back, the past is only a picture
A prisoner in the future, and cannot progress
Stuck there, and doing completely nothing
She sheds tears from her innocent eyes
Nothing she can do to get it back together
A disjointed relationship, an evolution of personality
Hope is no more, and will never be
Cold, the rain water is
But it matches the same temperature as her heart
Unidentified (Mission VIII)
Two days have passed, Angela returns to her focused side
Not completely healed, still damaged, but in control
She's on a Chopper to Redingville, one of the bigger Bloodhounds' territories
Using a X-86 and G7, dawn time
Being dropped, there are only fears in the soldiers’ eyes that are on board with her
The whole area is another suburban region
There are eight houses per row, and there are ten rows
More other houses surrounding the ten rows
With a giant entry gate near to the tenth row
Angela is landing behind the first row of houses to get some cover
There are soldiers dying, medics trying to calm them down
Soldiers are completely outnumbered, and trying to fight their way to victory
Hectic firing and battle is going on, something she's used to seeing
Angela and with the group of more soldiers are the reinforcement
They all fight their way to take over the region
It's constant, ducking, shooting, and ducking
The scale of the battle has to be the biggest she experienced
Ten minutes straight the battle lasted
All of sudden, multiple large, unidentified meteor like objects
Are landing on the middle of the road between the two rows of houses
Everyone stops fighting, observing what's in these pods
Within six seconds, there are creatures
Free from their transporting meteor like pods
Looking likes deformed monsters, but they are small
Lizard like, skin color is red, and hostile attitude
Ellie warns everyone around her, they’re looking for a fight
Everyone all focuses on the creatures instead of the ongoing war
There are around like thirty of them coming out of their colossal pods
More pods are coming down
And about in a few seconds, the humans are outnumbered
Bigger sizes of them later on came into action
Sustaining damage substantially than the smaller ones
It didn't take the Confederacy too long; the excessive amount of creatures is suicide
Desperately trying to evacuate out of Redingville
The base that was part of the Bloodhounds will be no more
An ample of pods have landed in the area, it's over for them
A New Enemy
Another two days have passed and
War is no longer just the Confederacy and the Bloodhounds
Creatures or aliens are here to kill any human flesh they see
No accurate reasons why they're here
It didn't take them too long to take over Redingville
More places they also took over, both are former Confederacy and Bloodhounds
A new enemy has joined the battle
The Confederacy have gathered resources from their enemy during the invasion
Voracious creatures they are, they are now called Enthragas
Enthragas have five different forms of themselves:
One is the Swarmer, primarily small and weak, always in masses
Second is the Assailant, much bigger in size, efficient in combat, tougher to kill,
And they seem to travel in smaller groups
Third is the Seeker, the only flying Enthraga type, fast, and shoots fire bolts from their mouth
Fourth is the Brute, bulky and physically powerful, aggressive and heavy resistance
Fifth is the Guardian, they stand fifty feet tall, and they are the most feared Enthraga variant
All the names are done from the survivors' experiences
And the problem only gets worse with more rivalries
Descension (Mission IX)
Sun’s shinning, and it’s her time on another rescue mission
On to Hardver, the city’s descending
Known for its unique architectures and building design
Citizens and Confederate troops need to be rescued
Advancing to the destination alone, but with Dropships for those that need evacuation
She has never seen any war torn city like Hardver
Buildings are collapsed; ruined by the warfare
Confederacy, Bloodhounds, and Enthragas, fighting and dying
Soon, she’ll be on foot on the battlefield
Her pilot is about to land, she pulls out her ARSM-26
She sees a Bloodhound Trooper abusing a woman
Going for the shot on him
She hit him in the stomach, his buddies are aware of company
Landed on the floor, immediately whips out her trusty rifle
And start going to town
Fighting a group of Troopers wasn’t something new to her
Easily taken down by her aim and taken some damage, but none crucial
She comes up to the lady, telling her to go to the Dropship
The lady tells Angela that her son and daughter are trapped at a small grocery store
Localizing to the right of her, all the way down the lane
Angela sees a group of Bloodhounds and Enthragas fighting
She can’t tell who’s particularly winning the fight
Hearing footsteps, she’s met with some Assailants from the corner
Four of them, aggressive and hostile
She shoots one of them, but its moving fast while walking on the building to her right
She dashes her way back, her blade is going to do some affliction
Kills three of them, the other one runs back to its corner
Equipped with her rifle and she hears loud footsteps
She sees her first appearance of a Brute
It has black and red skin, looking like a deformed mammoth
Spikes around its mouth and chin, and two large red eyes
She shoots at the creature every time it rushes at her, shooting at its back
After wasting a plentiful amount of bullet, Angela doesn’t think her rifle can take it out
The blade is taken out, waiting for the right time; she hops on its back
She stabs it in the eye and its yellow green blood starts splashing out
The creature is dead and Angela is back to focusing on the grocery store
Bloodhounds are falling back, a good amount of Troopers
Backed by three Leaders and two of those elite soldiers
A group of Assailants and Swarmers are trying to break in
With a toss of grenade, it damaged most of them, but she finishes the remaining easily
Now it’s the Bloodhounds turn to get hurt
A sniper headshot kills on one of the elite soldier
Another grenade has been tossed, taking out a couple of more enemies
She’s charging with her rifle, going on a killing spree with her Enhanced Armor
Taking damage, and losing a lot of shield power, but she’s confident of surviving
The remaining elite soldier attempting to throw a frag at her, but she shoots it
Impacting the grenade and himself
Just a few more and she’s done killing
She sees the group of civilians that are tied, she freed them
The daughter and son asks her about their mother
Leading the location of the dropship, they start running to her
All the other citizens did the same
Angela continues to do her mission to save marines and civilians
Aft
er doing six of them, she has one more task she needs to do
Three Vanguards are ordered to take down the remaining Dropships
She eventually finds the three Vanguards through communication
In the city, and they’re moving to their destination
She sneaks up behind one of them and stabs the user through the mech
Both of them are on to her, one of them fires it pulse laser, she forces it back
Finishes the second off with her X-86, and it’s just the third one
A combination of strafing, and shooting her X-86, she gets the last one down
It took a hefty amount of bullets, she runs to the last Dropship
Safely it’s taking off; she takes a look at Hardver
There’s no answer of what the city it will belong to
Decimation (Mission X)
A day later, the Confederacy is ready to make a full attack on Pendula
A Hive is placed in the city, if they can destroy it
Enthragas reproduction can be reduced
Disabling the signal from the Enthragas’ world to the humans
Getting Pendula, there’s one city that needs to be companied
Their locale: Chayra, a former city of the Confederacy
Angela isn't going alone in the night, five extra troops going with her
Their objective is to study the lifestyle of the Enthragas
Keeping themselves from distance and danger to their region
Their objective to destroy the Enthragas anti air turrets
They didn’t look like turrets to the Confederacy, but they’ve seen it in action
And knows what it’s capable of
She decides to use her usual X-86 with an EMD-52
They're dropped off on the sides of the city
More forests she has to go through again
The view they can see, is unexplainable
Alien textures attached to its building
No reasonable answer why they were there
The Guardian is walking around within the territory
Keeping its view from danger and any anonymous guests
Many pods they have seen, it's scattered everywhere
Inside the pod, there's movement-what’s inside is breaking out free
Some of them are hatched, heavily guarded with an ample of Swarmers and Assailants
One of her marines is scared, it’s his first mission
With the addition of being one of them or being eaten by them
Panicking and being paranoid
One of the soldiers
