Prologue
August 1st, 2020. The storm had not let up, it had arrived about a month ago and was devouring entire cities. Within days of this storm's arrival five major cities had been reduced to urban swamps. The pacific front was the first that was hit hard. San Francisco was completely unprepared and suffered a major Wipeout within minutes. Los Angeles had evacuated but it wasn't enough as it was hit just minutes after inflicting heavy damage and casualties. The north Atlantic front was hit hard with Miami New York and Washington DC going under within minutes of each other. Five major cities gone in a heartbeat as if they had been targeted. With all this happening it made people feel as if Atlantis was real. An urban legend hunting down these cities as if they were prey. The rain was crashing down like artillery in a warzone and was making conditions much worse. Smaller floods were being reported all over the world but the United States was hit hardest with over one hundred and twenty million confirmed dead all over the world, two hundred million homeless and seventy million people unaccounted for. Nearly every major city on earth stopped reporting in about a week ago. The entire United States Navy was deployed to assist with evacuations and the US Airforce flying over looking for survivors it had stretched the US Military to its limit. Militaries cops coast guard customs and private mercenaries from almost every corner of the planet formed a huge combat search and rescue force to assist those who needed help. What was making resources become stretched thinner was the two war fronts the US were pulled in too. The US Army was fighting a huge war in Korea whilst fighting terrorist organisations in Afghanistan.
The North Koreans had declared a state of war against the United States and her allies. The DMZ became no man's land for the nine million North Koreans since the US had set up multiple trench lines made up of machine gun nests, anti-tank teams and anti-air teams. In support they had m1 abrams and m2 bradleys. This was a 30 to 1 situation for the US and they were holding very well. Then Guam happened. It came out of the blue and the world was completely unprepared. You see Guam was one of only three operational airbases available for both the war effort and the catastrophic emergency response agencies. The other two were in Brazil deep in Amazon rainforest and the deserts of Australia. Guam suffered a surprise assault that left no survivors, and billions of dollars' worth of prototype gear and research in the hands of a new terrorist mercenary crew.
Commander Frost Derek James Westbrook, one of the most legendary soldiers to have ever step foot on this Earth. A lot of people say he was born to lead humanity to a new age but he denied it in a heartbeat saying that he only committed to this because it was destiny telling him to do so. He was about three years old when he was diagnosed with an unknown terminal disease but when he was offered the super soldier program he took a chance. Now it was believed that he was they only living super soldier to survive the program. He had lost so much but gained a twenty-fold more. A prophecy stated about him being connected to the protectors of humanity the custodians and the honour guard. The custodians and the honour guard have fought for centuries over who was the rightful protector of humanity but Commander Westbrook was about to set in stone the history and legends told countless generations to come of his bravery, cunningness and will to fight for everyone regardless of the allegiance. Frost being a super soldier that's one thing, being an honour guard champion, the custodian legend and master of all elements that made him something more. However, Frost had not discovered this yet.
Twenty-five years before the birth of Commander Westbrook his great grandfather drew up the plans for a warship. He named it the Titan. A huge warship designed for space. The first of its kind at least. Originally designed as a destroyer class dreadnought Frost would go on to change it in to a battleship class dreadnought at twelve years old. The Titan consisted of 12000 cannons on multiple types and calibres. It would also have gun emplacements anti air cannons 105mm cannons, 75mm cannons, 25mm cannons, 4 prototype railguns located across the ship with each shot having a blast yield of a 150 kiloton blast, 50mm repeaters designed to tear apart destroyers, carriers and frigates, six 400mm cannons with three on the front of the ship and three on the back of the ship, 75mm anti air guns designed to create suppressive fire and bog down enemy fighters when they approached the ship, a prototype fusion core which had yet to provide power for this super dreadnought, heavy armour designed to protect the dreadnought from attacks at any angle and a prototype volcano cannon designed to rupture an entire fleet with a single shot frying enemy electronics and destroying the vessels. The ship was equipped with 60 hanger bays that could hold fighters, bombers and attack gunships.
It was during parade week that the Titan was unveiled and when Commander Westbrook had proposed creating a fleet to assist the Titan. The top 15 nations agreed while the rest disagreed. The resources were put to work within the hour and fleet was built two years later. The second dreadnought to be built was the Crusader. Humanity's first destroyer class dreadnought capable of levelling multiple vessels in mere seconds. Classed as a super destroyer it packed 45mm rapid fire anti-ship cannons, carrying a payload of 60 inter-planetary ballistic cruise missiles, tomahawk cruise missiles and tornado rocket pods. The tornado rocket pods contained XC-1 rockets, an unguided rocket capable of levelling the strongest of structures.
The third vessel to join Humanity's fleet was the redeemer, a super aircraft carrier capable of carrying thousands of aircraft and contained two railguns as well as 50mm repeaters adapted to become anti-air guns. It also had thirty 50 calibre machinegun pods located throughout the vessel. Each gun pod contained two 50 cal machineguns plus it contained fifteen smart AA missiles.
The fourth vessel to join the fleet was the artillery class dreadnought given the name Slingshot. It held four 300mm cannons capable of causing huge amounts of damage, two 155mm cannons designed for support fire and twelve 105mm cannons to support ground troops. This vessel was designed as the fire support of the fleet capable of causing huge amounts of damage and suppress enemy movement before allies would be in the fight.
The fifth and final vessel was a heavy cruiser dreadnought nicknamed the harbinger for its ability to move fast and cause damage. It was delayed for two years over fears of a lack of resource to keep the fleet mobile. The weaponry of the harbinger included multiple 200m howitzers two railguns and quad 50 cal machinegun pods. It was very well armoured and could easily take a punch.
Then it happened. Five years ago, Commander Westbrook disappeared without a trace. Within a few weeks of his disappearance a vigilante called the Ghost started his war against injustice. He started with taking down muggers and small-time drug dealers. Then he struck hard. Serial killers, corrupt officials, cartels, private mercs set on crime, heist men, crime families and dictators all became targets for him. In his five war he never killed anyone just incapacitated them and the prisons were over-booked by his methods.
Present time:
The rain refused to yield as it continued to fall, the Ghost overlooked the warehouse through his night vision binoculars. It was cold, ice cold. He lowers his binoculars after seeing the warehouse with many security guards and engineers walking about then he looked at his watch. 02:00. Something wasn't adding up and Then Ghost decided he would move in. He approached the warehouse before climbing onto its roof. He opened the vent cover before pulling the pin to his tear gas grenade dropping it in the vent. He proceeded to the roof entrance, placing a gas mask on, breaking a roof window before pushing a rope down. Seeing as all the people inside were unconscious he fast roped into the warehouse. He began to see a faint blue light from underneath the door. As he approached one of the grunts had a flamethrower and fired on him burning half of the mask off. Ghost ran for the door whilst he shot a sleeper dart at the grunt which hit him making the grunt fall to the floor asleep. Ghost approached the door opening it to see a large silver cased device. Ghost ran his hands on the cover before looking at the desk. He approached the desk picking up the documents and a dossier. He would read this later once his mission here was complete. Then he turned back to the device seeing the control panel power up. As Ghost tried to move for the control panel he suddenly got caught in the field of this device's power before pulling him in. then everything went white.
