my friend, Draconis_Nocturnae wrote the first twelve pages, (by word document reckoning) of Insurrection. And he did a great job of it too.
you all remember BlackKnight? yeah, he's back.
Insurrection: Chapter One: BlackKnight's Betrayal.
It was a peaceful and quiet type night at K and I Black Market Industry. Krayven was lounging around in a chair; waiting for Iseras to arrive so he could tell him a really funny fail that had happened to him. And he just couldn't wait for it.
Iseras finally showed up; he was In his black uniform as he usually was on duty. As Iseras approached his best friend; Krayven said; "I know it's a rule to have uniform on a lot around here. But we're not planning any ops tonight Iseras."
Iseras smiled through the suit and said through his voice changer: "I was thinking of a warehouse. I've been going there frequently, especially of late, I think there may be someone there who's trying to frame me. His name is BlackKnight. He's a horny son of a bitch who rapes PeaceKeepers. And he has obviously made a huge effort to look like me. I should have told you this sooner."
Krayven shrugged and said; "Yeah; I've had that happen to me. Some fucking moron named RedDawn. Sometimes I think those guys are partners. RedDawn and BlackKnight. Anyway; I think we've earned ourselves a couple beers. Don't you Iseras?"
The blue dragon in the black combat suit, Iseras, nodded and said; "Yes. I think we have. Now; let's go. And I think that I'll post a few guards here. I can sense that somebody will be planning an attack tonight."
Krayven chuckled and said; "You always were uptight about that."
Iseras responded; "I want to keep both of us safe. Who will the people turn to next when we die and can't get supplies to them?"
Krayven shrugged and said; "It's business. And you know there are back up plans. Now; I think we should go get some beers."
Just then, several squadrons came in with guns and Krayven was really impressed. "Woah Iseras. I think that's a little high security. We're just going to the bar down the road. And we're really not supposed to have that much security. Unless this is-"
The shocking horror of what was really going on finally hit Krayven.
Iseras' warm smile turned to something of a cruel reality. "Yes?" Iseras asked.
"A coup de'tat." Krayven pulled out his pistols and aimed them at the guards.
"I don't know what you are planning, Iseras; I just know you aren't gonna get away from it."
Iseras held up his paw and the guards, the seven squadrons of them, cocked their rifles and pointed them at Krayven. Krayven also cocked his guns. "This won't end well people! As your commanding officer lower your fucking weapons!"
Not a guard budged.
Just then; there was an explosion and the wall broke down.
Instantly; UCG agents and PeaceKeepers flooded the room through a huge hole in the wall. They were shouting orders. Krayven started shooting at them and then all hell broke loose.
Iseras used his time ability to slow down time to a crawl and went after Krayven. The seven squadrons of guards started firing on the PeaceKeepers and the UCG agents. They didn't really know what was going on. They were the shoot-first-ask-later type.
Iseras was the shoot-and-don't-ask-and-where's-my-reward? type person.
Krayven was fast, Iseras admitted. He was so fast that even Iseras' time bend ability had little affect. And Iseras had used that ability to dodge a whole flurry of bullets before.
That said something about Krayven's speed. Come to find out; Krayven actually was resistant to time manipulation. He had made a device that disabled temporal time forces around him. So he was always in sync with the faster timeline. Unless he chose to sync it with the slower timeline of course.
So; for Krayven; everything else around him, literally, slowed and it was shooting fish in a barrel from then on. He had killed at least three-dozen people, all with perfect headshots and accuracy, while maintaining his flips and fly tricks in the air. His feet were either bouncing off of a wall, a person, or kicking someone. He was constantly in motion. The guy never got aerial sickness. And he kept his wings tucked in tight.
But eventually; Iseras' will and strength dwindled as his time bending move took away his energy. He finally collapsed on the ground. That was when Krayven ran out of ammo and started doing ground attacks and melees with his pistols. His pistols had clips that had knifes in them just outside the bullet holding chamber in them. They were bayonets about 6 inches long. He wasn't the one who invented it. But he was the one who had perfected its design and lethalness.
But some soldier, out of the few that were left, got a lucky shot and hit Krayven in the neck; piercing an artery; sending him into the ground; his weapons just out of reach.
Iseras had recovered from his power by this time and made his way over to Krayven; who was being held in a submission hold on his knees by a few soldiers.
"Hold him there." Iseras ordered.
Iseras walked over to Krayven; who was bleeding badly from the throat and said; "Surprised at my betrayal?"
Krayven growled and said; "I trusted you for a while; but recent days I knew of your 'betrayal'. Since about the time you told me PeaceKeepers turned you on. And believe me my 'friend': my death will mark the new Insurrection. One that will not fail."
Iseras growled and said; "All whom I have killed have said that before. You will be no different Krayven." Iseras said as he raised his claws in a death strike for Krayven.
"Any last words, Krayven?" Iseras asked; feeling really powerful.
"Yeah; FUCK YOU!"
there was a slashing sound, the sound of a head falling to the floor, and then Krayven was no more.
