《The Final Light》Chapter 15: The Storm That Is Coming For Light
Advertisement
After the close call to being shot to death by our own men we were all helped out of the tunnel network and told what is going on, the reinforcements from main HQ have arrived so we can now begin the second part of the plan, with that as well I passed a letter from someone saying it was from Jackson, if he want information to come to me this secretly it is important just like the other letter he had sent me. I take the letter and dismisses him. I walk to the command centre where no one should be and open the letter to see the contents.
HCC, Jackson
If this letter has found you Thorn we will need to talk when you get back to HQ as the situation in main sector has been chaotic at this time as the new uprising I last told you about has finally got the eyes of the prime minister, once you have returned they want you and your team to deal with them which I have to comply to as I don’t have the power to reject the proposal.
There is also one other thing I want you to know after the uprising is delt with the military is going to launch an operation against the government or a coup I should say, the reason why am I telling you this is that the government after you deal with the uprising has given the science division of the government full rights to you, A.K.A you will become there personal lab rat as they have found something in your brain that can communicate with mutants and Aku-no and by what I have heard from spies in the diversion it is fairly new and in its infant stages of development, whatever that means.
Be careful from now on.
Well, that is quite worrying, when I get back it is going to be hectic as all hell a coup, dealing with an uprising what going to be next a kidnapping of someone I know, I should not say that as that may have already happened if so I got to be careful About how I do things in that mission. I sit down in a chair that is nearby grab and lighter and set the letter on fire I should have done that to the other letter but that one may have gone into the wastelands of the outside maybe.

With that read and no evidence left behind of said letter I head back down to the main area of the FOB where all the soldiers are gathered waiting for orders, so I step to high place, A.K.A a stool, and take a deep breath.
“Soldiers of last light, we are here to takeback land, we are no longer on defence, we will reclaim our homes, and further on other homes as well, we will reclaim the sectors from the Aku-no and move forward to claim the earth once more so we can let our future generations live in a world that is not a dome or sector they will live in the outside and be free!!!”
After the speech the men were letting out cheers the roared through out the FOB knowing that one day we will have a freedom to live outside and not trapped by fear of what is out there, after a while they all quieted down to hear more of what I have to say.
“We will start operations tomorrow at 0800 hours, get some rest and get used to the base where you live or the next I say 1 to 3 months got it” they all straighten up, salute and yell “yes sir” from there they all head out to rest up for the upcoming operation that I have talked about so often about, now it may be happening sooner than I thought.
But I rather focus on the main thing that is going on, that is that this may be used to cover up something the government did and just want to hide but I guess that is me being affected by recent events that is happening so maybe not but I just have an odd feeling about this and the Aku-no.
“So, it is quite stress full being a commander is it not Richard” Said Kimber from behind me “yeah it is, I kinnda hate and find it funny how I am here but the one thing I don’t understand is that why I got this position and not you or someone else” I can hear Kimber trying to say something but he seems to not form the words as he can’t seem to find what words he would want to use “I really don’t think I am fit for this role to command 100 units of people, I don’t know if I could do that” before I could continue Kimber places his hand on my shoulder “Rich if I were you and you did not get the position I would think that military high command is full of irresponsible men pretending to commanders but you have the talent to do this if I am honest I have seen people in same position as you and not do as good as you have, so please can you trust what a certain me with what I have to say?” I look to my shoulder seeing his hand griping tight, he really means it, all I can hear at this moment is what happened when I first got here in the military, the death, the screams, and blood, I want to believe him but if I were to have talent to command then why did they all die but me “thank you Kimber for your words”

With that his grip loosens on my shoulder, I don’t wish for my team to end up like those when I first got here so I have to treat this like a family so the men and women in this team don’t have to go through the pain of what I had to with the people of my first team I was in, this will be the family that I could never had before I guess.
I straighten up turn around and walk pass Kimber and soon follows suit behind me towards the commanders post and so me and him will now plan out how we are going to do this operation as at the moment the Aku-no have been eerily out of sight and not that active, I don’t like it they may be trying to attack another sector but I find that risky with us in the same sector as them at this time. As we enter the room I see the rest of the command squad and other unit leaders in the room sitting there in wonder of what to do.
“Lich get me a map of the sector and another one with geography on it no buildings” Lich gets up and heads to another room connected to this one and comes back lays it on the table that we are using, before I ask for markers or figures Jones drops off them off then Winters hands me reports of ammo and equipment then the other UTC, passes me some of the info of equipment and ammo and available personnel at his command, and so do I with what information we have on the behaviour and patterns they display, and this was all done with one sentence said by me.
“Now we are here on the map and we have found some place with recon done earlier in the operation when we were inserted and along with that we also scavenged for some other helpful stuff for the planning of phase 2 while we were here” “I see, high command had given me some high quality scans done in real time and other scans of escape and supply tunnels to locations of the sector” “ok mind if we have those brought here so we can use them along with the maps of the tunnel network as they could be used heavily for what I want to see will work” “Sure I will have someone grab the maps now so they can be brought here now and what do you have in mind for this plan of yours I want to hear it as HCC, Jackson speaks highly of you so I have high hopes to” “well it may be a hard one to do but I think it can be done, so what I have planned goes along the lines of teenage mutant ninja turtles, have you seen the show?” “Yes, yes I have I think I know where you are going with this now and it may work with what info we have at the moment in my opinion” “well let’s get to planning more about our recreation about it yea”
??????????’s POV:
Now what will happen now things in the city are getting out of hand at the moment the prime mister of the city as well is not obeying any orders that I give him as it is he going rouge, but at least I have person in the high command of the military although it was hard I can still believe in them to do what I need to do, as Jackson is getting in the way of the plans and same with the uprising this Liz and the leader Jacob need to go as they know too much information to compromise us, and one other person is on the radar of investigation or family I should say as it could be very troublesome if I have a Pure blood Thorn in the city.

The Merchant Prince Book 1: Returning Home
Enter a world of deceit and assassins. Augustus DeCastellian is a member of a wealthy merchant family, with ports all over the known world. He is sent on a voyage to new lands to open trade routes, but when he returns he will need to fight, using his tools of manipulation and cunning, for what he is owed.Author's note: This story is somewhat slow-paced, especially in comparison to the norm on Royal Road. The first three chapters act almost as a prologue, to give you a feel for what the rest of the story will be like. So, I suggest new readers try to get to the end of chapter 3 before deciding if this story is for them.A few of my reviews have said that this story is abnormal for Royal Road. I agree with that sentiment, at least based on what I've read on the site. It was just an idea that was in my head, that I began trying to write once my hobbies were cancelled due to the virus. I found Royal Road after I started writing it. Honestly, it's probably not even tailored for the web-novel format. But it's the story I wanted to tell. Discord: https://discord.gg/sk63gep

Kingdom of Tyr (Original)
This fiction has been concluded as of the end of Book 1, the portion of the story posted here. There will be a complete rewrite as a separate fiction in the future to make the system more consistent and add more to the world while expanding on the events within this fiction. This rewrite will begin eventually, posted as a separate story. Colt, twelve, is walking home from school when he's approached by another boy dressed oddly, who asks him - theoretically - about living in another world. After asking some information about the theoretical other world, Colt says he'd probably prefer to live there, to get away from the problems he has on Earth. Once Colt confirms that, he finds himself in an abandoned city, the other boy revealing himself to be a god, who then offers to train Colt until he can stand on his own and live by himself. After a couple of months, the god sends Colt off for greater training, to learn to use both Aura and Mana, with his only instructions being to return every now and then to visit, and to make friends and have lots of fun. This story follows Colt, a boy named Tyler he meets in the new city, and their journey to growing stronger, having fun, and striving to beat each other. Note: this story is not intended to be professional-quality, and it does draw inspiration from many sources. That said, it is its own story, in its own world. It has never been and never will be edited. It will also have multiple PoV's, starting somewhere after Chapter 8.
