Description

Jaxon, who is considered to be a prodigy amongst his peers in the scientific world, deals with the loss of his son after a paramilitary group wages war on world governments and anyone that supports them. Due to his son being killed, Jaxon turns into a different man. He hates, and all he can think of is a way to repay the world for the hate it caused him - the love it stole from him. Instead of using his wealth to become just another killer, he constructs a plan to change the entire system of judge, jury, and executioner. When the world finds out what he has done, will they judge him as a revolutionary or a mad scientist?

Acknowledgment
Thank you to my family and friends for supporting me in everything. Also, I want to thank my middle school teachers and mentors from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
A special thank you to Ms. Normal, Ms. Graham, Ms. Kridler, and Mr. Bee for without your guidance, none of this would have been possible. I’m forever grateful for all that you have taught and instilled in me.
Preamble
While trying to comprehend and deal with the tragic death of his only son, a scientist becomes livid and frustrated with the world and its many hypocrisies. Instead of waging a war against all of humanity (which he faults for his son’s death), he uses his knowledge, wealth, and power to reshape the world, by whatever means necessary. Believing that the current justice system of judge, jury, and executioner is antiquated and inadequate, the scientist is determined to bring about a new system – a new judge, a new jury, a new executioner – by bridging the gap between science and science-fiction. The question that remains is: Will history label him as a revolutionary or a mad scientist? Once you’ve read his story, ask yourself if his actions and the actions taken are justified.
“I am the punishment of God…If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.”
– Genghis Khan
Chapter One What If…?

“I’m Eric Johnson – and if you’re just now joining us, five civilians and seven police officers are confirmed dead. Early this morning, around 8 A.M., a group of between 10 and 15 unknown assailants began shooting at and attacking police officers, two blocks away from the Third District Police Station. Their targets seem to be police officers only, seeing as other civilians are being allowed to escape. The five civilians who were killed must have gotten caught in the crossfire when the shooting broke out. From our post here in the helicopter, we can see more police reinforcements arriving at the scene. It is an all-out war between police and these heavily armored combatants, who seem to be heading directly toward the District Station itself. Bullets are flying in all directions, which is why we’re asked not to hover too low. The damage done to cars and property is unbelievable. If you’re anywhere near the area of Fourth and Locust, please stay far away! Back at the station, we’re getting reports that officers believe these assailants to be ex-special forces – or at the very least, ex-police officers, based on their tactics, movements, and array of firepower precision, and because of that, it’s difficult for officers or even SWAT to do any damage to these guys. Wait, wait a minute. The assailants are now splitting into smaller groups of two and spreading out. Wait – one of the groups has made it into the police station.” A loud “boom” was heard; the windows of the building shattered. A giant fireball and a pillar of black smoke engulfed the entire building seconds later .
“Oh, my, oh my God! This is unbelievable. The Third District Police Station has exploded! I repeat, the entire building of the Third District Station has exploded! This is horrible! It’s not clear if the suspect went in the station with explosives or if the gunfire triggered something – oh my God!” The broadcaster yelled in disbelief as several of the other suspects within the two blocks started to explode themselves .
“The entire two blocks range that was previously engulfed in gun-fighting has exploded! It appears that the suspects were wearing some kind of bomb vests. Everyone within this area – police, suspects, and any lingering civilians – are either dead or critically hurt. Nothing is moving down there. This is unbelievable. I’m sorry, I can’t…I can’t do this. I’m going to have to send it back to you guys at the station…”
The two anchors back in the newsroom were so shocked and bewildered from what they just witnessed and heard, that they literally couldn’t speak. They sat there staring into the camera – frozen, unsure of what to say. The clip of the explosions started to replay on the screen, cutting away from the frozen newscasters. After a few moments, the cameras turned back to them.
In a broken, frightened tone, the female anchor spoke, " We’re in complete shock – just as you, our viewers, certainly are." As she spoke, her voice slowly regained a normal cadence.
“But we’ve just received a manuscript via email from the group who’s taking credit for the attack occurring just a short time ago. They call themselves the Red Warriors, and here are the notes of what they had to say: ‘The era of the people being controlled by the government is over! They steal our money, poison us with their foods, enslave us, tell us how and what to eat, work, and where to live. But not anymore! We are the Red Warriors, but you all may call us the Reds, and we do not accept or recognize any authority of any kind. No country, government, people, mother, or child is safe from us. Anyone who supports the people that created this system is just as guilty and accountable for the current circumstances that have caused this fucked up thing we call society. This is only the beginning…’”
Over the course of the next several years, an increasing number of attacks on different government agencies occurred across the globe – with incidents reported from Africa to Europe, and the “Reds” taking the credit for each and every one.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin, July 2030.
The TV was turned to the local news channel – on the broadcast, an anchor was reading their story notes as a clip of several bombs exploding displayed on the screen. Carter, who was in the kitchen picking up more beers for his outdoor cookout, overheard the news and stood dumbfounded. Listening to any more of the news would only infuriate him more. He mumbled to himself as he walked out of the house. He tried to ignore the news story and not let it affect his day, but it did.
As the day continued, Carter’s one beer turned into eight. His mind flashed back to the news broadcast from earlier. Glancing across the hot dogs, pork, and beer-covered table to his co-worker and colleague, St. Patrick, Carter smiled slightly before speaking.
“I just got a crazy idea.”
St. Patrick sighed, “Here we go. Okay, let me hear what you have to say, Dr. Jaxon Alexander Carter.
