1 the fall of nations

It was a dark stormy Sunday morning in London. Mark was woken up by the buzzing of his alarm clock. After turning it off by throwing it across the room, Mark sat up and switched his tv on. As he was flicking threw the channels for a while he finally settled on a cartoon. While his tv blared out comical sounds mark got out of bed and started to get dressed. He put on his battered blue jeans and a black t-shirt with a ghoul stencilled on it. "Is breakfast ready mum!" Mark shouted but he got no reply. "Must of left for work already," he decided to go downstairs to make himself some breakfast. He put some toast under the grill, while that was cooking he sat down at a sleek marble breakfast bar and switched on the tv opposite. This time he put the news on. When the picture on the screen finally loaded there was a big message saying 'global emergency!' Which than cut to a news reporter. "The entire continent of america's cites have been terraformed into metallic fortresses, about one hour ago we lost contact with the world super power and as well as some parts of Western Europe, what has caused this is currently unknown," the reporter explained.

"That isn't good," Mark muttered. After eating his breakfast he tried calling his friends but the phone line was dead, so he decide to try to contact them online. When he logged he found a few of his friends panicking online. He messages one of them asking him if he had heard the news and why he was panicking. His friend replied 'These things are attacking city Central, run they are killing everybody!'

Mark thought he was just messing with him so ignored it and asked some others who replied with similar story's. Believing it's just a prank to humiliate him at school he decide to log off and forget it all. As he started walking downstairs he heard people screaming and running. "What the hells going on," he moaned. When he got down stairs he walked out to the balcony that had a view of the city. He was horrified to see that the city was burning and slowly turning into a metallic wasteland. In then streets he saw civilians being mowed down and the police fighting a hopeless battle against some kind of skeletons with blue glowing eyes. Mark was frozen in fear not knowing what to do. After a minute of just standing there staring he ran for the door. Just as he was about to open the door he heard crackling and hissing mixed in with the screams. Panicking he hid behind the sofa. He waited till everything died down before poking his head to see what was going on but in doing so he signed his own death certificate as he was spotted by one of those things.

The machine destroyed the door and entered his house while the others moved forward. Mark screamed then ran for the kitchen trying to find something to defend himself with. He managed to find a knife and stood in a stance to defend himself with. "Fight me like a man!" He screamed at the machine.

"Very well," responded the machine who proceeded to put away his gun and draw a sword that was glowing with blue energy along the blade. Seeing that Mark threw his knife at the machine but all it did was blunt the blade as it bounced harmlessly away from him. The machine laughed and slowly walked towards Mark taking every opportunity to show of the power of his blade. The machine then poised his blade in a position to cleave Mark's head from his body. Just as the machine swung his blade it froze with the sword just inches from Mark's neck. It's head started shaking and then it collapsed. Mark was still frozen in fear when a bolt connected to a cable hit the wall next to his head. It took him a couple of seconds to snap out of it and realise what just happened, imbedded in to the back of its skull was a small dart.

Then he heard a zipping sound and looked up at the cable. He saw a shadow flying down it from the opposite building. Before he ran he realised that it was a human. He wasn't alone though, behind him was another figure which he couldn't make out. The first one landed next to him, he was wearing full body armour and a mask that covered his face with a skull design on it. On his wrists he had a compact crossbow built on to his armour and two backwards facing blades on his arm. His armour was black with white specs on it. The second person landed and was wearing the same gear except for their mask, which had a bunch of symbols designed on it. "Are you alright?" The first one asked.

"Who are you, are you military, what's going on here?" Mark asked.

"You can call me reaper and her rune for now, we will answer the rest of you questions later," responded the guy in the skull mask.

"You better take this," Reaper handed Mark a sleek black gauntlet with two metal spikes in, one facing forward the other backwards. "It's a grappling hook," rune pointed out. "Let's get out of here,"

Rune and Reaper both fire shots at the next nearest building and jumped of grabbing the line as they fell. Mark stood there for a second then hit a button on his gauntlet. After pressing the button his gauntlet shot out two laser facing the same directions as the spikes. Mark then aimed it at the same building and pressed the button again. The gauntlet's spikes fired out with a sharp hiss. With the gauntlet suspended in the air all Mark had to do was jump.
