Mustering up as much strength as she could, she left herself up to her knees and leaned up against the wall to help carry herself up. She tired to yelp but a gasps of pain escaped her. "Barely..." She with a pant. "So, are you German? You don't look like German but you got their kraut clothes on you..."
"I'm a German mercenary, I use to be a Sergeant and they still consider me to be one," Foster began, "I want this war to end swiftly, I don't want the germans winning granted I'm one." He turned his head to the female, "I don't even care for the war, I was forced into this… Bulls***!"
"You and me both." she said, leaning off the leg and favoring her leg. "So, you're a kraut and the krauts consider you kraut but you're not really on the kraut side. What are you, a spy or something?"
"LIke I said, a mercenary," Foster looked out to the swamp, "it's so quiet, yet we're being watched. I want someone else to win other than the Germans, hopefully there will be peace after the war." He looked at his shotgun and sighed, "What are the damned idiots thinking? It's not like the Germans are at full disposal, we already have Russia and few other countries and states under our control, why push so far?"
The giant couldn't help but chuckle. It had been quite some time before he let an enemy get away. The Spezialenheit came to their leader quickly, but he waved them off in a way that had not happened before: he was going to track down his prey himself. Adrian looked into the swamp, the SSSO looking at him for a moment, and then leaving. The giant was a man like no other. He was one who delighted in the thrill of the hunt, and would stop at nothing to simply torture the poor souls that believed they could escape his unseen eyes. He walked through the swamp, following the metallic smell of human blood. It had been so long since the man felt pain, and merely hoped that this time... his prey would give a real fight.
As the sun was beginning to set, Rene received a phone call that he did not wish to receive. Iceland had removed all ties with Europe and had sided itself with America and Canada. While not surprising the Fuhrer due to Iceland's power, or lack there of, Iceland was leading the world in geothermal energy. What Rene did not know however, was that the small island nation held the command center for all resistance groups in Europe in an isolated area to the north. This could be a problem. Iceland's current government was incredibly hostile to Germany, but never willing to commit suicide in starting a war. If Rene removed the government there and replaced it with a puppet government that would do anything he would say, it would be another step taken towards what he believed was a better world and to keep the peace in the world. Rene decided to take military action to Iceland. He would not need very much to overthrow the government, but he felt like he would need to take a different direction to the situation in the country. He would send troops there tomorrow morning. If Rene discovered the Resistance headquarters, it was over for all organized resistance in Europe against the Nazi's. Entirely.
While at the doctors office she simply rested and waited patiently until the wounds were fully dressed and done. She had to admit if the Nazi's weren't war-hungry, anti-Semitic and overly nationalistic nutjobs then there improvements in the field of medicine and eco-friendly energy weren't so bad. After 2 hours of rest she was taken to the mayors house to have a safe place to stay for the night and some fresh clothing. After having a wash and getting dressed in a blue lace dress and heels she browsed the mayors shelves. What surprised her was the extensive amount of movies the guy had and they weren't just Nazi propaganda films. There was films from everywhere, Films made in Hollywood and Britain after a while she saw a film that looked quite intriguing: The great dictator starring Charlie Chaplin. She pulled it out from the shelf and loaded it onto the projector beginning to watch it. As the movie progressed the mayor's son and daughter came in along with the mayor himself. "Gute Wahl, mein Kind. Charlie Chaplin ist viel besser als die Sterne der heutigen Welt. Die Behörden meinen Verrat erzählen Sie nicht, oder wir verlieren die Möglichkeit, das Leben in der Welt seiner Träume. (Good choice, my child. Charlie Chaplin is much better than the stars of today's world. Do not tell the authorities of my treachery or we lose the possibility of living in the world of his dreams.)." The man was quite old she could tell that he was at least in his late 50's early 60's and the way he spoke she could sense a longing for the days before the third Reich. Calmly Alexis spoke back "Ihre Träume werden mit dem Fall von Rene wahr. ob es 1 Jahr dauert, zehn oder sogar fünfzig Ihre und seine Träume Wirklichkeit werden. Ich werde es sehen, durch. (Your dreams will come true with the fall of Rene. whether it takes one year, ten or even fifty yours and his dreams will become reality. I will see it through.)" a feint smile grew upon his face as he sat himself down and watched the film alongside his family and Alexis. Though she kept thinking about where Resnove was. After a while the ending speech came and Alexis felt tears of hope and pride in her eyes as thoughts of a new world inspired by these four minutes filled up in it. Spoiler: the speech [video=youtube;pK2WJd5bXFg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK2WJd5bXFg[/video]
Reznove had been searching and searching for Alexis, the doctors said she took off… but where in the hell could she be? He heard a noise in a room and slightly opened the door. A movie was being played, the room was dark and he had caught the speech, seeing Alexis somewhat tearing up. He would have to watch this in particular movie someday. Reznove walked and sat next to the female, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, im fine. That movie was just amazing. It has given me an idea. something to inspire the masses something to raise a new dawn. All I need is access to a tv/radio station and this speech. I might write a speech of my own. As the best way to bring change is to incite a want for change within others. We'll also need a mask and a persona. Something or someone to embody these changes while keeping a sense of mystery in the media and authority. The more media coverage we get of this persona and their actions the more we can inspire citizens of the world." She then turned to the mayor. "Glauben Sie, Sie können Ihr Dorf zu vereinen und uns helfen, diesen Krieg der Veränderung zu gewinnen. Vielleicht ist diese Nachricht zu verbreiten, um andere Dorf, dass Rene und seine Männer können nicht auf oder haben keine Kenntnis von den Aktionen gegen ihr Königreich verpflichtet. (Do you think you can unite your village and help us win this war of change. Perhaps spread this message to other village's that Rene and his men cannot access or have no knowledge of the actions commited against their kingdom)." The mayor simply nodded and headed up to his room to write a speech. Leaving Alexis and Reznove with the mayors 21 year old daughter and 30 year old son.
"That… that is actually a great idea." Reznove said. He defiantly needed to catch up with the newer world.
The giant came upon the cave, smelling the girl's blood and the scent of another. He believed he had smelled the scent before, but was not entirely sure. Adrian proceeded to enter the cave, his masked eyes welcoming his old friend, darkness.
Foster smelled something, "We need to find another way out, we're not alone." He began backing up with his shotgun into the darkness, "I hope you're not afraid of the dark." Reznove sat next to Alexis, "Thats a great idea, give others motivation and hope, but what if the enemy intercepts it?" Alkosta knew something wasn't right. As he took a bite of his dinner, he began feeling chest pains as he fell to the ground, his vision eating blurry. Before he knew it his heart just simply stopped, he had died of a heart failure.
"I spent quite while a prison camp. Bit late to be afraid of the dark." She limped behind him, using the wall as leverage.
Rene had sent 20,000 troops to Iceland to remove their government and replace it a puppet government, while also disguising the action as a "Violation of German human rights in the nation of Iceland". After WW2, Iceland had experienced a growth of German population, and Rene used this to his advantage to throw the nation into chaos and trigger wide spread revolt before the troopers arrived. And they did exactly that. With Iceland having no standing military, they relied on other nations for protection, especially America. But since that America was fighting a war on two fronts against the newly Fascist Mexico and the Empire of Japan, military action by the United States was impossible. Two hours after the soldiers arrived, Iceland was incorporated into the Reich. Rene could now focus on internal issues of his nation. With Fascist Spain and Italy keeping an eye on what was left of France and England, it kept a load off of Rene's shoulders. He sat down at his desk and got to work. Unaware of the Resistance "Gold Mine" in Iceland,the death of Alkosta and a possible revolution in his own nation.
The large man stealthily glided in the shadows. He could see better in the dark in the light, and he remembered his youth... _________________________________________________________________ The young child crawled into the dark of the cave, bare feet and in ragged clothes, he choked and gasped. The fire left his throat in pain that he could only wish he could scream. Adrian could merely cry; his mother had not escaped the fire. He had no one to turn to now, as he never had a father, had no other family, and had no friends. The small house he lived in was burnt to a crisp, and even though he knew the town well, he was too depressed to go anywhere else but his secret hiding spot. He saw someone's shadow running from the flames, but he could not see who. But he had lost everything... everything. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ He came to again, and focused on what he was set to do. He was close; he could smell sweat and blood, hear rapid heartbeats echo off the walls, and could still see the blood in the near pitch-black darkness. From here, he would only use his hands, and would kill with them...
Foster grabbed out two large combat knives as his eyes adjusted to the darkness. From the caves entrance light he could only see a rather large figure, the same size as himself, "Its HIM." He said quietly. He looked forward and saw a smaller hole, and it had light, day light, "I believe its time to part ways, I'll find another way out of here, but you must climb through here to get to your freedom. I nor will our predator fit through here, I've been to these swamps before and this cave, so I'll get out of here. Go before we're both killed." Foster told the female quietly.
She nodded before scurrying in with a yelp, hitting her leg against the ground as she clawed her way out. As she reached the light at the end, she crawled out panting but didn't stop. She scrabbled on easily to her feet and limed through the east swamp, hoping some of the prisoners she was with escaped this cesspool too.
Foster knew there were five ways out of here, the closest was under water tunnel, which only traveled twenty-seven feet. He was a fast swimmer and diver. He held his breath as he dove into the large pool of water, swimming into the dark void before seeing a small tunnel of light.
He could barely hear it, but he was able to see through the plot that was discussed by the two. He decided to stay, and face the better prey. He dropped his guns and his knife to the floor of the cave. He walked slowly towards the other male, slouching over to fit in the cave...
Foster was close to the watery entrance to outside. Finally, he made it, but left his shotgun behind, "Don't wanna run into him next time." The swampy smell greeted him once more, he needed to find the female before that thing finds her first, that would not be good.
