The Rebellion of the Mistreated

Chapter 1 - Trouble stirring

It had been a lousy day for Andromeda, Helios and his favorite Lieutenant Ferah, have been on a killing spree. She swears she's seen their faces a dozen times today. She was finally getting lost in her own thought when alarm bells rang, shit , Back to work. Grabbing her weapon she quickly teleported to the scene. When she got there, she didn't see the usual. The victim was a white, 34 year old man named Gary Armstrong, known Crime boss on the normal side of society. He had suffered a gunshot wound to the head, immaculate accuracy, she knew who was here, it wasn't Helios or Ferah. Then she heard the familiar, evil chuckle she recognized. "What do you want Zeri?" Andromeda said in a dry, annoyed tone. "Oh, just finishing up some unfinished business with my favorite Crime boss from the Biggest crime Syndicate in the city." Zeri remarked, proud of herself. "Why today, Helios and Ferah have worn me OUT" Andromeda said pissed. "Oh sorry! Had this planned for quite a while. I can have a word with them, since I am about to be Head Assassin" "Ze, can we talk later, maybe at your place, I need to finish this up and go" "Sorry to keep you, carry on" Like that the conversation was over, and Zeri disappeared. Andromeda finished her task at hand and quickly went to another death, this one of course, had her throat slit, Damn it Ferah. Zeri quickly was back in her apartment in Astrid, the capital of the Corrupts' society. In a hoodie and coffee in hand, her work was done. Andromeda finally made her appearance on the couch, as a blob. "You wanted to talk Zeri" "I'm getting you coffee first" Zeri said getting up to get her a cup. "Black, no creamer, no sugar?" "Yep." Zeri brought her the cup and sat back down. "So I take it Lieutenant Cerine of the spy unit sent you to go finally end this crime bosses' bloodline?" "No actually, I had gone to gather intel for a different target of mine when he decided to make a sexual comment towards me, and harassing me for looking so pale, I knew he wouldn't figure out I'm a corrupt but I got fed up so I told him to meet me outside, and when he made it out I shot him from a dark alley." Zeri was still visibly angry about it all. "Out of it all I STILL have to kill my original target and deal with Helios and Ferah." Andromeda's small alarm went off, not the death alarm though.. "Shit" "What is it Andro???" "I have been told to try and go get Helios to finally punish him." "I'm coming with for back up!" "He targeted Seline." "Then we have to go NOW" Zeri said summoning her corrupt form. They quickly teleported to the scene. "Oh how nice of a surprise, Hello, Andromeda, I was just about to finish up with old Seline here-" He trailed off when his eyes met Zeri's. He called for back up, you could tell. "Ferah is probably on her way, Andro" Zeri whispered, hanging back and letting Andro handle this. "Helios you know what will happen if you kill Seline. The entire Agency will be on you and you will be caught." Andromeda said trying to talk him out of it. "Who said I was going to kill her" He said, soon Zeri appeared in his arms with a knife to her throat. Pure panic appeared in Zeri's eyes, her brain going into overload, Andromeda's breathe caught, and silence hung in the air. You could see as tears of just pure terror accumulate in Zeri's eyes, she knew he wasn't afraid to kill her.. When Andromeda broke the silence, Zeri seemed to ease in the slightest. "Helios, tsk, tsk, killing one of your own? If you did that you know you'll be stripped of your rank, correct?" "You act like I care Andromeda, I'll just hand her off to Ferah when she gets here." Then the sound of a gun cocking. Zeri had finally fought the panic at bay. "Drop me now or I swear to god I will find a way to shoot both you and your little apprentice" Zeri finally said, her voice shaky. "You wouldn't" Helios still too full of himself to think. "Oh I just killed the biggest crime boss in Esterid, so yes, yes I would. Drop me now or I swear to god I will pull this damn trigger. I am a Lieutenant in line to become a Head assassin. What is the point of killing me." Zeri was still trying to reason. Helios dropped her, and she put away the gun. "Glad we're on the same page Helios". Zeri walked, no stumbled, over to Andromeda, still panicked, but then Helios did something nobody dare do, unthinkable, he ran at Andromeda. "There is no reasoning we have to leave NOW-" "Why leaving so soon Lieutenant?" Ferah's sweet voice broke through. "I don't have time for this Ferah." Zeri was pissed, so instead of waiting for Andro she used dark power and teleported to the streets of the normal side. She didn't bother changing forms she just made her way to her original target's home. Target: Grayson Olsen, 25, hit man for a big crime boss, killed a few corrupts in his time. Grayson was getting back from the kitchen when she appeared behind him with a knife to his throat". "Hello scumbag." "Who are you?? What do you want??! I have money!! You can have the money just leave me alone-" Oh great, a beggar. "I'm not here for money, how many corrupts have you killed?" He gulped out of fear "F-five.." "And why did you do that?" ""T-they're dirty and repulsive, but its only because the-they got caught in the crossfire" "You seem so scared, lets get some light. " Zeri said, turning on the light. "Y-You're one of them??" "Oh Grayson, it's me, Zeri." Zeri was about done. "See you in hell" She said as she slit his throat and watched him bleed out with the most evil look on her face. She walked the streets in her corrupt form when she heard a gun cock, and something metal touch her head. "Dirty corrupt" A male voice said. "Well, well, well, what do we have here" Zeri said, turning to face them. "I'm doing Society a FAVOR, killing you unnatural beings." he asked. "What is your name, Mr. I'm-doing-the-world-a-favor" "Connor, and this is Jay. Now shut up so I can shoot you" "Jay, You've been awfully quiet, what's up?" Zeri was trying to make a point. Jay uncovered the mark of the corrupts on his face. "You're one of them???" Connor said, followed by a gunshot. Connor had shot Jay and fled. Zeri froze, in shock, she started putting pressure on the wound "No don't die please,please" Then General of the Organization, FA3 889B, quickly appeared in front of Zeri, who had a look of panic back in her eyes. "Lieutenant Zeri, I need you to go home immediately so I can transport the Commander to the hospital." The General spoke, "H-He was a Commander!? I was just walking and his supposed friend p-put a gun to my head, then Jay showed he was a corrupt so the other one sh-shot him and r-ran.." "Please calm down Lieutenant and go home." "O-Okay.." Zeri spoke one last time and quickly teleported home, where then she collapsed onto her bed.
