Limitless (WORM)

Chapter 3: Chapter 2



Dauntless

PRT ENE

5th February 2004

Brockton Bay has been vibrating with excitement and fear since the incident last night.

I remember being asleep with my daughter, Jean when the fucking city wide alert alarms went off. I thought maybe Lung had ramped up and was attacking the Rig only to see on of the scariest attacks I have ever seen including ones used by Endbringers hit the Boat Graveyard.

The explosion shook the entire city. I had to keep Jean with the neighbours (some PRT agents) and move out to intercept.

The three charges of the day I put them all into my mask with a sight specialised enhancement which allows me to see everything very very clearly and even slows down my perception a bit.

I saw him.

A possible Case 53 or a powerful Changer. Pure white hair coming down past his neck in the style of dreadlocks. Red eyes with surprisingly a ring around his pupils,dark skinned and built like a fucking Greek statue. The fucker was tall. At least 7 foot.

His attack completely decimated everything in the Boat Graveyard even left a mark on the seas itself as it refused to come back together for a time.

I also noticed the surrounding areas were completely frozen in hard ice. So that's two powers already. Let's hope he's a special kind of grab bag and not a trump.

But he is definitely a brute and can fly. With what we have seen he is close to or on the level of the Triumvirate but that is just speculation.

"The subject given the temporary code name-Azazel was seen flying over Africa this morning by someone on PHO. I can't begin to even tell you how dangerous he is and if he returns treat him like Lung." said Director Piggot.

"That's a mover rating right there." He flew to Africa from the US in a few hours." added Assault to what Piggot was saying even as she gave him a stink eye for saying the obvious.

Armsmaster coughed a bit to garner attention before saying,

"Regardless, we have gotten the Chief Director's consent to put him as an A-class villain like Lung. If he comes back we must be ready to stop him from getting territory in this city."

Unknown Earth

Cauldron Base

"The path has changed. Someone triggered and is powerful enough to be out of my control." said Contessa with a slight frown on her face which is alarming to Alexandria as she hardly sees the woman show her emotions at all.

"It should be the new parahuman code named Seraph from Brockton Bay. He completely eradicated the Boat Graveyard in a single attack before flying of to Lagos, Nigeria. The place under the control of the Warlord, Sanyo the one who has control over lighting on a macro scale." said Numberman as he typed away on his computer.

I had seen the video of the man and personally do not want to feel his power. A high level brute with elemental abilities and flight. An Alexandria package.

"Is that his name? The path to preserving Cauldron existence from the masses increased from 1300 steps to 3765 since he triggered significantly increasing our chance of exposure." she added which sent shivers down our collective spines as that means he will be a significant challenge to our authority and operations.

"Is it possible to take him out now?" asked Numberman which Contessa nodded but added with a grimace.

"There are 789 steps to defeating him but it ends with the death of The Custodian, myself, Alexandria and finally mutual destruction between him and Eidolon. I discarded that path as killing him will leave us significantly hampered and we will never recover in time for the final days." She clarified as a whole new wave of shock passed through us.

Even David was quiet as this painted a picture of one man able to go against us and almost assuredly pull out a win. It's been a long time since I felt mortal against other parahumans and I am guessing this is a first for David as well.

Eidolon got up and called for Doormaker and portables to god knows where leaving us stewing in our thoughts.

"Can we approach him to join the Protectorate?" I asked hoping for a raft on this sinking ship.

"No. Any attempts end badly. We can leave him alone but eventually our interests will intersect and he will make a decision to remove us from the board." she added.

"Then we do it first. First sign of anything from him sign a kill order on him. Fabricate something if possible. We eliminate him before he does us." I said while bringing this to a close.

Lagos,Nigeria

Seraph

This world is very strange to me. It's like seeing a parody of my Earth. There even is an alternate dimension Earth that is very close to my original Earth.

I came here to see if I could find my dimensional counterpart and lo and behold he is here too although different. His family died in an attack by warlords and he triggered with a strong ability that I recognise from fiction from my world.

Kyoka Suigetsu.

Complete hypnosis of all the senses with a decent brute rating and supersonic speeds making him one of Nigeria's strongest heroes.

He goes by the name, Mirage. It is widely believed facing him is a death sentence especially since he has a sword and is not afraid to use it.

Personally I approve but I refrained from contact but decided to help a little. He is currently on a crusade against the Warlord, Arakis who is able to cause sand storms on a massive scale and is in control of all of Lagos and some surrounding states.

While he was in bed sleeping I killed him amd left without a trace leaving their organisation scrambling allowing him to mop them up easily and take control from the warlord.

I hope he knows what he is doing after all these people won't thank him for saving them.

With that I decided to leisurely travel the world to learn more about it as I made my way slowly back to Brockton Bay.;

After all if this world is fiction , then a place I have never heard of will be considered important in a story since it's an original state.
