[b]Physical Scan:[/b]

Being a Zan, Eli's physique is that of Super Human. He stands at 7'0 ft tall exactly, and his entire body is composed of lean toned muscle. However, due to him being a Zeln-Wielder Zan, his seemingly incredible physical stats are much less than that of a Normal Zan, and much more deficient compared to a Zeln-Monger, which sacrifices all Zeln projection for sheer muscle mass. His skin is also slightly paler than other Zan, due to the fact that he is constantly wearing a helmet.

His face, unlike his brother Neo, is very unscathed and refined looking. His face is slightly more angled looking, and his brother constantly refers his features as being pretty-boyish. His head is covered with a mop of slightly spiky white hair, which partially covers his face on the right side when his helmet is off. The hair is also somewhat long and goes to his upper back, which sticks out of the back of his helmet when it is equipped. His eyes glow rather brightly, due to his body literally surging with Zeln energy, which shine a brilliant jade. His skin also has a slight luminous glow to it, but more subtle than his eyes. However, Eli and Neo do share the same bushy eyebrows.

[b]Outfitting:[/b]


[*] [u]Casual Attire[/u]

Similar to Neo, Eli wears clothing that seems odd for Earth but normal for the Zan. He wears a black, form fitting, short sleeved, shirt that holds a white stripe underneath the arms that grows in width the closer it gets to his waistline as well as white stripes at the end of the short sleeves. The shirt also has black leather pads over his biceps and shoulders. He wears snug black pants that have a matching stripe on the sides of his legs with black leather pads at his knees. He wears a pair of white with black trimmed shin high boots with matching gloves. Eli is rarely seen in this attire, only around people whom he trusts, otherwise, he is constantly wearing his Hydra Armor.


[*] [u]Hydra Armor[/u]

An ingeniously innovative armor, The Hydra armor is an advanced piece of technology that is suited for covert and special-ops missions. Sleek and extremely lightweight, the Hydra Armor allows for maximum mobility in an encounter. The first layer of the suit is an all black, skin-tight, under-suit that is weaved with nano-technology that helps stimulate the wearers' muscles to increase their motions. On top of the nano-suit, are various pieces of  smooth, very lightweight rounded white armor that covers; the shoulders, the chest (Which has a Hydra Emblem on it) , upper back, pelvic area, forearms, hands, calves, lower legs, and feet. The armor is composed of a strong, yet flexible poly-carbon material which provide protection, and mobility at the same time.

The helmet is rather unique. The lower part of the helmet covers the jaw and lower back back of his head, and the upper part covers the scalp and upper back of the head. Covering his ears are these bulky looking devices that serve as the power regulators of the suit, which has holes in it that shine a bright red. Covering the face, a tough, but rather thin visor connects in between the two parts of the helmet. On the inside of the visor, a HUD displays various sorts of information to the wearer, such as Shield Status, Vital Signs, Current Power Level, Enemy's Power level, Motion Sensor, Radio, etc. The visor can also switch into different modes to display different views, such as Thermal Vision and Night Vision.

The Suit itself is fitted with an internal Zan Shield Generator, which provides protection against various types of damage. Embedded into the suit as well is a Stealth Field Generator which releases a jamming signal, decreases his movement sound, and masks his power level to a certain extent. However, whenever his cloaking field is activated, all shields are sacrifices in order to power the suit, and it will take some time for it to recharge, leaving him completely vulnerable and unprotected if someone where to find him. This is mainly used for a method of escape or launching a sneak attack. It is used quite sparingly.

However, every bit of the Hydra Armor is powered by the wearers Zeln, which the suit absorbs to power it. So in essence, the potency and effectiveness of his Shields and Cloaking depend on the user's power level compared others.

If someone of equal or slightly less or more Power were to attack his shields, they would dissipate after only one strike. That also means though that someone who is significantly weaker than him will have to strike him 2 Times to get his shields down, and someone who is far more powerful will not only take down his shields, but damage his armor and himself severely. However, certain energy attacks that have a chained type of attack, i.e The Kamehameha wave, have the ability to break the shields, and harm the wearer. This shield type is significantly weaker than standard Zan Shields, but the device is more portable and less bulky than the latter.

In the case of the Stealth Generator, it's potency is also effected by the user's Power Level. If someone of equal or slightly more or less Power Level were trying to find the user while he/she was cloaked, they would have moderate difficulty to try and find them. If someone of significantly less Power Level were put at the odds of trying to find the cloaked person, they would be put at  a great difficulty to locate the cloaked individual. However, if a person of significantly greater Power Level were trying to find the cloaked Person, the effort would be rather minimal, as the Wearer's Power would be a weaker force than the opponents. The amount of energy it requires to use is substantial, and lasts only for a few moments. But Zeln Wielders (Zeln-Mastery) have a bit more room to work with than other Zan, but not by much.

The Hydra Unit's armor has been suited for quick kills and hit and run techniques, which the cloaking and reduced shields are suited for. However, the strong amount of Zeln that the suit requires can be draining, and it is almost more suited for Zeln-Wielders to use more than anyone else.

[b]Weapons:[/b]

Each part of Eli's arsenal is linked to his Hydra Armor, so the power and speed of his Weapons are determined by his current Power Level.


[*] [u]S.W.A.T Carbine[/u]


The S.W.A.T (Superior Weaponized Assassination Tool) Carbine, is an extremely powerful Sniper Rifle that is easily the most powerful weapon in Eli's Arsenal, which attaches to his back. However, it has a huge amount of limitations and drawbacks. First of all, the sound released from the barrel is incredibly loud, which would give away his position instantly, and shatter glass. The Sniper needs to be assembled in calibrated before it can be fired, which can easily take a post or two to set up, depending on the situation. The laser reticule is also quite large, and it will become plainly obvious that Eli is aiming for them if the reticule is in their sight. In addition, the lens for the carbine gives off a rather large and noticeable glare. In order to fire the gun, it takes a very large amount, if not most of his power to get it to fire, significantly draining Eli after a shot is taken. He cannot be cloaked when he uses it either, as it consumes the majority of his energy. In order to even use the gun, it requires his Ultimate Attack slot to be taken with the training to use and handle the gun.

Yet, after all those limitations, the result can be worth it. Being  used for Assassination purposes, the gun can be used on a wide variety of opponents. The S.W.A.T Carbine is not a casual weapon, and is only used as a last resort, or if he wishes to end a situation quickly.


[*] [u]Dual D.I.C.E Blades[/u]


The D.I.C.E (Deadly Internal Concealed Edge) Blades are two energy daggers that are hidden in the wrist area of Eli's armor. The daggers depend on the user's Zeln color, which in this case would be Jade for Eli. These weapons are ideal for Assassinations and are quite convenient. However, when activated, there needs to be a few seconds for the beam emitter to warm up before the blades can be activated, same with turning the blades off.  When it activates, it makes a rather loud buzz sound as the blades are energizing the air particles around them in order to maintain a constant beam. This sudden release of energy will discharge Eli's cloaking if it is activated as well. The blades can alternate as defensive weapons.


[*][u]Spec Ops R.I.O.T Pistol[/u]


The Spec Ops R.I.O.T (Rapid Impact Omni Type) Pistol is a specially modified version of the standard R.I.O.T pistol, which is a pistol that can switch between various types of ammunition without having to use a different weapon. This version, modded by Eli himself, sports a scope for aiming, a small laser sight, a silencer, and different ammo types. However, due to the amount of added tech, Eli can only fire one round per post. It also requires a post in order to change ammo types. However, Eli may fire and then change ammo types in the same post. The different types of ammo are listed below.
[i]
[b]Flash-bang Rounds:[/b][/i]

Special bullets that explode on impact, releasing a blinding flash and a deafening bang.

[i][b] Piercing Rounds:[/b][/i]

These bullets are spirally grooved and pointed, which allow for the bullets to drill into their target. Can only penetrate the thinner areas of armor.

[i][b]Toxic Rounds:[/b][/i]

These poisonous bullets are shaped like a tranquilizer dart, and inject poison into their victim. The poison is slow acting, and will slowly degenerate the targets motor skills, and induce nausea for a short time before the poison run it's course through their system.

[i][b]Ionic Rounds:[/b][/i]

These bullets bore into technology and begin to disrupt their functions via ionic pulses. Has the ability to disable tech for the fight and electrocute the victim if the bullets are left inside.

[u][b]S.N.A.R.E Cable:[/b][/u]

The S.N.A.R.E ( Strategic Navigational And Retaliation Electro) Cable is a device that attaches to his right arm underneath one of his D.I.C.E Blade emitters. The device shoots out a thin, yet extremely resilient grappling cable that can be shot out to a maximum of 50 Meters. After it has grabbed on to something, Eli can pull himself toward that area in a controlled burst of speed until the cable has been fully retracted back in, allowing him to traverse high areas efficently and quietly if he wishes. The device also can be used as a support weapon in combat. Eli can shoot the cable towards a foe, and the claw can grab onto flesh, cloth or armor for it to safely lock in place. The cable can be easily pulled off with the sufficent force. However Eli is able to send a surge of electricity from his suit to electrocute them. Depending on the situation, Eli can let them go or use the device to boost himself towards them to strike. He may use this device while cloaked, but only when the cable is not electrified.

All Our Dreams and Wishes,

Fighting For What's Right[/SIZE][/color][/font][/align]

[b]Personality:[/b]


Due to his history and Occupation, Eli is cruel and merciless to his foes. Rather than realizing when enough is enough, Eli will take his satisfaction to kill as over the edge and end their lives. He will not harm innocents personally, but feel no remorse if they were collateral casualties and beyond his control. Surrender is never an option for his targets. Unlike his brother, who is warm and friendly, Eli is cold, slightly arrogant and introverted towards others, not speaking unless he finds something of importance to add to the conversation.

However, both Neo and Eli are natural born leaders, but in different ways. While Neo leads with charm and charisma, Eli leads with intimidation and hatred. Eli will brainwash his men to hate, but also fear their enemies, and also fear him in case they ever disobeyed an order. Eli is in charge of his own special unit, The Hydra Unit, which serves as the Eyuunian military's assassination force. He would never kill his own men, but they would be severely punished. However, his ways are necessary for his men, as each one of them has to be cold blooded and resistant to hesitation, which Orgonus Vax Quek had taught him in the past.

Towards Neo, Eli holds a strange admiration/jealousy towards him. He admires him for the fact that he had fought for what he believed in, which caused Eli to join him in the first place, but he is also jealous of how Neo was given the Higher ranking, despite being only one rank below, and how people can seem to understand Neo's methods as right, but not his own. Regardless of his rivalry, he still supplies Neo with state of the art technology and has a concealed, but strong brotherly bond towards his brother, even if it seems like he shows nothing but hatred toward him in certain moments. This is what drives him to aid Neo, even though he may not agree with everything that he does.

However, Eli suffers from chronic depression that is composed of a mixed feeling of innate guilt, anger, sadness, and regret over murdering his best friend (Read History). He will  conceal his sadness with his hardened attitude toward his men, but when alone, Eli can have breakdowns in which he barely tries to avoid committing suicide over his past. He takes meds for this problem but that does not always help. The two things that really keep him going are his brother, and working on technology. Even Neo does not know of this tragic weakness, and Eli  is trying to overcome it. Perhaps time can mend the wounds.


[b]Weaknesses:[/b]


[*] [u][b]Weakness to Energy other than Zeln:[/b][/u]


Energies such as Plasma, Ki, Mana, Electricity, or other things cause the Zeln in a Zan's blood to react violently providing not only extreme external damage but high internal damage as well. When a Zan is exposed to this energy the Zeln in their blood activates and hardens into crystal instantly causing crippling pain to the Zan. Their veins bulge out with outlines of crystal growing under their skin. These ill effects fade after a few agonizing moments as the crystals dissolve and return to their original state within the Zan. And Eli, being a Zeln-Master, is more effected by this weakness than any other Zan.


[*] [u]Dependence on Oxygen:[/u]


In an environment with low oxygen A Zan cannot function to their full capacity. Speed and strength is cut dramatically due to the Zeln within their blood losing power in times of no oxygen. Even getting the wind knocked out of them can leave them crippled briefly.


[*] [u]Low Constitution:[/u]


Eli's level of pain tolerance is much less than that of other Zan. Despite being able to deal a lot of damage, he cannot take it. Eli is a hit and run fighter, and cannot take as many hits as the others. An attack that would only cause moderate damage can severely damage Eli.


[*] [u]Depression and PTSD:[/u]


Eli suffers from depression and needs to take medication in order to prevent a breakdown. He can aid in this by working on technology or talking to his brother, Neo. It's very rare, but in battle he can have a mental episode if his mind is stressed enough. His suit can supply medication, but it will only be enough to make him survive the fight. After that, he must return back to base to take a stronger dose, and possibly work on his hobby (electronics and technology) to distract him from his breakdown.


[*] [u]Inability to Fly:[/u]

Eli is unable to fly in his normal state. However, this may change if he gains a transformation.


[*] [u]Grudge:[/u]

Eli is extremely prone to grudges to anyone who has wronged him, someone who bested him in battle, or if they were a target and they escaped. Eli will often recklessly go after these people, driven by a lust for a death.


[b]Techniques[/b]

[*] [u]Zeln Manipulation:[/u]


The ability all Zan have, possibly one of their most feared powers. Zeln is called the 'living energy' due to how similar it acts to an actual organism. Zeln is formed when particles of it are expelled through the pores of a Zan's skin. This is either done consciously (through focused concentration) or unconsciously (Through high levels of stress, be it excitement or anger.) In this state Zeln appears vapor-like and is colored with the hue of the Zan's natural Zeln. It's harmless in this state as the particles are far to scattered to do any damage. However if a Zan uses his willpower they can merge them together to create a spark of deadly energy. This obviously takes quite a bit of time to do making the speed to form Zeln is noticeably slower to form than ki making it harder to use in rapid succession.

The average Zan cannot use all of the Zeln they produce making most Zeln bolts smaller in size compared to the average ki wave. It's also slower to move within the air and as it travels it begins to break apart. If it manages to hit it's target however one can know why it's so feared. The grouped Zeln particles begin to dissolve the matter it touches and it begins to grow and spread as it continues to 'feed.' however as it divides it's 'lifetime' is cut shorter and shorter until eventually it 'dies.' When Zeln 'dies' it begins to harden and crystallize before digging itself slightly deeper into the matter. These crystals have the affectionate name of 'blood diamonds' due to the nature in which they are created and if left untreated for great amounts of time it will take root and grow into a 'blood cluster.'

It is assumed that despite Zeln being crystallized it is merely dormant and if it stays that way long enough it will begin drawing in outside sources of energy. The growing of blood clusters is unheard of in living targets as nearly all of the times either they or their immune system removes the crystals before they can cause any real harm, the process is rather painful in larger amounts however. Another thing to note is that Zeln can be repelled by other types of energy, if it comes into contact with it the Zeln will stop spreading and instantly harden in a smaller amount or evaporate depending on how much energy is used to repel it. (This is why the Zan suffer so much after coming into contact with foreign energy) If it comes into contact with energy while airborne the bolt of Zeln will rupture and explode.




[*] [u]Zeln Mastery:[/u]


(Requires Zeln Manipulation, cannot be earned must be born with it) At the cost of most of their super human physique some Zan are born with incredible control of their Zeln. These rare Zan CAN control and use all of the Zeln they produce while also making use of it faster than the average Zan. These rare Zan are masters of ranged combat and are a force to be reckoned with. However the cost is that these Zan physically are much weaker than the other Zan. In fact their physical abilities are only just above the average human. Another cost is that the Zan's natural weakness is amplified.

Eli will use is Zeln whenever stealth is not an option, and also when weapons would put him at a disadvantage.


[*] [u]Hydra Unit Training:[/u]


The Hydra Unit, as special tactical assassination squad created and lead by Elijah Verrill, has a strenuous training program that challenges the body, but mostly the mind. Many do not make it past, as only the truly driven can be assassins.

People who have been trained under The Hydra unit have mastered CQC, (Close Quarters Combat) techniques, which use the opponents own attacks against them, such as redirecting a punch, disarming them, and incapacitating or killing them by incognito means. Focusing mainly on quick acrobatics, A Hydra Soldier will use various, almost ninja-like, flips and cart wheels to avoid attacks, if CQC is not an option. A Hydra Soldier is a master of small arms and blades as well, which make them even more deadly to their targets. Each soldier is quite adept at focusing on their enemies, so their agility is heightened well above normal soldiers.

However, one of the most deadly asset to a Hydra soldier is their sheer drive to complete their mission. They will research their target and learn to hate them, to allow zero room for hesitation and second thoughts. They will make it a personal goal to end their lives, and if their target were to get away, the Hydra Soldier will take no other case, and consistently hunt their target until they are dead. If interrogation is part of the mission, the Hydra Unit soldier will most likely turn it into a torture, and also, most likely have their "subjects" die of "accidental" reasons.


[*] Hydra Shot


A special Zeln technique that can be charged. If charged, the shot is a wide beam the size of a weak Kamehameha. If it is not charged, is around the size of a ki ball. Eli fires the shot with one arm, but leaves the other arm free. With the free arm, Eli can manipulate the movement of the attack. However, the interesting thing about this technique is that it can divide itself an unlimited amount of times. Each time the beam is divided, it's power is divided in half. So whether it be two beams, or a shower of needle-like bolts, the Hydra Shot is a very versatile technique. However, when the shots divide into their needle-like state, they are no longer homing. It is obvious that if charged, there is more room for divisions as well.


[*] S.W.A.T Carbine Training


Eli has been trained to handle the powerful S.W.A.T Carbine, which the shot serves as his ultimate attack.  (See S.W.A.T Carbine in Weapons for more details.)

[b]Goals:[/b] To maintain Military stability on Eyunna.
[b]Worst Fear:[/b] Orgonus Vax Quek

[b]History:[/b]


Apparently born for greatness, as his father constantly mentioned, Elijah Wade Verrill was the son of the High Commander Tobias Verrill and Kalinda Verrill, and the younger brother to Maximus Verril. Foreseeing potential in his High Commander's sons, Orgonus Vax Quek, a brutal Akuzera and creator of the Zan, had personally demanded to take the children and train them for years to come. The cruel Akuzera planned to use them as his own royal guards in the future, if their potential was as he foresaw. Taking the demand as a great honor, Tobias had valiantly given the Akuzera his two sons, and the two had never seen their parents since then.

Eli, no older than 5, innocent and pure, had received no training whatsoever when Orgonus had taken custody, where as Maximus, who was already 12, had received some training, but nothing compared to what the Akuzera had in store. The two young Zan were taken to the planet known as Roanoke, a training ground for some Zan, and a Work Camp for others. Zan whom had proven themselves to be great worked for Orgonus and received training at the Academy, while lesser Zan, which were looked at like scum from the others, worked in the desert to mine the crystals that contained Zeln, the natural source of the energy. Eli had begun his training the day he had reached the Academy, and it was the beginning of one of the most strenuous times of his life.

The training was a very mind degrading process, as only the strong are expected to survive. Eli and Maximus had received their own private instructors, but the Instructors did not treat them as fellow Zan. While receiving no physical scars from the training, Eli's Psyche was becoming more and more unstable as the degrading days of training went on. The only thing keeping the young boy together was the talks with his brother Max. Max had definitely been known as the strong silent type, as during the training he would not say a word to his instructor, excluding Yes sir, and No sir, phrases. Max had taken any emotional abuse like a trooper, merely staring back without a blink, thus why Eli asked him for guidance. Max however, every time, all Max said was, "Wait for your chance." He didn't know what he had meant by this, and it always kind of annoyed Eli, but somehow, it had calmed his nerves.

As more years of training went on, a discovery was made with Eli and Max. At first, it seemed like Max had no projection of Zeln whatsoever, and the instructor began to think that he was useless. However, there was Zeln flowing in his bod, but being applied differently. All of Max's Zeln was being transferred to his muscles, giving him beyond Super Human capabilities was , A Zeln-Monger. Eli on the other hand, had produced an incredible amount of Zeln for his age, or even an average Zan. Eli was known as a Zeln-Wielder, a Zan whose body was born to effortlessly produce and control Zeln energies.

With their new found discoveries, Eli had once again talked to Max for advice after another rough day. Yet this time, Max was more serious, and actually spoke something other than a one-liner. He had asked Max how they could prove themselves to Orgonus, and Max had deliberately stated that he needed to kill his instructor in order to move on. The young Zan stood there, shocked.

[align=center][IMG]img542.imageshack.us/img542/24…
                                    [color=turquoise] A young Eli stands speechless at his brother's words.[/color][/align]

How could he kill them? How could he take another person's life just like that? A dark unnatural feeling had blossomed in Eli's stomach as he pondered Max's words. Yet, even deeper down, he knew Max was right, but he still wished he was wrong.

The next day had approached and Eli looked grim, he did not eat at all for fear of throwing it back up. Max merely acted like it was a normal day, until after the first hour, he merely stood still and speechless. Eli was working with his instructor at the time, when they both heard the commotion. Max's instructor was screaming at the top of his lungs to get him to obey his orders, and all he did was just stand there, staring at the ground.

That's when it happened. The instructor was no longer screaming and now going for the punishment, a fist towards Maximus' face. Suddenly, Max's eyes tensed and bulged all white, snatching his instructor's neck. The man tried with all his might to escape Max's grip, but the teenager's muscles began to grow and tighten, the veins over his body swelling with raw power, and the grip kept on getting tighter. There was a second of silence, and then a sharp snapping sounds, and Max's former instructor's head slumped to the side. Within a second afterwards, A dozen Zan soldiers were already on the scene, and Max merely dropped the corpse and came quietly, the soldiers subduing him in the process.

The eerie snap echoed in Eli's ears, it was horrifying. However, as he looked back at his instructor, he was still watching Max being taken away. Eli looked back to his instructor, and something snapped. Out of a combination of hated and fear for his brother, Eli, now radiated with Zeln, pounced onto his instructor and grabbed his face. He didn't even have a chance to scream, as when Eli, clenched his hand around the man's face,  explosion of Zeln occurred, and the man was sent flying back several feet. The aura now gone, Eli ran over to his now dead instructor to observe what happened.

It was a very brutal scene. The man's eye sockets and mouth were now filled with bloody, jutting jade crystals of Zeln, a "Blood Cluster" as they called it. Eli panted from the exertion of energy. He had never done anything like that before, but deep inside, there was a strange feeling. Happiness? Satisfaction? Hunger? Whatever it was, he did not have a chance to find out, as the moment he turned around, he saw the butt of a F.O.E Rifle, and then, Blackout.

Eli had awoken in Orgonus' chambers. The Akuzera had seemed impressed with his early mastery of Zeln, being able to channel so much energy into one area of an attack. In a way, Eli feared this monster to no end, but there was a strive to impress. After all, this, in a way, was his father, despite the fact that he only saw him once or twice, he still had the drive. Yet, Orgonus' plan was not to praise Eli, it was to banish him to the ghettos of Roanoke, as punishment for disobeying and murdering his teacher. Immediately, Eli was shocked to find this out, but Orgonus was final, and he had stated that he only were to be banished for a year. Eli questioned what would become of Max, but Orgonus merely smiled, stating that he was well taken care of.

The streets of Roanoke were quite a different experience than the Academy where he had trained. It was a big game of survival, dog-eat dog on the streets. You never start a fight unless you are willing to beat their face in in the process. Lacking a proper shelter and only equipped with basic supplies and minimal Credits, he had managed to get taken in to an orphanage, where many young Zan children and refugees had gone either due to loss of parents or abandonment, both were equally common. At first, the gritty environment and high horse children had tried to play the dominance game with him, but he merely ignored them, and only retaliated when they attacked, but all Eli had to do was make his eyes glow with Zeln, and they would back off. He didn't care about their petty games, a fight with a snot nosed brat was nothing after you had exploded somebody's face with your hand.

As time went on, he had found a boy working on a broken air conditioner with scrap parts. The AC had hardly ever worked, but this boy had really seemed to know what he was doing. Something about the scene intrigued Eli, the various parts and functions of the device, and the complexity of the device as a whole. Eli had approached him, and just randomly began asking questions. The boy's name was Jakob, and as if he knew Eli for all his life just started talking tech, and Eli was catching on, even asking to work on the AC himself. Nobody had asked the two to work on the device, Jakob just did it as a hobby, and soon Eli would too.

Both of them began to create their own gadgets out of literally scrap metal as the months went by, such as makeshift grapple hooks, mini-tazers, replacement parts for failing devices in the Orphanage, etc. Both of them were prodigies at what they were working on, and as they created their own little makeshift inventions, their friendship grew, and soon Jakob and Eli were best friends, keeping each others backs no matter what. Eli had hardly noticed a year go by...

When Eli had awoken one day, and he saw that he was lying in his old bed in the academy. Instantly, something didn't feel right. A Zan Soldier escorted Eli out of his room, leading him to the atrium of the academy. When they arrived, Eli could not believe his eyes. Kneeling on the ground, being pushed down by the Akuzera, Orgonus Vax Quek, was Jakob, bloody and bruised.

-----------------------------------------------------

"Lord Orgonus?! What are you doing?" Eli screamed, trying to contain his absolute fear.

The Akuzera smirked, pressing his boot on Jakob's back, causing the young boy to buckle downward under the pressure. "It's been one year Elijah, you didn't forget about our conversation did you?" Pressing down even harder, causing Jakob to yelp in pain.

"I realized that, but why are you harming my friend? What are you trying to gain?"

"Elijah," The Akuzera continuing in his usual sly manner, "This is your final test before progressing to the advance stages of your training."

"What are you talking about?" What does he have to do with it?"

"Kill Him." The monster merely stated.

Eli's eyes widened, and Jakob began to cough, slowly into tears.

"I-I-..." Eli stood shaking, in complete disbelief of what he had just heard. "I-can't."

"If you do not kill him," Orgonus merely stated, "Then I will crush your brother and mother's head under my heel. Now I suggest you pick."

Eli was frozen, fear bound him to the spot, and tears began to flow out of his eyes. What could he do? Either way was betraying the people whom he cared about the most. How did he end up here? How could he deserve this?

"....Eli.." Jakob said under pained breaths. "....just run away. Don't listen to...him.,GAHHHH!!" He screamed as his ribs snapped under the pressure of Orgonus' boot, in which he laughed.

Slowly, Eli took a few steps forward, his long white hair completely covering his tear drenched eyes. He was eventually in front of Jakob, standing tall and clenching his fists. There was no other option.

"J-Jakob...I-I'm sorry." He said through pained sobs.

Jakob's eyes widened, tears flowing as well. "No Eli..*cough*, please..you can't.."

"Jakob, *sob* forgive me."

"Eli- Please!"

"KILL HIM!" Screamed the monster.

"GRAAAAHHHH!" Eli screamed with his hands spread out, coated with Jade Zeln, tears evaporating off his face, imagining Orgonus' face on Jakob's.

"NO! ELI DON-!" Screamed his best friend, but it was already too late. Eli's hand shot forward and clenched Jakob's face, filling the room with jade light and a blood curdling scream, Orgonus releasing his boot off Jakob in the process.

Jakob's body was sent tumbling a few feet away from the spot, leaving a trail of blood on the ground as he rolled. Bloody Jade crystals jutted out of the boy's mouth and eye sockets, and two streams of tears ran down the side of his cheeks.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

From that moment on, Eli had become a weapon. No longer did he feel the urge to have content thoughts. Orgonus had brainwashed him into the very kind of soldier he wanted, cruel and merciless. However, deep inside, Eli was unstable. The murder of his own best friend was eating the Zan alive, and the only thing to distract him were his missions and working on technology, which he constantly did. Orgonus had taught him in the ways of being an Assassin through other specialty teachers, which would soon be the foundation for Eli's Hydra Unit in the future.


Maximus had in turn not been harmed or sent away. During Eli's absence, Max was further trained in his Special Zeln-Monger ways by a fellow Monger. This had made Max an extremely powerful force, and with Eli, Orgonus had a very balanced set of Royal guards. One to get in up close, and one to attack from the distance. Yet, Max and Eli had changed. They no longer spoke to each other privately like they had done before. Max seemed like he was in his own world, and Eli seemed to lack any interest in conversing with another, only his missions and one hobby.

As years of being guards on Orgonus' flagship, The Black Behemoth, Eli and Max grew even more apart, only now seeing each other at their posts. What had happened to those years of brotherhood?  Was Max...disappointed in Eli?


Eli showed great promise in his Assassination missions, and Orgonus had taken notice. Word had gone out about a rebellion struggle in the mines of Roanoke, and it had been started by one man, which was now their leader. Eli was given the task to eliminate that leader a few months after the initial rebellion, but was stopped before he could leave, as the rebellion had come to the Black Behemoth itself! Eli and Max were then stationed at Orgonus' chambers doors for the majority of the time. Many explosions and battles could be heard throughout the siege, but Eli and Max had been ordered to stay put.

A few hours of combat, and finally, after the suspense had grown, one man had suddenly appeared from the shadows, attacking Eli and Max with a sneak attack. Judging from his appearance and what his hit description was when Eli was going to be sent to assassinate him, this was the same person. Bright red hair, orange eyes, and scars all over his face. This man had seen some combat, but he was much younger than he thought he would be. Yet before he could keep pondering about his appearance, the man perched himself upon Max's shoulders and started to relentlessly beat him with his fists, screaming with anger. Max was shocked at first, but instantly came to his senses and threw him off. At the same time, Eli had fired a blast of Zeln towards him, but he noticed it at the right time and dodged it.

The battle had went on for quite some time, but strangely, the Rebel leader had gained the upper hand! With what seemed to be unending stamina, he had actually knocked Maximus out with a headbutt, and Eli could only blink as a fist smashed itself into his face, and he was out cold as well.

Vision blurry as he had awaken, Eli would see the figure of Max waking him up after the battle. Max had various bruises and dried blood over his face, but he still had his same mug of toughness, as if even being beaten down could not harm his pride. Eli was then pulled to his feet to watch the battle taking fold in Orgonus' chamber. It turns out that the Rebel leader's name was Neo, and he was Eli and Max's brother. This had taken Eli by surprise. Another brother? Was his father as faithful as he claimed?

Regardless, Eli and Max watched in amazement as the warrior took Orgonus down! This completely shocked both of them. Normally, their powers seemed equal to his, but what gave this Neo the edge, and put them at a disadvantage? Eli wondered, was it something to fight for? Was it the drive that it was all or nothing? This was something that Eli had to discover, and in order to find it, Eli needed Neo. Running into the room, Max followed, and Eli grabbed Neo, with the help of Max, and took him to the escape pods. When Eli asked Max if he was coming, Max replied No, stating that Eli had lost his way and he needed to aid Neo to find it again. Suddenly, an urge of sadness went over Eli, as his brother was telling him that it was goodbye. Emotion, which Eli did not feel for years, at least infront of others, began to show, and Eli's eyes grew wet, but he quickly wiped them away and nodded at Max, hoping that he could prove that he can change.

The pod left, and afterwards, Neo and Eli were regarded as heroes among the rebels. Slowly, Eli was beginning to adjust to the new life which had set before him. He was no longer a pawn of the monster, and now he could start anew. Eli and Neo were then nominated to join the Military on the planet Eyuuna, and were awarded the titles of Colonel (Neo), and Lt. Colonel (Eli). Eli was also granted his own specialized unit to cover Assassination missions, due to his previous skills. He is also the head of technology and engineering at the base, which kept him pretty busy.  However, Eli's personality was still scarred, and it will take time for him to recover, but he thinks Neo can help with that.

However, Neo had recently dissipated for a while, and Eli was sent to search for him. If he was dead, he would report it back and take Neo's place. If alive, bring him back, and if he refuses, relieve of duty. However, Neo is the only one that can possibly help him, so he is currently hoping he can bring him back. Using a small ship, Eli traveled in space looking for his energy signature, but then came across a rift, which was flooding with Neo's signal. Before traveling inside, Eli left a message back at the base and plunged into it. He came into the atmosphere which looked like planet Earth, and he had crash landed in an archipelago. He is now currently searching for Neo.

[QUOTE] A stormy night fell across the planet of Eyunna. A new terrorist group had arisen in the tropical areas, which were using the water to extract the water from the area and chemically engineer the oxygen out to create mass quantities of hydrogen bombs, and were holding the military for a ransom. These people needed to be eliminated, but quietly. Their demands have been issued, and they had stated that if they had found any military forces on their grounds, they will launch their bombs. Then they would just not have to find them then.

Eli stood upon a hill watching the complex with the Hydra Unit behind him. His visor was closed, and his eyes were giving off a glow through the visor. There was a flash of lightning, and the group was gone. Quietly, the Hydra Unit split up into different sections of the base. Eli crept towards the back, hiding behind a crate.

"Alpha Squad and Delta Squad, await my orders." Eli's voice rang in the others ears.

"Roger." They replied in unison, quietly.

Eli began to rise from behind the crate. "I am going to disable the security systems. As soon as you get the all clear signal, Alpha, you will sneak in through the side and silently wipe out all the guards in the complex. Delta, you will rendezvous with Alpha after you gain intel on the bombs and making sure to disable them. I will then proceed to the leader and "talk" with him. There is no room for failure. Do not fail." Eli's last words were sharp, and the unit replied, acknowledging the risks.

After that moment, Eli's armor cloaked, creeping behind a guard as he walked into the complex. His footsteps were masked by the stealth field, and this guard's perception was low enough to not be able to sense him. After the guard had reached a blind spot from other eyes, Eli uncloaked behind the man. Instantly, the guards radar beeped, indicating him to turn around. A sharp buzz sound filled the air, and as the guard turned, Eli plunged a D.I.C.E blade through the bottom of his chin, which sliced right through to his mouth. When the man opened his mouth in pain, the D.I.C.E blade could be seen inside. After a few seconds of struggle, Eli extracted the blade, and the man crumpled to the ground, dead before he hit. However, Eli caught the man and dragged him into a corner. There was a trail of blood, but before the complex noticed, they would already be there to slit their throat.

Quickly, Eli ran towards the surveillance room and pressed himself against the wall near the door. Slowly, he pulled out his pistol and switched it to ionic rounds, awaiting for the chance. He could see where the guard was moving with his motion sensor, and his suit tuned in to his frequency.

"Eh, I'll be right back guys, gotta take a piss."

When the guard opened the door, he was suddenly surprised to see Eli flip around to the door and fire a round into the mans armor. Instantly, a surge of electricity shocked the man and fried the communications gear. He was now alone.

"What the-oof!"

A quick series of punches and a sharp kick to the guards chest sent him stumbling back, slightly dazed.

"Back-Up! Send- what?"

"You're dark." Eli said with a smirk.

"Fuck! Who are you!?" The man yelled as drew an energy dagger.

"My name is Eli Verrill of the Eyuunian Military, I am a Zan."

At first, the man was shocked that he had revealed his identity so easily, but soon realized that it meant, and charged towards Eli in anger. Eli just stood there and waited, the guard now running in a stabbing motion. At that moment however, Eli shifted his torso, but kept his legs in the same spot, grabbing the arm that now missed.

"Wha-?" Was all he could say, when Eli kept one hand on the arm with the knife, and used his free elbow to strike him in the gut. As Eli expected, the man lost his breath and leaned forward. Taking this chance, Eli, with his arm still grabbing onto the arm with the knife, rolled over the mans back, the man now grunting in pain as his arm was extended to an unnatural position. The man was now completely at Eli's mercy.

"Now, to make this easier on both of us, tell me the code to disable the system. If you don't, I'll find out anyway, so I suggest you be honest." He said, applying more pressure to the arm.

"I'd rather die you Zan Freak!"

"Easy enough."

Placing his free hand over the mans mouth, Eli then motioned the mans arm to stab himself in the back, his scream muffled by Eli's hand. After a few more seconds, Eli felt the life drain and dropped the guard on the ground. He laughed as he watched him slowly writhe in death. It would have been the same outcome regardless, but it was more fun when they tried to play hero.

Now walking over to the console, Eli, after a few minutes, cracked the code. For a terrorist organization, their security wasn't very hard to crack. Perhaps they thought that nobody would come. A foolish decision. In a cold and commanding voice, Eli called the others on his codec.

"Alpha, Delta, commence mission."
