Chapter 4
Re-Encounter
Fade's memory ended, looking up into the sky seeing the bright lights of flames, the scorching heat of smoke covered the night sky. Holding his Onyx White Crimson Omen Lancer in his right hand he gripped its handle in anger, in his left hand he dropped the dolly's head. He continued moving with the thoughts of how he could have done something to save them. Fade rushed through obstacles that were demolished, running to find what he remembered. The large E-whole that the Corpser had made before when killing that father and daughter. He stared towards it hearing nothing but fires and gun fire from the distance.
Gears fell to the floor screaming, others stood and fought even though it wasn't enough. The 5 gears fired their Lancer's towards the Locust invading Horde. They encountered more than what they'd hope to. Fade breathed in rapidly, his armor made such noise as he ran through the rubbles of buildings and wrecked concrete. His C.O.G. White lights glowed within the pitch black darkness when rolling through a shattered open window and into the street. Fade rolled onto 1 knee pointing his Lancer towards the screams. Shocked he only found them dead, yet in a slaughtering way, Fade stood up slowly walked towards them. Reaching for their C.O.G. tags he noticed them as Normal Gears, nothing of Onyx. Fade bowed down honoring them for their sacrifice.
Fade stood up again looking to his left, then his right seeing only the large amounts of chaos. He said nothing with the reaction of checking his clip. His Onyx Lancer was ready, slowly walking away he continued towards an open area that burned with little bits of flames. The streets were torn apart with a massive E-whole that completely took half the street. Fade held his Onyx Lancer with both hands looking at the flames he saw them, a sight he hated knowing. Burning Gears were in the flames along with innocent people, Fade held his Lancer in his right hand and with his left hand, placing it beside his helmet to hear of any communications. The sound of static had gone through only interference continued, the buildings around him were completely torn apart by gun fire and explosions.
The street was made of bricks completely ruined he noticed the Locust bodies lying around in corners and some in pieces. Fade stopped as he felt the rumble beneath his feet looking forward he saw nothing looking down he noticed the pieces of body parts and empty cases of ammo rapidly shaking. A massive spider leg arose from the ground below him he reacted quickly enough to evade its incoming attack towards him. Jumping to his left and quickly standing back up he pointed his Onyx Lancer forward only seeing nothing anymore. Suddenly the ground bursted with dirt flying and 2 burned bodies of Gears up into the air slamming down beside Fade. He moved further to his left away from the falling bodies, large screeching sounds came alive from the E-whole.
The Corpser crawled out in such a rush Fade noticed something odd about this one, the bottom jaw was severely wounded. Then Fade remembered this beast, this is the beast that killed the family, gripping his Lancer he fired towards its bottom jaw. The Corpser screamed loudly as it tried to lift its legs into the air, Fade made it walk back as it lowered its legs to protect itself. Fade noticed the behavior of its intentions to survive this small encounter, but Fade wouldn't let it leave like before. Fade slowly approached it closer and closer as it backed up, The Corpser raised its massive long legs, rapidly stomped the ground. Fade jumped back and quickly returned fire as the Corpser charged inward towards him. Fade quickly reacted by tossing a grenade towards the ground as it slightly jumped across the dirt path. The Corpser raised its legs as its face opened its mouth towards Fade. Fade stared towards it as his Lancer ran out of bullets, suddenly it happened the Corpser's bottom jaw, and chest were blown open by the strength of the explosion from Fade's grenade that rolled under its chest. The massive armored spider's body fell to the brick less street, in front of Fade he stood staring at its massive body, it had been shot and burned before running into him again. Fade walked passed it as he reloaded his Lancer.
