The Legion Commander Strikes Back

Although Armoria was holding its own in the war, they did suffer some casualties as well. And unfortunately, Ivary had resorted to using biohazards as a weapon.It was rumored that they had some of the best virologists engineer new strains of viruses that were so dangerous, no one could survive once infected. Armoria was even put in a state of emergency because of this. Among those man made strains was the one that caused Omnipox. A lethal acute respiratory disease that kills within a matter of days, and Skyler Vanguard had come down with it.Elizabeth stood in the sterile white hallway of the hospital, her eyes red and puffy from crying all night. Even now, she was still crying, with her shawl wrapped around her.She watched her daughter through the glass, she wasn't allowed into the hospital room since it was a contagious disease.From the corner of her eyes she saw the doctor approaching and she quickly rushed up to him. “Doctor, please how's my daughter doing?” Elizabeth begged,

Ethan decided to fly the plane himself, and he was almost pushing the speed limits of the vessel. A trip that was supposed to take three good hours was taking them about an hour and some minutes.His assistant along with his lieutenants who had to come with him were on edge. They couldn't tell the commander to slow down, but the speeds at which they were flying was very concerning. Finally he could see the golden airport lights from the distance and had began to slow down. It was almost midnight and he was at Newcrest international airport, dressed impeccably in a navy blue suit. He made his way through the VIP section, and his three lieutenants followed behind him along with his assistant.They burst out of the airport and a sleek black SUV was already waiting for them outside. When he got into the car, he was so much in a hurry that Lucy had not yet gotten into the car when he instructed the driver to move. He didn't even realize that she was still outside. And those that did,

Darren Hart was attending a press conference in the international trade center with several world leaders and other renowned medical practitioners. They were addressing the issue of Omnipox and how to bring its spread to an end, especially in this part of the world where it was becoming prevalent with high mortality rates. Darren had spent the past six months working tirelessly on a cure and he was certain that he had finally come up with the perfect drug. “Welcome, Dr. Hart, this way please,” a young woman wearing an olive suit said. Darren had just taken his seat when the sound of the door slamming against the wall resonated in the meeting room. The buzz from chattering reporters and executives hushed down as heads turned to the source of the sound. Some officers dressed in all black and holding weapons trooped into the room. It was the Dreadland legionnaires, their uniform was hard to miss. Pin drop silence fell upon the room, everyone was too scared to speak but they wer

Valerie blinked a few times, she couldn't believe her eyes. After so many years, he actually returned. When news of the explosion got to her, she accepted that he was gone. The grief from losing him however lingered with her ever since and she had given up on love, considering herself to just be unlucky because her first love died.The little time she spent with him was one of the best moments of her life. She felt a genuine connection to someone for the first time.“Ethan,” she whispered and extended her arms. Her fingers brushed his face as tears filled her eyes. Clifford, who was watching all this unfold from the corner, spoke. “Valerie, Ethan was engaged to you sister, how can you be so shameless!” He berated her.She lowered her gaze, he was saying the truth and it hurt her to admit it. She had shamelessly fallen in love with her sister's fiancé.“Keyword, was. Renée and I have nothing together and never will,” Ethan clarified.Clifford's nostrils flared as he took a step back.

Desmond paused, he knew for a fact that he wasn't expecting any guests tonight. “Who is it? Let them in.”The maid quickly left. “Who could that be?” Martha thought out loud.Some moments later, Elizabeth was standing before them. Their faces dropped and they immediately stopped eating. Jason immediately got up. “Didn't we tell you to never return?” he asked. “What? Has your stupid daughter died and now you need money for a funeral?” Desmond asked her, his voice laced with disdain. Elizabeth raised her head and swallowed, she could feel her chest tightening all over again as her memories of living here with them resurfaced.“No, I don't need your money. I came here to properly pack my things, as well as Howard, Skyler and Ethan's things.” she said. “Some of them hold sentimental value, though I doubt that you people know anything about sentimentality.”Jason and Martha exchanged an incredulous glare after she made her statement. Desmond rose to his feet. “If you don't get out of t
