Sorry for the long wait, I've been busy and working on my other stories here at fanfiction. Before we get to the chapter, I have some announcments to make. First of all, because the movie is getting a sequel and the timeline of that universe, this storie's universe in Srangereal will be expanded. This alternate Strangereal Universe will now be referred to as Strangereal-ID4. There will be more stories. In other words, there will be a sequel, as well as other stories that takes place at the same time period as this story and between the War of 2016 and the sequel. You can also check out my promo work of this story and Strangereal-ID4 at my Deviantart page, as well as work on my other stories. My ID is the same, LooneyAces. Until then, I hope you are enjoying this story, even if it is predictable since most of us has seen the movie. Anyway, on with chapter 30.
Chapter 30: Lost of Hope?
At a breakroom, Guy was at the kitchen as he served himself a alcoholic beverage. He was looking in the refrigerator for ice.
"Just my luck. No ice." Guy said annoyed.
"I take it you've heard." Claudia said as she was standing at the doorway.
"Hey, a toast. To the end of the world." Guy said as he raised his glass.
"Wilford didn't come to this decision lightly. He didn't have any other choice."
"Yeah."
"I know you don't have something against this decision but Wilford's a good man.
"He better be. After all, you see him due to your career as the Emmerian ambassador to Osea."
"My career was the biggest opportunity of my life. I wanted my life to make a difference. I wanted my life to mean something." Claudia said.
"But you missed me though." Guy said.
"Guy, you could have done anything that you wanted. Research, development-"
"Oh, honey, I was happy where I was. A E-767 jammer operator for the REAF."
"Haven't you ever wanted to be part of something special?"
"I am part of something special."
Before Claudia left the room, she said...
"Well, if it makes any difference, I never stopped loving you."
Meanwhile, back at the surface, outside the base, Jason was sitting down in sorrow, losing hope, as he thinks that his wife Amber and his son Daniel has been killed by the alien invaders back at his home base, but something is telling him that they're still alive. He then turns his attention to a group of base personnel and soldiers moving stuff around a Sikorsky MH-60 Blackhawk helicopter. He noticed that the Stonehenge facility is tightening its defense due to the alien threat. There are now more ground troops and aircraft, as well as more anti-aircraft guns, surface-to-air missile launchers, AA artillery flak guns and more radar systems, to help defend Stonehenge and its eight large turrets. He also noticed one soldier barking orders to other soldiers to pick up some equipment. This was his perfect opportunity to take the helicopter and pilot it to Scott Air Force Base. But as he was strapping himself into the cockpit, the same soldier noticed him and runs towards him.
"What the heck are you doing? Get out of there!" the soldier said pulling out a pistol and points it at Jason.
"Look, I got something I got to handle. I'm just borrowing it." Jason said.
"No, you're not, sir." the solder said.
"Do you really want to shoot me?" Jason said, causing the solder to think and lowered his gun. "Just tell them I hit you."
With that, Jason takes off and flies the Blackhawk to the ruins of Scott Air Force Base.
That's the end of this chapter. Sorry if it's short. Please review.
