Lazarus Project: The Rising
Imagine dying, and then being forced back to life... every day.
Over the past ten years, eighteen year-old Pheonix "Nyx" Jones has had to watch, as his collegues, have died or nearly died, at the hands of the Lazarus Institute and
Resurrection Saints (a.k.a. L.I.A.R.S.), just to be forced to live again. They dub their project "The Lazarus Project." The L.I.A.R.S. Iinstitute claims that their
research is conducted to help people in need (especially government officials who have a price on their heads). Although Nyx has not yet had the "honor" to experience a resurrection, he still has to attend daily "treatments" where the
institute doctors inject him with a serum that immediately stop his heart, then quickly inject the Lazarus antidote that the institute is famous for, bringing him back. It's a
painful but exhillerating process, but Nyx is warned by his field-hardened collegues, that dying in the field and then being brought back, can seriously change a person...
in a dangerous way. Sure enough, when a field mission takes an unexpected turn, Nyx experiences his first field death... and his first resurrection. It's then, that Nyx
begins to understand that perhaps, the Lazarus Children Project was created for ulterior, motives.
Nyx and his collegues race against time and death, to expose the project for what it is, to the unknowing citizens. But little do they know, that although they are immortal,
there is someone watching them, waiting to put an end to their lives... for good.
*NOTES* Fledglings- young Lazarus agents, who have yet to experience a resurrection. Lazarus Agents- fully fledged agents, who have had experience in the field.
Each agent has his/her own signature ability, besides being brought back to life.
I will try to update every other week. I have college classes that keep me pretty occupied.
