2025-01-06 01:36:52The Blue Corp, the foundation formed by two technologists, Professor Lambert and his partner Professor Jerkins. It was funded by the US government, aimed at being used as a backup for the military in case of serious and advanced threats like, in civil wars or intergalactic battles.
The idea of this corporation was brought about by the genius scientist, Professor Lambert who created a high pulsing energy orb, that can be used to mutate humans and turning them into super soldiers with superhuman strength and reflexes. This scientist shared his findings with his partner, Jerkins and together, they finalized the creation of one of the greatest invention of all time – a superhero maker. With connections from his partner, Jerkins, they got an agreement with the government and experiments were carried out, firstly in animals. And after ensuring success in animals, they moved to humans. The process involves chaining the human to an inclined metal chair, then connecting a series of machines to the orb pulsing high up in an enclosure. The machine channels the blue energy from the orb into the body of the human through the chest, in a slow but painful process. So, after the successful making of the first superhuman, the US government dispatched high ranking soldiers, a hundred of them, to the lab for an upgrade. There has been war threats from a few European countries and the US president is taking no chances. He must be prepared for whatever is coming. However, during the mutation process of the hundred high ranking soldiers, the orb which is the source of energy started going corrupt. The orb changed form and took a greenish colour instead of the usual blue. It started pulsing more than normal. Every form of energy in the lab was greeting absorbed by the orb and everywhere went dark except from the greenish glow of the orb in the looking darkness. Chaos started. The one hundred soldiers still in the process of mutation suddenly grew wild. They broke the restraints on their wrists and went on a rampage. With flamy green eyes and superhuman strength, they massacred the entire occupants of the lab. Strong fists went through flesh and bones as the weak humans screamed in pain before breathing their last. With blood boiling, the hundred soldiers killed two times their number in the lab. Yet, they weren't satisfied. They have no control of their body any longer. The corrupt green energy was all over them and they became more like super zombies. Zombies that turned on each other, that is. Yes, with no living soul around, they went on another round of rampage against each other. It became a free-for-all battle of superhumans. The world became a blur of greens as the war of a hundred super zombies started. The war went on for hours with no decrease in their number. Reason being they all have equal strength and none can outmatch the other. Their speed, strength and reflexes, all equal. Then,... The military base was informed of the happenings at the lab and immediately, a command was issue by the commander for total wipeout. "Nuke em all," the commander had instructed with a sad face. He was going to lose his best soldiers, but it must be done for the safety of the citizens. 30 fighter jets and missile launchers set off towards the lab, and in 10 minutes, the lab went down in flames together with the one hundred soldiers. After all these, the ruined lab was searched thoroughly but there was no sign of the orb. The orb is an advanced technology that cannot be destroyed by missiles or flames, yet it was missing. They couldn't find the two scientists too, since the lab has been razed down to ashes together with the already dead humans. So, all traces has been cleared. What a great loss for the country. The best soldiers were lost, the best technology ever was lost, and even the two best scientists were lost... And war looms. ------------------------------ "Nice story, Cassie. Nice story..." Jacq sat opposite her, expressionless. "But, how does all these concern me? How?" Cassie shifted uncomfortably on her seat and looked down at her thighs dressed in the metal suit. What are you hiding? "Tell me, Cassie. Fucking tell me or let me get the hell out of here," Jacq yelled out at her. She sat up, and looked at Jacq dead in the eyes. "Professor Jerkins didn't die during the green war. He was the one who corrupted the orb, and he escaped with the orb shortly before things got out of hand... And..." Cassie paused and swallowed hard. "And..?" Jacq urged her on. She covered her face with her hands and made a whimpering sound. "... Jerkins was my father," she bursted out. Jacq wasn't a bit surprised. "Oh. I see. I see. Your father was a traitor. I mean, it wasn't even his invention. He only helped, and he later stole it. Shame." Jacq shook his head in fake pity. Cassie stood up now, and made to slap Jacq's face but she stopped halfway. She returned her hand in frustration and spoke. "Shut up, Jacq. I'm proud of him still. Can't you see? He corrected the orb. He used the orb to create something as beautiful as this lair, and he mutated us perfectly. Have you seen the technology here? Have you seen the perfection?" She shouted, growing confident by the second. Jacq was unfazed. "He stole it. He killed those two hundred lab scientists, and the one hundred high ranking soldiers. See?" This time, Cassie slapped him. Jacq stood up from his seat, rubbing his left cheek. "Thanks for the bedtime story. Now, I'm feeling sleepy. Can you take me back home, please? I have a COD tournament to complete today." "No," Cassie snarled. "You wanna know why you're here?" "Yes please. Tell me, young lady." "Professor Lambert created a key that allows the holder have the ultimate control of the orb..." "Ugh. Another story," Jacq interrupted. Cassie continued. "My father has been looking for it all these years..." "He couldn't even make his own?" Jacq interrupted again. "Shut up!!" Her blue eyes glowed more brightly. She was infuriated. "Sorry. Sorry. My bad," Jacq faked an apology. Cassie went on... "... My father has been looking for it, and guess what?" "What?" Jacq seemed not to care but he really want to know. He realized the key must have something to do with him. He couldn't think of the possibility but this Corp would not just burst into his house and have him kidnapped. There is more to this, he knew, and he became scared of the thought of being involved in this. "IT WAS FOUND IN YOUR BASEMENT, JACQ." Holy shit. "I'm afraid we won't be releasing you any time soon," Cassie half smiled as she said that. "Come with me, Jacq. You have an explanation to do." How is this even possible? Good god Cassie put on her mask and pressed a button on the machine nearby. A portal opened. "LET'S GO MEET MY FATHER, JACQ," Cassie announced in a robotic voice. "Yeah. After that, we'll meet my mom. You'll like her." "SHUT UP!" A whoosh, and they vanished.

My Strange System Too Blue to be true
They appeared in a different dimension entirely.First of all, Jacq had no idea where the lair from earlier was located. But this current lair they appeared is sure from a different dimension.Just like how pink made up the Barbie land, the whole world here is made of blue. To much blue, it hurts the eyes.Though he couldn't see anywhere outside the lair, he was very sure this place is not Earth.Nothing like this could exist on Earth without being noticed by anyone, Jacq thought. Since Professor Jerkins has been confirmed dead during the Green war, he couldn't have made a lair with the best technology ever on Earth without raising suspicion.Jacq moved steadily behind Cassie as they branched by a corner. The hall went a long way ahead.Jacq noticed the different happenings in this mini universe. He could see robots and men going about one activity or the other. Men controlling the bots, and in some area, robots controlling low ranking men. Crazy.The workers all wore blue lab coats
My Strange System I have an idea
...They made their way out into the long corridors from earlier, running and panting at the same time.Cassie being a superhuman ran at a faster pace while Jacq tagged along behind her, slowing them down.They needed to reach the spot where the portal transported them to when they arrived. The portal can only be activated at that spot, but it's still a long way before they will get there. Not with Jacq's slow human pace.Yes, they had blinded her father so he wouldn't know where they went. But, it is only a matter of time before the soldiers begin the chase. They are probably on the chase now.Cassie clicked a button on her wrist as she ran. A hologram popped out showing the building plan of the lair and the best possible route to take to reach the portal on time. Cassie spotted a shortcut a minutes run to her left."Hurry up, Jacq! The next turning by the left! Be quick," she shouted while running without gasping much for breath.Jacq managed to quicken his pace a little at the expe
My Strange System A tragic plan
"... I mean, can't we just disconnect it and shut down this stupid lair," Jacq paced back and forth as he said that.Cassie disagreed..."No, we can't. We should not. The lair will crumble to dust if we so much as touch it. And we can't remove it. The orb has a mind of its own, have you noticed?" She paced restlessly too."But you said you know what to do... Forgotten?" Jacq fired at her.Cassie sat down for a while, trying to gather her wits together. She knew what to do. She has the plan all ready in her head. But..."It could be dangerous," she said softly to Jacq. "It could be dangerous," she repeated.Her first plan was to run up the wall with her superhuman speed and strength, and disconnect the orb like Jacq said. But, the whole lair would shut down and it could mean the death of everyone inside. The two of them included.Her second plan was to channel the energy from the orb to a maximum level, in the direction of the door to eliminate the incoming soldiers.That could prove d
My Strange System Welcome, Goodbye... Welcome
The cold chamber was a speaker producing different array of sounds. The whirring noise never stopped, the beeping sound of active machines, the thrumming sound coming from above, and the ragged breathing coming from Commander Cassie.She wasn't going to give up saving this boy she had pronounced calamity upon. Her guilt won't allow her. She doesn't want to admit she has caused his death. She doesn't want to admit that he's not going to wake up from this deep slumber.Jacq was laid face up on a bed with series of wires and tubes attached to his body. His face was completely covered by a transparent mask to help with breathing just in case.His bare chest was loaded with taped wires and multiple syringes piercing the skin into the heart. The wires all connected to another machine operating electrically as it makes the non stopping whirring noise.The laboratory which the little battle for survival took place has been prepared and transformed into a mini hospital in an effort to revive J
My Strange System The System
Never in Jacq's entire life has he ever fantasized about having an actual voice in his head, talking to him without question.Worse still, he is seeing things... A blur screen popping before his eyes. And anytime that happened, he just shuts his mind, trying desperately not to yield to this strange change in his body.He kept running down the hall in humorous craziness.His whole body still tinged due to the overt sensitivity he had suffered after he woke up from the blast.Jacq rounded a corner, gasping for breath. He had run too much and his body is reacting poorly to it. Because of this, he had to take a rest.He sat on the cold floor by a corner, and breathed hard. Buckets of sweat dripped down his bare upper body and his consciousness was fading again.The voice came again... Like it had been waiting, patiently.[Jacq..?]Jacq got startled at first, but this time he decided to calm down and let the whole scenario sink in first. Maybe he could try and see how this strange voice ca
My Strange System A Blue Conscience
************************************Cassie understood.Greg and Callum understood later. The three of them had just been bested in combat against Jacq. It came as a huge blow to them. They had never lost before.Well, Greg and Callum had lost multiple fights against Cassie, their commander but that was mostly because she had been mutated with special attention and she even has a special skill since she was a commander. She is a great fighter, and it is understandable losing to her.But, bring trashed hands down against a boy they had tied up and laughed at in their lab some hours ago, was unfathomable. It hurts their pride. Especially the silent blond boy, Callum's.They started coming to terms with Jacq's strange movements and attitudes, but what was even stranger was the way he ran away down the hall after he had whooped their asses.Has he run insane? These thoughts bothered Cassie.She spread the team out in different directions to look for Jacq. She scanned the entire lair with
My Strange System New Beginning
Jacq appeared at the door of his house, the same spot at which he was kidnapped. It was dark outside and everywhere was quiet. He walked to a sofa and slumped heavily on it.He was tired mentally, not physically. The whole experience is so hard for him to process. Rightly so, he is a sixteen year old high school boy who dwelled heavily on his imaginations,, but right now, his imaginations had come true and he couldn't believe all that had happened.Maybe it wasn't true, he thought to himself. Maybe it was all just an illusion. He raised his head and checked the door handle and saw the burnt patch where they had forced the door open. It wasn't an illusion after all. It all happened.Jacq tested his powers again. He reached deep into his mind and focused on his vision. He could see through the door into his room. The scattered clothes still lay there. He could see the broken wardrobe door, he scanned the room further and his mood soured when be saw his game console split cleanly into t
My Strange System Sweats and Threats
Jacq's head was bent in thought as he treaded the lonely path on the way to school. He has a lot on his mind. Lots he couldn't even tell his best friend, Karl.Jacq wasn't convinced of the peace that has been happening in his life lately. He knew what is there waiting for him. The system of the greatest human weapon in the history of mankind that he had encountered can never be one to give him so much peace, he knew.As of late, he has been living in perfect harmony with the system. He had even given it a name – Stranger. The system had reacted rashly against the name but Jacq would have none of it. At the moment, all these are all a form of amusement to him. On his free evenings, he goes out down to the most deserted location in the area, just to test his speed and reflexes.

Mutant Detector
Activating the radar detector ability that he copied from Tade, the tunnel suddenly turned a greenish shade before his eyes. Each turning in the tunnel opened up easily to him as his mind traveled far before him.Everything stopped moving when he sensed the presence in the tunnel. Two men and a woman, it seemed, he couldn't be sure since this is the first time Jacq is using this ability but these people sure didn't number more than three.In the muscular hand of one of the men was the Mutant detector device that Stranger told him about. It flashed red light against the green vision that Jacq was seeing.The three figures appeared as a light yellow colour against the green environment that Jacq was seeing for easy detection of people and movement. Jacq could see that they were moving restlessly from foot to foot as they discussed, one of the men was gesticulating wildly.The man holding the device turned immediately to Jacq's line of vision as if he knew that someone was watching them
Unexpected Information
[The tunnel is free. Enjoy your stroll] a notification popped.Jacq gave a soft chuckle that attracted a raised eyebrow from the kid. He looked down at the boy, his smile getting broader and he managed a wink. Then Jacq remembered that he didn't know the boy's name. Olatunde never told him."Hey, what is your name?" Jacq asked.Of course, the boy remained silent.[Scanning...][Name: Tade Adeola][Age: 12][Form: Mutant][Skill: Spy]Jacq was instantly amazed at this new development he's experiencing. He never knew the system could do something like this. Now, he doesn't have to ask for people's name and status before he knows them. The system can do any research work for him anytime.A tiny voice said in his head, [you will need to settle down to discover all I can do]Ugh, if only this system can send notifications alone and stop speaking in my head... Jacq thought.[I can do that too, if you want]Yes, I will love that...[System set to mute mode][Notifications only...][Completed
A secret tunnel
Jacq caught up with the boy in few seconds, cursing silently after him. Either the boy did not hear or he chose not to bother, he kept on along a small patch of bare land amidst the sea of grass before jumping suddenly, diagonally to his left. Jacq followed suit, lifting his body weightlessly and jumping silently a few inches from the kid.The going was slow as the boy looked back continuously to make sure Jacq never missed a step. Then, the hop became more frequent, left to right, to right, to left, forward... They went on jumping the invisible landmines, apparently visible only to the boy.Then, as if he remembered something, the black boy looked back one last time, with one eyebrow raised meaningfully at Jacq, before running two steps forward and stepping sideways to his right, the last of him concealed by the thick dry bushes.Alarmed, Jacq followed at once, running two steps and jumping to his right just as he did. He got behind the thick set of bushes and saw the black figure of
Follow the swift Shadow
A week has passed since the suiting and preparations. The present day gave birth to tight chests, ragged breathing, muffled curses, nervous whispers, and the greatest of these feelings — Fear.Mutant soldiers, old and young, friends and foes could be seen clustered in groups, whispering both hopeful and damning thoughts. Unison never seen amongst them ensued in the past seven days. Arguments reduced and fights had come to a complete halt... Only one thing was on everyone's mind, and only one thing kept them together — the inevitable war.Many have been mutated long before the Green war and before the orb was declared to have been destroyed. They have secured properties and lives of wealthy men, some even engaged in little street battles when it comes to it. Many have lost friends and families since their recreation, many have lost their humanity, and few have even lost some body parts. Every man lived with his own fate and bore the consequences of acquiring inhuman powers. As a result
Cassie's POV
Cassie walked up silently to a raised platform inside the suiting lab. As she walked, murmurings were heard among the onlookers of the lab. Cassie bowed her head shyly as she made to speak. She was not built for this. She had always shied away from public speaking but right now, she has no choice... These are her people now. She is their commander and she wasn't about to let go of that position based on fear. More than half of the people here will jump at her post at any given opportunity.She raised her head and breathed deep one last time. The crowd before her gave her a little scare. She could see the glum face above his shuby blue suit, Greg's face plastered with a wide smile like a proud kid cheering his parents on, she could see Olatunde the Nigerian boy's eager face, like be was about to jump a playmate on a ring. She could see a whole lot of familiar faces that she hasn't seen together at once... Mutants created by her father, mutants bit recognized by the American government.
Let's get suited
It's finally happening. I didn't know it will be this fast...Right... Ugh...Jacq pressed hard on the Power Off button of the TV remote angrily that he almost broke it. It took all level of self control to stop him from smashing it down in the tiled floor. It is here... It is finally here, the reason for this system. The reason for building these technologies.Professor Lambert had carried out these measures just for the sake of America. His personal gain was not thought about when he embarked on developing the system from the already created blue orb. The owner of the system holds the power to lead the war and is essential if there was any chance of this war being won. And the owner of the system is me? Me? The more I think of it, the crazier it becomes... How..?"I can just stay hidden, can't I?" Jacq asked hoping for a reply from Stranger. There was only silence. He went on..."After all, the country is not aware of the existence of the orb anymore. They were convinced it wa
Reconciliation
The first crow of the day sounded down a deserted alley. In the gloom of the midnight, dark buildings rose high down the street with the moonlight making a silhouette of them. It had just rained and the ground was all muddy and slippery to walk on. Down a corner a little distance from the beginning of the street, a stray cat leapt over a gutter running from a stone thrown lamely at it. There were whispered sounds coming from cloaked men behind a dirty bakery."Munoz, listen to me. You only have three days to find the boy. After that, I won't defend you this time around." A dirty old man in his late sixties addressed his mate. He was dressed in black coat and a dark hat that concealed half his face. His foul breath mixed with the scent of the cigarette hanging from his mouth, giving a more offensive odour.Munoz stood opposite him in similar dress code, black on black. A middle aged man with a slightly tanned skin and a hooked nose. Coarse strands of hair scattered all over his sharp j
A Black Saviour
Stranger, I think I should join them, Jacq thought in his mind.[Don't.]Jacq whispered a "why?" But he wasn't expecting an answer. He was engrossed in the insane combat between these two – Cassie and Olatunde.His sharp senses made him capture every movement they made, no matter how fast. The speed of the fight would have made everything look like a blur if observed by a normal human eye.After a short while, the two foes stopped to dialogue a little. From where Jacq hid, he could understand that Olatunde was proposing peace in exchange for something. That something though, he had no idea. Cassie showed a defiant reaction with an angry face, and in no time, Olatunde pounced on her again ready for another battle.Ugh, she's stubborn as always. But, Olatunde... How did he come about this power? He claimed this is his first time in this country.[Are you asking me or you're thinking to yourself?]"Both," Jacq whispered. "I mean, the orb is the only object responsible for..." He broke of
