El Paso, Texas
“A small blue bug shaped unidentified flying object has been flying through the U.S, soaring so fast it creates sonic booms throughout cities, leaving massive damage in it's wake. It was first seen in Hub city, and is traveling south towards Texas. And Now, sports.”
Jaime Reyes picks up the remote, and quickly switches the television off. He then stands up from his couch, and walks over to his kitchen. He opens his pantry only to find granola bars and ramen noodles. He takes a pack of noodles, flipping the orange bag to inspect the cooking directions.
J: “Alright, two cups of water-”
Jaime hears huge “crash” and runs as fast as he can to the door, to find a gaping hole and a blue object on the floor. It quickly extends six “legs” and starts to crawl all over his living room. Jaime runs out the door scared for his life. He sprints across the road, and into an alley. The object makes it's way to where Jaime is, and latches itself onto his back, plunging it's sharp legs into his skin, and tearing his shirt. Two men looking for the object run into the alley, and point their weapons at Jaime.
Man: “Lower your guns, Boys.”
A man wearing purple and black armor steps out of the darkness, and in front of the two men.
Man: “Listen kid, we've been following that thing for a long time. My boss has found that it went missing from where he was keeping it. So please get it off of you, and we won't Kill you.”
But Jaime can't speak. He's in shock. The scarab is extending almost organic metal across Jaime's body. After forming on his body and hardening, wings sprout from the scarab, as well as a helmet, covering Jaime's face. The only way he can see are two transparent yellow eyes, until an HUD appears inside of his mask. One problem however, he can't control his body. The suit flies at the first thug, grabs his shoulders, and thrusts him through a nearby wall. He then punches the second one in the gut, sending him flying through the air, and into a metal fence. The leader begins to fly in the air, and precedes to pull the fence out of the ground using his magnetic abilities. He then warps the fence and wraps it around Jaime.
Suit: “The reach will conquer!”
Jaime: “What?”
Suit: ‘You are a host, doomed to be the instrument of your world's dea-”
The man slams Jaime into the ground with a light post.
Jaime: “That seemed to have shut it up.”
Realizing the suit has no control over him, Jaime regains control of his body. He flies up to the man, grabs his leg, spins around multiple times, and throws him as hard as he can into the sky, and watches the man disappear. He then feels a sudden impulse to travel to Hub City, and begins his journey.
