1 Awaken

No one's POV

"Pod 143 now opening." said the monitor

The pod door hisses, releasing the pressure from within the pod. It slowly opens and steam starts to pour out of the pod. The fog starts to fade, revealing a man, a human being.

His name, is Creed Dominic.

Creed's POV

I gasp for air and my eyes shot open, I frantically try moving out of the pod but my legs don't move so I slip and fall onto the floor.

My head starts to spin and I start feeling nauseous after the long slumber.

"Damn it." I muttered under my breath

I start throwing up onto the floor but when I notice that I was throwing up blood all over the floor. I try getting up but to no avail, so I had to drag myself across the floor and forced myself to sit on the pod I came out from.

"How long was asleep for?" I asked myself

I sat for a couple of minutes, massaging my legs so that they could move without having to fall again.

'Why aren't the others waking up?'

I successfully stand up but I still struggled to move on my own so I leaned on the pods to help me walk. I approach another pod and I open it up only to reveal a skeleton inside.

'Goddammit. Did no one make it?'

I go back to my pod and next to it was a rack with my uniform and my weapons. I grab my BCM CQB-11 rifle with a vertical fore grip mod 3, suppressor, EOTech holographic optic with a 3x magnifier and a Steiner offset tactical aiming laser.

(Just add a vertical fore grip to it)

I also grab my Glock 19 with a Docter red dot sight on it, a laser pointer with a flashlight option, and a suppressor.

I put on my military vest and I start equipping my other gears.

'I need to know what the hell is going on.'

Once I finished grabbing my stuff, I left the room with the pods and left the factory, it looked it the factory was abandoned for centuries.

I look around but all I see was sand everywhere, endlessly stretching to who knows where.

'Now what?'

I start making my way through the sand, towards god knows where.

2b's POV

1 week later

"The radio tower is all set!" yelled 9s

It's been 20 days after we got revived by our pods, I learned everything, how YoRHa was using us just to continue a war, how humanity went extinct centuries ago.

We've been with the resistance ever since, scavenging what remained of the YoRHa androids. We found operators 210 and 6o and we were able to revive them and destroy the virus from within them.

"Wait? Shouldn't we somehow secure the channel for the radio? If we don't wouldn't the machines hear it too and come here?" asked 6o

"Yea, I tried that and I couldn't get anything." replied 9s

He starts the tower and the tower starts to light up.

"Good job 9s." I complemented

"Oh, it's nothing." chuckled 9s as she scratched the back of his head.

"C'mon let's get back to the resistance camp before it gets dark." I said

We headed back to our resistance camp and there Anemone was standing around checking the map for our next move.

"Oh you guys are back. I think you guys need to see this." said Anemone, "I sent some scouts to the Desert Zone and they came back saying that there were some machines destroyed with bullet holes in them."

"Are you sure it's not one of your androids?" asked 9s

"No the androids here don't really use guns." replied Anemone

"So you want us to check it out?" I asked

"You two and A2." replied Anemone, "Bring back anything that might answer this problem."

"We'll do it." I replied

We left Anemone and A2 was standing there with her arms crossed.

"Let's get going." said A2

We left the camp and ran towards the Desert zone, passing through the City Ruins, and into the Desert Zone.

"What do you think we're going to find?" asked 9s

"Probably just another machine who's probably just out of its mind." I replied

"That's possible but I don't know if that would be possible." replied 9s

"Whatever it is, we're going to find out." I replied, "Just like we always do."

"Oh yea just like always." repeated 9s scratching the back of his head

A2 just rolls her eyes at us, annoyed. We see a couple of Resistance androids, Jackass amongst them.

"Hey, what's going on?" 9s asked Jackass

She turns around and greets us before pointing to a dead machine.

"Another one." said Jackass, "But the thing is, the bullet holes are still smoking, that means we should have heard the shots but we didn't hear anything."

"One bullet to the head." examined 9s

"Every dead machine out there has one bullet in there head." said Jackass

"Just one to the head?" I asked

"Yea, we don't know who we're dealing with so be careful." said Jackass, "And if he came this way, he must have went the way you guys came from."

"We didn't see anyone here on the way." replied A2

"We don't know what we're dealing with so we might have not even seen him there." added 9s

"Oh, so we just walked all the way here for nothing." sighed A2

I look around the desert to see anything, but something caught my eyes in the sand. I pick it up and it was a small metal cylinder with a hole on top.

"That's a bullet." said Jackass

"Ahh." I replied

"Let's go back then, we can catch up with we run." said 9s

A2 sighs from 9s' proposal as to run again, but I just shrugged at her.

We begin running back through the desert zone and through other parts but there was nothing there.

"Think he's hiding around the buildings?" asked 9s

"Pod 042 scan for black box signal." I ordered my Pod

"No, black box signal detected throughout the City Ruins, only the androids back at the resistance camp and you three." replied Pod 042

"How's that possible? Then do a scan, see if you can get any movement throughout the City Ruins." I told my pod

"Scanning... I have movement in the factory near the docks, but only just one movement." said Pod 042

"We could have done that earlier." said A2

We sprinted towards the factory and towards the docks, at first I don't see anything but the sea until 9s pointed at something.

"I think we got him." said 9s

I look towards the docks and a figure was standing there staring off into the sea. We all jump onto the docks and approached him with our swords in our hands.

"Identify yourself." hissed A2

"Scanning, this figure is not made out of artificial material, they're organic material." said Pod 042

The figure turns around, revealing his face. He had a neck scarf that looked like a net, a vest and boots. He wore a long sleeve shirt and tactical pants. He had a gun hanging from his shoulder and multiple other equipment. He also had a eye scar across his left eye and he had a undercut hairstyle.

"Who the hell are you?" he asked

"You first." replied A2

"The names Creed, Creed Dominic. I'm a sergeant for the US marine corp 57th Division, 5th regiment, the Last battalion, Charlie company 3rd platoon."

"That's a lot of useless information." I replied

"Useless?" he asked

"This figure is not an android." said Pod 042

"Android? I thought the machines were tiring enough now androids?" said the man, confused.

"What do you mean he's not an android?" asked 9s

"I'm not a fucking android, I'm a fucking human being like you guys." replied the person

"A human?" gasped 9s, "But they went extinct centuries ago."

The so called human stood there, eyes wide open like he just seen a ghost.

"What do you mean extinct?" asked the human, barely coming out as a whisper.

"They're extinct, humans don't exist." I replied

"Then what the fuck are you!" yelled Creed as he pulls out something from his pocket and aimed it at 9s.

I get into fighting stance, ready to strike him if he does anything.

"Tell me then, what year is it?" he asked

"11945 AD."

Creed's POV

My knees start to buckle as I heard the time of the year.

'What the fuck, I was asleep for nearly 900 years?'

"You're lying." I said, shacking my head in denial.

"Why would we lie about the year?" asked the girl with the blindfold.

"Maybe cause you're the enemy." I replied

"We're not the enemy, I think it's better if we talk this out." said the young kid

I still had my gun aimed at the girl with the blindfold, I didn't want to believe what was actually happening.

'How much did I fucking miss?'

I slowly lower my gun and put it back in my holster, the three assassins with the swords relaxed and put away their sword.

"So, you're a human." said A2

"Yea. And what are you supposed to be?" I asked, "Some kind of female terminator?"

"Terminator?" repeated the kid who was confused.

"Nothing, it's just a....something." I replied

"What year are you from?" asked the kid

"2045." I replied

"What? How are you still alive?" asked the kid

"Can I not explain here, I think there's hostiles nearby." I implied

"The human is correct, multiple machines are approaching." said Pod 042

"Let's go back to camp." said the girl without the blindfold

They sprinted off the docks and I followed, trying to catch up.

'Damn, they're fast, are they actually not human beings?'

After a couple minutes of running we enter an alleyway and into an opening surrounded by connected apartments.

"Anemone." called out the kid, "We found the one who was killing the machines."

I see woman with some desert kind of clothing with a hoodie and a cloak on. She looks at me up and down and gives me a confused look.

"What model are you?" asked Anemone, that's what they called her.

"Model? You must be joking." I replied

"He's a human being." said kid

"But I thought you said they were extinct." said Anemone

"Well, we found him so I guess not." replied the girl with the blindfold.

"Are there others with you?" Anemone asked me

"Look, I don't know, I woke after being frozen for a time being with 40 other humans but I didn't check their pods." I said

"Where are the pods?" asked Anemone

"I don't know, somewhere deep into the desert." I replied

"Okay, I'm going to send a couple of scouts out there to check." said Anemone

"You're saying that no one has ever been out there?" I asked, surprised that they didn't do that.

"Well, no." she replied

"So what the hell were you guys doing? What the hell are even fighting for?" I asked

"Well we thought we were fighting for mankind but we didn't know they were extinct until like a month ago." replied the kid

"Look, I don't believe a single think you're saying cause you guys are clearly, not some robot." I said

"We're androids, why would we lie about that?" asked Anemone

I sigh and rub my head into my hand. I just can't so much information all at once.

"Okay, lets start from the beginning." said Anemone

She pulls out a couple chairs and we all sit down.

"Let's start by introducing ourselves." said Anemone, "My name is Anemone, I'm the leader of the Resistance."

"I'm 9s, a scanner android who can hack into other machines and like collect data." said the kid

"I'm 2b, a battle android." said the girl with the blindfold

"I'm A2, an attack android." said the girl without the blindfold

"I'm Creed." I said

"Okay, now I want you to explain your time period and what you did." said Anemone

All eyes turned to me, I mean I can't tell if 2b and 9s were blind cause they were wearing visors over their eyes.

"Back in 2045, I was a sergeant in the US Marine corp. We were at war against each other for something, I don't remember." I said, "The war raged for 80 year I believe, and I and 39 others were chosen to go to sleep frozen. We were the best out of the best, the most elite, the most loyal, the most intelligent. We were supposed to wake up either 20 years later or when Command tells us to."

"But now, you just woke up a couple of hours ago." said Anemone

"Yes." I replied

"So technically, you're the last human being." said Anemone

"You weren't joking about that?" I asked

Anemone looked confused and shook her head in response. I close my eyes as a tear rolls down my cheek.

"This can't be true, this isn't the future." I sobbed

"Hey, at least now we have a purpose in fighting for something." said Anemone

"Fighting for humanity? There's not a single human alive so who am I supposed to like marry have kids and continue this generation? There's not a single human alive except for me."

'Why am I even alive?'

"We can live as human beings." said 9s

"No that's not possible. From when I met you guys, none of you have any emotions." I said

"We developed them." said 2b

I sigh and left the group and walked off to somewhere where there was no one and just sat down on the floor.

'What am I supposed to do now?'

I hear footsteps approaching and 9s turns the corner.

"Are you okay?" he asked

"Never in my life did I think this would happen to me." I replied

"Well, uhh Anemone thought it would be better if I showed you a room for you to rest." said 9s

I get up and left with him into an apartment and up a flight of stairs to the top floor.

"Here's your room, I hope you get a goodnight rest." said 9s

I don't say anything and just enter the room, the room was clean enough and it looked just like a normal apartment room.

I left my room and went to the roof of the apartment and just sat on the edge, watching over the ruins of the city.

I try to forget all that just happened but I can't, not when I was supposed to be with my family.
