That took me a VERY LONG time to update this again. Sorry for the wait, writer's block really hits me hard and had other stuffs to do apparently... :(

But hey, manage to finish the chapter. Again, I have a feeling this one ain't that good. But did my best.

Again, I don't own anything except my OCs.

Oh btw, I recently started an EarthBound and Call of Duty crossover call "Brothers No Matter What", so I hope you could at least check it out, I only made one chapter, but I'm still working on the next chapter cause well again, have been busy lately... Speaking of crossovers and EarthBound stuffs, Marieevee started an Undertale and Call of Duty crossover "Flower Soldier". Try reading it if ever.

Also, Coffee Monsta recently started a sequel for "You Can't Kill a Roach" called "Revenge". If you haven't checked it out, how about you do it now, it ain't bad, I promise you. :)

And with that said, Logan has finally made choice.


Logan could do nothing...

Nothing but to decide who to side with...

America and the Ghosts...

Or the Federation...

He's now torn between the sides.

And he couldn't do anything to prevent this from happening.

You know what... Logan, after a few minutes of thinking, finally decided...

Fuck this... FUCK THIS SHIT! Logan snapped as he drops his rifle, looking up with an upset look, which gives Alex a confused look.

Oh shit... Logan just broke...

"FUCK THIS!" Logan shouted agonizingly, which surprised everyone.

"I-I can't betray any of you!"

"Logan?" Alex began to worry about him.

"Up until this moment..." Logan turned to face Wade.

"You guys have treated me as if I'm part of your family. You, Marx and Carol, I could've been happier to be with you guys!"

"Well, so you're coming with us then?" Wade smiled.

"Logan? What are you thinking, if you're going with them, are you going to see us as enemies and let Rorke follow through his plans?" Hesh looked hurt, but...

"...No... I'll won't betray you either. Hesh... I'm happy that we have found each other after all those years... You, Keegan, Merrick, Alex and Paula have welcomed me with open arms when you saw me alive. I couldn't fight you either... I-I c-couldn't..."

"Of course, we feel the same thing, I won't like it if I have to fight you..." Hesh smiled when Logan still wants to be with him.

"Yes... That's...why...I'll won't side with either of you... Look, can't you see how I'm feeling right now? I'm fucked up here, I don't know what to do! I-I don't want to fight any of you! It's not that goddamn simple to choose for Christ's sake!"

"Then what are you..." Hesh said first.

"...going to do then?" Wade coincidentally finished what Hesh was about to ask.

"I don't know, but we can settle this, there has to be a way without any blood in our hands, we can just-"

"That's enough Logan! I can see what you're saying, but this is war, and right now, we'll come back together like a family."

"Not so fast! We just got Logan back and you can't have him! You're not going to take him away from me again!"

"No wait! Hesh! Wade!" But they ran off & went back inside with the others following, obviously they'll fight to death to get Logan back.

"Shit, I have to do something to stop them, guess I'll have to step in if I have to... Alex?"

"Yes."

"You knew I'l ask for-"

"Help? Yeah, of course, you look like you'll go through shit now."

"Tell me about..." as Logan sighs, someone barge through the door, rifle in hand, ready to shoot.

"Hold it right there!"

"Oh shit." Logan turned & aims his gun at the Fed soldier, who was wearing a white mask, black sunglasses & a black hat...

The soldier was stunned when he met Logan's face.

"Logan?"

"Kendrick? Is that you?"

"The fuck? You're alive?! Damn it, you could've died back in Caracas!"

"Guess I was lucky..."

"I guess so..." when Kendrick sees Alex next to Logan.

"Alex?!"

"Hey psychic man, didn't expect to see you..." Logan felt confused, the way Alex responded to him is as if she knows him, and what did she mean by "psychic man".

"Yeah me too... And don't call me...that right now please..."

"Alright haha."

"Um... Alex, you know him? And why did you call him "psychic man"? I'm confused..."

"Well duh... Of course I know him. And you don't have to know."

"...Okay? I guess..."

"Anyway, what's going on?"

"My two big brothers, one who is my real one and the second who pretended, yet the way he treated me is true and real, are about to kill each other just so either one of them will take me back and I have no idea how to step in to stop them."

"You sounded like you've gone through a lot."

"Of course I've gone through a lot!"

"Okay, if that's the case, try to get their attention."

"How?"

"I don't know actually."

"Really?"

"What does it look like? I got nothing."

"Well, I guess I'll have to do the hard way then to get their attention..." Logan decided that he'll have to fight to get their attention as he goes to the ground floor where the others are fighting as Alex and Kendrick follow.

While on their way down...

Alex, why didn't you tell me that Logan's with you?

I didn't know you two met alright, my god...

Well, now we're both caught up in the same situation then huh...

Yep...

By the way, you almost blew my cover back there.

Oh well sorry then! I didn't mean to...

He'll know about us if you blow this.

I don't know Kendrick, but we might need it to get Hesh and Wade to stop fighting.

Hell no! No way I'm risking our cover for this!

Can you just be selfless for this one now?! Be as selfless as the kid?! You're his cousin and you have the same gift as him! Hell, he's thirteen years old and manages to save the world from an evil alien!

Heh... You never stop comparing me to him do you?

If that's the only way to convince you. Alex game Kendrick a smirk.

Ugh... Fine, you win Alex...

Good, now enough using Telepathy, we got a friend to help.

Before I stop, if ever I lose control, please sing the song like you always did, don't try to make yourself disappear...

As you wish. The trio reached the ground floor where they were met with the streets filled with gunshots and tanks raging through the streets.

"Okay... Now what Logan?"

"From the looks of this... I don't know."

"Why do you keep saying that Logan?" Kendrick glared.

"I'm serious alright! Damn it, this is hopeless!"

Welp, I guess I don't have any other choice then... Kendrick sighs as he steps out of the building.

"What the hell are you doing Kendrick?! You'll get your ass blown up if you go out!"

"Logan..." Kendrick turns to look at Logan as well as Alex next to him, who nods at Kendrick, it seems inevitable for him now...

"...Promise me you don't ask a lot about this..."

Actually, he'll still ask, but whatever...

"What the hell are you talking about?!"

Kendrick sighs as he focuses himself while Alex holds Logan by his arm as the two steps back.

"You might wanna step back, this'll be a little shaky."

"Wha? Alex, what are you talking about?" Logan asked, but no answer came and the two look at what the masked man will do...

Kendrick shouts out and with a big stomp of his foot, creates a shockwave that causes the ground to shake violently, causing some parts of road to collapse, which led to the tanks to sink into the ground while most soldiers from both forces also fell through the hole where they're knocked out.

The shaking stopped and everything was settled. Logan was awe strucked at what he just saw as Alex looks at Logan.

"Yeah, it seems to look crazy to you."

"What...the fuck...?" Logan's eyes were wide as Kendrick looks back at Logan.

"Don't worry, I only knocked most of them out."

"What. The hell. Was that?"

"Ugh... Can you shut up, we'll explain after this."

Logan, Alex and Kendrick rush through the streets where the trio manages to knock out any American and Federation soldiers that are in their sight, with Logan and Alex throwing flashbangs to blind them and hit them hard in the head to knock them out. Well, Kendrick did most of the work, seeing the shockwave was the beginning for Logan. He witnesses Kendrick do many more shocking actions, lifting soldiers with his mind, creating an energy wave that paralyzed them, putting them to sleep. Man, so much things Kendrick was doing and Logan could not comprehend this properly.

(Time skip)

"Logan? What the hell are you doing? Are you turning back on us? Shit, we can't afford a 2-on-1 at this moment, time to retreat, we have to retreat now!" Wade commanded as the Federation army retreats.

"What the... Logan, what the hell are you doing? This isn't looking good... We have to fall back if that's the case." Hesh did the same when he saw Logan.

It took time till the trio finally got Hesh and Wade's attention, but it wasn't the outcome they expected...

"It seems everyone are retreating, I think it worked..." Logan sighs as he turns to look at Kendrick's masked face.

"Okay, now all is left is YOU. I have one question... WHAT WAS THAT YOU JUST DID?!"

Kendrick and Alex looks at each other, knowing now that they both have a lot of explaining to do.

"Alright... I-"

"Stand down now!" a shout was heard, in fact there were two who shouted the same words as two groups, one at the very far left street and the other at the very far right street, ready and aim fire at the trio.

"Holy shit..." Logan raises his hand with the two following as they realize it was both the American army and Federation army aiming at the trio.

"Kendrick, what's going on here?"

"Don't know, but I'll see..." Kendrick then uses Telepathy to read both of the groups' minds, when he read their thoughts, they were in fact the same...

"Oh great..."

"What is it?" Logan asked.

"Both think we betrayed them, I could even sense your two brothers' presence, they're feelings are torn..."

"No... We have to-"

"Logan, this is not a good time to talk and negotiate with them at this moment. We have to get the hell out of here."

"Alex is right, we're surrounded and they'll either take us P.O.W. or kill us."

"If we're surrounded, how do we even get out?" Logan frowns at Kendrick, knowing it's impossible to escape now.

"Remember that trick I did to get us two to Caracas?"

"Yeah?"

"Guess you'll see how it works. First, hold my hand and Alex's hand."

"Huh? Why?"

"Ugh... You'll see Logan." Alex grabs Logan's right hand while Kendrick grabs his left.

"What are we doing?"

"Teleport."

"Wait what? How?"

"Just hang on tight, both me and Alex. Your questions will be answered."

"A-alright, I guess?"

"Alright time to run in circles."

"What?"

"Stop asking Logan! Just do it!"

"Alright, sorry Alex, sheesh..." the three began to run around in a circle as the groups attempt to take them down.

Logan started to hear a whirring sound that's gradually getting louder as he feels himself getting faster at the same time. Then, sparks began to surround the trio, and from that moment on, he felt himself zoom in light speed and the three zooms into a generated portal where it disappears instantly the moment Logan, Alex and Kendrick zooms through it.

Logan looks both sides and above, noticing that they're going through some kind of light tunnel, it didn't take long for them to finally reach their destination as the portal reappears in front of them where they emerge from portal, leaving behind a fire trail and the portal disappearing in an instant. He notices that he's completely covered in soot along with Kendrick and Alex, that's something he didn't expect as they shake off the soot.

"Sorry, this happens sometimes or when we end up hitting something or someone when teleporting."

"Right... Where are we?" they look around to find themselves in an abandoned and destroyed city, not a single soul in sight.

"We're just at the other side of the Pacific."

"Kendrick, specific..." Logan made a sigh.

"Kendrick... Why here?"

"Alex, let's not talk about this please..."

"Talk about what?"

"None of your business, but all I can say is..." he froze as he felt the pain of saying the name of this place, but continued.

"...we're in Manila..."

"Manila? What's that?"

"Are you like for real Logan?"

"Um I'm sorry Alex, but I never heard of this place before."

"What kind of a person doesn't know anything about Manila."

"Okay you two, shut your asses up. We're in the Philippines, which is nothing but a forgotten and destroyed country now thanks to the war. And the population: ZERO."

"The Philippines... It's been a long time since I last heard of this place, okay, now I know Manila."

"Oh wow, you remembered yay..."

"Being a sarcastic bitch aren't ya Alex."

'Well guess what punk, I am a sarcastic bitch." Alex replied with a scoff at Kendrick.

"Okay, can you guys just tell me just what has happened here? This city? This country?"

"You remember THAT day where everything changed?"

"You mean when the Federation broke the truce and hijacked ODIN, yeah I remember, my home was destroyed that day..."

"I'm sorry to remind you of this, but I'm sure you remember that they targeted only the big cities in the United States right?"

"Right."

"Well, they weren't the only ones... In fact, they also targeted the ones who are allies with the United States, and apperently..." Kendrick looks at a collapsed US embassy as Logan and Alex stare at what he's staring.

"Philippines is among them. In fact, they targeted this country first before the some of the other countries that are allies with US and the cities in America that will be destroyed as well like LA and San Diego."

"Why them first?"

"Well, reality check Logan, this is a poor country and gets frequently hit by natural calamities like typhoons, earthquakes and volcanoes. Let's just say the Federation just went for the weak first and at the same time, destroy a pillar that supports America." Alex answered Logan's question first before Kendrick would answer.

"As what Alex said, this is a poor country so they decided to target this place first, especially since that time, almost everyone were still asleep in their beds or they're already getting ready for the day."

"Talk about Pearl Harbor ripoff..."

"Something like that, there were barely and survivors in the attack."

"It's not only the city here that they targeted did they..."

"Yes, the provinces, the cities, the islands, they targeted all of them and there, no one but some in Manila survived... So they pratically killed an entire country..."

"Holy shit... How do you know about this?"

"...Anyway, it doesn't matter, since this country is dead, no one would go searching for us here. In fact, we're in the the other side of the Pacific so they're far from us now."

"So you're saying we'll take shelter here?"

"Yep, whether you like or not Logan. So don't be a whiner."

"Hell no, I ain't a whiner Alex, why keep picking on me?"

"Hey, I just want to lighten the mood."

"Not at this time..."

"Anyway, I have to ask Logan... Why did you choose neither? If you could just choose a side, at least you'll have someone to be at your side. Also, you might have just been with Hesh since the Federation is just pure evil."

"You two are here."

"Okay, I guess we're with you, but still, why? You'll lose everything."

"If that's what I can do to stop Hesh and Wade from fighting, so be it, I love them equally. I know I should've sided with my REAL home country, but I have some good and close friends in the Federation. It's not that simple to choose honestly, it was hard to think of who I'll go with..."

"I see... If that's how it's going to be, we'll help you out..."

"Alex... Kendrick... T-thanks... It's great that you two will help."

"Heh... We have no choice already since we followed you down, no turning back on this."

"Okay. Just one more question..."

"What is it then Logan?" Alex asked.

"The shockwave... The throwing... The electric field... The teleport... How did you do all of this Kendrick? It was...well...actually awesome and at the same time...weird..."

Kendrick sighs as he knew that it was inevitable to reveal it.

"Okay, I'm psychic, I have psychic powers alright."

"Psychic powers... Huh, that's really cool man."

"Thanks... I guess..."

"Alright, so what do we do now?"

"About that Alex, we'll just have to find shelter then."

"That's something we can do."

"Alright, follow me guys" Kendrick took the lead to look for a safe haven for themselves where they reached an abandoned wrecked house, Logan could have sworn he heard Kendrick mumbled, he couldn't hear what he said, but it sounded like a "welcome home...", but he wouldn't worry about that. The house looked wrecked, but still standing, so it seems safe for them to stay. As they enter, the house looked as if a tornado just torn through the rooms. Apperently, the time zone is different, so if makes sense it's still night for a few hours till dawn will break in.

"Hold it, how are we gonna eat?"

"I'll take care of that, now, we'll get some shut eyes now."

"Alright, I guess so..."

"Come on Logan, let's go get to the bedroom, I'm sure the bed's still intact".

"You sure Alex?"

"I am 100% sure Logan, enough questions man..." Logan noticed Kendrick's going to a different room as he asks Alex while walking up the stairs.

"Where is he going to sleep?"

"Somewhere in the house where he'll sleep alone, so no one can disturb him."

"Huh, no wonder..."

Honestly, there's something weird and mysterious about him... Same for Alex, there's something about the two...


Seems we'll learn some secrets that Alex & Kendrick in the future. For now, we all know now that Kendrick has psychic powers. But there's something more about him, that would probably be the same for Alex.

And it seems Logan really loves both of his brothers so much, if I were to be in that situation, I would do the same honestly. So yeah, Logan decided to pick neither cause he loves his friends from both sides. But it seems that they're looking at his decision the wrong way, so uh-oh...

There're so much mysteries that Logan will discover about Alex and Kendrick now that he got the two involved. And there's one mystery that would blow his mind away... And it all started with witnessing Kendrick's powers. So yep, looks like Logan's hands are full with all of this things.

Anyway, I did my best and hope this was worth the wait.

Review, favorite or follow whatever you like, they're appreciated regardless.

See ya around :)
