Chapter One: The Beginning
It all started with a lack of acceptance. Humans refused to accept mutants, and some mutants refused to be peaceful with humans. Each side considered the other the enemy. Eventually, lines were drawn and war broke out. Mutants dominated at first. Human armies were wiped out left and right. Then the Sentinels came. Enormous, metallic death machines designed to wipe out the “mutant menace”.
A group of mutants led by Magneto managed to capture a couple Sentinels. They figured out how they worked. Eventually, they rewired them. After some time, both sides had Sentinels. The war raged on for two years. Neither side could even remember what they were fighting for any longer. They just wanted to wipe each other out.
The Earth slowly disintegrated. Everything natural fell to fighting and fire. The once beautiful Earth became a wasteland. The humans and mutants that had stayed out of the fight were the ones to pay. We lost everything because of the war. That is how The Hooligans were formed.
The five of us banded together after losing everything. Our families had been taken from us by the chaos. We were left with nothing but anger at both sides. With the war going
on, all we had to do was train. Train to be better than both sides. Train so that we would be able to defend what was left of the world.
Sure, there were other groups out there defending the Earth. The X‐Men come to mind. We didn’t like the way they worked. They tried to avoid killing as much as possible. We found this to be a problem, because the people they couldn’t kill kept coming back. The bloodshed was never stopped, just delayed. The Hooligans were ruthless. We defended our lives by taking the lives of our aggressors.
All of our training paid off. We became proficient with guns, some of us more than others. Our mutant abilities were firmly under our control. Our bodies had become deadly weapons. We weren’t the most powerful of mutants. But we knew each other inside and out. Our team work outmatched pure power. We were a finely oiled machine.
Where did we get the name The Hooligans? The media gave it to us. Or, what’s left of the media. The name appeared in the paper the day after a battle between our group and two mutants on a power trip. We decided we liked the name and stuck with it.
Who is this “we” I keep speaking of? Well, like I said, there’re five of us.
Stacey Gunn: Hooligan Alpha
Caucasian
5’9”
Blonde hair
Green eyes
Lithe build A 19 year‐old mutant with supernatural aim. When Stacey sets her sights on a target, it was sure to be hit. She could shoot in the opposite direction of her target and it would still be hit somehow. Along with the perfect aim, Stacey’s natural abilities are enhanced to a superhuman level. She was the one who suggested we start our little vigilante group, so we consider her our leader. She always has two handguns on her waist. She calls them June and July. She’s a naturally optimistic person, and never gives up on the thought of restoring Earth to it’s past.
Blake Beckham: Hooligan Gamma
Caucasian
6’3”
Brown Hair
Light blue eyes (blinded)
Muscular build
A 20 year‐old mutant with telepathic abilities. When he was 17, a fight
near his house caused a Sentinel to crash through his building. His
parents were crushed and a minor explosion took his eyesight. Ever
since then he has worn a blindfold to cover his scars. His blindness
allowed him to develop an ability he calls telepathic radar. He sends out
a telepathic wave which picks up information of his surroundings from
any living thing nearby. Because of his blindness, he doesn’t use
firearms, but he has become proficient at hand‐to‐hand combat. Blake
is often referred to as Seer by the other Hooligans. Despite his
intimidating frame, Blake is a very kind‐hearted, caring person.
Mary King: Hooligan Beta
African‐American
5’ 6”
Black hair
Brown eyes
Lithe build
A 17 year‐old mutant with the powers of invisibility and intangibility. Mary
lost two parents and a brother to a fire fight that broke out on her own
street. Her intangibility kicked in reflexively, leaving her unharmed. Her
innocence left her the minute she saw her family’s corpses riddled with
bullets. She is often called Bloody Mary by the rest of the Hooligans because
she has the highest kill count. She uses her powers as the Hooligans’ assassin
of sorts. If there is someone that needs to be killed quickly and quietly, Mary
gets the job done. The only drawback she has is that she can’t become both
invisible and intangible at once. She carries a gun on her thigh and a sword
on her back. She is a nice girl, despite her deadliness.
Cade McKinney: Hooligan Delta
Caucasian
6’2”
Blonde hair
Blue eyes
Muscular build
A 21 year‐old mutant with superhuman strength, endurance, and the
ability to create and manipulate force fields. Cade was raised an
orphan. When he was still a baby a mutant raid on his hometown
caused him to be left behind while his parents and sisters fled. He was
raised by a human woman who happened to find him. She was
executed by mutants in front of Cade. He is all the All‐American jock in
looks, and a total hero in actions. Cade is gentle and loving, but can
sometimes lose his cool.
Sam Hutches (your narrator): Hooligan Sigma
Caucasian
Light brown hair
Green eyes
Lithe, muscular build
A 19 year old mutant with complete control over the
energy his own body produces. The energy is produced by
friction or a collision. Once it is produced, he can do
anything with it. His trademark of sorts is shaping the
energy into different things, throwing it, and causing it to
explode. He often shapes it into birds. Sam’s family was
slowly taken away by both sides. Humans killed his
mutant mother and brother. Mutants killed his human
father and sister. However, Sam has remained a
completely kind person, always putting others before him.
He doesn’t fight for revenge. He fights because he knows
it is the only way to restore peace.
Strange things were beginning to happen in the war. The fighting was dying down for the first time in two years, and there were rumors that Magneto, one of the most powerful on the mutant side, and Agent Richter and his M.E.U., the most powerful squad on the human side, were reaching some sort of agreement.
The words merciless and evil come to mind when Agent Richter is mentioned. We’re ruthless only when we fight, and we fight for something. Richter is ruthless all day every day. He fights for power and to exterminate the “mutant menace” that he has hated since childhood. None of the Hooligans have ever fought Richter or his Mutant Extermination Unit except for Cade. When he was 19 he resisted capture by the M.E.U. and it resulted in a battle that knocked down an entire block of buildings and left Cade with a nasty scar down his back.
Magneto wasn’t exactly a nice guy either. Which is why we were worried about this possible team up. If they’re working together it’ll only be for something like world domination. Fighting both sides at once was hard enough. Fighting their forces combined, that could pose a problem.
