"It's a shame he jumped in the way, crazy bastard." "Hey! He's moving!" Through my blurred vision, two soldiers go to hit me with shovels, two men come up from behind them and cut their throats, "Shit, they fucked you up, Corporal!"

They stick me with a needle and I feel the adrenaline kick in. "Omen?!" "You said it yourself, the army's fucked up now, they have too much control, even in this shitshow." His arms turn black and he smiles, "What the hell?" "But now, we have the power to change things."

Looking to the other soldiers, one has water for arms, one has stone, and one has fire in his palms. "What the hell happened?" "We've all changed, Myers!" He helps me out of the hole as I crack my neck. "I haven't." "Anyway, welcome to the Ripper Gang."

Looking down at my grave, I see Jeanie laying there, "I'll kill them all." They hand me a shovel and Omen helps me dig, "At this rate, I should call you Digger." Omen looks at me as he takes another mound, "Why is that, old friend?" "Because you would dig us out of hell even if it killed ya." He laughs as I shovel the last of the dirt.

"Now, lets go kill some army scum!" He throws me an assault rifle. We follow Omen but I can't help but look back, only to be turned towards Omen. "But first, we gotta patch you up." "There's a vet's office on Kinsman and Juny, closed at night. "Perfect, Myers." A dog comes into our path, it looks at me when it comes into my light.

It's bare skin turns black as it snarls. I raise my rifle to it and get a shot off before Omen pushes my rifle up. "No! It's beautiful." He walks towards the dog and it stops snarling. It looks up at Omen and starts wagging it's tail, now riddled with bony barbs. "Good boy."

It looks at me and snarls again. He starts petting it and it stops. "No. He's off limits, pup." It walks up to me, sits and gives me it's bony paw, It turns back to normal. "Truce, I guess." "C'mon! Lets get to that vet's office!"
