EO3CB

Agent John and his new buddy JTF officer Lamar walk into the BOO. The mood of the place is very somber, word of their defeated plan and eventual loss of Rogue Agent Disavowed Torrex had already made it back to the others. John stops and takes a look around hoping to find at least one familiar face. Lamar stood by his side wondering what to do next himself. John turns to Lamar and asks “want to go for a walk? It’s a little too stuffy in here for me.” “Sure. Where to?” replied Lamar. Agent John did an about face and marched right out of there. Lamar following close behind. 

As they walked up the street from the BOO John was overwhelmed with emotion. He missed his daughter Grace, he missed his wife Christine but still very upset he failed the team earlier. “You have any kids?” asked John. “No sir. I joined JTF right after the dollar Flu hit, it was my senior year of High School”.  Agent John pulls out a locket from his inside jacket pocket, he stares at his family for a brief moment as they walk. Lamar looks ahead and notices a group of Riker gang members patrolling the street ahead they deemed “Their Turf”. Lamar pulls Agent John down into cover behind an abandoned SUV. Agent John realizing that they wandered way off course started formulating an escape route in his head. “We need to quietly turn back and hopefully these guys will not notice us”. Lamar turns abruptly in fear and knocks over an empty tin trash can. The sound of the metal hitting the concrete pavement echoed throughout the entire neighborhood off the tall buildings. The Riker gang members turn and notice the two in hiding. “RUN” Yells John.

Bullets start flying past them, the Rikers right on their heels. John pulls out his pistol and starts firing blindly behind him as he races for his life. Lamar reaches for the strap of his G36 and notices that the weapon is missing! He turns back quickly just long enough to see one of the Riker members picking it up off the ground where they were hiding behind that SUV. John looks up ahead and sees an LMB Squad patrolling the streets in front of them. John pushes Lamar to turn to the left as they race down the opposite street. The LMB members see the Rikers barreling down the street hot on the tails of Agent John and JTF Officer Lamar, so they join the Rikers in the chase. Lamar notices the two groups now chasing them, “Awe Shit! They’re working together now?” John looks ahead and sees it’s a dead end. The only thing in front of them is the large broken scaffolding built to contain the DZ. They both run up to the scaffolding and begin to climb, John hands a grenade to Lamar “Here, use this when I tell you”. John then reaches in his pack and pulls out a Seeker Mine, he pushes in the green glowing button at the top and throws it out toward the two groups of enemies. The seeker mine hits the ground and immediately start rolling toward the Rikers first. “Shit, Seeker mines take cover” Yells out one of the LMB Members. The ball jumps in the air and splits off into multiple little clusters above the Rikers and LMB. As the clusters explode the force of the blast knocks Lamar backwards and into the DZ, he drops the grenade and loses the pin. John jumps down in the DZ, grabs the grenade and throws it toward the enemies now trying to climb the scaffolding. The grenade detonates in midair next to the main support beam and the entire scaffolding starts to crumble onto itself. 

John and Lamar soon realize that although the threat of the LMB and Rikers chasing them has been neutralized, they are now stuck in the DZ and the nearest check point is over a mile away. As they start walking quietly down the street hugging the sides of the building doing their best to blend into the landscape. Lamar finally breaks the silence “I didn’t think we were going to make it back there, Thank you”. “We are not out of the woods yet kid” whispers John inviting him to keep his mouth shut while they are moving in stealth mode. They cautiously approach an intersection leading to a dark alley. John takes a quick look and doesn’t see anyone around. As he proceeds to cross the intersection, a single shot rings out and the bullet flies right past John’s nose. “Consider that a warning shot” yells out a familiar voice. Agent John’s heart starts pounding in fear, he recognizes the voice of his old friend Torex, the former agent that they just recently lost back in the DZ.  “The next shot is going right between your eyes John. No one locks me up and gets away with it”.  “Torex. Your beef is with me, let the kid go”. John yells out hoping to at least save young Lamar’s life. “You know what, honestly I would have honored your request, but I have about ten Rikers here that was promised a blood bath. You know I’m a man of my word John”. Suddenly the gang members start slowly walking out of the dark shadows of the alley. John knew they were now in serious trouble. He was the one that originally captured Torex, it was his idea to use him as bait and then eventually lose Torex again in the DZ. It seems that Karma has caught up with Agent John. They start moving in closer ever so slowly almost as if to savor the moment when they finally make their kill. All of a sudden John’s SHD tech device lights up with an incoming message, ISAAC system blares out “A NEW AGENT HAS JOINED YOUR TEAM”. A mobile cover is tossed in the air flying over John and Lamar’s head and landing right between them and the Rikers. The metallic clamps dig into the concrete and the mobile cover extends out providing cover to the two men. Then another rogue agent slams up against the mobile cover armed with two big Alejandro LMG’s. He slaps his SHD tech device to activate his Tactical Link, a huge surge of energy flows through his arms and weapons, he takes aim and unleashes the devastating power of these two weapons. Bullets start flying out faster than the eye can see, the raw power forcing the LMG’s to perform at super human speed and strength start melting the red hot barrels. The entire Alley way is covered in Bullet holes and dead bodies. Torex, the only one to survive yells “Damnit EO, What the Hell?! You almost killed me”. “Stop over exaggerating you pansy, if I wanted to kill you, it would have been a long time ago.” 

A thick fog started settling in around the area, it was getting difficult to see five feet in front of you. “Wait a minute” John says confused. “You are EO3CB? The guy we have been looking for since the start of the Dollar Flu?” EO trying to expedite their inquiries cuts off the questions from Agent John “Yeah it’s me, nice to meet you, now we have to go. Phoenix needs to talk to you about something important.” John doesn’t want to go anywhere with these two killers, he positions himself between them and Lamar as if he would try to shield him if they start shooting. “Look, with that much noise someone is bound to have heard it. Torex and I will protect you on the way to see Phoenix”. “What?” Torex exclaims almost spitting up his drink. “I am not protecting these bastards. Do you not remember what they did to me?” “Come on Torex, like you didn’t have it coming. I gave my word to Phoenix, anything happens to them, I will kill you myself.”  Torex storms off toward the end of the street in protest. “Alright fine, why aren’t we moving yet?” “We are waiting for backup” says EO. “They should be here any second now”.

Suddenly in the distance John sees two shadowy figures walking towards them. A twisted laughter fills the air as the two get closer. One was swinging a chain around his head, occasionally smacking himself with it on purpose just to see which one of the two would laugh first, the other was wearing a mask shaped like a Moose. “What the Hell is that? This is your backup” John asks as he stares at the two approaching laughing hyenas. EO looks over his shoulder and shakes his head “The one with the chain is Knuckles, the other is Moose. Think of them as your spiritual guide.” As soon as the two are in full view from the fog Moose yells out “Entrance pose!” and they both stop and pose like rock stars about to hit the stage for their final performance. Torex walks up from behind Lamar and says “I hope you brought a big bag of sanity pills cause it’s about to get weird.”
