Everything was dark my thoughts slowly returned to me and I could feel my aching head I could hear what sounded like footsteps on a hard concrete floor and metallic banging sounds in the distance I regained feeling in the rest of my body and I slowly opened my eyes I looked around and noticed that I was in a small windowless room with a small bed and a small toilet there was a metal door with two small openings one near the top and one at the bottom, I walked over to the door and looked through the opening near the top and I could see a large room with several floors the room had countless metal doors like the one in my room lining the walls of each floor and there was a large tower in the center of the room that had metal walkways leading up to it from the floor and glass windows near the top, it was clear that I was in some kind of prison but before I could see anymore a soldier stepped in front of the door "You're finally awake." the soldier said as he slid a tray of food through the small opening near the bottom of the door "Enjoy asshole." the soldier said as he laughed and walked away, I knelled down to pick up the tray of food and see what was on it on the tray was what looked like pieces of rotten meat with a small cup of dirty water I put the tray down and slumped over into the bed as I lay there millions of thoughts rushed through my head "My Mom and my Dad are dead, what is the Federation, what's happened to the rest of the world?" I was overwhelmed by a feeling of utter helplessness I let out a sigh as I laid there in the bed.

I lay in the bed occasionally tossing and turning while the hum of the overhead light in my cell was the only thing I could hear just then I heard a loud metallic bang I got up and walked over to the cell door to see what was happening I looked through the hole in the door and could see a group of soldiers entering the cell block "This is bullshit!" one of the soldiers shouted "What happened?" another soldier asked "I got in trouble, apparently I was being unprofessional!" the first soldier replied "Ha, poor bastard." the other soldier said "Shut the fuck up and open one of the cells!" the first soldier said "Need to let off some steam do ya, well I'm sure nobody will mind." the other soldier said as he walked over to a cell pulled a keycard out of his pocket and slid it into a reader next to the cell door the door then opened and I could hear the prisoner within begin to yell "No don't please!" the prisoner pleaded "Come here asshole!" the soldier yelled as he entered the cell and threw the prisoner into the cellblock just then all of the soldiers proceeded to mercilessly beat the prisoner, the beating went on for what seemed like forever until the prisoner finally stopped moving the soldiers then tossed him back into the cell and closed the door before locking it with the keycard and walking away, I stood there in my cell shaking horrified at what I had just witnessed I slowly backed away from the door before crawling into the bed, I laid in my bed shaking as the reality of my situation became clear I was trapped in this cell.

I've been here for days the soldiers continued to slide food into the cell only one meal a day at first I was reluctant to eat the food they were giving me but I soon realized that this is the only food I would get so I eventually ate the food, the food wasn't fresh to say the least I puked my meals out more than enough times I used the toilet in my cell to piss and shit the beatings continued as well soldiers would enter the cell block pissed off at something only to take their anger out on one of the prisoners sometimes they would come to the cell I was in to let off some steam they would open the door and enter the cell sometimes I tried to hide under the bed sometimes I tried to fight back but it was all for nothing after they were done they would walk out of my cell and lock the door leaving me beaten and bloody on the floor I would lay on the bed and think about everything that was happening it seemed like I would never get out of this cell.

It's been weeks since I was thrown into this prison I was slowly getting used to the taste of the food they were giving me the toilet in my cell got clogged so now whenever I needed to piss and shit the toilet would no longer flush when the soldiers came in to let off some steam I merely watched as the soldiers opened a cell and beat one of the prisoners sometimes the beatings were so severe that once the soldier were done they would throw the prisoner out of the cell and drag their motionless body through the door that the soldiers entered through it was clear that the prisoner didn't survived I crawled into the bed and lay there I thought about everything that was happening as I became more angry "I will get out of here, and I will kill you all." I said.

Months have passed since I got here I puked my meals out more and more often the piss and shit that I would leave in the toilet started to pile up as the toilet was still clogged the beatings continued whenever the soldiers came to my cell I fought and I kicked and I screamed but to no avail the soldiers beat me to a bloody pulp before finally leaving me alone, one day I was looking through the hole in my cell door before I turned around and as I did so I saw someone sitting on my bed I looked at them and could see that it was Linda "They killed us!" Linda said, I looked at her and I could see that she had black eyes anybody that has black eyes is a Ghost I screamed and jumped back as she rushed towards me and attacked me, I quickly crawled under the bed to avoid her attack before looking and seeing that Linda was no longer there I laid there underneath the bed for awhile before I crawled out from under the bed I then collapsed on the bed and laid there.

I've been in this prison cell for years now I refused to eat the food that they were giving me but some days my hunger would take over and I would eat regardless of how much I puked my cell stunk due to the pile of piss and shit in the clogged toilet the beatings only got worst as well the soldiers would come in more and more often to let off steam and more and more prisoners were getting killed as a result of the beatings I was certain that I would suffer the same fate as the other prisoners, one day I was laying in the bed and gazing at the wall when suddenly then I heard a familiar voice coming from behind me "Josh." the voice said it was the voice of Brian I slowly turned towards where the voice was coming from and I saw Brian standing there he had black eyes "You should have died with us!" Brian screamed as he rushed towards me and attacked me, I quickly hid under the bed to avoid his attack and after a few moments I poked my head out from under the bed and looked around but Brian was no longer there I then recoiled my head back under the bed and laid there and began to scream just then I heard the sound of footsteps approaching my door followed by the voice of the soldier on the other side "Hey would you keep it down in there!" the soldier demanded, ignoring his shouts I continued to scream "I said shut up!" the soldier barked as he opened the cell door and stood in the doorway with an assault rifle in his hands he raised his assault rifle and was about to strike me with it but I quickly crawled out from under the bed and I jumped on the soldier I wrapped my arms around his neck as he dropped his assault rifle and flailed around trying to shake me off, we struggled for a while as he desperately tried to shake me off of him I managed to force him to the ground I then picked up the assault rifle and proceeded to shoot the soldier in the head I fired at the soldier and he was dead I then took a few deep breaths before I searched his body I searched the dead soldier's body until I found a keycard on his body I grabbed the keycard before I stood up and ran out of my cell I looked around and saw a door at the far end of the room with a keycard reader next to it I walked over to the door and slid the keycard through the reader and as the door opened and I put the keycard in my pocket I then raised my assault rifle and began moving through the prison.

I ran through the prison until I came to a small room with two soldiers in it the soldier weren't facing me so they were unaware of my presence I aimed my assault rifle at one of the soldiers and fired at him but my bullets didn't hit the soldier as my aim was terrible the two soldiers quickly turned around and noticed me before they started shooting at me I kept firing at the soldier until I managed to hit one of them and he dropped to the floor dead I quickly aimed at the other soldier and fired and he died as well I then walked up to their bodies and gathered as much ammo as I could carry I put the ammo in my pockets before proceeding down another corridor that led to a large room with several soldiers in it I ran through the room hoping they wouldn't notice me but then I heard one of the soldiers shout "You stop!" the soldier said as he and the others began firing at me I turned around and returned fire on them I managed to kill one before I reached the end of the room and ran out as I heard one of the soldiers tell the other soldiers that I had escaped, as I left the room and entered another I saw several elevators with keycard readers next to them I slid my keycard through one of the readers and the elevator opened I stepped into the elevator and pushed the ground floor button on the panel and as the elevator doors closed I could feel the elevator begin to move but after a few seconds an alarm began to ring and an intercom turned on "Alert, a prisoner has escaped from the cell block last seen heading towards the elevators, shut down all of the elevators!" the voice on the intercom said as the elevator came to a screeching halt I grabbed the safety rails and the elevator stopped and looked at the elevator panel and could see that the elevator had lost power "Fuck." I said, I then looked up and could see an emergency hatch on top of the elevator I stepped onto the safety rails and opened the hatch I then climbed out on top of the elevator I looked around and could see that the doors leading to the next floor were within arms reach, I dropped my assault rifle and reached up I forced the doors open but as I did so the doors opened and I saw some kind of creature standing there the creature didn't look entirely Human it had long arms and legs that looked like they had multiple joints it's torso was thin and I could see bones sticking through it's skin "What the fuck!" I yelled as the creature roared at me, the creature jumped on me as it attempted to attack me I struggled against the creature until I managed to shake it off of me I threw the creature into the elevator it collided with the emergency hatch before falling into the elevator I then approached the emergency hatch before and could see the creature in the elevator I then picked up my assault rifle and fired at the creature until it was dead "What was that?" I said, I then climbed up through the elevator doors that led to the next floor I then continued moving through the prison.

I ran through the prison until I found myself in another corridor I gripped my assault rifle and ran down the corridor I then came upon a door that led to an staircase I opened the door and began walking up the stairs and as I did so I could hear soldiers approaching from below I quickly made my way to the top of the stairs and walked through the door into another corridor I followed the corridor down but before long the voice from the intercom came back "Alert, the prisoner has made his way into alpha sector, lock down alpha sector now!" the voice said I heard a loud metallic sound at the end of the corridor and as I looked ahead I could see a large metal gate begin to close I sprinted towards the metal gate but by the time I reached it the gate had shut locking me in "Damn it!" I said as I looked around the corridor just then I heard something behind me I looked at it and could see that it was an Angel the Angel wore golden armour it had gold eyes and a halo on it's head it had a two wings on it's back just then the Angel rushed towards me I quickly raised my assault rifle and fired at the Angel and after a few shots the Angel collapsed to the floor the Angel then disappeared I took a breath before I looked around and noticed a small vent cover on the wall I approached it and dropped my assault rifle I then pulled the vent cover off I then picked up my assault rifle before crouching down and crawling through the vent, I crawled through the vent for awhile until I reached another vent cover I forced the vent cover off and crawled out of the vent I stood up looked around and found myself in a large room I looked around and could see what looked like a large device in the center of the room I could also see several soldiers in the large room I raised my assault rifle and fired at the soldiers I killed a few of the soldiers before the others realized what was happening and started shooting back at me I fired at the soldiers for awhile I shot at one soldier but I missed a few of my shots I saw my bullets hit the large device in the center of the room and as they did so I could see the large device begin to break apart I ignored the large device as I killed the remaining soldier in the large room and once they were dead I looked and could see a door nearby I ran towards the door but just then the large device in the center of the large room began to make strange noises I looked at the large device and could see that it was breaking apart sparks flew out of the large device and I could see smoke coming out of the large device "That's probably not good." I said as I opened the door and ran through it.

I ran through the door and could see that I was now in a corridor that had several metal crates scattered about I looked down the hallway and saw another door but as I began walking towards I saw a Demon appear the Demon had red eyes and horns on it's head the Demon wore black armour it had two wings on it's back it also had a tail I quickly raised my assault rifle and fired at the Demon and after a few shot the Demon collapsed to the floor the Demon then disappeared, I took a breath before I started walking but as I was walking I could hear metallic sounds I looked down the corridor and could see what looked like a small Robot turret emerge from the ceiling the Robot turret had a gun on it and a single red eye on it the Robot turret turned towards me and began firing lasers at me I quickly dove behind one of the crates just barely avoiding the lasers I then tried to think of a way out of this situation when I heard the Robot turret stop firing I peeked out to get a better look at the Robot turret but as I did so it immediately began firing again I recoiled my head as the lasers streamed past and after a few seconds the Robot turret stopped firing again with no other option I took a deep breath and ran out from behind the crate and crouched behind another one as the Robot turret fired at me I waited for the Robot turret to stop shooting before emerging from behind the crate and running to the next dodging lasers as I did so, I eventually got close enough to the Robot turret that I could get a good shot on it I took one last deep breath and jumped out from behind the crate and quickly shot the Robot turret which exploded after a few shots I sighed in relief as I approached the door and stepped through as I entered the next room I could see more metal crates stacked on top of one another I then noticed two soldiers in the corner of the room I quietly ran behind a metal crate and just as I was about to shoot them one of the soldiers opened a metal crate and revealed a large suit of armour inside "Check it out." one of the soldiers said "Woah that's one awesome looking suit." the other soldier said "Yeah it's a beauty." the first soldier replied "So why are we keeping it here?" the other soldier asked "To keep it safe, word around the city is that the Resistance has a hideout somewhere in the city, they would never think to search the prison for anything to steal." the soldier replied "Damn Resistance." the other soldier said before the two of them exited the room, I walked up to the suit and inspected it the colour of the suit was black and it had a red visor on it's helmet it had a large rectangular portion on it's back "Wow." I said as I dropped everything I was carrying before placing my hand on the chest piece the suit began to light up and a small message appeared "User DNA verified." the message read and then the suit opened up, I instinctively stepped into the suit and it automatically closed around me as it began to power up I could see images and messages on the visor inside the helmet "Vital signs, Suit energy, Ammunition counter." the messages read as the suit finished powering up another message briefly appeared "Synchronization complete." the message read, I looked at my hands before I looked down at the rest of my body I inspected the suit I was now wearing before I thought about something "When I placed my hand on this suit the suit read my DNA signature there must be some kind of biometric scanner built into this suit and because I placed my hand on the suit and the suit read my DNA then this suit will now only respond to my DNA signature that means that I am now the one and only person who can use this suit." I thought, I picked up my stuff and put all the ammo I was carrying into small pouches that were on my suit's waist I then grabbed my assault rifle and my keycard before noticing a door with the exit sign above it and a keycard reader next to it I walked up to the door but just then I looked behind me and could see several Ghosts standing there staring at me just then they rushed towards me and attacked me, I quickly turned around and slid my keycard through the reader and the door opened I then ran through the door and once I ran through the door I noticed that I was outside of the prison.
