"Platoon S to HQ, Ultimatum is attempting to breach containment."
The soldier, named Jackson, swore under his breath. His guard partner Guten stepped back from the door as they raised their assault rifles, pointing them at the sealed hydraulic doors. A heavy thudding came from behind them, and though they were tightly sealed, interlocked with a diagonal split between them maximising the strength of the entrance, it was worrying.
This was the eighteenth time this week, and they didn't like it.
Ten more soldiers seemingly manifested behind the two guards, the twelve of them all in riot gear and armed. Despite the nervousness, this was merely a precaution for them. Ultimatum hadn't been able to break containment yet, and was now more of an annoyance to them than anything. Half of them were barely paying attention.
A fatal mistake.
A major character's backstory is revealed in this short story. He will play a very important role in the future of Endzone, and hopefully, he turns out to be an enjoyable character for you all. :D
P.S. This character and his backstory was actually originally made/inspired by a good friend of mine by the name of Arkonn, and I just edited it to fit this story. Shout out to him for letting me use the idea!
