This is a story about a Torn left the Guard and became in the Resistance, as well as his relationship with Praxis and Ashelin. Directly relates with my Sig story. So look there for other references. PLEASE comment.

Chapter 1: General Torn

"Captain Torn! We have a problem. Come with me!"

"Yes, Count Veger."

Torn followed Veger into the Hellcat and through the city Section. Captain. He was getting sick of that. He's been a leading man in the Metal Head War for years, and has only risen to Captain.

"Count, why are we going to the Main Building? How come were not going to his base in the Slums?"

"The Baron will explain when we get there, but I will brief. The Metal Heads have breached the city and are attacking through the slums. He is ordering an evacuation right now. He's going to seal it off from the rest of Haven and have an air strike take it out."

"What! We do not have enough homes to put all those people in! Not to mention the advantage this will give the Metal Heads! They will be even closer now!"

"If we don't do this, the Metal heads will continue into the city and overtake us all."

"Dammit! What is he thinking?"

"He's thinking about saving lives, Captain."

"And at the cost of how many?"

"That remains to be seen. We're here. You can see yourself inside, I presume?"

"I very well ca-"

"Captain Torn! Veger has briefed you, I presume?"

"Yes, Baron! Are you serious about ordering an Air Strike? Think about the losses!"

"I understand your concern, Captain. However, if we don't, our losses will be even greater. Now, you're mission is even more important, though. We have had an attack on one of our Caravans from either Marauders or Wastelanders. We need to attack them both, nothing too serious, just a battalion to both of them to show them who's boss. Secondly, we have found some very important Eco vents at the construction site, but we need the enemy we found there cleared so we can extract it. Both of these missions are under your control, General."

"Sir! Thank you!"

"What? This fool is a General? This is outrageous!"

"Yes, which now makes him one step below Admiral, and one step above you, Count."

"That's right. Veger! Assemble the 623rd Legion and go and attack the Marauders and Wastelanders. I'll take some troops and clear out the enemy. Baron, anything else?"

"Yes, as you can tell, I have made many adjustments in my leaders. I have rid myself of two Generals, promoted General Kask to Admiral, and appointed three new Generals. Yourself, Ashelin, and Erol. Ashelin has been doing very well lately, and I think will make a great addition to my Generals. Erol has been making great progress on my Dark Warrior program, and recently found two more suspects to put through the program. He deserves this one. Any questions?"

"No sir. Veger, take the troops and leave immediately. Understood?'

"Grrrr…..Yes, General."

"Good, now go! Baron, what are Ashelin and Erol doing?"

"Good question. Ashelin is with a patrol and is on a mission in Haven Forrest, and Erol is working on this project. Now, go and clear out those Eco Vents!"

"Yes, sir!"

Torn hopped in his Zoomer and radioed his troops. "Alright, I need everyone to go and meet me at the Eco Vents at the refinery. Praxis says we have some enemies there. We are to take them out. It's been too long since I've busted some Metal Heads.'

They arrived shortly and Torn led the forces in. As soon as he went in he stopped in his footsteps. There weren't any Metal heads there. Just civilians. He ran to his Zoomer and radioed Praxis.

"Baron, are you there?"

"Yes, General, what's wrong?"

"Baron, there aren't any enemies at the vents! Just civilians!"

"I know, Torn. But they have been rowdy lately and need to be exterminated. Just like the fools in the slums.

"Sir! You're killing innocent lives!"

"Torn, I'll do whatever it takes to keep this City safe. Did I make a mistake making you General?"

"Sir, I can't kill innocent people!"

"I thought this might be a problem. If you won't kill them, you are one of them. I'm sorry, but your connection with the Krimzon Guard is now terminated. And don't worry. I have already alerted your squad. They will take care of you, and the civilians. Goodbye, General Torn."

"Freeze!"

Torn felt a rifle pointed at his back. He shot his hands up.

"Captain, I'm afraid you've got me. However, there is one more thing. I am still a better fighter than any of you."

In one quick movement, Torn grabbed the barrel of the rifle, yanked it from the Captain's hands, jabbed him with the butt of the gun in the face, and flipped over on top of his Zoomer. He rose in the air, pulled out his pistol and shot the nearest Zoomer, causing a chain explosion. He flew out of the Venting area and headed straight for Haven Forrest to see Ashelin.

Don't worry, I'll do more, and it will get better.
