Justice Blade 2016: Chapter 1...the Final Chapter.

The year is 2016, and mankind has fallen.

How? No one remembers.  The truth has been lost to the mists of last year.  All that's left is chaos and lawlessness.  Warlords rule over this fractured land; brutalizing their subjects and stealing their wi-fi, and using it to troll online forums anonymously.

I'm the only one who can stop them, and soon they'll face my flying sawblade...my Justice Blade.

I step on the central feet clamps, once again marveling at the technology that allows the blade to spin while I face forward.  This was humanity's greatest achievement, before the fall.  It's the only one of it's kind.  I can only hope I carry on the legacy of its creator Dr. Scienceman.

The blade rises in the air, and I launch off into the night sky.  Along the way I chop down the overgrown grass in ditches of the old, unused highway.  I know this will help local farmers prepare for winter.  For good measure I knock down several telephone poles, just because.

I approach the castle of General Villain, crashing through the window.

"Justice Blade," says General Villain, "to what do I owe the pleasure?"

"You killed my partner," I say, because he killed my partner.

"That was last week man," Villain says.  "You're still all bent out of shape over it?"

I really wasn't.  My partner was kind of a jerk, and always made fun of my whistle collection.

"I'll never forgive you."

I probably would have, for some cash. Until then, I'm outraged.

"You'll pay for your crimes," I say.

"Fine," Villain says.  "Would you accept prepaid gift cards?"

I would.

And as I fly away into the night, sorting through the cards, I can't help but think that justice has been served; and that I could totally make it to Taco John's before they close...get me a chalupa.

I. Am. Justice Blade...and I am hungry...for justice...and chalupas.
