The transport arrived back in Scotland as it flew towards the Resistance base the transport flew into the hangar and landed the back door of the transport opened and I stepped off of the transport the back door of the transport then closed and I made my way towards Nitro who was running back and fourth inside the command room as if he was panicking "What's going on?" I asked upon my arrival to the command room "Oh fuck it's not good Josh, it's Cydaea she's been captured!" Nitro said "What!" I said "Cydaea was captured by the Federation during one of her missions." Nitro explained "Well do we have any idea where the Federation might have taken her?" I asked "Cydaea managed to activate her emergency transponder when she was captured we're tracking her signal, wherever she is she's moving and fast the Federation have most likely put her on one of their transports and are moving her elsewhere." Nitro said "So what are we going to do?" I asked "We can't risk Resistance secrets falling into the Federation's hands so you're going to find Cydaea and rescue her." Nitro said "Right." I said "We're tracking Cydaea's signal so tell the transport pilot to track Cydaea's emergency transponder signal and take you too it, you should be able to find her easily enough bring her back Josh." Nitro said "You got it." I replied as I turned around and ran up to the crate of ammunition and refilled my ammo before I made my way towards the transport, the back door of the transport opened and I stepped aboard the transport I immediately sat down and informed the pilot of the situation "Cydaea has been captured by the Federation her emergency transponder signal is active track it and bring me too it." I said "Roger that give me a moment." the pilot said, after a moment the pilot spoke again "Alright I have Cydaea's transponder signal I'm tracking it now." the pilot said "Good let's go!" I said as the back door of the transport closed and the transport took off and flew out of the hangar.

The transport flew across the sky I didn't know where in the world I was all I knew is that I had to rescue Cydaea "Alright we're approaching Cydaea's signal." the pilot said, I stood up and looked out the transport window and within moments I could see a Federation transport flying through the sky "That's where Cydaea is?" I asked "That's where her signal is coming from so I guess so." the pilot replied "Get me right up next to that thing." I said "How are you gonna get inside?" the pilot asked "Leave that to me." I answered, the Resistance transport then flew closer to the Federation transport but just then the Federation transport began firing "Shit we're taking fire!" the pilot said "Thanks for the update!" I said before I moved towards the back of the Resistance transport "We can't stay here!" the pilot said "Just open the door!" I said, the back door of the Resistance transport then opened as we we're now right next to the Federation transport I then put my weapon away and jumped out of the Resistance transport I then used my Grapple Hook to grab the side of the Federation transport, the Resistance transport immediately closed it's back door and flew away as I retracted the cable on my Grapple Hook which reeled me in towards where the hook landed and once I was there I was now hanging onto the side of the Federation transport with my Grapple Hook I was about extended my blade and use it to anchor me into the side of the Federation transport but just then a Demon appeared the Demon had red eyes and horns on it's head it had two large wings on it's back the Demon flew towards me and attempted to strike me I quickly pulled out my assault rifle and fired at the Demon the Demon flew around trying to attack me and avoid my bullets eventually I managed to hit the Demon enough that it roared in pain and began to fall towards the ground just then the Demon disappeared I put my assault rifle away before I extended my blade and drove it into the side of the Federation transport anchoring me in place I then detached my Grapple Hook from the Federation transport before firing it further up the Federation transport once the hook was in place I retracted my blade and allowed my Grapple Hook to reel me in once I arrived at where the hook had landed I noticed a window on the side of the Federation transport I looked in through the window and could see two Federation soldiers standing near the window it looked like they were talking to each other but suddenly one of the soldiers looked over the shoulder of the other and noticed me in the window he pointed at me in a state of panic I quickly ducked my head out of view before the other soldier could turn around after a few seconds of waiting I looked back through the window only to see what looked like the two soldiers arguing about what one of them saw "Alright enough fucking around." I thought as I extended my blade and just as I was about to strike I saw the first soldier point at me again and the other soldier turn around only this time he could see what the first soldier was pointing at I then thrusted my blade into the window breaking the glass my arm had reached far enough to reach one of the soldiers I grabbed him before pulling him through the small window which created a larger opening I then threw the soldier away and watched as his body flew through the air "See ya later bitch!" I said as I began to squeeze myself through the hole I had just created the hole was a little small which made crawling through it difficult but I eventually managed to squeeze through it and was now inside the Federation transport, every loose object in the area was being sucked out through the hole I had just made and the first soldier raised his gun and fired on me to little effect I thrusted my blade through his chest and he was dead I then pulled my blade out of his chest as his body dropped to the floor I then retracted my blade and pulled out my assault rifle before I looked and saw Stahl staring at me just then he rushed towards me and attacked me, I ran away from him before I looked ahead and could see a door I approached the door but just then the door opened and several Federation soldiers stepped through they immediately began firing at me and I dove behind a large crate I then looked around before I saw a large red button on the wall I ran up to the large red button and pushed it suddenly the back of the Federation transport opened I quickly used my Grapple Hook to anchor myself to the floor as everything in the area including the soldiers was sucked out of the Federation transport I then extended my blade and stuck it into the floor before I fired my Grapple Hook towards the door and once my hook landed next to the door I retracted my blade before I allowed my Grapple Hook to reel me in towards the door but as I was being reeled in I heard what sounded like a loud roar coming from behind me I looked back only to see a Dragon emerge and begin flying towards the Federation transport "Oh fuck!" I said, I remember learning about Dragons when I was in school the Dragon roared and began attacking the Federation transport I quickly reached the door and wasted no time stepping through it I then retracted my Grapple Hook before I closed the door behind me I then began moving through the Federation transport.

I moved through the Federation transport taking out any soldiers I came across the Federation transport was large and was divided into multiple sections I moved from section to section killing soldiers and searching for Cydaea I then thought about something "My Tracking Visor would be useful here." I thought, I then activated my Tracking Visor and as I did so my helmet's visor changed and I could now see differently everything looked grey but I could see what looked like red outlines the red outlines looked like Federation soldiers I could see multiple red outlines of Federation soldiers in different areas of the Federation transport I then noticed one red outline that looked like some sort of large creature that was further ahead in the Federation transport I looked and could see the red outline of the Dragon that was outside of the Federation transport I then looked ahead and could see one red outline that was further ahead in the Federation transport this red outline didn't looked like a Federation soldier this red outline looked like a woman being held in place by something "That must be Cydaea." I said, I was about to deactivate my Tracking Visor and continue moving through the Federation transport when suddenly I got an idea I switched to my sniper rifle and aimed it at one of the red outlines of one of the Federation soldiers I then pulled the trigger and my sniper rifle fired I then watched as the red outline of the Federation soldier was struck by my bullet and collapsed to the floor dead "My sniper rifle can shoot through walls so I can use my Tracking Visor to see through walls and then use my sniper rifle to shoot through walls, oh yall fucked up now!" I said as I fired at all of the other red outlines of the Federation soldiers, I took out the Federation soldiers in the rooms ahead one by one as I could see the other Federation soldiers that were near the soldiers that I was shooting dart their heads around unaware of what was happening some of the soldier ran around in a panic but I simply shot them as well eventually I couldn't see any more red outlines of Federation soldiers and so I deactivated my Tracking Visor and my vision returned to normal I then switched to my assault rifle before I continued moving through the Federation transport, I kept moving through the Federation transport when suddenly an Angel appeared the Angel had gold eyes and a halo on it's head the Angel was holding some kind of gun in it's hands Angel aimed it's gun at me before it fired the Angel fired a laser from it's gun I just barely managed to dodged the laser I ran around the area to avoid the Angel's attack as I aimed my assault rifle at the Angel and fired the Angel continued to fire a laser from it's gun as I shot at it but just then the Angel managed to hit me with the laser that was firing from it's gun I yelled as the laser hit me but then I put my assault rifle away before I rushed towards the Angel and grabbed it I struggled with the Angel for awhile until eventually I managed to grab the Angel gun I pulled the Angel gun out of the Angel's hands I then aimed the Angel gun at the Angel and pulled the trigger and as soon as I did so a laser fired from the Angel gun and hit the Angel the Angel yelled in pain as I continued firing at it and after awhile the Angel collapsed to the floor and disappeared I took a deep breath before I realized that I was still holding the Angel gun in my hands the Angel gun didn't disappear when the Angel disappeared "This Angel gun shoots a laser." I said before I put the lancer in my inventory, I then pulled my assault rifle out before I saw Brian standing at the end of the room "You can't save her." Brian said as he rushed towards me and attacked me, I ran from him before looking back and seeing that my Dad was no longer there I took a breath before I continued to move through the Federation transport I ran from one section of the Federation transport to the next I entered one section that was filled with large containers I ran through the area when suddenly the Dragon rammed into the Federation transport causing it to shake just then one of the large containers burst open and a Hybrid stepped out, the Hybrid looked almost Human it was large and it was covered in brown armour it's hands were large and had large claws on them and it's head was long and narrow the Hybrid roared before it swung one of it's arms at me I quickly dodged the incoming attack "The red outline of that large creature that I saw with my Tracking Visor must have been this Hybrid." I thought as I began firing at the Hybrid, my bullets bounced harmlessly off of the Hybrid's armour the Hybrid then curled up into a ball and began rolling towards me very quickly I used my Thruster Pack to avoid it as the Hybrid slammed itself into the wall of the transport leaving a large dent I then ran up to the Hybrid before it could recover and fired my assault rifle into the Hybrid's eye the Hybrid roared in pain before collapsing to the floor dead "Seriously fuck these Hybrids." I said before reloading my assault rifle just then the Dragon struck the Federation transport again this time all of the windows in the area shattered just then the Dragon breathed fire at the Federation transport I quickly ducked down at the stream of intense flame struck the side of the Federation transport the flame entered the area I was in through the shattered windows I quickly crawled through the area as the streams of flame burned just above me I then reached the next door and opened it I then stood up and stepped through the door and continuing through the Federation transport.

I ran through the Federation transport until I eventually enter a section that had what looked like a large cage in the center I approached the cage when suddenly I saw Belial along with several Ghosts just then they rushed towards me and attacked me, I ran up to the cage as I evaded them before I looked inside the cage and saw Cydaea inside the cage she looked injured and it looked like she was being held in place by clamps I put my weapon away before extending my blade but just then I looked behind me and could see Linda and De'vorah standing there "You're running out of time Josh." they said as they rushed towards me and attacked me, I avoided them before I used my blade to slice the large hinges off of the cage opening it I then entered the cage and walked up to Cydaea she was severely injured but she was still alive I used my blade to carefully remove the clamps holding her in place and once they were removed Cydaea collapsed to the floor I quickly grabbed her before she could hit the floor "Cydaea." I said trying to get a response out of her, Cydaea slowly opened her eyes and looked up at me "...Josh..." Cydaea said voice before closing her eyes, I picked up Cydaea before carrying her out of the cage suddenly the Dragon struck the Federation transport with one of it's claws tearing a large hole in the side of the Federation transport and in that moment everything in the area was sucked through the large hole, I held Cydaea tightly in my arms and with no other options I ran towards the large hole and jumped through it causing me to be flung out of the Federation transport with Cydaea in my arms I noticed that the Dragon had heavily damaged the Federation transport and as the Dragon continued to attack the Federation transport the Federation transport began to plummet towards the ground the Dragon then flew away before I looked down and saw that I was falling towards the ground at high speed I held Cydaea tightly as I activated my Thruster Pack and used it to slow my descent I held onto Cydaea and continued to use my Thruster Pack to slow my descent after a moment I began to fall at a much slower rate until eventually I landed softly on the ground with Cydaea in my arms the Federation transport then crashed into the ground nearby before it exploded "Hopefully I don't run into any more Animals like that Dragon." I said, I looked down at Cydaea to make sure she was okay and I could see that she was still breathing I then activated my communicator "Nitro it's Josh, I have Cydaea she appears to be alright." I said "Great work Josh, bring her back to the Resistance base so we can make sure she's alright." Nitro said "Will do." I said as I contacted the pilot "Pilot it's Josh I have Cydaea and I've landed... somewhere, I need a pick up." I said "Don't worry Josh I followed the Federation transport I saw it go down I'm coming to ya hang tight." the pilot said, I deactivated my communicator as I held Cydaea in my arms eventually the Resistance transport flew overhead before landing the back door of the transport opened and I stepped onto the transport and gently set Cydaea down next to me "Lets go back to the Resistance base." I said "You got it." the pilot said as the back door of the transport closed and the transport took off, I looked down at Cydaea keeping a close eye on her to ensure she was alright I then saw her open her eyes again and look at me "...Josh..." Cydaea said "It's alright Cydaea, you're safe now." I said as Cydaea closed her eyes again, a warm smile grew on my face as the transport made it's way back towards Scotland.
