Chapter 3
Before The Loss
The sun shined across Halvo Bay without any worries except of the news of the War. People continued their usual daily efforts of buying and selling. Through the busy streets patrolled, Gears known as "Onyx Guards" the Elite force of the C.O.G.. The 3 walked through calmly holding their Lancers close, people respected them for what they have done. For what they were, the Onyx Guards.
Ravens flew across the fresh ocean seas carrying Gears, and Onyx Guards returning from the E-day incident. Others began to leave to help them at Jacinto the massive city and main location of the Locust E-day. Halvo Bay a peaceful city near the ocean beach side, Onyx Guards where known by their Academy and by their unbelievable courage, and being the hardest thing to become.
The toy doll of a blonde child fell onto the hot concrete floor, her father held her hand as she let go. Looking around wildly for her precious dolly she noticed a black glove extended towards her. She smiled wide quickly grabbing the doll in the pink dress she hugged it and looked at the individual. She was amazed by his armor and his lights that glowed in the shadow. The name was spelled out in front of her as she whispered aloud
"FADE"
He stood up as she was held again by her father and rushed off within that moment Fade stared at her. She waved happily towards him and said aloud.
"Thank You "she said
Within that moment an eruption of concrete exploded in front of Fade and the father along with the daughter. Fade was thrown back hard into the cracked, shaking concrete. He struggled to move as he stared forward witnessing 16 glowing yellow eyes rising. Fade only stared as its roar was so loud and crackly that Fade felt fear. The beast was known as a "Corpser" its spider body arose form the whole which it made slamming its powerful 4 legs down into the concrete in front of Fade. The Corpser's head was massive compared to a human's body, the Corpser got in closer towards Fade. It screamed face first, Fade couldn't believe this, a massive spider beast like creature. Bullets bounced off its metal helmet giving it complete immunity to gun fire towards its skull. The Corpser screeched and yelled as Fade quickly grabbed his Crimson Omen Lancer until the corpse bit his leg and pulled him towards the whole.
His Onyx gears ran towards him, another unit ran to aid until a buildings entire wall bursted into flames. Locust known t the C.O.G. as "Boomers" a massively sized individual who was about the height of 10 feet. Its skin was rough and pale as snow, it had ugly features around its body and face. It roamed with blood red eyes and black nails, yet powerful in strength and weaponry. Its primary weapon a massive rocket launcher, traveling in packs of 2 they aimed towards the evading Onyx Guards. An Onyx Guard exploded as he was hit by an incoming rocket from the Boomer as he blew up into chunks of meat.
Fade didn't yell he only paid attention towards the ground trying to get a solid grip in the dirt wrecked concrete soil. The Corpser screeched even more as Bullets continued to bother him while trying to take his first above victim. Fade looked at the beast and aimed his Lancer, bullets flew towards its bottom jaw, causing it to throw him out of the E-whole. Fade flew into an abandoned car, he slammed into the glass helmet first as he grunted and fell onto the floor. His team mates rushed over to him after one threw a grenade into the E-whole. Fade looked back past them noticing the dolly's head was severed, he stared in shock to know that family was gone before his eyes. Fade reached out towards it as more Onyx Guards ran past him and headed into combat.
