Page 4 of SORROW

reality

  All of sudden, she's losing her concentration

  Cannot let her sorrow take over her mind and slow her down

  Ellie wants Angela to make an attack on Vanzinia

  She knows they can attack again if they still have some forces in the town

  Angela doesn't need any assistance

  Nothing but great confidence in her lone wolf style

  Crash the Party (Mission IV)

  In the night she sprint, equipping with her X-86 and

  A HS5H Rocket Launcher, a gift from one of her allied troops

  Capable of destroying a tank in two shots

  Destructive and drastically menacing in close quarters

  Each rocket is shot; another one has to be reloaded

  As she looks through the bushes and trees-concealed

  Two towers, each with two snipers

  Karma in effect

  While she is in sniper range

  She has the confidence to be able to get through the entrance

  She pulls out her HS5H; she shoots a rocket right at the right tower

  Quickly speed boost to the left tower

  The snipers can't line their shots to her miraculously, quick movement speed

  She throws a grenade at the tower, before they can leave

  She sprint all her way to find any moving target

  Not a single soul she can find

  Proceeding her way to The Pendulum-a well-known nightclub of Vanzinia

  She can hear the loud thumping music, they have to be there

  Both from the club and it seems to be outside from a radio

  The Pendulum is a gargantuan place

  Inside the place will lead the person into three areas

  One is the swimming pool, second is the mini motel, and the third is the nightclub

  The Pendulum's slogan doesn't lie: "We Bring Satisfaction for Everyone!"

  Surrounded by the tall and delicate buildings

  Every building she saw, all had their colors

  Teal, yellow, white, and orange lights sparkling through the windows

  She has never experienced such beauty in any city

  Her immersions grows with the sad and deep trance music playing

  Making her realize, its elegance won’t last forever

  She continues her way to the left on the road

  Using that music has her guide to her destination

  Three guards are there, walking around the club

  All off focused, listening to their music

  Angela, stealthily walking next to a building towards the club

  Hugging her back to the wall, using ninja footsteps on the sidewalk

  She pops out; empty a couple of rounds at one of the suspicious guards

  The two on the right and left around the door, firing back

  Without any concerns of damage, she quickly blinks to the left guard

  Stabs him with no remorse, and shuts off the radio

  Entering the club, her rifle is loaded

  Not many guards are hanging around on the swimming deck

  Off duty like the ones outside

  Careless, free from action, relaxing

  She opens the door, shoot anybody she can see

  Gets two of them on the left side sitting on their chairs

  The one on the right, fires back with the intention to run

  Two more goes up from the floor, supporting the frantic criminal

  Angela moves with such swift movement, they can't dare to precisely shoot her

  She finishes three of them before reloading her new magazine

  With no more in her view, she moves on

  She can hear the thumping sound of techno music

  Getting louder as she gets closer to the door

  Opens the door, a visual of beautiful, glowing, blue lights on the dance floor

  Flashing around the bulky dance floor

  But the main attraction is the disco ball

  The rotation of the ball brings the club to life

  Ellie is astonished by its artistry

  While on the second level, designed as an upward half-hexagon

  The middle is for speculation and the sides are the stairs to the dance floor

  She sees many Bloodhounds, dancing with women and abusing them

  The women seems to be used as their pleasure or "toy" to play with

  Dancing for these selfish people, even asking them to take off their clothes

  Before making actions, she searches for any tactical options available

  With a DJ playing music on a stage, she tries to snipe him with her rifle

  Alerting the attention of the Bloodhounds on the dance floor

  All the women are clueless of what just happened

  Bloodhound Troopers start rushing to their weapons

  Left them on the tables, left and right side

  With a couple of soldiers observing, they immediately start firing at her

  Moving down to the stairs and shooting frantically

  Chucking a grenade at the group of Bloodhounds

  There are some that are hurting, and some that are not

  Severely outnumbered and her armor is getting damaged

  The only option is to be defensive

  She can't handle the pressure, she evacuates to the swimming pool

  Waiting patiently for the soldiers to chase her

  They're lining up, running to the door of the club to the mini-motel rooms

  They open the door; she fires a barrage of rounds from her rifle

  The bullets penetrates one body after another

  What is alive, is now a ghost

  Those that died by her bullets, she is still cautious for more-it's not all of them

  She slowly walks, focusing on what her gun points

  Hearing the sound of the grenade being tossed, she dashes forward to evade it

  With five more soldiers alive, she rambunctiously shoots her gun

  Running and gunning, enhancing her armor, surviving the close quarter fight

  Resulting her a lost of extra defense power with some slight damage to her flesh

  She walks towards these women; she is here to save them

  Believing her, and following her

  While the ladies were trying to put their clothes back on

  Ellie senses a batch of reinforcement-all in their position

  Outnumbered again, but a group of slaves

  Can be turned into temporary militias

  Eight Bloodhound Troopers, they're moving cautiously

  Communicating-nothing is in their view

  A grenade is thrown by Angela

  Majority of the forces are wiped out, she rushes towards the remaining survivors

  Getting finished by her X-86, switches to her shield

  One more grenade she throws; blows up the door

  A hail of bullets is rapidly shot towards her shield

  When they all stopped and the smoke is gone, a rocket is shot

  Decimating an efficient amount, but not all

  She rushes to the room with her last weapon she has-the prisoners are all behind her

  A frenetic close quarter fight it is

  Some of the women died, but most are alive

  Moving with haste, running to get out

  Only Time Can Tell

  Another day have passed by

  All the attacks they were involved

  All the losses of innocent civilians and brave soldiers

  Have lead them for an attack by all of Confederate controlled regions

  Retaliation is something they can't avoid

  Angela returns to Radell

  Her dog loved Angela when the time comes by

  Playing catch, running with him, feeding him, and affecting him

  Izzy is the only closest thing she has, until she finds her brother

  Being the super soldier she is, time is never enough

  He is like her

  Pain, so
rrow, and never knowing when they can feel better

  No remedy can be qualified to resolved this non-stop battling issue

  Angela only wants to avenge her dead loved ones

  Izzy dreads the isolation, in the desperate need of affection

  Happiness can only be on one side, but never both

  She talks to the dog, noticing he can't understand what a word she said

  What is said; is the perception of malaise:

  "The future isn't told by our decisions and actions.

  Time is our manipulator; it tells us what it wants us to do."

  In bed, they both sleep away from their problems

  Sleeping-an illusion for Death

  Awareness is numb

  Their souls can be his

  Battlegrounds (Mission V)

  The entire Confederacy region is shipping over a hundred Choppers and forty Dropships

  Everyone is on board, listening to the president motivating speech while the sun's still up

  There is no fear in the soldier that Angela is with

  They're all destined to see hell and prepared to experience it

  As she and her men entering Dycillia, Choppers are getting shot down by the anti air turrets

  A couple of Choppers are landing their men, to flank the Bloodhound troopers

  Some of them are trying to land their men in a secured area

  Bullets are firing everywhere, both sides are losing troops

  Something that Angela has been used to

  Her ride is taken down by one of the Bloodhound Troopers with an HSH5

  The pilot is dead, but everyone else is alive and go right into the battle

  They're in the suburbs, in a circular location with three downed Choppers for cover

  Right down the middle lane is a mass of Bloodhounds Troopers in houses or outside of them

  All the houses are both on right and left side of the lane

  About fifteen feet away to a tunnel where they can go to downtown

  And kill some more

  Angela is met with a flock of allied soldiers and Robert is there with her too

  Robert orders Angela to take on the left side with some troops to go with her

  Due to the powerful suit of the T-300, she can withstand many bullets

  Although, at times she needs to regenerate

  The three soldiers behind her, helping her when she needs help

  Most likely for medium range shooting

  Those that try to come up and close personal to her, they'll be dead

  She's untouchable in close quarters

  The battle's over, twenty
