Chapter 1 prologue

The Hunt for Reese

After the fall of Beacon Reese for a time had to hide in the agricultural district just to the south west of Beacon.

As Reese was hiding in the rubble of a abandoned building he was brought back to when he was doing evading drills with the Atlas military, in whatever environment was there at the time.

Reese then drifted off to sleep he needed to continue west to make it to a port so he can get as far as possible, "why?" You ask is that the Atlas military has a kill/capture order on his head.

The last thing Reese remembered before he dozed off was from his mom Winter.

"Run my son evade and if necessary attack any Atlas forces in your way, i'll talk to you soon." Winter told Reese.

Reese wondered how she was going to talk to him since he had his Predator armor cut off from the military and there is no way for them to track him.

Then after a few minutes he dozed off to sleep.

But it was not a peaceful sleep,no it was filled with nightmares from his time while in training.

"LETS GO LETS GO!" said the instructor to Reese's face.

The drill in particular was an obstacle course, under the netting that was modified to cut you every time you brushed up against it, was something Reese didn't look forward to it, the rope that was braided in such a way that if you went down it cut you.

The next part mud pit it just had the standard barbed wire above it, but it's what the instructors did that was different they were holding guns and firing them as they walked beside you while saying. "GET GOING MOVE IT OR YOU'LL GET HIT!"

It was stressful for Reese he wondered what he will die first from getting shot or from exhaustion.

But after the pit it was a 10 mile run back to his bunk where he would get dressed into the standard Atlas uniform to then continue training for the rest of the day.

Then all Reese remembers in his dream was he was running back on the trail then suddenly a grim appeared in front of him, Reese couldn't call for anyone he was on his own so kill or be killed was the name of the game.

The wolf took a leap with it's claws out and tried to tackle Reese for an easy kill, but Reese dove out of the way and brought up a solid punch to the jaw of the grim.

It staggered back taking a look at Reese then it went full force taking swipe after swipe in an attempt to hit him.

But the one thing Reese learned is that arms are only useful to an extent, he then ran into the wolf and tackled it now it was on the ground.

It was a bloody fight Reese got hit several times and is now bleeding he had to finish this fast.

So Reese grabbed the upper and lower jaws of the wolf and with sheer force and adrenaline he started to force them apart.

The growls then turned into pained whimpering as the grim realized what was about to happen but it was too late for it.

With all the force exerted on it's head it split apart the top part of the head separating from the rest of the body, Reese then rolled off to the side and began panting from the rush he felt he couldn't move his body for some time.

Then he heard a voice, "Reese?" he didn't notice, "Reese?" it was starting to get more intense this time "REESE!"

Reese then woke up realizing it was real.

"Reese?" Patty his A.I companion said.

"Yes what is it?" Reese replied.

"I'm detecting radio frequencies belonging to Atlas military they are doing a sweep of this block." Patty said.

Reese looked down the block it was 350 yards from his position and closing in on him.

Reese wasn't in the mood to fight he had to run, he got to his bike that had a new paint job on it it was now gray and black instead of red and black.

Verrrrrroommm said the bike as it came to life then the radio came to life.

"He is here block all ways so he can't get out." one of the soldiers said.

"Roger that." said another.

"Patty list escape routes." said Reese.

"Calculating." Patty said.

After a few seconds. "The best escape route is across the bridge." Patty told Reese.

"We will take it then." Reese said as he revved his bike and busted out of the makeshift shelter he made.

"There he is open fire!" Reese heard from the captain of the squad.

As Reese was swerving as so not to get hit by any bullet, he was following to route that Patty laid out for him, he then looked and saw that several jeeps were gaining on him.

Reese then drew his Direct Energy gun and flipped the safety to destroy decomposer so that he could hit the engine blocks so that nobody got hurt.

"Patty take control of the bike." Reese commanded.

"Got it." Patty said back.

Reese flipped around and got the weapon ready, it did it usual revealing the complicated internal parts and it glowed red indicating it was ready to fire.

Reese fired the first shot it connected to the first jeep causing it to stop immeiately to stop and it took out another one in the process.

Then Reese took aim at the other one it was swerving so it could not get hit, but Reese activated the DRAGON program and sure enough it slowed down by a factor of 35% giving him time to aim and fire for a precise shot to the block.

Then more vehicles joined the chase but the bridge was getting closer and it was drawn up but Reese had other ideas.

"I got it."Reese said as he grabbed the bars.

"Got it." Patty said as it relinquished control back to reese.

Reese then went full speed topping out at 210 mph on the bike, it hit the bridge and it shot upward and some how made it to the other side as the bridge stopped at it's maximum height.

Reese was free and clear and he drove off to the next nearest town.

Meanwhile on an island called Patch.

Yang the formal brawler was in her bed staring out the window in a very depressed manor, she then looked down at her left hand in it was a note from Reese.

"I'm ok i'll see you soon." was all it said from him.

It's been 3 months for her, 3 months of constant night time terrors and relieving her pain, first her arm now she doesn't know if reese still loves her, and to make it worst her sister Ruby ran off with the remnants of Team JNPR to go to Mistrial.

"AUGGGGGGG!" Yang screamed.

Almost immediately her father came in.

"What? What's wrong Yang?" Taiyang asks.

As Yang got her mind under control she said back.

"It's nothing dad just another outburst." Yang replied back.

"You sure?" Tai asks hoping to get her to open up.

"I'm sure." Yang says back not wanting to talk anymore.

"Ok if you need me you know where i am." Tai tells Yang.

She didn't give him a response but stared out the window at the snow covered landscape.

Yang took one last look at the note and said.

"Find me Reese i need you." was all Yang said.

Back at Vale

Reese then got a good distance away from the military he then felt something as if he is needed then realized it was Yang crying for him.

"Don't worry Yang i'll be coming for you hang tight." Reese said as he made his way to the industrial district for a boat.
