This is a monologue I wrote after successfully playing and beating the Xbox 360 game Gears of War. Gears of War is copyrighted by Epic and Microsoft. I do not own any of the characters, story, blah blah blah; you get it.
Sergeant Marcus Fenix Gears of War Monologue
"Fourteen years
ago hell rose from the earth, literally.
Ruthless and blood
thirsty, it attacked every major city.
Innocent women and
children were killed, executed.
Murdered.
I was only
a boy then, and I decided to join the coalition.
I couldn't have
been clearer on my decision as I was then.
My minds eye was clear
although my father was a lieutenant.
For years I trained, fought,
trained, and fought as it spread.
Until that one day, at Aspho Fields.
Pinned down by the enemy, we got a distress
signal.
It was my father, so I had no other choice but to
acknowledge his crisis.
What a mistake that had been, going after
him.
Leaving my team behind for EVAC.
I made it to
him before he died, but late never-the-less.
He was killed,
stabbed through the heart.
The pain I felt then, the misery.
It
was like a blade piercing my heart.
I had been hiding for a
while, until one of the Wretches found me.
He screamed before I
could break his neck with my Shotgun.
So I did the only thing I
could do.
I ran.
And when I couldn't run anymore, I
fought.
I fought desperately with every round of ammunition.
I
took down the enemy and made it back to the HQ.
Three days had passed.
I was put on trial for insubordination, and found
guilty.
What did I care? I lost my father to the beasts.
For
a year I laid inside a dank, dusty old cell.
That is, until Dom
came. He said everyone had been pardoned.
It was then that I knew
they needed me, and I'd take the challenge.
I suited up in my
armor and headed out with Dom to regroup with Delta.
I
thought I had it easy with the team, but it only got harder.
Kim,
the leader was killed just like my father was, and by the same
hostile.
Carmine, the rookie sniper was shot after his rifle
jammed.
It was just me, and Dom. We had met up with Alpha squad.
Cole and Baird.
Ambushed, we were forced inside and
up against a Berserker.
We were able to obtain a Hammer of Dawn
and kill it, before it killed us.
But once that was over, things
began heating up.
I got promoted to Sergeant, and was instructed
to lead Delta.
Well, I'm not doing it for the coalition, or the
god damned Colonel.
If it was up to me, I'd forget the whole
thing. But there's one detail...
We are the Gears and this is our War."
