"Sir. We are receiving a "Need Reinforcements" signal from the end. I have pinpointed the origin, and it looks like the Spec Ops team there sent it." Infinimineralex looked up from his computer to talk to the technician in his doorway. This could mean bad news.
"That's not good. Execute Plan 003. If they are taken, the enemy might learn our secrets and kill our operatives. We CAN'T let that happen. We have to get our ships into the end! You are dismissed!" The technician stood up strait, saluted, and shouted orders into his communication device. Now, normally, I-Corp's soldiers could get ready in 30 Minutes. In times of war, like right now, they could get ready in 5. In times of imminent destruction, or Armageddon, all they needed was one minute. When Plan 003 went underway, I-Corp's status was moved to Armageddon. A capable fighting force was immediately gathered from around the many star systems I-Corp controlled.. It consisted of: 4 Infinity Class Superdreadnoughts. They stored many Pelicans, 40 (10 on each Infinity x4) Strident Class Heavy Frigates, 200 (50 x4) Longsword Interceptors, 80 (20x4) Hotshots (Upgrades of the Bigfoot Walkers), 4 (1 x4 ) Brigades of Bio-Bots, 40 (10x4) squads of Spec Ops Bio-Bots, 100 ( 25 x 4) Machine Gun Humvees, 8 (2 x4) Scorpion Main Battle Tanks, 8 (2 x4) Mammoth Portable M.A.C. cannons, and numerous other vehicles, too many to list here. The four Infinities and their escorts immediately jumped into Slipspace, headed toward the Sky Dimension.
"Arghh! No! Stop! You little… arghh! I'll get you for this! Even now I-Corp's reinforcements are arriving! You'll never beat them! Arghh!" Gamerdude screamed in pain as his captors tried various ways of penetrating his stealth Bio-Suit. They hefted a diamond sword, and thrust it at his chest. The suit's thin carbon fibre armor was powerful enough to absorb the blow, but as it was flexible, the point poked at Gamerdude's exposed shirt, and tore that, releasing a trickle of blood.
"Once we get that armor off of you, you will be torn apart piece by piece!" Herobrine taunted Gamerdude with the blackened body of ArmorSmith. He tried to do a quick evaluation of his team. ArmorSmith and CS were certainly dead. Eclipse and Sky were on tables near him, writhing as if they were fish on the deck. Eclipse's armor had buckled underneath a huge plasma blast, but otherwise else he was fine. Herobrine had yet to do anything to Sky. As Herobrine moved away to see his reaction, Gamerdude turned his head to look at Sky. That's when he realized what he had been missing all along. Sky had had the top of his suit torn off, and he looked at him with eyes and a medallion that glowed gold. He had not, however, been tortured by Herobrine. Gamerdude also had noticed that their enemies didn't seem to willingly attack Sky. Come to think about it, Sky was acting extremely excited, as if he was trying to cover up deep emotions. Gamerdude knew he had to speak up. Rage burned in his heart to think about what Herobrine had done to Sky. He cleared his throat to speak, but before he could utter a word, Sky spoke up.
"So you figured it out. I could tell from your facial expression."
"Why didn't you tell me?! I was on your side! I thought you were my friend! You betrayed me! You… traitor! You don't deserve to live! Gamerdude retorted, out of breath from the volume he spoke at.
"Please! I had to or else I would have been killed by I-Corp! They caught on and were going to kill me, but luckily you signed the contract that put us into the army. They said if I told, I would be killed. I meant no harm! "
"You… I knew it all along! " This time it was Eclipse who spoke up. "I know the symptoms of someone getting taken over by something else. I know because I have seen it happen. "
"What!" Gamerdude was surprised at this. "What happened?"
"I know you've heard of the Nanites. We created them. We destroyed them. I was a guard at the laboratory where Infinimineralex created the Nanites. I was on lunch break in the city around the lab when I heard sounds of a gunfight. I immediately got up, grabbed my gun, and ran outside with my comrades. Civilians and guards alike streamed past me, screaming things like: "Run before they get you!" and "Make sure you aren't infected!" We ran in the opposite direction, and then we saw what made the civilians run. The ground was rapidly turning black and red, and people screamed as other people covered in Nanites, or at least what looked like them, touched the screamers, and when they did, their bodies became black and red, and they started fighting for the Nanites. We forced our eyes to look past the carnage and we immediately saw the lab in ruins, still smoking from the self destruct explosion. We raised our guns and fired, white phosphorus tracer rounds punching through the Nanite wraiths' feeble skin. It did absolutely nothing to the Nanites, and instead of the Nanites being torn apart, they seemed to absorb the bullets, making the wraiths that much bigger. My squadmate tripped, to me he fell in slow motion, looking down at the black and red ground. As he fell he reached out as if to utter his last words… I lost all of my squadmates that fateful day." Eclipse sniffled, and he started to cry to himself, mourning the loss of his friends. Gamerdude had heard of the Nanites, but didn't know that they were that bad. He was lucky that I-Corp had developed the Anti-Nanites, which, on impact, burned and froze the Nanites into submission. Billions died from the Nanite plague, many were consumed, many were killed, and hope was nearly lost. Even the Sky dimension had an infection. Even now, pockets of Nanites remained around the world. As he was imagining the fate of those pockets, the ground shook. Herobrine and his H.E. Guards fell to the floor. Herobrine stood up.
"What was that! Go find out, now!" The H.E. guards ran from the room. Endermen could be heard screaming in pain and there were many gunshots and grenade explosions outside. Herobrine glanced at Eclipse and Gamerdude, and grabbed them off their beds, ripping the weakening straps that tied them down. As they were still weak, they didn't resist. Herobrine ran toward a small cage and tossed Eclipse and Gamerdude in, then locked the door and ran off, saying:
"I'll be back, and when I am, I'll kill you! You've ruined everything! Burn in hell!"
At that point, Gamerdude knew his reinforcements had arrived.
