Moving around the halls and offices of MI5 headquarters was the easy part. As long as I could avoid the guards, my vengeance would become complete.
Back against the wall, I peered around a corner. The coast was clear. Nobody had been alerted to my presence as yet. My luck however, could change at any moment between here and the top room. In the dead of night, I crept silently along the dimmed passageways with their plush carpets and art decorated walls.
Noticing another of those small CCTV cameras at the far end of the corridor, I reached out my hand and sent an electric pulse wave into its circuitry. I concentrated on freezing its vision to a frame from five minutes ago, hoping it didn’t hold a night guard in stasis upon a screen somewhere downstairs. I entered a high level elevator and began to ascend using my power.
This’ll show ‘em

, I thought. This’ll teach them to steal my work.

I had completed my research on the production of electricity without the use of nuclear power, wind farms or natural resource fuels. I had managed to harness the power of the Earth itself.
Just as Nicola Tessla had done before me, I had produced electricity using the planet’s own gravitational spin. Combining this with tectonic plate movement and enhanced with clever uses of magnetic fields; I had found success. But, just like Tessla, my blueprints and plans had been taken by governmental powers. The reasons were all too obvious.
They left me to die, jolting upon one of my open electronic panels and then torched my lab as they left. Yet, somehow I had survived! Not just that; but I had been… enhanced!

My body was badly burned, but I could no longer feel the pain. I had a power flowing though me and in an instant of clear thought; I had decided the nature of my revenge.
As the light from the elevator flooded into the relative darkness, it illumed a well-built guard who turned with a puzzled look on his face and reached for his radio. I let fly with an instant bolt of energy from my outstretched hand and he was sent flying across the room in a blaze of white lightening. Darkness returned as his cry of pain became silent.
I had reached the controls to the most powerful computer in Britain, with more access to the world’s data-bases than any other terminal in the country. Controls however, were not necessary as I simply placed my hands upon the sleek desk-like surface and began to emit power from my own being. An imeasurable energy surge that would destroy this digital age, using the planet and this computer as a conduit.
I could feel

the world’s banks collapse; the internet crash; planes and satellites fall from the sky as I sent more power through the world’s systems. The implications were immense. All microchips around the globe overloaded as I struggled to stay upright amidst a halo of white energy. All data was destroyed as I sent out a huge EMP wave to engulf the world. I could see the city outside turn black and knew this was echoed upon a global scale. Every single file that ever existed – anywhere - had been wiped away. Big Brother was no more.
Now that I had sent the world into the dark ages once again, everyone within it would start on an equal footing with no element of control. If the world wanted power, then they would have to come and beg at my door. I am weak now, but soon, I will be capable of replenishing my internal energy. Soon, the world will belong to me!
Mwah ha ha ha ha!
