Alex mercer. That was the name of the single most powerful being to ever exist on the face of the earth. He was a man, a monster, and a terrorist. But he was also something more... A virus, and not just any virus, no, this was the ultimate virus. An entity that adapted and evolved constantly, an entity that could take on the entirety of humanity... and win.

He had gone through many hardships in his life, and un-life. For you see, Alex j mercer no longer existed, no, he was gunned down at penn station, and from the ashes of his death, rose... Zeus.

When Zeus first awoke, he had no idea what was happening to him. The fact that he regenerated instantaneously from bullet wounds that should have been fatal, was enough to convince him that he definitely wasn't normal. From there he went on to discover a great many things, most prevalent among them being the fact that the being he used to be, was the one that had released the virus. The one that had killed millions within a couple of weeks.

Soon after he realized this, he started exhibiting more powers, the more obvious ones being the fact that he could absorb and replicate anything living, gaining their memories as well as their skills and DNA. In doing this, he improved his virus every time he performed the act of carnage that was absorbing something.

But all that had been months ago. After the nuke, everyone assumed he was dead, and he kept it that way. Silently taking out entire bases of blackwatch without ever being truly seen. Now, after the city, and the world was almost rid of the scourge that was redlight and blackwatch.

And today was the day he was going to be rid of them once and for all. He was at one of their more isolated bases down in Antarctica.

Alex mercer surveyed the soon-to-be battlefield, taking in the beauty of the white landscape, as well as the multiple tanks of bloodtox over by the southeast wall of the large castle-like complex. Though he was all but immune to the murderous gas, it still served as an irritant, and when in the middle of a battlefield, that could be deadly. Not for him of course, but he still wanted to get through this without too much trouble. Honestly, taking these out had become more a chore than a hunt now, and all the thrill of chasing his prey was long gone, it was always the same pattern of "point, shoot, aaaarrrrgggghhh!"

As it was, his only plan was to jump as high as he could (which was considerably higher than his previous feats) and perform a devastator. He had found this to be the easiest way to take these bases out. He wouldn't even lose any biomass from it, he would simply absorb all the bio-matter that came into contact withe tendrils of his devastator.

All in all it was very bland, and he no longer really cared for taking the lives of others, even though the momentary rush of memories from absorbing someone left him in a state of near-euphoria. he was starting to realize the consequences of his actions, after an angry black man by the name of James heller tried to kill him, claiming that he had killed his wife and daughter. Though he didn't care per-say, the emotional pain he felt from the mans memories after he absorbed him was enough to give him pause.

But enough of that, today was the day he finally rid the world of blackwatch and red light. Leaping high into the air, Alex turned, and formed his signature hammer-fists, adding extra weight to the already multiple-ton man. He was right above the base now, stopping his gliding form through liberal use of a backwards dash, he simply let himself drop. Alex increased the weight of his considerably compact mass, and he dropped all the faster, all whilst readying the tendril-devastator.

It had been ten seconds, before he sighed to himself in annoyance "shouldn't have jumped so high" he muttered over the screaming wind. Another ten seconds passed before he came into contact with the massive building, and the immediate reaction was devastating. As soon as he hit it, a shockwave went through the ground, and tentacles erupted from the base, destroying the multitude of tanks and other vehicles that littered both the inside, and the outside of the base.

After the tendrils that made Alex mercer had retracted, he noticed one thing. Through all the devastation that lay before him, he noticed that "there aren't any bodies" Alex muttered, extremely paranoid at this point. The bio-abomination looked about for the telltale signs of a trap, but found none. So instead of standing there for hours-on-end, he decided to move. Too bad it was already too late. As he ran across the floor, it started to retract, forcing him to run faster, or fall into whatever trap the demented soldiers had concocted. But it was all for naught, for as he was about to jump, he felt a small tug, and realized that he had just been impaled through the midsection. "Shit!" Alex shouted as he was pulled backwards into the pit, as the floor fell out from under him.

Alex's' fall was short-lived however, as something slammed into him, forcing him down further. He then activated his enhanced eyes, having absorbed many an animal on his mission to destroy blackwatch, he had gained quite a few new powers, including seeing in the dark. Upon doing this, he saw the form and features of what had collided with him. It was a large plate of steel, and though he couldn't see it, he assumed it was backed by a large amount of machinery. Alex turned, looking towards the bottom, and what he saw didn't please him. From what he could see it was a man-sized box of a shiny silver material. "Titanium", Alex growled inwardly.

He only had a few seconds left, and he needed to think of something before he was slammed into the metallic box, lest he be subjected to the will of his enemies. He started to tear through the steel machinery constantly pressing down on him, and was nearly through the large-ish machine, when a sudden jolt sent him tumbling again, metal still clutched in his hands.

At last, he slammed into the floor, and immediately he was on his feet, and about to jump out, when an insanely thick lid fixated itself on the top of the metal box, he started to punch the walls and the ceiling, even activating his musclemass power at the same time as one of his newer powers, they were simply large metallic fists, an upgrade, and a downgrade from the hammer fists at the same time. They allowed for much faster punches, a smell as extreme piercing power, when shaped into a cone.

And he did just that, but just as he was about to punch through the large metal lid, he felt and heard a large rumbling from beneath him. "No" the now shocked blacklight being stated to himself in disbelief. "They plan to send me too..." He began punching the metal shell with renewed vigor, leaving large holes in the box, though behind the metal was simply more metal. His arms simply weren't long enough. The rumbling was starting to get faint, and Alex was starting to get worried. If they were truly sending him where he thought they were... It couldn't mean anything good. Both for the world and for him. For the world, because of what blackwatch might do if he wasn't there.

As the rumbling from beneath him stopped, he heaved a sigh of deep regret "I'm sorry Dana..." And with those few words said, he slumped into the corner. It was official. He was in space, and there was no going back anymore. Had he been human, he might have cried. But he wasn't, he saw that every time he looked into his sisters eyes. He was a monster, and monsters don't cry.
