Human : Chapter 26

I walked through the Resistance base until I reached the hangar I then walked towards the command room and I could see Nitro standing there waiting for me "Good you're here I've got your next mission ready." Nitro said "Alright what is it?" I asked "We've intercepted a Federation transmission that said that the Federation have sent a group of soldiers to Arcodia." Nitro said "Are you serious?" I asked "I'm afraid so, the Federation is no doubt trying to scavenge the technology that is in Arcodia if the Federation gets their hands on the technology that is in Arcodia they will use it against us." Nitro said "And let me guess you want me to go to Arcodia and kill those Federation soldiers." I said "Yes but that's not all I want you to do, if the Federation gets that technology they will use it against us but if we get that technology it will give us an upper hand in this war." Nitro said "So help me understand you not only want me to go to Arcodia to kill those Federation soldiers but you also want me to scavenge for the technology that is in Arcodia." I said "That's right Josh the transport will take you to Arcodia find the Federation soldiers and kill them and then gather up as much technology as you can and bring it back to the Resistance base." Nitro said, I rolled my eyes before I spoke again "Fine." I said as I began moving towards the transport, I approached the crate full of ammunition and refilled my ammo before I walked towards the transport the back door of the transport opened and I stepped aboard I then looked and could see Brian, Manticore, Belial and Linda as well as several Ghosts just then they rushed towards me and attacked me but before they could reach me the back door of the transport closed "Take me to Arcodia." I said "Sure thing Josh." the pilot said as the transport took off and flew out of the hangar before making it's way towards Arcodia.

The transport arrived in Arcodia the transport landed in a large open area the back door of the transport opened and I was about to step out but just then the pilot spoke "Once you get out I've leaving I'm not staying here in Arcodia, when you complete your mission contact me and I'll come and pick you up." the pilot said "Alright." I said as I disembarked the transport and right as I did so the back door of the transport closed and the transport took off and flew away, I then activated my communicator "Nitro it's Josh, I'm in Arcodia." I said "Alright Josh according to the Federation transmission we intercepted there are three Federation soldiers in Arcodia find the Federation soldiers and kill them and then gather as much technology as you can load the technology onto the transport and bring it back to the Resistance base." Nitro said "Okay I'll get it done." I said as I deactivated my communicator, I looked around when suddenly an Angel and a Demon appeared the Angel was large it had gold eyes and a halo on it's head it had several long tendrils with blades on the ends of them all over it's body while the Demon had red eyes and horns on it's head it had two short legs and two long arms I raised my assault rifle and fired at the Angel and the Demon I hit the Angel a few times before the Demon raised it's arms I then watched as the Demon extended it's arms and lunged them towards me I dodged the Demon's attack but just then the Angel swung it's tendrils at me I jumped to avoid the Angel's attack suddenly the Demon extended it's arms again and attempted to attack me but the Demon hit the Angel instead of me the Angel looked at the Demon before it began attacking the Demon and before long the Angel and the Demon were now attacking each other I stood there and watched as the Angel and the Demon attacked each other the Demon extended it's arms and struck the Angel while the Angel hit the Demon with it's tendrils suddenly the Angel managed to stab the Demon with one of it's tendrils the Demon roared in agony before it collapsed to the ground and disappeared I then extended my blade and approached the Angel I then plunged my blade through the back of the Angel's head I saw my blade protrude out the front of the Angel's head I then retracted my blade and the Angel collapsed to the ground and disappeared I then took a breath before I looked around.

Arcodia is a country that is rich in resources and the people that lived in Arcodia wasted no time using those resources countless factories and production plants were built all over the country and the technology that was made here was top of the line Arcodia became a hub of trade but there was just one problem there is a species of Animal that is only found in Arcodia Teracawls they are large, fast, strong and extremely aggressive they travel in large swarms and they kill any creature they come across the people of Arcodia tried to defend themselves from the Teracawls but the Teracawl swarms overwhelmed them and everyone in the country was killed all of this happened years before the Federation took over and ever since then Arcodia has been swarming with Teracawls however the technology that was made in Arcodia is still here over the years some people have come to Arcodia to attempt to get their hands on the technology that is here the key word being attempt as none of those people were ever heard from again I took a deep breath as I looked around the area.

I looked around the area and could see that there was a large factory in the distance I began moving towards the factory but then I noticed a small building nearby I walked up to the small building and opened the door and as soon as I did so a cloud of gas spewed forth from the now open door I noticed my oxygen meter appear and my helmet's visor as the cloud of gas obscured my vision I tried to see what was creating this gas and just then I saw a Hybrid sitting in the middle of the small building the Hybrid looked Human but it's torso was carved open and I could see it's lungs it's lungs were a green colour I looked at the Hybrid and could see that the Hybrid was coughing constantly I then noticed a thick cloud of gas spew out of the Hybrid's mouth every time it coughed the Hybrid then looked at me before it let out a wheezing roar the Hybrid then stood up and ran towards me I raised my assault rifle and shot the Hybrid and after a few shots the Hybrid collapsed to the floor dead I looked at the Hybrid's dead body before I looked at my oxygen meter "This Hybrid was coughing out toxic gas." I thought, I then noticed that the gas in the small building was starting to clear up the gas in the small building was going away now that I opened the door and before long the gas in the small building was gone my oxygen meter disappeared before I looked around the inside of the small building and could see that it was a storage building the storage building was empty there was no technology in the storage building I then got an idea "I can use this storage building to store any technology I find, I'll gather as much technology as I can and bring it to this storage building before going back to get more technology and when I'm done I'll call the transport to land here and then I'll just load all of the technology I have onto the transport." I thought, I turned around to leave the storage building but then I turned around and could see De'vorah, Stahl and Vex just then they rushed towards me and attacked me, I ran out of the storage building before I began moving towards the factory.

I soon arrived at the factory I approached the front door of the factory and opened it I poked my head inside and took a quick look around just to make sure it was safe and to my relief I couldn't see anything I entered the factory and gripped my assault rifle before I began moving through the factory, I moved through the factory going from room to room looking for the Federation soldiers as well as any technology the lights in the factory were on so the building still had electricity I moved from one room to the next but I didn't find any technology the corridors of the factory were empty and the rooms had nothing but empty shelves and empty lockers in them I then entered one room and looked around and I noticed a piece of technology in the room I approached the piece of technology and inspected it the piece of technology was an engine "Nice the Resistance could definitely use this." I said as I put my assault rifle away and picked up the engine I carried the engine in my hands as I made my way back to the entrance of the factory but as I was walking I looked ahead and could see a Federation soldier standing in corridor the Federation soldier was unaware of my presence I dropped the engine and was about to attack him but the engine made a loud sound as it hit the floor causing the Federation soldier to turn around and notice me "Oh shit he's here!" the Federation soldier said as he raised his assault rifle but before he could shoot I sprinted up to him and extended my blade before driving my blade into his chest the Federation soldier then collapsed to the floor dead I retracted my blade before I walked towards the engine and picked it back up I then continued moving through the factory, I eventually reached the entrance of the factory I walked through the front door and was back outside I then made my way to the storage building and once I reached it I entered the storage building and dropped the engine on the floor inside the storage building I then pulled my assault rifle out and left the storage building before I began moving back towards the factory to find the other Federation soldiers and more technology.

I soon arrived back at the factory I entered the factory again and began moving through the building I made my way through the corridors I walked past the Federation soldier I killed as I moved further into the building and as I was walking I heard a strange noise coming from somewhere in the factory I gripped my assault rifle tightly as I proceeded cautiously I turned a corner and stopped when I saw something in front of me in the corridor directly in front of me was an Animal it was large it had six legs and two claws it had two large mandibles near it's mouth it had five eyes and it's entire body was covered in a thick carapace I looked at the Animal and immediately knew what it was "Shit it's a Teracawl." I thought, my first instinct was to just shoot the Teracawl but then I thought about the noise my gun would make if I fired it if there were more Teracawls in the building they would surely hear the sound of gunfire and come towards me I didn't want that so instead I put my assault rifle away and extended my blade the sound of my blade extending alerted the Teracawl and it began running towards me "Oh fuck!" I yelled as I raised my arms and braced for the Teracawl's attack, the Teracawl jumped on me and began attacking me with it's claws I struggled to shake the Teracawl off of me but it's legs were latched onto me I then began to drive my blade into the Teracawl over and over again I stabbed the Teracawl repeatedly my blade cut through the thick carapace on the Teracawl's body the Teracawl continued to attack me as I continuously plunged my blade into it eventually I managed to stab the Teracawl enough that it stopped moving I threw the Teracawl off of me before I plunged my blade into it's head just to make sure it was dead "Fuck that was close." I said as I pulled my blade out of the Teracawl and continued moving through the factory, I kept moving through the building and as I was walking down a corridor I looked and could see a dead Federation soldier in the corridor I walked up to the dead Federation soldier it looked like his chest was torn open "Maybe he was killed by that Teracawl that I just killed." I thought, I then noticed that the dead Federation soldier was laying next to a piece of technology I inspected the piece of technology the piece of technology was a computer "Cool." I said as I picked up the computer and began walking towards the entrance of the factory, I soon reached the entrance of the factory and stepped outside I then made my way back to the storage building I entered the storage building and put the computer inside the storage building I then left the storage building and made my way back to the factory.

I arrived back at the factory and entered the factory again I moved further into the building checking rooms for the last Federation solider as well as any technology I kept my blade extended in case I ran into another Teracawl I moved through the corridors of the factory when suddenly I heard a noise the noise was muffled and I could barely hear it but it sounded like gunfire I moved towards where the sound was coming from and arrived at a door the sounds of gunfire were coming from the other side of the door I opened the door and could see a Teracawl attacking a Federation solider the soldier struggled as the Teracawl ripped him to pieces he soldier screamed as he struggled against the Teracawl the Federation soldier fired his gun sporadically in an attempt to shoot the Teracawl but it was no use the Teracawl quickly tore the Federation soldier apart and once he was dead the Teracawl turned and noticed me the Teracawl jumped at me but I closed the door before it could reach me the Teracawl slammed into the door I could hear the Teracawl clawing at the door in an attempt to get at me I then plunged my blade through the door and as I did so I could no longer hear the Teracawl moving on the other side of the door I retracted my blade before I opened the door and saw that my blade went right through the door and stabbed the Teracawl in one of it's eyes which killed it I walked through the door and looked at the dead Federation soldier "Well that's all three Federation soldiers dealt with, I'll grab one more piece of technology and then I'm outta here." I said as I continued moving through the factory but just then I thought about something "I hope those gunshots wont attract any more Teracawls." I thought, I was inside the factory and I could just barely hear those gunshots from the other side of the door although the sound of those gunshots echoed throughout the building once the door was opened if I could barely hear those gunshots from the other side of the door I imagine they couldn't be heard from outside of the factory which is good the last thing I want is to draw the attention of the Teracawl swarms, I continued moving through the building until I entered a large room I looked around the room and could see a large device on the wall I looked at the large device and could see an object inside the large device the object was cylindrical it had two metal caps on either end of it and the middle of the object was glass there was a bright glowing light coming from inside the glass I looked at the object and immediately knew what it was "A power cell this will come in handy." I said as I approached the large device, I grabbed the power cell and pulled it out of the large device and as soon as I did so all of the lights in the building turned off "Oh shit." I said as I turned on my helmet light "Alright that should be enough technology time to leave." I said as I began moving towards the entrance, I walked towards the entrance holding the power cell in my hands I moved through a corridor when suddenly something jumped on me from behind I dropped the power cell as I landed on my front I struggled to move as whatever landed on me attacked me I managed to stand up before I looked and could see a Teracawl on my back I tried to get the Teracawl off of me but it was no use the Teracawl was latched onto me I then had an idea I activated my Thruster Pack and I flew into the air I reached the ceiling and as I did so I held onto the ceiling I kept my Thruster Pack active and I could hear the thrusters burning the Teracawl that was on my back the Teracawl screeched in pain as my thrusters burned it and eventually the Teracawl let go of me before it fell to the floor dead I then deactivated my Thruster Pack and fell to the floor I then picked the power cell up off of the floor and continued moving, I kept moving through the factory I occasionally checked behind me just to make sure no Teracawls would sneak up on me again I soon reached the entrance and as I did I walked through the door and deactivated my helmet light before I began moving back towards the storage building.

I soon arrived back at the storage building I entered the storage building and put the power cell down next to the other pieces of technology I had gathered "Welp the Federation soldiers that came to Arcodia are dead and I got some technology to bring back to the Resistance base, I guess I'm done here." I thought as I exited the storage building and activated my communicator "Nitro it's Josh I'm done here." I said "You killed the Federation soldiers in Arcodia and gathered some technology to bring back to the Resistance base?" Nitro asked "Yup I'm ready to come back to the Resistance base now." I said "Alright Josh contact the pilot and he'll come and pick you up." Nitro said, I then contacted the pilot "Pilot this is Josh I've finished my mission and I'm ready for you to come and pick me up." I said "Alright Josh I'm coming to you now hang tight." the pilot said, I deactivated my communicator as I waited for the transport and as I was waiting I heard something approaching I looked up and could see a Federation gunship approaching "Shit that must be the Federation gunship that brought those Federation soldiers here, it must be coming back to pick up the soldiers." I thought, it didn't take long for the gunship to notice me and within moments the gunship began firing at me I ran behind the storage building to avoid the bullets coming from the gunship I then pulled out my sniper rifle before I emerged from behind the storage building and aimed at the cockpit of the gunship I aimed right at the pilot of the gunship and fired and I saw the pilot of the gunship's head explode as the gunship fell and crashed into the ground before erupting into a massive explosion I stood there staring at the wreckage of the gunship as I knew exactly what was about to happen "Oh shit, there's no way the sound of that explosion went unnoticed." I said and sure enough within moment I could feel the ground begin to shake and I heard noises coming from all around me I looked around and could see massive swarms of Teracawls coming towards me from all directions "Oh fuck!" I yelled as I watched the Teracawl swarms approaching me, I panicked as I saw the uncountable amount of Teracawls coming at me I needed to get out of Arcodia now but the transport hadn't arrived yet I then shook my head as I knew what I had to do I used my Thruster Pack to get onto the roof of the storage building I then put my sniper rifle away before I pulled out my machine gun and held my machine gun in my right hand I then pulled out my rocket launcher and held my rocket launcher in my left hand I now had to fend off the Teracawl swarms until the transport arrived I took a deep breath and prepared to defend myself against the horde of Teracawls.

I looked at the approaching Teracawl swarms and it didn't take long for the Teracawls to reach me as within moments I was overwhelmed with Teracawls I used my machine gun and my rocket launcher to kill as many Teracawls as I could I fired in all directions as I slaughtered the Teracawls the Teracawls were coming at me from everywhere and I killed them as they got close I gunned down hundreds maybe even thousands of Teracawls but they just kept coming when my machine gun and rocket launcher ran out of ammo I switched to my assault rifle and my flamethrower and when my assault rifle and my flamethrower ran out of ammo I switched to my submachine gun and shotgun as I continued to hold off the Teracawl swarms, I held off the Teracawl swarms for what seemed like hours every time one of my guns ran out of ammo I switched to another gun I continued slaughtering the Teracawls there was a sea of dead Teracawls around me and they just kept coming eventually I saw the transport fly overhead just then my communicator activated and I could hear the pilot "Josh I'm here but the area is crawling with Teracawls I can't land." the pilot said "Just hover above me and open the door!" I said, the transport then began to hover just above the storage building and I saw the back door of the transport open I then extended my blade and cut a large hole into the roof of the storage building I then dropped into the storage building and I grabbed the first piece of technology I had gathered I then used my Thruster Pack to fly up to the transport and once I landed in the transport I dropped the piece of technology before I went back for the other pieces of technology I jumped out of the transport shooting any Teracawls that got too close before I landed back inside the storage building I then grabbed the second piece of technology before I used my Thruster Pack to fly up to the transport and drop the piece of technology inside of it I then jumped out of the transport one final time as I landed in the storage building I gunned down and Teracawls that were too close to me before I grabbed the final piece of technology I then used my Thruster Pack to fly up to the transport I landed in the transport and dropped the piece of technology "Alright that's everything get us back to the Resistance base." I said, the back door of the transport closed and the transport flew away from the horde of Teracawls I then took a deep breath "Fuck me that was insane." I said before I reloaded all of the guns I had used to fend off the Teracawl swarms, I then put my weapons away as the transport made it's way back to Scotland.
