Wow! I seem to be updating this a lot every chance I get, huh? Anyway, for those who doesn't think this story is nowhere near scary, sorry, but I guess I'm more concentrating on the action of this story. But anyway, for those who read and reviewed, thanks!

Chapter 5: The Will to Forgive

F.E.A.R Point Man stood calmly, and had a shotgun on one hand, while the other one was behind him, and was holding a grenade. F.E.A.R Point Man thought they were going to attack soon, but they didn't, and gave F.E.A.R Point Man enough time to get out his grenade and pull the pin, about to throw.

"Let's say you got killed by THIS!" He yelled as he threw it onto the ground, making it explode. Only two of them got caught in the explosion, and died. The other ones opened fire as they spread out so they won't hit each other. F.E.A.R Point Man activated Slow Mo and slowly approached one of the soldiers, doing a roundhouse kick on his face. The others didn't just watch and they meleed him, which hit the F.E.A.R Point Man, but it was bearable. He then took out his Dual Pistols and shot two of the soldiers on the heads. However, the Slow Mo came down so F.E.A.R Point Man deactivated it but still armed his dual pistols. He fired at the survivors crazily, and only two of the soldiers remained. F.E.A.R Point Man took his chance to use the Shotgun. The Pump action killed one of them. The last one tried going hand-to-hand combat with the F.E.A.R Point Man, but the Shotgun blast took care of him.

He evacuated and ran out for the exit. He went the other way from where he entered. There were two doors, but one of them had a bullet proof glass. F.E.A.R Point Man watched from the outside and saw the Replicas and the ATC duking it out. Knowing that budging into the battle will make things worse, he quickly looked at the other door, which lead to a set of stairs. He climbed up and it only lead to the room where the Replicas and the ATC were still fighting, but he was on the proceedings, so no one noticed. The balcony lead to another set of stairs to climb.

Man I've been climbing all day.

He reached a hallway and saw nothing but dead bodies. There were Replica dead bodies, along with ATC ones as well. There were also some broken gun turrets. But around the corner ahead of him, he heard large footsteps. F.E.A.R Point Man quickly his behind the wall near him and leaned and saw an EVE.

I've been in this facility for 30 minutes, and I hate this place already.

He quietly snuck behind the EVE, and got his last remote bomb out. When he was close enough, he threw it and stuck it at the EVE. Unfortunately, the EVE heard that and turned around, seeing the Point Man. He locked him and fired some rockets. The Point Man sidestepped and got out of the rocket's way, but there were some machine guns firing at him too. That hurt him a bit, so he immediately took cover. The EVE continued following him, but F.E.A.R Point Man took out his Penetrator and shot the EVE many times. It did some minor damage, so he tried his Shotgun. That didn't do as much damage as the Penetrator did but it still gave some little damage. He switched back to the Penetrator and continued firing until he had to reload again. Instead of reloading, he took out his Shotgun and fired repeatedly at the EVE until it was out of ammo in clip. He then got out his detonator and pushed the button, which made the EVE blow up.

Finally. Some space from that piece of junk.

The Point Man looked at the large door ahead of him. He opened it, expecting enemy inside. But instead there was a huge computer.

ATC Mother Computer…?

F.E.A.R Point Man approached it and looked at the size of the keyboard and the computer itself. He was supposedly in the control room of the facility. From the computer was a picture of Alma and two babies. He recognized both of them as he himself and Fettel. Then there were some documents. He clicked on ALMA WADE and read the writing. He had much to learn about his mother, even if she still haunted him.

Dr. Green's project seems to be a failure. She went insane as we she tried studying Alma. Could there be something wrong with the girl, Alma? If there is something that Alma can do to harm people, especially with their minds, we must still take the risk to research the girl.

F.E.A.R Point Man never knew even a psychiatrist had to help Alma. But whatever the file was saying, he turned it off and looked at his file. It was named FIRST PROTOTYPE.

The first Prototype has positive emotions, unlike his mother does. Yet, he does not possess any physic ability like the second one does. This one is deemed a failure. Alma strongly desires him back, but what can we do?

F.E.A.R Point Man turned it off, and sighed.

"Looking at something?" A female voice was heard behind him. He wasn't familiar with her. He turned around and puzzled in confusion of who this person was.

"I don't know if you recognize me. I'm the boss of ATC. Genevieve Artstride." She introduced as she walked towards the Point Man, brought out her hand to shake hands with him. F.E.A.R Point Man just shook hands with her as well. After all, why shouldn't he?

"Your mother cared a lot about you. When you were taken away, you wouldn't realize how crazy she went." Artstride reminded the Point Man about the past, which still somehow haunting for the Point Man.

"But… she tried to kill me… why?" Point Man asked.

"That is nothing we know. But I have to say, you managed to destroy Fettel's army while he was still alive. You even destroyed the Origin Facility!" Artstride commented as F.E.A.R Point Man accepted it.

"Why haven't you escaped…? Replica soldiers might be trying to attack you by now." F.E.A.R Point Man wondered as the Artstride laughed, "there's nothing to worry. I'll be all right."

"Okay… maim, I do have one question… this code… I found it… what does it mean by forgiveness?" He asked.

"This… forgiveness… it's certain when Alma had negative emotions… she didn't really know how to forgive. But I think you, as her son, might teach her something." Artstride replied with a smile.

"Okay… I better get out of here. Be safe." F.E.A.R Point Man told Artstride and walked towards the door.

"I see… It was good to see you face to face, first prototype."

F.E.A.R Point Man ran off the door and quickly went to a corner, where an elevator was. When it opened, he went inside and pushed the button to the top floor, or the roof. He thought all was over from the facility.

Man, I'm tired…

Just then, when the elevator was only two floors from reaching the roof, it jammed all of a sudden, and all the power went down.

Aw man, this sucks.

He quickly got out his Shotgun and blasted the door at close range. The door fell down, and he hoped at least it reached the level of the second last floor. When it broke, it was still not as near from the floor yet.

Damn… better try it this way.

He blasted his Shotgun twice on the ceiling, this time making a big hole to have him fit to jump up. He climbed the series wires above the elevator, but they weren't strong enough to hold the Point Man long enough, so he had to be quick. But as he was close, the wires were bout to fall down. He yelped and looked for another wires. There was another one beside him, so he jumped and the wires he climbed on entirely fell down along with the elevator itself. He climbed up again and he was at the floor level. But knowing he was much further, he had to climb higher. When he was about two meters ahead, he prepared for a big jump.

I better be lucky for this one…

He jumped and eventually landed on the floor, but the landing hurt his foot a bit. He then watched his surroundings, and looked for stairs to go up. But he was long lost from finding one, but there wasn't anybody either. He took out his Dual Pistols as his Shotgun didn't have that much ammo left. When he explored the entire room, there was a massive explosion on the wall. He hid behind some crates and leaned to see ten light armored Replica and two heavy armored.

Great… just when I thought this day couldn't get any worse.

He took out his grenade while hiding and threw it to the direction to where the Replicas were. This time it took out five of them, so it was much better than last time, but the grenade was his last one. He then got out his mime, which was also his last one. He showed threw the mime and shot one of the heavy armored Replicas to get attention. All of them noticed him, but not the mime. They stepped on it and it blew up, having two Replicas left and one heavy armored. He brought out his Penetrator and turned on the Slow Mo. He killed the last two Light armored Replicas with head shots but the Heavy armored didn't go down as fast as others. He still had his Slow Mo on, and continued firing. The Heavy armored Replica managed to get close enough to melee him, knocking the Point Man off his feat. He dropped his Penetrator, and knowing he didn't have enough time to pick it up, he used his Shotgun and fired all his last ammo on him.

F.E.A.R Point Man looked at where the explosion took place. They unexpectedly made a hole on the roof, so he quickly climbed up, and radio called Batters.

"This is F.E.A.R Point Man speaking. Bring a chopper at the ATC Facility right now." He ordered but Batters seemed a little confused, "ATC Facility? Do you mind what you did there?"

F.E.A.R Point Man got out the disk and said, "It's personal."

To be continued…

Sorry that the chapter is shorter than others, but I had to finish this in one day for personal reasons.
