Meet Me On The Battlefield

''No time for rest

No pillow for my head

Nowhere to run from this

No way to forget''

''Around the shadows creep

Like friends, they cover me

Just wanna lay me down and finally

Try to get some sleep..''

What he was now and where was his world...

It wasn't the day he remembered fighting the finale battle with the Gua. And this place definitely wasn't Eddie's trailer or whatever room of a dangy motel he had snuck in. No, this was the furthest from those places it could be and possibly worst was that he had no memory of getting there nor what had happened during the battle. Did they loose? Or maybe win?

"Remember what we're fighting for..."

Suddenly there was sharp pain in his right leg. The knee he at first didn't even notice being in a brace was getting the pain level up. He looked at it wondering why he'd be having pain and what he did to his leg now.

"Echoes of the shots ring out..."

He looked around one more time suddenly noticing hair that was usually short now spreading down his shoulders and looking halfway towards full dreadlocks. But by the touch he managed to slip to his chin from hands loosely shackled to the bed he was laying in somebody had shaved his face at least, even if leaving his hair alone. Things just didn't make sense these days.

"Meet me on the battlefield

Even on the darkest night..."

Slowly as the man took in his surroundings the background noise begun to pierce through the shock layer. There was now one truly annoying beeping and next to that a whooshing sound .

Now that he was believing his brain had finally given up Cade Foster looked closer at the machines surrounding him and came to conclusion that somehow he made his way to hospital.

" We carry on through the storm

Tired soldiers in this war...."

And there were some weird new sense that took over gradually. Not that he was a stranger to senses but at the moment he was lost in it. For there to be one must mean only one... the battle was success. There would be no other explanation aside the one he refused to believe. It was only other but it was for more desperate days. Cade Foster didn't go this far only to be put back into the worst outcome. No, that was for the Gua to suffer, no humans. Denial or whatnot but the man felt adamant on not loosing his only hope for the whole humanity that was left. And he was the chosen one, the Twice Blessed Man to carry through with the plan and win the battle for once.

'' Echoes of the shots ring out

We may be the first to fall

Everything could stay the same

Or we could change it all...''

Cade Foster had come this far not to loose a battle. No, he was there to kick the alien asses and get back his civilian life he long ago used to love enough to give up the dark side of himself. He became a changed man. Only to come the alien race upon the Earth and kill every single thing he wanted to not change.

But right at the moment he didn't know how he felt about anything...

''We're standing face-to-face
