I rose from my bed and stood up before I heard knocking at my door followed by a voice "Josh it's Nitro, can I come in?" the voice said "Yeah come in." I replied as the door opened and I could see Nitro standing in the corridor "Whenever you're ready come on up to the command room, I've got something you're going to want to see." Nitro said "Alright give me a minute." I said as Nitro walked down the corridor, I took a moment to collect myself after the dream I just had I was fortunate to make it out of that dream alive in my universe dreams are real if a creature dies in a dream they die for real I was attacked by several Ghosts and I fought a Demon and an Angel in that dream the Angels, the Demons and the Ghosts can enter dreams it's one of the many ways the Angels, the Demons and the Ghosts can kill creatures I then noticed that I was still holding the piece of rebar that I had used to fight that Angel any object that a creature is carrying when they fall asleep will come with them into their dreams a creature can also grab objects in dreams and take them back with them when they wake up as long as they're carrying the object when they wake up, I placed the piece of rebar on my dresser before I approached my suit I placed my hand on the chest piece and my suit opened up I then stepped inside before my suit closed around me I then walked out of my room and closed the door behind me before I began walking towards the hangar on my way there I stopped at the cafeteria and pondered whether or not I should eat I decided not to I did however head into the bathroom to piss and shit I opened my suit and stepped out of it before using the toilet and once I was finished I flushed the toilet before removing my clothing and stepping into the shower to wash myself and once I was washed I stepped out of the shower and dried myself off before I put my clothes back on and walked over to the sink and brushed my teeth and once that was done I entered my suit I then walked towards the door but then I looked back and saw Brian standing behind me "You were a mistake!" Brian screamed as he rushed towards me and attacked me, I quickly ran out of the bathroom before making my way to the hanger once I reached the hangar I entered the command room where I could see Nitro, Mayhem, Skitter and Cydaea as well as several other Resistance fighters standing around looking at a TV "What did you want to show me Nitro?" I asked "See for yourself." Nitro replied as he pointed to the TV, I looked at the TV and could see a news report showing people all over the world fighting the Federation "What's going on?" I asked "Isn't it obvious?" Mayhem said "Your recent string of attacks against the Federation have not gone unnoticed, our fight against the Federation has had an impact on people around the world." Skitter said "And it's all thanks to you Josh." Cydaea said, just then the news report showed a picture of me with a message underneath it "Joshua Robert Murday, wanted dead or alive for crimes against the Federation." the message read "Congratulations you're famous." Nitro said "It's about damn time!" I said "Nobody knows about all of those other crimes I've committed." I thought "Alright come on everyone we've still got work to do, I've got your next mission ready for you Josh." Nitro said "Lay it on me." I said "We've intercepted a Federation transmission about a Federation supply train I want you to destroy that supply train." Nitro said "Alright where is this supply train?" I asked "It just left the station at Cairo in Egypt and it's moving fast, it should arrive at the next station at Tripoli in Libya in an hour, the transport will take you the outskirts of Tripoli get into the city find the supply train and destroy it." Nitro said "Understood I'm on it." I said as I turned around and left the command room, I made my way to the transport I thought about refilling my ammo but I was probably alright the back door of the transport opened as I stepped aboard the transport "Take me to Tripoli in Libya." I said as I sat down "You got it." the pilot said as the back door of the transport closed and the transport took off and soared out of the hangar and headed towards Libya.

The transport arrived in Libya and landed just on the outskirts on Tripoli the back door of the transport opened and I stepped off of the transport the back door of the transport then closed as I looked towards the city and could see a long metal track being held up by large metal pillars, the track looked like it came from out of the city it then led into the city before going back out again and as I looked I could see massive hover train moving quickly along the track as it entered the city "Perfect timing." I said as I activated my communicator "Nitro this is Josh, I've landed and I've got eyes on the supply train." I said "Get in there and find a way to destroy that train before it leaves." Nitro said "Understood." I said as I deactivated my communicator and moved towards the city.

I entered the city and looked around to try and find the train station I stopped for a moment and looked around at my surroundings just then I could see the city's cathedral it was completely destroyed "Looks like Akasha and Desiree didn't protect these people from the Federation that's because the two Gods don't care about Humanity, if Akasha and Desiree really cared about Humanity then they would bring an end to their war and allow everyone in the universe to live in peace instead of slaughtering everyone and everything." I said, everyone knows about the two Gods of my universe Akasha and Desiree are the two Gods of my universe they created the universe and everything in it the two Gods rule the universe and they have established their laws and their teachings unto every creature in the universe every creature in the universe loves, praises and worships Akasha and Desiree but Akasha and Desiree hate each other Akasha and her army of Angels are battling against Desiree and her army of Demons and every creature in the universe is caught in the middle killed in the crossfire of the war between Akasha and Desiree any creature that is killed by an Angel goes to Heaven where Akasha turns them into an Angel and they join Akasha's army of Angels and any creature that is killed by a Demon goes to Hell where Desiree turns them into a Demon and they join Desiree's army of Demons and any creature that dies by any other means becomes a Ghost.

I looked around the area and noticing several Federation patrols in the streets I quickly ran into a nearby alley to try and avoid them as I entered the alley I began moving through it but just as I was half way through the alley I heard something moving behind me I stopped before turning around and seeing a Hybrid emerge from a building the Hybrid looked almost Human it's body was long and it had several Human heads surrounding a large mouth in the center of it's torso it's mouth was full of sharp teeth and it had several legs I quickly raised my assault rifle and aimed at the Hybrid and as I did so the Hybrid rushed towards me, the Hybrid quickly closed the gap between me and it as I jumped out of the way of it's attack I fired at the Hybrid as it chased me through the alley I dodged it's attacks whenever I could eventually I managed to injure the Hybrid enough for it to stop fighting it collapsed on the ground and writhed in pain I reloaded my assault rifle before approaching the Hybrid and fired into it until it finally died I took a breath as I stood over the Hybrid's body "I fucking hate these Hybrids." I thought as I continued through the alley and eventually reaching another street, I looked around and notice that I was now directly below the train station with the Federation supply train stationed there I could see that there was a metal stairway leading up to the train station I began moving towards the stairway but just then a Federation soldier wearing thick armour began walking down it he looked over at me before yelling "Oh fuck it's him!" the thick armoured soldier yelled before raising a rocket launcher and firing at me I quickly jumped out of the way as the rocket soared passed me and exploded and a nearby building just then two more thick armoured soldiers came running down the stairway and began firing at me I sprinted towards the soldiers as I fired jumping to avoid every rocket they fired at me eventually I managed to kill the thick armoured soldiers but just then several regular armoured soldiers emerged from different streets and began firing at me I looked at the group of soldiers and got an idea I extended my Grapple Hook but didn't attach it to anything I simply let it come out letting out as much wire as I could I then waited for the soldiers to surround me before I used my Thruster Pack to assist me in spinning around as fast as I could letting the Grapple Hook wire extend out and follow my spinning movements causing the wire to slice through the soldiers I then stopped spinning and looked around and noticed that all of the soldiers were now beginning to fall apart, their armour broke apart and their guns fell apart before their limbs began to fall off of their bodies as they screeched in agony before collapsing to the ground, I retracted my Grapple Hook but then one of those four legged Robots appeared from behind a building and began attacking I used my Thruster Pack and jumped up onto the stairway where the thick armoured soldiers were and put my assault rifle in my suit's inventory before picking up one of the thick armoured soldier's rocket launchers and aiming it at the four legged Robot before firing I pulled the trigger and a rocket shot out before flying towards the four legged Robot I then watched as it collided with the four legged Robot and exploded before the four legged Robot collapsed to the ground I then added the rocket launcher to my suit's inventory and switched to my assault rifle but just then I then heard the supply train begin to power up and leave the station "Shit!" I said as quickly reloaded my assault rifle and sprinted up to the top of the stairs and once I made it to the top I could see the train had almost completely left the station I quickly put away my assault rifle and sprinted towards the train to try and catch it and I soon reached the end of the station I realized that I wasn't going to make it I then got an idea I pulled out my rocket launcher and aimed it at the floor directly beneath me "I hope this works." I said as I jumped and as soon as I did I pulled the trigger and my rocket launcher fired into the floor directly beneath me the rocket immediately exploded and the force from the explosion launched me into the air "Oh shit!" I yelled as I soared towards the supply train, I used my Thruster Pack to fly closer to it but my suit's energy was quickly depleting as I flew I then used my Grapple Hook to attach to the back of the supply train before I reeled myself in to where the hook had landed and once I reached it I was now on a small platform on the outside of the last rail car of the supply train.

I retracted my Grapple hook before I turned around and could see a door just then a soldier opened the door I quickly extended my blade and plunged it through his head and as I did so I could see the end of my blade protruding out the back of his head I pulled my blade out of him before grabbing him and throwing him over the railing I then retracted my blade and switched to my assault rifle I then stepped through the door and entered the supply train, I began moving through the rail car and towards the next door and as I opened it I entered the next rail car which was filled with metal containers that were being held to the floor by metal cables just then two soldiers emerged from the next door and opened fire I raised my assault rifle and killed them I then walked towards the door and into the next rail car which had more metal containers I walked through the rail car but just then the entire rail car flipped on it's side "Whoa!" I yelled as I landed on the wall I quickly stood up and looked around and noticed a large sliding door that was originally on the side of the rail car but was now above me I climbed onto one of the metal containers to reach the sliding door and once I did I opened it and climbed up out of the rail car only to see that the entire supply train had tilted ninety degrees in order to turn a sharp corner in the track I began moving across the top or rather the side of the supply train to try and reach the front of the supply train I had made it to the next rail car when suddenly a Demon appeared the Demon had red eyes and horns on it's head it was colossal it had four legs and two arms there was a massive gun on each of it's arms it also had an artillery cannon on each of it's shoulders it wore black armour the Demon roared before it began attacking me it shots rockets out of the guns on it's arms I jumped to avoid the rockets fortunately none of the rockets hit the supply train not that it would have mattered if the Demon destroyed the supply train then the Demon would have done my job for me but I'd rather not be on the supply train when it explodes I switched to my rocket launcher and began firing at the Demon I fired several rockets which struck the Demon the Demon roared in pain as I fired more rockets the Demon then fired it's artillery cannons at me one of the artillery cannon shot almost hit me I continued firing rockets at the Demon until eventually the Demon collapsed and disappeared "Fucking shit." I said, I switched back to my assault rifle before I continued moving towards the front of the supply train I then looked ahead and noticed that the train was quickly approaching a large tunnel to make matters worst the supply train was also beginning to reorient itself back to it's original position I quickly opened the sliding door on the rail car I was standing on when suddenly I looked up and saw Linda standing on the rail car "End of the line Josh." Linda said as she rushed towards me and attacked me, I quickly jumped through the sliding door and into the rail car right as the supply train entered the tunnel and reoriented itself I stood up and took a breath before I stepped through the next door and entered another rail car, the next rail car had more metal containers I moved through the rail car when suddenly one of those tough armoured soldier with a shotgun stepped through the door at the end of the rail car and as I looked I could see that the next rail car was the front of the train I switched to my machine gun and fired into the tough armoured soldier the tough armored shotgun soldier fell after several of my bullets hit him I then reloaded my machine gun as I moved towards the door but just then a heavy armoured soldier stepped through I quickly ran behind one of the metal containers as the heavy armoured soldier fired at me I the switched to my rocket launcher and was about to emerge from cover to fire but then I realized if I fire a rocket on the supply train it would destroy the supply train with me still on it I then looked over and could see a sliding door on the side of the rail car I opened the door before emerging from cover and firing my rocket launcher I then immediately jumped out of the sliding door as my rocket soared into the heavily armored soldier and exploded as I landed on the ground I could see an explosion erupt from inside of the supply train before the entire supply train derailed.

The front of the supply train flew off of the track as the rail car behind it disconnected itself from the track and the rail car behind it followed, the next rail car derailed and turned onto its side before the rail car behind it crashed into it and what followed was a series of explosions and pieces of the train flying everywhere the last rail car disconnected from the track and flew off towards me it collided with the ground and flew overhead before tumbled away eventually everything settled as I sat there breathing heavily "Fucking shit did that seriously just happen?" I said as I stood up and reloaded my rocket launcher before I switched back to my assault rifle and reloaded it I then used a first aid vial to heal my injuries I then activated my communicator to contact Nitro and inform him of my success "Nitro it's Josh the supply train has been destroyed." I said "Great work Josh, come on back to the Resistance base." Nitro said "Alright I'm coming back." I said as I changed the channel on my communicator to contact the pilot "Pilot this is Josh, I need a pick up." I said "Roger that Josh, I'm coming in." the pilot said as I deactivated my communicator and before long I could see the transport approaching me but as it drew near I could hear the pilot begin to speak on my communicator "Shit incoming!" the pilot said as the transport began firing it's machine gun but just then a rocket flew in from out of view and struck the transport "Shit!" I said as I could hear the pilot over my communicator "Shit we're hit and going down." the pilot said but just then the transport crashed into the ground and exploded I started looking around to try and see what had shot that rocket and that's when I noticed several Federation gunships approaching me I switched back to my rocket launcher and fired at the approaching gunships I managed to take out a few of them but I then noticed more approaching I lowered my rocket launcher as I quickly realized that I was completely exposed to the gunships and I was running low on ammo "Fuck I knew I should have refilled my ammo." I said as I ran into the desert, I ran through the desert doing my best to avoid being spotted but it was useless I was completely exposed the gunships pursued me relentlessly I used any weapons I had ammo for to try and shoot them but I only managed to take out one of the gunships while the rest continued to chase me I ran through the desert while the gunships gave chase I looked back at the gunships when suddenly a massive Angel appeared the Angel was huge it's body was thin it's legs were short with small feet on each leg but it's arms were long with a massive hand on each arm it's head was giant and had a large eye in the center it's eye was gold and it had a halo above it's head the gunships began to attack the Angel they fired at the massive Angel but to little effect the massive Angel took the gunships out effortlessly once all of the gunships were destroyed the Angel turned to face me before it began stomping towards me "Fuck!" I said as I ran from the massive Angel, I was vastly unprepared to fight this Angel I ran across the desert as the massive Angel pursued me the ground shook with every step the Angel took eventually I came upon a mountain I wasted no time running towards the mountain as the massive Angel pursued me I soon found a cave in the mountain and entered it I then stopped to catch my breath as I poked my head out of the cave to try and spot the massive Angel, the massive Angel stomped it's way around the mountain searching for me "Fuck I'm in a real tight spot." I said before activating my communicator "Nitro it's Josh I need another transport to come and pick me up." I said "Oh alright Josh I'll send another transport to you, where are you now?" Nitro asked "I don't know I ran from the destroyed supply train when the first transport got shot down by a bunch of Federation gunships I'm in a cave in a mountain somewhere in the desert." I said "Well that doesn't tell me much can you be more specific about where you are?" Nitro asked "I don't know Nitro I'm in a mountain somewhere near the wreckage of the supply train just send a transport to come and get me I'll flag it down if I have to." I said "Alright Josh I'm sending a transport now, but it may take some time to find you." Nitro said "I'll keep an eye out for it." I said as I deactivated my communicator before looking back outside of the cave and seeing the massive Angel still stomping around "That Angel is not leaving anytime soon and if another transport comes it will just be destroyed by that Angel, I need to go somewhere safe so the transport can pick me up." I thought as I turned around and noticed that the cave I was in kept going further into the mountain I then began walking through the cave, the cave was dark so visibility was low "I wish I had a light." I thought and just then I bright light began shining through a small opening on my suit's helmet "Oh cool." I said as I continued to walk, I walked through the cave for quite awhile the light from my helmet shined bright as I walked I heard what sounded like wind passing through the cave eventually I came upon a large area of the cave that had multiple paths that I could only assume led further into the mountain I then noticed that there were sections of the wall of the cave that were broken off I also noticed that inside these broken sections of cave wall were what looked like flesh I stared at the flesh inside the rock wall for a moment I then heard the wind again but this time it was much louder and it sounded more like breathing I then realized that I wasn't in a cave in fact I wasn't even in a mountain "Oh shit, I'm inside of a Behemoth." I said, I remember learning about Behemoths when I was in school I looked around and could see Belial and De'vorah standing in front of me "It's only a matter of time before we get you." they said as they rushed towards me and attacked me, I ran away from them before moving further into the Behemoth.

I ran through the Behemoth doing everything in my power to try and be as quick and as quiet as I could as to not disturb the Behemoth the fact that I mistook this Behemoth for a mountain means that this Behemoth is sleeping and if I wanted to stay alive I needed to ensure that this Behemoth stayed sleeping "I need to find a way out of this colossal Animal." I said, I moved through the interior of the Behemoth until eventually I reached an opening that led back outside I walked through the opening and saw that I was back outside I turned my helmet light off before putting as much distance between me and the Behemoth as possible I ran back out into the desert until I looked back and could see the massive Angel had noticed me "Shit!" I said as the massive Angel began to attack me I did everything in my power to avoid the massive Angel but just then I felt the ground begin to shake and it wasn't being caused by the massive Angel I looked back and could the the Behemoth that I was just in being to move it rose up from the ground as it began to walk on it's four massive legs the Behemoth turned to face the massive Angel before it let out a mighty roar just then the massive Angel turned it's attention towards the Behemoth I took the opportunity to get as far away from the two of them as I could I put lots of distance between me and the Angel and the Behemoth before I turned around and watched in awe as the Behemoth raised one of it's massive legs before slamming it down into the Angel the ground shook violently as the Behemoth crushed the Angel beneath it's massive leg and after a few moment the Behemoth raised it's massive leg and as I looked I could no longer see the Angel which meant that it died and disappeared the Behemoth let out a victorious roar before it began to stomp away I stood there in awe from everything I had just witnessed "Fuck that was intense." I said as I turned back around and began walking through the desert, I walked through the desert when just then I looked around and noticed a large patch of green in the distance I looked closer and realized what it was "An oasis?" I said as I looked towards the large patch of green, I then began moving towards the oasis as it was better that standing around in the hot desert waiting for the transport I ran towards the oasis until occasionally using my Thruster Pack to help me get there just a little faster until eventually I arrived at the large patch of green and sure enough it was an oasis I then noticed my suit's energy meter quickly refill "My suit must have some kind of self sustaining power source." I though as I began exploring the oasis.

I looked around the oasis the green grass and trees were a sight for sore eyes there was even a small pond in the center "Perfect." I thought as I walked up to the pond opened my helmet and began drinking I took my time enjoying the refreshing water before closing my helmet and wondering what I was going to eat I looked around the area to see if there were any Animals nearby that I could kill and eat preferably small Animals I looked around and could see a group on Animals walking nearby the Animals had long bodies their heads were shaped like a dome with two eyes on either side of it and they all had two long legs I looked at the Animals and knew what they were it was a herd of Blitzopods I remember learning about Blitzopods when I was in school, I switched to my sniper rifle and was about to shoot one of the Blitzopods but just then I heard a sound I darted my head towards where the sound was coming from "Shit someone's coming, it might be a Federation soldier." I thought as I activated my Cloaking Device I then stood there and waited there for a few moments before I saw someone emerge from a nearby bush and approach the water it was a man with black skin he had short black hair and brown eyes he was wearing a brown shirt and grey shorts that had several pockets on them and black boots he was also wearing a backpack, I stared at the man as he approached the water "Maybe that guy has food in his backpack." I thought, I then extended my blade before quietly approaching the man I needed to eat and I not the kind of person who asks nicely I reached the man and without hesitation I plunged my blade into his chest and held it there for a moment before I removed my blade from the man and he collapsed to the ground dead "Fucking nigger." I said, I then retracted my blade before deactivating my Cloaking Device I then began to search the man's backpack but I found no food inside the backpack I then searched the man's pockets but again there was no food "Fuck." I said, I looked around the surrounding area for any sign of a transport but I couldn't see anything and my stomach was starting to hurt now "Fuck there's no sign of the transport and I'm starving I'm might be here awhile and there's fuck all to eat." I said but just then I had an idea I opened my helmet and kneeled down next to the man I had just killed I looked at the man's dead body I then reached into the hole where I stabbed him I tore off a chunk of flesh before moving the chunk of flesh towards my mouth I slowly opened my mouth and took a bite out of the chunk of flesh I finished eating the chunk of flesh and swallowed before reaching towards the man to grab another piece I tore chunk after chunk off of the man and consumed his flesh I kept eating until my hunger was sated I then sat there staring at the man's dead body before I could hear the sound of something approaching I quickly stood up and looked towards where the sound was coming from and I could see a transport fly over head before landing just on the outskirts of the oasis I closed my helmet and began running towards the transport the back door of the transport opened and I stepped aboard just then I looked back and could see several Ghosts surrounding the transport just then they rushed towards me and attacked me but before they could reach me the back door of the transport closed just then the pilot began to speak "Hey Josh sorry for the wait I was flying all over this area looking for you." the pilot said "It's fine you're here now just take me back to the Resistance base." I replied and with that the transport took off, as I sat in the transport before I turned towards the pilot and began to speak "So how did you find me?" I asked "Well usually we just search the last known location of our Resistance fighters before flying around looking for a scene of destruction that's usually our first indicator that one of our Resistance fighters is nearby, I flew over here and found the wrecked supply train before I flew around and saw a Behemoth I then saw the oasis and figured that you would be there and sure enough there you were." the pilot answered and with that I faced forward again "So that's how the other pilot must have found me after my missions." I thought before the pilot spoke again "By the way since I'm not your usual pilot to contact me you'll need to set your communicator to channel six." the pilot said "Alright." I replied before taking a breath and looking out the window as the transport flew off and made it's way back towards Scotland.
