Advertisement
Jack's head was ringing from the furious explosion that knocked him back with frisk. Ashes and snow slowly fell onto his face as he was on the ground. He then felt Frisk in his arms and was relieved, though she was knocked out from the blast. The lieutenant Slowly stood up with the child in his arms, he looked around the snowy wasteland. All around were coniferous trees...it almost seemed . Jack then notices a dirt path, he begins to limp. He stops one more time and turns to look at the smoldering remains of the gate. Jack took a deep breath and began limping away from the fires of Toriel's once beautiful house, Though as he limped Jack wished he could've helped Toriel...even If he barely knew her. After a couple minutes of walking, Jack found a nice place to rest...but it had become night, he had to create a fire and fast. Jack then proceeded to put Frisk down lightly on the snow and went into the dense woods of Snowdin to find wood. Though when he was out in the foggy woods, he felt as if he was being watched from the trees, like a Predator had been spying on its prey. After Jack had this feeling, he hastily pulled some branches off from a near tree and limped back to Frisk who was still out cold. The soldier then places the twigs and branches together and places random big rocks around it. He takes out a match and throws it on the branches and twigs creating a fire. At this moment Frisk begins to wake up and rub her eyes, "You ok kid?" Jack says in a worried voice, Jack was obliviously freezing but did not show it. "Yea I'm fine, where's Mom?" She asks in a wiry voice. Jack looked at her with a stone cold face of and towards Frisk, "Your mother...there was nothing I could do." Frisk's eyes widened at this, they began to well up with tears of grief, "no...no..no no NO!" She ran into Jack's arms hitting him harmlessly on the chest, "WHY DIDNT YOU SAVE HER!" she kept on hitting the lieutenant's chest. Her weak punches began to slow as she sobbed uncontrollably. "NO NO!...No no...no...no" Her arms fell, Jack then grabbed her head gently and pressed it against his chest softly. "she wanted you to be safe." Jack said softly hugging her. Frisk was still bailing in his arms, "I want my Mom Mister Jack! I want my Mommy!" She'd continued to cry as Jack held her closer trying not to shed a single tear, "shhhh...everything's gonna be ok Frisk...Everything's gonna be ok." Jack whispered softly as he rubbed her head comfortingly. Frisk's crying then started to stop until she fell asleep in Jack's arms. Jack then laid down with Frisk close to him and the fire to keep her warm. Jack finally closed his eyes and slept.
Suddenly Jack could here the sounds of gunfire and explosions, he woke up from this to be met with the interior of a half destroyed hotel room with two broken windows and one door that most likely leads to the corridor. He stands up and notices that he was suited in a United states marine battle outfit and in his hand was a Beretta pistol, shocked by this Jack walks to one of the broken windows to see a devastated Dubai with smoke, ash and fire rising from destroyed buildings! Jack's eyes widened in shock as he backed away slowly until the one door suddenly broke off its hinges from two shotgun blasts then was kicked down! As soon as this happened one soldier in red camo with a black hand smeared on his chest and a gas mask came in pointing a shotgun at Jack. "" The red cameoed soldier yelled pointing the shotgun until his head was shot by an assault rifle from behind the broken door causing the soldiers head to splatter blood on one of the broken windows. The soldier then fell forwards onto the ground, splattering the remains of his brains on the floor! Jack looks at the soldier's body for a brief moment until another soldier in Marine battle gear with a green tarp-like mask and goggles covering his face comes into the room and walks over to Jack, "Alright, lets get up buddy!" the soldier says as he helps Jack up to his feet. "uhhh...who are you?" Jack asks genuinely confused, "Is your head screwed on right Collembine?" The soldier then takes of his Tarp-like mask and goggles to reveal a young African American male in his 20s. Jack looked at the man in shock as if he remembered him, "S..Sam?" Jack says flabbergasted. The young soldier smirks at Jack, "that Missile probably did a number an ya. Can you see clearly bud?" Sam asks as he takes two fingers and waves them in Jack's face. "I..I'm fine, tell me whats going on Sam." Jack sighs as he says those words as if accepting this situation, 'Am..am I going insane?' Jack thinks questioning himself. "Alright, but I'll only remind you once, we were sent here to drive back Black Hand forces. But it seems they found a way to one up us. So now we're up shit creek without a paddle." Sam explains looking out one of the broken windows at the and below them. The Young American soldier then walks over the dead Black hand soldier's body and picks up the owner's shotgun. Sam glares at the bewildered Jack and throws the shotgun at him, Jack catches it and looks at Sam. "In other words, welcome to ." Sam exclaims in a calm attitude as he began to walk to the broken down door. Jack follows behind to be met with a half destroyed corridor with cracks and bullet holes everywhere, suddenly the building starts to shake making both soldiers stumble and lean on the walls for support. "Lets hustle up Collembine, this buildings' about to crumble at any minute" Sam says walking a bit faster as he points his gun to the ground. Jack does the same until they find a three story spiral staircase. Both men power walk down the stairs until they reached the bottom floor which was a devastated lobby with tiles missing and cords hanging from the ceiling, the entire atmosphere of the city was covered in an ashy mist causing Jack to slightly squint his eyes. As they moved through the lobby they began to hear footsteps, "Collembine, quick get in cover!" Sam whispered to Jack as the footsteps got closer then stopped. The two American soldiers then hid behind two cylinder like pillars and waited, Jack peeked from the pillar to see a single black figure facing forward deep into the mist and was covered in a trench coat, the Figure seemed to be talking to someone or something, but Jack couldn't make it out from the thickness of the mist. The figure then finished speaking...Then it turned around and looked directly at Jack with yellow Robotic glowing eyes that pierced his soul. Jack was frozen in shock and fear, The eyes of the figure were bright enough to block out it's face. It proceeded to wave at Jack and then it glided back into the mist until its yellow glowing eyes were obscured by the ash and smoke that accompanied it. There was a short pause until Jack was shot in the shoulder by hidden machine gun fire. He fell back onto the ground and into the open as Sam ran over to him "Jesus Christ! I've got ya buddy" Sam exclaimed as he dragged him back into cover. Suddenly more bullets rained down from the mist "Holy Shit!" Sam yelled out as he finally gets into cover with Jack. Jack could feel the blood leave his shoulder from the wound. His vision was blurry and his hearing began to ring until it was at the point where he could no longer make out what was going on, he then closed his eyes. He couldn't feel anything...nothing except one sensation...

Jack's eyes darted open, he was laying in the snow with frisk in his arms and the fire in front of him. It was still night, well at least it looked like it. The soldier looked around to see if it was real, he then sighed in relief as he laid his head back down onto the pillow like snow until he heard the snap of a twig. His head rushed up in surprise at the sound. He then looked at frisk's sleeping body and sneakily got up without waking her. Jack proceeded to crouch down and take out Valaskez's knife, he slowly moved to the group of trees where the noise emitted. He quickly pushes away two branches to be met with a squirrel, It looked up at him and then ran away. Jack then sighs and puts away the knife "I'm getting too old for this shit" Jack mummers as he walks back to the fire, Jack starts to lay back down until he notices something peculiar, A red laser dot right next to the silhouette of the fire. Jack didn't know if this was his imagination or not as he stares at the red precise light. Suddenly it began to move towards Jack and frisk. Jack slowly grabs Frisk in his arms as he realizes what it was. The Soldier lays deathly still as the laser moved up his body right to his head. Without hesitation Jack rolls away from the Dot as a bullet lands in its place right into the snow. He stood up with Frisk in his arms now awake and he starts to limp away as Fast as he could. Right near the fire Two Soldiers emerged out of the snow in white Sniper gear with night-vision goggles, Their snipers were colored white with a laser attachment and a long scope on the top of the rifle. The soldiers began to chase and Fire at Jack and Frisk with strange looking Pistols! "Damn It!" Jack yells as he limps deeper into the forest becoming lost, until he sees a distant light obscured by the trees. He starts to limp towards the light until he left the forest into a desolate wasteland with only burnt trees and mine created Craters in the muddy snow, it almost looked like something from . Though Jack didn't care, the only thing he focused on was the lights from a fortress in the distance. He Limped faster until his arm was shot by one of the soldiers behind them causing Jack to fall into one of the small craters and Drop Frisk. The soldiers finally catch up to the wounded soldier and the child. One of the soldiers grab Frisk by her hair while the other soldier pointed the strange pistol to Jack's head! "J..Jack...please help m-" Frisk cried out before her mouth was held shut by one of the soldiers. "let her go!" Jack yells as he grits his teeth in pain from the gunshot wound in his arm. "Oh don't worry soldier boy, The gonna Take good care of her." says The soldier pointing the pistol at Jack's face. Suddenly the soldier holding Frisk gets shot in the head by an unknown bullet causing frisk to scream as the soldiers blood splatters on the white snow! "What the He-" the other soldier exclaims until another unknown bullet goes through his neck causing blood to spurt onto Jack's face. In shock and surprise Jack laid there for a minute until he rolled over on his stomach to see who shot the two soldiers. Jack scanned the area until out of one of the craters came a blinding light, "!" Yelled an unknown distorted voice from the crater. Jack slowly gets on his knees and puts up his arms grunting in pain as his arm bled more. What came out of the crater was a tall figure that wore a battle worn Knights helmet with a modern looking SWAT battle outfit and was holding a strange looking Assault rifle . The figure ran over to jack with it's gun pointed at him. "!" The soldier yelled to Jack as it brought the muzzle of the Assault rifle to Jack's face, Jack gitted his teeth at the feeling of the muzzle. Suddenly Frisk jumps in between The Soldier and Jack, "Leave him alone, he's been through enough...so if you want him dead you'll have to shoot me first!" Frisk yells as she outstretches her arms in front of the shocked Jack. The soldier surprisingly lowers his weapon, "F..Frisk?" The soldier mutters as it looks down at the child. "H..How do you know my name? Who are you?" Frisk asks surprised at the strangers knowledge of her name causing her to back up into Jack's body. The soldier then takes of the helmet to reveal a Human skull with a scar down his eye socket.
