"Fransisco County Militia..my new people..my new home..I used to be a Wraith..the ones i once called my servants are now my comrades..i still dont know what happened to Cain..i miss him sometimes,Oh well,he viewed caution and care as weakness..he probably wouldn't care if it was me who died."
Tommy,now Corporal Winchester sat in a transport truck,he put his journal away as he stared at the lumber mill they were driving towards
"40 Wraiths are camped up there,our job is to clear them out,there are 15 of us but with our superior weaponry and training we can take em out,just stick with eachother and we'll all make it through boys and girls" The squadron's sergeant spoke to them as he held up his M16 Rifle
Tommy put his helmet over his balaclava,putting his goggles on
"Got it.."
The Truck stopped as the Militiamen got out
"Wizard Peak looks small from here" one of the Militiamen spoke
"Sharpshooters get up on the hills." The Sergeant spoke making hand signals while doing so
A few of the soldiers ran off
Tommy followed the rest of the soldiers to the Lumber Mill
"Have you heard of that growing..Commonwealth,Sarge?"
"Yes private..they've made quite a name for themselves..they're a pretty hostile bunch..we tried making contact and they told us to go fuck ourselves.."
"Where'd you learn that from sarge?"
"A meeting,private..thats all you're getting."
"Yes sir."
They got to the lumber mill as one of the militiamen took out a grenade launcher and loaded a few 40mm grenade rounds into it before firing them into the gate
"FIRE IN THE HOLE!!" The wooden gate blew up as a few smoke grenades were thrown in
The militiamen ran in and immediately took cover as Tommy was trying to get his M16 off of his pack
"Fuck! Fuck!" A pipe bomb fell beneath his feet as he jumped out off the way
"SHIT!!" It blew up knocking him a few feet away
The Sergeant came up behind him and pulled him up
"GET UP PRIVATE WINCHESTER!! WE NEED TO GET THESE WRAITHS OUT OF THE LUMBER MILL!"
A Militiaman in the background threw a molotov cocktail into a wraith watchtower
"YEAH YEAH!..I HEAR YOU!.." He finally yanked his M16 off of his pack and ran in alongside the sergeant
A Militiaman in front of him got tackled down by a wraith
This wraith was alot bigger than the others,the Militiaman pulled out his machete and slammed it into the wraith's neck
"ACKKKK!!" The wraith didn't let go as Tommy came up behind and jumped on the wraith,he pulled his M16 up and unloaded it into the Wraith's skull
"CHRIST!!..THANKS WINCHESTER!!..FUCKING WRAITH BASTARDS!" The Militiaman felt his neck
"Yeah..you're welcome.."
Tommy looked at the Wraith's armband..it was the same one he'd been wearing not too long ago
He started getting shot at,a bullet grazed his foot as he dropped down and rolled into cover as the Militiaman he was with fired back
"THERE'S MULTIPLE OF THEM!!..CMON WINCHESTER!"
He picked Tommy up off of the ground as he handed Tommy back his rifle
Tommy loaded it up with a new magazine and shakily rose it up before opening fire,he hit one wraith square in the head as the Militiaman took out two,he moved through the narrow space as Tommy crawled from behind
A wraith with a wrench in his hands came in running
"MILITIA SCUM!!"
He slammed the wrench against the Militiaman's skull,sending him against the wall right in front of Tommy
"OH SHIT!!..
The Militiaman screamed in pain as he held his head
Tommy got up and immediately got his rifle knocked out of his hands by the Wraith
"CRAP!!—" He could barely form another thought before getting thrown to the ground
As Tommy was just about to get stomped down by the Wraith,a sweeper came in just in time to save him
He blew two slugs straight into the wraith's skull as the rest of the raiders ran
"SWEEPER!! SWEEPER!"
"CORPORAL ORLAND IS INJURED!! WINCHESTER YOU NEED TO GET HIM BACK TO THE GATES WHERE THE MEDIC IS!!"
"Fuck..fuck..OKAY..where's my rifle!?.."
The Sweeper took Tommy's rifle and handed it to him before running off to go back into the fight
Tommy got up as he slowly picked up Corporal Orland..he was fading in and out of consciousness due to the powerful blow of the wrench
"Winchester..i..cant feel my face.."
Tommy ignored Orland as he started pulling him through the Lumber Mill
Wraiths fell around them as Militiamen pushed in,just before he got through the gate a Wraith pulled him back
"AHH!.." he dropped Orland on the ground,leaving Orland groaning in pain as the Wraith pointed his revolver at Tommy
"..Tommy!?..is that you?.." The Wraith looked at Tommy as he took off his helmet
"Who the fuck are you?..what the.."
He was that man..his friend..the one that coldly killed the woman..
"Merrick..F-fuck..dont kill me please.."
"..You joined up with THE MILITIA!?"
A horn blew through the air as 'Merrick' looked up
"..I'll spare you this once..but i better not see you again..traitor.." Merrick ran off as Tommy slowly got up
He let out a sigh of relief as he walked up to Orland
"Im a traitor..Im weak..I know that..i know.."
