   Alan watched as his troops prepare for the toughest fight of their life's. Today was the day that they would take care of a very dangerous threat and wipe out the Raiders from the area. A nest of Deathclaws was the main target of this attack. Alan was put in command of three hundred soldiers and the newly made 5th Armored Core, made up of 30 tanks. Alan had doubts that his army would be enough to take down a nest of a hundred Deathclaws. Reports said that the Raiders and Slavers united with an army of five hundred to attack the nest and only ten came back alive. With a heavy sigh, Alan turned away from his window and left to join his army.

   Alan met with his elite team at the factory door and loaded up in an APC. Alan took the time to burn every one of his team's faces into his memory so that he'll never forget the brave men and women that fought along side him. Across from him was his best friend and CQC expert, Chris, and to his right was his lover and sniper, Emily. At his feet was his loyal friend, Sora, and next to Chris was his friend and heavy weapons expert, Justin. Across from Justin was the teams newest member and pyro of the group, Rin. Alan saw that Emily was nervous about the coming battle and gave her hand a comforting squeeze. Emily smiled and squeezes his hand back before putting her helmet on. Alan smiled back and put on his helmet along with the rest of his team.

   The trip to the battlefield lasted a hour and as they unloaded from the APC, and saw that they had some added help in the form of the newly made Air Force, made up of 20 Vertibirds. They had bombed the area and killed 30 Deathclaws, leaving 70 more. By luck they managed to kill one of the two Mother Deathclaws and the only Alpha Male Deathclaw. Alan ordered his army to move forward and kill any Deathclaws they see. They were met with little Deathclaws to kill and quickly closed in on the heart of the nest. They were met with the most of the remaining Deathclaws a half mile from the nest. Alan and his army opened fire with Hollow Points and Armor Piercing rounds, taking down 20 Deathclaws before they could get close enough. They pushed their way for the last half mile, only losing ten men and 20 wounded.

   As they reached the nest, they were attacked by the remaining Mother Deathclaw and Deathclaws. The battle was so chaotic that Alan lost sight of half of his team and was force to use Oblivion and Damnation. He heard Emily scream and looked her way to see that she was pinned down by a Legendary Deathclaw. Alan shot towards them in a crimson blur and tackled the Deathclaw with the force of a Mini-van. Alan swung Oblivion down and cut off it's arm, making it howl in pain. Alan grabbed the Legendary Deathclaw by it's horns and with a sickening rip, teared it's head off. The last remain Deathclaws fell soon after and Alan lifted the head up, getting a loud cheer from his remaining troops. Alan walked over to Emily and saw that she was fine with only claw marks on her armor, much like his armor. After helping her up, they both made their way to the rest of the team. Once there, Alan ordered his troops to collect the eggs and take them to the research center at the base. With that done, they all returned home to rest and gear up to destroy the Raiders.

   A few days past before Alan and his army was ready to destroy the Raiders. Alan stood at his office window watching his loyal three hundred prepare for battle. He looked over his shoulder and smiled at Emily, who was still sleeping after last night. His team will not be joining in this battle, but he still needed to lead the rest of his army. His whole army wear the T-71b power armor and was called the 15th Armored Infantry Core. Alan's army was not the only army they had. There were two other infantry cores and both had two hundred men.

   Alan turned away and quickly kissed Emily's forehead before joining his army. He joined a squad of troops in an APC and had talked for the whole hour trip. The 10th Infantry Core had destroyed most of the Raiders and it was up to Alan's 15th Armored Infantry Core to cut off the head of the snake. This group of Raiders were trapped in a vault due to the nest of Deathclaws that Alan killed days before. They have yet to learn that it was safe to leave the vault and Alan used this against them. They made a kill zone around the entrance to the vault while Alan lead six teams into the vault using Stealthboys.

   It was a piece of cake for Alan and his teams to enter the vault. Alan went towards the Overseer's office to take care of the boss while the six teams destroyed the poorly skilled Raiders. It only took Alan a few minutes and a few dead Raiders to get to the Overseer's office. Alan walked into the room and turned off the Stealthboy, making the Raider's boss jump. Alan calmly raised Damnation up and put a Hollow Point round right between the Raider's eyes. Alan turned around and walked outside while his troops cleaned up the bodies.

   This marked the day that the Slaver's days were numbered. With most of Indiana under Crimson Legion control, the only threat to them was the Slavers. Alan earned many names during his battles. The Crimson Titan was the most notorious of them all. Many feared him and his loyal three hundred.
