Bloodrayne vs Prototype part 2: Alex Mercer

Part 2: Alex Mercer:

    New Jersey:

   A man and woman are walking down a dark alley, laughing and otherwise acting in a typical romantic manner. The truth is she is a prostitute and he is her "John", and she is drunk. They go into an old apartment building, taking the elevator into the basement. There the laughter ends, in the basement is a massive black spike covered mass with glowing red veins.

   "What the hell is that?" asks the woman through her drunken haze.

   "Its feeding time," says the man as his arms turn into black claws and shoves her towards the mass.

  Tendrils shoot out, engulfing the *screaming* girl. A thick tendril then extends out, the end of it taking the form of Alex Mercer's head (hood and all),

  "Just a little bit more," says Alex Mercer, "and I'll be back, and I'll rip that bastard James Heller apart and everyone he cares about."

   "About that sir," says the Evolved foot soldier, "Our men believe he is going to head to Chicago, there has been an outbreak there, Black Watch was on the news heading there as well."

   "Strange," says Mercer, "What is going on there? Tell me everything."

  "Sir," says the footsoldier, "A few week ago several factories started spewing out a red mist, it has blanketed the city like...like a force field to be perfectly honest sir, everything inside has been mutating, and the survivors have been fleeing underground."

   "Weeks?" hisses Mercer, "and I'm only hearing about this now?"

  "Sorry sir," says the footsoldier, "Seems someone else, other than Blackwatch was keeping a tight lid on the situation, a couple someones it seems...who don't seem to like each other very much."

   "Tell me everything," commands Mercer.

   "Sir," says the footsoldier, "whoever was behind this organized it tightly, seems their first act was to target all the major officials, politicians, business men, and even mob bosses in the city. A party run by one Zerenski was targeted, everyone was killed, including the staff. Seems all the homeless were also rounded up and vanished off the streets. At first it was coming across as riots, nothing that would concern you sir, but then out of no-where this cloud and the mutations. Our...your men still inside Blackwatch have reported in, they don't know what the cloud is made of, or why it formed a dome around the city, but the mutations inside are unlike anything we've seen."

   "I see," says Mercer, "guess I'll have to pay Chicago a visit...you say this cloud-dome has been active for weeks?"

   "y...yes sir,"

  Tendrils shoot forth impaling the footsoldier drawing him in, his screams are short lived, and followed shortly after by the cocoon like mass exploding and Alex Mercer stepping out.

  "Lying little shit," says Mercer, "Your memories tell me everything...hmm...possible natural progenitor to the Mercer virus? Hoping to become something stronger than me? What the hell is this? Bits of chatter from higher ups about a war and each side developing the better super-soldiers? War with who? Who the fuck else is involved in this research? Well better be on my way and find out for myself."
