Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: The Mammoth

The day was 28th September,3000. The Centrals had gathered in the Kiyoto stadium for the speech of Mr. Jerome Richardson. In the Central-Land, there were two political parties: Partitioners and the Equilarians. As the names suggest, the partitioners wanted to maintain the partition between Central and Wasteland while the Equilarians wanted the opposite. Since the rise of BDL cartel, the partitioners have been in power and most of the citizens of Central-Land believe in their ideology. That day Richardson, the then current leader of the partitioners, was about to give a speech for his campaign. The elections were scheduled on Christmas eve. Richardson had been the president of the CL for the last two terms with each term lasting seven years. Even though he bought many reforms, deep down he still possessed hatred towards the Wasters and had his main goal fixed: Eradicate all the Liberal Wasters who were now living in the CL and make all of them peasants who were to only obey the 'Pure Central'. As he woke up that day, he suddenly saw the image of his sister standing in front of him. His eyes teared up as he remembered his last meeting with his sister.

Tale of the sister:

Year 2968:

When he was 8 years old, 5ft tall and weighed merely a hundred pounds, his sister had eloped with a Waster. Being the most the most powerful and influential family in the Central-Land, this was a disgrace to the Richardson's.

Year 2980:

When Richardson turned 20 years old, 6ft 9 inches tall and weighed 250 pounds, he set out to find his sister. After searching for quiet some time he found his sister to be living in the southern provinces of Wasteland with her husband and two children. The Wasteland was divided into four provinces based on the cardinal directions and so was Central-Land. He entered the house all alone asking his bodyguards to stay outside. Most of the house in the wastelands were small cottages with only a ground floor. Wasteland was greener than Central-Land and had less technology. The only reason it was called the 'Wasteland' was because the Centrals hated the poorer section hence they left them this derogatory name. Wasteland was even devoid of G.O.D. so it was mostly like stone age.

Time: 8:30 a.m.

Jerome's sister, Alicia, was hurriedly packing the lunchboxes of her children, Rosco and Hilda (Who were both 12 years old) while her husband, Cho Dae-Hyun, was taking a shower.

Alicia: Both ya little devils better finish your lunch today. If I find out that either of you threw away the food, you'll be in for big trouble.

Rosco: Why? what's in the box?

Alicia: Steamed Broccoli and turkey.

Rosco: Well you purposely give us greens and expect us to what?...eat it?

Alicia: Yes.

Hilda came out of her room combing her hair.

Hilda: What's with face Rosco?

Rosco: We got broccoli again.

Hilda: Mom, this is the fourth time in the week we are getting this green hell. Why can't we get something other than this.

Alicia: Well because this is the cheapest veggie in the market currently and it's good for you.

A door knock is heard. Alicia goes and opens the door. She couldn't believe her eyes when she saw her brother, twice his earlier size, standing outside in a trench coat with two men guarding him. Both his bodyguard held pistols in their hands.

He barged his way in. His guards were about to enter but he signaled them to stay out and guard the house.

Alicia: hi-..H-....Hi. Wow Jerome, look at you. You have grown so tall and big

Alicia was scared but she was trying to play it off cool. 

Alicia: Won't you give sissy a hug?

Jerome looked into the eyes of his sister. There was still genuine love for him. As he looked around the cottage he saw two little younglings staring at him with their sweet big eyes. His facial expression was cold but he could have burst into tears at any point. Mr. Cho was still busy taking a bath. Alicia leaned in for a hug. Jerome also hugged his sister. For a minute it was all normal but then his grip grew tighter. Alicia started feeling some discomfort. She tried to push him away from herself but the big man had taken complete control on her. It was like a python suffocating it's prey. Alicia started screaming in pain but Jerome covered her mouth with his big hands muffling her shrieks. All this while Mr. Cho was still singingly taking bath in the shower. Rosco and Hilda were seeing everything. When their mother started to scream, Rosco ran towards the Mammoth and tried to stop him. He tried to punch the big intruder but it was like punching a rock. Alicia had now started to turn blue and red. Her blood vessels were clearly visible under her skin. Her hands and legs had no bones which weren't broken by then.

Before taking her final breath, she looked into her brother's eyes and gave a smile. Alicia was now dead. She laid on the floor lifeless. Tears ran down her eyes while she still had a smile on her face. Rosco and Hilda had now started crying and screaming. Mr. Cho finally got out of the shower after hearing this commotion. Jerome took out his pistol and shot the Waster thrice in the stomach. He then walked up to his dead body and shot seven times at his lifeless face. Mr. Cho was now just a piece of flesh with no face. Jerome then saw the children. A single tear trickled down his left eye.

That evening the neighbors of Alicia discovered the crime scene where a lady lay dead on the ground, a man with a busted face and bullets in his lungs lay dead in the washroom and two children were strangulated to death in the kitchen. The scene still disturbs many who saw it that day. Due to the lack of technology in Wasteland, there wasn't any CCTV camera so the entry and exit of Jerome wasn't recorded and he was never imprisoned for his crimes. The rumors had however spread throughout both the nations and that's how Jerome received the nickname of "THE MAMMOTH".
