Gears of War: Age of Armageddon

This article is the author's view and opinion of Sera before the Locust-Human war and the Pendulum Wars. Another thing, the article may seem severely messed up due to things you can probably obviously make out. Uhm, enjoy I guess.

Sera
Sera was a beautiful planet. A planet which held the many great thinkers. Unfortunately, most of Sera's history is drenched in blood and warfare. The Age of Armageddon was the era when humans fought one another. This fighting normally occured between the forces of the ISR and the SLF. At first, they fought with words. Then, weapons. And finally, the weapons which almost ended humanity. They have evolved the "atomic bomb" from before Evolution. They used biological weapons, and the massive device titaled "Aurelius". The two sides fought for 1,000 years. Eventually, the Age of Silence ended the conflict. For now, the only records of this time is from the journal of an SLF Rifleman. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 43 S.Y           " The ISR cry for war. They come at our necks, braying like pre-Evolutionized Donkey for our blood.              The Seran Liberation Front will crush their will to fight, and we will march through Landus,              into their capital, all the while convincing their children to join us in victory. We shall               see who emerges victorious."

That's our damn fuel outpost! Humph, chumps.              The ISR was defeated by a small mechanized unit along with loyal SLF militia.              Good news for me, finally. I'll be deployed to Modoon in 3 days to defend a              small convoy. I doubt I'll face some action but if so, I'm going to pop some heads!               I wish myself safe passage in this hell we live in now."

" Well, we definitely did get some action.. a lot, actually. We were ambushed.              Some son of a bitch charged at me with his Kamutya drawn. He tackled me down,               and tried to stab me with it. I knocked him off and kicked him in his nuts.               I got back up, and shot him in his head before taking a ceremonial piss               on him! We will win this war in no time, man! No time!" ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The SLF's downfall
46 S.Y,

" I'm battle-hardened now. My Antuk knife stained with the blood of dozens. My rifle              has fired hundreds if not thousands, of bullets. My soul flows with the pride of               The Front. Sera will be ours. In no time. We have taken Modoon, Posda, Ozzle,               and all that stands in our way is Landus. We have faced many obstacles.               We have faced the subtle assasins of Evazon, the massive artillery of Dunese,               and the warlords of Bespina. We have conquered them...all. And all that stands...               is the scum of Sera. They threaten us with some sort of "super weapon" capable               of destroying us all. I say bull-shit. Let them use it. We are survivors,               and will sure as hell survive this. Bring it on."

"They say they will fire their super weapon in 3 days. They have given us 3 days...              to stand down and surrender. I laugh in their faces. After all we have done to kick               their ass, they expect us to drop our leggings and let them smack our asscheeks?               No. Colonel Midgare said we march on Landus tonight. Fuck..yes. They will fall,               and we'll sure as hell take it, even if we all lose our lives today. For the Front!"

- Tim ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 46 S.Y,

" We have taken the country by surprise! Landus has almost fallen, all that stands is their capital,               Letras! I have to go for now, sorry for a such a short entry. We are attacking Letras now.                I am to go with an armored division! How bad ass!"

- Tim ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 46 S.Y,

" They actually meant it. Devil's mother, they launched the Apocalypse.... They weren't joking.               The Aurelius project was actually a hidden secret by the ISR. No one knows it's effect,                but the ISR claim it will unleash untold evil. Those bastards. If the device does take the effects                the ISR claimed, over half of Sera will be a smoldering hell hole. This is my last entry...                If you are reading this, know I'm going out with a bang. Im going to kick so much ass, HQ                will have to hold me back. I love you, Catherine.

Rebirth
Sera was obliterated in a flash of light and death. Death came swift for all caught in the explosion. However, Tim survived. His family, did not. Tim became a man of vengeance and hate, exterminating surviving ISR stragglers with brutality. While humanity should have become destroyed, they have persevered, and survived.

- Colonel Midgare speaking to large audience-

" At the end of the day, the ISR have trumped the SLF. Not to blame the SLF                             for this defeat, but we have been bested. Defeated. We...have lost.                              But this massive war we as humans have waged for a near millenia...                              has caused us the loss of so much, ISR and SLF alike. As of today, the SLF                              and the ISR have thrown the towel in, and come forward in peace. We hope this                              violent conflict will teach humanity that war is simply not an option.                              Peace needs to become employed. And we have vowed as a dominant species,                              to never ever fight at this magnitude again. Thank you."

For now, Sera is at peace. But farther in time, the humans WILL fight again. And when they do, they shall eventually face an enemy far greater... than they had ever known.
