Darkness Reapers
JeffK

Guns don't kill people. People use guns to kill people. Guns just sit there going "He's
the one who pulled my trigger. I didn't have a choice!"

The target walked by him. He pressed against the wall harder, the rough brick biting into his shirtless back. He was hidden in the shadows. It was much to dark in the alley for the target to see him. He could see fine. He liked the dark, it was easier for him to see. His new eyes were very diffrent from his old...

No. He wasn't that anymore. He wasn't Human. He was a Reaper. A Darkness Reaper. The Darkness Reaper, in fact. He was the only one. Probably why his codename - his NAME - he corrected himself, was Darkness. Darkness, that was his name now. He was no longer Marco Dark. Dark. His last name was Dark? An odd coincidence. Or maybe that's just why the 4M3R scientists chose him to be the subject for their experiments.

Formers, he called them. For two reasons. One: The word 4M3R kinda looked like it said former. And two: They were all dead. His target was a 4M3R Merc. His first reaction to this job was surprised. He had never taken out another mercinary before. But his target, while tougher than the average soldier, was just a normal Human being. He was a Reaper of Darkness, THE Reaper of Darkness.

He was doing this mission alone, but Blade, a Pain Reaper, was ready in case he messed this up. But he wouldn't. This merc was one of the scientists that experimented on him. He was his 'Mind-Bender'. All Reapers had one. The Mind-Bender's job was to torture and fight a mental war with the Reapers, which was why most of them were insane. They were all different from what they used to be, physically and mentally. The most wimpy Reaper can, thanks to the Mind-Bender, withstand the sight of blood, guts, horror, torture, and things that would make a grown man cry.

Which was why Darkness was going to enjoy killing this man.

He waited until the target was out of earshot. "Darkness to Mastermind, this is Reaper, I have him." he said into his... well, he didn't have any sort of communication device. One would come to the conclusion that, as a Reaper, he was completely insane. But, upon further inspection, one would realise that a wireless microphone was actually implanted into his cheek. It was just a small bump, barely noticable unless you were actually looking for it.

He pulled down his Heads-Up-Display-Visor, so that he could see Mastermind's reply. Mastermind was unique, like Darkness. He was the only Intelligence Reaper. As the only Intel Reaper, his natural talent was running Reapers For Hire, their Private Military Company. He communicated through a hard-to-interpret message displayed on the HUDV. Anyone could easily read it, but Reapers, having enhanced intelligence and reflexes, could easily read and understand the message before a Human would even notice it was there.

Funny. Mastermind didn't rank as Human, even though he was Human in every way except for his superintelligence. "d4RK322, Y0U N33D 2 B3 C4R3FUL. y0UR LuSt 4 R3V3NG3 M4Y C4US3 Y0U T0 SCR3W TH1S Up." 'Darkness, you need to be careful. Your lust for revenge may cause you to screw this up.' "Don't worry about it, Mastermind. I've got this. Tell Blade he can go take a nap. That seems to be what he's best at, anyway." Replied Darkness.

Blade and Darkness were not on speaking terms.

He pushed his HUDV up away from his eyes. He trusted his eyes more than a HUDV. Those things turned the dark into light. Darkness didn't like the light. The target was farther away now. Darkness ran as fast as he could without making noise to catch up to him. The Target was walking slowly down the street. The C4N military had hired RFH for this mission. They had appearantly tried many times to assassinate this man, but they had all failed. Darkness was happy to take down the man who had tortured him for... how long was their 'Metamorphisis'? It had seemed like a thousand eterneties to Darkness, and all the other Reapers.

Some suffered emotionally more than others from their Metamorphisis. Danica, the only Reaper who still considered herself Human, and still went by her Human name, had attempted suicide several times. She had succeeded. Every time. She was a Death Reaper, so she couldn't die. Unless her brain was detached or destroyed. Fortunately, she didn't know that.

With Reapers like Danica, near impossible to kill, it would seem that they could just have Death Reapers do every mission, lessen the chance of death, right? No. Danica absolutely refused to do missions. And the only other Death Reaper was Death, who was completely insane. Also, he couldn't do assassination missions, becuase of his addiction to big loud guns, and the fact that he couldn't go five seconds without making some sort of annoying noise.

Darkness came up right behind the target, the man who had caused him so much pain, suffering, and the constant nightmares that made him afraid to sleep at night.

He will make this slow and painful.
Yeah. Inspired by Army Of Two, Skyland... and probably a few various other things.
Anyway, this story reveals a few interesting secrets about the New Lands. Is there a war going on between C4N (Future Canada) and 4M3R (Future America)? Is there going to be?
What exactly ARE Reapers? Why were they created? What sick mind would... well, they ARE 4M3R scientists. (Yeah, futuristic stereotypes ftw!)
