LOSERSON: FATE

CHAPTER PROLOGUE

Julian is seen leaning at the alleyway, the same lonely platform in the alley of Malaysia where he was dumped as a baby. The previous events still haunt him for life, as rain droplets drip onto him continuously.

An insignificant, bespectacled Malaysian who has been framed by an American celebrity thought to be dead has been going through much worse than he thinks. He has tried saving the world twice - the Apostles' terrorisms in Korea and the Future Tech's virus infecting the media in every world - with the help and encouragement from his very few close friends. However no one in the world bats an eye towards him.

The last horrific thing Julian does last year is shooting a corrupt soon-to-be mayor's racist son who is hellbent on killing one of his friends, and losing his temper on almost killing a man responsible for the eventual downfall of his innocent proof. Now everyone is ready to hate Julian, and side with the corrupt mayor Thomas Strike.

Now he is alone, without contact with any former friends he has left. Melody. Jeremy. Lily. They aren't here with him right now. He is now running away, escaping from every police, every assassin, and every person who is ready to capture him on Strike's behalf. Julian has no rest. He still proceeds to run as quickly as possible.

Far from Julian, the shadowy figure of American billionaire celebrity Arthur T. Richson is seen lurking. Arthur remembers when he underestimated Julian as an insignificant nobody, until he and his very few friends destroyed his reputation six years ago. He has to resort to using the Apostles, especially leaders Samson and Eunice Gold, to frame Julian, using his name as an "Apostle Matthew." Although Arthur's fake death has prevented him for going public, Arthur finds the people slowly mourn his death after they think he is trying to "save the world from Julian and the Apostles." After stealing the virus chip from Future Tech before the downfall, Arthur secretly planned something bigger somewhere hidden for his grander debut. Arthur dealt with Thomas Strike to falsify the lies spread to harm Julian's reputation.

Now Arthur's plans are working, and he seems to be enjoying all the suffering Julian is getting upon running and hiding. Arthur strolls away before Julian turns around, seeing no one is present around him.

Meanwhile, in London, Wayne Wilson holds the old small photo of his family - him, his wife, and son - as he stares at it longingly. His lips draw closer to the photo before Wayne slides the photo inside his black leather pocket. Wayne then approaches what seems to be the burning mansion, with tons of STRIKE-paid assassins slaying every one of the henchmen apart mercilessly. Wayne walks through the massacre until he sees a lonely, bald, British mob boss, The Lizard, witnessing everything he has built. The Lizard turns around and chuckles, "I should've known my own fall."

Wayne pulls his gun out and points the gun very close to The Lizard's forehead, "I am giving you a chance if you tell me where Loserson is."

The Lizard doesn't flinch against Wayne, but only converses, "Do you find peace by killing anything worth destruction? You don't need to have your fate be more hopeless to see yourself be more of the minister than you already are."

Wayne: "Any last word?"

The Lizard: "I couldn't think of any."

"Yeah," Wayne scoffs, right before pulling a trigger. The loud gunshot is emitted as The Lizard lies on the ground dead. Shortly after, Wayne turns away from the burning mansion, ordering the soldiers, "Clean the mess up."

A tall, bald bespectacled man with his typical smooth mustache, dressed in casual white scientist robes, races to the entrance of a Singaporean STRIKE building. He greets the usher with a bow, "Hello there, may I ask, where is Thomas Strike?"

"He's here," the bodyguard points behind Christopher. Immediately a black sedan showed up in the middle of an edifice, STRIKE Company. Soon an elderly blond billionaire Thomas Strike appeared from the black sedan and greeted his low-tier scientist head, "So glad to meet you, Mr. Christopher Law."

Christopher gulps, feeling threatened by his presence. He still bows his head, "The observation is ready."

Thomas: "Show me."

"Right away," Christopher leads Thomas to the laboratory, and shows him a bright, exposed orange cube on the central table. "We don't know what it was or where it came from. We tested this thing from our lab at Greenland, but we sent it here for you to see. However I theorized that the cube can lead to unlimited power." Thomas senses the indestructible force by storing it instead of Christopher, "I feel that I, the only one of this planet Earth, should hold the power of the god."

Christopher interrupts, "That's not how the OmniCube actually works. To do that, you need a specific kind of machine that works in Greenland."

Thomas: "Don't worry, we can use that machine of yours to be transported to my tower at Washington D.C. We are so close to eliminating the dirty people in our country, and then to the whole world."

Christopher: "What's so wrong about the people you hate so much? Especially to those that are poor and helpless."

Thomas: "They aren't Americans. They are just poor weaklings who can't even fight. You know why you are here, right?"

Christopher: "Because I'm useful?"

Thomas: "Yes. You are a brilliant scientist who onced carried the Apostle terrorists' backs."

Christopher: "What happens when everyone finds the truth about you?"

Thomas: "I can assure you, they won't. People always listen to the powerful, and the weaklings cannot even find any evidence against me. The Americans will always win against the weaklings. Now you work for me or I will send you down to the hole where you came from."

Just as the men are busy continuing their conversation, a masked scientist grows enraged at Strike that he sneaks behind the glass case, and smashes it. Strike spots the man and warns loudly, "Intruder! Get him!" However the man quickly snatches the orange cube and dashes from the S.T.R.I.K.E. edifice, with the alarms sounding. As he was chased by Thomas, Christopher, and the two STRIKE soldiers. They race towards a construction site of the building and reach the wall-less third floor. The man hides behind the pillars and uses the cellphone to dial the police, but there is no signal, because Christopher is forced to hack the signal in his phone to avoid exposure. He tried to get down to another stairs, but Thomas, Christopher, and the two soldiers corner him, and one of them shoots the cellphone, destroying it in pieces, as well as the man's hand. Thomas approaches the man, snatches the cube away and, aiming at the man's forehead, he asks, "What do you know about me?"

The man answers, "I know that you are a corrupt man who rigs every court just to please your satisfactions."

Thomas mocks, "Yes, yes I am. Do you think you can get rid of me?"

The man replies, "I can't, but someone will. Your evil deeds will be exposed sooner."

Thomas shoots the man's body, and the man wrinkles clumsily to the edge of the building. He then falls down and splatters on the ground, with blood appearing out the floor like the tomato sauce spilling. No one is present around the sideways, and even if the people did, they wouldn't notice until the day after.

"This is what you get when you overthrow me. Violence always wins," warned Thomas to a fearful Christopher, and then turns to his soldiers, commanding, "Bury him to a graveyard where no one remembers."

Back to see the dead body lying on the surface, the dead man is taken by the cruel soldiers who left the scenery clean like it never happened. After cleaning the vacant streets, Strike's soldiers wrap the deceased body inside the black garbage bag, and dump it into the ocean, never to be seen again.
