"Fuck my orders!"
Marcus Fenix stands strong against a horde of locust, nothing will stop him from saving his father even execution by firing squad would not stop him.
His father is all he has left of his blood related family.
Dust and debris form a storm at the gates of the Fenix estate, where locust careen through.
Marcus fires his lancer at the approaching drones and drops them dead, Dom cranks a mulcher machine gun at an approaching corpser.
The swaths of locust continue pouring out of their e holes forming all around the plaza and stairways, crumbling it with every shamble.
Soon reavers enter the fray and shoot missiles at the mansion, trying to collapse it ontop of the small troupe of gears.
Adam Fenix sits behind a pillar, his hand on his face in deep contemplation of everything hes done, what he has unleashed on this world because of his incompetence in stopping the lambent.
He sits in solace as explosions burst in the air around him.
"DAD GET IN THE HOUSE!"
Marcus retreats back to a nearby pillar
"No Marcus, this is all my fault I have to face the consequences of my actions!"
A whirl of wind slams into the house and queen Myrrah arrives upon her loyal tempest.
"ADAM FENIX! IT IS TIME!"
A laser tears into the house, forcing it into a cacophony of flames and ash, the western side buckles and the top of the house slides to the ground and caused dust to cover the surrounding area.
"A Raven is coming soon we have to hold her off!" Marcus screams to his father and shoots his lancer at the giant moth looking monster, they bounce off only causing small sparks.
The queen circles the building for minutes on end.
"GIVE UP, YOUR FIGHT IS IN VAIN HUMANS!"
"Myrrah stop this madness!"
Adam Fenix stomps out of his cover much to Marcus's dismay.
"The prodigal scientist reveals himself."
Myrrah lands with a great tremor.
As she hops off a raven flies in and a minigun begins spraying at the tempest monster.
The brass shell deflects the bullets, its head turns towards the raven and blasts it. The helo crashes down onto the concrete patio and burst into a blaze, the soldiers inside scream in agony as they burn alive in their metal armor.
"SHIT MARCUS THIS IS BAD!"
Dom retreats loading up the last bit of his ammo.
"Pious mortals, you can not defy a god!"
Myrrah commands her loyal soldiers forward, they surround the house and Adam Fenix is sacked and grabbed.
"NOOO!!!'
Marcus fires at the queen but his bullete deflect right off her shiny silver armor.
"Pathetic, take the man away, eliminate the rest."
Myrrah waves her hand and turns her back to the remaining cog force, the drones move in and rain down a hail of hot lead.

[10 minutes earlier, Ephyra south]

[MC]
It has been so long, it took a long time but I, the prodigal son have returned.
Atop a giant bear aswell..
"Hey, stay here and hide, I will go and get a taste of the situation"
The armored bear nods and stomps into an alley, laying behind a large trashcan.
Phew, I had some strange encounters along the way with stranded, outsiders, UIR rebels, and even kantus holdout deserters..
But those are stories for another time.
My body is wrapped in scraps of random shit.
The main body being UIR armor painted with red inlays. It's a whole other story how I got it. My helmet is an old pendulum war outsider rebel helmet I looted of a corpse. I still have the bear Cape, I have carved it and made it better though so that was nice. I got some shitty rusty sawed off shotgun as my main weapon, with a belt bandolier with double barrel speed loaders.
All in all my little adventure wasnt bad. Many stories to be told around a campfire.
[Author: Teasing side story chapters already!?!?]
..
My trusty polearm has been my favorite weapon in all this time, this thing has killed a lot of people..
Damn..
I killed alot of people..
Anyways, seems like ephyra is getting rough fucked right now by the locust offensive.
Oh right Grey..
[Tier 3 Troop: Grey: Type: Newbie Theron Guard]
That happened as well.. Another story for another time and another campfire and some marshmallows..
Grey appears by my side in light red scaled theron armor and a rusted retro lancer rifle.
"Go stay in that building and keep watch on the bear."
"Yes King."
He nods and runs into the building, breaking the glass window with his mighty legs and scaling the stairwells, he reaches the roof and signals me with a wave.
Guess it's time to do my job.
Myrrah, I'm coming for you bitch!
My blood path through the city begins with some poor bastard drones guarding an arms crate, I lop both of their heads off in one felling strike.
This is only the beginning.
No enemy in my path shall be spared, not after years of waiting for this moment and scraping together my life while wandering..
Myrrah, I can smell her.
She's here..
And so is her death.
I continue on the warpath killing and destroying every enemy in my path..
Nothing as weak as locust drones can stop me now.
My bloodlust wont be satiated until those who tortured me in that bastard hollow are strung up!

"Pathetic, take the man away, eliminate the rest."
Myrrah mounts her war beast and cackles.
Marcus screams in anger and throws everything he has to kill Myrrah, all his ammo and fast as possible but it does nothing.
"Not so fast bitch queen."
Myrrah abruptly stops laughing and a gaunt expression takes over her face in a near instance.
The large thumping of my boots drums out the gunfire, all the locusts stop in unison and turn their guns to me.
I unbuckle my helmet and toss it to the ground by my side.
"Remember me you fucking monsters?"
Myrrah gasps.
All the drones stop and let out stuttered grunts almost on queue the drones respond.
"Sp-spartan!?"
They all take up their arms, their forearms all quaking in fear.
"Marcus who the hell is that guy? How did a UIR guy get into Ephyra?"
Dom moves to Marcus's place of cover.
"I dunno Dom, but the locust seem real afraid of him, some kind of Boogeyman this cant be good for us either, load up all your guns."
I step forward and the locust tremble bbackwards, it seems my legend has spread among the hollow.
The situation only gets better, Raam glides in on a hydra.
"My Queen. Assistance?!"
He hops of the mutated reaver and looks at me with a grimace.
"You? The.. What.. Spartan.. Lambent Exterminator.. Scourge of Skorge."
Raam begins listing of names and titles, the sword in his hand growing shakier.
"Handle him Raam I need to get out of here!"
Myrrah flies off the tempest leaving afterimages.
"DAMNIT YOU COWARD!!"
That bitch just ran away without even saying anything to me?!?!
No sorry, no I just pissed myself? NOTHING?
Raam surrounds himself with kryll and slowly marches infront of me.
"To the death."
Raam states firmly, resting his hand tightly on the serrated sword that has killed 100s of innocent people.
"Ha, you arent coming out of this unmangled ye bastard."
With this reply the drones flee onto the reavers and flie off leaving me and the war general alone.
This what I survived for, an epic duel in a burning city. Something straight out of a comic book.
"Come on you ugly bastard."
Raam charges at me and the kryll fly off of him.
I raise my shotgun and blast his knee, he buckles and falls forward.
I lift my polearm and stab it into his arm, the kryll eat at me but it doesn't hurt much.
Raam grunts in pain.
"Were not done yet."
I wrench the sword out of his hand and jam it into his other arm.
"This is where it gets fun, you are a complete pussy cake compared to Skorge, can't believe you became a general.. Tch tch.."
I grab my hand onto Raams head and lift it up, he growls at me with complete hatred.
I slam his head into the ground and again, then again. Again. And Again.
You reap what you sow Myrrah, say goodbye to one of your favorite servants you fucking bitch.
I lift Raam up and he breathes weakly.
"I was saving this for Myrrah oh well."
I grab the rope up from my belt and wrap it around his neck, I throw the other looped end onto a telephone pole.
"And London bridge is falling down motherfucker!"
I let go of Raam and grab the rope and pully him up into the air, my forearms scream in pain but the choked cries of the locust give me strength.
*crack*
*snapple*
*pop*
Hahah.
Die you bitch.
I let the rope loose and Raams body drops to the floor with a thud..
"STAND DOWN NOW!"
2 gears rush from cover and point their weapons at me.
"Marcus Fenix, Dominic Santiago."
Both of their jaws drop.
"Who the hell are you?" Marcus makes an attempt at maintaining his composure.
"Oh right its been like.. A long time since I've been in Ephyra."
"Let me repeat myself, who the hell are you?"
"Sergeant Sebastion, Onyx Guard 2nd class."
"Impossible the hero of Halvo Bay? He died in the first siege of Ephyra, ripped to bits by Skorge"
Dom chimes in, still in complete disbelief.
"Well I might aswell have been dead."
"Where have you been?"
"A long ways away, I have been wandering for a while."
Marcus lowers his rifle.
"Prescott ain't gonna believe this shit."
"Yeah, if you dont get the firing squad Marcus."
Dom replies with a worried expression on his face.
"Ah shit."
A huge king raven lands and onyx guard funnel out.
Hoffman stands with a grimace.
"Marcus FENIX YOU FUCKER!"
Hoffman screams in anger.
The onyx guard surround us.
Hoffman steps off the helicopter and stares at the dead Raam.
"Who did that?"
Dom and Marcus point at me.
"Who the hell i-.. You? Your alive?"
Hoffman stares at me and smiles wryly.
"Prescott is gonna shit himself."
The onyx guard around us salute towards me.
"CHIEF LIEUTENANT!" X 8.
"Lieutenant?"
Hoffman scratches his neck.
"Well, you got a ceremonial raise in rank after facing Skorge and being identified as killing Karn."
Before I can speak Hoffman continues.
"What is that shitty armor you are wearing soldier? Take some new gear!"
He signals a man in the helicopter and the copilot vigorously looks through equipment crates. He rushes out of the helo with a fresh set of onyx armor.
"Here son."
I take the armor and hold it lithely in my arms.
"Its good to have a hero back, Prescott will sure love to hear your story, me aswell."
We all enter the helo together, Marcus in handcuffs and Dom formerly demoted to private..
In my mind I command Grey to take the bear and head out into the wilderness of Tyrus where I will meet up with them eventually..
That's taken care of time to start my career up again...
