It has been 6 years since mars began their invasion of earth, They began by bombing all major cities and government buildings before they brought their ships down and began building cities of their own.

I hold my breathe and lay down in the ditch as a patrol on speeders pass by looking for any slaves that may have escaped, I think they know about the invasion plan but I just dont know how.

I stand up and dash across the old broken road and into what remained of a house and duck inside "I am moving behind schedule.... If I want to get there before the invasion begins I need to take out the next speeder patrol" I say with a sigh as I hear another squad racing down the road, I take my suppressed AR-15 from around my neck and turn the safety off, I stand next to the door frame and peek my head out and see the patrol closing in, I aim my AR at them and look through my scope and I rest my seights on the lead speeder and hold my breathe and slam the trigger back hitting him in the head causing his speeder to stop as he falls off the back knocking the rider of the speeder behind him off, I smiled happily as they tumbled and rolled on the road as the other speeders all came to a complete stop I knew I had them, Quickly I began shooting one after another before they could realise what happened and soon they were all dead. I wrapped my AR's band around my neck and threw it behind me and looked around seeing nothing but remains of houses but not enough to consider rubble, I ran out the doorway and dashed as fast as I could towards the speeders and jumped on the closest one and sat down smiling as I stared at the beautiful white vehicle that resembled a motorcycle but before I could admire anything more I heard the sound of the speeder patrol that had pased only moments before, I turned off the automatic brake and spun around towards the MAR outpost and sped off gliding over the other speeders and lifeless corpses, The guard that fell off sat up as I rode at him and hit him in the skull killing him with a loud and spine chilling thud as his blood covered the front of the speeder. I raced down what remained of a massive city towards a massive white compound that produced so much smoke that the air around was still and made it difficult to breathe, I reached in my shirt and pulled up my breathing modulator and bit onto the hose and pressed it against my mouth and began to breathe heavily allowing the fan inside to kick on and start filtering the air "The MAR'S may be scumbags but they make great equipment" I thought to myself as I neared the gates of the compound and stared in awe as the massive walls stood so high that a skyscraper was a mere flea in comparrison merged with the water, I heard the sounds of a aircraft carrier that the martians called the MX-T75 started up and set sail before lifting off of the water and flying off to somewhere on the opposite side of the compound.

                (Flashback)

I sped across the ocean on the speeder that I had just stolen, I was being chased by 34 other speeders who were firing at me and I did my best to dodge but I was helpless, I had a shard of one of the aircraft carriers in my leg and it was useless as it flawled about at the high speeds, my right engine had taken a shot and was sputtering,My mechanical arm had been badly damaged and my right shoulder had taken a beating in a fight with a few soldiers when I had defended the aircraft carrier from them as they had come from the aircraft carrier on speeders, I had sucesfully defended the aircraft carrier and gotten on the speeder and raced off knowing all of the access soldiers would chase me down for fear the rebels would get this technoligy "GOD DAMN IT...... GOD DAMN IT..... WHY DID THAT THING HAVE TO SHOW UP..... IF THAT AIRCRAFT CARRIER HADNT SOMEHOW FLOWN IN WE WOULD HAVE TAKEN THAT COMPOUND......... FUCK..... FUCK.....FUCK..... 6 AIRCRAFT CARRIERS DOWN........ WE ONLY HAVE 2 LEFT..... WHAT THE FUCK CAN A RESISTANCE DO WITH ONLY 2 AIRCRAFT CARRIERS..... GOD DAMN IT ..... THIS MISSION WAS A FAIL... AND NOW I AM GOING TO DIE" I screamed as the barage of blaster bolts flew around me, I sighed and stopped the speeder and faced them if I was going to die I was going to take as many of them as I could, I looked around for the firing mechanism and found it and just before I could speed towards them a submarine emerged infront of me and I heard gunfire, I pulled out my handgun and shouted in pain as I lifted my right arm and took aim at the submarine waiting for a martian to peek his head out so I could take it off, I waited for a few seconds before a rebelion flag was hung around the corner followed by a man in a grey fluffy coat with slick black hair and a beard peeked his head out, I lowered my gun and smiled as several armed resistance members came onto the top of the submarine, I smiled knowing my work was done and felt my eyes fall to the back of my head followed by the sound of a splash as I fell into the water unconchious "maybe I'll drown.... Maybe I will die and meet mother and maybe randy will be able to smile again ..... Maybe the burdon I am will lift once I am gone....." I thought to myself, I knew randy blamed himself for my losing my arm, Since that day he hadn't smiled or laughed, he was emotionless unless I was in the room, then he would just sink down into self blame and hatred, truthfully I dont mind losing my arm, Yes getting use to the mechanical arm was a challenge that took me 3 years to learn and cope with the pain but I am helpful now, I can lift over 900 pounds with it, I can fire shots with 120% accuracy and I find it pretty cool. I remember waking up on that ship and how the second I woke I began to scream in agony, so loud that I found out the other side of the ship heard it, but after several hours of doctors giving me injection after injection of pain medications they found one that worked, I later found out that when dad had went to go get mom the building she worked in collapsed when dad was 5 block away the force of it would have killed everyone on the next three blocks, If mom had survived she would have died soon after because as we left the city limits the martian ship slammed into it and vaporised everything and even threw the truck and dad and randy carried me another 47 miles to dads work building that was empty but I guess dad went to the garage and got his work truck to meet up at the secret docks for the aircraft carriers for the Earth Defence Force or EDF for short, I was immediately taken to the medical bay but I flatlined on the table but I was brought back, I was given the most advanced cybernetic arm that was created, truly one of its kind, It was designed to attach onto the nerves of the lost arm and slowly drill its way into the nervisystem for the arm and act like a normal arm, my mother had created it and given it to the ship to decorate the medical bay but the captin found it would be better for me to have. I had woken up in the submarine several days after the failed mission and was given a debreif of the mission, It was deemed a failure, I had found out that my brother randy had died in the onslaught led by ground of the very same facility that we were attempting to take now, 7 months later, I had been told that the entirety of our ground forces were wiped out within minuites of the attack, I had sucesfully defended the airship carrier I was on and it had escaped in near critical condition but only 200 of its crew had perished, I was told that If I had not taken the speeder then the last 2 aircraft carriers we owned would have been overrun, But when I did it gave them enough time into the dense fog that the compound gave off from creating the         MX-T75's, we had gone in blindly and it had costed us over 70 thousand men in the rebelion which was 70%, The higher ups said that their sacrafice had given us information of what the martians firepower was, They sacraficed 70 thousand men to find out that our weapons left no more than a scratch on the walls of a high ranking compound and that the martians had aircraft carriers that not only travveled by sea but by land and air as well, two days later the higher ups were cast out and killed by their own guards and my father along with 10 other people were given the position of the higher ups with my father being placed as the head of state which meant he was in charge of everything.
