Nightmare on Wars World
Von Bolt could not move. He could not see, hear, or feel. But he was aware of a
presence, a presence full of malevolence and hatred. The only conscious thought Von
Bolt was Sturm. It was all he could gather from the dark presence.
"You have failed", said the presence, "You had an army with power far greater and COs far more competent
than my own. And still you were driven back. The only way we can both get what we
want is to work together. To…cooperate. " With that Von Bolt felt the presence close in
on him and his scream echoed through the halls of Limbo for eternity. Sturm awoke in
the ruins of the Deathray facility, his last resting place before Hawke betrayed him. He
realized he was no longer wearing his survival suit. But he had changed. He was a human
now. Von Bolt's soul had been removed, but he had kept the body. Sturm walked away
from the wrecked facility.
"All right, Steele, move it up! Grey Nova ain't gonna blow up their own tank facility.
Shut up back there, Carby, you wanna get shot? We're too close for dumb screwups."
Damon Steele had done all this before. It was just the Captain's way of trying to lessen
tension in the squad. Something had felt wrong when they were moving through the
jungle. The facility fence came into view. The bushes rustled. The team whipped around
searching for the disturbance.
"What was….Hey, where the hell is Hawkins?"
Steele ran for the APC. He felt like throwing up. Fear had taken him over. He jumped
inside the vehicle. Bullets shot out of the darkness. He noticed the driver's neck was
broken. He screamed, threw the body out, and drove away, with the dying screams of his
comrades the only sound in the jungle.
To be continued….
WHO is the mysterious Grey Nova nation, and WHAT killed Damon Steele's uni in the jungle?
(Hint: it's NOT Sturm!)
