Encounters Part 1

After the training session, Noah decided to step outside of Outpost 57 to fully appreciate the environment. Once outside, he felt it was the familiar world he had always known.

Through his eyes, he knew he had to alter his view of those around him, as he risked being perceived as a threat, being the human equivalent of Godzilla. "Whenever I venture outside this outpost, I must steer clear of other humans in San Diego, as I fear being seen as a potential threat," Noah mused to himself.

As Noah scanned his surroundings, a large plume of black smoke caught his eye in the distance. He immediately understood that a serious fire was unfolding. "What the hell is happening over there?" Noah wondered, bewildered.

Suddenly, Adam burst out of the outpost. He had been alerted by other Monarch staff about the blaze Noah had found. "Mr. Harris, a winged man with supernatural abilities is assaulting Monarch staff and law enforcement at the San Elijo Lagoon and Ecological Reserve. You might want to come and see for yourself," Adam suggested as he climbed into his black Chevrolet Suburban.

Upon hearing this, Noah didn't hesitate and climbed into the Suburban. "We need to get there fast! We can't let him endanger any of your personnel," Noah urged as he leapt into the trunk of the vehicle.

After a 22-minute drive, Noah and Adam reached the San Elijio Lagoon and Ecological Reserve. Adam hurried out of the Suburban to investigate the commotion. To their dismay, they found that a vast expanse of the reserve's grassy fields was ablaze.

"Do we have a more detailed description of the suspect?" Adam inquired frantically.

"Yes, the suspect is clad in dark red body armor. It appears he also has large red wings and is exhibiting pyromaniac-like fire abilities," a male officer responded.

Suddenly, the enigmatic man viciously ambushed the group of officers and Monarch personnel, with Adam striving to halt his rampage.

Noah, witnessing the unfolding events, was utterly shocked. He realized immediate action was necessary. "Oh my god! I can't just stand by while this creature attacks Adam, the officers, and the Monarch staff!" exclaimed Noah.

Wasting no time, Noah burst from the trunk of the Suburban and quickly subdued the enigmatic man with wings of flame, pinning him to the ground.

"NOAH! NO! DON'T GET YOURSELF HURT!" Adam shouted.

"Don't worry! I'll take care of this!" Noah exclaimed as he made his way into the line of fire.

The transformation in Noah's physical appearance left the officers and Monarch personnel aghast. "What the hell is that?!?!" exclaimed a female Monarch staff member, her voice tinged with confusion and shock.

"Is that a human version of Godzilla?!?!?" another male officer asked.

"It's Noah! He has changed because of an experiment last night!" Adam replied, managing to subdue the panic and confusion.

As Noah pinned the winged figure to the ground, he could finally see the details of the enigmatic man. He had olive skin, stood at 5'4", and sported dark brown hair with a red tint at the ends. His eyes were a fiery orange, matching the gradient on his expansive brown wings. He wore long brown gloves, a dark red bomber jacket over matching body armor, and dark red combat trousers.

"GAH! GET OFF ME, YOU DAMN FREAK!" shouted the winged pyromaniac as he struggled to break free from Noah's grasp.

"STOP! Don't make this harder than it needs to be!" Noah exclaimed, grappling to restrain the winged assailant.

Despite Noah's valiant attempts, the winged man escaped his hold and soared into the sky. Noah, Adam, the officers, and the armed Monarch personnel looked on in utter astonishment.
