Summary:

A man from 2018 just recently woke up from the cryo sleep experiment. He was expecting to meet with cheer, and congratulations for making out alive from the success of this experiment. Instead he woke up in an empty facility with a lot of question left behind. As soon as, he venture out. The peaceful world he knew is gone…..

Chapter 1: The Thaw.

10-10-2085….[]

!WARNING:POWER FAILURE!

EMERGENCY REVIVAL_SYSTEM ACTIVATED…[]

DEFROSTING CAPSULE…[]

The yellow emergency light flash throughout the dark room. Together with the alarm that echoed throughout the shadows of this room. At the middle of this room, there is a human size capsule with a white smoke emitting from the tubes, and ventilation of the capsule. Soon, a sound of creak can be heard from the canopy of the capsule. Then without warning, the canopy open itself, and a young man fell out from it.

The young man have the looks of age between 19 or 20 years old. He has brown eyes, his skin is dark brown, and he has a crew cut hairstyle with a color of black. Then for his clothes, he wear a gray jumpsuit.

The young man tremble, and crawl his way through the cold floors. Then, he felt a sudden twist on his gut, and puke out to the floor. After, a couple gasp, and breath. He shakily stood out from the floor, and place his left hand on the wall to support his frail body.

"H-hello?..." the young man weakly said while his vision is clouded of mist, and he feel a bit nausea. "H-hey, I woke up. I am alive….i think the experiment is successful…"

Said, the young man with his weak smile. Knowing that he survive the experiment, and the cryo project proved to be successful. Although, his weak smile break into worried one when the room only respond in silence. Now, he began to ponder why no one is replying to him.

Soon, his cloudy vision begun to clear, and his headache start to subside. Once, he fully regain his senses. He finally found his answer. He is there standing all alone in this darkroom.

"G-guys?" he reply stutterly, and tilt his head to the side. Wondering why he is alone in the room. Then, he look back where the capsule place at, and there he see a console that cover of dust. He let go the wall. Confident, that he have enough strength to walk, and stroll his way to the console.

He lean on the console, and he use his hand to wipe the dust on the console . Then, his eye begun to read the content of the screen.

"10-10….2085…." young man muttered with his brow narrowed together in his confused state. Then, he yell out in his frustration when he realize that the promise date for him for thawing him out of the ice box is way beyond the schedule. "2085 GOD, DAMN EGGHEADS! Those fuckers wake me out way too late. They we're supposed to woke me up at 2020…."

The young man inhale the air, and exhale to calm himself. Because he knew losing control of his emotion will do him no good. So, after a couple breaths. He manage to compose himself. Then, continue to read the content.

" power failure…...emergency revival...wait, the computer system is the one who woke me up?" the youngman muttered in wonder when he realize that the system is the one who is responsible of his rude awakening. Thanks to that, more question begun to raise from his thoughts. So, to find the answer for his strange awakening. He decide to get out of this room.

He step out of the room as soon as the door open. Then, he sway his head left to right. Only to find himself standing all alone at the dark empty hallways.

"Hello, is anyone out there?..." he shout while his voice echo throughout the empty halls. As expected, no one answered him which made him muddle why no one is here. Though, this did not stop him from hoping. He still confident that he will find someone in here. So, he decide to venture more into the abyss.

After, a several minute of walking. He found a door with a "locker room" sign above it. Seeing it made him remember that he have a locker here. So, he went in, and look for his locker.

After, several seconds of searching. He stood in front of his blue locker with his name 'Will "Frost" Hancock' on it.

"What was the code again?" Hancock mumble while he twisting the knob of his combination padlock. After several twist, and turn. He finally unlock his locker. "Jackpot!"

He open the locker, and there he found his several personal item. Inside, there is his tan military fatigues hanging on the side of his locker together with the tan camo scarf. Then, there is also a brown military boots place below of his locker. Then, there is a small stance on the upper part of his locker. This is where he placed his G-shock wrist watch, his full charge Samsung smartphone, security card and his twin crystal pendant that gave by her mother.

Hancock, smile when he found his old stuff is still here after all this sixty seven years has passed. So, he took every personal items from his locker, and wear them all. After, he tied the last rope of his shoes. He press the power button of his smartphone, and check if there is someone who can call with. Sadly, there is no signal available on his phone which made him sigh in disappointment. Thus, to find more answers. He immediately left the locker room, and venture out to the unknown.

After, an hour of wandering around the facility. He found no souls in this place. Not even a single clues of items or message that tell the tale of this strange abandonment. Thus, this made his mind twist in his anxiety, and puzzlement. In response, he shook his head, and smack his cheek to calm himself.

Now, he know that he is truly all alone here, and there is no answers can be found on this facility. Only left for him is to go to the outside world. Maybe out there, he can find the answer to all of this mysteries. So, he nod to himself for the agreement of his own decision, and continue to stroll his way through this silent hallways.

Finally, after this long walk. He found the entrance of the facility. Before him, is a spacious room with a vault door in front of him. And the vault door has triad symbol on it which is the symbol for the company he is working for. Known as Trinity Corporations. AKA 'T.C' Then, beside of the vault door is the control panel.

Hancock, walk towards the control panel, and stood in front of it. Then, he pull out his keycard, and insert it on the panel.

"Analyzing…." said the monotone voice of the system. "Sgt. Will Hancock…T.C elite shock trooper, squad Epsilon-01 codename 'Frost'….authority confirmed. Please step on the platform."

Frost obediently follow its advice, and stood at the platform. Then, a small camera sprout out from the ceiling, and its green light scan Hancock body for a seconds. After that, an unexpected event happen. The alarm light on the ceiling flashed up in red color, and denied his access. Then, the system warned him.

"Detecting unprotected client…...the client must wear anti-radiation suit under the protocol 12 of the safety hazards rule of the company….. Please wear your safety suit to protect yourself from the radiation hazard before you proceed to the outside of the facility."

"R-Radiation...hazard?...outside?" Hancock stuttered to his own surprise, and felt like his heart froze for a hour when he heard the shocking words coming from the system. The system told him that the outside world right now is suffering from radiation hazards. In other word, he woke up in the post-apocalyptic world. In his first thought, the hunch of post-apocalyptic world is sound crazy. He is more inclined to believe that the system is malfunctioning or those bastards are playing prank on him. Which will make him really angry, and he swear that he will give them a "word" of advice if they really set him up for their silly game. But,...somehow. He can't help to think that there is a great possibility of post-apocalyptic world out there. And that might explained why the people in this facility abandon it. Now, thanks to this disturbing thoughts. He is more cautious, and anxious of the answer that waiting for him outside. So, If this turn out to be true. He will make sure that he is armed, and well-equipped before he face this harsh reality

"Fuck!" Frost slam his bare fist on the vault door to release the tense that building on his mind. Then, he sigh to calm himself, and composed himself by relaxing his body. Once, he is calm. He exited the room quickly, and head his way to the armory.

After, a minute of walking in this long hallway. He stood in front of the door with the 'Epsilon-01 armory' sign above it.

He pull out his card, and he slide his keycard on the control panel which the panel response by flashing its green light. Then, he impatiently step inside when the door open.

Before him, is a spacious room with a five armory locker stick against the wall. Each, locker has a name that respectfully belong to his fellow squad member. Then, at the left corner of the room. Is where the locker with his name tag on it. Thus, he gleefully smile when he found his armory is still in one piece, and head his way to it.

Once, he stood in front of his locker. He tap his keycard on the panel of the locker.

Sergeant. Will Hancock…..[]

Authority Confirmed…[]

Welcome back Frost..[]

A mechanical sound echoed from his locker which is the sign for disengaging its lock. Then, at the last clink of the sound. The locker opened, and reveal all of his combat equipment. Frost rub his palms together to his excitement when he saw all of his gear inside the locker. Which made him impatiently dig in there, and take everything he need for his survival needs.

Frost wear the hazmat suit, and tan CIRAS MAR heavy tactical vest. Then, he wear the high cut ballistic helmet with its bulky headset, and the 3M 6800 full face gas mask. After that, he took his XM8 rifle with a reflex sight attachment, and a prototype gauss cannon that attached under its rail. Lastly, he took four grenades, a combat knife, and a desert eagle for his sidearm.

After, he worn all the thing he needs for his survival. He decide to take the last special equipment that hiding behind his armory. He break his key card into to two, which reveal the half of his keycard has an USB connector. Frost nod to his satisfaction, and he lean on his locker. Then, he check above the ceiling of his locker, and there he see a small port attached against the ceiling. Frost smile when he found the USB port, and he insert his keycard to it.

In response, his whole locker flip within inside, and exposed his secret armory. Then, the armory open itself, and reveal an Exoskeleton suit. This suit is called HERC mk.2 exoskeleton suit which is develop from the "Project Hercules". The suit enhance the strength, and the agility of the user, and reduce the user carryweight. Also, it has a battery core that can last for fifty years which is one of the remarkable technology that been develop during its time. Sadly, its development is still in its infancy, and they only produce ten of them. So, he is one of the few lucky soldier that been issued by the company.

"Hehehehe...its good to see you back, pal." Frost gleefully chuckle. Knowing, that he is about to wear this amazing equipment for the third time. "I can't wait to lend me your strength, once more ol pal."

He put his back against the exoskeleton spine. Then, the mechanical clamps of the suit quickly attached itself to his spine, arms, and his legs. Then, the clamps locked itself down, and accept its user.

Frost start to stretch his head, and his limbs to feel the adaptation of the suit to his body. So, far so good. Everything is normal, and his movement is comfortable as if his body moving like a feather.

Once, the preparation is done. He pull out a magazine from his vest, and load it to his XM8 rifle follow by cocking the chamber of his rifle. Then, he left the armory without any words, and venture his way to the truth.

"Scanning….Access confirmed. Disengaging locks system." said the machine from the speaker on the ceiling.

A light shine through the gap of the vault door when the gate begun open itself. Then, Frost exited his way from the facility, and head down from the stair which lead to elevator shaft that covered of screen cage. Once, he stood in front of it. The gate screen of the shaft lift itself up while the elevator platform begun the descend itself to the ground.

A sound of thud echoed throughout the atrium which made his heart froze for awhile. He swallow his saliva nervously, when he saw the platform lay before him. The platform that will lead him to the answer that he is looking for. Then, he bravely step in to the platform with his eagerness of finding his answer. Even though, he still feel the fear linger on his heart. Nonetheless, whether his assumption is true or not. He still have to get out of this facility to survive. So, here goes nothing…..

Without warning, the platform begun to ascend itself from the ground. Frost can feel the heavy weight on his chest when he feel the platform getting closer to the answer. Then, the gate from the surface begun to open, and letting the light shine upon his eye. Blinding him from the answer. So, he lift his hand to protect his eye from the light. Not for long, a sound of clunk echoed to his ear, and he feel the platform stop which is a sign that it finally reach the surface of the ground.

Frost lower his hand, and let his cloudy vision adjust to the outside world. As soon as, his vision settled down, and regain his senses. His breath cease to exist for a minute, and his eye wide up to his own horror. Through, the reflection of the visor of his gas mask. There is the world that been sunk into the grave of the human sins.

Before him, is a wasteland. The blue sky he knew before is gone. The sky is covered of dark clouds that been poisoning the earth for who knows how long its been like that. Also, the human cities that used to be the centre of prosperity, and life. Its now the centre of our graves. Also, the ruins of our proud cities become the tombs of our civilization.

"W-what have we done?..." Frost grimly muttered under his dying breath when he realize the bright future he anticipate before, turn out to be the future that walk into the dark path.

Seeing this made his knees felt weak, and force him kneel to the ground. Then, he painfully close his eye hoping that everything he see before is nothing, but a nightmare. Although, deep inside he knew that this is no dream. But, his new reality. The peaceful world he knew is gone, and this wasteland will continue to goes on without him. Whether he like it or not. Thus, this post-apocalyptic world gave him two choice. He can either close his eye, and shut himself from the reality which will only lead himself to his own grave, or….open his eye, and accept the dark future we made. He chose the latter. Sure, the world right now might be cruel, and this wasteland surely will gave him hardship through his entire journey. But, there is no way he will let himself give up that so easily. No, he ain't that kind of man. He thought to himself that he will never lose hope as long as his heart is still beating in his chest. And he make sure that hope will not abandon him, also.

Thus, he gather all of his strength, and strongly stand up from the ground. Then, he continue to press on down to the dark ruins of our city. With his mind only filled of determination. Determined, to find a small piece of hope at the middle of this desolate graveyard.

Ashes, and bones. That is the only thing he can see in this wasteland. On every path he walk on. For every street. All is nothing, but covered of grave, and ashes. All the skyscraper that stood proudly before, and all the human vehicle that roam wildly before. Its nothing, but a wrecked pieces of the past that been covered of the ashes of our sins.

Funny though, despite of all of this. He still somehow find some beauty of this scene. Darkly beautiful. He hate to admit that, but his mind can't help to think about it. Anyway, the only thing that he dislike is the sound of silence. This eerie silence is making his brain tense, and nervous. He don't like it. He wished that this silence will end soon….not for long, that wish will soon be fulfill.

Several gunshot echoed throughout the the street. Like a thunder struck down upon this silent city. Thanks to that, it made Frost flinch, and dive to the mud. Then, he quickly crawl his way to the rusty car in front of him, and stick his back against it. Though, the gunshot suddenly stop, and the sound of silence rule the city once again.

Frost stealthily peek from his cover, and check what is going on. Strangely, the street is empty, and there is no sign of any bullet hole from his cover. Which tell him that the gunshot is not in this street, but somewhere near from his position.

Either way, the gunshot tell him one thing. He is not alone, and there is someone out there is still surviving in this wasteland. This someone might be the small piece of hope he is looking for. So, he get up from his cover, and follow the source of the sound. Of course, he have to be cautious of meeting this people. Because in this kind of world. People don't trust each other that easily anymore, and getting shot by his small piece of hope is the last thing he want to happen to him.

Anyway, he continue to walk on through the road, and cross the other street. The street that he believe where the sound came from. After, several step. He heard a sound of crunch coming beneath of his boot. He look down, and pull his foot out away from the object. There he see a broken metallic visor laying down on the earth. Then, he jump to his surprise, and raise his weapon up to the air. When he hear a sound of moan just a few feet away from him, and its behind the rusty car.

Hearing it made him cautious, and swallow his saliva nervously. So, he turn off the safety of his rifle, and slowly approach the rusty car. He slowly, and carefully tread his way to the car. Making sure he is not going to make any noise. Alerting her or his is the last thing he want to happen. Anyway, when he get more nearer to the vehicle. He can clearly hear a feminine moan behind the cover, and it's getting louder.

Judging from the sound. The person moan sound rough as if she was in pain which made him quickly walk over to the car, and check the condition of this wounded person. When he walk past the car. There he saw a person, who sat on the cold ground with her back against the rusty car.

Although, Frost jaw drop to his surprise, and his eye wide up to his own puzzlement when he get the clear observation of this woman . In front of him, is humanoid female. She has a pale white skin, and long purple ponytail. She wear a black one piece skin tight suit, and a gray tactical cloak. Also, she has a "Jaeger unit 205" tattoo on her bare shoulder. Unfortunately, both of her legs are gone. As if her legs were ripped out by some animals which led some of her servos, and wires exposed from her flesh wound. Yes, servo, and wires...in other words she is not human, but a humanoid machine.

"a….robot?" Frost said in disbelief of what he is seeing, and he slowly lower his gun.

The synth twitch her ears when she heard a voice. Then, she slowly open her eyes, and revealing her glowing pinkish iris. She raise her head, and focus her sight on the strange gas mask man who standing in front of her. Then, her eyes fell into her own fear, and disbelief. When she recognize the creature standing in front of him.

"I….I-Impossible…...a...a h-human!?" the synth reply with the fear linger on her voice. Then, her weak arms desperately try to raise her sniper rifle. Sadly, she has no more strength left on her body. So, her hand collapse to its own demise, and her body begun to feel the heavy weight that accumulating to her body.

"I-I feel cold." she weakly reply, and her torso begun to fall. Luckily, Frost has a quick reflex, and he catch her on the middle of her fall. "Do…..don't h-hurt me."

"Sshhhh….don't worry. I am not here to hurt you." Frost gently reply which made the synth girl calm for a bit. Then, he sat together with her, and he gently rest her body against his arms.

Frost check upon her wounds on her decapitated legs. He notice she is already lose a lot of blood. Which is too late for him to save her life. Also, he is not a doctor or medic. Aiding a fatal wounded is beyond of his skill, and he don't know how to treat a machine. He hate to admit it, but there is really nothing he can do, but watch her die.

Frost shook his head, and he sigh to his disappointment because of the limitation of his own being. Then, he look back to the girl, and there he can see the pain on her face. The pain of fighting her own death which made Frost heart wrenched, for seeing the suffering of this poor girl. Also, it made him realize that she is no different to any human after all. She might be a machine, but that pain shows that she is too has a human emotion just like him.

"Why?" the Jaeger asked with her frail eyes staring at his gas mask.

Though, this question made Frost wonder. As if that this synth girl did not expect a human will stay by her side. Which made him wonder how the majority of the human of this century, treat synthetic girl like her. Anyway, he has no time to ponder about this, and he don't want her to wait for too long.

"Because….because, no one deserved to die alone in this world." Frost honestly reply with a bitter smile on his lips.

The girl eyes wide up in to her own shock from his respond. Then, she bitterly smile, and sound please from his answer. After that, she tuck herself more against his body, and let her head lay on his chest. Strangely, she felt her pain start to subside when she feel the warmth of this human body. Which made her feel thankful of having him by her side. "H-human?"

"Yes?"

"T-Thank you." Jaeger said with her weak voice, and her pinkish gentle eye meet up with his brown eyes. Then, her frail hands slowly reach for his gas mask, and gently stroke it. "I..I remember…T-Th"

In her last word. Her arm went limp, and her glowing pinkish eye suddenly died out, and turn pale. Then, her last breath cease to exist.

"Rest in peace….." Frost bitterly muttered under his breath, and he close her eyes.

Frost gently lay her body down to the cold ground, and use her cloak to cover her dead body. Then, he stood up, and silently mourn for her death. Although, that silence were disturbed when he heard a growl behind his back.

Frost spun around, and his body froze in fear when he face the two strange figure in front of him. Through, the reflection of the visor of his gas mask. There is two human size monstrous creature standing in front of him. The creature is standing on its four legs like a dog while the other one is standing on its own two legs like human. Then, the bodies of this creatures are composed of various flesh. And there is several limbs stuck out of this red fleshy body. Also, its eyeless head is beyond recognizable except that disturbing toothy smile stretching across its fleshy face. The most disturbing of all. He recognize that some of those flesh are belong to the human.

"What the fuck are you?" Frost said with a fear linger on his tongue. While he slowly raise his XM8 rifle, and turning off the safety of his gun.

To be continued~
