I'm trying again ok and please don't be too harsh.


The End

We had finally done it we had reached peace. Humanity had reached it's golden age of peace and prosperity. We had flying cars, the cures to all known medical diseases, we built a lunar colony, and we able to create artificial intelligence. Unfortunately we all know that peace doesn't last forever. In the year 2132 a thermonuclear warhead was launched from Russia. It's impact destination was the USA's lunar city New Eden. We weren't able to destroy the missile and because of this over 40 million people were killed. We were outraged and retaliated in the same way but instead we targeted all of Russia and launched 27 nukes at them. After that everything went to hell. Nations that didn't have nuclear weaponry used what had been named "Hellfire cannons." They would be used to launch massive steel containers that when over the targeted area would detonate and spew flaming napalm in every direction.

The worst came when we ran out of warheads and instead decided to go into the experimental weapons. America Launched the first of it's WFUs (Weapon Fabrication Units) they were capable of deploying multiple energy turrets and forming barricades. Germany and Japan were next. They rolled out there own versions except these were bulkier and slower. Russia didn't have any but had instead mounted "Hellfire cannons" on massive mobile platforms.

After 500 years of constant war Australia decided to roll out their end game project. People across the globe gave it many names but most commonly it was known as "Planet Cracker." The machine was a massive space station that fire depleted uranium at nearly the speed of light strait down into the planet. We lost many cities in this way and so we each began to build our own version of this. The USA's war known as "The Spearhead." It was a massive space shuttle powered by an unknown energy that was discovered after a particularly large solar flare. The energy was limitless and seemed to simply replicate itself.

After anther 500 years the war finally ended with the detonation of what was called the "World killer" otherwise known as a quantum warhead. It worked like a nuke but used the new self replicating energy and when it detonated it wiped out 99% of the population. The only reason anyone survived was because of the multiple bunkers across the planet.

This is where my story starts. My name is Jackson Martin and my father Dr. James Martin is a scientist that works with biotechnology and cryogenic systems. For the past ten years he and some other scientists have been experimenting with the energy that was used by the great warship "The Spearhead." They found multiple ways to use it but at a cost. They released a contagion which began to alter every creature across the globe. It's hard to describe how the animals shifted but humans began to take on animal like traits and grow fur. My father had me quarantined until further notice. He and the others tried to cure it but only made it worse and so they began the "Deathless project." It's goal was to create a single immortal being who would find a way to continue on the human race. I was decided to be that human but only because I was the only one not infected.

For years I was given injections of strange fluids into my body which made me grow faster, stronger, and all around bigger. They added multiple machines into my mind and basically turned me into a super computer. They soon found a vaccine for the contagion they had released but it was too late for them and so they gave it to me along with making me immune to all other known diseases. They then began working on a cryogenic chamber which would put me to sleep for the next one million years. They also built a semi smart AI that record everything going on outside and help me with anything. They installed a fabrication module and a recycler. They also used the energy that had been dubbed "magic" by one of the scientists as a joke and made a reactor out of it.

Finally after seven years of work they were finished. At this time I was nearing my eighteenth birthday and acctually knew what was going to happen unlike how it used to be when I was younger.

"Jackson it's time," said one of the scientists.

"Let's just get this over with," I replied as I hauled my massive eight foot body off the bed.

We slowly walked towards the cryo room. Well he walked I sort of lumbered. When we got there I ducked under the small doorway and walked over to a changing room that had my cryo suit next to it. After changing into the black skintight suit I slowly eased myself into the cryo pod. My father soon walked over.

"I'm so sorry this has to happen Jack."

"I'ts ok i'ts not your fault."

"Oh but it is," he replied to me. "We released a contagion that is changing the entire world."

"Or what's left of it," mumbled one of the many scientists in the room.

"Quiet," my father said to the other man.

"Father I understand and it is ok," I said to him. "I know I must do this and I do it gladly."

"OK son well goodnight."

"Goodnight father."

"I love you son," was the last thing I heard before the metal door clamped over my body and sealed me in.
