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 me and Skitter carried all of the loot we had managed to grab into the Resistance base the back door of the transport then closed as me and Skitter dropped all of the loot off near the command room Skitter then walked away as I walked into the command room where Nitro was waiting "Good you're both back, I've got you're next mission ready Josh." Nitro said "Alright what is it?" I asked "Given your recent string of success it's possible that we run the risk of attracting the attention of the Federation fleet." Nitro said "The Federation fleet?" I asked "Yeah the Federation have a large fleet of space ships." Nitro explained "Fucking shit." I said "Yeah so you can probably imagine that we don't want to draw the attention of the Federation fleet so with that in mind I want you to go to Ckyuca in Levysi the Federation have a massive fuel tower there that they use to refuel their fleet during the fleet's visits to Earth go to Ckyuca find the fuel tower and destroy it." Nitro said "Don't you think doing something like that would almost certainly attract the attention of the Federation fleet?" I asked "Well I've thought about it and I'm fairly certain that destroying the fuel tower will actually have the opposite effect, without the fuel tower the Federation fleet will have no way to refuel their ships during their visits to Earth so destroying the fuel tower should keep the Federation fleet away from Earth." Nitro explained "That makes sense I guess." I said "Not to mention that if you pull this off you'll strike a huge blow Federation's fuel supply." Nitro added "Right." I said "Just get inside the fuel tower and set off an explosion near any of the main fuel pipes the resulting explosion should do the rest." Nitro said "Alright I'm on it." I said before turning around and leaving the command room, I walked towards the crate full of ammunition and refilled my ammo before I approached the transport the back door of the transport opened and I step aboard the transport and sat down the back door of the transport then closed before I spoke "Take me to Ckyuca in Levysi." I said "You got it Josh." the pilot replied before the transport took off and flew out of the hangar and headed towards Levysi.

The transport soon arrived in Levysi and landed just on the outskirts of Ckyuca the back door of the transport opened and I stepped off of the transport the back door of the transport then closed I then noticed a massive tower in the city "That must be the fuel tower." I said before I activated my communicator "Nitro this is Josh, I've landed and I'm ready to begin." I said "Alright the fuel tower is in the city you can't miss it." Nitro said "Yeah I see it." I said "Get in there and blow that tower sky high." Nitro said "I'll get it done." I said as I deactivated my communicator and entered the city.

I entered the city and immediately noticed the vast amount of Federation soldiers in the city I quickly moved into a nearby alley to avoid being spotted, I moved through the alley until I came to the end I poked my head out and looked around I noticed that I was at an intersection and there were only a few soldiers around I quickly emerged from the alley and ran down the street when no one was looking until I ran into another alley I ran to the other end of the alley and just when I was about to leave the alley I heard a sound from behind me I turned around to see what it was and just then I saw a Hybrid walk out of a door in the alley, the Hybrid looked Human but it was covered and spikes it wore some kind of respiratory device on it's head and on it's right arm was some sort of nozzle the Hybrid turned to look at me before letting out a wheezing roar it then shot flames at me out of it's nozzle "Shit!" I said as I dove behind the dumpster to avoid the gout of flame "Another fucking Hybrid." I thought as I poked my head out to get a better look at the Hybrid before I emerged from cover and raised my assault rifle before firing into the Hybrid's head and with a few hits the Hybrid collapsed to the ground dead "Fuck." I said as I let out a quick sigh before walking out of the alley.

I walked out into the street and kept moving towards the fuel tower and after awhile I noticed that I had arrived at the fuel tower I looked up at the colossal tower before me "Wow." I said before I looked around and noticed several Federation patrols around the fuel tower I also noticed what looked like three artillery cannons surrounding the fuel tower "This place is well defended." I said before gripping my assault rifle and turning back towards the fuel tower "Well that won't bother me, time to light this place up!" I said as I ran towards the fuel tower and started shooting any Federation soldiers that I saw, I managed to kill a few soldiers before the rest realized what was happening and began shooting back I ran towards the fuel tower as the fight went on I killed more soldiers but just then one of those four legged Robots emerged from a nearby street the four legged Robot approached me before firing at me I did my best to avoid it's shots before I eventually reached the fuel tower and approached a door with a keycard reader next to it I pulled out my keycard and slid it through the reader and as the door opened I put my keycard away before running into the fuel tower.

I entered the fuel tower but right as I did so the four legged Robot fired several rockets at me I quickly jumped away from the door before the rockets collided with the door causing the doorway to collapse I looked back at the doorway only to see that it was completely buried under a huge pile of rubble "Won't be able to get out that way now." I said as I turned around and began running through the fuel tower, I ran down the corridor that I was in until I reached another door I opened it and stepped through only to find myself standing in a massive circular room with several large fuel pipes coming out of the walls and traveling upwards towards the top of the fuel tower, the fuel pipes were too high up for me to reach but I did notice what looked like a metal walkway that led to the fuel pipes near the top of the fuel tower I also noticed several Federation soldiers in the room I was currently standing in they looked at me for a moment before they all stopped what they were doing and attacked me I raised my assault rifle and fired at the soldiers in the room I took them out one by one I then pulled out a grenade and was about to pull the pin on it before I thought about something "I definitely don't want to destroy this place while I'm inside of it, I'd better save this for when I'm ready to blow this place up." I though before putting the grenade away and simply firing at the remaining soldiers killing them, once the room was clear I reloaded my assault rifle and looked around until I noticed a large metal container sitting in the corner of the room I walked up to it and opened it and inside was some kind of device and a document I put my assault rifle away before walking up to the document and picked it up and started reading "Grapple Hook attach to wrist, uses a durable wire to extend and retract use to pull objects and to access hard to reach areas." the document read "Grapple Hook huh, sounds useful." I said as I dropped the document and picked up the device before placing it on my suit's left arm just then the device attached itself to my suit's left arm a message then appeared on my visor "Grapple Hook installed." the message read "Cool." I said before walking out of the metal container, I then looked up and had an idea "I could probably use this Grapple Hook to reach the top of the fuel tower." I thought but just then I looked ahead and could see Brian standing in front of me just then he rushed towards me and attacked me, I quickly raised my left arm and aimed it towards one of the walls of the fuel tower above me I then thought about using my Grapple Hook and just then a small hook attached to a wire shot out of the device on my suit's left arm and attached itself onto the wall I then thought about retracting my Grapple Hook and sure enough the device began pulling the wire back into itself while the hook was still attached to the wall just then I felt myself lift off of the ground as my Grapple Hook lifted me up towards where the hook had landed and before long I reached the spot and hung there "Awesome." I said as I looked up and could see the fuel pipes near the top of the tower I then noticed that it wasn't a metal walkway that led to the fuel pipes it was a metal gate the completely blocked the fuel pipes from the lower area of the fuel tower "Well shit so much for that plan." I thought before looking over and noticing a small platform attached to the wall with a door on it, I let out some of the Grapple Hook's wire before I swung myself back and forth until I swung towards the platform and detached the hook from the wall and landed on the platform I then retracted my Grapple Hook before approaching the door, the door had a keycard reader next to it I slipped my keycard through the reader and the door opened I then stepped through the door and found myself outside of the fuel tower standing on a metal walkway I looked around and could see that the metal walkway led up towards the top of the fuel tower "Just gotta keep going up I guess." I thought as I started ascending the tower but just then I heard sounds coming from below I looked down and could see that four legged Robot from earlier the Robot aimed it's rocket launchers at me before firing several rockets "Oh fucking shit!" I said as I quickly ran up the metal walkway but just then the rockets collided with the metal walkway which caused it to collapse I felt the metal walkway beneath me give way and I fell towards the ground "Shit!" I said as I desperately tried using my Grapple Hook to catch the wall of the fuel tower but I only managed to grab a broken piece of the metal walkway that was falling I then tried to use my Thruster Pack but it was too late I hit the ground.

I struggled to stand as I looked up and could see the four legged Robot approaching me I slowly rose to my feet before standing "You fuckers are becoming annoying." I said as I used my Thruster Pack to jump onto the four legged Robot I then positioned myself right in front of the red eye in the center of it's body I then extended my blade and drove it into the eye of the four legged robot I then ripped the red eye out of the Robot and the Robot collapsed to the ground I then jumped off of the now destroyed Robot before I dropped the Robot's red eye I then retracted my blade before I looked around and tried to figure out what to do now "I can't get back into the fuel tower with all of that rubble blocking the door." I said, I thought about using my Thruster Pack or my newly acquired Grapple Hook to reach the top of the fuel tower but then I noticed one of the artillery cannons nearby "Maybe I could use that." I said as I began making my way towards the artillery cannon.

I arrived at the artillery cannon and as I approached a door at the base of it an Angel appeared the Angel had gold eyes and a halo on it's head it wore golden armour and it had a large sword in it's hand the Angel swung it's large sword at me I jumped to avoid it's attack I raised my assault rifle and fired at the Angel the Angel swung it's sword at me again but I managed to evade it I then rushed towards the Angel before extending my blade and cutting one of the Angel's legs causing the Angel to fall I then drove my blade through the Angel's head and with that the Angel collapsed to the ground before disappearing I then looked at the door leading into the artillery cannon and I could see that it had a keycard reader next to it I walked up to the door and slid my keycard through the reader and the door opened I then entered the artillery cannon once inside I turned around to close the door behind me so that nobody would sneak up on me while I was using the artillery cannon and that's when I saw several Ghosts standing just outside the artillery cannon just then they rushed towards me and attacked me, I quickly closed the door before turning back around inside the artillery cannon was a metal staircase that led up I walked up the metal staircase until I reached another door I opened it and entered a large room with an artillery cannon inside that was looked like it was being fed ammo with a large belt there was also a large window that allowed me to see outside I then noticed a chair next to the artillery cannon the chair had a computer on it and there was a soldier sitting in the chair I slowly began to walk up to the soldier before he suddenly turned around and saw me I then quickly extended my blade and sliced the soldier's head off before he could react I then inspected my blade "This thing is awesome." I said before retracting my blade and tossing the soldier's dead body out of the chair before I sat in it I looked at the computer and could see the controls for the artillery cannon I then looked through the large window and could see the area outside of the artillery cannon I then took control of the artillery cannon and began to aim it at one of the other two artillery cannons "Let's take you out first." I said as I aimed at one of the artillery cannons and pressed the fire button on the computer and once I did so the artillery cannon fired and I watched as the shot collided with the other artillery cannon destroying it, I then turned the artillery cannon towards the second artillery cannon and noticed that the second artillery cannon was also turning to face me "Oh no you don't." I said as I aimed at the second artillery cannon and fired I watched as the shot collided with the second artillery cannon and destroyed it "Now to take out this fuel tower." I said as I turned to face the artillery cannon towards the fuel tower but just then a Demon appeared the Demon was huge it's body was thin it had a large torso and the lower half of it's body was out of view it's arms were long and it's hands were big with sharp claws on the end of each of it's fingers it's head was huge it had no eyes just a giant mouth filled with large sharp teeth it had six horns on it's head and on the Demon's head, hands and chest was a large hole the Demon was just outside on the artillery cannon that I was in the Demon screeched before it raised one of it's arms in an attempt to strike me "Oh shit!" I said as I quickly aimed at the Demon and began firing at it I shot the Demon with several shots from the artillery cannon the Demon recoiled from each shot that hit it and eventually I managed to hit the Demon enough times that the Demon collapsed to the ground and disappeared "Fuck." I said as I aimed the artillery cannon at the fuel tower, once I was aiming directly at the fuel tower I stared firing at the fuel tower I fired at the fuel tower over and over again, several explosions erupted from the fuel tower as I continued firing at it until eventually a massive explosion erupted from the fuel tower I then watched as the fuel tower began to crumble before completely falling apart and collapsing to the ground "Scratch one Federation fuel tower." I said as I stood up and walked out of the artillery cannon.

I walked back out into the street and looked around at the scene of destruction suddenly I saw Linda standing in front of me just then she rushed towards me and attacked me, I ran from her to avoid her attack before I looked back and saw that my Mom was no longer there I took a deep breath before activating my communicator "Nitro it's Josh, the fuel tower has been destroyed." I said "Outstanding Josh, come on back to the Resistance base and I'll have you next mission for ya." Nitro said "Will do." I said as I contacted the pilot "Pilot it's Josh, come and get me." I said "Alright Josh I'm coming to ya." the pilot said as I deactivated my communicator, before long the transport flew overhead before landing nearby I walked up to the transport and the back door of the transport opened I stepped aboard the transport and sat down as the back door of the transport closed "Let's go back to the Resistance base." I said as I sat down "You got it." the pilot said as the transport took off and made it's way back towards Scotland.
