The Last Stand: Genesis War
Location:
A shattered ancient city, half-buried under dust and debris.
Torn skyscrapers, broken statues, ancient temples — now the battlefield.
Red skies, thunderclouds above.
The Genesis Core emits a brilliant blue aura, seen for MILES.
Chris had made his stand here.
All communication had gone silent.
The world had left them behind.

Chris' Army Setup
Chris' elite battalion, known as the Silver Vanguards, was in position:
150 hand-picked soldiers — ex-special forces, old legends, survivalists.
20 helicopters hover above, gunships locked and loaded.
Tanks and drones line the streets.
Their equipment:
Heavy exo-suits for mobility and defense.
Railguns, plasma rifles, anti-armor explosives.
Genesis-adapted tech: shields and weapons powered by stolen Genesis energy cells.
Chris' Right Hands: | Name | Specialty | Description | |-------------|---------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------| | Major Soren Black | Heavy assault, demolitions | Massive soldier in mechanized armor. Nicknamed "Titan." | | Captain Elira Cross | Sniper, infiltration | Cold, precise, deadly. Known as the "Ghost Huntress." | | Lieutenant Damon Reaves | Tactical comms, drone control | Genius tactician, runs the air support grid. |

The Battle Begins
Kaela and Arin stood behind the defensive lines, exhausted but determined, cradling the Genesis Core between them.
Suddenly —
the ground shook.
Sirens screamed.
The horizon burned.
> "Enemy contact! Enemy contact! All forces brace!"
From the east:
Selene Ward and her Iron Circle forces, clad in steel armor like medieval titans, marching in disciplined rows.
Huge hammer-wielding knights lead the charge.
From the west:
Carter Vane and his Black Fang mercenaries, dozens of agile stealth units in black exosuits, slipping through shadows and ruins.
From the north:
Lucia Voss unleashing horrifying flesh-beasts bred for destruction.
And above:
Dorian Kestrel's eerie drones blot out the sun, humming death songs.
All factions converged on Kaela, Arin, and Chris' battalion — a four-way siege.

First Clash
Chris roared into his radio:
> "Vanguards, formation Delta! Focus fire! Protect the Core at all costs!"
Helicopters screamed down with missile strikes.
The streets became rivers of gunfire and explosions.
Railgun rounds tore apart the front lines, but the enemy kept coming.
Soren Black engaged Selene's hammer knights personally, matching her brutal swings with a massive Genesis-powered hammer.
Elira Cross sniped commanders in the chaos, her bullets precise and lethal, picking off Lucia's mutated abominations.
Damon Reaves controlled drone swarms that countered Dorian's death machines in the sky.
Kaela and Arin, despite their wounds, unleashed Genesis energy blasts — raw beams of power that seared through enemy tanks and armor.
> Kaela screamed:
"We can't let them near the Core!"

The Hollowborn Join
From the abyssal cracks in the earth, monstrous Hollowborn emerged.
Maulborn Ravagers tore apart tanks like paper.
Wraithcoil Sirens charmed soldiers into suicide missions.
Hollowbeast Grendel smashed helicopter after helicopter.
And worse —
In the far distance, at the heart of the approaching black storm, Veyra, the cruel queen herself, watched silently with a chilling, inhuman smile.
She raised her hand... and called.
Hundreds more Hollowborn answered the call, rushing toward the battlefield in an endless tide.

Chris vs the Commanders
Chris stood tall amidst chaos, blood dripping from his armor.
Selene, Carter, Lucia, and Dorian — the enemy commanders — closed in.
Instead of fear, Chris just smirked, cracked his neck, and readied his shotgun and blade.
> "Bring it, you bastards."
Clash:
Carter tried using cloaked assassins — Chris countered with seismic grenades that collapsed buildings onto them.
Selene met Chris in hand-to-hand. Sparks exploded from their collisions, Chris' blade singing against her hammer.
Lucia's beasts overwhelmed flanks, but Chris' soldiers rallied — flamethrowers roaring, slicing down mutants.
Dorian's drones darkened the skies until Chris ordered all gunships to rain EMPs, frying the machines in midair.
Every second felt like an hour.
Every inch of ground was painted in blood.

Kaela and Arin: Desperate Stand
Meanwhile, Kaela and Arin led a desperate fallback around the Core.
Arin was bleeding from a wound on his side.
Kaela's hands shook from overusing her Genesis power.
The Core pulsed — reacting to their fear, their will.
For a moment, Kaela heard the Core whisper:
> "Use me... destroy them all..."
"But lose yourself."
She hesitated — then made her choice.
Instead of burning herself out, she handed a surge of energy into Chris' equipment — boosting him to superhuman speed and strength.

The Final Blow of the Chapter
Chris, powered by Genesis energy, fought like a berserker god.
He cracked Selene's armor.
He broke Carter's arm.
He forced Lucia to retreat screaming.
He shot Dorian through his shoulder, forcing him to vanish into shadows.
The battlefield slowed.
The commanders staggered back.
Chris, breathing hard, stabbed his blade into the ground and roared:
> "THIS CITY DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU!!"
The Silver Vanguards roared with him.
Even Kaela and Arin found new hope.
But as silence fell for a second —
the skies turned completely black.
The earth trembled again.
From the northern ruins, Veyra began to move...
And the war was not over.
