The Message
The sun is now shining, the seasons are changing. Now a new threat has appeared; Nazis. Artyom is the new hero of the Metro but there's always the silent hero's.
On the surface a man runs for his life but not from the creatures that hunt here, it's a different breed of hunter, Humans. Jumping over obstacles and dogging others that are too high, bullets whizzing past his ear. Then a shot louder than the others that was louder than the shots that where closer to him. These louder shots repeated till no shots were fired. The man turned around to see no one was changing anymore.
Knowing now that he didn't have to run from the men anymore he took a more cautious approach to get to his friend, no need to alarm and creatures. He started to speed up when the creatures of the surface started to be heard.
All around was new beauty the beauty that had always been there but the darkness had taken it away like it had with too many things. The spring sun now invaded the territory of the darkness and the two fought for control. All around there was destroyed buildings. Few buildings had managed to stay standing and none stayed intact. Rusty old cars littered the earth. Parts of what used to be roads had collapsed into the sewage tunnels or pipes that had been placed under the roads years ago. All this covered in melting snow made one of the most stunning sights. Most people never got see this because they all lived underground; only few ventured above ground and most never came back. Now that the sun was coming, the few people that mastered living on the surface knew that the world was changing again and for the better this time. A mile away stood the most stunning sight of all an Antonov. It had crashed when the missiles had fired, most electronics had failed and planes fell from the sky. That's kind of the third most deadly thing a nuke does, first it wipes you from existence if you're lucky if not you get to spend the rest of your life with cancer and then there's the electronics that monitor everything that fail.
Through the scope of a rifle sat a young man who had always adventured. He was the one who just shot the other men to protect his best friend, Sergey. He had been waiting for his friend to return when he had heard gunfire and grabbed his rifle to scope out the situation and saw that it was Sergey in trouble. He had taken the shots with ease. He had used guns since he was a ten and now was most likely one of the best shots in the Metro. With the rifle he had he could most likely shoot the furthest target out of everyone in the Metro. There was only three known to exist in the Metro and his was in the most perfect condition. This gun had been given to him when he saved one of the people that were a small group of people who knew him.
"Aleksandr my friend thank you, I wouldn't have got here without your help", Sergey said panting.
"Well you will have to remember how many times I saved your life when we go to a bar", Aleksandr laughed.
"Hahaha no chance", Serfey chuckled. "I got it", Sergey said serious all of a sudden. "It cost a lot of bullets both in trade and gunfights I hope it's worth it."
"It will be" Aleksandr said emotionless. A letter from Polis, the commanders have given the instructions the time has come. He knew that this was going to be a long and painful mission and knew that many people would die at his hand. A new battle was beginning, the battle in the shadows. In the tunnels the blood was being spilled because of beliefs but now a group of men who had never met each other and may never meet each other were going to stop this.
This will determine the fate of Metro. This will determine the fate of humanity.
After nearly a year of writing this I have come back and changed a few things. The reasons are because I found it on my laptop and read it. The other reason is because I was bored and thought it would be nice to get back to writing these, plus with the new game out (I never read the books. I have one but only read the first few pages) I could add some new more accurate to the game things in here. I hope to know what you all think of it and any criticism you have so please leave a review. My writing skills are average at best so just tell me if something needs changing to make sense. Only done part 1 so far but will leave a little note at the top of number 2 when I've re-write that too, shouldn't be too long.
