THE BLACKLIGHT

Chapter 1 - Fate

At night, somewhere in the yellow zone, in a long empty building, a man running for his life within the building's floor, a chain looking Noryoku grabs the man's legs forced him to fall down on the floor.

The long-range Noryoku belongs to Redtron. A mysterious S ranked notorious Mutant terrorist with glowing red eyes.

Wears hooded dark trench coat, black mask with horizontal red thin line on it. His face or hair is covered under his hood and mask. Mutants' Noryoku are mainly utilize a pair or unpaired of Blades of two distinct shapes, made of Antamentium (fictional metal) as a means of attacking which are be supplemented by powers that vary between each mutant. After falling to the ground, Redtron grabs the man's neck and start to question him. Turns out, the man is a Blackwatch soldier, assigned to transport an artificial vector to the yellow zone's Blackwatch base.

Blackwatch is the international private elite military unit, here to protect Japan from viral outbreaks and biological attacks. First created by All Nations Alliance, World's srongest Superpowers founded by Most of the world's leading nations, Blackwatch is the Military force representing the A.N.A's small fraction of their Military Elite forces.

Redtron wanted to know the location of that dangerous artificial vector but the soldier was no way going to tell him that. He's Superpower red eyes focused the Blackwatch soldiers tell him the truth, the soldier said the Vector escaped, it broken the container, attacked and ate the few of his soldier's heads and ran off, somewhere in the yellow zone, he don't know where.

But suddenly three Mutants working for Blackwatch came to attack Redtron, these Mutants or Mutants hunters here to capture or kill Redtron for Blackwatch's leaders order, Redtron easily made an escape from that mutant's ambush after killing that soldier by throwing him from the window in the 27th floor in that building. The mutant hunters have not given up, they will find him in one way or the other.

The year is 2030a.c.b, 16 years ago from present, Tokyo city went under a massive viral outbreak, as a result of millions civilians death. From the death, those people were come back to life as mindless walking corpses, the virus also created many horrific monsters roaming around the city killing anyone that moves. A.N.A suggested Japanese government and the Military to locked the city down for no farther viral spreading to other cities or countries. Declare the Martial law within the country, giving the Blackwatch the total control of the all the prefectures for secure power against any rebellious mutants and contain the viral infection which is particularly in the capital. Later Blackwatch renovated and renamed Tokyo as TYZ.

The Mutants considered as infected beings because the Redlight virus, very similar to Blacklight, are present in their blood. There is no way to get in or out of Tokyo without Blackwatch's authorization. They divided five different in main sectors green, yellow, brown, red and black known as zones.

Most portions of Tokyo has rather destroyed or infected by the Blacklight virus, excluding zones like Green, Yellow and Brown. These small zones are considering as safe zone with no or little Mutants activities areas. In the other larges zones, various numbers of infected roaming around Tokyo killing, eating and infecting each survival citizen, who force to live there. Due to this Blackwatch's soldiers has spread over the country, and mostly in the capital for manage, maintain and regulates the areas, but they often act as tyrants rather than protectors to the people.

....

Next day afternoon after the incident, Akagi Shinsuke is a normal 18 years old postgraduate student in biology and currently a trainee in genetics in MRC training Institute. MRC short for Mutants Research Commission is a biological research company, mainly studies Mutant and the virus. Akagi has a kind personality willing to help anyone in need, but quite. He is very caring, serious and lot of self confidence. However he is not meek,

Akagi is extremely intelligent individual and excellent in playing games such as chess, puzzles, planning and strategies; anything that occupied by his mind.

He has a rare INTJ personality type, for this he doesn't trust anyone so easily and had no friends, very skeptical and independent.

Often People misunderstood him and labels him as quirky, awkward, nerdy, wield or oblivious, Akagi knew but he didn't care.

Akagi also shy sometimes, and very thoughtful, easily lost in his thoughts.

He is considerably tall, very bright faired skin, had little muscle, scrawny or rather thin, straight short dark hair with blue eyes and wears thin glasses. He has been tease and bullies by other students in his workplace for his quietness, weird, and geeky behaviours. He has been use to, because he was been bullied since childhood so he has no choice but to embrace it. He sees the world differently from other people and tries to change it for the better. But he's simple human and have no power or right to do it.

One late at night, Akagi finish, his report and head back home to his mother and younger brother. He is very passionate about his dream being a scientist in genetics one day like his father was.

He has told that his father died when Akagi was 3 years old, so then on Akagi takes full responsibility for taking good care as head of his family. His mother spent 10 years in prison, it takes time to adjust civilian life because she was a military soldier, for unknown reasons she had to go prison when Akagi was five, now he is an 18 years old young a.d.u.l.t and his brother is a 15 years old high school student.

On his way to home at late night, he heard a strange noise at a lonely dark narrow lane. It was so dark he can't see an inch but Akagi went to the lane to see what's going on, a little light coming from road lamp, he sees a headless female body lay down on the dirt with a huge horrify Vector.

The Vectors is an exoskeleton looking, brain eating monsters, easily recognised by their pointy long tongue and no lip with visible inhuman razor shaped teethes. Of all the Infected, Vectors are the most aggressive, savage and brutal beings ever created from the virus.

They can easily keep up with a vehicle and just as easily topple any vehicles with a shoulder-check.

Their flesh is blackish, hairless, and glows with Blacklight-infused meat coloured muscle fibres a dark red gas streams coming from their mouths when it breathe out and filled with saliva among its teeth's. They are incredibly strong and can sustain or deal large amounts of damage before dying or killing someone.

That Vector is trying to get a little girl hiding a small sewer type tunnel. The girl is no doubt that she's scared, "She must be that dead woman's daughter or something" Akagi thinking to himself, "Will I help her or not". That sentence continuous flowing around on his mind, after hearing the girl is crying, he quickly decides to help her. He opens his bag looking for anything.

Fortunately he has all the equipment to distract this vector. He looks his bag takes out his music iPod and a torch with many changeable colours Akagi put on speaker mode, maximizes the volume and set auto play music on his iPod, he straps the iPod with his shoelaces on the torch and throws it from a distance from Vector.

Sound, Light or any shining object attracts vectors.

Vectors' intelligences are similar as animals, when music starts, the Vector sees a glowing loud noise coming from the dark, its changing its colour seem odd from the dark, the vector went in the dark to find out, what it is, leaving the girl unharmed. Akagi's plan seems to be succeeded; he quickly takes out the girl from the tunnel and runs away as faster as he can with the girl holding his hand. The vector soon realises the girl was gone and find them running to the road.

It starts to chase them it full four leg speed. Akagi was able to save that little girl's life but not able to save himself from that Vector. Vectors much faster than human, Akagi sees the coming close faster, he pushes the girl to front from his hand but that vector catches Akagi by the leg and throws him away from the other side but let the girl to run. Vector starts to tear him apart, first the grabs his leg and tearing his t.h.i.g.hs, Akagi struggles to escape from Vector's sharp teeth and claws, blood splattered everywhere staining Akagi's face, body and cloth red. Akagi kicked from his other leg on the Vector's face but, that brain eating monster didn't let go and stubbornly held him a few seconds. The Vector has bitten Akagi's left neck and gets infected.

He grabs his neck in pain, screaming and thinking "Am I going to die here? Is it in my fate to die such a painful way?"

Vector grabs Akagi's whole body with its single hand, open its large hundred of shaped teeth mouth about to eat his head. Akagi's life one step closer from death but then suddenly Redtron appeared from the building, right above where Akagi and that Victor are standing. It was the same escaped Vector that Redtron was looking for. He cuts the Vector's hand; from it was holding Akagi, the vector roaring like screams and step back from him, a little flow of blood coming from its joint. Akagi falls on the ground along with Vector's separated hand, the hand still grabbing him.

Akagi struggles to set free from the Vector's hand. Redtron went straight to attack the Vector, he pounce and lands on the Vector's c.h.e.s.t chopping its head clean off by his sharp Noryoku claws and consume it. Redtron turns on his eyes on Shinsuke's barely alive body. Akagi's body is covered in blood, not able to run nor move, Redtron notices the infected Vector's bite mark on his left neck, Redtron grabs Akagi's throat by his left hand and give a few portions of something continuously moving wires like black colour spirals string, coming from Redtron's claws. He stabs Akagi's c.h.e.s.t with his claws and the round black thing went inside to his body like a worm went its hole. Akagi went to a massive transformation and fell unconscious, while he was unconscious a black glowing red springs shreds running, through his c.h.e.s.t and his whole body and Redtron is long gone. The girl that he saved was able to call for help. Akagi immediately taken to a Hospital.

....

Akagi wake up in the hospital. He saw hazy a bright white light. Then his vision focused, and he realized he was just staring at Hospital's white ceiling

"When I wake up, I was in the hospital, both hand cuffed from the bedside metal rods. The doctor arrived and says nothing in particular no need to worry, just minor cuts, you should be fine, then he gives a piece of paper to fill out his name and address, after giving the paper to me, he leaves, he doesn't seems be just an ordinary hospital doctor, instead he is most likely be a MRC researcher. How I know, because I am part of the MRC training Institute, I know how the researcher dressed like but why he is he doing in an ordinary Hospital? And what does he want from me?" Akagi thought to himself while lying on the bed. A few moments later, Akagi hears some voices from outside of his room.

A conversation between some men and that scientist, he sits up on the bed and tries to hearing the conversation between the scientist and two or three people. Akagi is still alive after attack, they going to need to transfer a Blackwatch base to future tests as living test subject. After hearing that Akagi is scared and tries to escape. He manages to a desperate escape from the soldiers. He is easily breaking the handcuff from his bedside poles, finding new suitable clean cloths, overpowering, overrun the soldiers and jumped from the third floor in the hospital straight to the ground, he was wounded with two gunshots, but no effects from jumping, Akagi doubted himself about his body. He feels much stronger and faster than ever before besides easily breaking the metal handcuff, jumping from a third floor unharmed those things a normal human being could not capable of and wounds in last night attack it has also been healed.

He runs about a mile with wounded gunshot body then getting tired and fall asleep in the small lane somewhere in a corner street for the night. After he wakes up he sees wound still did heal, he cleaned up the blood, patched up the wound and return home.

After come back he sees his mother worried. "Akagi Why did you come home last night? Do you have any idea how worried I was for you?"

"Seeing my mother worrying about me the whole night, I was felt guilty so I told her that I was doing overtime in the lab felt sleep in the lab, hiding the whole truth, my mother told me to take care of the house she is going for her usual part-time job as waitress in a restaurant, she also attends multiple jobs for family money support and she also said that, a few hours later Akiho coming from tuition when he comes told him that foods in the fridge, he should eat it"

After his mother left, he went to his room and studying about what happened to his body. During his studies, he still hasn't finds suitable answer for his question from lots of books and even in internet. After finding nothing, he put his palm on his cheek and he fall sleep because he is still tried from last night. However his sleep breaks after, he heard a phone call rings on his phone and he answers it. It was Akagi's present, one and only trusted classmate, a pervert and also sometimes a bully, name Natsume Yuichi. He is also works in T.I of MRC and his father runs pathology centre.

How you doing Shinsuke? Natsume asked

"I am fine, thanks for asking, what do you want Yuichi?"

"Ah well, do you have the file on the previous class? I forget to write down the notes, ha... Ha hah. If you finish the report can I copy it from yours?"

"Sure.... why not" Akagi replied.

While talking Akagi feeling both thirsty and hungry, so phone in left hand he started looking in the fridge, he pick a soda can and try to drink it, a few seconds later he has a massive stomach pain he had to vomited the soda.

"Hey Shinsuke, what happen? Are you alright?" Natsume question him with concern

When Akagi barely able to talk "I am fine, I talk to you later"

Then Akagi tries to drink just normal water, the result is the same, he had to spill it out even water. He soon realizes something moving from stomach to his heart tries to throw everything out from his body. The more food he ate more and more his stomach ache also grew.

The stomach pain including the bullets wound is too much to handle. He took the pills for stomach pain for three to five times but no result, Akagi has no choice but to sit on the dining table agonising in pain, then he hears a voice from his head saying

"Hey Akagi, as you know, you are not just human beings anymore, but you already notice the changes, don't you? I don't believe me just a look at yourself in the mirrors, you will know it too, hahahahahaha!!!Ha!" s sudden voice whisper Akagi's head.

Then, slowly the voice disappeared; Akagi has never heard that light Nasal echoed voice before.

That voice creeping him out because is so weird and no normal person ever talks like that. But Akagi have no word, only this

"I must be crazy, must be or maybe just my imagination, I, I hear the creepy voice from my head, ha-ha.." he takes this voice warning as a joke, but suddenly he sees a reflection of his face from a steel plate right on the dining table, he saw his right eye is not normal, something red glowing from his eyeball. He suddenly runs to the bathroom to see.

What he saw from the big mirror in the bathroom, his mind has completely blown away to see the glowing red eyes and cross-pattern in his pupil, those same eyes that he saw from Redtron when he attacking him. Akagi also has the same eye on the right, Akagi look closely in the mirror and screaming

"Ah!!! What...what is that thing? In my eye"

The other left eye looks normal blue but suddenly he sees the same black and glowing red coloured viral spirals string are back, running again on Akagi's c.h.e.s.t, stomach and shoulder. He removes his shirt to see what the hell that thing is and what is that coming from.

A thick black and stoked in red tentacles warped around his shoulders up to his arms and whole backside like a snake . The tentacles present beneath his skins like a glowing red nerves and the tentacles round twisted shape looks like a weird tattoo in his back. "What the f.u.c.k that masked man do to my body?"

Akagi has no doubt that he is becoming is something less than human or something even more than human.
