the year is 2389.it all started when a boy was born in a evolved family. his name was cyrus anusiya but he had a nickname, john "nightmare".
his father was a phoenix, his mother was a phantom, his older brother was a killing machine, his older sister was the brain over brawn, his younger brother
was the same speed as light, and his younger sister could guess the future...sometimes. a phoenix is the god's agent. his/her job is to kill the people who have to be
killed [like that makes any sense]. after so much time the humanity was indestructable
so god had to send a bullet to their head. a phantom is a creature made by god and under god's control, it can take control of one person at a time, but
anyone's body, including holy beings, and it's immortal, only god and god's agents can kill them by crushing their life crystal. and there has been a sighting of a new creature
made by mistake from god named "white crystal". it's a creature in shape of a human but with no facial structure and a blinding white skin. in the sighting
the creature was wearing a white shirt, a royal blue letterman jacket and jeans, and the form of the body shows that its a male. the evolved is a race of human alikes
who have unnatural powers such as: high jumps, powerful muscles and convertable hands, which they can turn into melee weapons

[look, we'll skip when i was 6 years old since it's very personal and it has nothing to do with our business or phyren]

[so where do we start?]

[when i was 10 years old]

the year is 2399

[xerxes sits john down on a desk]

xerxes: i think you know why we're here
john: i don't want to do it
xerxes: lets see...you don't want to do what?
john: i don't want to kill people
xerxes: why?
john: because it's wrong
xerxes: is killing anyone wrong?
john: yeah
xerxes: anyone?
john: yeah dad! what are you trying to tell me?!
xerxes: not everyone deserves the freedom and pleasure there is in this world
john: i know what you mean, there are bad people...i've had my own share...but i don't have to be the person who kills them
xerxes: if not you, who else?
john: try aryo, he loves that kind of thing
xerxes: that's his problem, he loves it...so he doesn't understand it
john: doesn't understand what?
xerxes: who he's killing and why he's killing them, he just likes doing it and i don't accept that
john: so you jump on the kid who hates doing that?
xerxes: you do hate killing people...anyone at your age does...but don't you want to save the world?
john: how does killing save the world?
xerxes: you've seen a lot of movies, in real life you can't let someone that powerful and ruthless live, they'll take more lives the longer they leave
john: even in prison?
xerxes: you can't put official soldiers and world leaders in prison son
john: so we just kill them?
xerxes: they don't mercy when they don't hesitate killing civilians
john: but we do? you kill hundreds of people everyday, sometimes even unarmed people, you deserve mercy?
xerxes: only because they aren't armed, doesn't mean they are civilians! what did i just say? don't feed the fly or it lays more eggs
john: then put the civilians in prison

[xerxes slams his hand against the desk]

xerxes: we can't just go and put people in prison! that will give the enemy a good reason to attack the civilian districts
john: i am not a murderer
xerxes: you will have to be
john: how are the people from the new zeares holding up? they never killed anyone

[xerxes rubs his forehead in frustration]

xerxes: they are still alive...because the atlas is fighting us! when we're out of the picture, the atlas goes after the new zeares, and then they'll see that
their beliefs are worth nothing when put against the atlas plasma rifle
john: what is this all about anyway? i was teaching garshasp that puzzle, then you just bring me here and say "killing good, mercy bad?"
xerxes: your first fight is next week
john: you said it was next month!
xerxes: yeah...i said that 3 weeks ago
john: damn it! i'm not ready yet
xerxes: the referee isn't going to find that as an excuse, if you don't show up the opponent wins
john: who's my opponent?
xerxes: we don't know
john: what?
xerxes: you don't know your enemy personally in real life, so you have to be ready for anything
john: just tell me he's not one of my brothers or sisters
xerxes: i just told you, you don't know your enemy, but you know a lot about your siblings
john: well that's reassuring
xerxes: you'll start your warm up today
john: again, why me? i don't want to "kill the people who have to be killed" or whatever
xerxes: you're my son, and i am the phoenix, every child of mine has to be trained to become a phoenix
john: so we all become the phoenix? why are you the only one right now?
xerxes: just like the greek legend, there is only one phoenix at a time, so doesn't matter how hard you try, unless you defeat me in the phoenix fight, you
will have to wait for me to die, retire, or be defeated by you
john: so did you defeat anyone?
xerxes: no, i was chosen as the first phoenix
john: and you're still the only phoenix...there's not been any other phoenix? ever?
xerxes: that's right, so if you win the phoenix fights after my retirement or death you will become the second ever phoenix
john: that's a lot of...things...did you choose to become the phoenix?
xerxes: no
john: so you were chosen?
xerxes: you say it like it's some kind of celebrity thing
john: in school people talk a lot about you and how "cool" you are
xerxes: the media is doing it's thing
john: what?
xerxes: in reality, being a phoenix isn't happy go lucky, i can die in every mission and that's it
john: but...but you never were even hurt
xerxes: that is why i'm the phoenix, it's a hard work...a very hard work, and it's not nice either
john: so why do people want to be the phoenix so much?
xerxes: the propaganda, do you really think people would risk their lives in the phoenix fights only to become the miserable ice cold killer?
john: wow...
xerxes: it actually is a very important job, and is something the best of the best must do, but if we explain it in a way only aryo likes, we might not attract
the type of people we need for this position
john: what if we fail to become the phoenix?
xerxes: it will be very embarrassing, but my children aren't the only people who can become the phoenix, everyone, mostly the people from telerius can become
the phoenix, but it's much more appreciated if it's one of my children
john: i get it...it'll be a lot more cooler
xerxes: close...
john: i don't think i can do it though, if there's people as smart as farah, or as tough as aryo, how do i stand a chance?
xerxes: don't question yourself or you will keep walking away from the light, make yourself think you can do it and you will
john: it's that easy?
xerxes: it is, you just have to try...and try hard
john: one more thing...since you know what it's actually like to be a phoenix, why do you want me to become one? don't you want like a bright future ahead of
me?
xerxes: i do want a bright future for you, and that's why i'm doing this, you might not get it now...but in the future you'll thank me
john: why? what's gonna happen?
xerxes: anything can happen and you must be ready for anything
john: i...i don't know...fine...i'll do it

[one week later]

[john enters the arena]

referee: cyrus anusiya enters the arena! son of xerxes anusiya! the phoenix! he is most likely winning this fight!
john: thanks...yeah...
referee: but don't just put your bets on him yet, on the other side of the arena...

[ben enters the arena]

referee: we have ben brown! the champion of the educational heights school's fighting club
john: ben!?

[john runs towards the edge of the ring, where xerxes stands]

john: stop this! he's my best friend
xerxes: at any point in your life you must fight your beloved, now go back into the fight
john: no!
xerxes: GET BACK IN THERE!

[xerxes pushes john back into the ring]

[the crowd boo's at ben]

john: ben...
ben: john?! what the heck?
john: look-
referee: and...here we go!

[referee rings the bell]

ben: forgive me for this john
john: WAIT!

[ben punches john in the face, john falls down]

referee: ooh! that's gotta hurt
xerxes: stop the fight for one second!
referee: looks like the phoenix is wasting the "rest up" the moment the fight got started
xerxes: i have to talk to him
referee: oh...okay
ben: what are you doing?
xerxes: get away for a second kid

[xerxes grabs john]

xerxes: what do you think you're doing?
john: he's...he's my friend dad
xerxes: and now look at him, he broke your nose
john: i...don't-
xerxes: no, he's going to kill you if you don't fight back...get up

[xerxes pulls john up]

xerxes: make yourself proud
john: by murder?
xerxes: by success

[xerxes gets out of the ring]

tina: you can do this john!
xerxes: he knows it tina
tina: i'm not gonna let my son get his nose broken like that, i'm his mother for god's sake
xerxes: right...

[they get back in position]

referee: alright...here we go!

[the referee rings the bell]

[ben runs towards john]

[john jumps around ben and kicks his leg, making him fall]

john: just like dad!

[john jumps on ben and rolls him over]

[ben punches john again, but this time john keeps his balance]

[john shoves ben's hand to the ground with his leg]

[john starts punching ben's face]

[ben's face becomes swollen]

referee: don't you think he needs to take a rest up?
judge: he has to confirm, yet john isn't giving him the chance to do so

[john keeps punching ben's face]

referee: john stop! let him get to chance to have a rest up
john: fine!

[john gets off ben]

xerxes: just what are you doing?
john: the ref said i shou-

[ben grabs john's neck]

xerxes: this is unfair
referee: now ben also used his rest up

[ben starts choking john]

[john's face slowly turns red]

[john keeps punching ben's face, but ben won't stop]

xerxes: STOP!
referee: xerxes please step back
xerxes: JOHN! DO SOMETHING!

[john looks at xerxes]

ben: i hope you understand john

[john's eyes start glowing]

ben: what the-

[john throws ben away]

referee: WOAH!

[john grabs ben's skull]

ben: AHHH! PLEASE! WAI-

[censored]

[john's eyes go back to normal]

[john let's go of ben's body]

referee: my...god...

[john looks at his hands, they are covered in blood]

john: what...did i just do...

[john limps towards ben's body]

[the crowd cheers]

[john sheds a tear before passing out from exhaustion]

xerxes: john!

[the medics enter the ring]

xerxes: take care of him!
medic: what about ben?
xerxes: he's already dead

[the medics check john]

medic: um...doc? near all of his muscles and bones are broken
doc: bring him to tina
medic: but she's not a doctor
doc: that's what she wants, now do it

[they exit the arena]

[farah throws up]

aryo: get a hold of yourself
farah: didn't you just see what happened?
aryo: yeah so what? yipeeyay he killed someone in the arena, like that's something rare
farah: the way-whatever, there's no point talking to you
aryo: suit yourself
farah: dad, what the heck?
xerxes: what?
farah: you taught him to do that?
xerxes: don't make a big deal out of it kid
farah: "don't make a big deal out of it"? his body is broken!
xerxes: i can see that
farah: bah...i can't believe you all...what is tina going to do?
xerxes: i don't know
farah: you don't?
xerxes: she's your mother for christ's sake, you don't trust her?
farah: she doesn't have a medical license, what is she going to do? magic?
xerxes: probably

[the medbay]

[john wakes up]

john: shi...ben...
tina: don't talk
john: wha...
tina: stop talking

[john looks at his body, most of it is purple for internal bleeding]

john: am i going to die?
tina: [chuckles]

[tina injects a green serum to john's body]

[john's body gets revived]

john: freaking what?!
tina: it's this green liquid xerxes brought, it revives your body
john: you just kept something like this in the dark? do you know how many people can live because of it?
tina: there's only one serum left now, and we haven't found any way to produce it, so if the world knew about this, they all would want the last serum, there
would be war
john: over a serum?
tina: there has been bloody wars over an island, a serum that revives your body isn't just going to start a war, it's going to start the doomsday
john: so you just wasted a serum that can start the doomsday on me?
tina: we still have one more, and hey...if it runs out before the world knows about it nothing will happen
john: yeah! but if we try to mass produce this thing, i don't think anybody dies ever again
tina: yeah...but-

[xerxes enters the room]

xerxes: you heard enough...don't celebrate, the press is going to milk you dry if you do
john: why?
xerxes: kid you just killed someone...is that supposed to be normal?
john: you always kill people...and you taught me why just last week
xerxes: yeah but you're not the phoenix are you?
john: right...

[aryo enters the room]

aryo: come on little kiddo

[aryo picks john up]

aryo: time to part-
xerxes: no
aryo: why?
xerxes: i just told you, people aren't going to be happy if we celebrate another kid's death
aryo: well done john, you killed him good
john: shut up...
aryo: no i admire that john, well done
john: i know what you admire you psycho

[john pushes aryo away]

john: what is wrong with you all? i just killed my best friend and you say lets celebrate? and you say keep it calm? and you just waste a serum that can save
the world on me? jesus!
aryo: dad? i think you should reconsider
xerxes: quite the opposite, see you love killing...so you do it recklessly, but if john has to do it, he'll think about it
john: for goodness sake!

[xerxes slaps john]

xerxes: watch your mouth...don't get ahead of yourself

[john bursts into tears and runs out of the room]

tina: what the heck is wrong with you?

[tina leaves the room]

xerxes: [looks at aryo] so what do you think?
aryo: he needs to toughen up, he's a bit soft
xerxes: call zealot

[xerxes throws aryo's flask in the air]

[aryo catches it]

xerxes: and control your addiction, i like it, it's classy but you have to keep it in control
aryo: sure dad
xerxes: you're already drinking...who am i trying to fool?

[dang...that's rough]

[so you know about how i killed the first person in my life...what else?]

[what exactly happened in 2408]

the year is 2408

[john enters the mansion]

john: mom? dad?

[john enters the living room]

john: hey have you seen mom? or dad?
arta: wait you don't know where they are?
john: i was hoping you guys knew
garshasp: probably on a super secret mission or something
john: let me call the intercom...

[john turns on his communicator]

john: intercom? where's xerxes?
intercom: *say again?*
john: where's dad? xerxes anusiya?
intercom: *we have no valid intel on his location right now*
john: at least tell me what he's doing
intercom: *come to the fidelity prime, we can't talk about this topic on the communicator*
john: looks like we got a good reason to finally get inside that ship...or whatever you can call it
farah: are we really doing this?
aryo: lets go

[they exit the mansion]

john: their ship isn't here, we gotta hire one...call it in

[5 minutes later]

[they enter the ship]

john: to the FP
driver: you got it

[moments later]

driver: name's marcus
john: john...pleasure to meet you
aryo: why are we introducing ourselves?
farah: show some manners
aryo: he's...whatever...aryo
farah: i'm farah, that's garshasp and arta
marcus: i'm sorry for asking but why are you going to fidelity prime?
john: it doesn't involve you
marcus: wouldn't you be looking for your parents or something right now
aryo: STOP THE SHIP!

[the ship stops]

[aryo draws his knife to marcus's neck]

aryo: how do you know our parents are missing? there's nothing on the news
marcus: i...i...
aryo: talk!
raul: that's called gathering intel

[raul pulls arta out of the ship and takes her as a human shield]

raul: now you let the driver go...and we can talk this out
john: let her go first
raul: nah...
arta: just do what he says!
aryo: GAH DANG IT!

[aryo leaves marcus]

raul: now all of you, get out of the ship
john: we freed marcus, now you leave arta
raul: look kid, i let her go and i'm dead meat...get out
garshasp: lets just get out! arta's gonna die
john: he wouldn't risk it man

[they exit the ship]

raul: patrol the area
marcus: got it

[the ship flies away]

raul: alright...just so you know you'll need me

[raul leaves arta]

[the group aim their guns at raul]

john: give me a good reason not to blow your head off...come on
raul: fine...your mommy and daddy aren't home are they?
john: how do you know that?
raul: what matters is i know it, how i know it doesn't matter
john: it does
raul: then i don't care

[the reactor station's owner exits the shop]

owner: oh my god!
raul: just get back to the station, people are gonna need those reactors
john: get out, we got this under control
raul: sure you do...okay...lets make a deal
john: we're all aiming our guns at you, and you want to bargain?
raul: yeah...because the FP doesn't know jackshit
john: whatever you say
raul: you can waste your time...or you can let me talk
john: [looks at farah]
farah: lets just see what he wants
raul: at least someone has brains
john: just talk
raul: look...i need you to get someone for me
john: who exactly?
raul: the "white crystal"
john: are you out of your mind?!
raul: nah...
john: you expect us to do that?
raul: when it comes to loved ones, you would do anything
john: right...why do you need him?
raul: it doesn't involve you
john: we can't just go looking for him unless it's authorized
raul: then just tell them you want the bounty
john: the phoenix's kids want money?
raul: they don't question it...don't worry
john: so what do you say?
farah: anything to get them back
raul: that's the spirit, i can lead you in the direction
john: wait, why won't you do it?
raul: because i want to live, who knows? maybe you just die the moment white crystal sees you
john: okay, how can you lead us in the-
raul: ask the FP, they don't know anything about your parents...but it turns out they know about the crystal, don't you think somethi-
john: got it, where will we find you?
raul: no need to be a jerk about it kid...i'll find you...don't worry

[raul slowly walks away while the group aim their guns at him]

john: alright, holster them...we got a job to do

the year is 2500 [present]

[the POV goes to the atlas base, as john is being held captive and questioned]

05: wait...who's raul?
john: that's where it gets intresting
05: just tell me who he is
john: he's related to your phyren project
05: okay...move on

the year is 2408

[the team is at the fidelity prime orbit]

arta: my god...
john: how did they even get enough metal to make that?
farah: it's two times the size of the sun...most of it is probably not populated
intercom: *yeah, most of the area is controlled by A.I, but we have no use for them*
john: so you make something super big that you don't even know what to do with it?
intercom: *tell me about it*

the year is 2500

05: enough with finding your parents, what happened to the raul guy?
john: we're getting there
05: just skip the stupid parts

the year is 2408

raul: so nice to meet you again kid
john: turns out the white crystal was last sighted here, so he must be around
raul: why aren't you looking for him?
john: then who's gonna watch you
raul: it's not like-oh...you don't trust me do you?
john: you were the one who took arta hostage...that's a footprint
raul: mind trying the scent?
john: [stares at raul in cringe]
raul: yeah

[raul drops down the ledge]

raul: i'm not really good at jokes...but i make it up in skills
john: what aspect?
raul: lying...secrets...
john: yeah right...like it's gonna stay like that
raul: i'll disappear from reality when you find the white crystal before you know it
raul: we'll see
john: hush...

[they hide behind the bush]

john: damn...that's really him
raul: holy crap...hit the jackspot huh? be seeing you!

[raul sneaks away from the area]

john: hey...get back here damn it...
the white crystal: you can come out now
john: jesus!
the white crystal: why the scared impression? i'm not even looking at you kid
john: how did you even...
the white crystal: well where are my manners? let me introduce myself...i am the white crystal, but my buddies call me that guy
john: "that guy"?
that guy: deal with it
john: who are you?
that guy: are you deaf? i just told you
john: yeah i know...what...are you?
that guy: there's no point talking to you is there? look i know you're looking for your mommy and daddy-

[john shoots that guy, nothing happens]

that guy: seriously?!
john: what is this?
that guy: you just shot at me!

[that guy grabs john's neck]

that guy: and you kno-oh...it's you

[that guy lets go of john]

that guy: i thought you'd make a better first impression cyrus
john: wha-how do you know my name?!
that guy: wait...you're...my my...

[that guy goes silent for a moment]

that guy: lord have mercy on you kid, you don't know what you're into now
john: what are you talking about?
that guy: it is i!

[80s disco music plays in the background after neon lights appear out of nowhere]

that guy: the fearless fear! here to save your world from eternal doom!

[john steps back in shock]

that guy: heh sorry kid...i've just really been waiting to give a proper introduction...you know all the other fellas before you already knew about me
john: what "other fellas"?
that guy: i'm already spoiling the story aren't i? i mean...if i were to tell you what's gonna happen in this story nobody would want to see the rest of it...
yes, i'm talking about you ladies and gentlemen reading this behind the monitor...or phone screen...or whatever you're using
john: what are you talking about? are you high?
that guy: yes! high in knowledge that is
john: you're weird...uhh, do you know where my parents are?
that guy: [snaps his finger] yes! and no!
john: what?
that guy: i love playing with you kid...you might just be my favorate
john: stop talking in riddles and nonsense! do you know where my parents are?!
that guy: i think that raul friend of your would know
john: you already know my plans, then you must kno-
that guy: YES! YES I KNOW WHERE YOUR PARENTS ARE KID! JESUS CHRIST!
john: woah...
that guy: but...hey if i were to tell you right now you wouldn't go on a exciting adventure making new friends and discovering secrets would you?
john: my head is starting to hurt...will you shut up?
that guy: of course, but not because you told me to...

[they exit the area]

john: so why are you wanted by the goverment?
that guy: because one single snap and your "reality" will be a myth
john: you're joking
that guy: look! i can break the laws of physic and gravity!

[that guy turns into spaghetti and floats in the air]

that guy: F- YOU GALILEO GALILEI! F- YOU ISAAC NEWTON!
john: can you stop screaming?
that guy: wait this isn't facinating to you?
john: the first time i saw you doing something unnatural yeah...but now it's normal, you're special or whatever
that guy: well that's disappointing

[they reach the group]

aryo: woah woah! stay back!
john: it's okay, he's friendly
farah: can we take your word as granted?
john: when did i ever lie?
farah:...good point

[the group lower their guard]

aryo: so who are you?
that guy: it is i!
john: stop...don't...
that guy: gah...fun police
john: why are you so childish?
that guy: it's not called childish, it's called being careless
john: so...why are you so careless?
that guy: because i don't care, yeah that's the definition...but since i can't die, and i can do anything, your normal concerns don't mean anything to me
john: so you always have fun? all the time?
that guy: that's...kinda true, but right now i don't have any fun
communicator: -.- . .. - .... / .- - .-.. .- ... / ... --- .-.. -.. .. . .-. / .... .- ... / .. -. - . .-..
john: what the...
farah: keith...atlas...soldier has intel, keith atlas soldier has intel
john: it must be raul right?
farah: probably, i don't think anyone is using the morse code this days...apart from those mysterious ones
that guy: and the adventure begins now

[the group comes back to the FP]

jessica: you brought him here?!
john: what were we supposed to do? lock him up in a basement or something?
jessica: well just don't bring him here...dang
john: look, we got something
jessica: anything apart from him?
john: a guy named keith...do you know anything about him?
jessica: yeah...let me check...

[jessica turns on the monitor]

jessica: keith...keith...keith zakabus...atlas agent, what does he have to do with this?
john: it looks like he knows where my parents are

the year is 2500

05: look john...i'm just going to tell you one more time, you either tell me the parts where phyren is related, or the parts where it's very important, your
family's disappearance is NOT important
john: but it'll get you on the edge of your seat
05: i don't care!
john: fine...i think this part'll matter

atlas guard: what are you doing here?
john: such a sweet welcome, we are the evolved leaders, we are the pheonix's kids, let us in
manticore: no need to introduce ourselves man
john: we have to talk to their leaders, and why are you ashamed of who we are?
manticore: you are blowing our cover, and besides, he is just a guard
john: "blowing our cover"? we are here to negotiate, this is not a covert op
manticore: you're the boss
guard: leave your weapons at the door
john: you do know our hands are blades, right?
guard: just the guns
john: fine

[again, they go in]

[that guy leaves, manticore and john follow 05]

05: here we are, this is our inteligence center, only read the one related to your parents
john: that might be a bit hard
05: fine, just wanted to-
manticore: i'm walking out, i can't take this
john: where are you going?
manticore: there is a lot of intel here and i can't keep my hands away from them
05: glad to know you understand how important they are
john: so where is the intel i'm looking for?
05: here, just take it, don't touch anything else
john: ok, holy crap!
05: yes?
john: no, nothing
05: uhh, ok i guess, you got no more business here, so leave
john: sure thing i-i'll leave
05: ...

[john leaves the atlas HQ]

manticore: what did you get?
john: our parents wanted to go on a war with atlas, for some reason, i guess atlas found out and just abducted them, don't you think?
manticore: sounds likely
john: so i guess we should follow their path, atlas must have done something, the intelligence center wasn't protected
manticore: but it has cameras all over it
john: we just need to survive while we find what we need there
that guy: guess who's back? if you need to infiltrate a base, why didn't you tell me?
john: what are you going to do about it?
that guy: phantoms...
john: oh right, how many of them are there?
that guy: only two, your mom and this other guy who doesn't have a name
john: only two?
that guy: yeah, god only sends two phantoms at a time
john: then that means my mom is still alive, right?
that guy: yeah guess so
john: where is the other one?
that guy: i know where he is, but he is a real tool, it will be hard to convince him
john: ok whatever

[they go to the second phantom]

phantom: that guy? i heard you were hanging out with fregeta but i didn't believe it, what made you hang out with this losers?
that guy: i owe them something, and i'm paying back the favor
john: watch your altitude
phantom: or what?
john: i got hold of your crystal, your life is in my hands.
phantom: only agents can do that
john: well, whatever, now are you going to help us?
phantom: sheesh, fine, what do you need?
john: it's a long story

[he explains the story and the job]

phantom: ok, i'll do it, but you'll owe me one
that guy: i'm sorry
phantom: i don't blame you, your friends are some real losers

[phantom is in the base]

93645: ok, warp was a success, where is the intel center?
john: it's where 05 hangs out
93645: got it
05: yes?
93645: i need your body pal
05: excuse me?

[phantom warps to 05's body]

05: the body is alerted, i gotta hurry
john: ok, bring all the data in the evolved section
05: why not the others?
john: because we have no time for that idiot
05: where is the evolved section?
john: to your left, then a right
05: uhhh...ok i got it, there it's all of them
john: now make a scene and get out of there
05: alright, i'm transfering the files to you now
john: hurry!
05: "93645 attacked 05 and destroyed all the evolved data, and left a note saying it will be the start of the war"
john: ok...now come back

[phantom warps out of 05's body and leaves]

[present]

05: so that is what that happened, wasn't it?
john: so you got what you wanted?
05: no i haven't, we haven't reached the project ph-
john: yeah yeah whatever
05: let's get to it shall we?

the year is 2408

phantom: so that's it, i'm leaving now
john: will we see each other later?
phantom: i hope not
arta: we won't, but john will, i guess...i saw you two together
phantom: what are you on about?
arta: i don't have a full explanation of what just happened, sorry
john: the intel we have is good enough, i should bring them to jessica, she might unlock them
farah: works for me

[they go to jessica's home, actually only john goes]

[just be serious please]

john: hey, can you open the door please?
jessica: what do you want?
john: it's business
jessica: ok, come in i guess
john: don't get mad at me, but i stole some atlas data
jessica: you did what?!
john: let me expl-
jessica: get out of my house, or i'm calling the police
john: just listen-
jessica: get the fu-
john: IT'S WHAT MY PARENTS WANTED!!!
jessica: JESUS!!...what did you just say?
john: it was in their database, now will you let me explain?
jessica: they're right, you actually do all you can to find your parents
john: we don't have time for this
jessica: how did you do it?
john: i used a phantom
jessica: a phantom? like tina?
john: yeah, we did it in a way so that they think it was just a rebel
jessica: ok... what is in the data?
john: i thought you could open it
jessica: sorry to inform you that i'm not a atlas head scientist
john: so who can unlock them?
jessica: your hostage keith?
john: he is our friend, and he is only a merc
jessica: what about the place the search team failed to search?
john: good idea, i'll search that place, you try to open the data
jessica: i'll try...

[john goes to the location]

john: wait, the search team's dead bodys are killed by a plasma projectile, it's just given to high ranks

[john goes further through]

computer: please input the code
john: uhh, atlas
computer: wrong, 2 more chances and the files are wiped out
john: shoot!
computer: wrong, 1 more chance and the files are wiped out

[john slowly walks away and calls farah]

john: i need you here farah
farah: *kinda busy here with the aniworld*
john: it's more important, i need your help to find our parents
farah: *uhh, ok i'm coming*
john:: hurry

[10 minutes later]

farah: i'm here
john: took your time...what do you think is the code of that computer?
farah: let me take a closer look
john: shut up! don't talk when next to it, it will take any word as a password
farah: ok, its a 3000p computer, i can open it without the password, but it will take some time
john: what was that sound?
farah: the rebels
john: no...this guys are organized, are they the real atlas soldiers?
farah: what's in this computer is more important then their rank, cover me while i hack it
john: got it

[john kills all the privates except the elite]

john: surrender and you will be spared.
atlas elite: surrender my butt

[john is shot in the shoulder]

john: ARGHHH!! HOW DID IT PIERCE ME?!
atlas elite: plasma cannons are powerful, don't you know?
john: THIS IS IMP-IMPOSSIBLE!! I CAN't DIE LIKE THIS!
atlas elite: looks like a bad ending doesn't it?
manticore: for you maybe!

[manticore turns atlas elite into a pile of blood]

farah: where were you mant?!
manticore: oh i'm sorry that i was sleeping and had no idea about this, why are you on that computer while john is dying?
farah: i was shocked too you idiot
john: shut up farah, i was dying and you just stood there, thanks mant, uhh...
manticore: he is bleeding out, at least help him now
farah: okay...got it, the computer is unlocked
manticore: FARAH!!
farah: ok i'm getting there
john: far-ah, you are annoying, you kn-ow that?
manticore: i know she is john, but don't talk you gotta keep your energy
garshasp: where are you guys-FOR GOODNESS SAKE!! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
manticore: thanks to farah, john is dying
farah: it's not m-
garshasp: let me get the reviver
farah: but there are only two left, we can't clone them yet
manticore: SHUT UP!! get the reviver now
garshasp: on it

[garshasp gets the reviver and revives john]

farah: god... now that that's done, i'll get to the computer
john: just get out of my face
farah: i wasn't thinking straight...
manticore: yeah right, straight enough to get that thing open
john: just leave, all of you, i'll take care of the rest
garshasp: did just some "atlas elite corps" attack you?
john: i'll think about that later, take some pictures of them and take the guns, we need some proof before we start a war with atlas

[fregata leaves]

john: ok, let's see what you got for me
05: i wouldn't touch that
john: what the heck?!
05: leave now, if you want to save your parents lagecy
john: my parents wanted me to do this, thanks to your intel
05: so you did it...
john: i'm impressed to see you found out so fast
05: you want to start a war with us? the most powerful race in the galaxy-
john: that we know about, yes i do
05: your parents were stupid, and that is why they disappeared
john: you killed them?!
05: believe me at least this time, that we don't know what is going on just like you
john: i believe you, now if you excuse me, i have some intel to extract
05: over my dead body
john: and i thought you were smart
01: 05, leave him be, we got more important things to do
05: but sir, the computer
01: i said leave, and hey, he almost died for it, he earned it
john: did you send the elite corps?
01: i wanted to know how much you needed those intels, and i got my answer
john: are you insane?
01: it's just like a game for me, i'll just do experiments on people to amuse myself
john: so you just wasted your elite corps to entertain yourself?
01: i personally think it was worth it, now if you excuse me, i have to go
john: you can't just walk away from this, what happens to your galaxy?
01: just some rebels tried to start a war, and also why do you care?
05: uhh sir...
01: lets go 05, we got some things to do, some "important" things
john: like what?
01: that doesn't involve you

[01 and 05 leave]

john: wow, just wow, what exactly is in that computer anyway?
that guy: when did you start to talk to yourself?
john: are you stalking me??
that guy: i was stalking them
john: right, let's check that computer now huh?
that guy: let's
john: there is a lot of things here, but none of them are related to xerxes nor tina
that guy: maybe 05 was actually telling the truth. also if you are starting a war with them, you should have their intel
john: yeah maybe they become useful in the future
that guy: let's get out of here, this place stinks
john: you scared?
that guy: i'm literal, there is a lot of dead bodies here, and it smells
john: oh ok

[they leave]

[present]

05: so how was it in my body?
john: i didn't do it, phantom did, ask him
05: oh...right...intresting
john: what is it?
05: oh nothing, can i have another tea please?
913823: green or black?
05: you know it
john: isn't it hard to call the soldiers with low rank?
05: not really when you are a 05
john: thank god i'm not then
05: you do you, i don't care, continue with the stupid story, and skip the unrelated parts, we are not here to listen to your life story, we are here to
learn about projec-
john: but i'm just getting started
05: just tell me what is project "phyren"
john: trust me, if you want to know what that project is, you have to listen to the whole story
05: then tell me, what does your brother buying a bike with 30k credits have to do with the phyren?
john: meh, maybe a bit off course there
05: listen, we are being polite with you only because we don't want a war, not now, so hurry up
john: do i look like i want one?
05: honestly, yes you do
john: lets get a bit back huh?
05: why?
john: don't you want to know how i lost my innocense
05: i'm intrested, go ahead

john: but phoenixs don't torture people
zealot: you're here to lose your innocense you idiot
unkown: please!
zealot: do it!

[john kicks unknown's knees but they don't break]

john: oh my god!
zealot: harder

zealot: DO IT NOW!
john: but i'm weak
zealot: then use a bar or a bat!

john: BUT WHY?!
zealot: do it!

[john burns the civilian]

[john just stares]

civilian: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

[john just stares]

[the civilian's body slowly becomes lifeless]

zealot: now that that's done, lets tell this to your daddy shall we?

[john is still staring at the body]

zealot: hey, do you hear me? are you there?

[john shows no response]

zealot: come on let's go

[zealot grabs john and leaves]

xerxes: how was your first kill?

[john just stares]

zealot: he broke someone's knees and burned them alive, but he isn't talking
xerxes: he understands, thanks zealot
zealot: it's my pleasure, literally
xerxes: i know

[zealot gives john a spicy candy and leaves]

xerxes: you're going to be ok

[john just stares]

xerxes: let's go now

[present]

05: where's zealot now?
john: i can still hear that man's screams
05: i don't care, where is zealot?
john: why do you care? you just want phyren
05: i ask, and you answer, nothing more
john: and what if i don't?
05: then you just regret being born
john: i don't have time for threatenings, just say what you want
05: i've told you many times, phyren
john: then we are going to be here for a mighty long time

the year is 2408

john: what you got for me jessica?
jessica: literally nothing, none of the datas are related to the disapearance
arta: dang!
garshasp: so if atlas doesn't know nothing about them, then what happened to them?
manticore: maybe they are just hiding somewhere
farah: and they wouldn't say anything to us?
manticore: the safest way possible is to not tell anybody
tv:...a giant explosion destroys atlas's HQ as two soldiers walk away from the dust
john: mom? dad?
manticore: i wouldn't be so sure...
xerxes: you should be
john: what the heck?! where have you been?
tina: watch your mouth
manticore: really? where were you?
xerxes: just like you said, we were hiding
tina: more like a stealth mission
farah: and you didn't tell us? do you know what we've done?
xerxes: yes, we do, and we are proud of all of you, and i'm sorry we didn't told you about it
tina: it was the safest way
john: i just can't believe it
xerxes: you don't need to, we are here now

[present]

05: THAT IS ENOUGH, WHERE IS PHYREN?!
john: relax

the year is 2409

[john's family sing happy birthday for him]

john: thank god you were here, i just can't think of a birthday without my family
tina: thats why we tried to do the mission so fast
xerxes: there was some problems because of it, but they were worth it
garshasp: i guess it's time for the presents
xerxes: that's right
farah: i finally made a aniworld generator 6km/m3 wide, and i give it to you, you should open the aniworld
garshasp: here is my ship, you can take it, it can reach light speed in less then 10 seconds
arta: i didn't buy you any present, but i give you a precentage of my power

[john gets dizzy for a second]

manticore: here's a chain, it's exclusive for phoenixs, built it myself
xerxes: here you go, its a revolver with 7 rounds that can kill anything with one shot, and a indistructable armor for the dessert
tina: here is the last reviver, i'm sure you use it when it is needed the most
john: that's a lot...wow...
manticore: yeah...
john: i can't ever thank you enough

[present]

05: YOU YOU LOSER, SKIP ALL THIS PARTS NOW!
john: or what?

[05 zaps john]

05: OR THAT HAPPENS! NOW WHAT HAPPENED TO PHYREN?
john: AAHHHH! ALRIGHT ALRIGHT!

zealot: just like how i taught you
john: i got it
arta: how's the big man doing?
john: a bit stressed, i'm afraid i'll fail
arta: ...uhh
john: what?
arta: i'm feeling something
john: what are you talking about?
arta: wait, wait, WAIT! WE ARE GOING TO DIE?
tina: i got the cake ready, come here
arta: NO WAIT!

[an explosion ensues, the whole planet gets wiped out]

[john is fallen to the space with only his head attached to his chest, his suit deploys, he is screaming in pain]

[next day]

[john is still in space, but he has fainted]

[a purple/white ship comes close]

[life support machine is beeping faster then usual]

unknown: he's waking up, knock him out
unknown: but isn't that what we want?
unknown: he is not ready yet...

[life support comes back to normal and john passes out]

[three weeks later]

unknown: he is waking up again
unknown: let him wake up, he is ready now

[john gets up, a new cybernetic body is attached to him]

john: uhh...MOM!
unknown: relax, get some energy
john: my family, MY FAMILY!!! THEY EXPLODED! EVERYTHING JUST EXPLODED! WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM?!
unknown: we don't know yet, but there was no survivors but you
john: WHAT?! THIS CAN'T BE!!
unknown: now get up, we need a lot of explanation to do
john: WHERE ARE THEY? WHERE IS MY FAMILY?
unknown: it's not confirmed, but i think they are dead
unknown: they are dead...there is no life response there anymore
john: it must be another stealth mission my parents started, it must be, it must be...
unknown: i'm sorry
unknown ai voice: stop whining, it's done
john: wha...w...
unknown: ok, you need to understand everything, i'm cortana, this is venissa and that voice inside you is jackson
venissa: you don't have to tell him our real names
cortana: too late sister
jackson: you know it wasn't my choice
john: i can't take this...is this a dream?
jackson: no, it's as real as it could be
venissa: ok listen, when we found you, you were nearly dead, just a head and half a chest
cortana: so we gave you some cybernetic parts, and a self aware A.I named jackson to help you in your journey
john: what journey?! where is my family?!
jackson: dead!
john: no, they're no-
venissa: THEY ARE! god...listen, you need to get yourself together, we are in a war, and the last thing we need is you turning against us
john: why did you save me, why didn't you just let me die?
venissa: because we are humans? not cold bastards like some of you

[john tries to break out of the place but fails]

venissa: oh and yeah, you don't have your super powers anymore, you gotta give it some time to get them back
john: what is going on here? where is star?

[present]

05: who?
john: you said skip
05: just tell me who she is

the year is 2415

john: i hate golfing, it's one of the most stupid sports in the world
manticore: i don't like it either, but we got nothing else to do
intercom: *fregata, we have a civilian at a warzone, bring them to safety*
john: this is nightmare, on it
manticore: just great, why shouldn't i do it?
john: you were late, enjoy the golf, see you later
manticore: pfft...

[john reaches the warzone]

john: ma'am i need you to leave this place now

01: you'll pay for that
that guy: oh, so you finally broke character, such a moment

that guy: he's dead, beat it
05: you will pay for this!
that guy: i don't need to
atlas soldier: hit the dirt!

[that guy shoots another beam]

05: no, you will...
john: *that guy, are you ok?*
that guy: the last thing i need is to see you worry about me
john: *that means yes i guess, garshasp is ok, where will we meet?*
that guy: i have some unfinished business with someone, i'll be back

[a holy portal opens and closes after that guy passes through it]

john: what the...garshasp, are you alright?
garshasp: ARTA! HELP ARTA NOW! GO!
john: right, i forgot, take care of him
medic: sir, your friend, star is asking for you

star: took your time, you should know, when a girl calls you, they want to tell you something important
john: i was saving my family
star: oh, ok, sorry
john: what is it you want to say?
star: why did you save me back there?
john: uhh, because we are the fregeta, it's our job...not that you're someone special
star: you really cared, i heard you screaming through the intercom, why?
john: i don't know uhh...i have some kind of disorder...i feel really miserable when i fail to save people...fear of failure...some kind of phobia
manticore: or maybe you are just a simp
star: can you please leave us alone?
manticore: afraid not...
john: sorry, he can be crappy sometimes...so where is your family? why aren't they here yet?
star: that's...that's because they were captured
john: you get drunk and fight random atlas soldiers when your family disappears? intresting...
star: i was trying to help them, then you came
john: help them? how exactly?
star: don't worry, i'll take care of it
john: i want to save them, where are they?
manticore: why though?
john: my phobia! go ask my doctor
manticore: let me handle it eh?
john: i think xerxes really needs an explanation on what happened back there
manticore: surely the leader of an army has a lot of intel on what goes on around him...also most of your bones broke when 03 attacked you...you can't
fight
john: just let me be...for christ's sake no wonder you're always the lone kid in school
manticore: i would be a irresponsible older brother if i let my little brother go do something when he's hurt...i'm calling for a shuttle
john: great...
