COD: The First One's Story

Chapter 21: Pointless Branching

9 Zeta Realm (iOS Zombies)

The Zeta Realm diverged from the Alpha Realm sometime in the 20th Century. In 1945, Marines fought zombies at Verrückt. When Doctor Edward Richtofen killed Doctor Peter McCain, he buried him in a grave in Shi No Numa instead of hanging him. Tank Dempsey, Nikolai Belinski, Takeo Masaki, and Richtofen, the four test Subjects, fought zombies in Shi No Numa and Der Riese before teleporting to Kino der Toten in 1969. While at Kino der Toten, they met a Marine named Rook. Tank tried to teach Rook how to fight zombies, but Rook became infected and turned into a zombie. Tank had to kill him. The Subjects fought zombies in Kino der Toten and then teleported to Ascension in 1962. They fought zombies there and then teleported to the shooting of Call of the Dead: Director's Cut in 2011. The Subjects fought zombies there, as the Actors had either run off or were already killed. Then they teleported back in time to World War II. Richtofen went alone to the site of Nacht der Untoten, but he became infected and turned into a zombie. The Marines there had to kill him.

10 Eta Realm (DS Zombies)

The Eta Realm diverged from the Gamma Realm sometime in the 20th Century. Four locations were overrun by red-eyed zombies and H*llhounds in the late 1960's. Sergeant Michael Shaw, a CIA operative, and Sergeant Yuri Raslov, a Soviet defector, worked together to fight zombies at the Battles of House, Facility, Temple, and Overlook.

11 Theta Realm (Dr. Monty's Factory)

The First One decided to use one of the realms to manufacture Perks-A-Cola to better supply warriors in zombie battles throughout the realms. It had absolutely no problem with stealing the inventions of Group 935 in other realms and marketing them as its own invention. It decided to create the pseudonym Dr. Monty to sell its products. Monty orchestrated events in the Theta Realm until eventually Dr. Monty's Factory was developed. Monty plagiarized the Alpha Realm's Group 935's Juggernog, Speed Cola, Double-Tap Root Beer, and Quick Revive, the original Perks-A-Cola. Monty also plagiarized two other Perks-A-Cola from other realms. Monty stole Electric Cherry from someone in the Kappa Realm and Widow's Wine from Division 9 in the Nu Realm. Monty invented some flavors of Perks-A-Cola himself, including Stamin-Up, PhD Flopper, Deadshot Daiquiri, Mule Kick, Double-Tap Root Beer II, Tombstone Soda, Who's Who, and Vulture-Aid Elixir. The tradition of the catchy jingles continued, and the reverse engineered Pack-A-Punch was also distributed.

Dr. Monty plagiarized Newton's Cookbook to mass produce GobbleGum gumballs in his factory using Liquid Divinium. GobbleGums came in many varieties, including Alchemical Antithesis, Always Done Swiftly, Anywhere But Here!, Armamental Accomplishment, Arms Grace, Arsenal Accelerator, Coagulant, Danger Closest, Firing on All Cylinders, Impatient, In Plain Sight, Lucky Crit, Newtonian Negation, Now You See Me, Projectile Vomiting, Stock Option, and Sword Flay. Monty also produced a rarer variety called Mega Gumballs, with varieties such as Aftertaste, Bullet Boost, Burned Out, Cache Back, Crate Power, Crawl Space, Dead of Nuclear Winter, Disorderly Combat, Ephemeral Enhancement, Fatal Contraption, Fear in Headlights, Head Drama, I'm Feeling Lucky, Immolation Liquidation, Kill Joy, Killing Time, Licensed Contractor, Mind Blown, Near Death Experience, On the House, Perkaholic, Phoenix Up, Pop Shocks, Profit Sharing, Respin Cycle, Round Robbin', Secret Shopper, Self Medication, Shopping Free, Slaughter Slide, Temporal Gift, Unbearable, Undead Man Walking, Unquenchable, Wall Power, and Who's Keeping Score? Monty created promotional offers to exchange his products for any Liquid Divinium that anyone could provide, and he distributed Newton's Cookbook for homemade distillation of GobbleGums.

12 Iota Realm (One Arm)

The Iota Realm diverged from the Alpha Realm sometime early in human history. Some type of evolutionary change or mutation resulted in all human beings only having one arm. Despite this, in the 1940's, Tank Dempsey still earned the world record for the most consecutive one-armed push-ups.
