The Tale of a Thousand Lies: Future Arc V2


As he went towards the factory, at the back of the factory, he saw that there were only a few guards there. But as there was jamming, he then came back after a couple of minutes to notify the team.

"Sir-" john said right behind rica

"Whoa, you surprised me." Rica

"Shush." Jason said to rica.

"Sir, the back only has a few of them. And all this doesnt seem right. Its almost too easy." John

"Cause maybe their securoty is designed for human invaders. Anyways, your right." Jason

"So, what do we do now?" Jazz

"You guys infiltrate the back, i will go at the front." Jason

"Whats our mission sir?" Jazz

"Your mission is to infiltrate the factory and get our asset back, while liu and kent are to rescue and guide all the hostages out of here. I will be the decoy." Jason

"Are you sure sir?" John

"Yes. I believe all of you can achieve this mission. And remember jai, also infiltrate their systems to--"

"I know. The usual right?" Jai

"Yes. Mission starts after almost all guards are to me. Go now to your positions."

"Roger" they all agreed

With johns cloaking, he made jazz invisible as they go through towards the back, by walking at the side. Jai just stayed back so that she can hack her way using a laptop and wifi, by using the jamming signals to infiltrate her way towards the system. Liu and kent stayed near the bushes right at the entrance of the warehouse, all of them ready with their guns at the start of the mission.

"In position." Jazz and john said

"Good. Time for me to shine." Jason said before he got out of the bushes

There, the guards by the entrance spotted jason and started to say sonething in mandarin, saying to stop or we will shoot.

"Sorry guys, i cant understand you. Please speak english." Jason shouted teasingly

They looked at each other only to shoot at jason after a few seconds. Jason then produced his shield where all they used up all their bullets. More men also came in from behind only to have their weapons magnetized towards jasons back. A few minutes later, the boss arrives and stops their fire at him. In that time frame, where the guards at the back of the factory were at its thinnest, they went and killed all the guards and broke the back door. As breaking the door made some noise, they waited until some guards go out to check the door. There they killed those guards and proceeded inside to kill the rest of the guards one by one.

"I think this is poor use of my own powers." Jazz said as he killed a guard splitting his head

"Then use your gun if you dont want it." John

"Its alright. Though this is some mad scientist crap here." Jazz said looking over the equipment

Inside, they were able to see the mind linking equipment to be used in activating mutant genes, along with the device being on all this time to activate about 3 subjects. As there were about 3 subjects strapped on each table, there were also 3 more subjects which is used as the catalyst for the activation, which they also used some of the villagers.

"These guys also looks like the villagers." Jazz

"Yes, they are. Lets stop the machine before they activate." John

"But.. how?" Jazz

"I dont know. Lets just destroy the controls." John

"Good thinking. Stand back." Jazz said as he is about to destroy the controls

After jazz broke the controls, there was some kind of blast which destroyed the whole factory. At the same time as they infiltrated the factory, liu and kent went towards the warehouse where they also killed the guards.

"Liu, there are about four guards on each side, where they are standing with guns." Kent said as he touched the walls of the warehouse

"Good. This makes things easier."" Liu said with a smile

Liu then felt the atoms of the guns being wielded and melted all of them, then they went through the front door where they killed those 4 guards at each side.

"Are you all alright?" Kent said to one of the villagers to leave him on air

"They dont understand english kent. Just leave the front door open so they can escape." Liu

"Ok then. And what do we do?" Kent

"Once we are done here, we will go back to jason." Liu

"Concerned?" Kent

"Of course, hes my future husband!" Liu

"Haha, alright then." Kent didnt say anything else

After some time of evacuating the locals at the warehouse, they then heard a large blast coming from the factory where it soon also blasted the warehouse away. In the meantime, back to jason.

"What have we here? Its jason wild. What do i owe the pleasure of your visit?" The boss said to jason after he walked towards him

"Glad you could answer my invitation. What are you doing here?"

"What am i doing? Im just preparing for the end of days."

"As you can see, only the government is allowed to run these kinds of facili--"

"Save me the bullshit jason! or the reaper as they call you. Do you know that you are about to make enemies out of the underworld?"

"Yes, i do. But you have what we need."

"And what is that?"

"Miss hikari."

"Oh, her. The underworld has no use of her now as she has betrayed us."

"Why is that?"

His men were behind jason where they were about to assault him, but gladly, his back is protected by an energy field which paralyzed those who try to attack him from behind.

"Tch."

"Anyways, you have what we need."

"Lesson learned, never trust a woman--"

It was then that there was a blast which had blown everything away by a mile radius. It was also then that his shield noticed the blast and protected jason from it, noticing this, he kneeled fast for extra leverage. After the blast, he then tried to communicate with the others to no avail. It was a few minutes after that he notices the 3 subjects floating from their tables, which one of them was hikari. After a few seconds of floating, the 3 subjects all dropped towards their tables and into the ground.

"Hey! You alright?" Jason said to hikari after he went to her

It was also a few seconds more that hikari was able to wake up slowly, only to find that she has uncontrollable wind powers as she flew from jason.

"Whoa there hikari. Please control yourself first." Jason

By hearing this, since she was surprised and all from the recent events, she just controlles her emotions and was finally able to come down.

"Good. I will explain to you now what has hapoened, alright?"

Hikari nodded as it seems that her voice is a bit corrupted. Jason then explained to her the sitaution and with the offer to help them.

"Let me think first--"

"Hikari, the leader said that the underworld has now forsaken you. You now have no home and no more family to lean on--"

"I know that! At least. Hahh.." hikari said before she cried

"I will now take responsibility for you hikari. But for now, you must join our team."

"Of course, your now my husband and only family." She said as she cried

As for the others, whom were both males, where now floating again with their eyes on jason, pleading for help.

"Calm yourselves down first boys! And make your heart understand the situation!" Jason shouted to them

After a few more seconds, it seemed like they were in control now, but only to suffer even more as they would spout foam from their mouths. It was also then that jason ready his shield in anticipation of another blast, and it did happen, this time it was even more larger than the last one. After a while of the blast, the coast was now clear, they got near of whats now the remains of those 2 teens, all seem like it was being burned.

"Did you think" hikari

"No, it cant be. Shes not that irresponsible and she wont just do this without any reason at all."

"I hope your right."

"Someone is so not going to be happy with this." Jason said as they now walk away from the rubble

"Who?"

"The chinese president. In any case, lets search for them and get out of here fast."

"I agree. And after that?"

"Were off to where our lead will take us."

Now at the mountains of russia where they all flew using the powers of jason and hikari.

"Didnt i tell you that your powers would be very useful." Jason said as they were flying

"Cant you guys just shut up and fly? We arent there yet right?" John

"I know that your afraid of heights and all, but it isnt nice to--" jazz

"I know. And if you know, you shoukd also shut up, im concentrating on praying here." John

"I thought he didnt believe in gods?" Rica

"Who knew?" Liu

They all flew towards a mountain research facility where it was with a good weather. The facility had a small hangar and a front door leading downwards.

"Lets all land before they spot us." Jason

"Roger" hikari

They then descend on the foot of the mountain where they saw wolves at a distance. But as the wolves sensed great danger upon them, they just went near them and growled. They all walked towards the facility where they saw a few guards.

"Orders boss." John

"Alright team. Our mission is again to infiltrate. This facility must be investigated thoroughly with all its connections and stuff. Jai, same as usual."

"Yes sir, i hack at a distance and remain here." Jai

"But this time, john will be with you."

"Yes sir."

"As for the rest, we divide into 2 teams. Girls and boys. Girls would search and rescue. Us boys will take care of the rest."

"Roger."

"Mission start! Jai, take point and snipe them."

"Roger."

She then took point and shot those guards.

"Im now out of bullets sir." Jai

"No matter. Now its our turn to handle things." Jason

With that, they then go towards the front door and pickes up the guards ID cards. There, they begin their infiltration by going down the stairs and not getting notice as much as possible. For some hours, they were able to infiltrate much of the facility and learning nothing, until they arrived almost at the end of the facility that they saw the rooms made to imprison children and people.

"Sir, im done with hacking." Jai said over the comms

"Lets have it." Jason

"It seems that secret organizations all over the world have been financing this certain facility, and their donations are very big."

"Damn, we really hit the jackpot this time." Jazz

"What do we do now sir?" Hikari

"Stick with the mission, and keep on digging jai, i know there might still be more that we could find." Jason

"Yes sir!" All of them agreed

"Damn the protection here is very hard." Jai said before she signed out

With that, the continued the mission and rescued all the people and children from their imprisonment, while the boys continued to go deeper into the sub levels and to eventually find something else.

"Sir, i think you need to see this!" Jazz said over the comms

After a few seconds, jason was able to go to the room where jazz was and found some scientists who were researching some weird eggs.

"Oh no. What have you done." Jason

"You know what it is?" One of the scientists said

"Yes, i do. Once she knows they are here, she will be furious." Jason

"What do we do about them and these egg things sir?"

"Leave it. Remember, none of these eggs must ever touch sunlight, or else--" jason

"How do you know that too?"

"The gods told me. In any case, dont ever say a single word about all this to anyone." Jason

“hold it. Let us also tell our side. These eggs were found when we began to carve mount rushmore back in the day, it really gave us hell to deal with. So we sealed it off and away for research.”

“got it, got your story on this.”

"Sir, we got trouble. It seems that there are signs that upper echelons of every government in the world has been involved with this. You--" jai

"Boss, please get out of there, quick! Someone has come!" John said staring at the hangar where a helicopter was able to land

"Got it. Team, dont ever let them find you! Or else! And proceed with getting out of here real quick!" Jason

"What do we do sir?" Jai

"Stay there and transmit all that data to all the governments of the world. Make them pay for what they did with these people and many others." Jason said angrily

After that, they hurriedly try to escape their way out and eventually killing giards, but at the upper levels, the girls team was met with heavy fire.

"Sir, we are being attacked! I repeat, we are under attack!" Liu

"Hold out for a little more! We are coming!" Jazz

"Sir, in case we dont make it--" hikari

"Dont ever say that! Lets all fight till the very end! Liu, hikari. Cooperate with each other and make a firestorm!" Jason

"I hadnt thought about that." Liu

"Me neither." Hikari

"Hold out until we--" jason

"Ahh!" They both shouted and the comms went silent

"Damn it! They got to them!" Jason said as he was hiding while doing communications

"Yeah, and rica cant handle guns. So she probably would surrender." Jazz

"Never the less, we must proceed with escaping." Jason

"I will miss those--" jazz

"Hello jason, how good of you to drop by."

As they were going to escape, as they were on the 5th floor now, there was a voice on the comms.

"What is it? Whose this? And what you want? Im very busy right now."

"Dont you think that youve been veey hypocritical? You ordered the world to make more of you--"

"Yet i do what must be done."

"Dont you think that the world needs more mutants for this war? Oh dont worry, i have signalled off my men to not shoot at you."

"Then what are you going to shoot?"

"These beautiful ladies are quite tempting, right jason?"

"Sir, dont." Jazz

"Yes, dont jason. Dont just come here. Hahaha."

"What do you want?"

"Come here first jason, and we will talk."

"Sir, dont, its a trap." Jazz said turning off his comms

"I have to, the safety of everyone is on the line." Jason said being annoyed at the situation

There at the hangar, jason was the only one who showed up.

"I am so glad by your presence o great reaper."

"Save the sarcasm and lets get on with it." Jason said putting down his gun and raising his hands

"My, what a lovely offer. Though what do i ever get in return? Haha."

"Where are they?"

"You had someone with you, where are they?"

"Their not needed here, in fact, they are too weak for you."

"Alright then, men, show him what you have done with them."

His men then showed jason by dragging the ladies in their underwear, all of them having bruises.

"Never mind us jason, just go!" Hikari

"Sorry, im so very sorry." Rica said crying

"Jason, run." Liu

They were all presented before jason, grovelling at the leaders feet

"All this and no emotion jason?"

"Oh, im totally angry right now. And I don’t suppose that their powers are locked somewhere?"

“good guess, they are with these twins here who have the power to steal and return.”

“hahh..” jason sighed with an angry face

"Thats it, raise that anger. Who are the ones who always mock you jason?"

"They did."

"Who are the ones that belittle you jason?"

"They did."

"Who are the ones who will take away your loved ones jason?"

"The aliens will."

"Good. Now be my puppet for all eternity. Hahahahha." The leader said with a laugh

"Sorry, but my anger right now is pointed at you."

"It doesnt work?"

"What doesnt work? Your hypnotism or your mind control? Those kinds of powers wont affect me in any way."

"Why? After i set my powers to max?!"

"You see, i was controlled one time, so i know the feeling. Anyways, can we instead have a deal?"

"Deal huh. What would i get with dealing with you?"

"I will pledge my loyalty to you and in turn, let them all go, along with all those that you have captured."

"And what would i get in return? All this is favorable to you right?"

"Sorry, but thats all i can do."

"Alright then. Deal. They all have already served their purpose."

"So, let them go now."

"I wont, not yet. First you must drop all you weapons."

"Seriously?"

"There is that sword at your back right? Drop it to me. Try anything and they are dead." The leader said as he pointed his gun at liu

"Ok. Chill. I will get my sword and drop it."

With that, jason drew his sword and plunged it in his front. But right then, lightning was made from the tip of the hilt and struck the heads of the leader and his men in a matter of second, frying their brains.

"Thanks partner." Jason said as he picked uo his sword. "You guys alright?" He said before he goes towards the ladies.

"Just fine." Hikari said and the others agreed

"Good. Pick up your clothes, its time we get out of here." jason said before facing the twins. “so, you twins better return their powers now. Your so called master is no more.”

They nodded and returned the powers of fire and wind back to the original owners. But then, when they got out of the hangar with all the people, there was a shadow overshadowing the sun. When they saw what it is, it was the bug aliens ship coming to pick them up with all the bug soldiers flying down from the ship, all at the size of 10 feet tall.

"On my signal, you guys retreat. While i deal with them. Rendezvous with the rest." Jason said drawing his sword

"I will stay." Hikari said as she was feeling the headaches

"No, i will!" Liu said as she too was feeling the headaches

"Then liu, take the hostages while we deal with this."

"Why?--" liu

"Dont ask, just go." Hikari

"Fine--" liu

Jason then summons the lightning from around him, making atoms around him spark to make lightning, and struck all of the bug warriors.

"Go now!" Jason said after he raised his sword to make those lightning

“yes sir!”

With that, liu then ran along with the other people to the side where the 3 of them were waiting.

“hikari, its time to end this.”

“what should I do?”

“lift us up towards space where the spaceship is at.”

“how? I can fly but--”

“your power is air. So you can manipulate all the gas molecules around earth if you could.”

“really?”

“yes. For now, lets focus on the task at hand.”

“roger.”

In a second, she then summoned all the air around them and gathered some extra air around to make a protective ball around them, before they both flew using a tornado at their feet. Then at space, they were able to then reach the ship where the alien bugs opened the hatch for them.

“welcome jason!” mark said as jason was presented with all the leaders of the countries that wanted to make contact.

“should I be surprised or not?”

“well, you should. We are the ones who would help you with this.”

“with what?” hikari

“getting along with the queen herself. Shes currently waiting for your arrival.”

“sorry, I burned all the soldiers that came for me back on earth.”

“what?! why? They only wanted to communicate with you.”

“via telepathy or via mind control?”

“i have enough of mind control for one day.” hikari

“and who is this lady?”

“shes the last heir of the yakuza, or former heir. Until she was betrayed by her fellowmen.”

“aww. Sad. Anyways, right this way jason, the queen is waiting for you.”

They then walked towards the queens chambers while chatting some idle chatter.

“here is the queens chamber.” mark said as he signaled the soldier to open the door for him

The door was very big, as the ship is also, which is as big as the moon itself. And there, jason finally meets with the queen.

“ugh.. her mind control is really strong I give you that.” jason said after he entered the queens room

“for this, I will serve as interpreter for the queen, as they have no need for words when communicating.” mark said before he walked towards the queens side

“what have they don’t to you mark..” jason said as he facepalms. “hikari, please stay close to me.”

“why jason?”

“because with me by your side, you will not get affected by her mind control, only maybe a portion, but you will get what I mean.”

“okay then.”

“it seems that there is a field around you which she cant enter, why is that?” mark then begins to translate

“because, I have been chosen by the gods to protect this planet and the universe if need be.”

“gods? What are you talking about?”

“beings of entirely different forms than our own. Though you wont understand that do you, beings of absolute knowledge and calculations.”

“hah! I dare you speak against me boy! I am a queen!” mark said as his eyes glows

“hmm.. indeed, you’re a queen. But doesnt mean that your almighty. Anyways, what brings me to you then?”

“you dare mock me in front of these lower lifeforms? Also even kill my own men just to bring you here? Is that how you greet someone in your planet?”

“no. That is my response everytime someone gets into my head, or anyones head.”

“oh really?” she then switches her powers to full on jason

“ugh..” jason then suffers headaches

“ironic, that because you are also protecting that woman, you yourself is also affected. Humans are so pathetic.”

“really now?” jason said as he was now sweating while he stood

“hmm.. you are resilient, I give you that. In any case, you are beginning to be a thorn in my side.”

“just wait until I give you the good news.”

“what news is that?”

“it seems that your people has landed here long ago only to die a horrible fate. But as her eggs are intact, we humans have been researching all about you.”

“what?! how dare you!”

“ugh!” jason said as hikari, who was always quiet at the side also suffered

“is this--”

“yes hikari, the effects of mind control at full blast. don’t ever get away from me alright?”

“yes sir!”

“how sweet of you. Your kind seems so fragile yet you wield such a power. Come with me boy--”

“never.”

“just why do you resist boy? Isnt it your so called fate that brings you here?”

“yes, only to look at what you really are.”

“i see. If you have no will to serve me, then die.”

The queen then gets her spear at the side while jason was a bit struggling with one eye open, and when hikari notices this, she then pushes him away so to save him. In that instant, she was beheaded by her big spear.

“no! Hikari!” jason said as he ran to get her head. “This wasn’t suppose to be the plan at all though you have saved me never the less.”

“how cute, she protected you.”

In that moment, jason touched his forehead to hers where her head glowed for a second.

“what are you doing?”

“preparing for war.” jason said as he sheaths his sword and brought the lightning strikes to the alien queen.

Jason then jumped to get the queen but the queen used mark as a shield, so he kicked the man instead and got back to the ground.

“oh, I forgot about him. Now witness me at my full power b****!” jason said before he plunged the sword to the ground causing an electrical surge all over the room which affected even the queen.

With that, mark was also set free where he was then unconscious, and where jason then charges his laser cannon pointed towards the queen. After a few minutes of being knocked out, the queen stood up once more to find jason now ready to fire.

“sayonara.” jason said as he fired the laser cannon

As the walls of the room was made very hard, and as he set the settings of the laser to mediun settings, it didn’t quite make a hole on the roof of the room. But the queen is certainly dead from that.

“are you alright sir?”

“ugh.. what happened? Was I dreaming?” mark said as he finally wakes up

“i have no time to explain sir, I have to leave you for now to rescue the others.”

“what others? I was suppose to be in nevada to meet with this alien and the next thing--”

“really sir, later! We need to get out of here fast! Follow me!”

“if you say so.” mark said as jason makes him stand up

After slicing the door and making out outside of the room while killing bug aliens at the same time, as suspected, the room filled with leaders were almost in chaos as the bug soldiers were all pointing their spears at them.

“leave this to me mr president.” jason said to mark as he also saw this

“what is really happening?”

“like I said, I will explain later.” jason said before he got out of hiding

After he got out of hiding, he then slashed all the bug aliens who would point their spears at him. As the rest of the bug aliens had no queen, all of them just mindlessly attack jason only to be killed at his hands, until the last one of them came to him only to be killed.

“i have now finished the mission mr president. Whew.”

“like I said, what the hell is really happening here? Are we in space?”

“to be exact, yes. though help might be on their way.”

“thank you very much for protecting us jason, though what day is it really now son?” one of the leaders said to jason

“oh yeah, I almost forgot that today is D-day.” jason said before he rushed towards the bridge

“like I said again, what the hell is really going on here jason?!” mark said being furious

“like I said mr president, all will be explained after we come back to earth.” jason said pointing at earth from the bridge

“oh boy.” mark said as he goes wide eyed

“what are you going to do now son?” one of the leaders said as they all followed him to the bridge

“brace yourselves, its going to be a bumpy ride back.” jason said as he drew his sword

“oh no. Everyone, brace yourselves!” mark said in panic, just imagining of what jason would now do in that instant

Then jason plunged his sword towards the ground where he made the electromagnetic properties of earth carry them towards earth, and landed on water.

“dont worry, I have made this ship land over the pacific. Does anyone here have a phone with them?” jason called unto the crowd who was in a bit of a chaos

“i have!”

“thanks, I will need to borrow it and make a rescue call.” jason

“no way, let me call instead for a rescue! I have had it with you and--”

“sir, its D-day. The war is almost beginning.”

“so whats your point?” mark said holding the phone

“my point is that this is no time to be arguing. For this is the time to be helping one another.”

“your right and all, but first, I have to call for rescue.”

“ok then. Though can you call them here quickly?”

“why?”

“cause, I would need to blow a hole at glass so that we can get out.”

“is there anywhere else to get out?” one of the leaders said

“no. All exits are completely sealed off. Anyways, after your call, I would have to fill you all in on what really happened.”

It was also then that the morning sky was darkened by ships closing in on earth.

“oh boy.” jason said as he was seeing what they are seeing

“your right boy. We may need to have rescue rescue us asap.” mark said as he finished dialing the phone

“anyways, your in my care for now at least, so I will just tell my story as well as the contents of my previous mission before I rescued all of you here.”
