Two flags stood on a hill, one was the image of an eagle the other was the old world flag but turned 90 degrees right. Two once great tribes fought here and left their mark on the world. Only one of each tribe remained, one stood next to the flags looking over a crack in the earth awaiting the other one. His hair tangled together and his duster flowed in the wind as he looked over at the once prosperous city.

"Soon Courier 6 we will meet soon." he said in a deep voice.

OOOOO

Saya and Naya where packing what was left of their belongings as Mike was scouting there area making sure that's it clear. Rex stayed behind with the two girls protecting them if anything came along. Saya had a war club strapped to her leg, she knew how to use one but the sorrows tendency to be peaceful. As such they rarely got into conflict which was the reason why thy left Zion.

Saya felt odd leaving her home, sadness but hope as she looked to Naya who was playing with Rex by throwing a twig for him to catch. She smiled, and looked at the clothing she had packed little, this was little more then bra's, pants and anklet's. Sighing she tugged on the pull closing up the bag. Mike soon came back and walked up to her.

"I found a good root back thanks to the map that Daniel gave me. However the environment that the two of you are used too will change about six day's into the hike. By then you'll both need to change ok?" he said.

Saya looked at her outfit before looking up. "Will I be able to ware it were we are going?" she asked.

"Maybe inside but not out, you'll have to ware something to protect you, as for Naya, I have a few dresses she might like."

Saya nodded at that. She looked around for the last time as Naya came up with a big smile. It made her smile as well. Wiping her a tear from her eye she took a deep breath and nodded. Mike then lead the way with Rex next to her. The four made their way across the once national park to a cave far from the Sorrows village. On arriving at the entrance Saya and Naya looked at their home for the final time before following Mike into the cave leaving their home behind.

OOOOO 3 days later.

After a good few hours of trekking across the national park the four of them needed rest. Mike sent Rex out on for a little recon while the rest of them had something to eat. Mike had something small to eat which was a small lizard on a stick. Part of the Red dust training was to eat as little as possible, this was to increases the food supply for warriors or kriegers as Red dust liked to call them. Saya and Naya ate a gecko stake between them as Rex came back.

The fact that he came back silent didn't sit well with Mike.

"What is it boy?" he asked.

Rex just gave a low growl and pointed to where he came from. It was turning night but Mike could see light coming from nearby.

"Ok stay and protect." he said.

Rex moaned softly as Mike began to move up slowly with the anti-material rifle in hand. As he moved up he could hear the sounds of screams and music. Finding a good dune to hide behind he went prone and crawled up it. He stopped before reaching the top and took out some desert camo mesh and covered the scope with it. Continuing to the top he then looked down the rifle scope.

The place was a crater likely from one of the nukes that the Chinese launched, but this one took half of a nearby rock face with it. The wall was covered in the usual shanty houses built with wood and scrap metal. Looking down he got a look at the natives of the area. They where more or less wearing gecko skins that only covered the crotch area. They where painted with what looked like chalk with some skin still showing. He then noticed a cage filled with men all with no clothing on.

Curious he then looked around the area. The middle of the area was a roaring fire pit with fully naked women chained to posts. Much like the males in the cadge they didn't have the gecko covers or white chalk on their body's. One of the tribal men then came up to one of the women, he then lifted up the hide and forced his member inside her mouth. Mike looked away in disgust for a moment before he hared a yell of pain.

He looked down the scope again to see the woman's face bloody and the man in pain. Probably due to the fact that the woman bit him and hard. He clenched his thighs together feeling petty for the man. But then the man brought up a machete and brought it to the woman's neck. Taking her head he then began to rip off the flesh of her face.

"Cannibals." Mike whispered.

Two pregnant females walked to to the woman and cuncuffed her body from the post. Mike noticed chains around their ankles and wrists. It would seem that the warriors of the tribe where using captured women as breeding stock to create better warriors. Many tribe did this, as Mike remembered a few tribes in his area of where he used to be did the same thing. But the thing is that it didn't always work out well. He remembered that Red dust only forced the strongest male and female krigers together to create the strongest offspring.

The two slaves then took the body to a table, lay the body on it and began to cut it up. Mike didn't watch any more as he could guess what would happen. He then noticed that most of the women in the tribe where pregnant. He knew the reason. This time was one of the strongest survive groups out there. Plenty of people believed that the strongest should survive in this world and one way of doing it is to train them until they are of age to mate. When this happens they are pitted against each other in a battle to the death. The loser or the winner who shows mercy are killed.

In would result in a tribal population decline and ultimately cause the tribe to go extinct. Just then the drums became louder as the males in the cage began to scream. The cage was lifted into the air and was brought over the fire pit. They where then lowered over it. That's when mike noticed pipes coming from the pit. He followed them to see generators at the end of them. After looking back at the pit a jet of flame came form the pit live roasting the captives.

Seeing enough Mike moved down from the dune and made his way back to the camp. But unknown to him a man followed him with a stealth boy on. He was then knocked out a second later and his body dragged away.

At the camp Rex knew that Mike was taking too long. His new master trained him to be aware of how long had passed when he was away. He got up and moved. Saya noticed.

"Naya stay here." she said in her native tongue.

Naya nodded as her mother got up and followed the cyber hound. He followed his master's smell until he found something and pawed at it. Saya came up and looked at what the hybrid animal was looking at. It was Mike's anti-material rifle. She picked it up, it was lighter then she had expected.

"Find him." she said to Rex.
