Highlights of War

Draco Yin, a COG soldier, is depressed by the death of his older brother Kai. D'Anthony Brown successfully convinces Draco that his brother's death wasn't his fault., and takes him to meet Chairman Turner. Who thens charge Draco with the responsibility of putting together a squad due to his upgrade to Captain rank. After having all his members, D'Anthony "King" Brown, Rain, Lance and Tom the group was named Beta Squad. The group was given their first mission to obtain the resonator, a device that will map The Hollow, the underground caverns which the Locust inhabit and later deploy the Lightmass Bomb, which will destroy the heart of the Locust forces. Fenix and his allies recover the device, but suffer multiple casualties in the process. Amidst the chaos, Draco leads the remaining soldiers through the ruins of Sera, to a mining facility, and finally into the planet’s depths.
Beta Squad succeeds in detonating the resonator, but only to shortly discover that the device failed to map the entire tunnel network. Fortunately, they discover a larger map of the network that originates from Draco Yin's old home, specifically his father’s laboratory. The group ventures to the Yin estate at North Barricade Academy, encountering heavy Locust resistance. After collecting the data, the group fights their way past Locust forces and boards a train carrying the Lightmass Bomb. Draco, Rain and King battle their way through the train, and kills Taras, the Locust general and leader of the Theron Guards, before finally uploading the data. Draco activates the bomb and he, Rain and King are rescued onto a waiting helicopter with help from Tom and Lance before the train plunges off a destroyed bridge and into the Imulsion below. Fully activated, the Lightmass Bomb launches into the Hollow, and eradicates the Locust tunnel networks.

A Brief Moment in Sera's History

With the COG army continuing to lose large numbers to Locust raids, the COG plan a counter-attack against the Locust by sending troops in Grindlifts deep below the surface to attack the home of the Locust, the Hollow. Though they suffer losses due to the leader of the Locust monks, Narrak, the human forces continue their plan. After their descent, Beta squad, consisting of Draco Yin, Aaron "King" Brown, Rain Tunamos, Jon Ray and Thomas "Tom" Kanes, later joined by Lance Coop , begun to search the Hollow and discovered that the Locust are taking prisoners, as they managed to save from imprisonment. Beta squad finds another imprisoned soildetr named Regenald "Reggie" Cheeke, who has suffered wounds inflicted by the Locust while they tortured him. Though Draco tries to arm Reggie for a fight, he instead commits suicide, the physical and emotional trauma too much for him to bear. Beta squad continues to search the Hollow and discovers that the Locust are using a giant Riftworm to eat away at the rock structures at the outskirts of Jacinto in hopes of sinking it. They try to evacuate, but are swallowed by the Riftworm. The squad manages to kill the worm from the inside, but Jon Ray is killed by parasites.
Beta squad manages to escape to the surface only to be given orders to investigate a nearby abandoned COG outpost where they encounter experimented creatures and learn of a back door entrance to the Hollow in the nearby Kadar Mountains. The team fights its way to the caverns in a Centaur tank and discovers that some Stranded have taken shelter near the entrance. Draco orders Tom and Lance to evacuate the Stranded while he, Rain and King search further. They find more prisoner cages and King convinces Draco to help him seek his sister. They manage to find her, but the Locust torture has left her too traumatized and unable to communicate, so King chooses to euthasize her. Draco, Rain and King continue their assault on Nexus, the Locust capital, and are soon joined by more COG forces from the surface, including Tom and Lance. Delta squad is able to break through the Locust queen's defenses. They then discovers that the Locust have messages from Drew Yin, Draco's father, that suggests an alternate way of ending the war, in case they can't take out the queen; to sink Jacinto in order to let water flood the Hollow and wipe out the Locust. They learn from the Locust queen herself that she is pursuing the same plan not only to wipe out the humans, but to also destroy Dark Locust that have been exposed to Imulsion, a legendary power source and are attempting to overthrow the queen. Draco realizes that humans must sink Jacinto first, before the Locust mobilize and escape to the surface.
Beta squad escapes the Hollow on a set of Reavers,after defeating Skorge and his Hydra, and then return to Jacinto where a mass evacuation is underway. The COG have decided that they can sink Jacinto using a Lightmass bomb and Delta squad is ordered to clear debris out of the way in the main sink hole, allowing a helicopter to safely transport the bomb into the caverns. Draco orders Tom and Lance to assist with the bomb, while he, Rain and King manage to kill a Brumak driver, hijack the Brumak, and use it to arrive at the Hollow and fulfill their objective. As the helicopters arrive, the Brumak, exposed to high levels of Imulsion, begins to mutate. As it changes, it attacks the helicopter transporting the bomb, which falls into the Imulsion. With the Lightmass bomb lost, Draco comes up with a plan that includes killing the lambent Brumak as a replacement for the bomb. He uses the Hammer of Dawn to kill the Brumak, which explodes, taking out the last supporting structures of Jacinto which sink it, flooding the Hollow with water, as the COG forces and civilians evacuate.

Okay! While i breath into and out of the phone i feel nothing but a headache. That sinking feeling you get when your mother past, when you have to be in a cast, or when your girl cheated on you. But I had niether one of these problems, yet it was just as painful. I lost my big sister. The saying "You never know what you had till is gone" must seem to like me. Twice it has became true in my stupid life. Once when it felt like it was time to just give up on her and now when I can't see my sister's face. I can't give her a hug, I can't smell her perfume, I can't look into her eyes, I can't hear her voice, and I can't taste her cheek. To see that my senses have been negated with her makes you think whats the point of living. Maybe my reason will come back soon enough i sure hope so. I'm very irritated that it took two days to tell me no matter who it was. If i was informed earlier maybe I could of been there to prevent it but no, now she is Louisa, Virginia with her Mom, Sister, and Younger Sister. But not her brother. The one person she is always real with, the person she can crack a joke on, the person she can cry on. All the while why still feeling like eternal siblings. Is this going to effect my school work, my relationship, my life. But these are all questions after the fact. After the fact i lodt my older sister. Who I will alwyas treasure the memories of all. I lOVE YOU MEGAN! And I Always Will.

What I Wish To Say.

Day in and day out i breath this air and move about. Looking for an excuse to say I love you everyday. Why most this love go unburdened why most I try to be a man. When I look at your face all I can see is love, warmth and pride. I believe with all my heart you are the one for me. But I am to stupid to see that sometimes I taint or love. So then I steadily try to scrub the pain away and once again there is only pain. This relationship between you and me was always meant to be. That is why I feel that your such a strong part of me. Let me love you the only way I can as the man you want to love you. Even though today I feel that this little war of ours is your fault. Still I will leave and kiss you before I get on the bus. When our time come to end our little game then we both know what we will gain. And this is what I wish I could say today. But I'm to afraid to say, for I might cry or become angry. And I don't want to lose you because I was a wimp or pimp. So all I want is for you to listen as I try to complete this mission. The mission of love is one cruel admission, but if we hold on long enough this will all just become an intermission. But baby I promise not end this transmission.
