"Wait wait wait, who's that again?" I asked, very agitated. "Queen of The Conduits, E. Black." David responded. "No no no her last name is White!" I panicked. "Sorry newbie, thats the old her, the new her is Black, just like her soul." David told me, which really made me angry. The Emma I know wouldn't have a "black soul," she's small and cute and angelic and just like a baby. "Wait David what faction did you say she commanded?" I asked curiously. There was one thing that scared me. "The conduits" he said. "And what ability do they have?"
"Powers."
"What...what power does she have?" I was scared to ask but managed to get the words out. "Mind control and Telekinesis. She can crush your organs from inside or make you do whatever she wants you to. Ever since she got that power, her kill count is 12,000. Just about 300 less than our boss." F*ck...what happened to the love of my life...the old her would've never killed ANYBODY. "David...you do know she was my girlfriend before Nathan right?" I asked, confirming it. "No way...you're The UnNamed One?" He replied. The UnNamed One...? "She used to kill whoever said your name out loud by crushing their hearts from the inside. Called it "treason and disrespect towards the queen." He explained. So i'm to blame for those deaths? Damnit. "Hey is there anyway i can meet her?" "Yeah we have to get you to her but its not gonna be easy..." "I don't care, i need to see her, tell me" i insisted. "Alright so you need to win the games today and beat ALL of your opponents. The games happen 3 times a year, the day before each of the leaders' birthdays. Tomorrow happens to be Black's birthday. The winner gets a private dinner with the Queen of the Conduits and her lieutenant, Alexis Wolf as a celebration of her birthday. So you need to win" David planned out. Brilliant. I kill a bunch of guys and I win a date with my girlfriend? Thats funny...a dinner with Emma. As i remembered our first date i was hit with a rush of bittersweet nostalgia. I really miss her... "First you have to steal a pass to the games from the boss's office. I can't help you so good luck with that." He told me. "Thanks a lot" i said back. Alright, i thought as i got ready and prepared myself. I waited until midnight. Then, I used a map David had given me to make my way into the office. The boss isn't here. Good. I have time to get a pass. As i reached for a pass the door creaked open, letting a chilly wind in along with the person i assumed was who they called the "Boss." I couldn't see his face very well because i was already hiding in the closet next to his counter. He came up to the window, watching over the city down there like a vigilante...cool. "You can't seriously believe i can't hear you in there, Adam. Long time no see." The Boss said. I hesitantly opened the closet doors to see that the boss was the one and only
Mason Woods.
I was gone long enough to have my best friend become a military leader and my girlfriend a superhero, or as it sounds, a super villain...
"But... why?" I asked, completely confused. "Sh*t happens." He replied. "You were gone for long." He continued. "I was the first one to find your body, you were breathing but in a deep sleep, Adam. I brung you home but kept you a secret from Emma. Now, no hard feelings but i am going to pretend to hold you hostage so the Conduits are forced to give us all of their supplies." He chuckled with a devilish face. "Have you told her about me yet?" I asked. "No you're still a secret." He said. "Then keep me that way. I'll join the games and win so that we earn those supplies fair and square." I proposed. "Fine, i shall trust you with this, but don't let me down." He warned. "I won't." I promised as he gave me the pass to the games.
*8:00 pm, time for the games*
My first match, up against a fellow Brotherhood member, was about to start. Guns vs guns. The elevator took me down to the chamber. The doors opened to reveal a huge stadium covered with chains and a crowd divided into three. Red military, green ninjas, and people dressed in light blue who i assumed were the conduits. I walked towards my opponent with confidence. I have to do this. This is the only way i'll find her. I shall beat them...FOR EMMA!
