Phoenix - GvsC

~Part 1~ - Chapter I - First step in the plan

Revolutions ... Uprisings, you know how they start??? Well, the main premise is that one person or group isn't very happy with another person or group, but after that there is one HUGE thing that happens to initiate the big swell of people going against the rules. Now, if we look back in history, most uprisings start with a killing, which in my mind is such a stupid way to do it ... I mean, you are actually telling the people that you are 'uprising' against that you are actually going to 'up-rise' ... which gives them a chance to build up their forces and knock you back to stage one. BUT there are a few that start small and build up to an over whelming force ... a force that rises up from the ashes and builds its self back up ... Like a Phoenix. A domino effect of small things getting larger and larger till, it reaches its final great fall, but first before I get ahead of myself ... We need introductions: 

I am Phoenix. Of course that isn't my real name but I need to keep a low profile, at least for now that is. I will be getting you all up to date to what has happened over the past couple of years and I can tell you for a fact that you are all in for a great ride so ... I will enlighten you all on how the first domino fell...

It all started with two people crouching in a dark corner of a corridor,leaning over a computer console, the cover of the console tilted, forgotten onthe wall opposite. One of the peoplemoves, grabbing a mirror and pointing it down the dark, metallic corridor. That's Gabriel, he was 18 when all this shitstarted, now celebrating his 20th birthday, he has shoulder lengthdyed black hair, tied in a pony tail at the back, an assortment of piercingsand tattoo's and is supporting his style of long, hooded, no sleeve jacket witha long sleeve top, skinny jeans and, it is said, the world's last pair ofconverse ... and of course it is all inblack ... but the most defining part about Gabriel is the forehead to cheekscar he has over his right eye, how he got that doesn't matter yet but let'sjust say that he is the main antagonist in this story, and yes, before you ask... Gabriel is his real name, he is already in enough shit with the governmentso really ... there honestly isn't any point me changing it, or the name ofanyone else in the 'rising. So, wherewas I??? Oh, yeah, Gabriel looks in thereflection of the little mirror, smiles then nods to Joker, who then turns backto the console and continues to hack into the government communications. Now Joker, in most people's eyes would beclassed as the normal computer nerd, having kept up to the short back and sideslook since the beginning, but getting rid of the glasses with tape round themiddle, he now supports contacts and ... to be honest, the silly bastard stillwears a suit, all washed, different tie every day ... everyone has got theirown dress sense but Joker, he just takes it a bit too far in my opinion anyway,as I was saying this 'nerd' scares me ... see for example, when the worldwasn't on the downhill slope, all he used to do was learn, update, download and... his most valuable commodity ... hack, in his bedroom, by himself, 24/7. This boy could go from just hacking into yourFacebook and 'F-raping' you to, and this is the part that actually scares me, hackinginto the United States missile system and playfully pointing a nuke at thecountry of your choice. Gabriel smilesat Joker then has another look at the rest of the corridor, which is no longerempty, two figures were now walking down towards Gabriel and Joker, complainingto each other about the job that they have been asked to do. Gabriel taps Joker and they both disappear intothe darkness around them.
"Now what the 'ell does He think we will find down 'ere" one of the men said tothe other
"It beats me, but you really think I'm not gunna follow what He says?" Hereplies, looking towards his friend "remember what happened to Jake?" the otherguy shudders at the thought, nods then starts to walk further into the darknesstowards Gabriel and Joker, the Chavs slowly making their way to the end of thedark corridor, Gabriel and Joker push themselves as close to the wall asphysically possible, quietly breathing in, holding their breath and closingtheir eyes, the two Chavs stop, and glance around the darkness, seeing nothing... until, one of them notices the 'forgotten' panel from the wall "Oi, Luke"he taps his friend on the arm and points right at Gabriel, his friend nods athim and they both start to walk further into the darkness, pulling out knivesand waving them in front of themselves like they are trying to cut throughinvisible vines, what complete arseholes.
The Chavs move forward swiping the air, closer and closer ... then one of themstops, he see a flash of white, a reflection, from one of the small buttons onthe long, black coat that Gabriel is wearing, they make their way forwardagain, the first Chav craning his neck to see where the refection came from,Gabriel opens his eyes and with one swift motion, pulls the switch blade fromhis pocket, clicks it open and slices the neck of the first Chav and covers hismouth with the other hand to stop him screaming, while Joker snaps the neck ofhis friend. Gabriel and Joker look at each other ...
"Shit, that wasn't supposed to happen" Gabriel places the first Chav on theground and wipes his hands on his coat while Joker rushes back to the consoleto finish his work
"You can't be blamed Gabe" Joker said, not looking around "they would havefound us otherwise"
"I know ..." Gabriel breaths out slowly and kneels down to relieve the deadChavs of their weapons "but I promised myself I wouldn't kill again after ..."
"No" Joker cuts him off mid sentence and looks around "we are not mentioningthat ... this isn't your fault" Joker gestures to the floor, pointing at theChavs "and ... THAT terrible day isn't your fault, no one blames you Gabriel"Joker shakes his head and runs his fingers through his hair "look, you watchthe corridor, I will finish here, we will collect Valentine and Pup then wewill leave okay???" Gabriel looks at Joker and feels an enormous burst ofrespect for him ...
'he lost just as much as I did'Gabriel thinks to himself 'maybe evenmore but he's is here, risking his life for the me ... after everything I havedone' Gabriel picks up and reloads one of the Chavs shitty handguns andstands watch on the corner again ... waiting and watching for the next thing togo wrong.
