Light is the character that is essentially against both sides. He beleives Bungie is evil and should be destroyed. The rest of the characters are in a big war with an evil dictator and blah blah blah, but you can read about all that in GeneralJohn's thread. *References: Buster Johnston is a mercenary who will do anything and kill anyone for the right price. He is in GeneralJohn's story as well. Snip3r is Bryan's (who is Light) friend and may or may not appear in GeneralJohn's story. In this story, getting banned is like going to jail and the moderators are like the police. I know that the first chapter is pretty boring and kind of short, but hey, it's my first time writing a story. This [i]is[/i] my first story, so don't insult me too hard. Critiscim is welcome, though. ________________________________________________________________________ [b]Chapter 1[/b] [i]Buster Johnson checked the note saying to meet up to make sure he was at the right address. He was standing in front of an old abandoned thread which hasn't been used for years. He slowly walked inside with his knife drawn, not knowing what to expect. "Don't be afraid," a voice called out. "We just want you to do a job for us." "You?" Buster asked. "I'm a little suspicious of why you would want me to do something for you." "Business is business," another voice said casually. "And if you do your job right, there will be quite a sum of money for you. 50,000 Microsoft Points to be exact." Now Buster was interested. "All right," Buster said. "So who do you want me to hit?"[/i] It was a beautiful day in Forum City. Bungie General was bustling with activity; crowds of people were discussing in threads and socializing. And no spammers or Recon freaks in sight. That's just how Bryan Russel liked it. Bryan was average height and skinny. He was slighly pale and always had an expression like he was thinking. He also had a strong sense of justice agiast criminals. Many of his friends expected him to become a famous individual. He had already created succesful threads, one of which got stickied. Bryan decided to go into a bank to withdrawl some Microsoft Points. There was a fairly short line in the bank, so Bryan expected to be out soon. Just as it was about to be his turn a man in a ski mask busted in. He had a pistol in his hand. "All right!" he shouted. "Give me all your Microsoft Points if you don't want to get killed. Everyone else get down on the floor!" Bryan looked over at the robber and simply stood still. "Hey! I told you to get the f*** down!" the crook shouted. Bryan swiftly punched the robber in the gut. This enraged the crook greatly. He kicked Bryan and shoved him onto the floor. He then pointed his pistol at Bryan and cocked it. Bryan quickly rolled out of the way as the robber shot. This time the robber grabbed Bryan and put the pistol to his chest. Just then a couple of moderators busted into the bank. "Don't shoot!" the moderator commanded as he pulled out his glock. The robber quickly decided to aim his gun at the moderator instead. Both of the mods shot the crook in the head, and Bryan dropped to the ground with his lifeless corpse. The mods asked if Bryan was okay. "Yeah," Bryan said, stunned. He quickly snapped out of it and made his withdrawl. After that Bryan decided to just go home. Bryan enterd his apartment and went on to his computer. After checking his messages, he put on a pair of high-tech looking gloves. This was his new invention, which allowed him to go on the internet wherever he wanted, along with a program to make the gloves work.. He moved his left index finger and a screen popped up in midair in front of him. "Now," he said. "Let's see if I can upgrade this to use hacking programs on it. He pressed a small button on the side of one of his gloves and it opened up. "All I need to do is insert this chip, and I should be able to create my own hacking software and access anything," Bryan said. "Maybe I can enlarge the hologram image, too." Suddenly Bryan had an idea. It might get him in trouble, but just maybe he could pull it off. "I'll just change the connection to the city's mainframe." Bryan typed on the floatring screen and clicked enter. A code pulled up on the floating screen, and Bryan looked astonished. Just as he was about to continue, his phone rang. He picked it up. "Hello?" he asked. "Bryan, you have to come see this." Bryan recognized this voice as Snip3r's. "I'm on the outskirts of town by Stosh Blvd. Hurry!" Minutes later, Bryan was standing next to Snip3r in a grassy field. "What is it, man?" Bryan asked. Snip3r just walked over to a spot where the tall weeds had been cleared. Bryan looked down at the ground and was suprised to find the dead body of Reiginko. "Wh-what?" Bryan looked even more pale than usual. "When did you find his body Snip3r?" "Right before I called you," Snip3r repied. "I was just out off-roading on my mongoose when I came around him." They were silent for a while. Snip3r finally asked, "Who do you think would do this?" "Someone mad at Bungie, or maybe someone who wanted to be known by killing a higher authority," Bryan replied. "With Reginko retired, it would be all the more easy to kill him." "Well," Snip3r sighed, "I already called the mods. There's not much we can do." Two police cars pulled up with mods in them. "I'm glad you're here!" Snip3r yelled. "The body's right over-" One of the mods pulled his pistol out and aimed at Snip3r. "Put your hands in the air!" he shouted. "You two are banned for the murder of Reiginko!"
