The War of the Future

Chapter Nine The Kill Code

March 27th 2120

Hunter and Jess were in trouble now, Julie was angrily looking down at them and said "What the heck are you doing here!?" Hunter got up and explained to General Myers "Wrench helped us make this kill code, if we plug it in to the transmitter it will send it out and shut down any War-Robots that enter the city". Julie gasped in shock. She then looked over at Wrench who was trying (Unsuccessfully) to sneak away and said "Just where do you think your going?". Wrench froze, turned around with his leather jacket on and sighed. "Okay fine" he admitted. "When they told me the plan, I agreed and made them the kill code". Julie slapped her face, she then realised something and turned around to ask the pair "How did you sneak out?" Hunter then admitted that they had snuck through the air vents to escape the People's Fortress. Julie sighed and said "Give me one good reason why this insane plan will work". Jessica stepped forward and said "Because if we just destroy it, War-Net will just send a mobile one and it will be impossible to find". Julie thought for a minute and finally said "One chance". Hunter and Jess then got down and squeezed through the entrance point. It was difficult and they barely fit through. But they were able to get in and saw the inside of the transmitter. It was a huge circular room as tall as the transmitter itself, there were power lines across the floor that went all the way to the huge pillar at the centre of the room and there were computer screens all across the pillar. Hunter looked up to see an input point on the top of the pillar and realised he had to get up their. "Here you go" said General Julie Myers, as she tossed magnet gloves through the door. Hunter placed the gloves on and started climbing up. Jess shouted up at him "There's not much time, hurry!" Hunter knew that this was a race against time and then all of a sudden, the screens lit up and the symbol of War-Net was on them.

"What is the meaning of this?" War-Net said in its ghastly voice. Hunter had just made it to the input point. All of a sudden, an unarmoured War-Corpse inside the transmitter lit came online and started climbing up to kill Hunter! "I will not let you prevent your species fate" War-Net sadistically said. Hunter jammed the Kill Code into the input point and all of a sudden, the War-Corpse grabbed hold of his foot! It started to try and pull him down to his death! General Julie Myers tossed a pistol through the entrance point and said to Jess "Shoot!" Jess picked up the pistol and shot the War-Corpse of the ladder. A holographic screen on the pillar then lit up with the words "If you want to transmit this code to all War-Robots in a 250 mile radius, press Y". Hunter saw the letter Y on the touchscreen and as the War-Corpse started to get back up again, he said "Sorry War-Net, your Wi-Fi warranty just expired". He then pressed the letter Y and the transmitter started to send the Kill Code to every War-Robot in the city. "NO!" War-Net shouted as its connection to the War-Robots in San-Francisco was terminated.

Just as the War-Corpse got back on its feet, the Kill Code got transmitted to it and it shut down. The War-Corpses, War-Rex's and War-Eagles across the city were then disconnected from War-Net and shut down. All across the city, survivors who were in hiding cheered with joy as the War-Robots that had tried to kill them for years on end shut down. Finally they were all safe from War-Net and the city was liberated! An army of 20,000 War-Corpses were headed into the city with a mobile transmitter in tow, but the moment the signal went out, all of them (Including the Mobile Transmitter) were disconnected from War-Net.

April 4th 2120

San Francisco's remaining population of 20,000 people, who had been in hiding since the war began, the 30,000 civilians of the F.P.A and the F.P.A as a whole was gathered at War-Nets former fortress in the city. A week had passed since the cities liberation and already things were improving. The Free People's Army was rebuilding the urban farms to feed all 50,000 of their people, homes were being repaired and schools were being built to educate the children. A huge stage had been set up and General Julie Myers was on the stage with a microphone. The crowd cheered her on and she made a speech.

"People of San-Francisco, 1 week ago our city was liberated and is now recovering. The Kill Code is being transmitted and any War-Robot that enters our fair city will shut down the moment it enters. A missile grid has been set up so that War-Net cannot fire missiles at us and our city is now a safe haven for survivors. We still have a long way to go before our world is taken back from War-net, but at least we have each other. Of course none of this could have been possible if not for these two, Hunter Padlock and Jessica Carter, give em some love!"

The crowd applauded as Hunter and Jess got on the stage. Hunter got the microphone and said "Thank you everyone, now we of course did our best to save this city and now War-Net is outta here!" The crowd applauded him and Jess then said "For too long War-Net has oppressed us, but now we have a way of fighting back against it and one day, Earth will be ours AGAIN!" Applause came from the crowd like mad as Julie awarded them the People's Star for their actions and said "You two are gonna do great things for the world, after all, this is our world and its what we make it".
