Chapter 1: The Beginning of the End of the Beginning

The year is 2007. The Apocalypse has had an apocalypse. The world has been devastated by nuclear bombs. As regular human soldiers began to run thin, the government has turned to making cyborgs; or more common known as “Cyber-Commandos”.

Now, a rouge colonel, Col. Sloan, has taking control of a battalion of the new Mark V Cyber Commandos and is planning to saturate the world in blood dragon blood. Sgt. Rex Power Colt and Lt. T.T “Spider” Brown, veterans of Vietnam War II and the last surviving Mark IVs, are sent to remove him from power.

As their copter approached Sloan’s island, they began to go over their plan again.

“Alright, here’s the plan,” Spider said, “You’re going to mow down any dumb sucka standing outside from the chopper. After a nice gun-down, we’re gonna disembark from this thing. I’m gonna silently sneak in while you clear any damn tin can left on the base.”

“Sounds like a plan.” Rex said, commandeering the turret on the starboard side of the copter. As the base came into range, he let loose on the turret, mowing down any cyborg he saw. After a few cycles around the base and a couple dozen explosions later, the base was fiery inferno.

“Alright Rex, this it. Get your shit ready, we’re going in.”

“Hey, I got my shit together. What about you ‘Tyrone’?”

They both laughed as another explosion went off in the base.

“You all soul, brotha, all soul.”

They both locked hands and flexed.

“MARK IV STYLE MOTHA FUCKER!”

Spider then bailed out of the copter into the base below. Rex jumped out near the outskirts of the base. He made sure his gear was ready, his shuriken sharpened, his pistol loaded, and his sniper sighted.

“Hey Rex, I’m the base. Oh, and one more thing. HUD, activate tutorial protocol.”

“Yes Lt. Brown. Activating tutorial protocol 1A.” buzzed a voice in Rex’s head. Soon, he lost control of himself, unable to move.

“God DAMNIT, Spider. Let me go kill people!” Rex growled.

“HAHAHA, have fun Rex!”

After a several minutes of completing condescending tutorials, Rex finally infiltrated the base. He snuck up behind two cyborgs, impaling one with his sword and tossing a shuriken at the other. He then took cover behind a jeep. The base was surprisingly active after the attack from the helicopter.

Rex pulled out his Kobracon and peered down its scope, observing the overwatch in the tower. He tagged it before tagging the base patrols. After tagging all the enemies on the base, he sniped the overwatch before pulling out his A.J.M and popping anyone investigating the sound of the gunshot. He soon then pulled out his Fazertron and began to run-and-gun the rest of the base.

After the base was clear, he reloaded his weapons, finishing with pistol; blowing some of the smoke off the barrel of it. “Damn I’m good.”

“REX,” Chimed Spider over the radio, “I found something, something big!”

“Is it the rockets?”

“No, it’s something bigger. It’s like a portal or something.”

“Shit man, nobody said anything about portals or some shit.”

“Shit, Rex. Sloan’s here. He has some glowing vial of something.”

“Hold on Spider, I’ll be there in a minute.”

“Rex, he’s doing something with the vial. He’s… He’s throwing it in! SHIT, REX, WE NEED TO-.” Then suddenly, static.

“Spider? SPIDER? SPPPPIIIIDDDEEERRRR?!?!?” Rex yelled.

Soon, a bright light soon engulfed the entire island.

When the light subsided, the Island was bare.
