So this chapter got alot of negative feedback. Some critisism, other just flames.

I figured I'd step back and leave, see if ideas came.

They did, after I completely forgot about it.

So, finally, here is the revised version. I'll be going over the previous chapters as well.

If anyone has any ideas, feel free to review or PM me.

First, the political situation of the world currently and what led to the creation of the DEAD MEN.

As of August 27th, 2087, England and America were in a alliance, sharing resources, manpower and money.

January 1st 2088, North Korea attacked the UK with it's nukes. The country was decimated and the death toll was around 65 million people.

Enraged, America sent nukes and destroyed North Korea entirely, wiping it off the face of the Earth.

January 2nd 2088, Any English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh survivors are granted refuge by Russia, making American leaders grateful. Korean survivors are refused and turned away.

February 3rd 2088, Japan offers a solution to the massive population increase in Russia by giving up part of their land for English citizens. America and Russia very thankful and all three countries leaders agree to meet in person.

February 5th 2088, All three countries work together and create the Treaty of Paris, the meeting place of the leaders. The Treaty stated that America, Russia and Japan would work together to help the survivors and hunt down any Koreans. All three countries agreed to share resources within reason and share technologies.

November 18th 2088, the Californian Crisis, a massive crash in the Stock Market originating from California, happens, ruining America's economy and putting their country at risk. Japan and Russia heed to their terms and help America out, with raw materials, fixing it's crisis in record time of a month.

December 25th 2088, A cure for cancer and HIV is found, AIDS treatable but still dangerous. Millions rejoice.

March 15th 2089, The Gaming Industry in Japan is revolutionized as the Nerve Gear, which allows players to become the player in the game and use the in-game weapons, skills etc etc, is released and mass-produced as well as mass-purchased. Japan shares this tech with America and Russia, making gamers in both countries ecstatic.

May 5th 2089, the radiation in England finally sinks to manageable levels and HAZMAT crews sweep for areas to rehabilitate. Not many are found, but English, Irish and Scottish people are thankful nonetheless.

June 4th, 2089, the 'Animated Heaven' VRRPG is released along with a new version of VR, the AmuSphere. The 'Animated Heaven' VRRPG allows you to purchase different fictional characters, a Demon or Angel for example, and develop relationships with the sentient, sapient virtual characters, from enemies to sex slaves to lovers. Suicide rates drop massively after it's production and depression is a lot less common.

July 2nd, 2090, 'Apollo' was born.

July 2nd, 2091, the third World War. Having become aggressive under it's new leader and invading a lot of land, including Finland, Kazakhstan, Lithuania and Belarius, Japan and America demand to know why Russia is doing this. Fearing betrayal by the two powerhouses, the leader demanded the two countries join as per the terms of their treaty. Japan and America tell Russia that they had already broken the terms of the treaty and a long and bloody war between Japan, America against Russia.

October 16th, 2095: Russian troops win crucial battle within Ukraine, pushing American and Japanese out of Ukraine.

December 31st 2102: Russia is caught off-guard by rebellions appearing all over their conquered land. Rebellions co-ordinated by vets. Military outposts have supplies stolen, vehicles set on fire. Equipment is stolen and communication arrays destroyed with stolen hardware. Food sources deny giving food to the army. The frontline starves with little equipment. American and Japanese steamroll across the Russian font.

March 2nd 2103: Russian troops being decimated quickly. Russia diverts troops to forcefully taking what is needed. More people join the rebellions, and the military now has food and materials, however acres of land is rendered infertile by explosives. Rebelliions become larger in scale and objective. Now, the Russian people are actively fighting against the government.

July 18th 2108: The Russian army is in a terrible state. Entire platoons are surrendering without firing what little ammo they have. The war is mainly clean-up now.

September 6th, 2111, WWIII comes to an end, Russia surrenders. All the land they invaded is returned and Russia is placed under the Order of Fidelity. Russia's trade lines are closely monitored, their army is not allowed to exceed 500,000 men, and they must pay regular instalments of money. The death toll for WWIII is estimated to be around 3 billion. Now, every September 6th, everybody has five minutes of silence to remember their hero's who died in the war. America starts looking for alternate ways to produce soldiers. Japan removes their 'One-child' policy to boost population.

April 2nd, 2112, Dr. Cassandra Green develops the cybernetic implants needed for Project Ascension. Cybernetics require complete memory wipe to work correctly.

April 15th, 2112: A prototype DEAD MAN is made, dubbed Project Awakener. Implants and enhancement are made to a terminally ill volunteer. The volunteer's illness is accelerated, rapid cell development causes tumours and abnormal bone growth. The volunteer does not possess any of the desired outcomes. Project Awakener is a failure.

April 16th-29th 2112: Numerous patients tested. Each a failure of varying degree, the third was killed by the implants, until the twelfth shows all of the desired to a minor degree..

July 17th, 2112, The first DEAD MAN is created. Zeus is a massive success but remembers nothing of his past life. America releases to the public about the 'Titans' they had created. Memory loss is not in the public file. Dr. Green becomes the unofficial mother of the DEAD MEN. Japan sent skeleton info about the 'Titans'.

November 17th 2112, Apollo is integrated into the DEAD MEN program, considered the smoothest operation so far..

February 5th 2113, today.

"Thank you for coming on such short notice Apollo. Ahh, I have been in talks with the Emperor of Japan and he has given us access to learn about the Giant Antimatter Teleporter Engine, or the GATE." President Trump began, the cybernetic augments in his body keeping him alive despite his old age. General Burns took over.

"Japan has told us that they have no idea what this GATE is or where it came from. They asked us to send some troops of ours to stop rioting because some of their police have been killed. Miller here has started telling us about what we should do." General Burns featured to James Miller.

"Thank you sir. Now, the best course of action would be to send troops of moderate experience to Japan with Apollo sneaking along with them. The soldiers would prevent rioting while Apollo would search Japan to see if they had anything to do with the Gate. If we find that Japan has found a way to another dimension, as the scientists have said, then we demand to know why Japan had not shared this technology. If not, we assist the Japanese in studying and understanding the GATE. Here are files of Japanese security on the Gate and what little they knew, and news stations reporting about it." Miller stated. You, General Burns and President Obama start to think.

"Thank you Miller, dismissed." General Burns ordered. Miller stood up, saluted and left. Present Trump leaned forward on the table.

"We need to find out what this GATE is and if it threatens anyone. General Burns I am giving you my permission to send troops to Japan as soon as possible." President Trump ordered. Burns nodded and left the room.

"Apollo. Your presence is the most important in our plan. I will send for you when I have something that will help you. In the meantime, brush up on your stealth. Dismissed." President Trump ordered. You stand, salute, and leave.

A tunnel allows you to leave the secret base and brings you to the back of the ruined building.

The doors shut behind you and the camouflage of dirt covers it back up. You begin to sprint back to the desert base.

You have a lot to do.

As well as that strange meet-up with that female soldier.

Now, I know there wasn't a lot of story, but bare with me. In another month or seven, there'll be another chapter.

You determine if that was sarcasm or not.
