Sapphire City
"Welcome back Sod" a man greeted Sod. Sod and Mark has just entered the United Forces headquarters. The place was a huge hi-tech military base. Everyone inside the headquarters was dressed in silvery-blue military suits. Sod was dressed in a suit just like those but filled with medals all over his chest. After all, he was the commander. They all began to stare at Mark who wasn't dressed in the United Forces suit. Instead, Mark was dressed in a purple military suit from Mikor City. "How you doin' Erik?" Sod asked the man who had greeted him. "I'm fine," Erik replied, "so you brought a new one huh?" "Yeah" Sod told him. "Well let's get you a suit" Erik said turning to Mark. Mark nodded and all three of them walked towards a laundry room. Erik took one of the United Forces suits and handed it to Mark. "There you go, what's your name?" Erik told Mark. "My name is Mark" Mark answered.
Five minutes later, after Mark put the suit on; an alarm sounded all over the place. "Alert, Metal Heads breaking the city walls!" the alarm yelled in a computer-like voice. "Metal Heads already!?" Mark told himself. He ran out of the dressing room and found Sod and Erik. "Let's go!" Erik cried. Mark, Erik, and Sod ran out of the base followed by twenty-six other soldiers. Outside, they found themselves with thirty-seven Sapphire City soldiers. They were all dressed in yellow military suits. "The Metal Heads are almost breaking the city walls near the Water Slums" the Sapphire City commander informed them. "Then what are we waiting for?" Sod asked. They all ran towards the Water Slums. The silvery-blue and yellow soldiers got to the city walls—well, what was left of the city walls. Five Metal Heads were right in front of them ready to attack. "FIRE!!!!" Sod ordered the troops, and they all obeyed. Shots flew everywhere as the Metal Heads slowly weakened. When the final Metal Head fell to the ground, the soldiers cheered. Only Sod, Mark, Erik, and the Sapphire commander weren't cheering. "Fools! It's not over yet, back to your positions!" the Sapphire commander ordered. The soldiers stopped cheering and waited for more Metal Heads to try to get into the city. Twenty-five more Metal Heads ran towards them. It was a stampede of four-legged Metal Heads with claws and teeth sharp as daggers. The Metal Heads roared as they attacked the soldiers. Mark, whose hands were shaking because of fear, grabbed his gun and re-charged it. He shot every Metal Head he could spot. He had a glimpse of the Sapphire commander who was lying on the ground with his face covered in blood. A Metal Head approached the commander ready to devour him.
Mark shot the beast five times before it dropped to the ground next to the wounded commander. The commander gave a weak smile and pointed to the direction behind Mark. Mark turned around to see a big Metal Head jumping towards him. He shot it desperately until it stopped breathing. "Thanks commander" Mark thanked. "No," the Sapphire commander said, "thank you." The battle continued as more and more Metal Heads took advantage of the broken barrier. "We can't hold them much longer! What do we do now!?" Erik asked Sod desperately as he kept shooting. "The repair team is on their way!" Sod replied. They had to scream to talk to each other because only shots and claws diving into skin could be heard. Finally, the repair team arrived and covered the empty space where the city wall used to be. The remaining soldiers took deep breaths as they lowered their weapons. "How long will it remain closed?" Mark asked aware that they only used a substitute. "It will last about forty-eight hours" the lead repair man answered. "We'll have an actual replacement built in twelve hours" he continued. "Ok" Mark said. He just wanted to make sure they would have an actual replacement ready before the substitute fell down. Mark saw Sod talking through his communicator. "Ok, I'm on my way" Sod said to the person on the other side of the line. He clicked the communicator off and put it back in his pocket. Sod approached Mark. "We gotta go" Sod told Mark. "To where?" Mark asked confused. "To Flaknit City" Sod responded. "Why?" Mark asked. "Because Baron Slogan wants to see you, Erik, and I" Sod replied.
