Chapter 1 - Issue #1 | GREY EYES

Welcome to the first issue of

VILLAIN STORY.

Who is the villain? What is the story?

Well… he's quite uninteresting right now. The story? It hasn't even started yet.

So let's fast forward.

Welcome to the future. Since this is my story, yes, I can do that.

How far into the future? Well that's for you to find out.

The future is grim… dark… grey skies… jets and bombs drown out the chirping of nature & what used to be civilization. These are the end times reader…and they are not looking good.

There is one fair blonde maiden amidst the wreckage trying her best to scan for survivors, she zips around flying with sonic booms following behind her.

She is a sorry sight to see, usually she's quite easy on the eyes, with her unrealistically vibrant glowy hair, freckled but peachy fair skin & shiny metallic supersuit you can see your distorted reflection on.

The world's new #1 superhero, was a hot mess of tears & dilemma. Ultragirl granddaughter of the first ever #1 hero, Cptn. Ultra, who had gone MIA in a battle with her nemesis.

That wasn't why she was in tears however, this was a different more new trauma inflicted upon her already rapidly deteriorating mental state.

She was searching for someone, someone very important to her.

The screams of innocence were flooding her super hearing ears but she couldn't stop trying to find his voice.

Town Square, the screen was cracked & somehow the news was still on. The reporter had an interesting report to make.

"We bring you live with Hero News, todays news brings you the VILLAIN STORY, the culprit, the most dangerous man on the planet who brought the United Hero States to a disastrous collapse. His identity has been identified as none other than-"

Ultragirl smashes in the screen before it can reveal who exactly caused this mess in the first place.

Constantly searching. Eventually she hears a familiar scream.

A spikey hair scruffy blonde boy with flames all around him. He had what looked like 80 lasers pointed at his head. Ultragirl recognized this boy, he was his little brother.

Before she can intervene she realized that he must be close then. She frantically searches, scanning the area in seconds.

She finds his crew members, a tall muscular Shadow Shinobi & a petite cute Blade Assasin all with hundreds of lasers pointed at their vitals.

She must be close she thought.

Then the screen flickered back on, its announcers voice amplified by her superhearing , fueling her frustration for what she's about to hear.

As she clenches her teeth in anger and tries to tune it out, she hears him.

"Got a light?"

"The notorious, the infamous, the most heinous evil conniving supervillain the world has ever seen! With a bounty of $1 Quadrillion! The Grey Prince of Crime! GREY EYES!"

He laughed.

"The one & only baby."

She's finally found him, & he's… in chains. A young adult brown skinned messy shiny black haired boy, muscle fit black T shirt shirt, he's missing his chain, and his weapons are all confiscated but that's him alright. Her nemesis.

HSPD (Hero States Police Dept.) Cops surrounding him with lasers in the thousands?! Maybe hundreds of thousands? Especially on his prized jewels someone must've put a separate bounty on his junk…

She looks in complete shock for she knows what she's about to hear next.

"The search is over folks, this just in the perpetrator has been arrested, and a jury has already decided on the outcome of his arrest…that's right folks the DEATH PENALTY! It will be streamed live for viewers around the globe to watch! Be sure to pay for VIP subscription on HeroTube! "

A public execution being marketed like a sports event by a society led by heroes was the least of her worries, she was trying to figure out what to do now.

That was her nemesis. The man responsible for her beloved grandfather & mentors disappearance, the man responsible for millions of deaths in this chaotic turn of events! The man she was meant to bring in.

With a bounty so high what could he have possibly done?

That wasn't the question on her mind however. You see we still don't see the full picture here.

They kneel him down gun to head as the cameras role.

"Any last words kid?" said one of the cops handling the 7000th laser at his face.

"One last smoke."

"Magic word?"

"Are you serious?! Okay please?"

They light it up, he's about to take one hit but then-

Ultragirl grabs the blunt & tosses it away.

"W-What?! Hey! I'm about to die here! Atleast let me take one last hit!"

"You're not about to die here you idiot! You dunce! You moron! Blockhead! Fool! Mouth breather!"

"Did you ask an A.I. on what insults to say on your way here?"

"UGH! Just SHUT UP! Your coming with me!"

"Sorry princess! We got strict orders!"

"Yeah princess… I'm a dead man walking… can't come on a date right now."

"I wasn't asking."

In a flash all the guns are destroyed, and they take flight leaving behind a sonic boom that thrashes everyone back. The snipers begin firing but it's all smoke, out of the smoke shoots out a burst of yellow light.

Ultragirl holding Grey Eyes in her arms flies him to the sky, reaching closer & closer to the ozone layer.

"Hey princess… I'm gonna die if we go any higher! There's no oxygen up here!"

"I know."

"Okay! I'm sorry! I'm an idiot!"

"And?"

"A dunce! A moron! A blockhead! A fool?!"

"And?"

"I'm not a mouth breather…"

Damion's face goes blue, he begins to choke.

"Okay…I'm…a…mouth…breather…"

She flies him back down, they land on a mountain peak, he's shivering.

She wraps her fluorescent yellow glowing cape around him warming him up.

"I need to go save people, but you stay right here."

"Where even is this place? Is this Mt. Rushmore?!"

4 faces of the #1 heroes are carved into the mountain side, with Ultragirls face still incomplete, missing her nose.

"They uh… missed a spot."

"Worry about that later, how did you get in this mess! Why are your jets bombing everything? What the hell is going on? Why is your bounty more than the GDP of a hundred countries…combined? Why are you totally calm? Why can't you just tell me anything? Why-"

Damion pulls on the cape and she spins towards him twisted within her own cloak, embracing each other & pressing his lips to hers.

"Thank you for saving me, my hero."

"It's heroine. I'm your heroine."

"That's right. You're mine."

Has it clicked yet? Here it comes.

She punches him in the gut.

"Your breath stinks, I better not see you light up again, you know how that makes me feel babe."

"*Cough* *Cough* Missed you too babe."

You're probably confused right now.

Did the worlds greatest superhero & worlds greatest supervillain just make out & make you feel like a 3rd wheel right now?

Yes. This is VILLAIN STORY. It's chaotic. All over the place. Has you on your toes. And you have no idea where it will go next.

But how in this hero driven world did we get here?

Let's start from where it all began.

The origin story, of how our powerless weak little protagonist became the worlds greatest villain, & boyfriend to the worlds greatest hero.

What will the grey prince of crime do next?
