John POV: 

I wake up in the apartment, just not my room. My head is throbbing. The bedside window has a sniper next to it. The person who beat me up barges in with a combat knife and gets on me in a top guard position.

"Dude you tied my hands up, this is just overkill."

???: "I guess. Anyways why are you here?" 

"To stop you dumbass." I notice his helmet, looking like mine

"Who are you?"

???: "I'm not an idiot."

"Who built that helmet?"

???: "I'm not telling you." Ok. Time to risk everything.

"My name is John Thomas Bryne, and I created that helmet. Your name is, Charlie Alex Bryne. You are my Biological brother." He stays silent for some time, making me question if I should've done it.

He runs to me and rips off my helmet. 

"Dude! That shit costs money you know!"

???: "John?" He hugs me

"And who are you?"

???: "It's me." He takes off his helmet, revealing Charlie's face

"Could we get these zip ties off me?" He unties me 

While Charlie puts his helmet back on and turns off the jammer, I check the time, saying 5:45

"Oh shit... We need to go. Quick." He tosses me my helmet, which I drop and then pick back up.

Charlie: "Why?"

"You'll see."

T.P.I.R: "Good morning sir."

"Did you call anyone?"

T.P.I.R: "Yes, I called your teammates." Fucking hell... 

"Call them ASAP."

T.P.I.R: "Done." I hear someone pick up the phone

Glitch: "Where the hell are you little robot?"

"Glitch, i'm okay."

Glitch: "Don't do that, Viper!"

"T.P.I.R thought I was in trouble, don't blame the electronic twat. Where's Nokk?"

Glitch: "Nokk's busy at the camp fighting off White Masks."

"That damn hitman brought em' all didn't he?"

Glitch: "I'm heading towards the camp now."

"I'll be there with you guys soon."

Charlie: "Hi random perso-"

"T.P.I.R, hang up."

Charlie: "Dude what the fu-... Race you?"

"Eh... I'll win."

Timeskip

We get to the camp, and I won the race. Millions of gunshots can be heard from the camp. We walk to the door and walk in with our guns up. We shoot every White Mask we see. After me and Charlie break off and I go to a door and barge in. 

I get punched in the face, cracking the glass of my helmet. I fall back in shock

???: "Oh shit..." 

I get back to my feet and get ready to attack him but he falls back I recognize him as the operator 'Toxin' 

"Oh shit, i'm sorry."

Toxin: "You shouldn't be, I attacked you first."

"You're Toxin, right?"

Toxin: "Yeah."

"Ok then, follow me." 

"Charlie, get over here. I'm sending my co'ords."

Charlie: "I'm over at the front-lines."

Already? Christ

"Ok, i'll come to you then."

Timeskip

I get to the frontlines with Toxin behind me and go to the room with Glitch and Nokk.

"I found Toxin" I say as I point behind me

Nokk: "Where the hell were you?"

Toxin: "I was all the way back there."

Nokk: "What the-." she sighs

Nokk: "We've almost killed all the White Masks, only a handful are left over there." She tilts her head towards the other side of the room

"I'll go."

Nokk: "Going in head-on isn't smart Viper."

"When did I care?" I say as I move forward

I walk through the hallways, killing more White Masks. I get to the final room, a cell block. I see a few prisoners hiding, not so good though. I check every cell until I see a prisoner with a gun to his head. The White Mask walks out of the cell.

"Put the gun-"

WM: "Down?"

"Now."

WM: "Let's have a deal. You let me go and he gets to live."

I slowly lower my gun and put it down.

WM: "Pistol as well."

I put down my pistol 

"This is bullshit."

WM: "No, not really." He drops the prisoner to the ground

WM: "Turn." I don't.

WM: "I said TURN." I still don't

WM: "FUCK YOU." He runs toward me with a knife and slashes my arm. 

"Motherfu-"

He attacks me and knocks me down. 

He gets on top of me and lifts his arm up to stab me.

BANG

The White Mask falls on me and drops the knife into the floor. I push the body off of me in disgust.

"Thank you." I turn my head to see the 'Toxin' guy with a Glock 17.

Toxin: "No problem" 

Toxin reaches out his hand to help me up and I accept.

We walk back to Glitch, Nokk, and Charlie. Toxin hands the glock 17 to Glitch, and she puts it in her holster.

Timeskip

After debrief, I go to my room and open up Forza 5. Eventually it's night time and I go to my bed. I lay down and think about how Charlie is who he is now.
