Mikor City

"Die!" Mark screamed as he shot a Metal Head. Mark was a soldier in Baron Loger's army. Metal Heads had attacked the city before, but never like this. This time they killed everybody in their path. Before they only killed for food or to defend themselves. Now they killed everyone in their way and ate some of them if they were hungry. "Good job" Sod told Mark. Sod was the commander of the United Forces. Mark was just a soldier, but Sod was the United Forces leader. Sod was a good man like Baron Loger. "Watch out!" Mark told Sod when he saw a huge Metal Head behind him. Sod turned around to see the Metal Head. He quickly grabbed his Julster Gun from his back pocket and killed it. "Thanks" Sod said gently. "No prob" Mark assured. "I think we got all of them" Sod said. "No," Mark replied, "there are still five left in the central district." "Then let's go" Sod ordered. Mark and Sod ran with twelve more soldiers following them. Only five of the soldiers were from Baron Loger's army; the rest were United Forces soldiers. The United Forces was an organization that was founded by Baron Dargon, the Baron from Haven City that came before Baron Praxis. Baron Dargon not only cared for Haven City's safety, but for the other cities' safeties as well. So he made a party in the palace and invited Baron Gustav from Gargon City, Baron Slogan from Flaknit City, Baron Roger from Sapphire City, and Baron Loger from Mikor City. They discussed about creating an organization that would make sure all their cities were safe from any danger. And in the end, they founded the United Forces. Back in Mikor, Sod blasted the last Metal Head's skull to ashes with his Julster Gun. "We did it troops! Mikor City is safe!" Sod yelled in excitement.

Sod walked slowly towards Mark and whispered in his ear. "Would you like to become a United Forces soldier?" Sod asked. Mark looked at Sod surprised. "Of course!" Mark replied. Later, the United Forces and Mark left in their huge blue aircrafts. Inside one of the aircrafts were Mark and Sod in a small bedroom that belonged to Sod. "So, you're excited Mark?" Sod asked Mark. "Very excited" Mark corrected. "You're not fully Mikorian are you?" Sod asked Mark knowing what the answer would be. "How do you know?" Mark asked Sod surprised. "I can tell" Sod replied. "How?" Mark kept asking. "It's just my little gift to know people's races" Sod responded. "I'm fully Gargonian" Sod added. "Well I'm half Mikorian and half Havenan" Mark admitted. "My mother is from Mikor and my father was from Haven" he continued. "Oh, I'm sorry about your father" Sod said. There was a short- term silence which was broken by Mark. "Why is Haven City not part of the United Forces anymore?" Mark asked. Sod could tell Mark was new. "Because when Baron Praxis came to power, he was such a proud and ignorant man that he thought he could keep the city safe himself" Sod answered. "But now Haven City is under Baroness Ashelin's rule" Mark said wanting to know more. "Well, there's this hero called Jak in Haven so they think he'll always be there to save them" Sod continued, hoping this would evolve into a whole conversation. "It's foolish to trust one single man" Mark stated. "I agree" Sod said. "Then again there's the Underground and the Krimzon Guards also" Sod added. "Oh," Mark said, "then that's a different story." "Yep" said Sod nodding. The aircrafts landed on a special airport made only for those ships. "Well," Sod said getting up, "it's time to go to the headquarters." "Where are we?" Mark asked with a mix of concern and worry. "We're in Sapphire City" Sod replied.
