In Little Garden, Sanctum, there’s a 11 year old boy that wished to be a Superhero. That wish came true when he turned 15 years old. He gained the ability to control fire at will. The very next day, he met a girl named Rose Jones, which was a tech genius in an alleyway laying on the ground. The man walked toward her and said, “You don’t look good at all, milady.”
She heard that and opened her eyes and saw him and Zefiro said, “You are awake.”
Rose heard that and looked at him and asked, “Who are you?”
Zefiro answered, “I’m Zefiro De Salvo. You are?”
Rose answered, “I’m Hong Kong.”
Zefiro sighed and said, “You don’t even know who you are.”
He put his hand by her hand and Rose felt that and started blushing and asked, “What are you doing?”
Zefiro’s eyes changed and Rose saw that and then her files appeared in front of them and Zefiro said, “You are Rose Jones. A female. Weighs 125 lb. You are good with technology. And you were beaten to a pulp.”
Rose heard that and asked, “How are you doing that?”
Zefiro answered, “Good question.”
Some people appeared and said, “Sir, please step away from her body.”
Zefiro said, “It’s a good thing that you have a hard head. If you didn’t have a hard head, you would have died.”
Rose heard that and asked, “How do you know that?”
Zefiro answered, “The analyzation of your head shows proof of you being hit by a steel pipe.”
The people asked, “Are you even listening to us?”
Rose said, “So you are saying that I was hit by a steel pipe?”
Zefiro answered, “Yes. You probably weren’t paying attention when you were hit by the person.”
Rose said, “I see.”
The people yelled, “Are you listening to us dammit?”
Zefiro turned his head toward them and stared at them and said, “Oh, how may I help you?”
Rose answered, “They are probably here to kill me. You might as well just leave now.”
Zefiro heard that and looked at her and asked, “What are you talking about? Leaving a girl to die ain’t my thing, sweetheart. I’m too nice to let you die.”
Rose heard that and then the people said, “Step away from her body.”
Zefiro asked, “What if I say no?”
They answered, “We’ll kill you.”
Zefiro said, “Kill me then.”
He put his arms out and they saw that and said, “Just shoot him already.”
Zefiro said, “Stay down now Rose.”
Rose heard that and said, “OK.”
They started shooting at him and the bullets flew right through him and Zefiro fell down to the ground and Rose saw that and saw the holes in his body surrounded by fire and asked herself, “What the hell are with those holes in his body? They are on fire.”
They walked over to Rose’s body and said, “Miss, do you mind coming with us? Virus is waiting for us.”
Rose heard that and said, “No, don’t let me near him again.”
Virus’ Henchmen started laughing and walked toward her and Rose looked at them and asked, “Wait, what are you going to do to me?”
Zefiro heard that and fire came out of his mouth and Virus’ Henchmen saw that and jumped back and looked at Zefiro and he stuck his tongue out and it was on fire and they saw that and Zefiro sat up and kept his tongue out to allow it to cool down and Rose saw that and said to herself, “Impossible. Now his tongue is on fire. What the hell are you?”
Zefiro looked at her and said, “Oh boy. Stop thinking so much.”
Virus’ Henchmen aimed their guns at him and Zefiro stood up slowly and said, “Man, you really need to stop saying Virus’ name now.”
Rose heard that and they asked, “Why should we? Are you afraid?”
Zefiro answered, “Nope. Just hate the person.”
Rose looked at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Zefiro looked at his body and they said, “Virus will surely come after you because of this.”
His body went ablaze and Zefiro’s voice and personality changed and said, “Virus will pay for what he did to me. So keep saying his name. I’ll just track him down and annihilate him.”
They heard that and said, “I doubt that. Virus is capable of escaping you with ease.”
Blitzfire smiled and blew fire out of his mouth and they moved out of the way and Blitzfire flew toward them and then one of them swung at him and punched him into the ground and Blitzfire felt that and grinned and then one of them took a sword out and went to swing at him and Rose saw that and Blitzfire laid there and looked up wondering where he was and then the sword went through his neck and cut it off and Virus’ Henchmen smiled and said, “Virus will not die by your hands.”
Rose heard that and then police cars from the LGPD (Little Garden Police Department) started their sirens and Virus’ Henchmen heard that and said, “Shit. We’re off Rose. But we will be back for you.”
Rose crawled over to Blitzfire and asked, “Are you ok?”
Blitzfire didn’t answer her and then Commissioner Harry White appeared before her and said, “Stop.”
Rose stopped and then his head started stitching itself back together to his torso and Blitzfire’s hands started moving and Rose saw that and then asked, “Are you ok?”
Commissioner White asked, “Didn’t you hear me? Stop!”
Blitzfire opened his eyes and sat up and said, “Commissioner White, huh. You came a little later than expected.”
Commissioner heard that and said, “You were the one that called us.”
Blitzfire answered, “Yes. My predictions are always right. She was attacked by Virus’ Henchmen. I can tell because of the bump on the back of her head.”
Rose heard that and Commissioner White looked at her head and asked, “What the hell is that?”
Blitzfire answered, “That’s known as a Digital Infection. Digital Infection is a virus that’ll turn your body into data. You will no longer be capable of getting your original body back and you won’t be human anymore. You’ll be a figure that is like data in a computer’s mainframe.”
Commissioner White heard that and asked, “How do we cure it?”
Blitzfire answered, “There isn’t a cure. She would actually be the first victim to actually have it.”
Commissioner White said, “That’s why there is no cure then.”
Blitzfire said, “Exactly. Now, why does Virus want you?”
Rose heard that and answered, “I ran away from Virus’ hideout.”
Blitzfire heard that and asked, “Do you remember where the hideout is? Or which way you came?”
Rose asked, “What did Virus do to you?”
Blitzfire answered, “I’ll tell you that later. Just answer my question.”
Rose said, “Oh, my bad. I forgot. Is that a problem?”
Commissioner White answered, “No it’s not. We’ll just have to look for clues.”
Blitzfire said, “Yep.”
He walked toward where they shot at him and his eyes changed and all the items that looked like evidence glowed in gold and he looked around and Rose looked at him and Commissioner White asked, “How long does she have before she turns into data, kid?”
Blitzfire answered, “According to my calculations, it was injected into her 3 days ago. She shows signs of turning already. So I have to estimate here. About 2 more days before she completely turns into data.”
Commissioner White heard that and said, “Just 2 days. So it’s a 5 day disease.”
Blitzfire said, “I’m afraid so.”
While Blitzfire was looking for the empty shells from the bullets that were shot at him, Virus appeared on the screen in the alleyway and said, “Fire brat, you gave a name to my toxin, huh. Well, virus that I just created. Digital Infection, huh. I actually like that. Well, I got plenty more where that came from. But hey, this is only the beginning. I got the entire world to turn into data and I’m the only one with the cure. If you want the cure for that girl that was supposed to be my torture doll, you’ll have to find me within 8 days. That’s all the time that she has left. See you around.”
Commissioner White heard that and said, “He didn’t realise who you were. I thought that he did something to you.”
Blitzfire said, “This isn’t my real form. I’m actually a human that turned into this yesterday. I always wanted to help people, and now I got my wish. I was given the power to protect the people of Sanctum. It won’t be an easy journey, but I’ll enjoy it.”
Commissioner White said, “Now let me ask you this, how aren’t you dead?”
Blitzfire answered, “It’s quite simple. Bullets and weapons don’t work on me. That’s all I can say about this topic.”
Rose heard that and said, “I only have 8 more days as a human. Then I turn into data.”
Blitzfire answered, “Yes. But I believe that if you do turn into data, you are still capable of talking like a normal person would. But people would be looking at you like ‘What the hell is that?’ ‘Is that a ghost?’ ‘Is this for real?’ And all other kinds of shit like that. Now we just need to find Virus.”
Commissioner White said, “You are right.”
Blitzfire found a shell and picked it up and whispered, “Analyze. I need to know what type of bullet was inside here. I also want to know what the manufacturer is as well. That might lead me to Virus.”
His butler, Charles Carlton said, “Yessir. You mentioned something about a Digital Infection. What does that exactly do?”
Blitzfire answered, “It’s a new disease created by Virus. In 10 days, the disease will turn the person's body into data. And there is no turning the person back from it. We got our first patient already. Maybe I should get some of her blood so you could start making the cure.”
Charles said, “Yes you should sir.”
He put the shell in his pocket and then walked toward Rose and Commissioner White asked, “Did you find anything over there that could help us track down Virus?”
Blitzfire answered, “Yes I did. Bullet shells. They are all over the ground over there.”
Commissioner White said, “Get the forensic guys over there and find me some bullet shells.”
They said, “Yessir.”
Commissioner White said, “Well Fire Brat, what do you plan on doing now?”
Blitzfire smiled and answered, “Can’t tell you. Put her in the hospital. I’ll be bringing the cure to her there.”
Rose said, “I want to go with you.”
Blitzfire said, “You’ll be safer in the hospital. But before I do leave you. I have to do something.”
He took out his Blood Sack and put it in her arm and pressed down and her blood entered it and then Blitzfire said, “Now that I have a sample of your blood, which is mixed with the Digital Infection disease that Virus injected into you. I could help make a cure for everyone that gets infected with it.”
Commissioner White said, “Smart thinking.”
Blitzfire said, "It might take me awhile, but I think that I could handle it."
Blitzfire flew away and Commissioner White said, “Bring the ambulance back here.”
They drove back and opened up the back doors and Rose stood up and entered the ambulance and Commissioner White closed the doors and then pounded on the doors to let them know that it’s ok to leave. The ambulance took off and Charles said, “Sir, I analyzed the shell that you got from Virus’ Henchmen. It’s a 7.62X39mm. They were using AK-47’s, sir. The manufacturer of both the AK-47’s and the 7.62X39mm bullet rounds, are Eclipse Ammo Store, for the bullets. And Russian Gunsmith, for the guns. They are both well-known stores for weapons.”
Blitzfire said, “OK. I’m headed to Eclipse Ammo Store first. Could you send me the directions to where it is located?”
Charles answered, “Yessir. The directions should be on your hub sir.”
Blitzfire heard that and said, “OK. I found it. Thank you, Charles.”
Charles said, “No problem sir.”
Blitzfire flew toward Eclipse Ammo Store and 10 minutes later, he appeared in front of the building and walked inside and everyone looked at him and the owner stared at him and asked, “How may I help you, flame guy?”
Blitzfire answered, “I’m wondering if you could show me a list of all the people that bought the 7.62X39mm bullet rounds.”
The owner heard that and said, “Yessir.”
While she was getting the list of customers, Charles said, “Sir, that would be the owner of Eclipse Ammo Store. Her name is Eileen Eclipse and has taken over the company for her father. It’s not really a place where criminals would go. The police go here to buy what they need.”
Blitzfire said, “I see. So this is a family business. And now she’s running this place all by herself.”
Charles said, “Yessir. I’m afraid that her father died in a car accident. The person that killed him was a drunk driver. And he survived the collision.”
Blitzfire asked, “Where is he now?”
Charles answered, “He’s nowhere to be seen, sir.”
Blitzfire said, “Find him Charles.”
Charles said, “Yessir.”
Eileen walked forward and said, “Sorry that it took me so long. Here it is.”
Blitzfire said, “Thank you.”
He walked to the counter with the papers and started looking through them and wrote down the names of whom bought the 7.62X39mm bullet rounds and Eileen smiled and asked, “What happened to the people that bought them?”
Blitzfire answered, “Some people tried killing me. Wait, did they come to pick it up or did you ship it to them?”
Eileen answered, “They came to pick it up. Is something that matter?”
Blitzfire answered, “No. I’m just looking for them. That’s all.”
Eileen heard that and Blitzfire walked out of her store and Charles said, “She was rather nervous sir.”
Blitzfire said, “I know that. Find out why.”
Charles said, “Yessir.”
Eileen looked at him and said to herself, “He was on fire. I wonder who he was.”
Blitzfire flew to the first name on the list, Ethan Read.
