Chapter 11

A week after Kyle had escaped; Alex met with two other sergeants in a secret location. One was a large black male whose name was Jake Thompson. He had been through two wars; the Gulf War and the War on Terrorism. During his tour in Iraq, he had met up with Alex and they've been friends ever since Alex saved his life… twice.

The other was a brown German shepherd named Isaac and he had been deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was about to be shot by a sniper when Alex came and had taken the bullet for him. That gave him a chance to kill the shooter… which he did. He stayed with Alex in the hospital until he was fully healed and have been friends ever since that day.

Jake looks at Alex and asks, "So how did your mission for finding the alpha go?"

Alex turned his head to the right and pointed at the three scars. "Obviously, not too well. The guy that I hired, my best friend Kyle, did this to me. So I'm going to hunt him 'til the end of-"

A loud crash followed by a bunch of screams is heard in the distance. Alex looks at the other two sergeants and asks, "What the fuck was that?"

The other two shrug their shoulders. Alex looks at the calendar, which says that the date… is August 12, 2012.

Alex looks up at the sky and sees a full moon, but it was different than any other full moon he has seen. This one was as red as blood.

Alex looks at the other sergeants and says, "We have a blue moon guys."

Isaac nods his head. "Yeah, there was going to be one today."

Alex nods his head. "Yeah, and we placed the epidemic to the next blue moon. We set it today."

Jake falls to his knees. "May God help us all."


Balto is with his fiancée Jenna. He had taken her to the same spot he proposed to her. As they're walking, Balto turns his head towards Jenna and kisses her on the cheek. She squeals in delight and kisses him back.

Balto looks at her and says jokingly, "Jenna run, I'm going to get you!"

Jenna starts to laugh and runs off, only to be pursued by Balto.

As Balto is getting closer, he sees her stop and as he is about to catch her, a pair of headlights come on and blind the two for a moment.

Balto suddenly hears, "Civilians, you must evacuate the city. I repeat-evacuate the city. You are in danger."

Balto realizes that he recognizes that voice. It's Alex.

Balto looks at the truck again and asks, "Alex, is that you?"

Alex ignores him and says, "Civilians, get out of here! You're in- Look out!"

Balto turns around and a wolf… thing is charging right at them. Balto gets in front of Jenna, in case it attacks her, but the creature is gunned down by Alex, who is manning the machinegun.

Alex then yells out, "Civilians, you are in danger! Evacuate the city! Get into your car and drive as fast as you can to the Vaults. When you get there, you will receive further instructions. Now go!"

Balto and Jenna nod their heads and they both run to Balto's car and get in. Balto starts it up and they both drive off towards the Vaults.

Alex looks down at the driver and says, "Move into the city. We need to start trying to clear out some of the buildings."

The driver nods his head. "Yes sir!"


Paul is in a jail cell, waiting for his transfer, when one of the police officers came in.

The officer looked at Paul and starts to laugh. "I can't wait for you to be transferred you piece of shit."

Paul was about to say something when a wolf-like creature attacked the officer. The officer screamed as the beast started to disembowel him. There were more screams and Paul ran to the corner and curled up into a ball, hoping he would go unnoticed. Somehow, it worked as the creatures soon left.

Paul got out of his corner and saw that the police officer's body was close to the cell. He crawls over and reaches through and yanks the keys off of the guard's belt. He stands up and unlocks his cell. He opens the cell door and walks out and proceeds to run towards his hideout.

After about three hours, he arrives, but something isn't right. He approaches the battered door and walks inside. Through the flickering lights he can see blood all over the walls and dripping from the ceiling. He ignores the sights… and the smells and walks into the lounging area.

As soon as he entered the lounging area, he came across a sight that would haunt him forever. All over the room were his dead companions, all of them ripped apart. He falls to his knees and vomits. He wipes his mouth and as he turns around, he sees the German shepherd Roger holding a wooden beam.

Paul sidesteps as Roger swung at him. Paul then asks, "Roger, what the hell is going on?!"

Roger stops and drops the beam. "Boss, they came out of nowhere. Killer was… just ripped apart like he was clay. Rick tried to run, but they ripped his throat out before he could even get down the hall. Ray ended up transforming into one of the fucking things. I… I hid! I had to listen to the bodies as they were thrown all over the place, Boss! I hid in the utility closet so I wouldn't die! It… it was awful! Blood started to flow under the door and I could hear the screams of people… people dying! They even started throwing body parts around, some of them hitting the closet door! I just curled up into a ball and hid in the back. I didn't want to die!"

Paul grabs his shoulders. "Roger, calm your shit down!"

Roger stops yelling and nods his head. "Alright Boss. We need to get out of here."

Paul nods his head. "Follow me."

Roger nods his head and they both walk towards the exit.

Five minutes later, Paul and Roger walk out of the hideout when a military vehicle stops in front of them. One of the soldiers gets out and looks at Paul. "You two; get in the vehicle! We are escorting you to Joint Base Lewis McChord. Now get in."

Paul and Roger nod their heads and they both get in the jeep. The driver then drives off towards JBLM to bring the two survivors back to base.


Balto and Jenna are driving on I-5 when they come across a military checkpoint. They stop and Jenna looks to her left and sees an Abrams main battle tank running over abandoned cars. She suddenly spots a bunch of civilians on their knees, begging the soldiers for something. Immediately after, the soldiers start to mow them down with a barrage of bullets, before burning the bodies. Jenna closes her eyes and starts to cry.

She looks up at Balto and asks, "How… how did everything turn to shit?"

Balto shrugs his shoulders. "Jenna… I don't know. We need to get to safety as fast as we can. Before anything else-"

Balto never finishes his sentence as he sees three helicopters launching missiles at the Tacoma Dome. He sees fire erupt from the building and the whole building comes crumbling to the ground, with an explosion of dust covering everything. The three helicopters fly off into the distance and disappear from view.

Balto begins to panic. "What the fuck is going on?!"


As Alex and his unit are moving towards Olympia, a werewolf jumps right onto the side of the door and yanks out the driver. The driver starts to scream in terror as the werewolf drags him off into the darkness.

Alex yells out, "Jack! Jack!"

The passenger slides into the driver's seat and begins to drive towards Olympia, knowing full well that Jack… was gone forever.

As they made their way towards Olympia, he hears a loud explosion and the whole city is swallowed in fire and ash. Alex orders the driver to turn around. The driver nods his head and he turns around and starts to head back the way they came. Alex hears a loud explosion and turns around to see a mushroom cloud forming in the distance. Alex begins to tear up, but quickly stops as he forgets about his emotions and starts to hold it in. The driver begins the journey back towards JBLM, where they have recently built steel walls and made it impenetrable.


Three hours later, Alex, Jake, and Isaac arrive at JBLM. Isaac, Jake, and Alex had gone separate paths to get civilians to evacuate and head towards the Vaults. As they arrived at JBLM, they got out of their vehicles and proceeded to enter the front gate.

As they approached the gate, the guard looked at them and says, "Looks like you're the only officers to make it back to base."

Alex looks at him in confusion. "What are you talking about? Isn't there others who made it back as well?"

The guard shakes his head. "I'm sorry, but I think they were all killed off. You guys are the only ones to return."

Jake frowns and asks, "What about the Navy the Marines the Air force, what about them?"

The guard shrugs his shoulders. "I have no idea, though the Air force lost all of its officers, just like us. So again, you're the only officers to return."

Alex then asks, "What about the Navy base up in Everett?"

The guard shrugs his shoulders again. "I have no idea what's going on up there. We lost contact with them an hour ago."

Alex nods his head and he proceeds to enter the base followed by Jake and Isaac.

An hour later, Alex, Jake, and Isaac are in the command center talking to each other.

Alex looks at Isaac and Jake and asks, "When the world goes to shit, can we agree to not kill each other?"

Jake nods his head. "Of course sir. Let's agree to be in an alliance once the 'end of the world' happens."

Isaac nods his head. "Yeah, let's form an alliance here and now."

Alex smiles at them. "Alright then. Today, we shall be called the Sergeant Triumvirate."


The Sergeant Triumvirate was a peaceful alliance, with goals on restoring the world to its former glory after societies crashed. Unfortunately, the Triumvirate started to have a thirst for power and became the dominant force of Earth. They had conquered the whole world, mostly because there was no one to stand against them. When the navy returned, they willingly joined up with the Triumvirate, not because they were evil, but because they were trying to create a utopia without killing any innocents. The Triumvirate suddenly turned its attention to the Vaults, all 3,000 of them. As Alex, Jake, and Isaac sent troops to find them all, they discovered that some of them were already open.

These vaults that were open had released the people who would soon create the foundation of The Resistance. Outmatched and outgunned, these people will still fight on for what they believe is right. The Triumvirate however, had advanced training and weaponry and has a load of resources available to fund and create their deadly machines. At the center of the Triumvirate was Master Sergeant Alex. He was in control of the Triumvirate and was in search of the werewolves. He wanted them all dead. His campaign against them worked to where the werewolves started to live in the nuked regions.


Three years later, Balto and Jenna have started to raise their family in Vault 567. There were seven other families in the vault and everyone was friends with each other, mostly because there wasn't much else to do.

Balto kept wondering what was life like outside of the vaults, not realizing that outside, death was imminent for anyone who didn't have the strength to go on. Balto wanted to go out to see for himself what outside looked like. Soon, he'll get that chance.

A/N: This is probably the most violent chapter I've written. Though it won't be the last violent chapter. Anyways, R&R.
