What once started out as a story for storyboard has evolved into a thread of it's own that I'm looking at turning into an RPG one day. It's a different RPG when compared to the usual superhero RPG's
Introduction
When you are sitting down and watching your favorite movie, anime, television show, or reading a comic, manga, or book that involves a villain who is squaring off against a hero do you sometimes ask yourself what if the villain won? That’s the kind of question I’d ask myself from time to time. Especially if the villain becomes interesting enough for me to raise that kind of question. There is also the question in why is it necessary that the good guy has to win all the time? One would assume it’s because it brings a sense of comfort because if said villain won then dark days would approach mankind. If The Kurgan from Highlander had won the prize against Conner mankind would suffer an eternity in darkness. Which is what Ramirez drives home to Conner and to the audience as to how important it is for The Kurgan to be defeated. Yes there are villains in which you want to root for the hero to defeat but sometimes there’s that nagging question. What if they didn’t win?
There have been stories that answered that question. Wanted in particular was about villains winning, Watchmen even introduced a interesting aspect in what if a villains schemes actually pulled off. The story in which you are about to see is also a take in that. Although unlike Wanted it doesn’t involve a group of people who would murder and rape to their hearts content. These people are flawed yes and they have committed acts that’s morally questionable but in a way even ones governments have committed morally questionable acts to ensure the protection of the world they live in. Does it make it right? No way but sometimes sacrifices have to be made to achieve ones goal. Do they get a happy ending out of this? They have a moments peace yes but soon they’ll find out there are bad guys that’s much worse than them.
Prologue
Calm Before The Storm
Ottawa
It was a perfectly normal day, the civilians were all doing their ordinary everyday lives just to get by. Then all things changed when a streak of fire came from the sky. Many assumed it was a comet flying over the earth's atmosphere till it started to maneuver and make it's way towards the city then there more just like it descended towards the city as well. It was like Armageddon has arrived, nobody was safe from the destruction. When one of the objects from the sky descended from the ground it revealed a humanoid figure with dozens of razor-feathered wings, it's faceless and androgynous in appearance. The other objects flying around looked just the same in appearance. They each scouted the city completely destroyed and covered in flames.
Chapter One
The Drums of War
In the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, a lone sergeant walked quickly through the hallways. His urgent pace was rude to some of the others, but he had no time to stop. He needed to find his commanding officer. And he wasn't the only one in a hurry. Something was going on and the whole building was in a slight rush. He eventually found the room he was looking for. After gaining entry clearance, he stepped inside.
The meeting of top brass paused as Sgt. Hill entered. He walked over to one of the officers, Col. Princeton, Secretary of Defense,The colonel nodded and dismissed Sgt. Hill. The colonel looked at the other officers "What's the situation?" The general at the head of the rectangle table asked.
“Ottawa has reached disaster level code red” The President has given the go ahead to send in a task force to subdue the invasion that is upon us. Our Allied Forces have joined in on the cause. The Operatives will be sent out to stop the crisis.” Col.Princeton got up then made her leave
“What are you going to do in the meantime?” The general said
Col.Princeton looked back” What I was sent here to do General. Save the world from dangerous threats”
