Okay, that took me a while, but yeah, I managed to make a new chapter. Though I have a feeling this is rushed, but hey have to do something...
Kaya: Okay, I'll explain to you a little about the song cause well, there are secrets not meant to be revealed yet to people who want to try out Fates or haven't reached certain parts. It's just a normal song at first, but if Azura uses pendant and sings the song, she'll activate its powers, the way it affects the person or what she sings to depends, if you want to see it's effects, I suggest you search up for yourself, I don't want to spill the beans if there are people who wants to find out themselves... Sorry if I couldn't give much info...
Anyway, don't own Call of Duty and other stuffs except my OC. Enjoy!
In the clear starry night sky, a concert is playing, everyone was partying hard, cheering...
In the middle of the partying crowd...
Were Logan and Hesh, they were also partying. Their dad allowed the two brothers to go to the concert, at least that's something the two teens can do other than training themselves in the forest since they've been doing that for as long as they can remember. The singer sang the chorus part with all his might for the second time.
"And you came my way on a winter's day! Shouted loudly "Come out and play!" Can't you tell? I got news for you! Sun is shining and so are you! And we gonna be alright! Dry your tears and hold tight! Can't you tell? I got news for you! Sun is shining and so are you!"
"It's been a while since we've gone to do something different now isn't it Hesh?!" Logan shouted so his brother can hear.
"Yeah! At least we can do something different right?!"
"Yeah! You still enjoy being in the forest alone?!"
"Of course!"
"Why?!"
"Cause when we train in the forest, what is it we do?!"
"What is it?!"
"We got each others' backs! We're always together!"
"Haha! I knew that!" the two do a high five with the singer finishing up his song.
Logan wakes up with no incident, however, he realize he left the radio on last night whe,n he wanted to listen to music to get himself feel better, the song that's currently playing was "Sun Is Shining". Logan realize that he heard this song from before, he heard it from his dream. Was it another piece of memory he recovered?
Logan is already believing Hesh was telling the truth, he saw himself in his teen years along with Hesh... Not Wade...
He couldn't feel nothing but his heart ache, was Wade just pretending that he cares for him? Same for Marx and Carol, could they have been just pretending the whole time?
Logan had been staying in the LA base for the past two days, he began to warm up with the Ghosts. Logan gradually began to trust them and realize that they weren't what he thought Rorke had said to him about them. Rorke did lie to him, he LIED to him. But despite knowing it, his memories are still lost and he still doesn't remember everything that happened before he got himself in the pit other than the two memories he remembered.
As Logan checked the time, it was only six in the morning and felt that he couldn't sleep as he feels that he slept long and ready for the day. He gets up and fixes himself up before leaving his room to get some fresh air again. Just as he was about to leave...
"Morning Logan, how are you feeling?" Logan was greeted with Hesh, his REAL big brother, though he couldn't feel much connection, but he felt quite comfortable with him around as well as Alex.
"Hi Hesh, I'm feeling good today." Logan smiled warmly at Hesh when he was met with someone jumping on his face and licking him.
"Wow hey haha! Riley... You happy to see me huh? You suuuure do."
"Riley misses you Logan."
"I know, but until now, I don't feel much connection with you guys until now..." Logan sighs in regret of how he still doesn't feel any connection with them despite knowing and believing the truth.
"It's okay, you'll find it eventually." Hesh patted Logan on the shoulder, giving him hope.
"Hey Logan! Hesh! Morning!" the sound of a girl calling out at Logan as the two turned to see Paula smiling at them.
"Morning to you to Paula."
"So, you had a good night sleep?"
"Yeah, no nightmares, nothing."
"Okay, good to know." her giggle is amusing to hear for Logan. She is part of the Ghosts team, however, her attitude and personality is real different from the others. She usually sounds cheerful, energetic almost everytime, and times in which she wasn't really all serious. Logan was curious as to how she ended up being with them sometime after he was captured.
"Anyway, I was going for a little fresh air just for you to know."
"You want me and Riley to come with you?"
"I'll won't mind." Logan nodded, he steps out of the building with Hesh and Riley where they take a stroll through the base when they see Alex leaving the base. Wondering what she's up to, the two brothers followed her to god knows where. Apperently, she senses that they're following and without turning, sighs in annoyance.
"Logan, Hesh... Riley, I know you're following me. What do you want?"
"Um...uh... We're just wondering where you going."
"Since when are you guys curious of me?"
"Since well, two days ago."
"Huh... Never thought someone would be somewhat interested about me in just two days."
"Do you want to have a walk with us Alex?"
When Logan asked, Alex went into thinking and mumbled something that he couldn't hear before she finally spoke.
"Okay... Fine, just for a while..." Alex followed the two brothers and Riley for a walk around the ruined city, obviously, they're armed in case anything happens.
Without the three looking at her, Alex looks back with a sorry expression...
"Sorry, have to take care of them okay. Just wait for me, I'll see you." Alex whispered as the person she whispered to, who's far, nods and hides in his darkness that can't be noticed by anyone.
(Time skip)
Logan, Hesh and Alex continued through the ruined city, avoiding any hazards or obstacles, talking to each other about Logan. Logan knew he's going to get along with them well, knowing that he'll eventually remember who he was before he lost his memories.
It didn't take long for them to return the base after fifteen minutes of their walk. However...
"Alex, where are you going? The base is here."
"I just need to do something first Hesh, don't worry I'll follow."
"You've always say everytime you go somewhere."
"What? You worried about me?"
"Uh...no, I'm just curious alright."
"Yeah sure haha. Well no worries alright, I'll see you okay."
"Alright... You better not be causing troubles Alex."
"Yes mom haha." Alex said jokingly as she goes to whatever her business is.
"What's that about Hesh?"
"There are times Alex goes somewhere I don't know the hell she is going. But it'll be fine, she comes back in about an hour or a half."
"Do you think she's hiding something?"
"I think so, but I wouldn't worry about that."
"Okay..."
Logan felt curious on where Alex is going, but if she needs privacy, it would be just to leave her be to her own business.
Nearing the base...
"So Logan, you remrmber anything?"
"Um...yeah... I remember when we were teens, we went to a concert Elias allowed us to go, which is not like the usual stuffs we did..."
"Elias? Don't you mean dad Logan?"
"I'm sorry Hesh, I just...don't feel any connection with you or anyone else... I'm sorry..."
Hesh sighs, he knew it's really going to be tough to get Logan to remember. Then, he remembers something that he thinks it would help Logan remember and decided to give it a shot.
"Logan."
"Yes?"
"I think I know what will help you remember everything."
"What is it?"
"I've been keeping it since you've been captured."
"Alright, so what is it you've kept for me?"
"You-" Before Hesh can answer, he stopped there and felt something off, the quietness around them sounds too ominous and could hear a faint sound when Hesh realize...
"What?"
"Shit! Get down!" they got themselves down when an explosion hits in front of them, knocking them down.
"Damn! We're being assaulted! Merrick, you there!" Hesh called through his comms.
"Hesh, this is Merrick, what is it?"
"We're being assaulted! Can you save our asses?!"
"Shit, who's with you Hesh?!"
"I'm with Logan, we need help now!"
"We're on it, me, Keegan and Paula are coming in your way! Stay put!"
"Alright, thanks. Logan, are you okay?!" Hesh rushed to Logan, who was knock down hard and Logan was left dazed.
"I-I-I'm fine, I'm okay Hesh..."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm fine."
Hesh picked him up and got him to his feet as they try to run and hide, it didn't take long for another missile to hit and another explosion came. Unfortunately, Logan was just next to the explosion and last launched him in the air and apperently, knocking him out.
"Logan!" Logan faintly hear Hesh's...no wait...his...brother's...voice...screaming for him. His vision going blurry as the darkness envelops around him.
All could Logan see is darkness, but then... Images flashes his vision, almost every moments that happened, it came to him...
Eventually, he realize what he's seeing, are those...his memories?
He found himself in San Diego and there saw himself and Hesh fleeing from the destruction when an explosion knocked Logan down and Hesh took him to the truck with the help of his dad as they escape the destruction going on in San Diego what was done by ODIN.
Then, he found himself in a chopper, surrounded by the Ghosts with Hesh when Elias revealed himself to his sons being the leader of the team.
There were so much moments he is seeing, eventually, he came upon the one moment when his dad...was killed...
Logan found himself layed down next to his dad, he was bleeding fatally from the many gunshots he endured. Then, he said to Logan.
"I'm proud of you, Logan. Everything's gonna be...okay."
"D-d-dad...?" Logan began to stammer as he saw a boot pinning his dad's head down and a gun pointed at the side of his head. And a familiar voice was heard, and Logan was in disbelief...
"Oh...you are right, Elias. I'm not a Ghost. I'm the man that hunts them, and sends them back to the other side."
Logan got a glimpse of who spoke and saw Rorke, grinning at him as he pulls the trigger and blood splattered across Logan's face, he was left in a shock and everything just faded when he found himself in the beach with Rorke in front of him and Hesh.
"Look at what you did." Rorke kicks Hesh to the ground before looking at Logan & kneeling down in front of him, Logan knew something's familar about this
"You're good. You would have been a hell of a Ghost. But that's not gonna happen. There ain't gonna be any Ghosts." He then makes an evil grin as he continues, "We're gonna destroy them together."
"No…No!" Logan screams as Rorke pulls him, pulling him by the leg as Rorke drags him.
"Logan." Hesh tried to reach him.
"Hesh!" Logan tried to reach out to Hesh with his good arm as well, but both of the brothers were already out of reach.
"Logan!" Hesh became desperate as Logan gets even farther away from him.
"LOGAN!"
"DAVID!" Logan cries out to his brother as he helplessly gets dragged away by Rorke & then, a flash of light hit his vision.
Logan wakes up with a big gasp, he was breathing fast and heavy, his heartbeat going fast-paced, his head sweaty and his eyes widened in realization...
"I-I remember... I remember everything! I GODDAMN REMEMBER EVERYTHING!"
Everything was true...
Elias is his father.
He's a Ghost.
He was captured by Rorke and was tortured.
Rorke killed his father right in front of him.
He lived in San Diego.
He had a dog name Riley.
His name is Logan Walker.
And most importantly, Hesh...David...is his big brother, his real big brother.
Everything that Hesh said was true, there was no lie at all... They've been telling him the truth all along...
When Logan looked around to find himself in the infirmary of the base. Hesh, Keegan and Paula were there sitting by when they saw Logan woke up scared.
"Logan, you okay?" Paula asked.
"I-I r-remember everything..." Logan repeated the phrase, the three knew well that Logan finally snapped out and remember everything...
"Logan..."
"H-He... Wait...D-David... Everything you said..." Logan was nearly breaking down upon realization of what Hesh said to him. Hesh was hit hard the moment Logan spoke to him... as his brother... The brother he thought has lost... It was a long time since he was called by his real name...
The last time Hesh heard his brother call him out by his name was the day he was taken away by Rorke... Hesh didn't notice his eyes were starting to build up its tears, threatening to fall any second...
"Dad... My home... The team... The Federation... Rorke..." And then, Logan looked at Hesh with emotions messing around his face, where he finally says it.
"And...y-you... I...I'm sorry..." he whimpered.
"Sorry? S-sorry for what?"
"For bringing this mess on you..."
"You never did Logan, I never stopped thinking about you since that day... I have no anger in me that makes me hate you now... I'm the one who should say sorry Logan..." a single tear slip through his left eye, he closed them shut to prevent anymore from falling, but he knew full well he's already beginning to cry regardless.
"I was too weak to save you... We took too long to find you... We thought you died... I-I should've been strong enough..."
"David..." he places a hand on Hesh's cheek to give him comfort.
"There's nothing you could do... It's not your fault."
"Logan, didn't you see, I tried to reach you! But I was weak, crippled, helpless..."
"And I was the same when I tried reaching you, it's no one's fault got that, there's nothing you could've done to save me. Enough dwelling on the past, besides..." Logan gave a smile, tears still slipping in his face.
"I'm still here... I'm here... Alive and well, you don't have to blame yourself regardless."
Hesh was left speechless as they embrace, Keegan and Paula stood there, both were smiling at them, knowing that the Logan has regained his memories.
"Weird that a Federation assault would help Logan remember." Paula whispered to Keegan.
"Well, it was an unintentional thing those dumbass people did." Paula nodded at him when Merrick came where he already caught a sight of the two brothers hugging each other, at first he doesn't what's going on, but Keegan told him what happened and that gave satisfaction.
"Looks like we finally got our boy back then..."
"Yep."
"Now uh... Everyone, sorry to break the celebration but..." the brothers looked at Merrick as Logan, Hesh, Keegan and Paula listened.
"Time to get prepared, Aneheim's assaulted again, so get your butts up and prepare." Merrick then looked Logan.
"You okay Logan?"
"Yeah, I'm fine now..."
"Good, but you have to stay, we just got you back, we cannot afford to lose you again."
"No, I have to come, I'm fine."
"Logan, are you sure?" Hesh looked at Logan with a worried look.
"Yes Hesh, and this time, I'll won't let them take me again." Logan gave a reassuring smile as Hesh nodded.
"Alright then... Everyone, get yourselves ready, let's move." Everyone left the infirmary, but before Logan is about to leave, he bumped into Alex, which caught both of guard.
"Oh, sorry Logan, my bad."
"It's okay Alex. Hey, I remember."
"Remember? Remember what?"
"I remember everything, I remember everything Alex."
"R-really?"
"Of course, don't believe?"
"That's great." Alex smiled.
"Thanks Alex, are you going to get ready?"
"Yeah, Merrick told me about what's happening in Aneheim. Come on, let's get going."
"Right." Logan and Alex proceeded ro get themselves ready, however, Logan slowly stopped while Alex continued until she notice Logan stopped.
Logan soon realize what he's doing, he thought about Wade...
Even though he remembered everything, he still has feelings for Wade, he was a good person to hang out with. A little of him thought he might be just acting as his brother cause of orders, but what he does with Logan and how he treats him as a brother is all too real...
Even for Marx and Carol, they treated him as a great friend, they seem to be real.
And now here he is, about to fight them, his own friends...and brother?
He still see Wade as his brother even if Hesh is his real brother. Hesh and Wade are both good, equally good...
"Logan, what's wrong?"
"I'm fine, it's okay Alex..." Alex narrowed her eyes staring at Logan's face and fhe way he's acting.
"Liar."
"What? I'm not, I swear."
"Yeah sure Logan, come here." Alex gestured Logan to follow her to an empty room where no one can listen knowing it might private to Logan.
Once the two enter, she closes the door and locks it as the two sit on the chairs, both the chairs facing each other. Logan and Alex then look at each other face to face. Logan was becoming nervous since he and Alex are alone and no one else is here, after all, they're preparing.
"Logan, what's up with you? I am dead serious..."
"Okay, look, I already know the truth. Everything already came back to me. That's what I'm happy with cause I'm goddamn away from that son of a bitch Rorke. But I still have feelings for my friends back in the Federation."
"Let me guess, Wade, Marx and Carol?" Alex raised an eyebrow.
"...How do you know their names?"
"Well...when the Ghosts assaulted a Federation base days after the Federation just got their ass destroyed by their own weapon cause you guys took over it. I saw Hesh and both of us recognize each other since we haven't seen each other since the ODIN strike. We were both hesitant at first, but then, I decided to join him..."
"Wait, you were with the Federation?"
"Before yes, now, I changed sides cause no way I'm gonna work with my goddamn father, who is not my father at all cause he died..."
"...Rorke?" Logan guessed.
"...Yes... He...he wasn't the same as before, but now he's just a different person, he's no longer my dad who I used to be..."
"I'm sorry Alex..."
"It's okay, I got over this shit. So back to the topic, what's that about?"
"Well, even if they have lied to me, they still treated me as a friend, a brother... They never leave me behind... The connection with them, it feels real... Especially with Wade... I couldn't see any backstabbing feelings that's hidden in them..."
"So what are you saying?"
"Alex, we're going to Aneheim and they're there attacking and I'm here going to fight them..."
"And now you're stuck on which will you fight with?"
"Exactly..." Logan sighs as he slumps, he doesn't know what to do in this situation at all.
"I see... Apperently Logan...this is inevitable... You'll REALLY have to choose who you'll go with... You can't do anything now since you're about to go out there and fight."
"Wait, are you saying that it's up to me?"
"Of course dumbass, what am I telling you? It's wither you go with America or Federation, Ghosts or Rorke, Hesh...or Wade..."
Logan couldn't comprehend this, he needs to think about it.
"Logan, Alex, where are you? You ready yet?" Merrick called through their comms.
"Yeah, we're coming, just finishing up, we'll be on our way." Alex responded through her comms as she unlocks the door.
"Come on, you can think when we're on our way to Aneheim, you'l have time to think later. Now, go get yourself ready."
"Alright." Logan got up as the two go to ready themselves.
"Alex..."
"Yes?"
"I'm glad to see you again after you've disappeared for almost fifteen years..." Logan gave a smile, which Alex gave back.
"Yeah... I'm glad you and Hesh remember me..."
(Time skip)
Logan had his journal in his hand while they're riding to Aneheim in the truck with Hesh, Paula, Keegan, Merrick and Alex along with a bunch of other soldeirs. Hesh gave it to him when they met up again after getting themselves ready. Logan keeps the journal in one of his pockets as he went into his thoughts and taught about the situation he's about to face...
Howeverm even if it was a long drive that gives him time to think, he felt that the time flew too fast...
Shit...what's happening to me... I couldn't choose...
(Time skip...again...)
Logan and Alex manage to take down two Federation soldiers as they hid in a nearby building.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, thanks Alex."
"Come on, let's get to the roof. We need to take down that building that they're taking advantage."
"Alright." The two went to the rooftop where they manage to get a good view of two twin buildings overlooking the view, the sunset being in the middle. There they caught a sight of three Fed soldiers shooting at their enemies from the right building.
The left building is where the Ghosts come through, Hesh, Keegan and Paula reached the rooftop where the three got a good view of Logan and Alex.
"Logan! You got the grenade launcher with you?"
"Yeah Hesh! I got it!"
"Good!"
When a Federation soldier turned to see Logan, he was shocked and surprised. Logan noticed that as he looks closely, it's Marx.
"Holy shit... Logan! Thank god you're alright."
"M-Marx?"
"Wade! Carol! It's Logan, he's alright!" the two other soldiers stopped shooting when the two saw who Marx is pointing at.
"Logan, thank god you're alright, I heard what happened in Caracas. You tough shit!" Wade was happy to see Logan.
"My... I'm so glad you're alright Logan." Carol smiles brightly. Logan always like her smile.
"You sure can handle a lot of shit there." Marx complimented.
"Logan, come on, let's take them down, we'll finally fight as brothers!"
"Okay, now hold your shit!" Hesh interrupted which caught the three Feds attention.
"Logan's MY brother you lying shit! No way he's falling for your tricks!" Wade was surprised by what Hesh said as he turned to look at Logan.
"You knew?" his face was filled with hurt.
"Y-yes Wade, I knew. B-b-but please... I-I need to think." Logan stepped back a bit and looked away as his mind is stuck in confusion again.
(Time for some little dialogue only...)
Marx: Wow there, Logan's OUR friend here, there's no way you could take him from us!
Hesh: Hah! Friends with you people! You just made friends with him just cause Rorke ordered you to so he'll believe him!
Carol: Hey! It's more than that!
Paula: Yeah right like you guys kept him from us for like five years.
Logan: Shit... Why is this happening...?
Keegan: There's no way you'll turn Logan against us like how you've turned Rorke against us!
Wade: Shut up! Logan! Look, please. We know we've lied to you for all those years, but please, come back to us! We love you more than anything! We've always look out for each other! We need you back Logan!
Hesh: Logan! Watch it, it's probably one of those tricks the Federation are doing! Don't listen to him!
Wade: Come back! We may not be brothers, but we always see each other as brothers!
Hesh: I'm not going to lose you again Logan! Stay with us! You're a Ghost! You're my brother! We look out for each other!
Logan: I uh... I... I um...
Hesh and Wade: LOGAN!
Everyone stared at Logan intently
Hesh: Logan, please... You're with us...
Paula: L-Logan?
Carol: Logan?
Wade: Come with us Logan. Please... We need you...
Alex: ...Logan...you'll have to decide now...
(Okay, back to narrating)
Everyone is looking at Logan, he felt scared, nervous, confused. It's a tough decision, in fact, the toughest decision in his entire life. Then, he felt everything froze as he goes into his thoughts...
My team... W-who should I go? Ghosts or Federation? Hesh or Wade? Shit...shit, shit, shit. Hesh and the others may have took too long to find me, but I understand the situation they've been through letely in trying to rescue me, Hesh always treated great, he's my big brother... Wade treated me the same despite the fact he ain't my real big brother... Though the Federation has done so much cruel and shitty actions, I did made friends with some, especially with Marx and Carol... We shared the same feeling about the Federation... B-but... I... I don't know who to choose... SHIT! WHY MUST I FUCKING HELL GODDAMN DO THIS?! HUH?! WHY!? Why...? Why...? This can't be happening... If only... This war... This fucking war... If only this fucking war ended after killing Rorke, than I should've been in this shit in the first place... Logan slightly sobbed silently, luckily no one heard him.
Hesh? Wade? Who should I be with...? Who? I have to make a choice... Stay with the Ghosts and defend America...? Or go with the Federation and help conquer...? Which should I side...?
Which...should I side with...?
Logan felt as if the darkness surrounded him and that he's all alone for him to decide, he was lost in his thoughts all alone...
He doesn't know what to do...
Stay with the Ghosts and defend America?
Or...
Go with the Federation and help conquer?
Logan knew... That if he makes a decision...
There's no turning back...
And everything will turn shit...
Uh-oh... Logan's now going to have to decide whether to side with America/Ghosts or Federation.
Which side do you think he'll choose? It's up to him now... He can only decide...
Oh! And what's Alex bee doing? And who is she talking to? Well, you'll of course find out soon.
Again, I know you guys might find this rushed, but yeah, have to update...
