The Rise of Jacob Keller

[Leo]

The door to the penthouse opened up and immediately the wall behind me was scarred with weapons fire. I ducked and rolled behind one of the pillars inside the fat man's interior room.

"Ah, Keller. The proclaimed leader of the coup. I should have known it would have been you after these past few years. Tell me, how are you feeling?" said the fat man.

"I'm feeling fine, thank you. I'll feel better after I slaughter you as I should have done years ago."

The fat man made the house "tsk tsk tsk" with his mouth. "You know, Jacob, I always liked you. You had a way with words and bullets. Something like that is so rare these days you know. You're so agile and fast, you would have made an amazing assassin--"

"I already am an amazing assassin, fat a**, you just never got the Children any missions. You prefer to keep yourself lathered in money and whores."

"Those women are my wives!"

"That's what I said, whores."

"Kill this bastard!" he screamed, I replied in turn. I heard the sound of weapons locking; I activated my internal sensors and used the sounds in the room to indentify where each guard was located. The fat man was leaving his "throne room" for one of the other rooms in the back, I could hear his footsteps from here, there were 12 guards in the room, and each located in different places. I identified the ones closest to me and spun around the pillar, shooting two of them in the head and ducking back around the pillar opposite to me, weapons fire scarred the wall where I just was.

"My name...is Jacob Renault Keller! Nothing can keep you safe from me! I will find you, I will destroy you...I will make you rue the day you attacked me and my men...you will never see me coming, I am a ghost in the night, I am the assassin...I am Jacob Keller!" I screamed and spun around the opposite side of the pillar facing the wall and shot three more of the guards with precision. "You cannot win against me, drop your weapons now and join the true Children of Conviction. We will cause such a terror in Sirius that even the pirates will bow down before us, the houses will fear us, and the pirates will worship us! Do so now, and you will be spared and forgiven for your trespasses against me...or continue this charade and die with the cold steel in your hands. The choice is yours."

I waited for a moment and heard one of the guards reply.

"Die, Keller."

"Your loss, idiot." I said aloud and activated the flash bangs on my suit as I came around the corner, the guards screamed and covered their eyes, I switched my rifles over to auto and sprayed the room down, killing the remaining guards who blocked my path to the fat man. I stood there for a moment, looking over the dead bodies and sighed..."If you had only done as I asked..." I said a silent prayer to whatever god they worshiped and made my way towards the back room.

As I approached the door, I knew something was wrong right away...but I kept walking towards the door like an idiot, my weapons drawn, both low on ammo from swapping to automatic. As I was within three feet of the door, the entire wall around the door exploded, sending me reeling back into the elevator doors some 50 feet away, I groaned and stood up, the elevator doors dented completely in. Standing in front of me, was the fat man, operating a giant mech, its weapons pointed directly at me.

"Lets see if your suit can survive this...'Archangel'."

You fear oblivion. Yet you forget. The universe remembers every atom of your being. Even dust hums your name in the dark.
