After the death of Marlene, her second in command takes over. They soon adopt the ideology of imperialism. On the other side, the new reestablished Republic of Texas still has faith in democracy. As time goes on in this post-pandemic world both sides have a common goal, to find a vaccine, with Jackson to be in the crossfire. These two new superpowers can't avoid each other forever.

JOEL: CHAPTER 5: Captured

Joel woke up tided against a chair. "What the fuck!" Joel shouted. A Firefly looked at him.

"You'd been out for about 2 days" he told him."

Joel looked at him with anger, "Why the hell am I here?!" Joel shouted the question.

"You don't ask the questions" said the Firefly, as he got closer to him to punch directly in the face.

"You piece of shit, I am going to kill you when I get out!" Joel shouted at the Firefly.

The Firefly negatively nodded at Joel, "Who says you're going to get out?" All of a sudden another Firefly walked in.

"I kept him busy, Sir" The Firefly said. The Firefly, that recently entered, nodded back at the other. He grabbed a chair from behind him, and sat down.

"Who the hell are you supposed to be?" Joel said.

"Careful how you address me" the Firefly said. "You can't treat the leader of the Fireflies that way."

Joel looked confused. "Excuse me." Joel said.

"You heard me" the Firefly said. Joel started to laugh. "Something funny" the Firefly said.

"It's just that, the last I heard, your leader has been dead for quite some time" Joel said.

"You know for sure, don't you? I know you killed her, I was Marlene's second in command, Alex Johnson. I was her most trusted. I was the one closest to reaching elevator, before you took off and shot Marlene. The rest of the Fireflies turned to me after Marlene's death. I've spent so much time recruiting new Fireflies, training more and more. We've remained in the shadows, I have called back all the Fireflies for this reason. The Military probably thinks we're all dead." Alex explained.

"So, why do you need me?" Joel said.

"You're going to tell us where the immune is." Alex said.

"Good luck" Joel said.

"We're going to do it by any means necessary" Alex said as he threw his fist at Joel stomach.

Joel screamed in pain. "You son of bitch!"

"This could all be over you know, if you just told us where she is." Alex said.

"Never!" Joel shouted again.

"But I ain't cruel, feed him" Alex said. "It seems like you're going to be here for a long time."
