The Fight for Love (Sequel to the Opposites) Book 2

Prologue

Era: 2032

??? POV

My footsteps pounded on the asphalte under me. Puddles splashed as my foot pounded on the puddles. Lightning struck from the sky as the running sounds of footsteps came ever closer. Most of the stores were closed at this time of night in the city. It had to be no earlier than 1:00 in the morning. When I heard the footsteps right behind me I suddenly stopped and jumped up backflipping over the figure before landing on the ground dropping and sweeping, kicking the person off their feet sending them to the ground. The type of Hybrid I was made jumping easier for me, I excelled at jumping. The figure groaned in pain, I couldn't make out the facial features...but it looked to be a guy. Wearing a black suit and those black sunglasses. His hair was slicked to the side but with the rain drenched and hung over his face.

He breathed heavily, "It would be in your best interest to stay away from me." I said my voice low. My nose barely peaked from the hood over my head. The figure chuckled, "I can't do that, I have my orders just like you" The figure said.

"What's your name." I said demandingly. "J-John." He muttered. I knelt down eye level with him where I could see his hazel green eyes...he was definitely a hybrid of sorts. "Well John, I'm going to give you a choice...you can leave and we can forget this ever happened, or I can take you with me if you refuse to comply." I said in an expressionless tone.

John's eyes widened as the mention of me taking him. I wasn't surprised, I would be taking him and turning him into the ISSA (International Society of Secret Agents) which would decide the punishment. "N-No! A-Anything but that!" John exclaims frantically. "Then I'll grant you mercy...but you will leave if you wish for me to keep my end of the bargain." I say as the figure gets up quickly causing me to look up. "Y-Yes sir...sorry!" And with that John went running off in the opposite direction he came from.

I sighed heavily and stood to my feet. "Stupid Governmental officials...this is getting out of hand..." I muttered as a beeping sound sounded on my wrist. I lifted my wrist pulling back the sleeve of my cloak revealing a high tech white futuristic watch. I flipped over the cover and a blue hologram of my commander popped up. "Yes sir?" I ask as the hologram sighed. "How is the mission coming along?" My commander asks. "It's going smooth so far sir, I just ran into a little hiccup with a government official but I sent him on his way." I responded as the hologram sighed heavily. "Those guys are really starting to become a problem...we may have to do something about that...but that can wait, I have some news...and it's not good." My commander says. "Go on." I respond. The commander sighed, "Jerry Hollywood has been reported captured and killed by the Slitherine Cult." My commander says, causing my eyes to widen. "W-What?" I am completely baffled by the fact that our CEO who was probably the most safe of all of us was captured and killed. "I don't know what they want but it seems they are not playing around. After the death of Jason, they've gone crazy...it's like they don't even know who they themselves are anymore." My commander says. "They're on the other side of the world, how did they manage to transport spies past the borders?" I ask. "The art of being undetected, humans and the average folk are completely asinine and oblivious to the real world problems faced today. I don't even think they realize that a World War could break out at any moment now they're too focused on the political issues." The commander says as I sigh.

"That's average people for you, anyways. What is being planned for the transference of power?" I ask. "I'm not sure, HQ can't do a transference of power without the entire society finding out the death of the leader...and they can't risk anything." The commander says. "That's a problem." I mutter. "Dang right it is, and with it the U.K is on the brink of a major civil war, the Slitherine cult managed to split the island into 2 sides and both are at each other's throats. You might get called into action eventually." My commander says. "I wouldn't be surprised...but I'm not prepared and you know that." I say. "I know, that's why I may have to spice up your training days and prepare you just in case..." My commander says. "Understood." I say as the commander chuckles. "Alrighty, well I'll let you go now, I want a report on the happenings of your mission within a day of completion and I will see you on Monday." My commander says and just before disappearing stops. "Oh hold on I forgot to tell you something very important." My commander says as I stay quiet indirectly telling him to proceed.

"You may want too be careful...this world is hiding a lot of things, and I have a feeling something else is going on...they wouldn't kill off the leader and make a careless move like that unless they were planning something major...stay on your toes Phoenix...something tells me this isn't everything we're in for." My commander says before the holographic version of him disappeared leaving me standing there speechless.

I sighed before closing my watch and rubbed my temples in stress. I really needed a break...I lowered my arms and shook my head frantically. "Can't focus on that now...gotta focus on the mission." I mutter to myself before sprinting back off through the city.

And this ends off the prologue! I tried doing something different with this, this prologue involves mostly foreshadowing, yet also brings back part of the past. How do you guys feel about the prologue...you guys interested to see what happens? Or who this Phoenix person is? I'm excited to tell this story tbh, next chapter to this will probably be out before the next Final Stand chapter...

And with that I would be ready for a wild ride guys, this chapter may have had foreshadowing and a lot of it...there is so much more...so much more...I have plot twists that I'm excited to tell and I'm going to be using a lot of skills I've learned from writing in this. If I were to say anything that would make this book stand out from the others and even Final Stand...is the amount of stuff that will go down...there will be so much, and so much to unpack. I plan on doing so much in this book, I plan on making every chapter interesting in some way and completely scrapping the idea of doing filler chapters.

Anyways I hope you guys are excited like I am, with that I hope you guys enjoy the rest of your evening or day and I will be seeing you all later!
