Prologue: A New Playroom
"Great, now that everything is set up,," Yang groaned as she jumped onto the couch. "I can finally relax…"
"I like this new room, it doesn't feel cluttered without the beds lying around," Weiss said, referring to the new room to play games in. Professor Gine suggested that they get a new room because he stated that it might be cluttered and hot in their rooms. He gave them access to the room shortly after they finished GTA V.
"Alright, I got the snacks!" Ruby yelled as she kicked the door open. In her hands was several large bags of chips and cookies. Blake followed in with a box of soda.
"And I got the drinks," Blake said, not as loudly as her leader.
"That means we're set," Weiss said.
"Do you think Professor Gine is listening to us?" Ruby asked.
"Probably, he hopes that we don't destroy the room in a fit of rage when we play these games. Plus I have a theory he's watching our reactions to the situation," Yang said.
"Why would he watch our reactions? Do you think he's recording it?" Ruby asked.
"Probably, he's probably going to show it to others to see an outsider's perspective on these games," Blake said.
Weiss scoffed, "What kind of person would waste their time watching our reactions? It's not like we have anything interesting to say or do?"
"It's our loving personality that attracts these people," Yang joked. Blake grabbed the Playstation controller off the couch "Ready for some action?"
"Yeah, I really wonder what this is about," Blake said.
"We should probably watch a trailer," Ruby suggested.
"Good idea!" Yang shouted. Ruby quickly pulled out her laptop and went to YouTube. She quickly looked up Black Ops 2 trailer and clicked the first trailer she saw.
Reveal Trailer - Official Call of Duty: Black Ops 2
The screen was black as text was typed in the bottom left corner of the screen. "Wonder what's this one is about," Yang said as she started drinking her soda.
The Vault
Sgt. Frank Woods. USMC (Ret.)
June 19, 2025
Yang quickly turned to the side and spat out her soda. She coughed before saying "Woods is alive?"
"The fact that Woods is alive is more shocking and interesting than the time period this game takes place in," Blake said. Ruby didn't noticed that 2025 was the set date of the game.
"Woah, that's cool. Maybe their guns have a bit more style," Ruby said.
"Again with the weapons," Yang rolled her eyes.
Woods is seen in a wheelchair, looking much older than he did in the previous game
Woods: Aside the fact that I'm still alive, none of this surprises me.
"I'm surprised you survived a grenade," Blake said.
"Is the Russian guy still alive?" Yang asked.
"Probably if Woods is here," Ruby ssaid.
The Treyarch logo appears. The camera cuts to a landing bay on top of a skyscraper. A hovering vehicle is about to land The camera cuts to the inside of the aircraft.
Woods: Technology got stronger…
An image of a drone with a gun, a four-legged walker with a gun and a missile appeared on screen.
Woods: But we got weaker…
The camera cuts to a aircraft vehicle flying around a destroyed city. The camera then shows the drones in action and a man activating a touch screen on his wrist. The screen shows a birds-eye-view of a city.
Woods: With those computers… Robots…
Two drones fly over a stack of shipping containers with a four-legged robot and a smaller drone below them.
"Earth has a long way to do develop robots at our level," Weiss commented.
"I think these robots can pack a punch though," Yang said.
Is that suppose to be a pun? Professor Gine remarked.
"No, why would that be a pun?" Yang asked.
Oh, well this is something the readers will understand than… Whoops, saying too much.
The game cuts to a city flying over a city in battle. The camera then cuts to a soldier in black next to one of the drones..
Woods: Whole unmanned armies… but no one ever asks…
The camera then cuts to Wodds in the retirement home
Woods: What if the enemy steals the keys…
The camera cuts to a bigger view of the city then to a man opening doors with both of his hands. The final shot was of a rally.
"Oh Oum, I really hope that doesn't happen with Atlas' robotic army," Ruby said.
"It would be very, very disastrous," Weiss said. The camera cuts back to the city where the helicopter blows up and crashes into the convoy.
Woods: When the things they built to keep us safe turned against us that's when they figured out, they'll always need men like us.
The game showcases human soldiers in a variety of situations.
Woods: For those who are willing to do, that others cannot.
The game showcases more scenes from the game to really showcase the actions. Some of the things that piqued the team's interest was the use of aircraft, making them think that they'll fly the ship. Then it cuts to more use of the drones and finally the horse
"Horses?!" Weiss shouted.
"Weird choice, maybe once the enemy gets access to the entire military, it includes vehicles," Blake said.
"Make sense, but really? Horses against automatic weapons?" Weiss asked.
"I guess they're desperate," Yang said.
The future is black…
Black Ops II
"Alright, any thoughts?" Ruby asked.
"The time period makes it interesting," Blake said.
"I wonder who the villain is this time around," Yang wondered.
"Probably someone from a different nation," Weiss guessed, "Still can't get over the fact that there's horses."
"I really hope that we get to fly around the city. It feels like Earth has better aircraft than Remnant's," Yang said.
"Agree, to a certain degree. While we don't have armored airships to carry troops. We still fast and heavy hitting aircraft compared to Remnant. Professor Gine remarked.
"Hm, maybe the game will tell us how Woods survived," Ruby said.
"We'll only find out by playing it," Blake said.
Author's Note:
I'm back bitches! Sorry for the long absence, I'm currently rewriting Heroverse, which I'll admit has a lot of development issues atm. And I'll also admit I don't know which direction the series will be going. Might have to put that on hold because as much shit we learned about Remnant over the last few years, we still don't know jack shit about the history. I really want to make it close to canon as possible.
Anyways, I know that the drones have names but the team doesn't know their actual names yet. So their names will be revealed when it is revealed in the game. Anyways, see you in the next chapter.
