Basically this is a story about what would happen if we added a new member of Delta. The whole story will not be in his POV. I will also be going through all three games. Every chapter in the game will be a chapter in the story except if it is a short chapter then I might do two in one. So I hope you enjoy my first fic in a long while.

14 Years After E-Day

[Sam's POV]

"Hey Private wake up we're almost there!"

A hand reached over and shook me as my eyes snapped open. I shook my head and looked at the dark skinned Latino man that had woke me up. I surveyed the rest of the squad. We had Lieutenant Kim, Private Santiago, and my best friend Private Anthony Carmine. I looked at him and smiled, and then I reached for my helmet and put it on my head. I looked back to Santiago.

"Why exactly are we going to Jacinto Prison? I mean wasn't everyone their pardons sir?"

I wasn't yet accustomed to being in Delta as I had just transferred from Echo Squad about five months ago. Santiago looked at me like I was crazy and just sighed. Then the Lieutenant looked at me.

"We are here to extract a high value soldier known as Marcus Michael Fenix"

Upon hearing the name Marcus Fenix Anthony perked up and suddenly got very excited. I had heard this name before. Marcus Fenix was a soldier in the Pendulum Wars he was a legend. But apparently he left his squad with the Hammer of Dawn and they were all killed, leading to him being incarcerated in Jacinto Maximum Security Prison for the rest of his life. Anthony then said his first words on this whole ride.

"Woah you mean the Marcus Fenix, wow I'm gonna get to serve with Marcus Fenix. This is gonna be the best mission ever!"

The Lieutenant looked at the Private and then shook his head. "We won't be going in Carmine. We're gonna leave the rescue to McCabe and Santiago. We're just gonna sit tight in the Raven and wait for them, got it?"

Anthony looked down and shuffled his foot on the floor. "Well this sucks I was looking forward to seeing him in person."

I reached down for my Longshot, my lifeline and then looked back up to Anthony. "Well you'll get to meet him on the ride back. That's good too right?

"Yeah I guess that's cool but I want to kill some grubs with him."

The Lieutenant looked at me. He studied me up and down like he was trying to figure me out. "So McCabe I didn't have time to read your file. I prefer to know about people in my squad and we really haven't gotten a chance to talk."

"Well I'm twenty nine, I've been serving for around five years now, I was going to get married but then those god damn grubs showed up and screwed it all up for me. Luckily she's safe back in Jacinto. Before E-Day I had a great life then those god damn grubs showed up and fucked everything up for me, for everyone really. I'm going to make these god damn grubs pay."

Then suddenly over the speaker in the Raven we heard the pilot say "We are landing in five so get ready."

"You heard him we better get ready" The Lieutenant replied.

"Oh I am so ready to get him out man. I haven't seen Marcus in years" Private Santiago said. I looked at him thinking how ironic it is that this man was once friends with Marcus Fenix and now he is freeing him from prison. Maybe it was a setup from Hoffman. Hell if I know.

We sat in the Raven for a bit until the pilot spoke over the speaker again.

"Okay boys we are landing in sixty seconds so you better get your weapons ready"

We sat until the Raven found a suitable spot to land. When it did the Lieutenant spoke up.

"Okay boys we are going to have air support so radio in when you you get out and we will have then bombard the prison and we will pick you up."

Dominic looked at the Lieutenant and then nodded. "Okay we got it, so you sure you're ready for this Sam?"

"Oh yeah I'm ready to kill some grubs."

The Raven landed and we got out of the Raven. Dom made sure to bring JACK. I put my Longshot on my back and grabbed my Lancer. For some reason Dominic had a Hammerburst. Maybe he just wanted to conserve ammo for the misson after. We entered the prison and walked in.

[Marcus POV]

I sat in the cold and damp jail cell as I wondered what would of happened if I didn't leave. Hell I know what would of happened. I wouldn't be here. I laid back down on the absolutely disgusting bed with flies above it and laid my head down. I missed my old life. I missed Dom, I missed Anya, and most of all I missed Carlos. The few people that actually cared about me were probably dead. Then all of a sudden a Wretch ran across the top of my cell. I jumped up as I heard a voice that sounded to familiar say.

"JACK rip that door"

Then I saw sparks coming from the door. The door fell over and then I saw a little robot and the man known as Dominic Santiago walk in with a bag. I looked over his shoulder and saw a young man in a helmet as well. I walked over and said.

"What are you doin here?"

Dom replied getting ready to throw his bag. "Getting you out. Here take this you'll need it.

"You could get into a lot of trouble for doing this" I replied.

"Not anymore things have changed, we better go."

I wondered what would become of the other prisoners.

"What about the other prisoners, we can't just leave them here"

Then Dom said the thing that pissed me off the most.

"They're gone, Hoffman pardoned everybody.

I just put a scowl on my face and said the only thing I could.

"Is that right?"

Dom looked pretty pissed too. "Welcome back to the army soldier"

I said the only thing I could think of. "Shit."

"Okay then let's go"

I looked over at the rookie and asked Dom.

"Who the hell is this kid?"

"Oh this is Private Sam McCabe, he's Delta's sniper. He's one of the best, almost never misses."

I walked over to the next cell and looked in, I saw a disturbing image of a body in a pool of blood.

"Guess Hoffman didn't pardon everyone" I looked over to McCabe and just kept walking. He hadn't seen the things I've seen in this hellhole and he never would. So he would never understand.

I walked up to Dom and he explained what we're going to do next.

"We have two options, we can take the guards quarters, it's safe but it takes time. Or we can go through the prison blocks and get right into the fight, your choice"

I was pissed and I needed something to kill so I picked the blocks. "Let's take the prison blocks. I'm ready to kick some ass."

"Hell yeah let's do it"

We ran out then Dom stopped and began to talk in his headset. "Six-Four, this is Delta Two, we are en route. Over."

"Copy that, we are beginning our run. Six Four in position. Fox-one fox-one."

I looked up and a Raven hit the top of the prison knocking down debris. Then I heard the rookie.

"What the hell are they doing!"

Dom looked at the rook and shrugged then began to speak into his headset.

"Six-Four, this is Delta Two, hold your fire! We are inside the prison. Over!"

"Rodger that, holding fire. Advise you relocate ASAP"

"What an idiot" McCabe said with a sigh.

"Man if command knew I was here to get you, I'd be in some deep shit. C'Mon let's go."

Then Sam walked up to the door and kicked it down running into some bodies.

"Holy shit!"

"What the hell's been going on in this prison?"

I then recalled my experiences and said the only thing I could to Dom. "You don't want to know"

I heard chatter over the radio about hostiles and readied the Hammerburst that Dom gave me. I looked over at Sam who held his Lancer tight in his hands. I took cover behind some debris and readied for the grubs to come. Dom told me to take cover which I had already done then two Drones came running out and began to fire upon us. I opened fire on the Drones and killed one when I was moving in cover. The second one jumped out and smacked Dom right in the face with it's Hammerburst knocking him to the ground. I jumped out of cover and Sam fire three Lancer shots right into the face of the Drone, it fell cold and lifeless to the ground. I helped Dom up and he began to speak over the radio. I spotted some grenades and Dom told me to pick them up. I grabbed them, I sure as hell hoped I remembered how to use them.

Then we ran into a room with more Drones as they opened fire on us. One of them rushed us as we got into cover and I blind-fired my Hammerburst as I tried to kill it to no avail. It jumped over the cover and I tryed to dispatch it with a few Hammerburst shots but it smacked me with it's gun and Dom fired three well placed shots into it's chest. I jumped back into cover next to the rookie who had killed a second Drone with a headshot from his Longshot. The last guy who was in a small bunker would be hard to hit so I pulled out one of my grenades just as Dom had said.

"Marcus use a grenade"

I threw it and it bounced right into the bunker and it exploded and Drone bits went flying through the air.

"Whew I think we might be good for a bit" Sam said with relived tone of voice.

Just as he talked I looked over and saw sparks flying through the door. I knew what that meant...more Drones. I got into cover quickly and then Sam took a spot right next to me and said.

"When the come in you might want to throw one of those grenades"

"Yeah that might be a good idea"

Dom took cover on my other side and just as the Locust cut through he jumped up ad got ready to shoot. "Get ready, here they come"

The door exploded and Locust came running in as I took out a grenade and threw it right over the debris we were hiding behind.

I got a Locust with my grenade but just as it exploded Dom was hit in the shoulder with a bullet and fell to his knees in pain.

"Argh god dammit, help me up will you Marcus?"

I reached down and sat Dom next to the debris. "Looks like we're gonna have to handle this ourselves huh?"

I looked at Sam and nodded. Sam opened fire on a Drone and put few Lancer shots in him before he crumpled to the ground. A Drone charged me but as he was running I got out of cover and smacked him right across the face with my gun. He fell to the floor and I put my foot on his head and smashed his face into the ground making his head explode into little bits.

"Eat boot"

With one Drone left I rolled out of cover and as he turned to run out I fired my Hammerburst and killed him with three shots. I ran over to Dom and got his up.

"It's okay Marcus I can walk. Delta One, this is Delta Two. We are ready for extraction. Over."

We then ran outside into a great big ambush of Drones.

[Sam's POV]

This was amazing. I was fighting alongside two Pendulum War heroes. Now I knew what Anthony was so excited over. As we rushed outside though my spirits dropped a little. We had to fight around maybe seven Drones before we could get out of here.

"Hey Sam flank with Marcus" Dom said as he turned to me.

"Gotcha, okay let's go"

We ran up stairs as we saw a Drone run by us and head for cover. He ran away when he saw he was outnumbered and we advanced. We opened fire on the Drones and I killed one. I reloaded my Lancer and a Drone ran up the stairs. It looked at me and was ready to fire when Marcus ran over and smacked it right into the ground and opened fire on it. We advanced down the stairs into some debris for cover then Marcus killed a Drone with a few shots from his Hammerburst. A lone Drone stood there realizing all of its comrades were dead. I then rushed Dom who quickly killed it with a headshot. I heard some Raven chatter about something underground and I immediately knew what it was. It was a Corpser.

"Marcus, Sam we've gotta move to the Raven now!"

We all began to sprint as Dom kicked some debris that was blocking our path down. The ground began to shake as a Corpser rose out from the ground. We all entered the Raven as Dom grabbed my hand and helped me in at the last second.
