Tiberium War

Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I own nothing of anything.

July 7th, 2041.

Here I am, in my barracks, my home until this bloody war is done. I enlisted for this war just one year ago and spent that year in training, constant training from one group to the next. I went through seven training courses in that year to get me what I am today, a Delta Marine.

Just a year and a half ago I was working in my fathers bookstore not even thinking of what I wanted to do with my life. Within six months my life turned upside down. My parents divorced and that itself split my family in two. My Mom won custody of almost everything leaving my father on his own. One night I got caught drinking by the cops and was arrested, after my release my Mom kicked me out of the house and told me "never to come back." I found an old raggedy apartment and an unsteady job at a pizza parlor. But only after three short months, I was fired and at risk of having my apartment evicted. I was desperate for money so two of my friends who had already enlisted in GDI's military talked me into joining as well. (It's not like I had much of a choice I was desperate for some money.) So ignoring my gut instinct I enlisted. Only two short weeks after that the cease-fire between NOD and GDI was broken, so off I went into some damn war I knew nothing about except the stuff I heard on the news (and we all know how reliable they can be.)

I tried pretty much anything I could to avoid going into combat so I signed up for every training program they had available, not realizing that after I was finished it would lead me straight to hell. So I spent the first year of this war going through training programs, and passing them, which was a surprise to me, I never though I would be able to get through some of these courses. Then the day came, I graduated from the last course I had agreed to take, I was an official Delta Marine, which meant that all the combat I tried to avoid a year earlier would soon come back my way.

But this was a different kind of war now. During my year of training this war grew to multiple militaries. NOD found it necessary to form an alliance with the Soviet Union, almost as soon as word of this got out GDI formed an alliance of their own, with the American Allies making this one of the most important war in history. For the past ten years The Soviets and Allies have raged war on each other with one cease, which of course was broken by the invasion on American Soil. Now they were joining the war over tiberium, and I was in one of the top squads in the GDI army. I knew I had been trained well and I was prepared for anything, but I know that nothing can prepare you for true war but true war. I would be relying on the guy beside me, hoping he doesn't screw up, hoping to be fortunate enough to see the next day. Only time will tell.
