- Setting: Germany, 2009. Hitler has full control over the world.
__________________________________________________ ___
To be told what to do, no, to have the orders pushed down your mouth and make you swallow every word makes you wonder how nice life would be without all of this. The leader of the world, the king, the immortal Fuhrer Hitler, did exactly this. He was immortal, yet, he hid away in a vast new empire only to come out to demand his followers, and even the ones that revolted to embrace their new lives because he was going to live forever and always be the ruler...
Even though it is man's ability to remember that sets us apart. We are the only species concerned with past. Our memories give us voice and bear witness to history, so that others might learn; so they might celebrate our triumphs and be warned of our failures. We had a big failure on our hands, and even though people wanted to stop him, how could they? He was a god in all aspects of life and by definition, he was the saviour of all men.
The map has changed. After the war, Germany had expanded it's borders to take over most of western Europe. Ireland, Scotland and even England were burned to the ground. Italy, Russia, and China were now under German rule and had their major cities burned to the ground to show that the new empire took control over the world. The eastern world had now been conquered, and slowly the Germans sent their forces to the west. Canada and America had their government buildings burned. The Whitehouse was bombed from the inside out to show that the constitution no longer protected their freedom.
Several military and new government buildings were set up along the coasts of what used to be great cities in North America. Ottawa, Toronto, Miami, New York City and Boston were now used as strongholds on the east coast of the new empire.

A man stepped out of his invisibility, and lightly gripped two guards outside of a building and tossed them into the wall, breaking their necks on impact. The alarm had started to go off, they had recently installed vital sensors in all of their guards now. I've always missed a good fight, it's been awhile, raced through the mans head as he started to toss guards across various rooms as he moved through the building. He was on a hunt and nothing would stop him, not even the immortal Fuhrer himself if he showed up. He was able to make it down to the basement, and rip the security door from it's hinges.
He walked slowly and came across a vault. He gripped the vault with his mind, imagining his hands were wrapped around the handle. He started to focus on it hard, and it started to move. He tugged on it more with his mind, focusing even harder as it started to break apart from the seal that held it in place. The door then broke off the hinge and opened slightly. He walked up to it and examined his work, laughing. He felt something rip into him, bullets, but they were large for just pistol bullets but then he felt more rip into him. He slid around as his body was being torn apart. It was a heavy machine gun ripping into him. He sighed, moving the gun out of the guys hands. He gripped the guy slowly with his mind, as his wounds started to heal. He threw him into the vault door, killing him instantly.
He walked in to the vault, looking around. He found nothing. He was searching for documents detailing different things about the Fuhrer. He was more importantly looking for locations and schematics of buildings that he could target. He decided this was useless. He left the building with a dozen or more dead bodies scattering the ground. He walked back to the headquarters where Alpha was with new people, especially the one in the chair. "Who's he..? He sighed and looked around for a drink.
The rain came down hard, showing no mercy on the weak. It inspired the German forces, for the reason that it came down hard on anyone who wanted to get in the way of it and it never showed fatigue or emotion. The German forces were everything to the last period. They were inspired by the forces of nature, never slowing down or speeding up - always at a constant state. Funny how one man broke into a top military document control building and proceeded to kill if not all, most of the guards.
Back in Berlin, in a secret underground base, Hitler, was sitting at a table with his top people enjoying a nice laugh over what Hitler has done, or well, plans to do with the world. It was almost a laugh that was pushed over, for the simple fact that many of the top people disliked Hitler. In the history books before they were burned, they read on how life was in a democracy and in a global community that was forming to grow together. In this world, the one that has been laid out before them, the life of democracy was gone and the future only showed authoritarianism and that life was going downhill until the end of days.

Back at the rebel hangout, the man sighed and telekineticly pulled a drink to his hand, sipping it slowly waiting for a reply to his question that hung in the air, almost forever it had seemed. "I'm Ralph, I was one of the men fighting for the allies in WW2 - I'm a Time/Space manipulator, so they say." He finished his drink just in time to spit it out, "Wait, you manipulate time - Funny, we need someone like you to help us." He smiled with the comment, and shook his hand, duplicating his ability in the process of it - unnoticed to Ralph. Just then, German forces broke down the doors and started shooting everyone in the process of them trying to run. Ralph had stopped time, and the man had been unaffected by this and saw everything slow down. Ralph turned and looked, "How..?" as the man smiled, "I duplicate abilities through touch." He smiled as Ralph walked off with the man. They walked out of the building and then teleported together out of there, only to end up in Miami, Florida. The missile defence center of the western world.
In other parts of the world, more and more people were experiencing abilities and now revolt to the German forces. Yet, in the papers they showed pictures of the men with the powers dying and the bodies stacked up in factories, ready to be burned. The battle for the Year of our Lord has just begun.
OOC: If no one wants to join this, that's cool. I'll do a new post of it every few days incase people want to read it.
Pain and hurt were company to James his friends called him MJ but now there were none to call him by that. Hilter had been around since before the Brits birth, but had been present all through the 20 years. His parents had pretended to conform to his rule, secretly training their son in hand to hand. His father a former soldier who hid his identity to stay alive taught James things that were only practised as the norm in ancient times. The man now was a mass of muscles that were as strong as iron and reflexes honed to the battlefield.
When his parents were found out they gave him instructions on to help fight it and even if James did not live to see it his actions could bring Hitler down and his empire with him.
James was a master of his ability, to bend energy to form barriers, pulses even render himself invisible to bulletproof he was a deadly man, Even without he could slice a man clean through the middle with his fathers broadsword without so much as straining his thickened muscles.
Three soldiers spoke to one another at the Missle Defence centre in Miami. James walked up close to them, unsheathing his broadsword he stopped to listen as they joked about how they would crush the resistance and one mentioned how he killed a young boy who said he'd die soon enough. With that his blade came crashing down diagonally ripping one man in two from his right shoulder to his left ribs. With the crunching and shocking splash of blood the other two panic. Focusing a pulse at one of the two the soldier was sent head first into the wall of the guard hut leaving a river of blood to flow down as only his legs were seen hanging from the outside. Sheathing his blade James turned off the invisible field around him and walked to the remaining trembling man. The man tried a futile swing at the giant which with his left hand James caught his wrist and like a vice snapped his wrists. Before his could scream his right hand grasp his throat and effortlessly lifted the well build soldier and smiled at the ease his muscles performed the task. A steel like voice left his lips as his blue eyes focused on him.
" You should have listened to the boy." Without a breath of hesitation his right hand clamped like a vice crushing the inside tissue and with a swift flick forward a heavy snap escaped the mans body. A meaty thud followed as he was released to the afterlife, like death the giant walked towards the centre sending another pulse to rips away the security fence and walked down the path again becoming invisible.

The man introduced himself, looking to Ralph as they teleported. "If we're going to work together, then we'll have to know our names and since I know yours, mine is.. Eddie." They walked to the gate of the center where the Nazi flagged was painted on the doors, with two armed guards. Ralph went to stop time as Eddie gripped his shoulder, and shook his head no. He walked to them as his invisibility took affect and gripped them both with telekinesis, snapping their necks in an instant. Ralph walked slowly, trying to mind the fact that he's standing at a Nazi missile base in the future, when he should be in the past. He walked up to the door as Eddie started to pull on it and it slid forward, opening up to the two of them. Eddie hidden still, was able to move quietly inside and not be noticed with Ralph slowly behind him.
Ralph tripped and fell infront of the gates, as guards started to do their patrol. They picked him up, and looked over him noticing he had allied clothes over his body. They pushed him against the wall as Eddie finally turned to see it. It was too late. One of the men took a knife and rammed it through Ralph's chest, hitting his heart - killing him instantly. Eddie saw Ralph slump down and his lifeless body lay there still, with blood pooling around it. Eddie ran to them, turning off the invisibility and hit them both hard, sending them back. Eddie gripped their heads and slammed them together, crushing the respective sides of their skulls. He tossed their bodies against the walls and walked to the front of the main building. Pulling the door open, he was greeted by men running in the opposite direction screaming that a intruder was present. It wasn't him, so it must of been someone else. He went invisible and ran with them, only to see a man with a broad sword slicing down the troopers one by one.
Eddie ran over, and telekineticly moved them aside, or well, throwing them aside from the man turned off his invisibility and looked over to him. "Need some help?" He cracked his neck slowly and looked around.
After butchering the men at the gate James heard the alarms go off, men ran towards him not being able to see him due to him being invisible but they would feel his blade soon enough, letting his flesh become visible he took stance waiting for the fight, but suddenly they flew away. Not sure whether friend or foe had performed this task his answer came as a man materialised from a true form of Invisibility. When the man asked if he needed help he jumped to the conclusion he was part of the Resistance. James had been part of a faction that operated here, being codenamed as The Mouse as a joke he had gained a rep as a one man death squad. He grew to love the nickname and his rep had made a mention to the soldiers he slaughtered though no care was given to whether the Fuhrer knew of him, if he did he hoped it made him sweat.
James had lost his a month before and with it the link to the other teams, until now he assumed he was alone rather than waste time searching for allies he made them from people he saved. Linking eyes with the new man infront of him he spoke.
"I have no main reason to be here except to cripple this place as my team intended, if your mission is the same I will accept your help. Otherwise stay out of my way while I tear this place and the people here apart." He said bluntly.
Turning to the two men that were thrown he noticed they attempted to escape. Swiping down with his sword the first fell with no effort but the second was already trying to open the door, to much in panic to actually succeed as James blade flew like a javelin, cutting through his back obliterating his heart and pinning the twitching corpse to the thick wooden door.
"Where is your team?" Speaking as he walked to the dead man to get his broadsword back. Though young in years the man had no time to waste on nicities. He here on a promise to destroy this place and he never breaks a promise.

The men ran at Eddie as he walked away, shooting their guns into his body. The bullets tore apart his flesh as he walked forward still, never speeding up or slowing down - just walking normally. He gripped them with his mind and threw them at the building and laughed as they smashed into the building, their bones obviously crushed to pieces from the dramatic impact. He looked back, and smirked, "I had people that I worked with, till the base was raided and they were killed. Only reason I'm alive is because of a brave man," he finished as a fist connected to his jaw. He gripped the guys arms, and pushed him through the ground, stepping on his skull. The skull broke under the pressure and the brains oozed out to the sides. It was a gross thing to look at, so Eddie decided to move soon.
He walked to the main doors, and swung them open to find 20 or so Nazi soldiers posted inside with rifles, machine guns and the odd one carrying a .50 sniper rifle. He gripped the machine guns turned it around on them, pointing it at their heads one by one. He turned around as he held the guns in the air to speak to the man slicing down the people with his sword, "what's your purpose for destroying the Nazis?" As he finished that sentence, the guns went off - killing them.
The strangers skill was impressive, though his reliance to his gift could prove fatal if they met another who could negate his power. The bullets ripped through the soldiers heads and James just watched as his blade released itself from the body and door. Cleaning the steel James entered the corridor stepping through the blood, this man had was not a clean fighter, he could put sympathy to the cleaners but they wont have a corridor to clean once he was through with it.
Remembering the man was speaking he heard the words and formed his response.
"I'm sorry lets complete this task for the honor of our fallen friends."
"My twin was taken by German forces when we were kids, I tried to make a forcefield to protect us but back then I couldnt stop what they sent at me. He had what you people call Astrakinesis. Bring astral forms of himself and communicate with others out of their body. The day they came he was holding a stone and suddenly he started talking about men coming. Sure enough they did 10 minutes later. I now know he started developing precognition now, One can only assume that the German Empire had a use for him, God knows what it was though..." Suddenly cut off more soldiers opened fire without warning and James created a forcefield around both him and his new ally.
"Where was I, oh yes 2 years ago after my parents were found out I left what was once England and headed to here, reports from the men I interrogated said my brother was here. He is, buried 6 feet under under a large Elder tree overlooking the ocean. He had escaped and joined the team I joined after, but he died apparently the man who killed him had unbelievable strength. I found Hitler had taken a personal interest in killing Mitch as his potential could damage his plan to keep hold of the world." Saying his brothers name for the first time in 2 years he remembered the soldiers and sent a pulse which hit each like a truck smashing them into the concrete wall behind killing them all.
"The man has allowed my parents to die, snapped my brothers neck and massacred my team. Two events I have found he did with his own hands, he does not know who I am if he knows at all but he will soon and no matter how many times he reforms I'll hack him down until old age takes me." Walking down the corridor James heads down to the control area, if he could break into their archives he would be able to work out where Hitler was and what operations could be taken down to cripple him. The more pain caused to the monster the better, restoring the honour of his bloodline was all that mattered to him now. Gripping his trusted sword he slashed down at the man infront, splitting his head in two but the blade didnt stop and cleanly and made its way right down the man leaving him to drop in two thuds as James walked without breaking a stride.

Eddie turned and looked at the man. Obviously he was a killing machine, someone of grave importance to Eddie. His power, was, well, to say the least quite amazing. He hadn't got the chance to shake his hand yet, but he figured he should at least tell the man what he was able to do - or well, the things he was capable of doing in certain circumstances. He looked over to the computers, listed from A to Z, with the screens on different sides of the room with the table at the front of it, with a big 60" x 40" screen on the wall over looking the table. This was obviously where they planned the attacks out, or carried out space missions for satelites and other things. He sat down at one of the smaller computers which had a map on it of different bases all along the east coast of once used to be called North America. He didn't know much about the German language, especially on a keyboard but he decided to try it out. He hit a button and it came up on the big screen and then printed off in a hard copy which had co-ordinates.
He looked over to the guy still slashing across the soldiers that stood in his way. "If you really want to destroy this place, we'll have to find a underground stairway to get to the missiles." He smiled, and looked over to the computers once again, figuring he had all of the information he needed. He gripped the computers with his mind, and brought them down on top of each other, causing a small fire. "Let's go."
James agreed with him about needing to find the missiles, they would cause severe damage painful to Hitler. Following him down the hall as the flames engulf the room James has a sudden thought. With a list he got from archives he mentioned to his partner.
"You seem to be good with a computer I have a list of areas of key control to Hitler, one being a radar system, a special ops training facility and a weapons factory." The idea was a fair one and after they could set the remainer to blow the complex.
Cleaving men from left to right James did this with ease while the others fell from their onslaught. Finding the door James saw it was a heavy steel door, though he couldnt rip it off its hinges with his bare hands he could send a pulse to tear it to shreds. Which he did causing the steel to creak and groan as the pulse bend and ripped it apart.
Walking down the stairs he raised his shield as bullets screamed through the air and made ripples on the bubble. Not taking any notice he called over to his ally and asked whether his plan was a good one. A woman was left from the attack cuffed and forced at a computer in the control room James walked to her and turned and asked.
"Can you read minds? See if she is a good guy, if so we can rescue her."

He walked down, laughing a bit. He walked over to the girl and sighed looking back up to the new friend of his, "I can't but there's other ways to get information from someone." He pointed his finger at the girl, and instantly cuts appeared over her body, cutting deep in the flesh leaving wounds that would kill her from the amount of bleeding that she would sustain in a short amount of time. He looked over to the man and then looked back to the girl. "There's only so many powers I have, and I'm still trying to obtain more. It's hard."
He stood up and decided to let the man try and get information from her, even if she was a good guy, it would be hard to trust her. "If she turns out to be a good guy, I'll heal her and she'll be cut loose to leave and if not, then well, tough luck." He turned and waited for him to get the information.
