6 Hard Choice

I bashed through two doors in a row as I follow the sound of the voice, those creatures desperately running after me, *Activating trip mines*, small round discs were ejected from the Ankle towards the walls, as soon as a Creature walked past it, it would send out a high energy beam, killing anything in its path.

After turning around 3 more corners did I finally spot the origin of the voice, it was a ghoul-like creature, the shape of a human, but the skin glowing and peeling off. I ran past it and saw him or her press the button to close the door. I looked behind me and saw the mess of creatures all pilling on top of each other, trying to be the first to get me.

The doors were shut with a bang, the Creatures screeched as their prey got away. **Come with me** the ghoul said, I just stood there, not understanding what it said. *Do you want me to activate the Universal translator?* My suit recommended, *Translator activated*. I only had to think about it and it was activated. The ghoul in the meanwhile pointed in the direction signalling me to follow her.

Passing through damp disgusting tunnels we arrived in a more open underground area, it was a small village, with about 50-100 ghouls living in it. ''What is this place?'' I looked around me, ''This is a former silo for Element 6, due to the need to withstand extreme amounts of pressure and shocks it was able to survive the attacks of the Demi-Humans,'' The voice sounded feminine, so I guess the ghoul is a girl.

''I was actually surprised that the old Humans still existed, are you one of the 5 leaders?'' She looked at me with big eyes, ''The 5 Leaders?'' I was baffled, ''Yes, the legend has it that the 5 leaders from something called the security council came together and Unified the Earth under one leadership. they also were the only ones that could take the element 6 to extended their lives indefinitely...'' She trailed off not wanting to go into detail about it. *Element 6 is used as a medium to absorb someone else's vitality to extend one's own life, the older the person the less vitality one would get, hence special babies would be prepared to absorb for the leaders to extend their lives, due to the horrid practice only them could receive this treatment* the suit said from its archive.

''No, I am not, although I am a so-called ancient-human I have been asleep for a very very long time,'' I shook my head, ''LIVVY! WHO IS THAT MAN! GET AWAY FROM HIM!'' Someone shouted angrily, the person wore a guards uniform and nothing more than an old-school United Nations Emblem hung on it. I put my hands up, hoping that that is still a sign for surrender. The man came up to me pointing his gun yet suddenly his eyes go wide open, ''LIVVY GET BACK!'' the guard suddenly shouted, as he pointed the gun to my right, I looked behind me and a larger version of that creature was trying to break through the doors, ''EVERYONE! WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!''

*Suit is still damaged, unable to engage in combat mode* I tried to activate my defence and weapon systems, 'Fuck, this is not what I was expecting when going down here,' *Ejecting assault rifle from subspace*, an old rifle came out, it was a Terran rifle made in the 5000s, I turned it to anti-tank mode, immediately the rifle started changing shape from an assault rifle to a very heavy duty cannon, the stock slowly wrapping itself around my arm.

*Warning, using this weapon without an exoskeleton and or energy for the exoskeleton can cause internal damage*

'Fuck it! If I don't I might as well die anyway!' I cursed myself about getting the prototype, 'I thoroughly told you so, now we both are going to die and it is all your fault...' My old personality complained, ''WHAT ARE YOU DOING STOP!'' the guard shouted as he tried to stop me from shooting as the gun powered up, *WARNING REACTION WITH PARTICLE 6 DETECTED BRACE FOR IMPACT!* I shot the gun before I could finish the message, it was eerily silent before a light flashed, followed by nothing. I was zoned out, I couldn't think nor hear.

*Suit passive blast protection system has successfully protected the user*

Yet I didn't fire the gun, it malfunctioned, it was then that I noticed the hole in the roof, 'it seems my distress signal was received...' With that, I collapsed on my knees

Thousands of spaceships from the Republic descended to the planet, **Successfully located the Captain, reading 2 billion Creatures codenamed 420U. It was a sight to behold as millions of soldiers exited the crafts to fight these creatures coming from the ground, when suddenly an unbearable booming sound came from space, **Old Terra has arrived**, the massive dreadnought appeared above the planet casting its shadow upon it. ''EVERYONE EVACUATE!'' the General of the operation shouted shocked by the unexpected arrival.

I was carried out of the Dome that held the Particle 6, sometimes blacking out, ''This is Old Terra, on the command of the President himself the planet 36B-8Y is targeted for purification on the premise of an alien infestation. After these words were said the large blue star used as the core started to spin rapidly, energy leaking out of the sphere. And then there was nothing, the star spun again at its standard speed, I slowly turned my head to look at the planet, ''NOOOO!'' I shouted as the planet broke open, large plums of lava spouting into the air. Nothing could survive that ordeal, 'Get back in!' I said to my old personality.

I finally opened my palm, I remembered just as the light came the girl held my hand, in it was a small bracelet, on it stood: ''Papa is home!'', it was written childishly, with some cravings of what is probably her and her father. I finally couldn't hold back my old personality who gained back full control and started crying, 'Dad, did you have a good life?' I asked myself as I tightened the grip on the bracelet. 'I will punish those who trample upon my old values and morals!' I said, the new personality suppressed nicely.
