The girl thought while watching the scenery fly past her, today was just a like any other day waking up at 4am following her drill sergeant morning workout, than eating breakfast. But before she can even finish her breakfast, a group of soldiers came into the mess hall told her about some project and before she could even respond found herself practically thrown into a copter leaving everyone in the mess hall dumbfounded. Still somewhat in shock the girl looks at her kidnappers trying to figure out what they want. ¡°Sorry miss are attention wasn¡¯t to kidnap you.¡± One of the solider said while noticing the girl gaze. ¡°It just that we¡¯re on a tight schedule and we couldn¡¯t wait for your response. ¡°O-ok¡± was the only thing the girl could say the solider was trying calm her down but all it did was raise more questions.

Finally after 2 hours the copter arrive at some base near a mountains ranges. As soon as the helicopter landed she was led out of the copter, ¡°sorry miss we can¡¯t show you around base since we got another mission, but someone should be coming for you in a few minutes see you later.¡± As soon as he finished talking the solider got back on the helicopter and then took off. ¡°Wow they really are on a tight schedule.¡± Alisa just stood there watching the helicopter fly away not knowing what do until someone called out to her. ¡°Ms. Fawn I presumed?¡± ¡°Y-yes that¡¯s me¡± Alisa turns around and noticing the solider. ¡°Right this way please¡± the solider started to walk motioning Alisa to follow him. After walking for a few minutes Alisa notice that they pretty much walk past all the barrack and into something like a science department after minutes of silence Alisa finally spoke up, ¡°Um excuse me where are we going?¡± The solider turns around having a slight confuse expression on his face. ¡°You didn¡¯t know?

After entering Alisa saw three people wearing white lab coats sitting around a fancy desk that look like it belongs in the oval office, looks like they were having meeting. ¡°Sorry looks like we¡¯ll have to finish this meeting another time gentleman¡± A man blonde hair and a buzz cut who I presume to be Dr. Thomas stood up ushering the lab coats to the door. After the lab coats left Thomas turn toward Alisa let out a gentle smile which made her look away nervously, ¡°Thank you for escorting her to my office¡± Thomas said while turning towards the soldier. ¡°No problem sir but I must head back to the barrack since where short on man power.¡± ¡°Go ahead and thanks again¡± The solider give Thomas a salute and then left the office leaving Alisa and Thomas alone. ¡°Ms. Fawn I¡¯m very happy you could make it¡± Thomas held out his hand waiting for her to shake it. ¡°N-nice to meet you¡± Alisa said while nervously shaking his hand. ¡°Ha-ha no need to be nervous, c¡¯mon sit¡± Thomas motion her sit in a chair that was facing his desk which he proceeded to sit in. ¡°Now the first thing I want to say is sorry we met under this situation to be honest at first I was planning on personally coming to you talk you, but the higher ups stop me so I had no choice but to send someone to get you, which brings us to this situation¡±. ¡°I¡¯m not going to sugarcoated it humanity is losing this war even with all are superior technology were still no match for these creatures which is why I created a new project that will combat them directly and I want you to join it.¡± Thomas look at Alisa with a dead serious look that stun Alisa for few seconds. ¡°Why me I¡¯m just trainee that just got out of school?¡± ¡°That true but I don¡¯t want soldiers I want someone with a sense of justice that will fight this threat without fear and also lead this world to a new future¡­ A new dawn and I think that person is you.¡± It certainly was true Alisa always had a sense of justice which she seem to inherit from her mom. Her mother use to tell her stories of when she was in the army like when she and her platoon save a starving village from slave traders or when they led people that got caught in an earthquake to safety. Which much to her mother dismay made her want to join the army? ¡°Listen I know you may had been forced to come here but you get to choose whether you want to join or not¡± Alisa study the man face he didn¡¯t seem to have any ill attention plus the main reason why she join the army was to save people just like her mother. To Alisa this was like a dream come true. ¡°Yes I want to join the project¡± Thomas smile widen ¡°excellent I knew you make the right decision well than welcome to a New Dawn.¡± Divided Chapter 2 Divided After joining the New Dawn project Dr.Thomas voluteer to show me around the base and explain its history. This base is located near Appalachian Mountain it was created to unite the world and deal with the Fallen. While he was still explaining why the base was made. I notice something weird, This base was made unite the world but so far I only seen American personel. This really started to bug me most of the soldiers that I met said they were short soilders, so why is no one helping us? "And this is will be your room.. Alisa you alright?" "Huh yea" Lost in my thoughts I completely stop paying attention to him. "Is there anything you want 2 ask me?" "You said this base was made to get everyone together why isn''t anyone from different countries here?" Dr.Thomas made a strained face like he was trying to find a way to explain it. "Yes.. Well everyone is still having some trust issue" "Trust issues?!! Those things are commiting genocide and were still not doing anything about it! Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings. Realzing I was yelling at him I clasped my hand on my mounth. "I''m sorry" I mumble with my hands still on my mounth, which made Thomas laugh a little. "Don''t be I understand how you feel thats another reason why I created this project, but thats a discussion for another time for now you should get rest we got alot of things to do tomorrow. After showing Alisa her room Thomas left to let her rest and absorb everything that happen today. "Cool I get my own room" Alisa who was use to sharing room with other people was happen to have some privacy, although her room looks like it she ar a hotel instead a miltiary base. She even got her own shower. After laying down on her bed she realize how tired she was. " New Dawn huh" Alisa blurted out in a half sleep state. Thomas said this project will change the world, I wonder want mom would think of this. AN: lol this looked longer when wrote it in my notebook I tried make next chapter longer Force Evolution Holy crap this took me forever to write. Well I did promise a longer chapter and I think writing actually improve. Well im off to fix my 1st chapter and work on the forth I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. The Nephilim or the Fallen is a humanoid race that appear out of nowhere four years ago. Everything surrounding these creature is a mystery but there two things that they made painfully clear. One they''re extremely hostile to humans, and two they''re physically superior to humans. They can easily tear a car into pieces, And there thick amour like skin made conventional weapon ineffective. Once they set there sight on human the result was obvious completely outmatch the Fallen processed to massacre humankind. Naturally humankind has adapted to the Fallen and was able to create weapons that can put the creatures down. But even these new weapon didnt''t slow these creature down nothing could stop them. That is until a brilliant scientist Doctor Edward Thomas came up with a soulution, The only way to put a monster down is to create are own... Chapter 3 Force Evolution Waking up in a foreign room put Alisa on guard until she remember everything that happen yesterday. Checking the digital clock on the left of her bed. 5:20 a.m Alisa let out a small groan, waking up 4 a.m every morning her body naturally get early by itslef. Of course by now she would doing some type excirse with her sergeant. Having no idea what do with herself she laid on her blankly looking at the ceiling. "I guess I go to mess hall" getting out of the bed she headed for the bathroom, until she notice there some clothes folded on a dresser near the bathroom. On the top of the clothes was message that said ''your new uniform'' The whole outfit was black. Jacket the cargo pants and sleveless shirt was all black. Look more like causal wear than a uniform. After washing up and putting on her new uniform Alisa exmine herself in the mirror, looking back at her was a beautiful red hair and green eyes girl. "Ok im ready" Opening the door to her room a girl with sandy brown hair and thick black was standing at her door, she was a textbook example of a nerd she even had the labcoat to complient her intelligence. Look like she about to knock on the door since her right hand still in the air. "Ah Alisa your up." The girl said as she quickly put her hand down "My name Sarah Rancher and im here to escort you to the lab. "For what?" "For your operation, Thomas didn''t tell you this? Sarah look at Alisa with confuse expression. "No I kinda been drag around ever I got here, actually even before I got here" recalling she was practically thrown on a copter. Sarah started "Yea he tends to skip over details when he gets excited" Sarah said while trying to control her laugher "Yea I wish he wouldn''t do that" "But its amazing really your the youngest to enter this program." "There other?" The way Thomas was talking he made it seem like she was the only qualify to join. "Yea every country get to choose thier candidate to join. And for someone as young as you to join you must incredible. No i''m just a trainee i''m still trying figure out why i''m here." "Really? Thomas wouldn''t shut up about how special you are... speaking of which were did you meet someone as famous as Thomas? "Yesterday day was my first ever meeting him." "Hm really he seems to know alot about you maybe you met him when you where younger" That doesn''t make sense how does he me? Alisa started racking her brain trying to find the answer. Ah he acquitaed with my mom. A light bulb inside her mind flash. Mom tends to brag to her frineds about me, and she travel all over the world it wouldn''t be strange for her to met someone like him plus they seem to be around the same age, I''ll have to ask her about him sometime. "Were here" Sarah said snapping Alisa out of here mind "Go ahead you first" motioning Alisa to open the double doors ahead of them. Entering the room 5lthe room the first thing she notice was the cot in the middle of the room it was hook to a bunch of machine and moniters and had huge overlight hanging overhead of it. This would look like an operating room if rest of the wasn''t empty,beside the cot and monitors in the middle there was nothing else in here not even windows. The room gave Alisa a creepy vibe. "Is this the one you were talking about Thomas?" One of labcoats who was fiddling with the monitor said. "Yea this is her, you ready for the operation Alisa?" Thomas walk from the group to Alisa wearing is usual smile" "Cmon Thomas how can she been ready if she doesn''t even know what it is?" Sarah said appearing from behind Alisa. Thomas had a slight panic expression on his face "I didn''t explain anything to you? Im sorry about that Alisa I know you must be very confuse right now. "It ok im just trying figure why im here" Alisa tryying to calm him down "Right...." Thomas puts hand on his chin while trying to find a way to explain everything. "You understand how dangerous the Fallen is right?" "Of course everyone should know how dangerous they are." "Yes they Fallen is a natural threat to humanity and there superior strength makes it impossible to fight them head on, and i''m afraid even with are improve weapon we still don''t stand a chance against them. "Is there anyway to stop them?" "Yes I believe so I''ve been study these creatures for awhile and I created a drug that can bond with human DNA and bring out the untapped potential in humans." "ummm" Alisa got completely lost in middle of his speech. You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. "He created a super serum" Sarah explain to Alisa "What?! Really! Thats amazing so you can create super soldiers like Captain America?" Alisa eyes gleam with excitement. "Yea something like that but it not that simple" Thomas facial expression turn serious which made Alisa focus on him. "Unfortunately by itself the body would see the serum as a virus and destroy it before it can even fuse with the DNA. So i had create another drug one that would attack the cells in the human body,while my serum bond with the cells its a process I like to call force evolution, It isn''t pretty but you understand why i''m telling you this right? Once I inject you with the venom there not a rhing in the world that can save you beside the serum, and even if the operation was successful there a chance you might develop cancer.This is your last chance do you still want to go through with this?" The room went quiet from the tensio . "Um there were other people who went before me right?" Alisa ask nervously. "Yes quite a few people and so far there has been no fatality but there always a chance. Alisa let out a sigh gathering her resolve. "Fine I''ll do it. "Are you sure?" Sarah look at Alisa with worried expression. " "Yea i''m sure" The fact that no doe from this calm me down no even if it someone did die I would still agree. This is my chance, everyday the Fallen threat get closer to my hometown I can''t afford to waver. "Alright than take your jacket off and laid down" Thomas tells Alisa. Laying down on the cot two of the scientist brings two different color liquid and a clear bag towards the cot. One was muddy green while the other was a crystal clear liquid. Sarah went around and strapping Alisa arms and lefs to the bed. Than looks at Alisa again with a worried look. "Are you sure about this? This is your last chance.'' "Yea im postive" Alisa gives Sarah a reassuring smile. Thomas hands Sarah a syringe full of green liquid. "Ok no turning back now." Sarah injects the drug into Alisa left arm,after injecting it everyone back away and slienty obverse. The natural pain that comes from being stab by a syringe didn''t fade away in fact it seem to increase, it slowly spread up her left arm the pain increasing every second. "It hurts a little"Alisa said letting out a nervous laugh. "Your doing good it''ll be over soon" Sarah trying to reassure Alisa. Soon thd pain spread across her body still instensify by every second. Trying to get more comfortable she move her body but she was tightly strapped to the cot. "Um can you loosen these" tears started to form in her eyes "Im sorry but we tied you down for your safety, just hang in there." Thomas trying to encourage Alisa. "Hang in there? How can I do that? It feel like my body is being torn apart! Desperate to lessen the pain Alisa started to wrestle against her bondage to no avail "It time.. give her the the serum" Thomas ordered one of the scientist. Grabbin the syringe with clear liquid in it try to inject it into her right arm.But Alisa constant movement made it hard. Having to forcefully hold her right arm down the scientist inject it into her arm. "Still struggling Alisa started to cry in pain" "How she doing?" Sarah ask one of the scientist watching the monitor. "Not good her vitals is steadily dropping." "She''ll make it." Thomas reassuring everyone. At this point Alisa couldn''t hear anyone anymore. The pain itselr transform into noise that started to blaring into her brain. I''m going to die, was the only cohert thought she could form. I should just become an actresses. Her life started to before her eyes. Her friends always joke around in told she could be a actress. Her natural dark red hair and emerald green eyes she was obviously the most popular kid in school, it probably wouldn''t been that hard for her to become one or at least a model. Her mother mother would probably been more happy is she chose that. But that not what see wanted, ever since she was a kid Alisa wanted to be like her mother and help people, she even got a black belt in karate to improve herself. But it seem her navine dream would cost her life I''m sorry mom i should of listen to you. (The operation was a success) was the last thing she heard before blacking out. Waking up the first thing that greeted her was the bright overlights,that force her to close her eyes again. Until they adjusted. "Welcome back" Thomas greetef Alisa with his usual smile. "I''m alive I thought I died" Alisa slowly rasie her body from the cot her restraint no longer on her. "Well you were close so how feel" Sarah pop up from behind Thomas ask. "I feel pretty good.. actually real good." Her body way lighter than usual almost like she can float away at any moment. "Good you fully recover we were monitoring your body while you were unconscious and we found some new cells in your body." "Is it cancer cells?" Alisa look at Thomas with a pale expression. "No there always a side effect that comes with the operation it varies from people since everybody has different dna. Your body seem to hav develop some type of electrigrnic cells that shouldn''t even be possible for himans to create. "Ummm" "What he trying to say is your can generate electricity like an eel" Sarah explains to Alisa "Wait what?" Name: Alisa Fawn Age: 19 Country: United States Martial Arts: Karate Ability: Electrokinesis Title: None New Arrival I just want to go ahead and apologize for taking forever with this chapter. You see while I was writing this chapter I came down with two illness called writer block and laziness but I overcame it (barley) I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. Chapter 4 New Arrival "This... is just... incredible." Electricity was coming out of her right arm and it travel down to her fingertips. Focusing on her left arm electricity appear and travel down to her fingers. She was in complete control of the electricity in her body it was second nature to her like she been doing it her whole life. "Amazing isn''t it? This is your power." Finally looking up from hands to Thomas who was giving her a gentle smile. "I just don''t believe that this real." Her eyes slowing fell back to her hands to confirm that electricity was coming from it. "Well believe it, the serum was created to increase human capability the lighting power is just an unforseen bonus. "The others that under went this surgery do they have powers like me?" "Yea everyone has there own unique ability but none as flashy as yours. In fact why don''t we go meet them after all your part of their team." "A team of super of heroes" Just imaging herself working with a team of super soldiers made her e "I... don''t think that such a good idea, I may have forgot to tell Johnathon about her." Thomas turn to the two girls with a slight nervous look on his face. "How you forget to tell him she been her for a day you had plenty of time to tell him!" Sarah also had a panic look on her face. "Who Johnathon?" Alisa curious on how a single man name can easily change the atmosphere. "He the captain of the team your suppose to be in he gets the final say who join before they be operated on. And somehow Thomas forgot to tell him about you." Sarah gave Thomas a scowl. "I know, I know" "So what do we do?" "I''ll talk to him he''ll accept her he has no choice but to. *sigh* "You know he going to be piss right?" Sarah put her to her hand. Thomas normal smile return to his face. "He''ll get over it." "If your looking for Johnathon im afraid he at a conference that you should be at Thomas." A girl with a long blonde ponytail came walking into the room. Few things stood out about her, one she had the same black attire on which mean she a modified human just like me, second one she was kinda short the closer she got the more obvious it was, and the third she most definitely strong. Simply watching her she could tell that this girl was a veteran solider. And her cold blue eyes gave off the feeling that she could easily kill someone without flinching. "Katherine? what you doing here?" Thomas completely surprise but her sudden appearance. "I was sent to retrieve you Thomas." Katherine answer in a heavy russian accent. If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. "Who this girl?" Completely amaze by the girl who came in she didn''t realize that Katherine was now standing next to her. Her gaze felt like she was staring through her instead of at her. "She a.. recruit." Thomas answer "I see, anyway the general wants to see you." After losing interest in Alisa she turn her attention back to Thomas. "What could he want from me?" "If you wasn''t busy doing things behind are back you would know why." Katherine answer coldy "The fallen is marching towards a populate town." "Has the town been evacuated?" "No thats what were currently doing and the general would like have your opinion on why Fallen is acting like this." "I see lets not waste anymore time." As the pair started to leave the room Katherine stop and look in Alisa direction. "I think you should come to." All three left the room leaving sarah behind. Just by simply walking Alisa could feel how strong she gotten her body felt light and strong it almost like like could jump through the roof if she wanted. If this keep up I might grow an ego. Noticing a smile growing on her face she quickly try to get rid of it. "I see so you had the operation done on you already."Turning to the left of her Katherine was walking next to her. "You could tell Alisa?" Alisa had a slight blush on her face hoping Katherine didn''t see her idiotic smile. "Of course most people act like you do once they get their power." Crap she did see Alisa face completely turn red. "You must be special If Thomas went behind Johnathon back to operate on you, but regardless he not going to be happy when he finds out about you." "Thomas said he simply forgot to tell him" Even though she said that Alisa wonder how could he forget something that important. "I doubt it, Thomas knew that Johnathon wouldn''t let you join that why he went behind his back. Now he have no choice but to let you join." "I don''t understand why can''t he refuse now?" Katherine look at Alisa with a cold gaze. It felt weird even though Alisa taller than Katherine it look like Katherine was looking down at Alisa. "I need you to use your brain for a little. If Johnathon refuse to let you join what do you think going to happen to you?" "I guess I go back to training camp." "Wrong. Do you really think the government would let someone as powerful as you walk around free? No,You would be a stuck here a prisoner til they decide your fate. Realizing the situation Alisa turn to Thomas who was walking ahead of them. She couldn''t see his face but he most obviously still have that smile on his face knowing what he done. "You understand now?" Katherine look up at Alisa with her usual expressionless. "You have two choices now fight on the frontline and die, or be in prison here and die.
