Hey guys, sorry for the long wait. I got into a car accident and broke my wrist, so I had to spend a little bit in the hospital and even longer away from the story cause I couldn't write with my wrist. Now that I'm all healed up I should be good to go!


We continue, the SUVs keep following us, Julia isn't stepping on the gas, as to see what they will do. However after a bit, she speaks up.

Julia: "I've noticed hatches on the roof, minigun emplacements, these are definitely hostiles."

I open the weapon wheel

Ryan: "I have a rocket la-"

Julia: "No, we can't kill them."

Julia slams her foot down, the hatches on the Jags open and Miniguns fold out, people wearing dark purple and yellow mount the weapons and open fire. However the bullets do little damage, as the car is bulletproof.

Julia: "Shit! Shadelight!"

Ryan: "Shadelight? I thought they weren't around anymore!"

Julia: "They've been hunting me for years, the problem is, if we found you had connections to the currently awake. They probably have, too."

Ryan: "But what would they want with me?"

Julia: "Well, your character broke containment, and issued a massive breakout, you had the original stable eye...that or they want to use you as bait so that they can capture and torture your friends."

Ryan: "Can we please deal with them instead of talking!"

Julia: "Use your Evo, shoot out the tires!"

I nod and equip my Skorpion, before rolling down the window, I have to be careful, I haven't died in this game, but I don't want to know what happens if I do. I peer barely around the sill and open fire on one of the tires of the SUVs, the tire pops, causing the car to careen and slam into one next to it, taking out both of them. The other two abandon the miniguns and start to squeeze the car between them.

Ryan: "Julia!"

Julia: "Goddamnit! Hold it steady!"

I grab the wheel as she lets go, her eye glows brightly.

Julia: "YEAAGH!"

She releases a massive shockwave, throwing the SUVs into the buildings around us, one got stuck in the wall and started vibrating. Julia started panting and slightly collapsed.

Ryan: "Are you alright?"

Julia: "Haah...haah...yeah, that just drains a lot of energy…"

After she recovers, she grabs a hold of the wheel and heads into the mountains.

Julia: "I guess you should meet the others, it's gonna be an hour."

I nod and sleep for a bit.

I wake up to barely see the area completely covered in white, after my vision focuses, I notice that we're driving through a snow capped forest.

Ryan: "Where are we?"

Julia: "About a minute from headquarters."

I look out the windshield, there's a large radio tower above the treeline. Suddenly we end up in a large, snow covered clearing.

Ryan: "Hey, aren't we outside the map's boundaries?"

Julia: "Yes, but there are multiple maps, if you leave one area, you load into another map."

We pull up to a hill with a radio station, getting out, I start to shiver, it's really cold. She leads me up the path, Looking out, I notice 3 outposts in each direction. Finally we reach the door, Julia enters 762 into a keypad, I get a pop-up.

Door code acquired: Silent Echelon Base.

Julia enters and motions me inside, I walk inside and am hit with a blast of warm air, I sigh comfortably.

Julia: "Warm enough? Come on, you need to meet Niko and the others."

I look around the room, It's pretty standard for a radio station, however, there's a hallway leading to nothing. Julia steps up to the wall at the end of the hallway.

Julia: "Bravo two-zero."

A beeping sound is heard as the wall opens up to an elevator. Julia steps in and motions me inside. I shrug and obliged. We go down a few stories before we stop at the bottom floor, where I'm greeted with someone shouting behind the door.

?: "Chaser, Cyka! They're here! Put that away!"

I know that voice…

Julia heads down the hall. I look up.

Ryan: "Xoey, did you synthesise the voice of Life of Boris for a character?"

I'm greeted with a cyan text box saying "Maybe ;)"

I roll my eyes. Life of Boris is a youtube channel that showcases russian culture through the eyes of the slav king: Boris, and sometimes his cousin, Anatoli. I'm a huge fan of them, so it was hard of me to not notice.

[A/N: Not gonna lie, if you don't know boris, watch his videos, they're fucking hilarious. He's really underrated in my opinion.]

I step into a huge room, covered in monitors, a person in a lab coat quickly turns to us.

?: "Ryan, right? Good to see you old friend...though you don't know me, your character does. I'm Doctor Nikolai Elysium."

Ryan: "You're the one who helped us break out?"

Niko: "That is correct. Welcome to Silent Echelon, unlike Shadelight, we use the power of the third eye for good.

Ryan: "Who's we?"

Julia: "You 4, come meet our new teammate."

A group of kids, 3 girls, one boy, each girl looking around the age of 13, the boy is considerably younger. 7 at most, walk into the room. The first to approach me a girl with blonde hair and green eyes, she's wearing a black and green hoodie with these skin tight jeans and combat boots, her hair is short, tied up in the back, letting two locks hang down from the side of her face. She gives me a welcoming smile.

Blonde: "Hey there, welcome to the team. I'm Delilah Chaser."

Delilah points to the other two girls. One is taller than the other, the tall one has a similar hair color to Sayori's though it's a bit more red. It's combed over in a very tomboyish way. She looks at me with these piercing violet eyes, she's wearing a black tank top and a pair of equally black track pants. She has this sort of vibe of "Professional killer, stand clear." The shorter one has long bleached white hair, with dandelion yellow eyes, she's wearing a white coat with a dark red pocketed shirt underneath, as well as a faded navy skirt that goes down to her knees. She appears to be a bit shyer than the other two.

Delilah: "Those two are the Lightwater Sisters, The taller one is Zara, our stealth specialist."

Zara: "What's up?"

Delilah: "And the other is Katherine, our Recon."

Kat: "Hi…"

Julia: "She's like that with everyone, don't worry."

I turn my attention to the boy, who stares at me with the same color eyes as Zara, but with black hair and small glasses, he's wearing a similar outfit as Delilah, with the hoodie being white. He's hiding behind Katherine.

Delilah: "And that is my brother, Isaac. The eye affects everyone differently, and in his case, it gave him incredibly high intelligence, 7 years old and he has an IQ of 260."

Ryan: "Damn!"

Niko: "He helps me with my research from time to time, but even still, he's only a child."

I nod and turn back to Delilah.

Delilah: "As for me, I'm like Julia, a special forces agent. The eye gives me the ability to manipulate light and darkness."

Ryan: "Lemme guess, your birthname is Delilah, but you actually go by Jade."

Jade: "How did you-"

Ryan: "I have my methods"

Jade stares at me for a second, before shaking it off.

Jade is one of my OCs, actually, all of them but Niko and Julia are all Robber Force Characters, but don't expect any of them to show up until after the Covelight trilogy…*Gasp* a fourth wall break inside a fourth wall break! That's like...16 walls, (CheapDeadpoolreferenceischeap)

Jade: "Anyway, Katherine's is that she has incredible eyesight, and Zara's is that she can cloak."

Zara turns invisible for a second to demonstrate.

Jade: "Anyway, I guess I should show you to your room, user."

So all of them can tell. I shrug and follow her to a small room, about the size of a large college dorm room. It's set up exactly as one would expect. Bed in the corner, small table, etcetera. I take some time to settle down. I check the map, which I've just found. I'm in the far north part of the map, The home town is in the southwest corner, the town I was in earlier is in between. I might at some point tell everyone about my warehouse base back home, maybe use that as an outpost.

Time will tell.


Meanwhile, in a secluded area in the forest at the center of the map.

?1: "Well it seems that there are four out in the southwest town. All very similar."

A man in a labcoat speaks to another man, who's turned around in an office chair, facing a window.

?2: "I've felt it. Do we know the Identity of these four?"

?1: "Yes doctor...they're the Alphas."

?2: "...So, after all these years they finally appear on our radar. I assume one of my daughters is one of them?"

?1: "It's the younger one, Yuri. As well as my daughter, Monika."

Dr. Libitina: "...I want them in front of me ASAP. Trinity will shine upon us."

Dr. Palmer: "Trinity will shine upon us."

Palmer walks through a cell block. The crying of children is all he hears. He smiles.
