Futuristic One x One :P

"Come on man! Just let me go!" The guy exclaimed, trying to pry himself from Ryan's arms. They wouldn't budge.

"Just hold on, okay? We need to get out of here-"

Before Ryan finished his sentence, the sound of a thermal detonation overcame his hearing.

"Oh Fu-!" Ryan exclaimed before being sent flying almost ten feet forwards from the powerful blast.

Quickly recovering, Ryan realized he had let go of the kid, and couldn't seem to find him.

"Hey kid! Where'd you go?" He yelled out, still scanning the area for him.

Before long, he spotted the guy trying to stand up. He was only able to get on his knees before Ryan made his way over to him.

"C'mon man, cops will be here soon if we don't hurry. Those guys at a pain in the ass when you need to flee..." Ryan said as he helped him up.

No matter how much he pushed, the man's arms wouldn't budge. It was like a steel bar welded in place. Suddenly, a bright, orangish, yellowish light caught Allen's eye before a relatively loud blast wave (Star Wars battlefront thermal emploder, just imagine that but bigger) sent him and the man flying. The man lost his grip on Allen and sent them both to the ground.

"What... The hell was that...?" Allen mumbled as he tried to stand up.

Everything was spinning. He could hear the muffled noise of someone speaking as he was picked up and set standing upright. It was the man who carried him out of the motel.

"Yeah, yeah.... Good idea." Allen said in a low, tired voice. He was still disoriented.

"Hey, my name's Allen by the way. Thanks for saving me from... Whatever that was..." Allen said, feeling a bit better now.

When Tef came to, he found himself outside. It was mid-day and very few people were around; no one appeared to even notice Tef. Either that or they were trying not to notice him. It didn't take long for Tef to realize he was covered in blood, yet he seemed unaffected by it.

"I told them to stay back..." He mumbled to himself as he walked off into the town.

The memories were slowly coming back to him, just as they always did. First the blood and screaming, then why it happened. There were four of them; probably working for some business. When they saw Tef, they were a bit confused on how he got into the wear house. He had stowed away in a passenger bus, which apparently was 'privately owned'. Tef was confused on why there was so much luggage yet so very few passengers, but he pieced together that they probably were selling drugs or something. Either way, they didn't like Tef being there, so when the obvious leader took out a knife, Tef backed against the bus and pleaded them to "stay back". They didn't listen of course, and Tef quickly went into Blackout. Afterwards, the leader was splattered against a wall, one man had a knife completely embedded in their left eye socket with the blade protruding from the top of their head, one man's head had been completely turned around. Three times... And the last one looked like his head had been blasted with a shotgun.

Thinking back, Tef wondered where the old feeling of dread went. When he was younger, he always hated it; feeling like a monster after seeing what he had done. But now, he wished he still felt it; maybe then he could find his humanity.

Tef’s train of though was quickly interrupted by a strange noise. One he had never heard before. When he looked up to see what it was, there was nothing there. Literally. There was nothing but a wide, and relatively shallow crater.

“What…?” Tef mumbled, speechless by the sight.

Tef looked around to see if anyone was nearby enough to have noticed what had happened. The only people he saw were two men, who appeared to have been pushed back by whatever did this.

“Ummm, what happened here?” Tef called out, a bit surprised by himself for being so open.

Seeing that the man, named Allen, was alright, Ryan felt a bit more relieved.

"The name's Ryan, and it's no problem. You helped me out in there too. Anyway, we can talk more later, let's just get the hell away from all this..." Ryan said as he turned around to start running off.

He was quickly stopped by a young voice, asking what had happened. Ryan turned to the direction of the voice and his eyes were met by a confused looking, relatively young man; maybe 17 or so.

"Uhhhh... Gas leak! Whole place just blew itself away. We were lucky to get out alive... Anyway, we better get going, this place isn't safe. There might be more... Gas..." Ryan began to slow his words, realizing the kid was covered in blood.

"You... Okay...?" Ryan asked, a bit disturbed by the amount of blood on their clothes.

"Huh? Oh... Yeah, I'm fine. Some guys tried hurting me, so... They got hurt..." The kid said, sounding almost as if the words didn't mean very much.

Allen walked over to Ryan's side, whispering, "I think this guy might be a bit psycho..."

Ignoring Allen's remark, Ryan cautiously walked over to the kid.

"Listen, it's non of my business... But you seem like you were probably at the wrong place at the wrong time... So how about you just stick with us and we can find you a place to get cleaned up and maybe fed..." Ryan proposed, standing a bit closer to the kid so they weren't yelling across the street.

"Okay... Just don't try anything on me... Everyone regrets it..." The kid said just as lifeless as the rest of his words.

"No issue there friend..." Ryan said, more to himself than to the kid. "So what's your name?"

"Tef. That's my nickname anyway. It kinda stuck to me so I just go by that." Tef said, a little more life in his words this time.

"I'm Ryan. Nice to meet you Tef!" Ryan said cheerfully, as if he had met a friend-for-life.

"Wonder where Se7en and N9ne ran off to...?" Ryan mumbled, realizing the two of them were gone.

The numbers and the sniper had silently agreed to remain a group but left the rooftop to find the other two men they had seen. They rounded a corner at full sprint the sniper miraculously able to keep up with the two modified human beings. Upon seeing Ryan SE7EN ran and jumped clean over him adding a flip and with a quick spin landed beside a tall kid with a paper airplane and another one who looked like he needs toblay off the juicy juice. He punched Ryan in the shoulder as N9NE slowed to a stay walk towards the rest of the group and Ethan simply stayed back. Surveying the group he took note of the people around him. SE7EN was the first one to speak simply saying "who's hungry? This asshole is buying" and then swiftly kicked Ryan in the back of the leg just hard enough that it could be taken as a joke.

"Who are...?" Tef began before quickly seeing who Ryan was talking about.

Tef was amazed at how agile the man was, and was almost frozen in place watching him flip over Ryan and next to himself. Seeing the man's playfulness, he felt relatively safe with him, thinking he was probably friendly like Ryan. He wasn't sure about N9ne and Allen though. Mostly Allen because he looked like he'd shoot up a school if given the chance. N9ne just looked like he was trying to be scary.

"Hey, I'm not made of money you know!" Ryan exclaimed after Se7en declaring he'd buy everyone food.

"I'm just kidding, I've got tons of cash." Ryan chuckled after a short pause.

"Looks like I robbed that dude for nothing..." Allen mumbled, watching N9ne and Se7en with an uneasy stare.

Ryan looked around, realizing police sirens were going off in the distance. There didn't appear to be anyone around either, but Ryan really didn't wan to deal with the police today.

"Okay! Denny's it is, let's move people, breakfast ends soon probably so run!" Ryan said quickly said as he paced forward, expecting everyone to follow.

Allen and Tef were close behind, but Allen kept a few feet away from Tef.
