Heavy Metal
Table of Contents


    Chapter 1.1: The Last Day, Part 1
    Walter Steele, our elderly protagonist, is introduced. He has a tense conversation with his wife, Betty, at breakfast.

    Chapter 1.2: The Last Day, Part 2
    Walt has a conversation with his junior partner, Dave, regarding the last phase of achieving their goal of being the first private organization to successfuly launch to outerspace and win the X-prize contest. Attaining jet fuel is all that lies in their way to victory and Dave has found an inside connection to get some cost effective fuel.


    Chapter 2.1: Indecent Proposal, Part 1
    While Betty recovers from her emotionally charged conversation with Walt that morning, her musings are interrupted by two strange CIA(?) agents who claim they are looking for Dave.

    Chapter 2.2: Indecent Proposal, Part 2
    Walt meets up with Dave at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. He's introduced to Brenda, Dave's ex-girlfriend who set him up with the inside link to fuel, and to the man they call 'the Bouncer', a gigantic musclebound brute. Dave has to explain how he gambled away the rest of the money that was meant to be spent on fuel and the Bouncer insists that now the only way for Walt to get his fuel is for them to steal some.


    Chapter 3.1: Through the Eye of a Needle, Part 1
    Walt agrees to take part in the fuel heist but insists on calling Betty and meeting the Bouncer's boss, 'Lucky' first. Apparently Lucky is the one who wishes the Bouncer to help Walt get into space.
    Meanwhile, Betty entertains her guests until Walt's phone call when she informs him of the agents. He tells her to get rid of them and she obliges.

    Chapter 3.2: Through the Eye of a Needle, Part 2
    Walt and Dave are taken to a private conversation with the boss, Lucky, who's demeanor is extremely strange and who answers their questions in little more than an enigmatic manner.
    Afterwards, Walt and Dave are left to ask the Bouncer what the plan for the fuel heist is.


    Chapter 4: Give me Fuel!
    The three of them carry out a fuel theft at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas. During the theft, the Bouncer not only reveals that he is a cold blooded killer, but also displays incredible powers, amazing feats of strength, apparent physical invulnerability, and an ability to rebound from impacts. He aids in their escape from the airport by killing security officers and tearing clear a path for their retreat through a chainlink fence.
    They drive off, oddly unhindered for most of the journey home to Walt's desert property, until they've nearly arrived when a cop car rolls up behind them attempting to pull them over.


    Chapter 5: Foresight, Part 1
    Thomas Forsythe is introduced, a scene which takes place a year before the current story events. A deeply religious man, Pastor Forsythe is approached by an Angel in the middle of the night. The Angel explains to him that his bloodline and faith have made him the recipient of a mission from God. The Angel offers to empower him such that he can face and defeat agents of darkness. He agrees to become God's weapon on Earth.

    Chapter 5: Foresight, Part 2
    Investigators ponder the crime scene in the wake of the fuel heist. The criminals have been incredibly lucky, as none of the close eye-witnesses survived to tell their tale and no camera footage was possible due to strange solar phenomena going on at the time that scrambled all the footage.
    As the investigators prepare to leave to do some further work to locate the thieves, their car is instead stolen by a man in Pastor's robes.
    Thomas Forsythe is revealed to have stolen the police car so he can give chase to his enemy who apparently was central in pulling off the fuel heist. It is also revealed that it is he who is pulling over Walt's truck. A battle brews.

    Chapter 5: Foresight, Part 3
    Thomas Forsythe goes to battle with the Bouncer, who he calls one of the 'Tainted'. Walt and Dave scurry out of the way as the two super-powered opponents tear the highway apart in their scuffle. It ends with the battle moving out into the desert and the Bouncer telling Walt and Dave to get home quick to complete their mission.


    Chapter 6: THEY
    On the way home, leaving the scene of the battle behind, Walt and Dave discuss their thoughts on what just took place, and Walt reveals his true motivations for wanting so badly to fly into space.


    Chapter 7: The Making of a Monster
    The rumble in the desert continues between Thomas and The Bouncer. Thomas leaves the brute unconscious, reminiscing about the Bouncer's genesis.


    Chapter 8: Are You Ready to Go?
    Walt prepares his ship, the 'Independent', for launch but is held up just before flight.


    Chapter 9: Gun
    The Bouncer's life review continues, reviewing the slaying of his father, his wild young years and his eventual imprisonment. He again makes another deal and finds himself rapidly enlisted into a backwater government program. We return to Thomas to figure out his next move after his flight into the desert.


    Chapter 10: Big Brother
    Federal Agents initially impede Walt's mission to offer him some extreme warnings regarding the maintaining of secrecy. Once sorted out, Walt FINALLY launches the Independent into space.


    Chapter 11: Indestructible
    We continue along the Bouncer's life review, witnessing the moment of his empowerment and the destruction left in his wake. Simultaneously, the officials attempting to deal with his unconscious body in modern day have more on their hands than they bargained for.


    Chapter 12: To the Moon
    Walt determines its do or die - time to recapture his dreams of his younger days and head to the Moon. We follow him in his travels there and are as equally shocked by his discoveries. While orbiting across the dark side of the Moon, he is held up by an alien vessel.


    Chapter 13: The Forsaken
    Continuing the journey in the Bouncer's past, we are introduced to a shady new crew of characters. While the Bouncer melees with them in his mind, General Sternheim encases his body in a high-tech goo-cocoon. Thomas returns to hunt down the Bouncer but runs across these new Forsaken characters in the process.


    Chapter 14: Man in the Moon
    Walt accompanies the Alien ship into the interior of the Moon where many wondrous sights await him. He is introduced to Michael, an Angel who serves 'the Lord' and is told God wishes to have a word with Walt.


    Chapter 15: Melee at the Medical Center
    Thomas battles the Forsaken as they invade the hospital in an attempt to steal the Bouncer off General Sternheim's hands.


    Chapter 16: The Big Questions
    Walt questions Michael, the Angel, on a wide variety of subjects including God and the afterlife. Michael takes Walt from the interior of the Moon to a portal to the Kingdom of God.


    Chapter 17: Glimpses of Destiny
    At a juncture in the battle with the Forsaken, Thomas is put in a compromising position with General Sternheim with a gun to the priest's head and his enemies closing in. Finding a way to resolve how to come out of the battle victorious requires the application of Thomas's Foresight power.

    Though he finds a way through to a means to save his and the General's lives, at the end of the battle, the SWAT team demands the surrender of all Forsaken captives, including the Bouncer and the Prospector.


    Chapter 18: The Kingdom of God
    Walt finds himself on Planet Nibiru, the 'Kingdom of God', which exists inside the confines of our own solar system but on an orbital path that takes it near to the sun only once every 3500 years. Apparently it is from here that the Annunaki 'Gods' that created humanity have come.

    His questions press Michael to a point of irritation where he reveals the demonic potential of any angel in a moment of anger. As a result, Princess Inanna, the Grand-Daughter of Enlil (God), is brought in to accompany Walt for the rest of the journey to the gates to the abode of God, a mountain in the distance. She gives some answers to Walt's questions that present the idea that there are still ongoing conflicts between the 'gods', particularly among two camps, that of Enlil (Jehovah), and Enki, his brother (Satan) and that she, herself, sits on a fence in her loyalties.


    Chapter 19: Red Shield Revealed
    While forced to relinquish their captives, General Sternheim befriends Thomas and they go on to have a conversation as they track, from the General's Helicopter, where the Bouncer is taken - to the Police Station. They discuss some background on the situation and come to the conclusion that a new member among the Red Shield, a Jewish council that pulls all global financial strings, has called in a political favor to keep his bodyguard, the Bouncer, at his disposal by having him taken into police custody. From custody, he'll be easily released back into the service of this Red Shield councilman and Sternheim and Thomas strategize to make sure this won't happen.


    Chapter 20: The Lord God
    Walt finally meets Enlil/Jehovah - the Lord God. They have a cryptic discussion.


    Chapter 21: A Heart for Gold
    Thomas is sent off to go hunt down Walt's truck while Sternheim goes to the Police Station to extract the Bouncer. While there, he witnesses the Prospector delivering his life story and explaining his connection to 'Billy' the ghost. At the end of the interrogation session, the Prospector makes a violent move to break free.


    Chapter 22: One
    Enlil attempts to show Walt deep insights into the workings of the Divine.


    Chapter 23: To Serve and Protect
    Sternheim races to take the Bouncer into his custody as the Prospector lays waste to the Las Vegas Police Department.


    Chapter 24: Divine Intervention
    Enlil shows Walt what his son, Ben, is going through, and uses this scene to explain to Walt how Divine Intervention works.
