Threat Assassin #1- The Prolouge
Date: 2 November 2003, 5:01 AM
Threat Assassin #1- Prologue
A figure walked the streets, around 5 "10,' he had darkened hair, and bright eyes; almost white it seemed. His trenchcoat was leather the sewing showed up very vaguely, it was all black and barely seen in the dark nights. Lights Gleamed off the street from passing cars, Blinding the figure by means of headlamps from cars bypassing him and breaking the speed limit. Normally at night no one followed any laws in the city. The figure walked slowly down the street, the man's trenchcoat seem to float behind his back from the constant wind. The streetlamps flickered as he passed under them. The cars stopped coming, The Street had gotten quiet, and the wind seized, he knew something was about to go down. He watched as a wet piece of newspaper rolled down the street as if signaling something, he slowly walked backwards watching the roofs, he turned around to notice a lonely figure standing almost 10 feet in-front of him.
"Jack, So they turned you against me? and I liked you too." The figure knew the man standing in front of him ready to fight him at a moments notice. Jack Renolds was his name, he was a top executive of an assassins corporation.
"So, could you tell me you're real name so I can tell them what to post on the tombstone?" Jack was cocky enough to think he actually ever had a chance against the figure.
"Just go by what they originally call me when someone is dead and they want to blame it on someone...." The figure pulled out 3 daggers in-between his fingers throwing them at great speeds taking down Jacks left arm.
"Argh!" Jack revealed a 50 caliber gun out of his coat and took aim at the menacing figure.
"You die here!" Jack put pressure on the trigger but released as he saw nothing in front of him.
"Where did you go?" A sparkle flew out of the sky, 2 daggers revealed themselves, with great force and accuracy stabbing Jack's feet into the concrete, Jack flinched in pain but raised the gun shooting at the figure. Every shot was a miss, the figure seem to know where Jack was predicting to shoot.
"Jack....I really did like you too, Heh, Time to end this." Jack again raised his gun only to see nothing but air come out of his chamber.
"But, how....thats not possible!" The chamber of the gun was slipping apart from the gun.
"With the perfect amount of power and accuracy it is." The figure walked up to Jack with the sword revealed scratching on the ground, sparks scatter the ground below the figures feet. Jack struggled to move but the daggers were deepened into the concrete. Blood formed a pool below Jacks feet. Immense fear began to enter Jacks body, He struggled again but to no avail he stood in front of the threat formally known as Threat Assassin Number 1. The figure fulfilled the title to his fullest, he was like a killing machine and worked for the highest bidder that could provide.
"Jack, why did you fall for ONI? You and them both knew you couldn't kill me, Heh, noone can kill me."
"C'mon, you know my company is down to hell in debt. They offered very good paycheck for your head, now I know why." Jack stood facing the figure in-front of him knowing he was going to die soon.
"Jack, Jack, Jack, Think for a second, I would've helped you out. I mean after all we were good friends."
"So we not anymore are we?"
"Sorry Jack, You're with ONI, you know how I feel about ONI."
{27 Years ago }
An experimental baby is being formulated to be the perfect killing machine, his parents murdered, anyone related to him was in prison or dead along the streets. His whole life is going to be spent to kill and obey. The baby is now inside formula tube A. The scientist read the words imprinted unto the paper he was reading on his desk inside the ONI headquarters.
"So this is the new Spartan Project huh?" The scientist insisted on laughing to himself before taking the paper and trashing it. The experimental baby was indeed supposed to be the new equal to Master Chief, even better. He was to fight against the rebels, and covenant. The ONI had prepared this project for multiple babies but this one was special for some reason no one knew why. At the age of 15 he broke free of this prison and took to a Master that taught him everything about fighting and killing that he already knew and some he didn't know. 10 years later this Master was killed by ONI putting the individual alone and without anyone to fend for him. He used the blade that his Master had given him days before he was killed. Days later he meat Jack Renolds, The head executive of the assassin company 'Threat Assassin.' These two have been friends for almost 2 years
{Real Time }
"Jack, you should know my history."
"Its sad, Im sorry they put you through that."
"Im also sorry Jack, I've gotta kill you, ya know. again ONI took another of my family and friends."
"C'mon give me your name, before I die."
"Only you Jack would I ever think about giving a last wish too." The figure drew his blade from the ground and put it too Jacks throat.
"Only if you knew why I turned...."
{1 month earlier}
"50 G's? you're kidding right? just for his head?"
"Yes we are completely serious, are you accepting?" An ONI spook was speaking to Jack in a private room inside the ONI quarters.
"I don't know, he's a good friend of mine though."
"Dont be decived, he won't be loyal long,Plus your the only one to take him out now while he think your his friend."
"Fine, Ill take it, You better be damn good for your money or else ill come for you too."
"Just get the job done." The ONI spook left the room leaving a phone number of Jacks desk to call after he deals with the man.
{ Real Time }
"Jack, C'mon you honestly think I would betray the only person I can trust in this damn world?"
"Well, I know the Assassin rule of life." The two repeated the one single rule they followed for life.
"Trust only those you know and kill those who you don't."
"Well since I betrayed you I'm not a fellow assassin now am I?"
"Jack why did you ever think about taking the job?" The sword was now closer to Jack throat.
"Again, my company gone soon enough, I had too, just get it over with I cant even stand it any longer."
"Damn ONI, Im coming for you soon enough." The sword drew back and slit Jacks throat. Jack fell down with the daggers stuck into his feet, The figure removed them allowing Jack to lye on the ground without any more pain. The figure got close to Jacks left ear.
"By the way Jack, my name is Leoida, A.K.A. Rouge...." Jack put in a faint smile before he bleed to death on the ground. A nearby shadow in the streets reported in to ONI.
"Jacks down, He's alone again, and on the run. So what do we do now?" The ONI spook sank into the shadows walking into the alley.
"Just wait, trust me I've got a plan for him." Another ONI executive officer was sitting in his chair listening to the transmission.
"That may take a longer time then we can afford." The spook continued to walk down the alley.
"Trust me, I think that my friend here can take care of everything, Isn't that right Ariston?" Another figure stood at the door of the ONI executive officers office. The ONI spook stopped in his tracks.
"But sir, Isn't he unstable? And Dangerous, like Leoida?"
"Thats, exactly why I plan on using him...." The ONI Executive officer began to laugh and so did the spook.

Chapter 2- Messing with the wrong person
~Author Notation~
This might be a little late to say but i've changed my name from Michael to Lone Jackal. Yeah its me from Devestation.
~End Notation~
Leoida stood stunned from Jacks death, Overlooking the river, a huge river mostly polluted, from a bridge.
"Damn ONI, if I ever get my hands on them..." Footsteps were heard from behind him, then more, and more. He turned around to meet an platton of ONI spooks, about 20 of them.
"What the hell? They actually send ya'll to do some dirty work?" No ONI spook talked, just started at him. Leoida suspected something wrong. A figure arose behind the ONI spooks and walked foward moving all of them away.
"Robots..... you cant fool me, you are just nothing but robots." Leoida stood in front of the ONI robots staring at the figure walking up to him. The lead robot was human like just like Leoida. They both stood close to the water on the walkway of the bridge.
"We have a deal for you Leoida."
"I really dont give a shit. So don't waste your breath." Leoida took his sword out of his cast and brung it up while throwing daggers with his other hand, while he was brining up his sword. The daggers skidd across the taller stalkier robot in front of him and hit 3 robots behind him. He dashed for the robot in front of him, swining his sword up, down, left, right, and across the middle of the figure, he stopped and stood in amazement.
"Dammit....." The robot dogded each of his attacks, Leoida knew they had been watching him, he thought sooner or later something was devished to met his abilities and take him back to the labs.
"You'll never be able to take me down."
"Think that all you want." The robots behind him dashed foward throwing thier fists and using weapons any of them handled. He slahsed 3 robots in half with ease, moving left he dogded a rocket that landed into a bar of steel holding up the bridge they fought on. He grabbed a robot that was unarmed and threw it into the waters forcing it to malfunction and fry. 5 Robots stood infront of him shooting Shotgun buckshots toward Leoida. Leoida stood still, his mind could see very small images noone else could notice, he raised his sword and in a very impressive fashion knocked multiple bullets away and doging others. He knew he couldn't keep this trick up long he drew daggers and he ducked down and walked bacwards. He threw them at the robots, taking them all down. Running out of daggers he had to resort to his sword. He slammed a robot into the ground with the blunt side of his sword smashing it into nothing, he moved to the next robot. He slahsed through multiple robots taking them down in a ordely fashion, He ended up 5 feet from the lead robot. The other robots fell and shattered. His time in the experimental tubes served him well in increasing every single on of his abilities, his master also played a great deal in his style of fighting.
"I wouldnt expect anything less, That was the warm-up." The robot stared at Leoida.
"Trust me I dont need to warm-up for something like you." Leoida raised his blade and took head on for the robot, He swung knowing the robot would dodge, he kicked at the robot forcing the robot to focus on his feet and the sword came down hard on the robots back. The robot fell down hitting the ground and not moving.
"Way to easy." Leoida turned and began to walk back when the robot rose up, Leoida turned. The robot looked straight at him through his red glass eyes, with normal looking pupils on the outside.
"I dont go down that easy, you should know better." The robot raised his arms, they opened to form two 50 calibar machine guns pointing for Leoida. Leoida ducked and ran as the bullets flew across the bridge knocking down anything in its way. Leoida made a path to the robot and watched the robot grin as he slapped Leoida to the side with one of its arms. Leoida rose not moving, He put his sword in front of him, raising it up to his eyes.
"What are you thinking?" The robot spoke as he again raised his arms. Leoida drew the sword back and threw it strafing to his right and making a head on dash to the robot. The swords bounced off the robot and slamed into the ground, Leoida expected this as the robot grinned. Leoida took his fist and swung hitting the robot in the face, the robot didnt move, Leoida took another punch forcing the robot back, he took more punches and kicks in a kung-fu stlye and forced the robot back toward the water. He jumped back as the robot raised its arms again. He jumped to the robot and kicked the robot forcing it back and falling into the water. Without luck a bullet pierced Leoida's shoulder, the robot managed to get off a shot, revealing the symbol J/S incarved in his skin. Leoida saw the robot fall into the water and look away thinking the robot would malfunction in the water.
"Piece of scrap metal, Son of a Bitch, I hate robots...." Leoida was limping toward his sword as his ankles nearly broke from the impact, he kneeled near his sword. The robot flew out of the water nearly 20 feet above Leoida and suprised him. Taking Leoida by suprise it landed directly untop of Leoida staring down on him. Lying in the road Leoida stared at the robot.
"You really should know better!" The robot's arms grew into blades much like daggers, only bigger. The robot enjoyed killing and slowely made way for Leoidas throat. Leoida grabbed for his sword in the road his hand met concrete as he scowered the ground for his sword without looking. Making a last effort to ditch the robot, he grabbed his sword and raised it, swining it with as much force as in Leoidas body, he aimed for the robots neck. The robots head rolled across the ground and Leoida lye on the ground without looking to see if his enemy was dead, the robots body began to fall untop of Leoida.
"Dammit!" The robots body nearly crushed Leoida. He pushed aside the metal scrap and raised limping to a concrete slab of ground. He decided to head back to somewhere safe, a darkened alley he liked and return to often was nearby. He backtracked reaching for his daggers from the robots and ground, soon he took on foot to the alley in the streets a few yards from the bvridge. He reached the alley and sat into a corner, he rested for nearly and hour healing himself, while resting he heard scuffling and screams, he raised his head and look to see 3 men ambushing a women.

Threat Assasin # 1- Chapter 3- Brother's fate
Date: 8 November 2003, 4:59 PM
Chapter 3- Brother's Fate.
Leoida took 3 steps toward toward his next victim.
"You fucking freak stay back! I'll kill her!" A crazed gunman was pointing a gun striaght for a innocent womans head in a darkened alley.
"Think for a second, I killed your 2 friends before they got even 1 shot off, where do you think you're going?"
"I'll pull the-" The crazed man's hand was cut off by Leoida. Before the man could even comprehend what happened he snapped.
"I-I-I'll kill you all! every single one of your people! AHHHHHH No, DAMMIT GET back!" Leoida stood blankly looking straight at the man as he fell into the ground bleeding to death.
"Ahh, what happened? y-y-you? are you h-h-human? you cant be, you just killed those 3 men......stay back!" Leoida drew closer to the woman grabbing her wrists as she screamed.
"Lady! think dammit, I just saved your life! I could've let you die here." The lady stopped screamed and look straight at Leoida, he released her and she grabbed her purse and ran off.
I feel like Superman, or Batman all the sudden, saving peoples lives. Leoida thought as he put away his sword. Leoida could'nt justify the death of the woman if he would just sit there and let them attack her. He pushed the thought away and walked slowely up the sidewalk staring at an oncoming car. In Leoida's mind he imagined the oncoming car in slow motion, he relized something and stopped in his tracks, the car did the same.
"ONI..." Leoida said under his breath. He prepared his daggers for a quick attack when he would turn around. He turned, but did'nt see anything. He looked around, roof to roof, building to building, then to the empty car, all 4 doors open flinging around in the wind.
"Those bastards got something planned for me..." 3 figures dimmed from a alley darkness to the light into his view, he readied his daggers.
"Don't be so hasty, I know, I know, were not the best people you know." Leoida kept an eye on all 3 as they surronded him.
"We need something from you, Most obviously your skillz and ability, as your not that leaniate to give it up, well I have something for you." Leoida quickly relized something, the figure he saw. He replayed the image again in his head. A huge figure mostly muscle more muscle then him. His thoughts were rendered usless when something grabbed him from behind and choked him with its humongous arm.
"Ariston!" Leoida was no stranger to the other lasting experiment besides him.
"So your familiar are you? Time to give it up Leoida. Don't worry we have a- Whoa!" Leoida forced Ariston's grip lose and dashed straight for the ONI spook closest to him, the one talking, with his daggers still in hand. He forced all 3 daggers into the ONI chest bringing them back out staring into Aristons eyes with anger and some compasion.
"You are nothing like me dammit, I won't fall especially to the likes of you. Don't you get it? their just using you!" Leoida thought Ariston was the only experiment like him, he fought his conscience deciding whether or not to kill him,while Leoida was thinking Ariston drew a humongous master sword from his back and into range. Still night out, very few people noticed them.
"Ariston.....you fool" Leoida drew his sword from his side. A japanesse sword with japanesse writing on both sides. One side read- Souls of the evil, and the other side read- Hope of the rest. The sword he gained from his master was not a normal sword, enforced with alloy to make it stronger and durable and stainless, radiactive proof even. His master did'nt teach him to kill the innocent but only the guilty, Leoida had a hard time following this rule with his state of mind formed by ONI. He became a Assasian because it was all he knew, and he needed some money on the side.
"Leoida you either except the offer or die fighting this man!" Another ONI spook pointed to Ariston. Leoida stood still waitin to hear the offer and laugh at them.
"You can still make it good Leoida, Either you come with us and fight like planned or you fight to the death with him."
"Hah! you'd ever expect me to fight for you scums!?" Leoida laughed again thinking of actually fighting the covenant. Ariston raised his blade.
"Leoida it's not to late!" The ONI spook seem to say faster then he could comprehend himself. Ariston soon lowered his blade and started into Leoida eyes.
"I'll never fight for you basta-"
"Not even for you brothers sake?" The ONI spook seem to have been waiting to say these words for some time now.
"WHAT!?" Leoida couldn't believe his ears, everyone that was with his family when he was born were murdered.
"Thats right Leoida, we have a failsafe plan incase you tried to escape, you think we did'nt expect you to leave? Honsetly we aren't that stupid Leoida." Leoida blocked out every word imaginging a brother he never seen before.
"Where is he, if you tell me you may live!" Leoida wasn't thinking smart at all making threats to the last chance of his brothers life.
"So hasty, don't worry you'll find out soon enough, just come with us Leoida."
"How can I even think about trusting you scum?" Ariston grunted to the comment.
"See for yourself." The ONI spook rolled a small device into Leoida's feet. Leoida bent down not taking his eyes off any of them. He pressed the only button on the device. A screen connected to the platform holding the button lite up. He saw images of him and a tube with a baby in it next to him, his was 1 and the other was 2. the next image brought up his family being slaughterd on the screen, outisde during a dark night somewhere unknown, but him and his brother still in test tubes, most likely 3 years old. Some of his relavtives chosse prison over death, and some didn't. The next image showed the camera footage of Leoida breaking out and runnning to the door killing anyone who tried to stop him. His brother still in the other tube next to his broken one. He saw the camaera convert back to his brother and two ONI spooks next to him and talking. One commented on a failsafe plan and getting Leoida back. The other talked about waiting for the right time, supossably now.
"How can I tell he's my brother?!" Just as he spoke a picture arose on the screen of his "Brother" his shirt was torn off of him, as if they have been tourtering him. He looked straight at the picture, he'd never seen his brother before or any of his family for that fact. The words J/S were printed into his shoulder, the same mark on his shoulder. He was so blinded by his "brother's" fate he looked up to the ONI spook.
"If I do this, He lives?"
"Yes, he will and we will let him go to you." Leoida's eyes opened wide and went back to the image of his brother.
"Fine." Leoida never took his eyes off his newly found brother, the only thing he had to live for.

Threat Assasin # 1- Chapter 4- The Plan
Date: 11 November 2003, 4:01 AM
Chapter 4- The Plan
"Your kidding right? Marines?" Leoida glanced at the paper he was holding. It read Bunk 24- Marine Quarters 3. Leoida now wore a marine uniform with his sword sticking out the back of his uniform. He was stripped of his daggers. He had a duffel bag full of supplies he needed for his sword and himself.
"Nope not kidding they stuck you with the marines, you're with the marine core now buddy. Be glad you didnt haveta go through basic." The Marine sitting at the desk seem to wonder why a new arrival had been selected and didn't even go through basic or have any military records.
"Can't believe those bastards stuck me with marines, At least they could've..." Leoida's voice was interrupted by the Marine sergeant of his quarters walking in.
"So, your finnaly here. Well you're with my platoon, Ill tell you the plan once were at the quarters with the rest of the monkeys." The sergeant turned and walked off, Leoida followed. They soon entered the quarters he was to stay at, many Marines made insulting jokes and comments of Leoida's arrival. Leoida walked to a bunk that had a number 24 pasted on the side of the bunk. Leoida took bottom bunk.
"So your with me huh?" A mid sized man around 120 pounds and 5''9' stood infront of Leoida, he had red hair and green eyes.
"Have fun, these guys are real assholes." The marine pointed back to the previous bunks he just passed.
"Don't worry about me." Leoida sat on his bunk feet on the ground. The sergeant walked up to his bunk and turned around to see the others.
"OK you wimps this is our new recruit, its hard to beleive ONI would send somone the day before the attack. Well anyway, as you all know there's a mass of covenant attempting to take the last checkpoint before they reach the U.S. thats right you wimpering bitch's there still in Mexico. Covenant forces have taken over most of southern America and made there way nearly to our front door. The last military stand is right at the border of Mexico and Texas. That about it be prepared and ready for anything. Our platoon and Gullands is the last stand, that makes nearly 80 troops. They've changed the area up a little" A picture came on behind the Sergeant from a projecter a Marine had on his bunk.
"Right, here it is." The pictures flickered and changed to the area they would be fighting in. A huge mettalic plate was made into a gigantic curve, like a hill between two ridges that formed a canyon with a river on both sides of the canyon apparently going through the metallic hill.
"You guys got lucky were posted inbetween a canyon which we've self made for the covenant to fall into. They seem to be advancing on it pretty fast and we've gotta leave ASAP tomorrow, 04:00 hours no later. We'll have snipers at the ridges of the canyon and on the hill. The rest will be at the botom of the hill and in the forest nearly 3 feet infront of the thing." A picture of a forest arose on the wall behind the sergeant. The mettalic hill rested just 3 feet from the forest end. Leoida was thinking of a way to take down ONI from the inside, no bothering listening to the sergeants talking. The sergeant talked for some time before letting the marines rest and get sleep for tomorrows raid on the mettalic hill.
"So your the new one eh? Rookie!" Wrong choice of words, Leoida took the nearby marine smartass and grabbed his collar.
"You lucky I don't whip your sorry ass in front of all these marines right now, so leave me alone before I decide diffrent." Leoida was already angry with the ONI holding his brother and when they put him in the marine core. He wasn't about to let anyone push him any further.
"Told ya, he's a badass, leave em alone dumbfuck." A nearby sergeant spoke from a topbunk near the AC. Leoida set his sword to the side of his bunk with his bag. He stared into the bottom of the top bunk as the marine he met jumped into it causing it to fall closer to Leoida.
"By the way, Names Patrick Houston. You?" Houston waited for a remark and recieved nothing but silence.
"C'mon man least talk to me, I'm not such an asshole." Patrick still recived no answer. Leoida lye still staring at the bottom of the top bunk.
"Just call me Rouge, I prefer to keep my name for thoughs I trust." Leoida knew Houston wasn't about to ask why, and Leoida felt comfortable around him so he let him know his Alias.
"Lights out!" Another marine called out as he hit the switch second before the sergeant walked in.
"Turn the lights on!" Sergeant breathed. A marine followed his order "Ok, Get some sleep now, don't beef around like you usually do, and a word of advice from a trained professional, try not to mess with the new arrival, I would prefer noone getting hurt tonight." The sergeant left and nearly every marine in the quarters stared at Leoida, A marine hit the switch for lights again. He could feel them staring at him still, Leoida didn't apreciate the attention he was getting from arriving at the quarters, he prefered to stay quiet and out of the spotlight. Leoida heard multiple marines whispering about him and laughing as he dozed off and fell asleep.
