The rain had finally stopped. Eviica opened her eyes and looked wondrously up at the moon. She rose to her feet and walked out of the near pitch black ally. She stuck her paw out and summoned a small ball of fire to help illuminate her path. All the lights in this side of town seemed to have been turned off for some reason unknown to her. Her little ball of fire shined on a car with many bullet holes in it. A peculiar sight in this small town. She looked in the inside of the car.
“OH GOD HE’S DEAD” Eviica screamed. She ran up to the side of the car and pulled an unconscious Adrian Lafayette out of the driver’s seat. She inspected his face and neck for any bullet holes. Adrian’s eyes shot open in fear.
“uh…wha-AHHH!” Adrian yelled in shock.
“HOLY SH-!” Eviica cried as she jumped back. “YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!”
“I WAS SLEEPING!” Adrian shouted.
“OH, WELL THAT’S GOOD TO KNOW!” She responded.
“WHY ARE WE STILL YELLING?”
“I’M NOT TOO SURE.”
“Ok…ok…ok…so, why were you looking at me?” Adrian asked.
“I saw your car with all the bullet holes in it and then I see a person who looks dead sitting in the car and then I scream and check to see if he is really dead and if I could give him help and see if I could perhaps recover him if he isn-“ Eviica stammered breathlessly.
“Whoa, whoa whoa, slow down, you’re going to give yourself a heart attack. As you can see I’m perfectly fine. Now, what’s your name?” Adrian said calmly.
“My name is Eviica...what's yours?" Eviica responded still quite shaken up.
"Adrian's my name, what were you doing in this side of town anyway?" Adrian asked.
"Nothing in particular. Just enjoying a perfectly nice summer evening. What happened to your car and more importantly you?" Eviica questioned.
"Jeez, I was just enjoying myself when all the sudden these dude came out and started shooting at me. I was like "Oh no you don't" and we engaged in this gunfight. I was like "You gonna die punk" and he was like "Oh nooooooo!" and then I won." Adrian gloated.
"Pfft, that didn't happen. But it looks like you won't be able to go far with your car in ruins like this." Eviica retorted.
"I'll get by fine. I'm more concerned about you." Adrian replied with fondness.
"Well, I don't really have much of a home now. You see there was this accident and then-" Eviica answered solemnly.
"Tell me later. I'll take you to my apartment, all you need to do is act like my headlights." Adrian said while tapping his foot on the front bumper, which then fell off the car and onto his other foot.
"OW OW OW OW OW!" Adrian yelled while hopping around. "I've been having the worst of luck today."


"How comes the research Riena?" Luther asked.
"Well, the problem is that the virus produces anti-bodies to the anti-virus that we had planned. Apparently the virus's control over the host is much more elaborate than we had anticipated." Riena responded hesitantly.
"We need an anti-virus badly if we want to succeed in our operations! Unless you want to contract it. But that's beside the point. Dad said that before he died he wanted to ensure the Lafayette's future generations to have insurmountable riches!" Luther exclaimed.
"Our company is worth 62 billion dollars as it is! We own 2 private armies! We have 8.5 billion in stock! How much more could he want?!" Riena yelled.
"Don't get mad at me because you think that it's morally wrong! Heck, I think that dad's insane! But I promised I'd see this trough, and so did you. And nobody crosses our dad, not even his chil-..." Luther's speech stopped suddenly. "Well...erm...yeah." Luther mumbled.
There was silence in the dark laboratory for about 5 minutes. Then Riena spun in her chair and began to look at the monitor, which was displaying the latest readout. Luther sighed, scratched the back of his head and then left the room.


I remember it clearly, the moon was shining brightly as my new friend slept silently in the seat next to me. Unfortunately moments of peace like this would be fairly far off from this point on.

Adrian silently drove through the night not focusing on the road but on other things, like his family, his friends, but mostly on this new girl he had found. Or she had found him. Either way, he wasn't expecting what was to come. Adrian came to an intersection close to his house and the center of town. He sped down but suddenly

*FHWOOSH*

"A SPIKE STRIP!" Adrian yelled in shock. Then the police emerged from the dark alleys wielding shotguns.
"Eviica, wake up! We need to run now!" Adrian stammered while shaking Eviica awake.
"Whahuh?" She muttered sleepily.
"STEP AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE ADRIAN! WE DON'T WANT TO SHOOT!" The police ordered through a megaphone.
Adrian and Eviica both leaped out of the sides of the convertible and ran as fast as they could towards town square. The cops tried to chase after them, but quickly lost their trace through the large crowd. They came to a stop at a nearby dock where a man was jabbering about some amazing catch he got off the coast somewhere.

This looks interesting, we can rest here for a second

The fisher rabbit unveiled the aquarium and revealed an awe inspiring serpent. Then all heck broke loose as the creature opened one eye and gazed directly at Eviica. It exploded from the tank and landed at another crowd goers feet. A police officer emerged from behind us and drew his gun towards Adrian.
"You sir are under ar-WHAT IS THAT?!" The Police officer cried and shot the serpent right in the neck. There was an eerie calm that seemed to last for eternity. Then the creature turned towards him and lunged.
"NO!" Eviica screamed as she pulled Adrian back.
"guhAGH!" The police officer yelped as the thing shredded his body.


I acted on instinct as I recall. I just did what came naturally.

"OH PLEASE DON'T KILL ME PLEASE!!! COME ON I'VE GOT CANDY YOU WANT CANDY?! SPARE ME!!!" Lander screamed. But to much surprise it responded.
"I am Leviathan, demi-god of the ocean. I have come to cleanse this land for the syphon. The ground here is not for you to walk upon." And on that note the creature leaped forward and brought is massive claw down on Eviica but met only the wooden planks of the dock. Splinters rained on Adrian's face, while Lander told everyone to run. Eviica began to immolate her hands, and Leviathan raced forward and clamped it's jaws down on Lander's arm.
"errAGH" Lander yelled as blood began to trickled down his arm while his hand went into wild spasms. Strange white lines traced across his forearm and he felt like he was on fire. Adrian took the time to shoot at Leviathan at the same time that Eviica started punching it's body. Leviathan only clamped down harder, but then released it's bite sending blood flying through the air. Lander stepped back clutching his injured arm, not knowing just how much damage had been actually inflicted. Slowly, he felt his consciousness fading as he lost his balance and fell backwards.


"And so it has begun. You will all fall to my will soon enough." Leviathan cried triumphantly.
"I believe you've truly proven the potential, thank you Leviathan. Riena, terminate SD-1 with a log of success." Luther said calmly leaning against a wall. Suddenly, Leviathan's body began to wither, as strange spheres of light began to emerge from his body.
"Wha-WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME!? I WON'T GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT!" Leviathan yelled. He tried to move forward and attack Luther, but his whole body erupted into a green and black flame. Leviathan collapsed making a thundering boom, and then the flames dissipated into ash.
"Pity, he could have been a real fighter." Luther commented. "It was a pleasure meeting you all. And you may want to get your friend to a hospital soon." Luther pointed at Lander's limp body. "He looks a bit scratched up." Luther punched a few buttons on his watch and teleported back to his house.
