A Train to catch

Alexander groaned as the two king raven pilots is flirting on the job.

Anthony beside him just humming as he manned the chaingun on the sides.

Baird and Cole is just checking their weapons, across the helicopter Alexander is riding on.

Baird noticed him and gave him the finger.

Alexander simply touched his head and gestured that all of Baird hair will disappear.

The pilot spoke as the city closed in the distance as they flow at the level of the rooftops to not get detected.

Several flesh like projectile flew by.

Alexander felt the helicopter that he is on tremble violently and looked back at the rear and flames began to erupt from the tail helicopter.

Alexander grumbled as he manned the remaining chaingun and shoot down the homing nemocyst that would ended them.

"Major why is that you always give me bad luck!" Baird yelled as he shot the unending hordes of flesh homing missiles

"Life's more fun that way!"

As the King raven held Alexander and the rest of Delta squad.

Marcus was shocked that he fell below.

There was a message receive from Anthony.

"Time to save Major huh?" Carlos smiled as he raised his gun.

"And Anthony too." Dominic added.

"Whoo! Things about to get smoky!"

"Alright, there is a courtyard up ahead and time to clear it out!" Marcus pointed to a courtyard that is filled with locust.

(Alexander side)

Alexander coughing as he survey the surrounding.

The pilot is barely breathing and several of the soldiers is incapacitated.

Alexander pulled them out of the wreckage and check the crew.

He tried contacting command and found that the crash had rattled his radio, and he could only communicate within visual distance.

"Ma... Did anyone got that number on that bacon that rammed mah head?" Anthony spoke as his head was rattled by the crash.

Alexander shook Anthony helmet off and he got his bearings.

"Major? What happened?"

"Is your radio working?"

Anthony checked his helmet.

"Yes,Major"

"Contact Marcus and tell him that I am delegating my command to him as my radio is broken. I will tend to the wounded. Contact me on the rest of the team update." He headed back inside and grabbed a medkit that is about to be consumed by the flames and wrapped bandages around the wounded crew.

Alexander plopped a second radio to secretly contacted the Imperial guards that held a garrison nearby.

"*This is High Lord Alexander... Is east barricade garrison operational?*"

<*Yes, High Lord, the Foul Abomination crashed upon us with a unending tide for the past few weeks, we are yours to command sir.*>

"*No, Send only your best squads to my location. And don't let the natives know my identity upon contact, claim that you came from the imperial church that witness our Crash landing*"

<*Understood, High Lord, The Emperor Protects!*>

"*The emperor protects, trooper. High Lord out.*"

He placed the radio to the building nearby and waited for them to arrive.

Anthony upon finishing his report.

Noticed Alexander took charge of guarding the injured.

"Do you think that help would come?"

Alexander patted Anthony shoulder.

"Have faith, Anthony... Have faith. I sure that Marcus would never abandon us."

A group of scavengers arrived at their location. Hoping to find some pickings.

Anthony in a panic raised his gun towards them

"Major, your orders? "

"Calm down. We don't shoot civilians." Alexander held down Anthony rifle and met with the group.

"You the leader of this group?" The head of the scavenger spoke.

"If you are looking for a supplies, there's nothing but a few boxes of burnt bullets and this medkit that I am holding.

Here's a deal, I give you this medkit that I know you need it the most, and you pretend that we are not here, the locust is converging on my location... Make your choice."

One of them spat. Raising a gun at Alexander.

"I don't believe in that bullshit! We should kill them and take all their supplies! "

Alexander looked at the inciter with looks of pity... As if he was looking at a bug.

Bullets whizzed by, behind them, giving the scavengers a scare.

The leader looked at Alexander and held out his hand for the medkit.

Alexander tossed it to him and pointed them a direction.

"There is a garrison of the imperial church a few block down and tell them that Alexander Tyrus sent you. They will protect you until the locust are eradicated."

The man nodded gratefully and left for some form of security, but Alexander marked the inciter for death...

They saw a hammer of dawn in the near vicinity and a roar of a bezerker being vaporize.

As they waited, Delta Team arrived and Baird and Cole was the first.

"Hey there, sleeping beauty, how's your nap in the dirt." Baird sarcastically spoke.

"Dirt baths are good for the body, you know that Baird? Birds use it to clean parasites from their bodies."

"Okay, Smartass, we take it from here."

"Take care, Cole, Baird, may the hair gods be with you ."

"Screw you."

Alexander approach Marcus.

"I take it that you done well?"

"Fair enough."

"Time to finish the mission." Alexander clicked his gun as he and Anthony joined the fight.

As they inched towards Marcus old home, the resistance from the locust intensified.

Grub holes erupted around them. As if they didn't want them to find what's inside

As they reached the entrance, Marcus found his home is a heavy fortification, they had troikas on the blasted out rooms and a mortar team on the roof.

Marcus and the rest of Delta team rushed in before the defenders could react and taken out the heavy weaponry.

Baird and Cole arrived with several new soldiers that joined them. Their olive green uniform gave way their affiliation.

"Let me, guess, they came from the Imperial Church." Marcus remarked.

"The more the merrier right? They said that they came to help us and we could use more firepower."

Alexander stepped forth.

"I am taking this squad that the imperial church had gifted me. Marcus, you are in charge."

As Marcus about to speak out.

"Orders are clear, you get the Data about the mines, I taking this squad to clear the surroundings... The more safer the faster data is downloaded, the faster we could end this war. Go Marcus. I will regroup later."

"There is a apc at the back, Baird, Cole, check it if it's still running. The rest of you follow me" Marcus gave command.

He glanced at Alexander that is leading the church soldiers and fired at the hordes that is rushing in.

As Delta team is moving below the basement. Marcus called out to Baird.

"Baird, status report on that apc!"

"Well, the connector is shot, the hydraulics is a mess... I gonna need time."

"Time is not what we have. We need it to run."

"Alright... Alright boss man."

As they found a welded door, Marcus ordered jack to slice it.

The tremors stopped.

He raised his gun in alarm.

"The rumbling had stopped."

"That can't be good... Locust would never stop tunneling unless... Take cover!"

A grub hole erupted and several hordes of locust clambered out and attacked the team as Jack is slicing the door opened more and more locust corpses piled up.

They heard tremors In the surface and they knew Alexander is also buying time.

After Dominic threw the last of his grenades in a grub hole collapsing it.

The door opened and it revealed a computer that held the data of the locust tunnels.

"Jack, enter it." Marcus order the bot as it unlocked the computer and it revealed so many data streams.

"Anya, you seeing this?"

"Can't it be sent wirelessly?"

"Great.. we have a train to catch."

"Baird, About that Apc?"

A roar was heard above the mansion.

"Buying time!"

As they rushed out, they met a sorry sight of Alexander being battered all over.

The squad that he is temporary in command taking cover inside the mansion as they strategically gave enough crossfire to not let the locust barging inside. A soldier is setting up demolition charges to prevent this place being retaken by the locust.

A boomer held a pillar of stone as a battering ram was immediately gunned down by a hail of lasfire as they destroyed the invasion by the mere handful.

"About time you boys show up, been doing some fun below? " Alexander joked as a bullet deflected on his helmet.

"Wow, you been busy up here."

"New orders, we are going to catch a train that is rushing into Timgad station."

"Great, that's on our resume, train hustling on a high speed mag lev train."

"Brumak! Two of them!" One of the soldiers pointed towards the distance.

Two lumbering giant of flesh is heading towards them and they carried missile launchers and cannons that opened fired upon them.

"Better go back and get aboard the Apc!" Marcus rushed to the rear courtyard where Baird and Cole was firing at the numerous drones that is flooding out at the nearby grub holes. They saw another wheeled Apc providing fire support.

"Major Alexander, the Church have given a Chimera in your command."

"Thank you. The church is feeling generous today."

Alexander sat in the turret and he touched the cupola, reminded the more simpler times when he was just a Mina Dust hound...

He used the radio of the Chimera to contact Delta Team frequency.

"Delta Team, this is Major Alexander, the church in their benevolence given us extra firepower. Its not much, but it would give us time. You go ahead while we provide a firing retreat!"

"Control, this is Major Alexander, I am using the Church Apc to assist Delta Team to their destination and using their radio to contact you. Over."

Delta Team Apc went ahead first as Alexander took the rear. All his men entered the rear of the Chimera and the mansion was steamrolled by the two Brumaks. Followed up by the hordes of locust as support.

During their demolition, several charges of explosives erupted and blasted both of them and their armor plating is shed off. And the blast emitted clouds of dust.

Alexander light kick the driver shoulder.

"Driver, follow that Apc!"

He turned the stubber turret at the rear and watched in vigilance. And found that the Brumaks were just pissed off.

He opened fire to provoke them even more.

The stubber armor piercing shells dug straight into the massive Brumaks flesh.

Causing them to direct their hatred at Alexander Chimera.

"Good, good, Let your hatred flow through me..."

The Apc left in a cloud of dust in their wake.

A man with crimson eyes stood on one of the rooftops in amusement at the fact that this was supposed to be the chosen one?

Sniveling like a mere mortal. Using mortal weapons. And the reports that he supposed to be using a flaming sword is nowhere to be found and he is using a Chainsword.

"So... This supposed brother is cripple then."

A locust drone approached him and knelt down.

"My king...General Raam Is heading towards the Train" It rasped as he Revere the man before him.

The man smiled as he patted the drone head like a benevolent king.

"It's fine, all things are made the way we are...have the trap ready by then." He hummed as he disappeared.

Delta team was suddenly under fire as they made their way to a bridge that is the fastest way to the train station, but it was raised.

"We are running out of time!"

"Especially two Brumaks chasing us!"

As they rushed to the bridge control, they found out that it is run out of power.

"Anya, is it possible to redirect power from this sector to the bridge."

Alexander gave his opinion.

"Alright, We split into two groups, much faster that way. Marcus, Take Delta team to the power plant. I and the Church guards will head to the breakers. No time to quarrel, we have two Brumaks chasing after us." He pointed at the distant roaring that is heading their way.

Marcus nodded and left for the powerplant.

Alexander grinned as he aimed his lancer at a empty spot. The rest of the guards aimed alongside with him.

"I felt your presence... Come out, before I blow this section into inferno.."

A man fizzle into reality. He was dressed in robes and uncaring of the situation at hand.

"My... My, what words you have...Midas."

"So... Brother... What bodes you here?"

The man glance at the sky as if contemplating something.

"Don't know. Just here to see what the corpse emperor done to my brother corpse... Pity... You are just a weak human soul that is trapped in the carcass of something greater than you."

"At least I am fulfilling my father orders better than you...failure."

The man smiled slowly faded as he emit a pressure that made the men around Alexander forcefully knelt down. And he approached Alexander.

Who's struggling to handle the pressure.

The man grabbed Alexander throat and slammed Alexander into a building as he stared at him.

"Look at you, you sacrifice a part of your soul to make that flesh puppet to move by your will and you called me a failure? You can barely even move what is in your prime... Snapping your neck at this start is so easy to handle." He grinned as his fingertips dug into Alexander flesh making crimson blood flow at a slow rate.

"So much for a fucking groomer... King of locust? You have a terrible sense of passion. Go fuck a corpse for all I care. You disgust me when I heard from a locust that you bedded their queen at 15... You are more fucked than what our Father done to me. " Alexander mocked him.

"Big words for a man that housed traitors and failure of our alternative creators designs. Broken tools and used goods... Typical.. a broken man is leading them..."

"Traitors... Failures... Big words when you don't see their point of view. They had their second chance, they share my vision.

And they will shine more grandly than what you spout your foul mouth...one thing..." Alexander smirked.

"They are my real brothers! No longer tools!" He rolled a grenade at the ground and he grabbed the hand that is choking him, twisted it, at the meantime grabbed the man neck, used the building as a jumping board as a platform to use his legs and slammed the man into the grenade.

The plasma erupted around them.

A voice heard from the dust and debris.

"Men, head to the breakers while I deal with this... Abomination!"

The soldiers that felt their body is being lifted agreed and left for the breakers, what they are facing is beyond their pay grade.

The man that tempted to torture Alexander saw something in Alexander eyes as the plasma erupted.

Madness and insanity.

He no longer cared about his life and is willing to dragged him to hell.

The man attempted to teleport and realized that his hand is stil held on by him. He attempted to ripped Alexander armor off and he got more surprises.

He saw a second grenade bundle pin at Alexander teeth and a bunch of c-4 strapped to his chest.

For all his life that he served his brother, destroying countless civilization and people, none was more insane than the man before him.

He had godly powers that mere mortals wouldn't dare even approached him. Much less a dagger.

But this man.... This man that is using his corpse of a brother that he witness slained, eager to dragged him down to mere mortals.

He cannot teleport as something from Alexander impedes his escape, can't even ripped the man off as he fear the man before him will gather more explosives, as he felt that the ground around him is filled with demolition charges in a short frame.

He was facing a dead man that held no disregard of his life. And in his life those types of people is a true danger towards him.

As his light speed calculation ended.

A eruptions of explosives immediately blasted that was heard for miles ahead.

Delta team heard the blast and wanted to look.

"Keep moving forward! Whatever the major is doing is none of our business!" Marcus barked as he rushed past them.

At the center point of the explosion, the man heaved as he clambered out from the crater.

He lost a arm and several fragments of shrapnel and sizzled flesh steamed around him.

"[Duty] what have you done, you created a monster!" he stared at the figure that is slowly rose up from the rubble.

"He...just...opened...my eyes...."

Alexander didn't fared any better as he was more of a undead than a living person.

Intestines spilling out and one of his eyeballs is dangling out of his eye socket.

"Didn't...you...say...you...called ...me...a.

.corpse..."

Pressure began emanating from him...

The man realized that there was something wrong... As he gazed upon Alexander soul....

It was being consumed by something...

"....you... shouldn't....be existed.... You have [Emptiness]!?"

The man now fear Alexander the most.

He heard about it... The concept of [Emptiness] it was a poisonous concept and the most dangerous one.

It devoured galaxies silently not a whimper or a courageous last stands, leaving husks of planets devoid of life, it ripped out purpose of every sentient species, it destroy societies leaving them with meaningless husks of flesh in its wake...

The silencing the grandest of empires into oblivion, the Smartest of men, mad into insanity... It cannot be destroyed, nor reasoned, it takes no sides, not even escaping from it is the right path, it is inevitable.

Embedded within him, the man that is half dead is before him, have the purest form of [Emptiness] before him. And he realized that the part of where his soul that was devoured, was a tribute to some creature beyond...

"What did the corpse emperor had done to you!" He screamed. Now he truly know a instinct that lowered him down to mortals.

Fear now courses through his veins. Just having his face would literally shaped and molded by the blows. And he can't regenerate.

"More than what you should known... Brother." He felt a distorted whisper in his ears and felt a blow to his ribs sending him in mach speeds.

Destroying every remaining glass window in his wake in the desolate city blocks by just pressure alone..

As he glanced at the direction of where Alexander is, he felt his body is kicked high in the air. And slammed directly to the ground. Creating craters of dirt and asphalt in his wake.

"You supposed to be a human!"

"I never mentioned that... Brother. It's been eons since we first met. You were the joke compare to all of us. The weakest among us.... You were just a clown that hugged the strongest to survive in the courts... A pathetic clown. I met one that have bigger balls than you and he makes me laugh."

"Shut up!" The man flared as he launched flames at his direction. It was enough to scorch planets as it envelope Alexander and it was devoured.

"How is this possible Alexander solair!"

"What are you talking about brother? I am 626, [Possibility], Last remaining loyal Son to the Golden Kingdom... Now then... [Euphoria] please meet our father in the afterlife.

And if you live... I sure that bitch in Mt Kadar would be happy to see your reunion eh?" Alexander held out a power bat and smashed the man into the distance.

And the man felt that his throat is being grabbed.

"Before I forget, I will be harvesting your soul soon brother, along with your so-called wife of yours and those traitors that is hiding that silent city...my hunger is not sated, my revenge is not complete, I will retake my kingdom back, even if I pry it from my former beloved brother cold...dead...hands if I have to. If this is what you deemed a insignificant threat..."

"Ready your head in a platter. I will be collecting your head very soon..." Alexander swung the bat and the man flew in the direction of mount Kadar.

After hearing a thud in the distance...

He knelt down and vomited black blood, it was a gamble to not let the fallen brother knew he was crippled. Making him think that he still had the power to kill him at anytime.

The blast had wrecked his body internally.

Alexander looked at the mirror.

"Not one word Theseus... Of what happened here."

"I'm just a fragment... This little soul is the main part. Is the trial ready?"

His words stopped.

"We need to become monsters to kill gods... Humanity is in danger... We are fighting Eternity, a endless war beyond 40k. Ensure that the trial is to heal his soul is fixed... Or else we all be consumed by the void... I only scare that coward... But sooner or later he would figure it out that I just a paper tiger."

The man stopped...

He gazed at the broken mirror that is reflecting of himself. He was now fully recovered and his appearance was the same. The only thing is that his armor broke.

He grabbed a spare from his inventory and suited up.

"He would understand it anyway..."

"I am always somewhere, I am already a part of his ego... Is the sword ready? " Alexander is referring to Faithblazer, the identity of his faithful brother weapon now landed on his lap.

"And time is not what we all have...fock it, I gunna finish this laddie task before I 'ave me beauty sleep."

"It ain't funny if ya think aboot it, it what kept me alive of all this years. Farewell brother...may we meet again..."

He stared at the skies that lead to the desolate castle and a man that sat on a throne of devoid of life and ash, stared at him back.

The seated person gave a smile as he beckon to see if he could take the throne...

Alexander gave his middle finger as he headed towards where the Brumaks were supposedly headed.

"Did Major, got the breakers on?!" Baird yelled as he manned the control station of the powerplant.

The Baird and the rest held a stiff resistance as they were having a tug of war with the locust to hold the powerplant.

"Aye, Baird, I got ya fancy breakers on laddie, with me men handling it, what's the hold up?"

"We lacked something big to connect the two transformers to activate the bridge and we are in deep in grub!" Baird took cover behind the control panels as he yelled, a drone tried to shoot him. Cracking the glass covers.

"Then I 'ave got just the thing, using Brumaks to be the living connector is gud enuf fer ya?"

"Why your speech is always like that Major?" Anthony asked as he never know why Alexander spoke like this.

"Just had me 'ead rattled, some king of locust I met a while ago had need of a fisting. Sent that cunt back to his wee cunt of a locust queen."

"That would do! Head them towards the transformers." Baird calculated the mass of the Brumaks to the transformers.

A roar was heard and they saw the two Brumaks in the distance and between them is like a steel rod embedded in their spine, as if Alexander took time to make a chariot out of the lumbering giants. And a laser bullwhip for torturing the beast to the transformers.

"I thought I seen everything..."

"Damm, is this one of Major feats?"

"Aye, ya cunts, quit ya lobbering! Ya cunts scare mah laddies and ya whine like a pussy! Just like ya pathetic king of cunts, that's what he is!" Alexander cackled as he whipped the two Brumaks into the direction he order them to go.

The brumaks saw the humans and about to hunt them down and they felt a pressure behind them. That screamed death in their instinct is to run as fast as they can. Their instinct of surviving supercedes the hunger and hatred.

Alexander jumped off before they rushed to the transformers and they got entangled by the active generators.

The flesh seared and emitted a foul smell. As electricity flowed into their body.

Alexander approach it and sliced a flesh from the electrified corpse and take a bite and spat it out.

"Tastes like shite, need a little more vinegar and some pepper... Want a smoked jerky, fresh from the oven?"

Anthony and Baird shook their head off.

"What are ya waiting for laddies, move out or I git ya with mah boot in your arse! 'ead back to the Apc before we miss that train!"

As they rushed back and boarded the Apc, Anthony ponder a question.

"Damm, is Major is a bit more foul mouth than before?"

"A lot more foul mouth... But he is what is called eccentric."

"I 'eard that Baird, I got me a electric shaver right here with ya name on it. And it begging me to shave that weird hair of yours. And get ya arse movin!" Alexander smiled as a electric shaver whirl to life.

"I miss the old one Major..."

As they arrived in the vicinity to the train station Alexander spoke.

<>

"Gud, we about tha arrive the biggest moment of our lives and I let ya know, you are the best men I ever fight with. Except you Baird, ya hair is cursed to baldness!"

A firefight occured across the station.

Several automated defenses began firing back at the horde of locust that attempted to rush in, several locust tunnels erupted around and they been swept by grenades and flamethrowers.

As they helped the defenders to fend off the attacks, the train came rushing by in top speed.

Alexander, Marcus, Dominic, Anthony and Carlos managed to hopped aboard and Cole and Baird was left behind as a locust hole popped up and delayed them.

Baird waved off as he held off a locust with his chainsaw.

The group found themselves on the far end of the train.

They saw several men being tossed out the train... And a locust noticed their arrival.

"Humans! Release her!" He roared as he pointed at the Delta and a group of drone release bezerker in to their train car.

As simple minded as it crash into a crate filled with cereals... The group rushed forth and Marcus slammed the release button sending the train car it was on, careering into a corner crashing into a building.

As it stood up and roared, several beams erupted from behind its body as men aimed their heavy weapons at it.

"Yeah, seem like he got his head loose and probably speaking some weird accent, he claims he met the king of locust.... Anya?"

Marcus looked towards Alexander that is clobbering the locust and headbutting them to the point his helmet cracked. And he immediately aimed the lancer in one hand as he used the locust corpse as a shield.

He does know what Alexander combat style, and this is more close at hand.

"What are ya waiting for Marcus! We got a date with a bomb that want our number!"

As they slaughter their way towards the bomb car.

Several roars came in the distance and giant flying monsters began swarming the train.

Alexander patted Marcus shoulders.

"Anthony and I will do it, tha rest of ye git to the bomb car!" Alexander pointed at his back.

"Major! Isn't this suicidal?!" Anthony yelled as he manned the other chainguns.

These two people stood on the roof shooting down hundreds of the reavers that is approaching them.

"Aye, It's suicidal! But lad, this is that moment that ya can be proud, that ya are a Carmine that face death and spat on it! Make Ya brothas and parents proud of ye!" Alexander laughed as he shot downed the reavers that was closer to Anthony. He held his lancer on one hand and held the minigun another.

The tracer fire and the glow of the chaingun barrel glow so red that it was like a beacon.

Several reavers took flanking position and about to kill the duo, several missiles appeared and save them.

Several planes fly by and provide fire support. Scattering the reavers by their volley of Lascannon and bolters.

"Ah, yes the Thunderbolt are here..." He watched as they scattered the reavers.

A helicopter arrived at their location.

"Major, how's the weather down there?" A snarky voice appeared from a king raven.

"Git ya arse movin to da front! Marcus going to need that UV Light! Take Anthony with you!" Alexander bellowed as he tossed Anthony that was shocked of his strength as he landed on the helicopter floor.

Alexander ripped off the chaingun from the gun mount and venture towards where Marcus and the rest are..

Marcus and the rest took cover as they met the locust that killed Kim.

He used the kryll as a personal bullet sponge as Marcus and the rest of Delta aimed at him.

"I working on it." Marcus yelled as he took cover fire.

"At this rate we will not be able to complete our objectives!" Carlos yelled as he join the chorus of lead at the locust.

Then a king raven arrive with Baird and the rest.

The helicopter opened the uv lights and making the kryll flared Into flames.

"Engage that grub!" Hoffman yelled.

"Wilco, Everyone on me!" Marcus yelled.

"Whoo! Let's waste this fucker!"

As another barrage of bullets now rained upon the locust general.

Marcus noticed something was wrong...

As the locust flesh rended from the bullets.

A metal frame was slowly appearing from the wounds, causing sparks as the bullets ricochet from the metal beneath it's flesh.

"Fck, this guy have metal plating!"

"We got about fifteen minutes before the bomb car ready to blow!"

A voice appeared behind them.

"Allow me to provide the answer!"

A hail of bullets now swept past them and render Raam to stall for moment.

Alexander now on the roof now held a smoking chaingun as he pressed the trigger and unloaded its content to Raam.

The AP caliber shells dropped beneath his feet for a moment as the bullets swept by the wind. Leaving a trail of copper and brass in his wake.

"Marcus! Get to the bomb! We all hold this ugly freak down!" Alexander words stopped as Raam jump to where he was and began engaging Alexander.

Marcus nodded as he rushed past the duel with the disk in hand.

As Alexander bought time for Marcus, he noticed the Locust general was more machine than locust.

"... Ya literally look more like a terminator than locust. Are you sure you not in a right franchise?"

The monster before him didn't respond. As moved towards Alexander.

The sparks of the bullets slowly dented the armor plating as he inched closer to where Alexander is, and the man grinned.

Raam in his mocking gaze, Stabbed Alexander with his blade, but he laughed.

"How about ye taste me heat!" He yelled as he slammed the chaingun at Raam face, the all the accumulated heat from firing the chaingun had turned it into a makeshift heat rods as it pierce the locust face. The loss of the skull had force the monster to collapse and fell down. Alexander heaved as he placed duct tape on his wound.

"I am literally losing blood more than I could think off..."

As Alexander is contacting Marcus, the headless body of Raam slowly stood up and walked towards Alexander.

"Fok me, ya cunt had a second brain!?"

Alexander growl as he used the Harlequin kiss to rend Raam apart. And sure enough, as the body is being shredded as metal and internal organ flew out, there was a second brain in a vial installed within the ribcage of Raam that fling out of the body.

Alexander got it and he grinned...

"Trazyn would loved a 'nother collection, the brain of a locust general sound fitting." He plopped it into his inventory, he doesn't care if that jar of brain had awareness, but he wants knows how they ticked.

Alexander watched as the train slowly inched closer to where the imulsion pit is being contained. The king raven that held Delta team arrived.

"Alexander Grab on!"

Alexander watched as the King raven arrived Marcus holding out his hand.

Alexander grinned as he grab hold as he was lifted together with Dominic and Carlos.

"Dayum, major what's with you, you literally weight like a brick!"

"Haha, I run on whole grains and meat... I going to have bacon when I get back. Hmmm... Bacon."

Alexander and the rest watched as the train fell down from the broken bridge into the ravine. He contacted the church.

"*Is the evacuation finished?*"

"*Yes, my Lord, all the civilians and Cog units are already evacuated from Timgad. Awaiting for the fallout sir*"

"*Keep in touch*"

The lightmass bomb sank deeper into the caverns of imulsion and it began to activate and launched several missiles towards their respective targets.

They burrowed deeper and it crashed into the main artery of the supply chains.

The locust that saw it had limited time before it exploded in their face and blew up the tunnels.

The imulsion also acted like a gasoline to the fire and almost all the tunnels is in flames. Wiping out most of the indigenous monsters that is within.

And the flames erupted and every tunnels that lead outside was akin to a volcanic eruption. Where flame and ash went to the skies.

Hoffman gave a speech.

"With this gears , the war is one step closer to victory! No doubt we would crippled the locust as this offensive is a major success! Though we ruined this place, we did what we had to... But survive we shall..." Hoffman looked in the distance.

Alexander listening to Hoffman speech, slumped at the rear of the helicopter.

"Major?" Anthony was the first to realize something was wrong.

The rest noticed Alexander is slowly pale in color.

Baird touch his vital and he became shaken.

"Major... Is Dying?" Baird removed his armor, found that his body is bruise and that Raam, did hit Alexander his heart and his wound is bleeding, it was his adrenalin that kept him alive.

Hoffman realize it and order the pilot.

"Pilot! Make your way to the nearest cog hospital! Can't let one of the heroes die under my watch!"

As the King Raven left in the distance.

A locust riding a reaver watched the distant helicopter in the distance. And he roared.

From the darkness of the depths of Sera, Countless eyes glowed in the darkness.

The war had just begun, trials is waiting for all. The fate of Sera is not the end...

But the begining.

_________

(A/n): I attempted to follow the game trilogy and after seeing the books and comic, Yeah why the hell not. It more gritty and pretty much somewhat relatable.

Don't go asking me about gears of war 4-5, its just a rehash of what made it great. They did Marcus dirty. He always question the orders. But the newest game he was just a yes man... And yeah, I like picking on Baird the nerd.

Seriously, a low ranking soldier talk back at their superior would sent anyone to the brig, even if they had good intent.

Marcus was tossed into prison because he failed to obey orders. And he knows when to say his piece.

The Imperium would already be the de facto government by the time in gears of war 3 as Cog already dissolved by then, because Prescott left for azure leaving the remaining forces stranded, it's a slow but steady assimilation. So it's not like a quick smash and control. Like I done to the Federation of united citizen. Fyi, starship troopers.

Irl probems

Scotland... I miss the pubs, and the chatting on whether we won in soccer or had a social event...I heard they been banning what we say it for the incoming minority and we can't talk shite about our problems in the open...

Nay a bluddy majority in boats, and they want people like you and me to die in Ukraine for pennies, with nothing but sticks as our military is so crippled, and people got the balls to say we have a standing army? Queen Elizabeth carriers is in constant maintenance, leaky as well, our navy is on rental and aging like hell, our weapons are shite and we have more officers than tanks, for a nation that hates our bones, a society that blames men for their existence is not a worthy duty to die for, I am well aware of how western world treats their veterans, especially those in dessert storm and afganistan...

We will be treated as murderers and monsters by society, and a committee of Karen's would read all our transcript in the battlefield to make a reason to stuff us in prison.

Broke me heart when I see homeless vets on the streets and public suicidal empathy is on those that cross illegally into the isles. And those grooming gangs.

To my readers in, France, Germany, Ireland and Britain... Just stay safe, that's all I asked of you. There goes my bucket list to see a Irish lass with her emerald eyes. And the log throwing event... I miss my relatives there...

It's as if the world's gone mad and want all men to die for a cause that is not our own.

If I get nabbed by them bobbies and extradited for my hate speech, I say this.

"Queen Elizabeth is the last Monarch of England, not this bloody Buffoon that pretend to be royal king in England. He who stands for every faith, stands for nothing."

Poor Elizabeth, she knows what happened if he took the throne and she desperate held on to it as long as she could...

I am no longer the commonwealth citizen, looking forward to join Britain and help it to greatness... Just a political refugee at this point. Or more like watching the world burn.
