Chapter 25

A silhouetted figure is watching the American Empire wage war against the Resistance… his Resistance. He had been in JBLM when the world turned to shit and had started to play with events afterwards. He even was friends with Jake… and Isaac. He even was keeping tabs on his creation. A door opens up behind him and he sees a guard walk in.

The figure smiles. "Is everything going as planned?"

"Yes sir. The American Empire and your Resistance are waging war against each other, sir."

"Good. But James, call my forces what they really."

"You got it sir. The Initiative will win sir. But may I ask you something, sir?"

"Sure. Go right ahead."

"Well… how will the Initiative win sir? I mean, we, the Confederacy of Independent Arms, have enough forces and weapons to conquer this whole world seventy five times."

"The Initiative will win because Alex will attack them in Oklahoma, and he will lose."

"But how will he lose?"

"Because Jordan, who I am very fond of because he has a light in him, yet he is darker than night, will convince the other werewolf masters to join him against the American Empire. Alexis, she will serve her purpose in the end. Sarah will meet her fate eventually as well."

"But A-"

"Do not call me by my first name, soldier. Call me sir or commander. Nothing else. Understood?"

"Yes sir. Commander, do you have an idea on how to make our existence unknown?"

"Why are you concerned about that? They can't find our base hidden within the snowy plains of Alaska. If they ever thought to investigate the anomaly on the map that appears next to Nome, we would have been discovered. But since it's an anomaly, why would they try to discover what it is when it could just be an error in the system."

"Sir, thank you for answering my questions. But one more question sir; what happens when the Initiative wins?"

The figure smiles. "Why, they will join us. If not, they will lose for we control where the power is distributed. We can simply shut down all of the factories and they will be at a disadvantage as we hit them like rolling thunder."

"Thank you, sir. I'll get Richer on the line. He needs to know what the plan is."

"Thank you James. That will be all."

James nods his head and leaves the figure to do his work.

Alex is standing in the Oval Office looking upon the city that was filled with life.

Isaac walks in and as Alex turns around, he sees that Alex's eyes are bloodshot.

Isaac asks him, "Are… are you alright… sir?"

Alex slowly nods his head. "I'm… I'm fine. I just… need to sleep."

Isaac smiles at him. "Alright sir. Oh, you have a message on your computer."

Alex turns towards the computer and sees the message: New Message, being repeated on the screen. He walks over to it and clicks on the message.

The message reads: Alex, commander of the American Empire, head to Oklahoma and confront the Resistance there. We have high hopes that you win.

Signed, the Confederacy of Independent Arms

Alex frowns at the screen. "The Confederacy of Independent Arms? Who are they?"

Isaac shrugs his shoulders. "I have no idea sir. I've never heard of them. What do they want?"

"They want me… to confront the Resistance in Oklahoma."

"Really? Oklahoma is a wasteland, sir. After the great fire that nearly destroyed it in 2013 occurred, there's nothing left except desert and ash. What is there to gain there?"

"Alex shrugs his shoulders. "I don't know, but that's where we're headed."

Isaac nods his head. "Alright sir. We'll start preparing for the trip sir. Just say when."

"Alright Isaac. Just make sure that our forces are ready to go to war."

"Yes sir!"

Isaac turns around and leaves. Alex smiles and as he looks back out the window again, he starts swearing at Jordan under his breath.

The commander of the Confederacy of Independent Arms, or otherwise known as the Confederate Empire, was actually waging a war against the American Empire. The American Empire and the Confederate Empire were going head to head and clashing throughout the world. The American Empire had been trying to find out who was giving weapons to the Resistance and they found the Confederate Empire had been shipping weapons and soldiers to back the Resistance.

When the American Empire notified the world that the Confederate Empire is backing the Resistance, wars started to erupt all across the world. The American Empire has been pushing back the Confederates, but when Europe, Asia, and South America started to back the Confederates, the end was already near.

The Americans never dealt with going head-to-head against a completely unified force. The Confederates had more weapons, factories, men, and vehicles, as well as wealth, plus supporters that were willing to reinforce the Confederacy. The Confederacy needed to push the American Empire so that Alex would become threatened and start to go all out against the Resistance, which the Confederacy was supporting.

If the Resistance lost, Alex believed that the Confederacy would fall as well. Unfortunately for him, irony was going to play a vital part in the war.

The leader of the Confederacy was watching as his forces were pushing back the American Empire in Africa. The world was suddenly split into two warring empires; The American Empire… and the Confederate Empire. The battle that that would decide the fate of the world never happened. The United States was split in two; East and West. The Confederates owned the West side and their capital was Sacramento. The Americans controlled the East side and their capital was still D.C.

At the head of these two empires were the same threat and yet so different. Alex, the original leader of the Triumvirate who then went into war against Isaac, but put in his place one of his best friends, Alek. Alek was leading the American Empire with Isaac. Alex was leading the Confederate Empire with Jake. Alex still doesn't know that Balto is alive, but Alek does. Alek has been jealous of Balto so he had decided to kill him.

In D.C, Alex, or Alek, was looking upon the city of D.C. At the same time, Alex, the actual Alex, was walking through the city of Sacramento. Texas, as well as a bunch of other Southern states, sided with the Confederates while New York and a bunch of Northern states sided with the Americans. It ended up leading to both sides having twenty-five states.

Alek hated werewolves while Alex loved them. Once you align yourself with an alpha, or in this case, Kyle who was in control again, they will join your forces.

One year ago

Kyle is walking through the worn torn lands of Kansas when a helicopter lands in front of him. He tries to recognize it, but the Confederate battle standard perplexes him. As the doors slide open, he sees… a wolf/dog hybrid with silver eyes, a grey uniform, and two guards next to him. Alex.

Kyle glares at him. "So the fucking traitor emerges."

Alex starts to laugh. "I think you have me confused with someone else. For example, Alek, the leader of the American Empire… my predecessor. But do not be alarmed Kyle, I am fighting for what is right."

"Oh yeah? What's that? Yourself!"

"No Kyle. I'm fighting to release the whole world from Alek's evil grasp. He wants to kill the werewolves. I want to study them to figure out more about them. But the only way I can do that is if I defeat Alek."

Kyle starts to think for a minute, and then suddenly says, "What about Balto?"

Alex frowns at him. "Balto's… alive?"

A/N: And war is the one thing that never changes. The South will rise again, but in the West. Weird. R&R
