I looked around as I breathed heavily I noticed that I was laying on a bed in a room I could see several pieces of medical equipment surrounding the bed I also noticed that they were all hooked up into me I then looked down at my chest and noticed that I was still wearing that Demon armour that I picked up in Hell suddenly I looked and could see several Ghosts surrounding me just then they rushed towards me and attacked me, I braced for their attack when suddenly a man wearing a white lab coat, black pants that had several pockets on them and black shoes entered the room it was clear that the man was a doctor "Hey get away from him!" the man yelled, I then looked and could see that the Ghosts were no longer there the man then approached the bed "Are you alright?" the man asked "Yeah I'm fine." I replied "Damn Ghosts always showing up at the worst times." the man said as he inspected the medical equipment surrounding me "Vital signs are stable." the man said before he looked back at me "Good to see you're alright Josh we feared we had lost you but fortunately we were able to revive you." the man said "I'm alive?" I asked "You sure are Nitro told us that you went to the Moon to destroy the Federation fleet, yesterday large pieces of metal started falling from the sky we saw something fall from the sky so a group of Resistance fighters took a transport and went out to investigate what we saw, we saw it crash into the water nearby so they started looking around there they found you on the ground near the water you were dead, you should have seen the looks on their faces when they got back here with you and your suit in the transport." the man explained "Where am I?" I asked "You're in a hospital in Mumbai in India." the man replied, millions of thoughts went through my head "I'm alive, I'm at a hospital and..." I thought when suddenly I realized something "You know Nitro?" I asked "Well yeah I'm with the Resistance this hospital is controlled by the Resistance, we mostly use this hospital to treat our Resistance fighters but we also use this hospital to help the people of the city." the man explained, I then thought of something "Where's my suit?" I asked "Your suit is being held in a storage room on one of the lower floors of the hospital." the man said "Which floor?" I asked "Twenty fourth floor, but don't go jumping out of bed I know you probably want to get back into the fight but we had to do a lot of work to patch up that wound that was in your chest and then revive you up so for now you just need to rest." the man said, I just huffed as I slumped back down into the bed "Get some rest then you can go down to the storage room and grab your suit before heading out of here." the man said as he walked towards the door and left the room, I let out a sigh as I stared up at the ceiling thinking about everything that happened before I woke up in this hospital "I destroyed the Federation Moon base, I destroyed the Federation fleet, I killed Calina, I was killed by a Demon, I went to Hell, I met Desiree and I was revived at this hospital." I thought, I then remembered what Desiree told me it was the same thing that Akasha told me Akasha and Desiree don't care about their creation all of the life in the universe means nothing to them the only thing Akasha and Desiree care about is power I assumed that the two Gods didn't care about us but hearing them say it to my face was much worst than any speculations that I could have made suddenly I began to grow angry more angry than I have ever been the two Gods of my universe told me that they don't care about their creation the only thing Akasha and Desiree care about is power the two Gods have been at war with each other for so long and they send their armies to kill each other and slaughter everyone in the universe just so that one can be victorious over the other I breathed heavily and I wanted to scream but instead I made a promise "I will kill Akasha and Desiree somehow someway I will kill the two Gods I will find a way to kill you both." I said, I then shut my eyes and relaxed as I tried to rest as much as I could.
I laid in the bed with my eyes closed when suddenly I felt the room vibrate I slowly opened my eyes and looked around but saw nothing I shrugged before closing my eyes again but then I felt the room begin to shake followed by the sounds of gunfire I quickly opened my eyes and darted my head around suddenly I heard screaming coming from outside of the room I quickly removed the medical equipment that was hooked up into me before I jumped out of bed I then walked towards the door of the room I opened the door and poked my head out and could see the area outside of the room was littered with dead bodies some were Resistance fighters others were Federation soldiers I then noticed several Resistance fighters shooting at multiple Federation soldiers "Oh shit!" I said as I quickly pulled my head back into the room "I need to get out of here." I thought just then I saw Skitter standing next to me just then he rushed towards me and attacked me, I quickly opened the door and ran out of the room to avoid him I then crouched down behind a gurney I then looked down and noticed a dead Federation soldier laying on the ground next to me I reached down and picked up his assault rifle "I'm gonna have to fight my way outta here but I don't have my suit so fighting my way outta here is gonna be tough I need to be careful." I said as gathered as much ammo for the assault rifle as I could from the Federation soldier's dead body before I peeked over the gurney and could see a door at the far end of the hall as well as several Federation soldiers approaching me I took a deep breath before running out from cover and firing at the group of soldiers as I ran towards the door, I fired the assault rifle and managed to kill one of the soldiers the other soldiers then spotted me "There he is!" one of the soldiers yelled before they all started firing at me, I ran for cover behind a nearby wall as bullets whistled past me I waited for them to stop firing before emerging from my hiding spot and firing at them and I managed to kill every soldier in the area I then quickly ran towards the door leading to the next area.
I ran through the door and entered the next area only to be greeted by the sight of more dead bodies as well as more Federation soldiers, some of the soldiers were regular armoured soldiers and some of them were light armoured soldiers with submachine guns there was also a few tough armoured soldiers with shotguns I quickly fired at the soldiers I then dove behind a nearby wall as the soldiers shot at me I then peered out and managed to kill a few of the soldiers before returning to cover to reload I then emerged to fire again more I killed a few of the soldiers before taking cover again I then emerged from cover once more to finish off the last of the soldiers and once they were dealt with I noticing a nearby door I ran up to the door and opened it I then stepped through the door and could see that I had entered a staircase I looked down only to see more soldiers ascending the stairs "Alright I'm not going that way." I said as I ran back into the previous area, I then looked around for a way out but then I saw Brian standing in the center of the area "There's nowhere left to run Josh." Brian said as he rushed towards me and attacked me, I ran from him when suddenly I looked out a nearby window and noticed a window cleaning platform suspended outside the window I raised the assault rifle and shot at the window shattering it I then ran up to the now broken window and as I did so a Demon appeared the Demon had red eyes and horns on it's head the Demon had multiple arms the Demon ran up to me and swung one of it's arms at me I dodged the attack before I raised the assault rifle and fired at the Demon and after a few shots the Demon collapsed to the floor before it disappeared I then climbed through the broken window and was now on the window cleaning platform I then approached the control panel and pulled a lever down and the window cleaning platform began to descend.
The window cleaning platform descended down towards the ground as I looked down I could see a massive Federation force outside of the hospital "Shit the Federation is throwing everything they've got at this place." I said just then I heard a sound from in the distance, I could hear the sound getting closer I then looked up and could see a Federation gunship approaching the hospital the gunship fired it's machine guns at me as I crouched down as low as I could desperately trying to avoid being hit I then stood up and turned towards the hospital and that's when I saw Belial, Stahl and Manticore standing on the window cleaning platform staring at me just then they all rushed towards me and attacked me, I quickly raised the assault rifle and shot the window on the floor I was on I then quickly jumped through the window and was back in the hospital upon entering the hospital I looked around and noticed that the area I was in looked like it was undergoing construction but before long the gunship outside fired at me again as I quickly sprinted through the area desperately trying to avoid it's fire I ran for quite awhile through the mostly empty section of the hospital until I came upon a group of Federation Robots several of the Robots were those medium sized Robots and the others were those small hovering Robots the Robots immediately opened fire on me and I jumped and dodged to avoid the incoming lasers I then raised the assault rifle and took out the Robots before continuing to run as the gunship outside pursued me relentlessly, I continued running when suddenly an Angel appeared it had gold eyes and a halo on it's head the Angel was big it wore golden armour and it had large hands and feet with massive claws on them the Angel roared at me before it swung it's arms at me I narrowly avoided the Angel's attack I raised the assault rifle and fired at the Angel to little effect the Angel then swung it's arms at me again and I barely avoided it I then ran up to the Angel and jump onto it I then climbed up to the Angel's head as the Angel desperately tried to shake me off once I reached the Angel's head I shoved the assault rifle into one of the Angel's eyes and fired the Angel screeched in agony before it collapsed to the floor and disappeared I reloaded the assault rifle before I noticed an elevator nearby I ran up to the elevator and pushed the button to call it before immediately running behind a large concrete pillar for cover, the gunship fired several rockets at me and I watched as they soared past and exploded on a wall just then I looked ahead and saw Linda standing in front of me "Are you afraid Josh." Linda said as she rushed towards me and attacked me, just then elevator doors opened and I sprinted towards the elevator as the gunship fire it's machine guns I entered the elevator and quickly pressed the button for the twenty fourth floor on the panel before immediately ducking down to avoid the barrage of bullets from the gunship the elevator doors then closed and the elevator descended "Shit that was close!" I said as the elevator descended.
The elevator soon arrived at the twenty fourth floor I gripped the assault rifle and prepared for the worst the elevator doors open and I immediately raised the assault rifle and prepared to fire but once the doors opened I saw no one I looked around the area and could see that there were no soldiers I wasted no time running out of the elevator and trying to find the storage room where my suit was being held, I turned a corner and continued to search the area but just then I saw Calina standing in front of me she had black eyes just then she rushed towards me and attacked me, I avoided her attack when suddenly a group of soldiers burst in from a nearby door there were several regular armoured soldiers along with one soldier in the front wearing strange armour and carrying a shield, I fired at the strange armoured soldier only for my bullets to bounce harmlessly off of his shield and then the other soldiers began firing at me I dove behind a nearby desk as their bullets whistled past me I then tried to think of a way out of this situation but just then a grenade landed in front of me "Oh shit!" I said as I scrambled to pick the grenade up and once I picked it up I quickly threw it back at the group of soldiers and it exploded I then slowly emerged from behind the desk and could see that the group of soldiers had been taken out by the explosion I then stood up and continued searching for my suit when suddenly I saw Vex standing next to me "I will punish you for your disobedience Josh." Vex said as she rushed towards me and attacked me, I evaded her before I continued searching for my suit.
I searched the area until I came upon a door I walked up to the door and opened it before looking inside and there it was my suit standing in the corner of a large storage room still intact a little burned around the edges but still in one piece suddenly I heard a voice coming from behind me "It's over here, be ready to fire if you see him!" the voice said, I could tell that it was more soldiers I quickly entered the storage room and shut the door behind me before approaching my suit I dropped the assault rifle and all the ammo I was carrying I then removed the Demon armour that I was wearing and dropped it on the floor I then placed my hand on my suit's chest piece my suit then opened and I climbed into my suit my suit then closed automatically I then picked up the Demon armour and attached it to my suit just then the Demon armour attached itself to my suit and a message appeared on my helmet's visor "Mute Device installed." the message read "Mute Device?" I thought, suddenly I heard voices coming from the other side of the door "It's in here." one voice said "If he doesn't have the suit killing him should be easy once we find him." another voice said just then the door slowly began to open and I immediately stood as still as I could as the door opened and I saw a group of Federation soldiers outside the storage room before one of them spoke "I'll get the suit, you all stay out here and keep a look out." the soldier said as he entered the storage room and closed the door behind him, he then walked up to me while I was still doing my best to remain still the Federation soldier had no idea that I was in my suit just then he spoke again "This is it, oh man I smell a big juicy promotion for me." the soldier said as he stared at my suit completely unaware that I was inside of it just then I reached out my arm and grabbed the soldier by the head as he immediately began to struggle I then proceeded to tear his head off before I kicked open the door and stepped out of the room I looked around and saw the group of soldiers standing before me they all looked up at me before one of them shouted "Oh fuck, it's him!" the soldier screamed I then pulled out my machine gun and killed the group of soldiers, I then switched to my assault rifle before I noticed something fly past one of the windows "What the fuck was that?" I said but just then it turned around and flew straight towards the window before crashing through and landing on the floor I then saw that it was a Hybrid the Hybrid looked mostly Human but it had a long deformed head with long arms and legs and a large tail but the most prominent feature of this Hybrid were the two large wings which protruded out of the Hybrid's back the Hybrid screeched at me before charging towards me I quickly moved out of the way to avoid it's attack before I fired into the Hybrid I managed to hit it a few times before the Hybrid turned around and charged at me again the Hybrid tried to hit me with it's tail the Hybrid lunged it's tail at me but I grabbed the Hybrid's tail as it swung and yanked the Hybrid towards me before putting my assault rifle away and grabbing the Hybrid's wings I then ripped the Hybrid's wings off the Hybrid screamed in agony as it writhed in pain before eventually the Hybrid collapsed to the floor dead I dropped the Hybrid's wings and pulled out my assault rifle "Disgusting Hybrid get out of my sight." I said before activating my communicator "Nitro it's Josh are you there?" I asked "Josh fucking shit I thought we lost you, are you alright." Nitro asked "I'm fine I'm at a Resistance hospital in Mumbai in India." I said "I know, our Resistance fighters at that hospital saw you fall from the sky before you landed in the water, what the fuck happened?" Nitro asked "Well I destroyed the Federation Moon base and then the Federation fleet showed up so I had to deal with that you'll be happy to hear that I managed to destroy the Federation fleet and kill Calina before being thrown back into Earth's atmosphere and then being killed by a Demon I then went to Hell and met Desiree before being revived at this hospital." I said "Fucking shit you were killed by a Demon went to Hell met Desiree and came back, you're one tough son of a bitch Josh I'll give ya that but we'll celebrate later we've intercepted a Federation transmission that said that the Federation is attacking Mumbai, there's a massive Federation force at that hospital trying to kill you." Nitro said "Yeah I know I've already bumped into a bunch of the Federation's soldiers." I said "Alright listen to me Josh you need to get out of there, go down to the lowest level there will be a parking garage there I'll send a transport to come and pick you up there." Nitro said "Alright I'm heading down there now." I said as I deactivated my communicator and made my way back towards the elevator.

I ran towards the elevator when suddenly a group of soldiers entered the area I was about to shoot them but then I got an idea I activated my Sonic Warfare System and as I did so I noticed that I could no longer hear anything that was happening outside of my suit the only thing I could hear was my breathing just then I could feel my suit begin to vibrate as every window in the room instantly shattered and all of the soldiers covered their ears I knew that my Sonic Warfare System was blasting them with a super loud noise after a few seconds all of the soldiers collapsed to the floor dead just then my suit stopped vibrating and I could hear again "My Sonic Warfare System must have soundproofed the inside of my suit so that I was unaffected by the excessively loud sound that it produces." I thought as I continued moving, I ran through the hospital when suddenly a large security gate started closing at the other end of the area I ran towards the large security gate but as I reached it the large security gate closed trapping me in the area "Shit!" I said, I frantically looked around until I noticed a small vent on a wall near the floor I approached the small vent and looked at it the vent was to small for me to go through with my suit on I then had an idea I activated my Disguise Device and I transformed into a small ball I then rolled into the vent I rolled through the vent until I reached the end of the vent and once I exited the vent I deactivated my Disguise Device and I transformed back into a Human "Well how about that." I said before I continued moving, I soon arrived at the elevator and pushed the button the elevator doors opened I then stepped inside and pushed the button for the bottom floor and the elevator doors closed and the elevator descended, I waited as the elevator made it's way down just then I heard Nitro's voice on my communicator "The news is talking about that hospital I can see the hospital through the live video feed it's bad Josh the Federation have more gunships coming your way... shit they opened fire!" Nitro yelled as I was immediately thrown about in the elevator as the entire building shook, I looked and could see that the elevator had stopped moving I ran up to the panel and began mashing the buttons "Come on, come on." I said but suddenly I heard what sounded like a cable snap before the entire elevator began to plummet towards the ground "Oh fuck!" I screamed as I struggled to maintain balance I then noticed a smaller panel below the elevator panel I inched my way towards the smaller panel before extending my blade and opening the smaller panel there was a large red lever inside of the smaller panel I retracted my blade and pulled the lever as I heard the sound of metal scraping against metal and could feel the elevator begin to slow down just then Nitro spoke again "Their hitting the hospital with rockets their insane their killing their own soldiers just to get at you, Josh you need to get outta there... fucking shit the whole building is coming down!" Nitro yelled, the elevator eventually reached the lowest level as the building shook violently I then pried the elevator doors open before I looked behind me and could see De'vorah standing behind me just then she rushed towards me and attacked me, I ran out of the elevator to avoid her before I pulled out my assault rifle and looked around, I looked around and could see that I was now in a large parking garage "Come on Nitro where is that transport." I thought, just then a large explosion knocked me to the ground I looked up and could see that there was now a large hole in the ceiling and something was coming through it I quickly stood up as whatever was coming through the hole landed on the floor and stood there at first I couldn't make out any distinguishable features but then whatever it was began to unfold and I could see what it was standing in the center of the parking garage was a large Robot with four large legs and a large upper body it had two arms on it's body it's right arm had a gun attached to it while it's left arm had three large blades attached to it the large Robot had a portion on it's back that looked like it had multiple gun barrels on it there was a hole in the large Robot's chest the large Robot had a medium sized head with single red eye in the center of it's head just like all the other Federation Robots I had faced the large Robot stood up before looking down at me it then let out an ear piercing mechanical noise before raising it's gun and firing lasers at me I quickly jumped out of the way of the lasers and began shooting the large Robot the large Robot then began to chase me around the area relentlessly I ran from the large Robot doing my best to shoot it while simultaneously avoiding it's lasers just then it attempted to strike me with it's blades I just barely managed to avoid the attack before the large Robot fired several rockets at me from the portion on it's back I used my Thruster Pack to avoid the rockets as they flew past me the rockets exploded on the walls and floor before I landed and just then the large Robot began to shoot fire from the hole in it's chest "What the actual shit!" I said as I dove for cover to avoid the fire once it finished burning the place I emerged from cover and ran directly towards the large Robot as it tried to hit me with it's legs but I managed to avoid them before extending my blade and cutting the large Robot in half completely separating the upper half of it's body from the lower half of it's body I retracted my blade thinking the job was done but much to my surprise the large Robot was not only still active but now it's upper and lower halves were moving and attacking me completely independent of each other "Oh come on that's not fair!" I yelled as I jumped to avoid another barrage of lasers and as I landed the lower half began to hover before the four legs started spinning around like a rotor to try and cut me I used my Thruster Pack to avoid the legs and just then the head on the upper half of the large Robot fired a large laser beam at me I barely managed to avoid it before landing but just then the upper and lower halves reconnected themselves completely reassembling the large Robot "Okay this is bullshit!" I said as the blades on the large Robot's left arm unfolded and began spinning I then took a deep breath before using my Thruster Pack to jump over the spinning blades and landing behind the large Robot before switching to my rocket launcher and shooting the large Robot in the back the large Robot barely flinched as my rocket exploded just then the large Robot began hovering in place it then started to spin it's legs in one direction while spinning it's body in the other direction while spinning it's head in the same direction that it's legs were spinning in just then the large Robot started to fire all of it's weapons at once it took everything I had to try and avoid it's attacks I got hit a few times but eventually the large Robot stopped using all of it's attacks at once and returned to using one attack at a time I then let out a deep sigh before using my Thruster Pack to jump onto the large Robot's body I then extended my blade and plunged it into the large Robot's eye before grabbing it's head and tearing it clean off of it's body I then proceeded to slam the large Robot's head into it's body over and over again causing massive damaged to the large Robot's body and after awhile I damaged the large Robot's body enough that it collapsed to the floor it was clear that the large Robot was destroyed I dropped the large Robot's head on the floor "Fucking shit, that was insane." I said as I used a first aid vial to patch myself up before switching to my assault rifle and continuing to move through the parking garage.
I soon reached the exit of the parking garage but the transport was nowhere in sight "Come on where are you." I said but just then I saw Valeria standing in front of me just then she rushed towards me and attacked me, I did my best to avoid her when suddenly a transport flew in through the exit and land a few meters in front of me I quickly ran up to the transport the back door of the transport opened and I stepped aboard before sitting down "Get me back to the Resistance base now!" I yelled as the back door of the transport closed and the transport took off and flew out of the parking garage I then activated my communicator "Nitro it's Josh I'm on the transport and I'm coming back." I said "Good to hear Josh, we'll be waiting for ya." Nitro said as I deactivated my communicator, I then looked through the window and watched as the entire hospital collapsed leaving a massive cloud of dust that covered the now burning city I took a deep breath as the transport made it's way towards Scotland as the sun began to set.
