SEQUEL (Working title)

Back To Square One


[Narration (fade in black): Raz has been slain. A new chapter has dawned another era. SOLDIER has slain one of their top leaders. They start to fall apart as they continue their downfall at the hands of Jeffrey, their nemesis. A savior is needed to save them from the clutches of the renegades. Time is running out. Someone has to make haste before all hope is gone.(slowly fades back to reality)]

Two days passed after the turn of events. Raz, Beta Team's former leader, had been slain by Serez, Zeta Team's current leader at Route 409. Raz was blamed for a crime he didn't do, he just did what was right. He tried to eliminate the source because SOLDIER wouldn't bother going straight after Jeffrey and his renegade forces. He had to do it himself but sadly, he failed in his quest. Now, SOLDIER turned on him and made him look like the criminal. A fugitive on the loose, he was cornered at a certain area and exterminated him. He was just hungry for freedom, hungry for that one thing he values the most. His honor. Nicole was concerned over him so she decided to find him again but what she doesn't know is that SOLDIER already killed him.

Nicole and her Beta Team started their journey. Nicole continued to look back at the ruined SOLDIER HQ that is all but gone now.

"I... will come back. I would miss this place. I'll find Raz." Nicole said while she bowed down and wept her tears running down her face. An operative by the name of Beavis calmed her down.
"Ma'am, are you alright? Let's get moving." Beavis exclaimed as he noticed Nicole being left behind as the team moves forward.
"Oh! Don't worry, Beavis. It's nothing." Nicole immediately turned back and pretended as if she's okay.
"Let's go. We will find Raz and bring him to safety." Nicole further added as she starts to move. After awhile, she turned back for the final time and went on her way.

Beta Team continued their journey. Because the vans were destroyed, they had to walk. Beta Team wants to find their former leader, Raz at the best possible time. He greatly influenced them on handling one's honor and most importantly, protecting honor. They surely missed him that much. They didn't complain when Nicole took over because she had the leadership skills that Raz also possessed. Beta Team was in fact handled properly when Nicole took over. They couldn't be happier with how the group was managed.

While walking, their walkie talkie rang. It was from Biggs. Nicole grabbed her walkie talkie from her pocket and answered.

"SOLDIER operatives. I repeat, SOLDIER operatives. This is Biggs, founder of SOLDIER. Since our HQ was destroyed by the renegades, we need to find a new place to establish a new HQ. I want you to come over to the grand city of Thalts and we'll discuss our plans to put up a new HQ..." Biggs commanding all SOLDIER operatives to come to Thalts.
"The grand city of Thalts? It's far from here." Nicole quietly told herself. She starts to wonder how they'll get there as fast as they could.
"This is mandatory. If any of you are still alive after that devastation, please respond and inform me immediately so we can get back to you as soon as we can." Biggs continued.
"Hi. This is Nicole, Beta Team's leader. We are still alive. Some were injured and we need help to pick us up. There was no van available so we had to walk. If you could hear me, please respond. Over." Nicole responded as she worries over her team.
"Ah! Nicole! You're still alive. Please tell me where you are so we can send a van and get you through the grand city of Thalts." A happy Biggs responded. Nicole then starts to look at the road signs as they continue walking.
"Uhh. We are at... we are at Route 589. Please pick us up. Thank you. Nicole out." Nicole responded back and waits patiently for help to come in.
"We'll be coming over there. Stay where you are, Beta Team." Biggs ended. He then ordered a van to pick Beta Team from Route 589.

After the conversation, Nicole placed back her walkie talkie on her pocket. She convinced her team that help will be coming and its on its way. They stopped and took a rest. Eventually, the rescue van came and picked them up. They were so glad that they were picked up as they don't have to walk so far to get to the city. They made it to the grand city of Thalts. Thalts is the capital city of the land. The van then brought them to where Biggs is. They were brought to an old facility.

As they came out of the van, Biggs warmly greeted them and even congratulated them that they made it back. Sadly, their HQ is destroyed and it is something they'll not forget about. Beta Team then moved forward and onto the open space and met with other survivors of the tragic devastation of their beloved HQ. Biggs made an announcement.

"SOLDIER! Listen up. As some of you witnessed, our HQ has been destroyed. That HQ is hidden as secretively as possible to the government because we have no working relationship with them. Now that we are in the city, they don't know that SOLDIER currently exists. The plan to establish the HQ will still be outside the city, as much as possible, less contact with the military force of the government for we don't want to interfere in their services. This facility will serve as a temporary base. There aren't that much supplies out here so we'll grab our supplies within the city for now." Biggs announced as everyone turns to listen attentively. Serez then stood up.
"Master, what happens to the missions?" A curious Serez asked. He immediately sat down afterwards.
"We would still have missions. We can't stay long in the city, they'll start to question us." Biggs answered quickly.
"Master, how about the invasion of the renegades? They'll alert the city." Beavis asked as he worries about the safety of the city.
"We need to defend this at all costs, if it means that SOLDIER alerted their presence." Biggs answered.

Nicole stood up. She raised up her submachine gun and looked on everyone. On the corner, a disgusted Serez looks at her with hatred.

"Master, the renegades will continue to advance at other villages if we don't make haste. It might be late if we sit back." Nicole asked humbly.
"Don't worry, we shall get there. For now, we'll bolster our numbers and prepare additional forces." Biggs answered. Serez stood up again.
"Oh look. Nicole made it out. I thought you won't make it out there alive." A boastful Serez interrupted as he looks at Nicole with such disgust.
"So, Serez. You left us out there to fend the monsters ourselves. You're a coward!" Nicole remarked as she gets mad at Serez.
"I'm not. I had a mission to attend to. My priority was moving Biggs out in a safe place while you do your jobs holding your ground and kill the intruders. After that, I still had another mission to do." Serez angrily explained as he says his side.
"And what was that?" Nicole asked.
"We killed Raz for his treacherous betrayal under SOLDIER's name. His body is at Route 409." Serez responded back.
"What!? I told you it was a misunderstanding! You're insane." A surprised Nicole remarked.
"It was a must. Don't tell me you're protecting him?" Biggs asked out of the blue. Nicole was surprised and paused for a moment before answering.
"Umm... no. I'm not." Nicole exclaimed hesitantly. Serez sat down once again.
"Good. For now, we'll all have a vacation. Nicole, have your vacation now. You have to calm down." Biggs commanded as everyone stood up and went home.

Nicole was silent afterwards. Instead of having the vacation, Nicole asked Beavis to go with her and find Raz at Route 409. Beavis agreed and the two went on their own voyage. They left the facility unnoticed so that Biggs and Serez wouldn't know that they left the city to search for Raz.
