Chapter 1

Last Straw

He was tired of running. His people had to hide in underground shelters or flee to space. Because, of the Eurasia incident and the ensuing pollution humans had lost almost everything. To make matters worse no sooner than had the pollution been removed Red Alert fought against the maverick hunters in a massive war that they had called a 'duel'. Next the new generation Reploids went berserk. The promised 'safe' new Reploids were capable of going maverick anyway and the hunters had that monster Zero… General Corian stood up in front of his fellow humans. "Enough is enough! Must humanity-the supreme race suffer needlessly for eternity? The world was not ready for Reploids. We must cleanse this world and rebuild. Then, we can think of that 'species' again."

"What do you propose Sir?" a soldier asked him.

"Reploids must die-every Reploid. Even the hunters."

A collective gasp went through the building.

"General Corian you have gone insane!" The President exclaimed.

"No I haven't. This is for our liberty and security. We must battle for our own individual rights and our own survival." He responded.

"You are using the words of repliforce's former General?" President Jack seemed stunned.

"Irony is it not? They attempted to destroy us and their words will be used to destroy them. I tire of this game Jack. What have Reploids brought besides destruction and chaos? Nothing! The human population dwindles while Reploids multiply and mavericks are born in their wake. I am tired of seeing us bow to Reploids. I'm tired of hiding and I'm tired of humans dying. No more war must come!" He shouted passionately.
