The Jax

(This is the first of the Jax stories)


Voice over of Cool in a dark alley with homeless families: I know I can't help them. The next wave is on its way. How do I do this? These people are so unaware of there destruction. I want to help. I don't know how... Now I live in a new world that will witness the end of humanity. 48 hours have changed my life. Where do I go next? I wish I know. My name is Cool Deather, ex-FBI agent. This is my story...



*48 hours ago*

Cool: Greetings.

Assistant Director Alfred Hitchcock: Where the hell were you?

Cool: I'm on time.

Hitchcock: We've been calling you all night.

Cool: I'm sorry.

Hitchcock: Something big is going on. Orders from Washington want us to shut down up here.

Cool: Why?

Hitchcock: I have no clue. We gotta close the books at 9 PM tonight.

Cool: I see.

Hitchcock: I'm really sorry. The government will be paying you for life though.

Cool: Yippee....

Hitchcock: I don't sense gratitude, Mr. Deather.

Cool: I lost my job.

Hitchcock: You just got to let it go.

Cool: Sure. I'll be out in a few minutes.

Hitchcock: Great. *walks into board room*

*board room, only Hitchcock and other man in there*

Hitchcock: Every remaining agent has been disposed of their duties.

man: Excellent.

Hitchcock: What trouble do we have, sir?

man: My high advisor will tell me later.

Hitchcock: Yes, sir.

man: You may leave.

Hitchcock: *leaves board room*

man: *picks up phone*

*Cool's office*

Cool: I can't believe it is over.

Yabadaba: I know.

Cool: I wanna know why.

Yabadaba: We could spy on Hitch.

Cool: Good idea.

*vents*

Cool: I think he is in the board room. We are over the air thing. I can hear them speaking.

*board room*

Hitchcock: Sir.

man: A new breed of creature is slowly growing on Earth. They are called the Jax. We do not know what will happen but they are growing quick.

Hitchcock: What will happen if we don't stop it?

man: We will be taken over.

Hitchcock: Oh my god.

man: The strangest thing is that may be able to turn into humans. The only distinct characteristic is bumps on a vertibre. We only got this from cell particles. They can shape shift.

Hitchcock: We will stop them?

man: Supposively.

Hitchcock: If we don't?

man: Humanity will be doomed. There is little we can do. We have to let them grow on our planet. We may even have to let them take over.

Cool: OH MY GOD!

man: Who is that?

Hitchcock: I don't know.

Yabadaba: Great job, idiot.

Hitchcock: That is Julious Yabadaba.

man: I see.

*9 PM, still NY*

Cool: Great party throw here.

Hitchcock: Thank you.

Cool: Who is that man over there?

Hitchcock: My boss.

Cool: I see. I... Will see you again?

Hitchcock: I hope.

*streets, later*

Cool: What do we do?

Yabadaba: I have no clue.

Cool: We can think tomorrow. I'm tired. I'll stop by tomorrow, okay?

Yabadaba: Okay.

*Cool's home*

Cool: Hey, hun.

Gyara: Hi. How was work?

Cool: I'm out. I'm forced to retired.

Gyara: Oh... I'm so sorry.

cool: Don't be. A night of sex can replace that.

*next morning*

Cool: Police cars? Oh crap! *runs to Yabadaba's home* No...

Hitchcock: *standing outside* Agent Deather.

Cool: What happened?

Hitchcock: He was decomposed of.

Cool: How?

Hitchcock: I have no clue.

Cool: Really?

Hitchcock: Yes.

Cool: I don't believe you.

Hitchcock: Why?

Cool: I was with Agent Yabadaba in the vent. I know everything.

Hitchcock: You are as shocked as me, no doubt?

Cool: Yes.

Hitchcock: My superior will not like this.

Cool: Don't tell him.

Hitchcock: I have to.

Cool: No you don't.

Hitchcock: YES! I do. You do not fight us. We will kill to cover this up. We will kill you.

Cool: I'll keep it a secret.

Hitchcock: I doubt that. I'll trust you. I just hope you trust yourself.

*office in building*

man: *on phone* Yes. Yes. Yes. Very well. *hangs up*

Hitchcock: *enters*

man: Mr. Hitchcock. What do you have for me?

Hitchcock: Agent Deather. He knows.

man: He does.

Hitchcock: Yes.

man: Kill him.

Hitchcock: Perhaps he can join us.

man: Kill him.

Hitchcock: Please don't.

man: I have orders to have everyone who knows out of the organisation to be eliminated.

Hitchcock: I'll make the call.

man: I most certainly hope you do.

*alley*

Hitchcock: I'm glad you showed.

Cool: Why wouldn't I?

Hitchcock: I've had orders to kill you.

Cool: Why?

Hitchcock: You know.

Cool: *backs away*

Hitchcock: I'm going to let you live. I just hope for your sake you know what you are doing. There are some of them who have been around for a while. There are bumps on their neck. Watch your back. I hope you do.

Cool: Thanks. *walks home*

*night, home*

Gyara: Where were you today?

Cool: I know... I know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I had to... nevermind.

Gyara: You are very disappointing. There is something you aren't telling me.

Cool: I can't.

Gyara: Fine.

Cool: Okay. Wanna watch tv?

Gyara: Sure. Close Encounters is on.

Cool: *sits on counch next to gyara*

Gyara: Lovely night.

Cool: Yes. *puts hand over Gyara and feels something on neck*

Gyara: What are you touching?

Cool: You got bumps... on your neck. Do you have a spine problem?

Gyara: Lets check it out in the bathroom.

*bathroom*

Gyara: *shoves Cool into bathtub*

Cool: What are you doing?

Gyara: KILLING YOU! *pulls out gun*

Cool: Why?

Gyara: We are spreading. We will kill you humans. Your former agency will not be helping the world in the end.

Cool: But we are married.

Gyara: Your wife is dead. Her body has your prints all over and is being turned into the police as we speak.

Cool: Monster!

Gyara: Of course I am.

Cool: What are you?

Gyara: Something you won't seel

Cool: *throws stuff out of pockets to distract Gyara, throws open salt packet in it*

Gyara: ARG! SALT!

Cool: You have a weakness?

Gyara: *falls to ground*

Cool: *runs to get salt shaker and shakes salt onto Gyara*

Gyara: NO!!!!! *shrivels melts*

*police cars pull up*

Cool: I'm being framed... by the FBI and these creatures. *jumps out window, running from cops*

*scene goes to dark alley again*

Cool's voice over: My wife is dead. My best friend is dead. My job is gone. The creatures and FBI are after me. I don't know where to start... but I know a weakness.

*office*

Hitchcock: Your men, the new FBI agents, have arrived.

man: Excellent.

Hitchcock: What are your intentions?

man: I don't quite understand?

Hitchcock: What are your intentions on the project?

man: Mine? To stop them.

Hitchcock: I see.

man: The creatures will be disposed of eventually. The time has to come.

Hitchcock: Yes. Thank you, sir.

man: Your welcome.

Hitchcock: One more question Mr. Dredd. Your superior... what are his intentions?

Mr. Dredd: What do you think?

Hitchcock: I'm sorry. *walks out*

*hallway*

Hitchcock: Interesting intentions. *laughs and walks down hallway* Hilarious. *bumps are on his neck, he has been Jax*

Hye: How do you know about the Jax?

Cool: I was in the FBI. They kicked us out and replaced us. I overheard talking.

Jax: The mutants look up to us. Why? We can save humanity.

Cool: How?

Jax: I created the Jax in a lab. I was trying to use laser technology to create a new kind of mold. I made something. It really screwed up my lab. I was fired. They tried to kill me so I live under here.

Hye: I lead these mutants. He came to me for help. Now we need to know how to stop them.

Jax: They are weak to salt. I guess it is like fire to them. They melt.

Hye: They do? Then ocean water is like volcanoes to them.

Cool: Why are you down here?

Hye: It was originally to find my brother. Circus... come in.

Circus: *three eyes, no arms or legs, no voice box, uses wheelchair to travel with brain frequencies and brain frequencies help him travel* Yes, brother?

Hye: My brother is a mutant. A Cripple Mutant.

Cool: well, *puts hand out to shake hand* Oh... whoops. I'l just pat you on the back. *pats wheelchair and it goes out door down ramp into sewer water and traveling to an unknown area* Whoops.

Hitchcock: Don't worry. It was under the leader's orders. Follow him.

Uphard: Yes.

THE END


The Jax: Beyond the Ice
(AKA: The Jax 4)


Cool's voiceover: I have been hiding for too long. It is time to get the information I need. If it kills me? It will. The end is near... I must stop it. I must go Beyond the Ice. A few hours ago...

*hours ago*

Cool: *in air vent*

Uphard: Sir...

Hitchcock: Good evening, Agent Uphard.

Uphard: He knows quite a bit.

Hitchcock: I know.

Uphard: He must be eliminated.

Hitchcock: No. You may blow our cover.

Uphard: How?

Hitchcock: You can blow our cover to Dredd. I also have other reasons.

Uphard: I see.

Hitchcock: What have you seen?

Uphard: He is suspecting relationships with Blair Woods.

Uphard: What if he continues into the woods?

Hitchcock: He won't.

Uphard: I have discovered where Mr. Deather lives.

Hitchcock: Oh?

Uphard: Underground.

Cool: *gets out of there*

Hitchcock: As a Jax, I would like him dead. As an AD of the FBI, keep him alive.

Uphard: Fine.


*sewer*


Cool: The FBI knows we are here.

Jax: Oh really?

Cool: Yeah.

Jax: How do you know?

Cool: I spied on my old boss, Hitchcock.

Jax: And?

Cool: an agent told him we were down we lived.

Jax: Oh crap.

Cool: I know.

Hye: What if this Hitchcock is a Jax.

Jax: Yeah.

Cool: I don't think so. He is only out to help me.

Hye: He could be Jax. This other agent may too.

Cool: What if his boss, the guy who I learned everything from while spying is Jax?

Hye: He could be.

*present*

Cool's voiceover: We left New York to Montreal. Only to hopefully go beyond this ice.

Jax: You ready?

Cool: For what?

Uphard: They have no weakness.

Dredd: yes... I suppose.

Uphard: May I go?

Hitchcock: And I?

Dredd: Yes.

Uphard: I will serve man.

Uphard: What is your name?

Jax: I CREATED YOU.

Uphard: We can't kill him.

Cool: Who are you?

Dredd: Mr. Dredd. how are you in an FBI Base?

Cool: FBI base of Jax base.

Dredd: Ah... Former Agent Deather.

Cool: *looks on neck* You aren't Jax.

Dredd: of course not.

Cool: I see.

Dredd: I'm not up on the current slang, Mr. Deather... but do the kids still say "GET THE HELL OUT OF MY OFFICE!!!"?

Cool: Um..

Dredd: *writes down on paper: GET THE HELL OUT and puts in in envelope and throws it at Cool* There's your Christmas card.

Cool: Fine.

Dredd: However, I will ask you to die. *guns on walls shoot at Cool*

Cool: AH!!! *jumps out window*

Hitchcock: 2002?

Cool: yeah.

Cool: Unless you are Jax. *feels neck* No... you are human.

Hitchcock: Jax?

Cool: Let me tell you everything. *tells story*

Hitchcock: Good god.

Cool: The FBI has intentions of stopping the Jax. They've done nothing. I believe the Jax are secretly taking over the FBI. They even know where we are. That is why we are moving.

Hitchcock: Dredd... I've only met him once. I must get to work and stop them all.

Cool: Go.

*FBI Offices*

Carey: What the hell are you doing here, Hitchcock?

Circus: No.

Jax: Order!

Hye: Just do it, Circ.

Circus: I'll do it next week.

Jax: Fine.


*alley*

Cool: Where do I go from here? Can they really be beated?

Hitchcock: What are you talking about?

Cool: The Jax.

Hitchcock: lets go back.

Cool: How did you find me?

Hitchcock: I followed you.

Cool: I see.

Hitchcock: *walks with Cool, bumps on neck*

*sewers*

Hitchcock: *walks in* That jackass Uphard, was right.

Cool: What?

Hitchcock: nothing.

Cool: oh? *walks into Hye's office*

*Hye's office*

Hye: Al... didn't you just leave to get some beers?

Hitchcock: No.

Hye: Okay.

Cool: something is off.

Hye: Yeah.

Hitchcock: You are all going to die. *pulls out hi tech gun*

Cool: What are you doing?

Hitchcock: Killing you all for the Jax.

Cool: but... you are human.

Hitchcock: It all came together. I planned it all. Yes... all.... Now I kill you... all. Recently I've been freed Hitchcock to lead me to the exact location.

Cool: *pulls out salt shaker*

JaxHitchcock: *shoots shaker with gun, it vaporizes*

RealHitchcock (Hitchcock): *walks in* Hey... OH CRAP!

JaxHitchcock: *chokes Hitchcock*

Hitchcock: AH! *takes out device and presses trigger*

Cool: What is that shit?

Hitchcock: *lifts up shirt to reveal bomb*

Cool: OH SHIT! *runs with others out of there*


*sewer tanks above on catwalks*

Hitchcock: Why are you doing this?

Jax Hitchcock: To control.

Hitchcock: Why? Can't you live with humans?

Jax Hitchcock: It isn't that easy. They would never allow it. We've been studying. It would fail. Humans are too weak. Soon... we will have it all.

Hitchcock: I'm going to kill you.

Jax Hitchcock: All signs point to... NO.

Hitchcock: I got 5 minutes before this thing goes off. it will kill us all.

JaxHitchcock: Both.

Hitchcock: *strangles his duplicate*

JaxHitchcock: It's over!

Hitchcock: *continues choking him*

JaxHitchcock: YOU FAIL TO REALIZE THAT... *struggles to breathe*

Hitchcock: I don't care. *pushes his duplicate over catwalk*

JaxHitchcock: *hanging to end* Acid cannot kill me.

Hitchcock: It'll stall you.... the bomb will blow up the salt tanks in here.

JaxHitchcock: How smart. *starts to transform*

Hitchcock: *wants to leave* NO!!! *holds his duplicate from morphing*

JaxHitchcock: DAMN YOU! *drops into acid tank*

Hitchcock: Great... he's dead. *bomb explodes at door and Hitchcock is trapped in*

JaxHitchcock: *Alive in tank*

Hitchcock: We both die.

JaxHitchcock: Its worth it.

*sewers explode*

*later, Unknown Location*

Dredd: Good evening.

Mr. Tybo: Good evening.

Mr. Utoni: You finally got here.

Mr. Smith: Yes. We've been waiting.

Mr. Renge: Ah yes.

Mr. Smith: Dredd, as leader of this organisation... you may go first.

Dredd: We are successfully coorperating with the Jax. We may hopefully create a vaccine against take over.

Tybo: A vaccine?

Dredd: Yes.

Utoni: The vaccine will help us take back what is ours.

Smith: Ah... yes... and your superior in the FBI?

Dredd: He is supplying the goods for this organisation.

Tybo: Now... Mr. Deather matters.

Dredd: AD Hitchcock was apparently a Jax member. Operating right under my nose. That is why i need better security.

Tybo: You cannot handle it.

Dredd: I can.

Smith: Get your act together, Dredd.

Dredd: The Jax may have more. Former Agent Deather seems to have a target on the FBI.

Smith: Eliminate him.

Dredd: I originally though that.

Utoni: And?

Dredd: He is more useful alive.

Tybo: I don't understand.

Dredd: Kill Mr. Deather, and you turn one man's quest into a horror.

Tybo: I see.

Dredd: I will soon change my location. One of you must take control of my divison of the FBI for security reasons.

Tybo: I will.

Smith: Yes. Tybo will do excellent.

Tybo: I will have Deather killed.

Dredd: NO! Trust me.

Tybo: I suppose he can be an interesting pawn in this entire game.

Smith: Yes.

Utoni: When do we meet our superior?

Smith: Who is he?

Dredd: you will find out soon enough.

*1 week later*

Carey: Good day, sir.

Dredd: Good morning.

Carey: What are they doing to your office?

Dredd: I'm being transferred. The Jax conspirancy will have to wait in Seattle.

Carey: I guess this is goodbye.

Dredd: Yes... I suppose it is. *puts out hand*

Carey: I don't shake hands*

Tybo: *walks up to Dredd* Who is this?

Carey: Assistant Director Jack Carey.

Tybo: I look forward to an interesting relationship together. *smokes cigarette*

Carey: Yes... me too. *walks down hallway, smiling, with bumps on his neck* *talks to himself* Too bad Hitchcock is dead... He died... i didn't... Wonderful... Colonization proves much easier than we originally though.

*sky*

*cool's voiceover: I never would have expected this. An old good friend... gone. Only one body was found. The salt tanks must have exploded. There are questions remaining. Who is there to answer them? I heard Dredd was moving. He may be the key to everything I need to know...
