Armageddon Rise Of The New World Order

by Anthony Santora

  Nathan gave Anthony an intense foreboding look. Anthony just sat back and cocked his head as they both laughed.

  Later Anthony left and headed for his tent. Nathan finally crawled in the back and went to sleep with Beast already fast asleep.

  Reyes and his convoy had just pulled over when the rain started. Franks said."I can't see a damn thing!" Reyes turned to his signals team. "How far?" The signals operator looked at his computer. "6.25 miles west"

  Reyes thought for a moment then got on his communicator."We'll wait a few hours so we know their asleep this rain should slack off some by then."

  Three and a half hours later it was still pouring. Reyes spoke into his communicator again. "Put your ponchos on and meet in the tree line. Drivers stay with your vehicles" Reyes let his thumb off the transmit button then turned to Franks. "Except for you." he motioned to the back. "One of them can stay let's go."

  Ten soldiers knelt and crouched in the mud as Reyes prepared to give them their orders. Franks spoke up, "I can barely see anything it's raining so hard visibility is bad tonight Sarge."

  Smalls eager to shoot something looked at Franks with a look that plainly said shut up, then he yelled over the rain."MORE COVER." Reyes loudly chimed in as he adjusted the hood on his poncho. "I agree more cover. We're going to fan out no more than five meters apart I don't want to lose anyone in this weather. No one takes action unless I say so. Understand?"

  Everyone answered."Affirmative, 10-4 and roger that." Smalls just smiled.

  Silent and swift Reyes and his men made their way through the rain, trees and mud while communicating with hand signals. The sound of the rain crashing through the trees covered any sound they made combined with their digital camouflage gore-tex ponchos made them nearly invisible. A few hours later Reyes and his team found the creek. They crossed just south of the camp site and slowly began edging their way towards it. The rain fell so hard it was difficult for the soldiers to see 5 feet in front of them. As Reyes approached the edge of the clearing he could see tents in front of him and could barely make out the two vehicles through the rain. Reyes stopped Franks and Smalls at his side. He then pointed to Smalls then to some team members and signaled them to circle to the other side of the camp. Smalls nodded and lead his team into position. Reyes pulled Franks and the other soldiers close and whispered. "Check the tents, if you see anyone with a weapon cut their throats."

  Franks eyes got wide. Reyes whispered aggressively."Move!"

  The five silently made their way towards the tents. Franks jittered nervously as he slowly unzipped the first tent he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a little girl sleeping soundly, soon his premature calm was interrupted by a blood curdling scream as she woke up.

  * * *

  Beast barked furiously while Nathan was already moving. He kicked the door open and jumped out forty-fives drawn. His first sight was Franks and another soldier standing by the tents with rifles ready. Franks went to throw his hands up but wasn't fast enough as his partner lifted his rifle at Nathan. Nathan dove to the side while releasing a blaze of gun fire at the two soldiers. Immediately shots emanated towards Nathans position. Although they clearly couldn't see him they still posed a threat, Nathan ran for the woods. Once there he heard the little girls scream stop suddenly cut off through the hail of gun fire. Nathan growled through his clenched teeth, "No!!!"

  A fury from beneath the surface surged through Nathans body like fire, he ran along the treeline looking for his new enemies. Nathan saw two soldiers behind a tree shooting at Nathans previous position by the suburban. Nathan unloaded the rest of his clips one into each soldier, he then dropped his forty-fives and reached for the two pistols under his arms. Before he could grab them a soldier shot out from behind a tree to Nathans left. Nathan instinctively rolled forward and came up directly in front of him with both short swords drawn and piercing the soldier’s neck nearly decapitating him. Nathan retracted his swords and began to move. Almost immediately he came upon three more soldiers. One fired as Nathan moved around a large tree. Nathan exited the other side in a flurry of swordplay kicking the rifle out of the hands of one soldier while simultaneously slicing the neck of another. He then spun around and pierced the one he just kicked. The third soldier went to hit Nathan with the butt of his rifle but missed. Nathan sidestepped, moved his swords to reverse grip while spinning around the soldier till they were back to back, his swords then entered the man’s sides as he screamed in agony. Nathan was blind in his rage as he looked for more prey.

  Across the camp Anthony was shouting to the rest of the rebels. "STAY DOWN!" Anthony grabbed cover behind Darions jeep and exchanged fire with Smalls and his group. Alexia was trying to keep everyone down while Jason and Darion were trying to determine where they fit into this. Anthony downed two soldiers when he saw Nathan cut across. Nathan met Smalls who instinctively blocked Nathans first attack with his rifle and a quick kick to Nathans stomach. Nathan staggered back, when he did Anthony shot. He hit Smalls in the shoulder dropping him to his knees. Nathan shot forward and kneed Smalls in the face. Anthony saw a soldier fast approaching Nathan but was busy reloading. "BEHIND YOU!" Nathan dove to the side just as the soldier fired mistakenly hitting Smalls as he was trying to recover. The soldier began to fire in Nathans direction but didn’t get close as a well aimed shot from Anthony pierced the man’s skull. After a moment of silence Nathan moved into the camp, amid the cries and screams he noticed beast dragging a soldier by the neck as if he was a chew toy. Nathan sheathed his swords and began checking his remaining pistols as he gave orders to his group. "Darion, you and Jason sweep west. Shoot anything that moves."

  Anthony, Darion, Jason and Alexia all looked at Nathan. He was covered in blood from head to toe despite the rain. Nathan picked up a rifle and tossed it to Alexia who was still in shock. "Get everyone together and make a perimeter." Nathan still didn’t notice the stares; he knew it wasn’t over yet. He spoke to Darion and Jason. "Start scouting west."

  Darion and Jason still stood drop jawed at Nathans appearance. Nathan jogged them back. "GO!"

  Darion and Jason took off while Alexia began to rally everyone. Nathan walked towards the woods to retrieve his forty-fives, Marcus Hainsworth was following

  "Whats going on? Who did this?"

  Nathan retrieved his pistols from the mud and began to wipe them off. "Go with the others."

  Nathan began to reload his pistols, Marcus continued. "Damn it they tried to kill us."

  Anthony had walked over and spoke to Marcus. "We can talk about this later; right now we need to ensure everyone’s safety." Marcus nodded and moved towards the others. Nathan looked over the river and spoke to Anthony while he cocked his forty-fives taking note of the dirt and grit he felt as the rounds slid into place. "We’ve got a runner, I saw him take off after I dealt with his friends, we have to catch him if we want answers."

  Nathan didn’t wait for a response, he started heading towards the creek. Anthony joined him. The waterway was flooded; Nathan and Anthony had to swim across fighting the current. Once on the other side they began running east. Nathans biggest motivation was the fear that whoever ran would get away and bring more soldiers....after hearing that little girl’s screams of dread he knew he couldn’t let anyone escape.

  * * *

  Reyes ran as fast as he could after seeing that mad man slice through three of his men. He knew he had made a mistake. He tripped and fell more than once but knew he couldn’t slow down; he had to get to the JLTV and escape. Primal fear out ran unbridled rage that day as Reyes met the two men standing guard outside the JLTV’s. He stumbled to the ground after his six mile sprint. The soldiers quickly moved to him as he tried to speak in between gasping for air.

  "Must....huh....leave...knives...he's...crazy." As Reyes crawled towards the door to the JLTV one of the soldiers asked. "Where are the others Staff Sergeant?" Reyes reached and grabbed the man’s collar. "Must....leave...now!"

  Just then a bu
llet from a 40 caliber pistol hit the soldier holding Reyes in the head, another hit the seconds scull before he even heard the first shot. Nathan walked up gasping as well, Anthony behind slightly less winded. Nathan pointed his pistols at Reyes. "I...really... hate...running."

  Nathan shot Reyes in the arm as he reached for his own pistol. Nathan then moved closer to a screaming Reyes returned his pistols under his arms, then pulled a sword out with one hand while lifting Reyes with the other. "Why are you here?" Nathan said still catching his breath.

  Reyes stuttered as he winced in pain. "I, it wasn’t...I was ordered." Nathan placed the tip of his sword to Reyes throat. "How did you find us?" Reyes again answered despite the pain surging through his body, "The, we used electronic detection." Nathan pressed the point of his sword hard enough to draw a thin line of blood. "Who else knows were here?" This time Reyes answered quickly. "No one, I swear we haven’t told anyone else." Reading Reyes’s last statement as true Nathan dragged Reyes from the road to the woods. Anthony saw what was coming and tried to stop it. "Nathan...NATHAN!"

  Nathan slammed Reyes into a tree. "I told you what would happen if you followed us.”

  Reyes was muttering "No, no." while Anthony was moving to interrupt. But it was too late; Nathan sliced Reyes neck turned around sheathed his sword and began walking towards the vehicles before Reyes blood soaked body even hit the mud. Anthony turned his head away from the sight. Nathan calmly walked to the other dead soldiers, dragged them into the woods dropped their bodies and took their weapons. Anthony had never seen his friend like this before, he was speechless.

  Nathan pocketed the pistols then turned to his friend. "I can't risk their lives over my inaction... if I have to become what I hate to protect those I have sworn to then so be it." Nathan’s words were stained with the rage still flowing thru him. After a short silence he tried to change the subject. "Let's get the trucks. The trail we entered in shouldn't be too far off." After removing any evidence from the area Nathan and Anthony each drove one of the JLTV’s back to the camp. They made sure to close up the trail behind them. All of the mud as well as the overflowing creek were no match for the JLTV’s all terrain capabilities. Once at the camp Nathan moved to Darion, Jason and Alexia who were cleaning up. Nathan got out and immediately walked to his brother. "How many of our people were hurt?" Darion shook his head. "None except for my jeep." Nathans eyes widened with hope as he was surprised by the answer. "No one?" Darion shook his head again. "Yeah, just a few bumps and bruises, thankfully everybody stayed down." In a small voice Jason tentatively said. "I think those guys were more concerned with you than with anyone else."

  "We didn't find anything to the west obviously you two did." Darion said while pointing at the JLTV’s. Nathan still thinking of the little girls screams that were stopped abruptly was making sure."Are you sure everyone is alright? No one was hurt?"

  Darion huffed at being asked the same question three times. "No, no one it’s like Jason said when we looked out of the tent all of those guys were trying to find you. They were too occupied to worry about anyone else. Anthony got some of their attention, but most of them were busy trying to get to you."

  Just then Marcus walked up much calmer than before."Did you find anyone?" Nathan looked at Anthony for a second and then answered. "Yes, they have been dealt with nobody knows we’re here, still from now on we set a watch. Two people at all times" Marcus paused a moment then asked. "Uhh…What do you want us to do with the bodies?" Everyone stopped Nathan met eyes with Alexia who was still in shock at her brother’s efficiency in killing. Nathan's first thought was to throw them in the creek but that was too dangerous, the bodies would eventually wash up somewhere. Plus they were soldiers, no matter how misled they were. "We will bury them."

  Journal entry # 5

  I will never forget the first time I killed it was one of the worst experiences in my life. Not a day goes by when I don’t think of the people I’ve killed. They say that after a while you become numb, disconnected... that’s a lie. You can either justify it or bury the memory. How many have I killed how many more will I? Most of them were truly innocent, tainted and coerced led like the pied pipers rats.

  I accepted a responsibility to protect all of those who have decided to live free and though they fight for themselves I am the one who released them from prison, who gave them that choice these people chose by my words to join this revolution. Soon the corrupted will become the corrupters, caught in an intricate set of lies propagated by the Illuminati and their leader. Tension is building among those encamped, the Illuminati will soon learn that the American will does not bend so easily. When those who express their desire for freedom are persecuted and incarcerated unjustly we will be there to release them. Whatever reason they decide to join us whether it is because they believe what they hear from us, see from them or because they have nowhere else to go, whatever the reason they stay on my words and so I must protect them regardless the price on my soul.

  Chapter 9: Strategic Planning

  The prince was the last to enter the meeting chamber. All stood and bowed slightly to their leader, some out of respect but most out of fear. Deshad was directly behind the Prince as usual, those at the table bowed their heads to the assassin as well....all out of fear.

  The Prince was quick to make his authority known. "I see our new representative from Russia has joined us today." The replacement to Volkov stood and bowed. "I am honored my lord." The Prince nodded then turned his attention to the rest of the table. "Progress gentlemen, where are we?"

  The Princes First Lieutenant, Garrett answered. "With the exceptions of Russia and South America all is going as planned." The Princes expression let Garrett know that he wanted more information. Garrett obliged. "Russia is well on the way to falling in line; the people of South America are proving to be more resistant to the agent than expected."

  The Princes eyebrows rose. "More resistant?" Garrett answered. "Only slightly my lord, they are still dying by the thousands every day." The Prince nodded and moved to a different matter. "How are the people responding, have there been any revolts yet?"

  All those in the room turned to look at the others, each surprised at the silence. Garrett had nothing to report himself. "Sir other than the expected small groups of people hiding or looting we haven’t had any incidents to report. Russia is well on the way to order and both North America and Asia are..." Garrett paused for effect " ... cooperating."

  The Prince looked to Cho Xuan Zhou the former leader of China, now in charge of all Asia. Zhou nodded and spoke through a very thick accent. "There is very little dissention my lord."

  After a moment the largest man in the room mulatto Damier Silva spoke with his deep baritone voice. "I think we were expecting a little more resistance than we have received sir."

  The Prince smiled. "Gentlemen the Illuminati have been preparing this long before our grandparents were even a glimmer in the minds of their parents. The very structure of society the family unit, the banking and economic system the conflicts of the world have all been to our design. Do not be surprised at the ease by which the lamb is led. Just prepare for the ones who would fight against what we have created. Individual problems should be dealt with quickly and efficiently. Do not let groups be formed against us eliminate them immediately and the world will make a smooth transition into what we have created." All in the council nodded the Prince asked. "Are there any other issues we need to be aware of, anything at all do not be afraid to speak up for this is the most important time in our history and nothing can afford to be missed."

  Everyone shook their heads trying to think of anything of relevance. Gordon Smith director of the United Kingdom did think of something. The former British Prime Minister asked the Prince. "The weather sir, it’s been a bit rough as of late
." With that statement a few others chimed in. The new Russian leader spoke. "It has been getting much warmer at my home."

  Zhou spoke next. "We have had several earthquakes and tsunamis in the past few months, the largest only registering a two; small but still that many is unusual."

  Garrett was scratching his chin. "Now that the subject is up we had a small hurricane hit Florida, no major damage but we are months out of season. We have also had snow reports all along the south."

  The Prince fully aware of the global climate changes thought for a moment on how to address the issue. "The world is changing in many ways. This has happened before and is of little consequence at this time. Humanity will survive these changes; it is our job to ensure that the society that is left is the one we have created. Use whatever methods you need, global warming, religious dogma whatever it takes to make your people trust you. Give support when needed, do whatever is necessary to ensure our control but do not let our enemies to gather. Strike down all who would oppose us quickly and the old world will be but a memory. The sooner we can get the masses to accept the New World Order the sooner we can repopulate our cities and reignite the global economy.... We will succeed gentlemen...at any cost."

  With that the Prince stood up and all stood up with him. He nodded, they bowed and the Prince left, Deshad and Garrett in tow. All proceeded to leave. Damier Silva thought to himself about the climate changes in the world, he thought about the many prophecies over the centuries, he thought about the book of Revelations.

  It was after dawn before the work of burying the dead was done. Anthony and the others had gone back to camp to get some much needed rest. Nathan was alone at the creek, crouching down he let the cold water wash the dirt and blood from his clothes and body, he watched the red tint on the water glisten in the morning sun; thinking about last night, thinking about Kayla wondering if he had made the right decisions. Nathan stood up and wrung out his shirt looking down the creek to the rising sun.
