Titanfall: The Beginning (A Militia Story) [Will be rewritten once completed]

Get Barker

(Heya, the sixth chapter is out, and we're going to Angel City! Not the best map to complete execution challenges in the second game... or I just suck.
Back to the topic, I'll add a few characters into the main story, but one of them will make an appearance for the rest of the story. So yeah, stand by for Titanfall!)

???: PILOTS, THIS STORY AND ITS CHARACTERS ARE OWNED BY RESPAWN AND THEIR RIGHTFUL OWNERS, BUT YOUR PERSON.

(Y/N)'s POV

After the fight at Colony, everyone decides to relax in the Barracks. We listen to Braiden and John's story about their fight at the Odyssey. It was intense as ours... except that they got to fight a Stryder with a MOTHERF*CKING SWORD!!!

Cara: "So wait, you fought a Stryder Titan that can wield a sword like a badass?"

John: "Yep."

Ricktofen: "And Braiden fended off zis Titan?"

Gyro: "Bingo."

(Y/N): "Who won?"

Braiden: "Really? Fine... Shadow almost got the best of me."

Rose: "Who's Shadow?"

?????: "Shadow used to serve me and Graves before I went A.W.O.L."

We search for where the intrusive voice came from, and we see MacAllan walk towards us.

Rose: "Oh, you're that MacAllan guy, right?"

MacAllan: "I am. Back to talking about Shadow, he can be crafty. He's smart. Mysterious. His family is associated with Hammond Robotics. That's why you fought a Ronin Prototype."

Braiden: "But why does he have an interest in my skills...?"

MacAllan: "Huh... That's a first. Normally, he doesn't take interest in anyone unless a high priority target. Either to kill or make them join sides "

John: "So you're saying he wanted Braiden dead or join the IMC?"

(Flashback.)

Shadow (comms): "I'll give you credit for lasting this long, Pilot... You have the strength to become the best Pilot. Join me. Together, we can overthrow the IMC and rule the Frontier!"

(Flashback ends.)

MacAllan: "That might be the case, but Shadow doesn't work for anyone unless he has a reason or forced to..."

Gyro: "Did you know him well?"

MacAllan: "No, but he works better with Blisk or Graves and another..."

Braiden: "..."

MacAllan: "Anyway, you should head to the Hangar now. We're having a meeting about our next plan."

MacAllan gets up and leaves.

Cara: "Well, another day... another fight in hell."

John: "At least it's not an old settlement."

Braiden: "We're going to Angel City. There are more buildings than nature."

Rose: "Wait, you've been there?!"

Braiden: "Uh, yeah... That's where... uh..."

I notice Braiden's behavior quickly change to one of discomfort as the others interrogated him about Angel City. Braiden doesn't like to discuss about his past, and I'm the only one who knows about what happened there. It's still a sensitive topic for him, so I decide to bail him out. He's my best friend, after all!
