Timeline: Freak Nation
Summary: My contribution to the fight to save DA. A little different from what most of you might have read. But, a transgenic prepares for war.
Author's Note: Even though it's been a while since I've written fanfiction, this is the least I can do. This and write as many letters as I can.
Disclaimer: The story of Dark Angel sadly doesn't belong to me. If it did, none of us would ever have come to this.

Sometimes when I think the world is going to crash down on me, I think of all the wonderful things that have happened since I left Manticore. The friends I have made, and the love they give me. Now, the world is crashing down. I've been forced to leave my friends just as I was getting a hang on normal life. Now, I don't know if they forgive me for lying to them, or hate me as so many of the anti-transgenic norms seem to.
I can only hope, as hope seems to be the only light we are all living on now. Hope that one by one, the norms will realize that we are not the enemy. The enemy is amongst them. The lying, cheating, and stealing government officials who are using us as an excuse to cover their own rear- end. They shouldn't be afraid of us. We were created to protect the American people. To protect them from any enemies. Don't they realize that? Many of us have taken the battlefield to save them the cost of losing beloved children, spouses, and lovers. Many of us have lost friends, brothers, and sisters to save their lives. How can they turn against us now? Their money brought us to life, and our lives gave them life.
But now I realize. The flood is coming. The great flood which will wipe out the once perfect people. In the eyes of our creators, our gods, we have sinned when some of us took human lives. And now the flood will come to wipe out their mistakes, us.
So now we prepare for war. We have to make our creators face what they have created. However hideous or monstrous they may think we are, we have to make them face us and understand what they have given life to. We are as human as they are and deserve a chance at life. We can't build ourselves an ark in this flood, and hope to survive, but we won't allow them to wipe us out. We are their children, and as our parents, they must begin to take responsibility for what they have created. As one nation, as one race, as one people, we will take a stand and fight.
* * *
Freak Nation isn't the end, it's just the beginning of something truly awesome and unique in its own way. And it should be allowed to wrap up and finish in its own way, not be dictated by someone who thinks they know everything.
