A/N ok so here it is. Name of the song is Radioactive by imagine dragons.
I slowly opened up my eyes, everything was blurry so I blinked and opened them again.
"Aw shit" I said wiping my face.
I was in a tent that was one of many…
"Fuck…" I said standing up with a groan.
But as soon as my feet hit the ground I felt a horrible pain in my side, and I was extremely dizzy and nauseous.
I hit the ground…
A soldier came running in and helped me back to the bed.
"Whoa whoa, you shouldn't be trying to move, you're screwed up dude" he said.
"Tell me about it" I grumbled as laid my head back and closed my eyes.
"You survived an explosion, and then you apparently killed the pain by drinking enough whiskey to kill your average man, and then you had a card game with your friends who are a few tents down..." he continued on.
"Yeah I am quite something ain't I" I said.
"Yeah… youre something alright, when I took your blood sample I struck a match to it just for the hell of it and it burned like oil or something." He said.
"I'm surprised you lived" he added.
"Yeah me too." I said.
"You owe your life to your Tiger friend, she brought you in, carried you all the way from were ever you were and brought you here. You're alive because of her. She said for me to tell her when you woke, if you woke." He said.
"Yeah I am alive, it's sad." I said sarcastically.
"Now I don't believe you mean that, it's just your alcohol talking. Nice Tiger, young pretty and really seems to really like you. Sounds to me like you have a lot to live for" he said walking at.
I opened my eyes, I felt ashamed I had said that, I was grateful for her, and originally she did give me something to live for. It was just the hangover talking.
He came back in with her.
"If anything happens call me back in here" he said to her.
She nodded…
He also whispered something to her that I couldn't hear.
If I had my armor and helmet on I could had heard it.
I looked across the tent and saw my armor hanging on a rack with a big hole ripped in the side.
Damn… I thought to myself.
"Make sure to treat him good" he whispered "I have seen what this much alcohol does to a man, we're talking brain damage with his wounds on top of it, if there is bacteria in the wound already he's a goner, one of two things is going to happen, either he's going to go into a deep sleep that will last however long it will last and even if he does wake up he'll never be the same, or he will die or both. He'd had been ok if he hadn't drank so damn much alcohol. It's bad…" he whispered before walking out.
She walked over to my bed side she looked sad about something.
"Hi there Niko" she said.
"Hi" I grumbled.
"Niko hey so how are you?" she asked picking up my hand and holding it with both of her paws.
"I really dont know" I said blankly.
Her face got an expression of sorrow on it.
"Oh Niko" she said hugging me "what have you done?"
"Something bad I'm sure" I said.
"I hope not." She said.
"Hey can you turn my radio on?" I asked.
She went over to my helmet and got it and turned it on.
It was Chris daughtry's Crashed.
Meanwhile…
"Aww shit you alive over there?" Jacob asked kicking the piece of rubble off of him.
"Alive!" they all repeated.
"Good, lets get the hell out of here" he said dusting himself off.
They started walking off, but Jacob felt something…
"Hey you guys wait here Ill be back."
"Were are you going?" one asked.
"I gotta check up on my shit head of a fake little bro" he said.
"Yeah" another asked.
"Yeah" Jacob said.
"Fine dont be too long" another said.
"Alright" Jacob said.
He began to walk off…
He heard a voice very clearly in his head saying go to the Nod medical tents.
Aww what the hell he thought to himself
He headed off for the tents.
He ditched the armor before he got there.
Once he was there he went in through the back.
He saw Niko laying in a bed with a bloody right side, and a Tiger hovering over him.
She turned to him "You!" she said angrily.
"Yeah I just had to pop me some brothers real quick, something told me to come. I see my little bros been hurt" He said.
Upon taking a closer look he said "holy shit".
"Oh hi there Jacob didn't see you there" I said.
"What have you done?" He asked in amazement.
"I really don't know" I said.
"Oh… I see you are rocking out in here" he said.
"Yep" I said.
By now the song was Knockin' on heaven's door- Bob Dylan (one of my personal favorites)
Knock knock knockin' on heaven's door
Knock knock knockin' on heaven's door
Knock knock knockin' on heaven's door
"Im tired" I said yawning.
"No Niko, please don't…" she said.
"Stay with me, don't go" She said tearing up.
That long black cloud is comin' down
Jacob just stood there watching while tearing up…
"I cant… no… going down… love… you" I said as the world went black
"NO NIKO!" She yelled.
Three soldiers came in behind of her.
"Get her out of here!" He said loudly.
"Wait who's that?" as they all looked at Jacob.
"Aw shit" He said as he ran out of the back, he got away.
The two other soldiers grabbed Tigress and began pulling her out of the room, while she was screaming "NO".
They gave her a push out of the area of the tent
The other masters came running.
"Tigress what is it" Shifu asked.
"Niko is dead!" she cried.
"You have got to let us in there!" Shifu said to the two soldiers at the entrance.
"We can't do that" one said to Shifu.
"Why not" Shifu demanded.
"The doctor needs to do his work." The same one said.
Shifu sighed.
"Fine, but is this not property of the valley of peace?" he asked calmly.
"Yes" the other soldier said.
"I am leader of the valley and you need to let me in there" Shifu said.
The two soldiers exchanged glances.
"Only you may go." One said as they both stepped to the side.
"Thank you" Shifu said walking in.
"But-" Tigress said struggling to get out of her friends grips.
"Just wait Tigress it'll all be ok." Po said softly
"What's the problem doctor" Shifu said to him.
The doctor turned around "What the-, oh ok whatever, he drank too much and now he has brain damage, so now the deal is coma or death."
Shifu walked up to my bedside and grabbed my arm.
"What are you-" the doctor said.
"I am checking his Chi" Shifu said.
"His what?" the doctor asked.
"His energy." Shifu said.
"That has nothing to do with it; I am trying to save his life not his energy." The doctor said.
"They are the same thing" Shifu said.
"Fine whatever… His brain cells are damaged and are dying, if I could get some cyborg technology in there quickly I could save him." He said.
"But you can't so let me try my cure first" Shifu said.
"Fine if he dies it's on you!" the doctor said.
"He would die anyway!" Shifu said back.
"What is your cure anyway?" the doctor asked.
"We have to get him to the peach tree. His Chi will regenerate" Shifu said.
"I will believe that when I see it, but he is dying, if you don't go now he'll be dead when you get there" The doctor said exiting the tent.
He told the guards the deal and left with them.
Tigress broke free and ran in with the other following.
"You need to get him to the peach tree, now!" Shifu said.
Tigress snatched my body up and ran faster than ever before to the place, would she be too late?
Earlier
We charged into the battle head on, lasers flying everywhere, rocket hitting the ground, grenades flying…
GDI was beating the Brotherhood back, but we were fighting tooth and nail.
It was a bamboo forest so there was no cover.
I saw a GDI soldier I dropped him.
The others also saw targets and began shooting at them.
Just then a rocket hit an Orca and sent it to the ground in front of us.
I ran up to it and jerked the driver out.
He was bloody and burnt but alive.
I would had shot him but I was better than that.
We used the orca for cover.
We heard someone yell "RETREAT!" and we did so into the village.
With Orcas and foot soldiers and Mammoth tanks had we went and found their outpost this wouldn't had happened.
We fought from door to door, alley to alley, roof to roof.
Eventually they pushed up into the palace.
I turned down an alley I found myself alone.
An Orca hit one of the buildings nearby sending rubble into my side, and also scorching that wound.
I limped towards a foxhole that had life in it.
I was hurting really badly.
I limped up to it.
"Hey Niko-, ouch that looks bad, here have a drink, kill the pain" Jeremiah said.
I took a gulp.
"Where did you get this?" I asked.
"We robbed the local ABC store or at least a store like them" Frank said.
"Oh" I said taking another gulp…
At the last moment the remaining Nod soldiers rained rockets down on the entire village which leveled it, seeing how far we were willing to go, they retreated leaving the dead and wounded behind about 300 got away and 500 of us were still standing. 250 from both sides had died.
Shows Nod soldier picking up Mantis' acupuncture kit
"heh heh heh" he laughed as he put it in his pack.
"FIRE" one of the commanders yelled.
And all of the Nod soldiers fired their RPGs at once; this scared the thief so he accidently pulled the trigger on his RPG destroying the barracks and him...
Not only that but an Orca came over head and shot rockets at the palace leveling it before it went down in a fiery ball.
RPGs landed everywhere in the valley.
Shows the Nod soldiers charging back to the ground and one of them sticking a flag in the ground, which got shot up by retreating GDI soldiers.
Back to present
"No, no, no" Tigress whispered quickly as she reached the peach tree, she laid me down there.
She couldn't sense any life in my body.
The others came running in behind of her.
They gathered up around me.
Nothing was happening.
"Why is it not working" Tigress said teary eyed.
"Tigress…" Shifu said softly "he's gone, we can't do nothing now."
Tigress knows this to be true but doesn't want to believe it.
"Now what Shifu?" She asked "We just leave him here?"
"Yes" Shifu said.
Tigress just looked down.
"I know its hard Tigress, but the others need us, its best just to forget him now" Crane said.
"Yeah I guess you are right" Tigress said emotionlessly.
They began to walk away.
They all thought she was handling it real well, but in truth inside we was destroyed, she was hurt so much she had no ability to show emotion, she knew there was nothing she could do, but she knew he was going to be looking down at her smiling, that made her smile back.
Meanwhile
The wanderer feels a stinging pain throughout his entire body…
Start song
We see the soldiers move my body into a stack with all of the other bodies afterwards.
We see Kane and CABAL laughing with joy over the death of all of those soldiers.
We see the Wanderer looking down at the ground with sorrow because he can sense something bad has happened.
We see Tigress looking up at the moon smiling. Remembering all of the great moments they had together.
We see a ghost like image of Anton Slavik standing there looking at the stack of bodies with remorse then turning around and walking away, eventually disappearing.
We see Jacob sitting beside of a fire with a very sad look on his face while his other soldiers try to tell him it's ok.
We see Nikos squad when they get the news from the doctor, Frank stands up and cries out "He was a very good boy, just trying to get his life turned around!", the others just shake their heads and make similar remarks.
