

[DarkZodiac]

Lighting up another cigarette DZ pushes his chair away from the hundreds of monitors showing feeds from various locations and begins wandering the halls towards the elevator.
"Well, it looks like the excitement for the hour is over for now. Let's see how business is doing."

[Scott Ferrara]

As Agent 61 entered the compund his boss came down before he could even sit at his own desk. "61, what the hell is going on! I thought you were supossed to turn the target not try and kill him. Thats the last thing I need, upstairs is already on my ass for things that I have no control over." Agent 61 look him dead in the eye and said, "Fuck off, Foxhound got in my way again, it's your job to tell them im there. I should have killed the assasin and maybe they would get the message this time."

61 turned and walked away towards the bathroom and his boss shouted, "Fucking kill the bastrd next time." The Agent walked ot the bathroom, went to the porcelain sink and ran the water. Splashing his face with the ice cold water, the Agent tried to figure out what his next move was.

[Anthony "Clockwork"]

I step outside slightly weighed down by the drugs I'm carrying. Looking both directions before I cross the street, I begin to walk over to a local bar where I'm to deliver the package.

[Jake Pheonix]

Phoenix walked back out side back into the secret allyway with his new orders...a weathly man

[DarkZodiac]

With the cigarette still in hand, I walk around, chatting with his troops and with some of the big shots who were doing business there at that moment.
After doing his daily run, I return to my quarter, a tidy little room with minimal furniture and open the compartment hidden behind a false book case and pop a few pills.
Drugs my scientists developed to lessen the insanity that took me so many years ago.

[Anthony "Clockwork"]

I walk into the diner and immediately smell an overwhelming essence of cigarette smoke. Normally, I like the smell and even find it to be somewhat therapeutic, but this is just too much. Taking a deep breathe of the Smokey air, I continue to walk until I spot my buyer. He's a normal customer, nothing more. I clear that he'd been on various drugs for quite some time now, judging by his appearance.

I carry on and sit across from the man. He immediately begins to reach for his wallet from his back pocket.
