Phantom of Mist/Origins Pt. 1

April 12th, 1885.I was in the boxing ring within London, England. Having myself a good fist fight against this one tough fellow. Who threw four good punches before watching the man fall over in defeat. While having some minor bruises from the fight. Who was about to claim a cash prize of 15 pounds. When a 43 year old police officer name Oscar Walker, standing at 5′7, short light brown hair and soft blue color eyes appeared and began asking around. Does anyone know where Leo Adams is? I heard the officer calling my name and approached him and spoke. Officer Oscar, what brings you to the west side of London? A sad expression suddenly formed on his face as he spoke. I regret to inform you Leo, that your father Detective Harry Adams. Has been....murdered. I couldn’t believe this when stumbling backwards towards the boxing ring. With the men here shock too. For my father was a well known man in Scotland Yard. Who was respected by many, but now dead. With me soon asking him while getting emotionally upset. What happen?! Officer Oscar explained. We’re not exactly sure Leo. But there are clear signs of poison involve. An we’re doing everything possible to find his killer.

Phantom of Mist/Origins Pt. 2

Understanding this tragic news I left with the officer and soon headed to my mother’s home. Where she burst into tears of sorrow in my arms. Knowing that my father and her husband was gone. For we soon held a funeral on a rainy afternoon. With me forming a pair of fists within the church. Praying that the law would catch whoever did this. Yet after three months Officer Oscar Walker delivered some terrible news to me. Listen Leo, we’ve tried our very best to find your fathers killer. But have sadly come up empty handed. Upset by this I asked. Why are you telling me this? That’s when he told me. Because we’re lacking in so much evidence. We have no choice but to shut down the investigation. I was heart broke by what he just said. With me now speaking. You can’t do this! Not to one of your own fellow officers. Feeling terrible he reply. I’m so sorry Leo. But this is completely out of my hands. Who soon walked away in sadness, with me feeling horrible as well. Knowing that my fathers killer was going to get away with this. Unless something was done. Feeling angry I secretly promise myself that day. I shall hunt down his killer and bring him or her to justice myself.

Phantom of Mist/Origins Pt. 3

About three years have gone by and had turn 24 years old a short time ago. Who’s been busy with training, reading and searching around for any new clues that could lead to my fathers killer. Who was currently walking through a dark alleyway, looking for a 43 year old man name Edward. Rumor to have been at the murder scene where my father lost his life. I was still looking around when my eyes spotted him at the other end, being forced into a carriage by these two thugs while calling out. No! Let me go! Concern by this I ran towards them while calling out. Stop! They ignored what I said as they quickly took off. With me still running over there and soon following them on foot for a short while. Until finding myself outside of this east side Brewery. Who spotted the carriage parked outside. With no idea what kind of trouble Edward got himself into. I tied this piece of cloth over my mouth before heading towards the back door. Who then took a peek inside, Where the two thugs stood with this stranger. Wearing a similar cloth over half his face while speaking. Hello Edward. I’ve been searching for you for a long time.

Phantom of Mist/Origins Pt. 4

Standing there in fear he spoke. Who are you? With me now sneaking inside while still listening and watching the conversation. Somebody who doesn’t want the truth to get out. Edward reply in confusion. I don’t know what your talking about. Who began drawing out a loaded pistol from his left pocket. With me quickly realizing that he was going to shoot him, unless I do something fast. The stranger began taking aim and was going to pull the trigger. When I quickly threw an empty bottle at his face. Causing the man to both miss and shoot one of his thugs within the right arm. Who heard both of them cry out in pain. While the other one turned around and spotted me. Who began approaching and spoke in anger. Come here you! With me quickly getting into a fist fight, who threw some hard punches at the man before he fell backwards onto the ground. With the arm stranger and wounded thug coming at me. I quickly fought them off and looked around. Who could clearly see that Edward was gone. Causing myself to look outside, where he was nowhere in sight. Upset by this I approached one of the beaten thugs and asked him. Who are you strangers and why did you want to murder Edward?! One of them looked at me and reply. The gears in a bigger machine. I didn’t understand what he was talking about. As I could hear what sound like fast approaching footsteps coming from the front door. Who could only be the police. They saw me flee the building just as two arm law men came in and looked down at the thugs. Who were quickly arrested and would be taken away. With me seeing this from a safe distance thinking. Although Edward had disappeared, I had still prevented a murder from occurring and saved a life. Who would one day find him and perhaps find out who took my father’s life.

Phantom of Mist/Girls and Fog’s

Two days had gone by as I’ve been busy stopping muggers and a few thieves while on the dark streets. With news of my heroic deeds spreading across London and many asking themselves. Who this this mask hero? With me starting to walk back home. After taking down yet another arm mugger. When I saw this strange fog floating a short distance ahead. Who then heard this woman’s scream come from up ahead. Concern by this I quickly ran over there. Who headed straight into the fog and was having trouble seeing anything. But could hear a lady crying out in fear. Somebody help me! Who follow the sound until running into this frighten 30 year old women who looked at me in her dress and gasp in shock. Who started backing away with me speaking. Don’t be scared. I’m not going to hurt you. She seem to find that hard to believe as another mask man began approaching her from behind while wielding a small knife in their left hand. I quickly saw this and shouted while moving fast towards her. Watch out! As I pushed her out of the way and fought the mask attacker. Beating the man with my fists before spotting these four lights approaching. With me turning towards the left and spoke. I’m truly sorry for that madam. But we’ve got to go.

Phantom of Mist/Lady Rescue

Although she was still scared and sitting there on the ground. The woman still agree as I helped her up and both began running. As the arm men behind us started firing their pistols. We kept running for a little bit until ducking around a right side corner for cover. Where she saw me draw out my own Beaumont-Adams Revolver Pistol from the right pocket and began firing at the thugs hiding within the unusual fog. Who could hear one of them screaming in pain. As they fled deep into the fog with the frighten women speaking. Please stop them! They’ve grabbed four other innocent women. Alarm by this she watch me run straight after them with pistol at hand. She watch me bravely run straight into the fog and disappeared. Who quickly heard them taking off with their carriage, along with the kidnapped women. I quickly knew they’ve sadly escape. With no idea where they were going. Until noticing the fog disappearing and what looked to be an oil trail on the ground. Having no idea what I’ve shot. I began following it to this one south-east warehouse. Where I looked inside and could see the kidnappers and their carriage. Which seem to be carrying a strange device. That was a circular copper orb with six slightly bend pipes sticking out of the top, including a patch up hole on the lower left side. Plus the kidnapped women standing close by. Who stepped into the building and spoke. You better tell me where the kidnap women are or face justice. Angry with what I’ve said. He faced me and spoke. Nobody threatens the Multi-Gear Gang! Who started attacking me with there knives and fists. With me dodging and punching back. The frighten ladies watch me knocking down the kidnappers and quickly saving them. Before hear horses approaching and only assume it was the police. Who looked at the machine and got a bold idea. Who walked towards it and began pulling levers. Until the thing began spraying fog out of it’s pipes. Which gave me enough cover to sneak out and escape. As a new day arrived and me smiling at the docks. While looking at the title I was given on the newspaper front page: Phantom of Mist.

Phantom of Mist/Evening Brawl

Things have been pretty quiet these last few nights. Who was just about to head home when visiting the evening docks. When I spotted what looked to be the Multi Gear Gang stealing this large crate. Loading it onto the back of a wagon. With me rushing over and spoke. “Hold it right there”. They all looked at me and one of them shout. It’s the Phantom of Mist! Who quickly pulled out there knives and Brass Knuckles. Who then started attacking me. With me fighting back as the tall one headed towards one of the other crates close by. Who soon somehow lifted the heavy object over his head and then threw it towards me. I quickly dodged as it quickly broke. Smash! Sending shatter wood pieces all over the place. Who got onto the wagon and took off in a hurry. With me trying to chase after him. But sadly got away with the stolen item. While getting this strange feeling that I’ve scene him somewhere before. For it wasn’t until the next day at the boxing ring. That I looked at this old newspaper photo of me, fighting against Benjamin Walker A.K.A The Anchor. Who hadn’t been scene in three years, after leaving onboard the ship HMS Ocean. Who knew this would be tough. For it wasn’t until the evening that I began searching for the gang in the South-West side. Where I found them breaking into what seem to be a Woodworker’s Shop. With Benjamin standing outside to keep lookout. Making it hard to catch them by surprise. As I accidentally spook a brown stray cat that cried out in fear. Meow.....! Causing Benjamin to spot me and speak. Well Phantom of Mist, it looks like your going to get crush by The Anchor.

Phantom of Mist/Heavy Brawl

Standing my ground I began fighting him with my fists. Who quickly dodge his first right punch. Which seem to hit the wall and yet didn’t cause him any pain. As he threw two more punches I dodge. Before throwing one of my own. Which rather then hurt him only seem to cause me pain instead. He smiled before grabbing hold of me, who lifted me up into the air and threw. Sending me crashing into some nearby garbage cans. Crash! As I laid there in pain as he went over to the workshop and shout inside. We better go! His fellow gang members heard this as they began fleeing the building while carrying a couple of tools, screws and small pieces of wood. With them escaping and me in rough shape. When slowly standing up and notice the damage brick wall, cause by The Anchor’s fist. Which was impossible to believe. As I quickly fled the scene. For it was two nights later that I found them. Now breaking into a Metallic Shop, where men worked on metal. I wasn’t sure what they were planning. But wasn’t planning to lose to Benjamin twice. Who rush over and spoke. Planning some late night shopping? The Anchor kicked down the front door with his left leg and then spoke. You chaps head in, while I deal with this bug. The men began rushing inside as I toss on a pair of brass knuckles and ready myself. As we got into our second fist fight. With me dodging and punching without any trouble. Who took some hard blows before falling backwards onto the ground. With me rushing inside, where I beat the others. Yet two of them slipped out the back door. With me grabbing one of them and spoke. What did you steal from the docks? The bruised up man looked at me in fear and reply. Gunpowder. Before passing out and me now asking myself while leaving. What were you men planning?

Phantom of Mist/Demon of the Night

It’s been three nights since the robberies and still wondering why the Multi-Gear Gang stole all those items, instead of any money. Who had just walked past a small tavern. When there was a loud gun shot. Bang! Who quickly ran behind the building and could see someone in the distance leap incredibly high up into the air and land on a nearby roof top. Who seem to be escaping with me trying to chase them from the ground for s short time. Until watching the shooter leap from roof to roof. Allowing them to get away. With me asking myself. Who was that? For it was the next day at the docks. I was currently looking at the newspapers front page title; Rooftop Shooter.

Who could see somebody on the nearby roof, wielding what looked to be a Martini Henry Rifle. Aiming it at none other then Edward. With me feeling shock before pulling out the revolver and fired. Bang! Which seem to miss, but spook the shooter enough to turn their attention towards me. Allowing Edward to start fleeing as the shooter began firing at me. I began dodging while returning fire at the mystery shooter. With one of my shots manage to hit his upper right leg, causing them to start falling off the rooftop. Who somehow safely landed on the ground on both feet. Which was very surprising. When seeing this man wearing a weird leather mask with two small horns. While having these strange spring-bouncing mechanical shoes. Made from both wood and metal. Who faced me and spoke. While you’ve manage to wound me Phantom. You won’t easily defeat Leaping D. Jack! Who fired his rifle at me as I dodge towards the left. Who then watch him leap over my head and began fleeing from here while bleeding. I quickly chase the mask shooter. Determine not to let him escape. He ran somewhat slow as he leaped over a moving carriage ahead of us. Safely landing on the other side. With me still following him. Until getting into a carriage further ahead and driven somewhere north by a Multi-Gear Gang Member. With me stopping and now thinking. What is going on?!

When I notice a young 25 year old blond lady dress in a maids outfit walking out the back door of someone’s home. Carrying a small bag in her right hand with this neutral expression on her face. I found this strange since and spoke to her. You there, I like a word with you. That’s when she quickly started running away, with me following her from close behind. Who ran a good distance before fleeing into a close by tavern. Before she spoke in fear. Somebody help! A thief is trying to hurt me. Which cause the men to grow angry at me. As six of these strong men began attacking with their fists. With me force to fight back, defeating them before going into the tavern and heading towards the back door.

For it wasn’t until the next night. Who was checking around the south side. When I spotted a maid with black hair, breaking into a person’s house. With me rushing over there and speaking. Alright miss. You better step away from that door and surrender. She ignored me and ran inside. With me quickly following the maid and saw her pulling out a knife. Who began attacking me with it. I dodge the first three strikes before grabbing her left arm and spoke. That’s quite enough. Only to quickly kick me below the belt. Causing me to release the maid and watch her back off. Before running out the front door with me chasing after her. Until she escaped by carriage, who needed to come up with a new plan. For it was the next night that I sighted one of them entering the home of 44 year old Mr. Harry, one of the riches men in London. Which made me grow worried when seeing the front curtains close. Who went to the back and peak through the window. Who could see Mr. Harry tied to his favorite chair, while his mouth was gagged. With the maids currently stealing everything they could grab. I quickly picked the lock and burst in. Facing them and spoke in a serious voice. Let him go! None of them did this as they pulled out their hidden knives and began attacking me. With me dodging and trying not to hit a lady. As I tripped one of them and knocked another into the other maid. Who soon grabbed a rope from one of the curtains and tied them up. Before setting Mr. Harry free and him asking. Who in devils name are you? I reply. Phantom of Mist. Mr. Harry was surprised as the maids suddenly became confuse and scared.

Phantom of Mist/Watching You

I was sleeping in bed, having a dream of me playing football with my father in the backyard of our home. Watching it happen rom close by and enjoying it. When I suddenly noticed this one suspicious man standing nearby. With short black hair, dark mustache and dress in fancy clothes. Who suddenly woke up and spoke. Who was that? As I later showed up at the docks and could see something wasn’t right. For many of the men were tired and didn’t seem to have a lot of sleep. With me approaching one of them and spoke. You look terrible. The man reply. No kidding. Barely any of us got any sleep last night. After having the same weird dream. Curious I asked. What dream? That’s when he told me. All of us saw this fancy man, watching from close by. Surprise by this, it was later that night when sleeping. I saw the same man again in my dream. Who quickly change forms and spoke to them in this curious angry voice. While also shouting. You there! Stay where you are! That’s when he suddenly ran with me quickly chasing after him through this nearby open door. Who quickly found myself in a long hallway with multiple doors. Who saw him duck into one of them and followed. Finding myself on a giant chessboard and saw him standing there while speaking. Hello Phantom of Mist. It’s nice to meet you. I faced him and spoke. Who are you and why were you in so many people’s dreams?! He smiled and spoke. Folks call me Dream Prince. As for why, that’s none of your business. Growing mad here I spoke. You better tell me or I’ll beat the answers out of you. Standing there Dream Prince quickly wave his hand and cause these weird guys dress like chess pieces appear and surround me. Who quickly shout. Get him! That’s when a major fist fight broke. With me beating the men up and started feeling the place shaking. With me unsure of what was going on. Until waking up and found myself back in my own bedroom. Who knew I won the fight, with the dangerous villain still loose as well.

Phantom of Mist/Floors of Pain

Searching for days, I’ve been asking folks around the streets of London. To see if any of them had scene or knew anyone that encountered the Queen of Lies. Knowing as long as she was roaming freely around. There was no telling what kind of trouble she could cause. Yet I wasn’t having any luck within the south side of London. Until running into this one 42 year old homeless man with long grey hair. Who told me. Oh yes, I’ve scene her. Surprise by this I asked him. Where did she go? He spoke. I saw her head into the Blue Spoon Hotel. The one where that fire broke out three days ago. Understanding this I gave him some money and spoke. “Buy yourself some bread”. He thanked me before heading off towards the hotel. That was only two blocks from here. Who reached there and headed inside with a mirror pulled out. Knowing what would happen if I looked directly into her eyes. Who couldn’t see anyone here within the main lobby. As I headed for the stairs, who already knew finding her will be hard. Since the hotel had fifth an fourth floor with multiple rooms. With the fifth floor being in the worst of shape from the fire damage. Who wonder why nobody was watching the front door as I searched for about thirty minutes here. When I heard one of the doors within the hallway here suddenly open.

Phantom of Mist/Forced Minds

Curious I took a peek and saw a man’s left hand wielding a pistol. Who quickly dodged as they fired three shots and missed. Who stood there thinking. Guess she fights dirty. Before hearing someone’s footsteps approaching. That’s when I ducked into the bedroom and stayed low. As they fired three more shots before looking and could see it was a constable. Who had clearly fallen victim to Queen of Lies mind-control powers. Who couldn’t shoot him but also had to stop him. Before he tries to kill me. So I fought the man and knocked him out cold. Before laying the officer on the bed and spoke. You rest now, while I deal with the bad lady. As I stepped out of this room and resume searching. Unsure of what else to expect. When two guys wielding meat cleavers rushed out and tried to chop me up. I easily fought them off before another man came out wielding a hammer an knife. Who got knocked down before shouting. Is this all you got?! That’s when six armed officers popped out and began firing. With me taking cover and watching them put many fresh holes into the wall above my head. Who whispered to myself. Sorry I asked. As they seem to run out of bullets with me now force to take them all on by myself. Who hate the idea of beating up a police officer. But also didn’t have a choice either. Who kept searching through this place, while still getting attacked by these innocent mind-control people. Until finally reaching the fourth floor. Where I kept checking rooms until reaching the last one. Where I kicked the door open and found nobody here. Just a note sitting on a wooden chair near the open window, who assume she used the fire escape to sneak away. While I was busy dealing with her scary surprise. Anger by this I was about to grab the note. When I was suddenly shot and fell.

Phantom of Mist/Blood Night

I sat there on the wooden floor, wounded by the bullet that shot me above my heart. With broken glass sitting near my feet and in bad shape. Who notice this and could only assume the shooter had to be somewhere outside, hiding on one of the nearby rooftops or fired from an open window. Yet didn’t know what kind of weapon they were using. That doesn’t any sound after firing. Either way I had to get myself out of here, fast. Who crawled towards the door and slammed it shut behind me. Before crawling towards one of the nearby rooms I searched and pulled myself up. Who then started heading down the hallway while getting the troubling feeling this wasn’t over. For it wasn’t until I reached the second floor. Where nine armed men ambushed me, one of who fired a shotgun. Dodging left my right arm was slightly wounded as I quickly fired back. Wounding the gunmen before smacking a chair into one of them. Knocking two of them back as I fought off the rest before escaping the building while bleeding pretty bad. Knowing if I didn’t get to safety soon and patch up these wounds. There was a good chance I might bleed to death. Who mad it two blocks away before running into this one man. Who looked at me in shock and spoke. Sir, are you alright?! I reply while falling right into a nearby wall on the right side, while in a ton of pain. Not....really. Concern here he spoke. I’m a doctor who can patch you up. It seem luck was truly shining down on me. As the male doctor helped me to his home where both he an his wife were kind enough to fix me up. After telling them I was the Phantom of Mist. Who allowed me to keep my mask on. While also resting in their place for the next four to seven days. I sat there within the guest bedroom and began reading the note left by the women. Who put me in this mess.

Dear Phantom of Mist

If your reading this, then I’m impress you made it this far. Though sadly your story has to end. For you’ve been causing us too much trouble. Thus this is my farewell to you sir.

Sign: Queen of Lies

Who put the note down and spoke to myself. “You may try, but I won’t die”.

Phantom of Mist/Lady in Red

London/England, 1885.It’s been days since I was injured, when tracking down the female villain Queen of Lies. Who according to the newspapers paid a visit to the prison and used her powers to free everyone within the Multi-Gear Gang, along with The Anchor an many other prisoners as well. Putting the city of London, England in panic. With police doing everything they can to find these men and put them back behind bars. I laid there in bed as 37 year old Mrs. Evans checked on my wounds and spoke. Who had beautiful brown hair, brown color eyes and had a warming smile who spoke. Hm....it seems you’ve fully recovered and should be in good shape now. Though I suggest you be more careful. I reply. A wise idea indeed. Who got up and spoke. Tell your husband I’ll have his money soon. I just need to handle one bit of business first. She somehow believed this. As I hurried off into the night, searching desperately for the evil women. Knowing if she wasn’t captured soon. There was no telling what other sorts of trouble she could cause. So I shook down a few crooks and learned she was hiding at a bar. Where some sort of arms deal was going on. Understanding this I hurried over there and found her. Speaking to these four armed men with a few members of the Multi-Gear Gang with her. Who wasn’t sure what she was planning with those guns. But knew it couldn’t be good as I got closer and began to fire my pistol. Wounding two of the dealers before she spotted me and shouted with a surprise expression. Phantom of Mist?! Who quickly wounded two others while taking cover. As they kept firing away with folks within the bar running away in fear. Who got closer after reloading and wounded the last few men before pulling out a mirror. That the Queen of Lies fell for while shouting. Oh no! As she fell for my trick and found herself within a hypnotic state. Making this the perfect moment to get some answers.
