So my sister recently got me reading Divergent (no that isn't what this story is) and since Four and Patton are so alike I sort of began thinking more of Patton's training side, you know his serious side. I was also thinking about some setting that was like war torn and set sometime in the future…say…50 years.
Probably won't update till I get at least 4 reviews.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything in this story…well I own some things but only a few.
October 4th, 2064, Oceanic Camp
There was a time when there was peace; it was about 50 years ago although my mother says she doubts there was any really peace because of how human beings are. Her and my father were about 5 when the Great War started, no one is sure who started the war but the one thing that everyone has straight is that every other country got tired of Hostem being rich and powerful….Hostem used to be called America…so all the countries attacked Hostem America. Every. Single. One. Italy, Russia, Mexico, all of them, you name one of the ancient countries, any of them, and that country was involved in the attack on America.
America of course fought back, they were always hard-asses, they fought and fought but they lost a lot of their military because of the disease the bomb had in it, it spread pretty quickly, turned people into weird beast that could only come out in the dark, like vampires of some sort. These beast don't drink your blood though, they just tear you apart. Anyway, it took about 2 years for America to be completely destroyed, most people left for what was then called Europe (now it's called Regnum (ray-noom) and it isn't divided into countries, it's all one big settlement) but a few remained, mostly to hunt the creatures of the night called Dark Walkers, the hunters are called Nightingales. 50 years after the fact people have come back but we mostly live in small camps. Except for mine, Oceanic Camp, it's located near what used to be called San Francisco, California. It's where the government was formed. It's technically rebelling to have any government officials that aren't in the employ of Regnum but let's just say that Hostem is trying to build itself back up. That's sort of where the war against us all started up again.
The government didn't start it, Regnum knew we couldn't rebel, even with strong leaders, they were too powerful and too many people were scared of them. A small camp by the name of Reetul started it. Reetul is located where St. Paul, Minnesota used to be and the people up there got their supplies cut which happens to most of the smaller camps in Hostem, they of course got upset and started rallying support to overthrow the Regnum hold in the Hostem camp of Airgloom, located in the vicinity of Miami, Florida. Surprisingly, people actually joined up. That was 25 years ago and the Military and Agent armies are getting stronger. Military fights openly, Agent is undercover in Regnum controlled camps, some have even made it over to Regnum.
There is one more group that joined in the fight along with the Military and Agent armies….the Mercenaries. They technically aren't legal, they've been known to kill good people and give out special information to save their own asses. They are made completely of traitors to the Military and Agent armies also because you have to be joined into one of those armies before the Mercenaries will recruit you. They're currently owned (yes owned) by a man by the name of Cas. He is from Metro Camp; it is by far the worst of the camps. It's located where New York City used to be and was never set to record as an official camp. There are no officers, no officials, and really no laws; they just do what they can to survive because they don't get supplies sent to them by Regnum like the other camps do.
Our current leader is a man named Davis…I don't know his first name and no one knows what he looks like. Even living in the capitol camp we still only ever see his assistant Brian Matthews. Davis is the current leader of the rebellion against Regnum but I think Brian just wants to destroy the Mercenaries before doing anything about Regnum. Most of his speeches as of late have been against them. Chet Peptic is the leader of the Agent Army and Joyce Harvard is the leader of the Military Army. My father is the owner of the supply company Oceanic Express that sends supplies to non-Regnum owned camps. There are a lot more than the Regnum officials say on the television.
You aren't supposed to join the Armies until you come of age at 18 but people join early and usually no one but their parents cares. You can become a Nightingale at anytime though, they don't care if you're 7 years old, they will still recruit you a long as you can kill the Dark Walkers. The Mercenaries are a lot like that as well, but since you need to at least look 18 to join one of the Armies they usually don't have young recruits.
My father used to tell me stories about wars called World War 1 and World War 2, he said people were calling the Great War World War 3 for some time but eventually realized that this was bigger than that, this war has claimed so many and claims more every day. I know I'm supposed to agree with my parent's view of the war and try to stay on a diplomatic side but I can't. It's time to stop talking, and start fighting. Otherwise, we won't stand a chance when Regnum decides to wipe all of us out.
There you are, you like it? That was just the introduction, funny, when I was reading it myself in the mirror it sounded longer…either way…4 reviews if you want this story continued. Until then I'll be updating Screaming Matches which people want me to update but then never review.
