 Above the San Francisco Farallon National Wildlife Refuge,August 14 11:29 A.M. Mission: Shock. Year 2029.

Falling through the sky, my squad and I. Is this it? Betrayed from within and internal wounds. In the distance we see Bloops going to the city of San Francisco passing the golden state bridge. Our comms are down, Sokoe is unconscious. Brandon is half burned from the waist down and has his suit turned up. Shelly is in a cage being taken away by the Eirian. What do I do? Do I let fate decide? Fuck no. I'm using my brain to solve this fiasco.

"Sokoe!!!", i scream out of pain, but not physical pain, mental pain. I let my own team down and now we all suffer.

"Captain.... are you okay? Our comms is down and I legit can't feel nothing down there" says Brandon.

"B, you will be alright, this is just an unsuccessful mission, San Francisco has fallen, i repeat, San Francisco has fallen" as I say this I witness the calamity of the Eirians consuming the San Francisco Bay and city. "Shell.... Shelly has been taken", I state in a depressing tone.

Sokoe is still unconscious. I stop feeling the air around me, i see a memory in the distance. My good friend and partner, Timothy, who is a scientist in our Headquarters invented all the devices we use to fight. I see the pencil. A portable hovercraft which needs a fluid to transform. I snap back to reality and realize i have the pencil in my pocket, i take it out and lick it. Wham! The hovercraft is here.

"Brandon, be ready for a jacky pickup, it won't be as safe as that picnic we had" I say with an uproarious scream.

"Sir, where is Sokoe?!!!" screams Brandon as he falls through the sky. His eyes widen as he sees the Bloop consuming the city. The skyscrapers terraforming into their damned substance, even people turning into that bad stuff.

I fly the hovercraft downwards as fast as I can towards Sokoe and pick her up. Then Brandon. I feel the grief in my heart from Shelly, the one i should have protected, i failed her. I remembered when i met her in one of my video games before the incident. She and I made a connection which lasted for years then after the incident, I changed and she changed with me.

"Guys, we are getting out of here, we've lost our aircraft carries we have to report back to HQ", I say with disappointment, Sokoe is shivering and Brandon looks depressed.

"Timothy, be ready for us to arrive. We need our Heike's", but I forgot that comms are down so now I look like an idiot.

"Captain, did u not hear? Our freaking comms are down", says Brandon.

"I know I know, I kind of forgot haha. Anyways we need to regroup and strategize a rescue mission for Shelly", I state with certainty.

I fly the hovercraft through the sky and it ripples through clouds as a hurricane. It's lighting speed and movability makes it easy to fly that even a kid who used to play Jenga could fly this. We pass the Californian state check, i see in the distance the beautiful desert of Arizona. We move up north and see the Prescott National Forest.

"Anoixe pýli", i state. My voice is a recognizable command for our headquarters inside the mountain. A holographic screen flickers and we enter. We see fires and teared up tools. We land on the aircraft hangar. I knew i should have not opened up to the SMU. And now they have sabotaged our HQ and have taken our crew mates and students to use in their own army.

"Timothy? Are u there? TIMOTHY!!", I scream with being worried for my dearest friend.

"Pig? Is that u I hear my dear sir, fam we've been hit from within. Those pesky SMU soldiers torn everything up in my lab", says Timothy coming out of a doorway which is hidden with a wall. "I have the mission report here sir. I'm sorry about Shelly but we have to plan for the next attack, we cannot partake in a rescue mission not with all of our equipment being garbage like those pesky Widowmaker mains."
