𝓒𝓱𝓪𝓹𝓽𝓮𝓻 10 - 𝓕𝓪𝓵𝓵𝓮𝓷

Kirk's eyes shot open as he found himself locked to a futuristic chair, hands being cuffed behind him, feet locked to the front, the door in front of him slides open as he's greeted with three armored agents holding what looks like metal baseball bats with some sorts of tasers all around them in rings, the tasers light up as the agents stop right in front of him, from the door, emerges a familiar face, General Joie Fallen. Fallen sits in a chair right in front of Kirk, he was a man around his mid-50's with grey swept back hair, a bad pencil mustache. He wore a clean light try tuxedo with a tie and black undershirt – medals strapped to the left side. Kirk felt an anger flood through his mind and tried his best to tear out of the chair, but he couldn't do anything

"Calm down, Kirk."

"don't fucking talk to me you shit." Kirk said between heavy breaths of anger.

Fallen sat back "so you remember me then?"

"I'm not locking you to this chair for torture or some weird experiment, I just don't want you going around killing everyone you see."

"I'm going to tear you limb from fucking limb bastard! You cost me everything!" Kirk screamed.

"Calm down captain. Hear me out."

"WHY SHOULD I!" Kirk struggled again, nothing.

"I'll let you go as long as you promise to not kill me and instead stay and hear me out." Fallen, Seemed genuine. he didn't act evil, he looked more Innocent.

kirk said nothing.

"Kirk?"

"Fine." he finally spoke with a snarl.

Kirk suddenly felt his arms able to move once again as he stood up.

"Okay, I understand that you may hate me for NX-5, but just, Sit down, I have a lot to explain."

Kirk, intrigued, sits back down.

"About 5 years ago, I was working in the lab, like usual, I wanted to solve the whole trash in the oceans issue, which is why I created NX-5, it was intended to just destroy anything harmful to the planet."

"Why were you in a lab, you're a military general for fuck's sake."

"NX-5 uses military grade weaponry, I oversaw installing it correctly. But."

He went silent.

"Either someone hacked the control panel, or it malfunctioned, but it began suddenly consuming everyone in the lab. I don't know what happened but..."

"But it realized that humans are the main pollution of earth." Kirk said.

"That's my current theory. I made it out unscathed, but, not mentally."

"What happened?"

"I lost my wife to NX-5, Since then, I've been doing everything I could to stop it but have been unsuccessful. The controls to NX-5 were destroyed by someone who blew up the top few floors of Nanotex industries."

Kirk knew exactly what Fallen was talking about Oh fuck, Noell blew up the controls-

"So, is there a plan?"

"Not until I came across you and the organization."

"So, there is?"

Fallen smirked "Follow me."

They stood and walked down a large catwalk, a yellowy-orange liquid bubbling below. "So, were exactly where you during the first outbreak?" kirk dug. Fallen looked at his shoes and said, "Running away."

"No shit, why didn't you help us? It took years to find out a counter."

"I could say I was consumed by grief, which I was. But I was being hunted for the disaster. The US government decided my screw up was too big."

"That would explain why my team was sent after you. We didn't have much information about you or what you'd done, just you were a threat to the world and needed to be taken out. They just gave me somewhere to point my anger and grief."

"As someone who served my whole life, I can understand that. What did you mean when you said id cost you everything, who did you lose."

"My girlfriend and a lot of close members in the organization, more recently."

"Shit, I know you loved her. And I'm sorry about the squad, they were good men."

"Still love her, I never really moved on." "You and I are on the same page." "So why are we here?" Kirk asks as the two stop when they heard the caulking of a gun, and fallen felt the cold steel of a sort of desert eagle against the back of his head, He put his hands up as he turned, Kirk turning quickly after
