Indestructible - chapter 1
In the dark underbelly of G.U.N., a single prisoner was to be held approximately -2,000 feet below sea level. Most agents would agree he was too dangerous for the surface world, but with tempers rising and a civil war breaking out every decade, what else could they do? Stuck between a rock and a hard place Commander Abraham was left with little choice, he had to release the dark one from his sleep. If he didn't there would be nobody to counter the only nuclear superpower only Mobius and the small kingdom wouldn't make it. Time was of the essence, humans and mobians would be wiped out in less than a year's time if the prisoner wasn't released. With options limited it was left to the commander to make the hardest decision in his life. Too bad it was also the worst decision, one that would only bring the planet to its knees if it wasn't handled with care.
"Commander what's the call here?! We could be wiped out tomorrow and yet you stand there like and idiot! Why aren't you releasing him?! We have to if we want to stand any kind of chance!" yelled a single soldier, a private (fresh meat),full of fury.
Truth be told, it had been 6 months since the Commander was warned, and yet he stood idly by as his country, his friends, and his family were threaded by some terrorist that couldn't show their face. Without a single fuck to give, the commander secretly located the threat but, there was no way he could send troops in, he needed a different approach thus he considered releasing a worse threat to eliminate this planetary terror.
"You old fuck! Can you even hea-"
"Yes I hear you! But did you realize the risk in letting HIM out?! He is a force to recons with, not some small time terrorist that has nuclear capabilities!"the commander's words fired back with an unrelenting force, almost a ground shaking yell. "If we let him out", he continued "we could end up having our asses handed to us as well as nuclear Armageddon being started anyway! Do you think I want to sit here and simply twiddle my thumbs trying to find an excuse to let this kingdom burn to hell?!"
"I didn't know, but that's no excuse for why we just stand around! "
"If you value your life you would leave me alone to a terrible decision. The way I see it we won't make it out no matter what."
With the commander's last words the private turned and slowly exited the room,stopping just in the doorway simply to say "What are the chances we make it? Consider that overnight instead of how 'Which one will hurt worse?' okay. I'll report back tomorrow morning and take up our argument where it left off... Good night commander."
Abraham's brow furrowed as he took in his private's about 15 more minutes of sorrowful pondering, Abraham rose from his chair and left his office. It was quite a long walk but it would be worth it to save the people he cared about, his fellow country men, and himself. Walking in the almost dead office. The only squads that were still there was full of the higher ups, such as himself, and the alpha squad. They would hopefully accept their newest member once he was released.
Upon reaching the end of the blacked hallway, the commander stepped into an elevator before producing a key from his left pocket. He ducked down and placed this metallic object into a slot beneath the ordinary buttons, and twisting it every so slowly to the right, ending by pressing a glowing blue button.
'Well time to prepare myself for the amount of mental illness I'm about to get'
Those were Abraham's last thoughts as he was quickly dropped down into a simple lab, nothing was special except for the small G.U.N. emblem on the reserved commando had always hated having to go down here just to have to lower himself further. However now was a grave time, one bad move and there wouldn't be a restart, only a game over in terms of life. With this risk in mind Abraham walked into the supply closet and retrieved a set of goggles with bright red glowing lenses. Without a moment of hesitation he slipped them over his bloodshot eyes. Once the goggles were secured to his face, the old leader poured hydrochloric acid onto a shelf in the back, releasing fluids to burn through the floor, revealing a dark cell.
"It's about time.", a calm voice called out from the other end of the bars, seemingly belonging to an old friend perhaps.
"You know why your back there but when did you wake up?", the commander was simply shooting the breeze like he didn't know what was about to wasn't the first time doing this, bit he never saw the most obvious thing coming: demands.
"Is it finally my one day of the year in the yard?" the figure asked almost enthusiastically
"You'll get more than a day if you can help me"
"DAMN YOU! LET ME OUT ALREADY! YOU KEEP ME STUFFED IN HERE FOR 50 YEARS, SLAUGHTER MY BROTHERS GOOD NAME, MAKE HIM KILL HIMSELF SAVING YOU AND THEN YOU CLONE HIM AND LOCK ME UP! ALL FOR WHAT?! PEOPLE WHO DON'T RESPECT OR CARE FOR YOU?! THE FAMILY THAT DESERTED YOU?! OR MAYBE FOR YOUR OWN SELFISH GREED! WHICH WAS IT?! WHAT DID YOU COME TO CRY ABOUT TO ME FOR THIS TIME?!" It was obvious that the voice had changed from a calm soothing voice enveloping other with hope, to a more rage filled voice forcing despair into anyone who spoke to it.
" Calm down Dark I'm letting you go...if you can do the world a favor..." even under the pressure of the being behind bars the commander stayed as. levelheaded as possible in order to carry out his negotiation.
"What kind of favor?" Dark inquired " If the end results are my death I will break out, kill you, and finally break back in."
"It's simple, all you have to do is shut down a nuclear weapons facility on the other side of Mobius"
"Give in to my demands and we'll have a deal."
"G.U.N. can provide you with many things, but we can't return Maria to you. I'm sorry."
"Shut your mouth about her! I meant the demands as follows: 1) You clear my records leaving no criminal charges or warrants, 2) I get my own private land wherever I want it for however big I want it, and finally 3) I get to join G.U.N."
"Fine as you wish but be warned, it won't be easy training to get in and become an actual agent."
