Prologue: Desperation
That was supposed to be it. That would be the end of the war once and for all. Everyone had thought the Light mass bombing was it. It would be the end of the war once and for all, but they were wrong…
It had simply halted the damn Locust for awhile, giving us a little time to lunch break. But now…
"And so it appears that despite our best efforts to end the war, the Locust are still fighting back and apparently, even stronger than before the Light mass bombing," a scruffy looking news reporter was talking on the ancient television against the wall. Marcus let his blue eyes fly to the screen and watch the images of fighting flashing behind the reporter.
"Just two days ago the Locust wiped two of our cities from the map. Tollen and Montevado. Both cities were destroyed by apparently being sunk right underground, according to Coalition High Command. The Cog were unable to stop the Locust forces and as a result both cities were completely lost." Marcus slammed his fist on the lumpy old couch he sat on and stood up angrilly.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT US TO DO YOU FUCKERS?" If they want the war to end then the damn stranded might as well just join the Cog and at least try and help! God knows we need it.
"You're still screaming at that thing Marcus? Can't you give it a rest and eat something?" Marcus turned hesistantly to stare at Dom, he was standing over a wooden table in his sweats and a white t-shirt that displayed his muscular physique well. Marcus moved slowly to the tv and grunted as he shut it off.
"Just pisses me off that they complain about our efforts when they're not doing anything," he muttered grumpily as he walked to the table. The aroma of pancakes and maply syrup drove him hungrier than ever.
"Yeah, but theirs nothing we can do to them to make them stop complaining. So why not just let it go and worry about kicking Locust ass?" Dom then smirked at Marcus who smiled wryly in return and sat down picking up his fork slowly. "So do you really think that lake was Tollen?"
Marcus took a big bite of pancake and flicked his eyes to his friend's brown ones. He chewed slowly while Dom watched with anticipation. Finally the Delta squad leader swallowed, "I don't know, Baird and I were talking that it was possible the Locust did that but I don't have a damn clue how they might of."
Dom frowned and took a bite of pancake and then started talking with his mouthfull, "Maybe some new sort of Locust tech?" Marcus shook his head.
"Better not be," was all he grumbled before beginning to devour his pancakes. Dom smirked and wiped his face off sloppily with a napkin setting it back down on the table harshly. His eyes had caught the picture pinned to the wall again, and now he couldn't peel his eyes away, he simply froze and stared like a statue.
Marcus chewed noisily and looked at Dom. He then turned his head to follow his friend's gaze to the portrait on the wall of a smiling woman with long shiny black hair. Maria.
Images of Dom's past quickly began to flood his troubled mind as he stared into nothingness. "Dom? Dom? Dom you awake? I brought you breakfast! The kids are at my mother's, so we get the whole day to ourselves!" Maria stood over him holding out the tray of food to him. "Dom, hey Dom, DOM!"
Suddenly the real world came back, dirty room and all as Dom's eyes flashed to Marcus. "You okay? Or you hallucinating and shit again?" His friend's face was contorted with concern, an emotion Marucs rarely showed.
Dom just shook his head and stood up, "Yeah, something like that." He then turned his back on Marcus and walked out of the room leaving Marcus alone with his thoughts.
He was getting so desperate to find her. But he has to know theirs no way she's alive, right? Or does he still think we can find her? It took Marcus more than a minute to tear his attention away from the door and back to the half eaten pancakes. He stared at them sadly, how much longer can this hell last?
