Trojan: The Red Spade

|Trojan|Chapter 1: Part 1

   It was just another day in Las Vegas, people walking along the streets, constant sounds of cars running and honking in traffic, and a whole lot of poker playing. Bets were being made, chips were passed around, and cards were dealt.
Not the prettiest day it's ever had but it wasn't the worst, just some grey clouds but no winds. Then, without a warning, the sirens blared and a voice was heard through the city,

"Alert! Alert! Those who have a sickness or disease report to a hospital or med camp immediately! This is not a drill! A virus is spreading and will be a threat if not immediately eradicated! Virus has already begun in the lesser sectors! Report to hospital immediately! Thank you for your cooperation!" The voice said.
Soon everyone was in panic, doing as they were instructed to do. Meanwhile in the lesser sectors of Las Vegas, which was where the poorer, unsuccessful people lived, there was a single person, standing in the middle of a street, with blood stained shirt, bloody mouth, and bleeding eyes, with skin slowly turning a burnt red color. In the midst of this chaos, thieves thought to take advantage and begin stealing from the others, pulling out a gun and pulling on a mask, kicking doors down and shooting whosoever would stand in there way, including children.

??? P.O.V

Mom and dad were rushing around packing things, as I stood there confused as a 5 year old child would be,
"Ace go take some things you'd wanna keep." Mom said as she seemed out of breath but did her best to hide with a smile, while dad did the same but was on the phone,
"Thanks Daren, when we meet I can give you your share, aight, ok man I gotta go, bye.." he sighed.
Dad was sorta obsessed with poker, he played a lot with his best friend Daren, and was able to bring home a great deal of money, but used ever so little to make it look inconspicuous to the others living in this sector, "I love you Ace." He'd always say, he gave me that name do to his small obsession.
After running around a bit myself, packing some small toys, some clothes, and necessities, before leaving my room I look at my small night stand and see a picture of my parents, and quickly snag it and put it away in my bag. I hear police sirens go off and gun shots fired outside our house, mom grabs me and holds me close and dad goes to the door to lock it, but it's kicked open knocking him down,
"No wait!!" He cried out before he was shot in the chest and dropped to the ground as a pool of blood began to form from him,
"Tony!!" My mom cried out as she put me behind her, the man came up and grabbed mom by the collar and tossed her on the other side of the hall. The man chuckled as mom struggled to stand, "I love you Ace.." she whispered before too, being shot, but I closed my eyes and heard a "thump!" As her body crumbled down, then the man pointed his gun at me as I stood there, helpless and scared.

Just when I think I'm dead, I hear a metal "ting!" and when I open my eyes, I see the man who had the gun knocked out on the ground, and standing over him was a man with graying dark brown hair and a beard holding a pipe, "C'mon kid, I'm a friend of your dad, Daren." he said, but I stood there unsure of what to do.  He sighed as he said, "I made a promise to your dad that if anything happened to him, I'd take care of you, now lets go before the cops or that thing out there will take you!" after that he took me by the hand and practically dragged me while I held my backpack close.

Somewhere in an abandoned subway...

There was a poster that read, "The last hope to stop the virus!!" and there were six lights that occasionally flickered, and underneath one, was the "Doctor" who was on the poster, and was sipping tea for some odd reason.  Then there was a strange noise that came from a dark doorway, upon when he heard it, put the cup down as he grabbed his dart gun with small darts filled with some kind of green ooze.  As he did so a figure immerged with glowing red eyes and some kind of mask that only covered the lower part of his face.  He had a Crimson Diamond badge, and seemed to be a commander by his hat.
