Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Coincidence: Prologue

The Orange-red sun rose across the horizon, painting the sky and sea with a blood red warmth. The vibrant light roars like wild fire as the sun continues to rise. As it's brightening glow revel an island with a huge mountain on it, flying over head reveals a large crater with orange liquid pouring into giant mechanical geo power plants. Solar farms dot some of the island, along it's coast are wind farms harnessing the summer morning breeze that lapped and pushed against the never moving concrete of another beach separate from the volcano island.

The breeze lapped up over the concrete of the beach to reveal a huge land mass with mountains and forests going beyond the horizon. Stood in front of the multitude of mountains and forests, was a giant city. The city was teeming with life, skyscrapers that ever seemed to be growing closer to touching the non existing heavens of the sky. Cars floating down the roads, some speeding in race tracks dotted around the city, buses that seemed to hold more people than it looked. Apartment buildings seemed to be joining the heavens race, looking like giants, some were just as big as an average house, one of these buildings was on fire, burning the same blazing as the sun rise that touched it.

Loud sirens of red and blue, green and orange flickers across the busy street, the sea of cars parting ways for the lights. The emergency services were responding to the fire, the Orange Amber warning lights of the fite department changed to a deep red warning light. The light red and blue lights were next as the police department arrived to clear the street so more emergency responders could safely get to the emergency without hurting civilians and so they weren't in harms way. The glowing green of the ambulance arrives last, tending to any wounds or injuries of those still left alive found by the fire department. Soon a sliver slim car that could fot a family but only held the driver drove up as the fire department left thier job done.

A young, fairly tanned woman got out of the car, her tall yet slim figure indicated that she'd been to the gym at least once or twice a week, her clothing looked more casual than that of a regular police officer but she pulled out some kind of detective ID badge and the cops let her in, an officer eith strips and higher authority approached her.

"Miss Elliott i presume?" they asked her offering her a hand of greetings. She looked at him sharply, "Was it another strike of the Red Hooded? Cause i highly doubt that, they never gone for small targets before."

The officer scowls a little before replying, "Oh this was no small business, turns out there's an entire factory under here." the officer looks at the damage that he's seen mamy times. Looking at this newest detective, he can see she's of a high class and acts like it as sjr pushes his advanced officers aside because they were 'common folk' dispite they'd earned their place in his eyes, looking out of the corner of his eyes he saw it. The glint of a sniper rifle as the suns blasing fire hit it, reveling the bullet line, which seemed to be aiming at everyone,like covering fire.

Another car drove up, this one had the symbol of a red three leafed clover, in other words The RCC.

He knew the records of this company and the fact that almost all of it is classified to even his superior officers. The doors automatically opened, this caught his attention as only one RCC car did this, he held his breath even more so than he thought he was originally.

Out of the car stepped the man himself, Tobias Harrison Clover, not many used his actual last name. Tobias looked immediately too his right, where the high commanding officer had been looking a few seconds ago, at the sniper, he nodded in that direction, his cold green grass eyes seemingly staring at the sniper with bullets at the snipers soul. Upon seeing this the officer realised that the sniper was covering Tobias and was only scooping out the area for danger, the sniper was now aiming at the detective high class who'd been rude.

Tobias immediately looked at the sniper shaking his head no, pointing at the detective moving her hands around, controlling the metal. 'A metal force user, able to manipulate metal to thier will' the officer thought, he realised that his gun and the ground was holding him and his officers in place, the officer swore to no one in particular in his mind, since metal was so rare of a force to be welded they were equipped with ordinary side arms.

Tobias, realising what the officer was, looked at the ground, he wasn't stuck himself. "So you're not just an ordinary rich girl are you?" he smirks, looking at his sniper, his brown ginger hair swayed softly in the breeze, he put a red bandana on, that seemed to transform into a gas mask, while still keeping a casual appearance, a hood of some form appearing on his coal black business suit, that's slowly changing into a red jacket, his navy blue buttoned shirt and tie, turns into a black shirt or t-shirt of some kind while the gie becomes coal black Fingerless gloves and his jean business like trousers liven up to a slightly lighter shade of black with grey strips and his shoes turn into red pump like shoes, an ear piece comes out of his ear pods while the other stays the same.

"Oh i do enjoy nanotechnology, don't you?" he asked the woman rhetorically. She growled at him, touching the grounds as giant pipes come out of the ground, water spraying everywhere and a funny smelling gas, rendering the cops unconscious.

"Finally, the show can begin." he chuckles to no one in particular. He feels the gas tighten around him specifically, he turns his ear peice on as his gas mask is already flirting in oxygen for him. "Mallory, secure the perimeter like we planned and make sure to turn the filters on." he says into the ear peice. The sniper nods and presses a button as a purple field of energy surrounds the area they are in, Mallory adjusting herself once again for a shot, realising that Tobias changed the perimeter without her knowing, so now she couldn't shoot that bitch of a detective dead. "Sir with all due respect, you asked me to help you on this mission and you're not letting me help you to go beyond my limits again."

Tobias just replies softly, "Oh this one is mine to hunt, i have a vendetta to settle." he places his hands on the ground as the nano boys leave his clothing and go to the officers covering them in gas masks. "Done preparing yet?" Miss Elliott snickers at him, "I'm being paid well by the company that just below up for your head." he turns to her pulling up his hood, hiding his cold green eyes that she could still feel glaring at her.

"Gas Force as well, impressive." he says to her. "judging by the fact that I'm not lacking oxygen yet, you can only control one at a time." he smiles calmly and with look of murder, "the people that hired you secretly had slave workers of cat, dog, fox and other animal people in there, biological force mutants." he says to her honestly, "Yes that was the company that just below up."

Miss Elliott growls and then snarls with a smirk, "I'm being paid enough that I don't care about anything!" she snarkrly answers him as she leaps for him,only to be frozen in a block of ice. He sighs as his hands were covered in ice, his hands then were hot as they produced a blue, see through flame. He melted the ice while burning her alive. He put a red leafed clover on her head as he pulled out what some people called an 1911, he shot her through the skull.

She looked up at him as she mumbles. "You disgrace the upper class." she spits at him, but he's long gone. The officers who were unconscious looked at the dead woman. They had no recollection of the identity of the Hooded person.

In the smart car nearby, Tobias, now in his business gear again, Mallory in the car next to him in smart military gear. Tobias asked the officer. "What seems to be the situation here sir?" he asked the captain of the squad calmly.

The captain shakes his head shortly but violently. He strolls over to the car as he salutes Tobias, "Sir, I'm sorry that you happened to of seen another strike of the Red Hooded."

Tobias frowns, "Well whatever information you can recover be sure to pass it on to the Mister of defence and any information that would concern the demi humans and those with forces that you find please email my research facility the Clover Industries." he asked the officer kindly.

The officer saluted him once again as Tobias chuckles. "No need to be so formal Captain Hawks." he says to the captain. Captain Hawks nods in response, "Give us about five minutes sir and we'll have this cleared out of your way." Tobias saluted in return as he presses a button his window screen moving back up on its own.

He looks at Mallory as he smiled cheerfully, "Phase Two i think it's time for, don't you?" he asked her kindly. All she responded with, even though Tobias catches her smiling, was. "Whatever you say Tobias." The officers clear up the scene enough to allow Tobias through, Hawks salutes Tobias as a normal human, shudders feeling like it's the last time as they drive on too the of the city as they have to be let past armoured swat vans and police who are guarding the car against some kind of riot.

This riot is full of crowds of people who are waving signs like "Demi humans are our equals!" while other signs reading "Our city needs hero's!" a few signs are calling for his company, the Red Clover to help arm the city and most are asking for him to continue helping the city and improve the lives of those around them. (which is now the size of a full country like Canadia.)

Tobias smiles with a malicious attitude for he'll give them hero's, just from an unexpected place.
