Paint It Red

Prologue

"A-ah! dead body !? Kyaaaaaaahh !!!!!!"

"Whoa !! W-what ?! where ?!" a sudden scream of terror hurls around his ears and just like that, his natural alarm clock wakes him up.

"Y-you're not dead ?!"

Confused and a bit shaken she's looking at a man sleeping in the dumps.

"You're a bit perceptive\, I'm speaking with you right ?" *yawn* (oh boy.. I wonder what time it is..)

"W-why are you covered in blood then, and why are you sleeping in the dumps ?!"

a strange suspicious man wearing a tight choker in her neck black pants highlighting a blood splatter almost covering his white polo shirt ..

(Ms. Perceptive sure got a lot of questions..) "It's dried up blood there's a difference, and I just kinda lose my consciousness here, so i just decided to take a nap.."

Looking at him closely, his unusual silver-colored messy hair his clothes tattered covered with dried blood and underneath those clothes reveals his firm muscles his skin may be pale and white as snow but it's visibly smooth and no scars or roughness is visible, his small lips is cheery red, a nose that symbolizes a cool tactician crimson-colored eyes he sure is a looker.

"A-are you okay ?!"

A sudden change of demeanor flashes warning signals for him, as he looks at her eyes widen shows an ulterior motive from this middle-aged housewife.

"I'm an okay  lady,  thanks for asking, well I'll be on my way, I'm sorry to have bothered and I might have frightened you a bit..."

And he left the woman in awe, walking and staggering a bit, he walks for miles as he finally arrives at his house, or what's left of it...

"Oh' great, I knew it, the broadcast of the fight that broke out from yesterday was here, seriously why do they have to fight? what are they fighting for ? a brawl between Evos is pointless can they just talk things over like Evos usually does, makes me miss the old fashioned one's, fighting for justice for the people, but now, it's all about the sponsors, who's the most flashy, the strongest..seriously ZHEO's is a sick expensive pointless joke"

As digs around the remains of his house looking for useful stuff to salvage..

"Evos today, it's super easy for them to destroy properties making it super hard, for super ordinary people, to live with their super normal lives...they destroying people's tax Zions, ..who am i to complain anyway i live in this restricted dump for free, using all the commodities that people left behind when this place is still, livable.." (well time to look for another place to live, maybe a view from the seaside or the top floor as always want a veranda..)..as he walks to the ruins of his house carrying only a pillow, blanket, and a toaster....

He lives in District Z , a restricted zone where a strong monster always seems to appear for some unknown reason, before this was a busy town a large commercial area filled with shopping malls and building complex, whopping pedestrians walking busy people in every corner of the street with now it's a ghost town. No people in sight, except for one Evo who choose to live in the most dangerous area in the 24 District.

(In the world full of heroes most of them are members of ZHEO ( Zion Heroes Elite Organization) that is controlled by large Multi-Billion Zion Corporation. The olden days of Comic Books Heroes fighting for justice and good is been long gone and forgotten now most of the fight for fortune and fame, the world may be , or somewhat maybe in peace but a battle lingering just beneath the clouded horizon... lingers ....why the **** am i  monologuing  ? )

"Anyway better look for another house fast, it seems that it's going to rain...."

The following morning he found a small apartment building he decided to live in the smallest room for that's the only choice he had, it has the only working water and electricity still running so it's not all that bad, or so he thinks..

*Toot*toot*toot* his alarm clock rang..still sleepy eyes still blurry ...

"What time is it ?...oh great it's only six, ...first time I  woke up without snoozing.."

As he scurries for food he wanders his eyes across the room when he notices the fridge, that he instantly regretted opening and I'm not gonna describe it here for this maybe a matured content novel i have no words to describe the horror of what's inside that small fridge that he threw instantly out the window, the only food he had to scavenge in the remains of his old house is a genetically modified glowing apple that has too much radiation in it he might evolve into a whole new being he was planning on eating that thinking that it might come in handy someday but he denies his self to eat that for breakfast so scratch that.

"Air....well air is free..."

He walks into his trash filed messy apartment goes to the veranda and opened the sliding door,  he accepted the fact that the only breakfast he could afford is the freaking air outside...

The rain was really pouring outside, he was greeted by a field of ruins with a few withstanding building from a far distance...

He exhales deeply.

"Hmmmppp.Aaah.....Well, screw breakfast .. time to look for work.."

He looks back at the messy house his living in, a few decent appliances are still usable, old models but still usable, 21-inch flat smart vision, air-conditioning unit noisy as hell that would drive neighbors crazy, good thing he doesn't have one for miles, to begin with, a few kitchen utilities and gadgets fridge that he throws away, a clean bathroom which is surprising compared to the condition of the house shower and a bathtub single sofa in the living room a small table a bed and clothes drawer in both rooms ..

"Well I guess this will be my room...(it's a lot bigger than the first one..)

He opens the clothes drawer and saw a few clothes still in the clothes hanger ...

"Oooh a red polo shirt so my enemies won't see my blood when I bleed, pfft as if I had enemies..." jokes to himself while wearing the red polo shirt and the black jacket.

"Not so bad, if I say so myself.," he said while looking at the mirror drawer smiling and doing random poses.

".....Who am i kidding, ..."  he left his house and returned to his monotone soulless look...

While he walked through the ruins of the ghost city imagine how busy it was before this place was abandoned the noises of the market streets, people chatting, vehicles passing by, but now the place is surrounded by a deafening silence...

Until....

He heard an ear-splitting roar from a distance as the building rumbles a few blocks from where he is.

He runs inside one of one the building kneeling low while hiding and observing it in the shadow.

(What was that? Damn It looks really strong !!)

The 20 foot Death Lizard, stopped moving as if it was looking for something tasting the air with its long slithery tongue..

(Shit can it smell me ?! **** i need to get away from this place, I'm in deep shit..) while she crawls slowly carefully trying not to make a sound..

slowly crawling away aiming for the open back door of the abandoned coffee shop he was in, he can hear the Monster large footprints making a large thump as it's every step breaking the asphalt.

But then...

*Clatter*Crinkle* a sound of falling glass breaking on the floor when he accidentally bumps his head on the coffee counter as his about to make a dash for the exit...

"Shit..."

*Godzilla Screech* the Giant Humanoid Lizard sprinting in his direction.

"SHIT !! SHIT !! SHIT !!" (where's a Hero when you need one !)

He bolts to the door and crashes into the next building window, the Monster close on his tail, wrecking all the buildings in its path.

Looking back behind him he can clearly see the spine-chilling glare from its green alien eyes, probably hungry for a meal it seems to be more aggressive when it spotted him. He vaults, jumps, WHOA, dock, slide and climb to every obstacle on his way, while running he seems to hear a strange gurgling sound coming from the lizard, in a split second.

*Spit*Splash

"WHOA!"

" W-WHAT !?"

"ACID SPIT !! THAT THING HAS ACID SPIT ?! FOR FUCKS SAK - !!"

as he jumps from the second-floor window of another building he forgets that he's not strong enough to break through wall, slams flat, skids down and falls safely in a garbage dump that closes into him while the ruble of the current building collapse and bury the dump that his in...

He escaped, it was pure dumb luck, the remaining spit scent of the Giant Humanoid Lizard musk his own scent the Lizard was long gone when the acid melts the ruble that buried the dump, the same would have happened to him if he hasn't moved away..

Continuing his trip to look for a job, he finally arrives at the busy District Y. It may not be the safest City a lot of people still choose to live here because every District has a ZHEO base in it, the people put their trust on the Evos who's been controlled by ZHEO even though they know how corrupt the system is , they have no choice to put their faith and blindly believe in it.

The sun was high, the rain has stopped his stomach is grumbling, while he patted his dirtied clothes to get the dirt off it, compose himself back patted his cheek for the motivation he took a deep breath, and the ground started shaking.....

(Now, what ?!)

*Boom!!*Rattle!!*Shakes!!*

District Y was hit by a magnitude 9.5 earthquake...screaming, crying people running for their lives The fear of debris, shattered, billboards that could tumble on top of them and crush them, and the fear of the ground cracking open and swallowing them.  you can actually see the ground move in ripples. In a single-story building, you can definitely see the floor rippling and moving. On the second story of an earthquake prepared building, you can see the floor moving but also the walls. The walls start with the ripples but, then start doing a circular motion in a mere moment few building who's standing strong and firm is now in rubles car crashing left and right..it lasted a mere half an hour but to the people who experienced them, it lasted forever...

The hustle and bustle of the busy city streets engulfed in silence...

Utter, Sullen Silence......

 A few moments later...

Few scattered, groan, eina, people crying children weeping a cry for help can be heard ....

When the quake start he rushed to the building near to him which is a 24-hour convenience store..

"Hey are you hurt ?.." he asks the young lady beneath her...who's slowly regaining her consciousness

"Y-yeah...somehow..-t-thank you for saving me ..." it was really dark she can only hear his homespun monotone voice...

"Don't thank me yet, we still need to get out of here ..." ( i don't feel any pain, i guess I'm okay , first let's check if i could lift this..) he tries to lift the debris covering them, providentially it was just a magazine shelf a few box above it and a food shelf on top of it..

"Well, aren't we lucky........." He stopped when he sees a couple of people who were crushed by the building pillar probably from a tall building next to the store, the body was from a man and a woman just beside them. When he looked from the shattered windows dust still field the air, it was like a fog he covered his face with the sleeves of his leather jacket.

"This is terrible.." the young lady dropped from his knees as she sees the dead body...

"Don't look at them ....! " ( i guess it's a bit to late for that..) while glancing at the girl who's currently vomiting due to shock and disgust of what she just saw.

"Anyway, take every food and water you can carry, you'll need them, it'll be pandemonium after this..." (now let's see how the ZHEO handle this chaos..)

 [ZHEO Headquarters District Y]

*Red Lights Blaring*

-CONTROL ROOM-

"Damage Report.."

" 85 %  Of City structure was completely  destroyed, all Major Bridge Connecting to our City is destroyed, Power Station is having a meltdown, Communications are dropped as well.."

"What about our constituents ?"

"5% of our Major constituents and their buildings are still standing ..but we may have to send a representative to make sure they're okay.."

"Send Emergency Units to the Communications Company we need to have our connection back.."

"Call for Big Hero Smasher, send him to our constituents his size may give our Mayor Constituents a sense of security.."

"Assign Meteor Metal Guy and let him take care of the meltdown, send Zion Special Response Unit we need to get our Power asap! back up won't last long.."

"Chairman, what about the people ?"

"What about them? *sigh*

"......................................."

"Fine send the Class C's let them handle the people, since they must be dying to  play the hero this time ..."

"MAMA !!, PAPA !!!"

Total Pandemonium...

The noise of people crying out for help though it was scattered it was loud, everyone who survived was scurrying for food and water, everyone's fighting for survival no one is helping each other, occupied by there own distrust to survive..

He was walking when along with the rubles of the broken city, a familiar site for him, but to them, this was hell on earth.Wandering around the city of rubles..

"Someone help me, Mama' my mama' !!"

"Let go kid, i don't have time, ask someone else !!" as the man pushes the kid covered with scratch fall from the ground hard on his back, he scrapped his shoulders..Crying but not because of his wounds but from her mom who's badly injured..

"M-my mom' , s-someone help please..." his cries for help were loud at first running and crying for help but as he realizes that no one would help, he slowly loses hope..

"S-somebody...my momma..." He approached him..

"You're brave kid, don't worry now, everything will be okay..." he rubs the kid's head as he's plaintiff smile surprised the kid a little bit.

As he discerns the condition of the lady lying on the ground ..

(Broken shoulders, shattered rib she seems to be bleeding internally, few cuts, a concussion, but her legs seem fine...i guess i can walk this off...)

(But boy this'll hurt so much, I'll probably hate myself in the morning..) He looks at the crying kid ones again , confused and troubled ...

"Hey, kid! , you'll owe me for this.."

*Splurge*Gush*

As soon as he puts his hands on the ladies' head, cuts, bruise, and crackle can be heard and appearing coming from inside and coming out from his body, as it simultaneously healed the woman's body all the physical and internal injuries transfer to him. He grits his groans a bit as he swallowed all the pain..

In just a few seconds the lady was completely healed and started to regain her consciousness, the crying kid runs to her fully healed mother weeping ...

Tattered and Battered with Broken shoulders, shattered rib, and bleeding internally he sucked it up and staggering to stand up...

"M-Mr...? are you okay ?.." the kid looks at him in awe confused about what happened, but he looks a bit worried..

(Do i look like I'm okay\, kid...) "I'm fine..*Blurrghh**Cough!*Cough!* coughing and vomiting blood look not so convincing at all...

"Are you an EVO? , T-Thank you for saving me..." the lady he saves is completely fine now while she bows in complete gratitude...

"I saw that an EVO !! he can heal, Save my son, please !! " someone from the gushing smoke suddenly appeared crying and begging him to help his dying child..

"Well yeah, technically i can, but.."

"Yes, he can he healed all my injuries !!"

"Now wait lady !!.." (this ungrateful sob')

"Is it true ?!"

"Save my child !!'

"Help my wife !!

  The man words spread like wildfire as a gust of wind clears the blinding smoke, he saw a great number of injured people walking towards him...

"Oh, man...."
