John is now 26 years old. 15 years have passed since his first go at being a member of Warden. Now, he's a fully fledged member. Not just any member, more like a right-hand man of the boss. John has proved his loyalty by completing many tasks, dangerous or not he would still complete them. He is loved by all criminals and has even set up his own small gang outside of Warden. He is known world-wide for being a vivid killer and a severe problem in the eyes of the law.
John had done many consequential things in the past but his latest feats have been the most successful in toppling the government. He took down many banks across the world. He took down many famous companies that the government relied on. And even murdered important figures of the world.
He is a world-class criminal and a $1,000,000 bounty on his head doesn't even faze him. He is so caught up in his shenanigans that he doesn't care what happens to him. He is the smartest criminal people have ever even heard of. His plans are always fail-proof, though even if the FBI were to catch up to his before he could execute his plan, there was always a way for him to escape.
"Today is the day! March 17, 2069. Titanos Bank has finally been opened and perfected to which not even the slimiest critters can slip in. The government has made this bank IMPOSSIBLE to break into, and when I say impossible, it is. The laser technology, the tungsten vault, and the robot security defense. This may be the best bank in the whole world. Now that is what you call impossible. And to all those criminals out there, just try to do it. You wil-" John turned off the news.
John was sitting on the sofa, laying down. The expression on his face told everyone that he was bored. Since all the banks were closed due to a pandemic, he couldn't do anything. They made the banks extra tight with security and transferred all the city money into Titanos Bank.
Though John was a very bad person, he liked to write stories. He had a wild imagination, and wrote them into books. He even had published some works of his as child bedtime stories. But don't worry, he had a secret publisher at hand. John would go under the name of David Jill. A lot of children loved his books and wished to meet him, but he couldn't be shown in public, so there would always be a substitute in his place. He wanted to keep writing, he wanted to show his works of art to the world. But knowing that he was a world-class criminal, he couldn't do any of that.
He has been running around as a bad guy for almost 3 decades. He hasn't really had any fun after 5 years of joining Warden. All he would do was robbing banks, killing people, and making a run for it. He did that on repeat for 15 years. He was getting sick and tired of all the villain stuff. He just want to have some fun and do nice things for once. But before he ends his career here, he chooses to do one last heist.
He called in his goons and proposed an idea.
"Alright gang. The plan is simple..." Everyone was nodding their heads like they were understanding what he was saying.
"Oh come on, don't make it obvious you aren't interested."
"Sorry, boss."
"Ok... Now, the plan is to infiltr-" Right as John was about to finish.
"Boss, if you say infiltrate the Titanos Bank, I will strangle you." said a woman.
"Um... Infiltrate the T-titanos bank?" John finished his sentence as he shrugged.
"I swear boss. I am not going to help you in this mission. You're going on your own."
"C'mon. At least once. I'm so bored."
"I'm sorry boss, but you're going to get yourself killed. You're a very important person."
"To you guys I am. To others... eh."
"Boss..."
John slapped the table as hard as he could, snapping it in half. Everyone got scared as he knew he was serious.
"I am going to Titanos bank, with or without you guys."
John stormed off...
"Anyone want to go after him..?" Everyone else nodded no.

A few hours later
~~~~~~~~~~~~
John has just finished packing all of the supplies he would need to infiltrate the bank. He doesn't know what will be inside so he brought whatever would be perfect for the job. Most of his tools are laser manufactured saws that can cut through almost any metal. What John needed to pass was the laser mine field and the robot security guards. Robots are of course different from humans and their strength surpass his so he would need to be extra careful. The bank was close to the facility; he could drill a tunnel into the banks vault, but that would take a few more days of preparation.
John thought of a way to enter the bank. This is going to be one hard choice because sine the bank is heavily guarded, there would only be one way in. He wanted to go out with a 'bang' so he decided that the best way to do it, is to full send it. He might as well get caught on purpose and say that his life was fun while it lasted. He didn't want to do it at first, but thinking about it a little longer, he really wanted to do it.
Walking through the crowded streets, he finally made it to the back alley of the bank. 'Though the bank may have high-tech advancements, they should learn when to get rid of back entrances' he thought.
"Time to get it done" John said. He pulled out his backpack and inside of the bag was a bulletproof vest and a pistol. He didn't want to go to crazy so why not just go with a pistol especially since he is so good at shooting, that was all he needed. He put the vest on, holstered his gun and grabbed the door knob. As soon as he did, he heard a click. He opened the door as fast as he could, but nothing was there?
John was confounded. He didn't know what that 'tick' was, though it reminded him of something. As John entered the building the door closed right behind him. He got worried, so he rushed back to the door and tried to open it. The door didn't budge. He is now trapped inside a corridor with nothing but darkness.
Not knowing where he was, John grabbed a flashlight that was inside his backpack and pointed it directly into the corridor. The light didn't bounce back for hit a wall. To John it looked as if there was not an ending to the hallway. He turned off his flashlight so he could save the power usage and put it away. 'Looks like I'll be stuck in here forever.' John thought. John didn't think twice before entering the building, not realizing it could be a trap. For f*** sake he was the smartest criminal in the world. For someone to be fooled like that, they would have to be really stupid. John didn't like that feeling. Being bested by the government? No. That got John really angry.
"I can't go out like this. I need to escape quick" said John as he was ramming his body into the door. The door still wouldn't budge. As his last resort, he kicks down the door as hard as he could. He expected it would work, but it didn't. The door was as hard as steel and it barely left a dent.
"Maybe..." John thought of something quick and shot the door with his pistol. 'Hah. This maybe be steel, but the bullets from these guns can penetrate anything!'. John shot the lock of the door with his gun, and as expected the door was loose. John had quickly ran out, but when he did, there it was again. The tick sound. It was so vague that John could easily know what it is...
'A Bomb?!'
John dove down onto the cement, but it was too late. The door seemed to be an activator and when he shot it, the timer seemed to decrease causing the bomb to explode earlier than expected. John still was hit by the explosion and was blasted back far into a wall. Shards of metal started flying towards him but since he was paralyzed from the blast, John could jus sit there and take it. Multiple shards pierced his arms, stomach, and even his heart. He could hear the screams of terror as the streets full of citizens suddenly went quiet and barren.
The police have suddenly cornered him and pointed guns at him. John realizing that all of this is over, grabbed a grenade from his backpack. He unplugged the pin and threw it at a SWAT team. Most of them got out of the way but an unsuspecting officer got in the blast and was killed in an instant.
'Heh... Looks like I'm finally dead. My streak has ended with one. last. kill.'
'You know, I just want to come back to life. I want to be good this time. I never knew the benefits of being a good guy. I want to feel the pleasure, the sincere goodness of what it feels like to be liked by the people around you.'
'Hah... All I ever had were my goons who followed whatever order I gave them. They didn't like me. They were scared of me. At least I gave it my all, and they respected me, not for personality or whatever. More like, the sheer terror of what I'm capable of. Now, I'm dead. They'll just take over my spot and have fun for once.'
'Now I can rest in complete silence as the world starts to crumble, piece by piece...'
Well that's what John thought at first...

John woke up once more, but this time, he wasn't in his body. He felt like he was flying, or floating in this matter, in what looks to be an empty void.
"What the-. Didn't I die a few seconds ago? Or was it a few minutes ago?" John was trying to figure what was going on, until a blue flash appeared right before him. It was not a bright light, it was more like a... White board?
