Quick Review of chapter 1: The war between Nod and GDI had ended and the victors were chosen, nobody. The world changing missiles launched by Nod force have completely wiped out the human race exposed to the terbium. Only a small handful are still alive but are completely kept as unknown. Now hundreds of thousands of years later A cryo tube had been discovered completely unknown to Celestia of its function it was placed in the palace gardens as decor until one night it opened due to a charge from the sky via lightning bolt now our story continues.

Chapter 2: Awakening

WARNING NOD UNITS DETECTED! DEFROSTING CURENT OCCUPANT! WELCOME JAMES. The cryo cell began to slowly warm defrosting its occupant, the panel on top splits in half and slides to the sides. The occupant was a single human 5 ½ feet tall wearing GDI light infantry armor. Then the occupant slides out of the tube and slides into the mud at the base of the tube. Slowly he picks himself up and leans on the construct while imputing commands into the cryo cell's console.

COMMAND ACCEPTED. PASSWORD REQUIRED: *****. Restoration. PASSWORD ACCEPTED, OPENING GUN COMPARTMENT. One of the cubes attached to the cryo cell opens up. Thunder cracks overhead and gives a glimpse of what gear he as in the cube: a Light Assault Rifle, standard issue and along with it a MMCK (Mobile Matter Converter Kit), and 3 days rations.

The console dings and James looks back at it. MORE COMMANDS? Yes. PLEAS INPUT NEW COMMAND. Eject mobile AI Card. PASSWORD OR FINGER PRINT SCAN REQUIRED. James places his hand on a scanner and the console dings again. SCAN ACCEPTED. EJECTING AI NOW. a small card slides out next to the console. More thunder cracks overhead and the rain worsens. James Takes the card and inserts it into a slot on his wrist communicator. He then flicks a series of switches along the panel and types in the command Self Destruct Alpha. SEQUENCE ALL SOFTWARE IN 30 SECONDS. ESTEMATED SYSTEM FUNCTIONING AT 2% EFFICENCY AFTER SOFTWARE IS TERMINATED.

With that James stands up and limps away (due to extended cryo containment). James had decided to pick a direction and stick with it while constantly pushing through hedging after hedging and sealing it behind him. He doesn't want to make an easy to follow path for the nod baddies to follow him with and he doesn't want them to know he is one of the four legendary elementals (the other 3 will be introduced later on).

When James nears the edge of the Labyrinth he finds something rather peculiar, wood and hay housing. That hasn't been used since the renaissance in the 1600's not in the 22nd century. He continued to go until he hit the street. The street itself was cobble and there was also no sight of electricity anywhere. He was shocked. Then he laughed at himself and said, "god I'm not in the 16th century, time travel is impossible." He took a look down both sides of the street. He saw nobody so he crept up to a house seeing there was no lights on he opened the door and crawled in. the door was too small for him! He was a head taller than the door! "Jesus these people are small" he whispered to himself as he went in careful as to close the door. James turned on his headlamp so he won't wake any occupants of the house. All he needed to do was wash up and 'borrow' a snack. James crept through the house and found the kitchen. He went over to raid the fridge when he heard a voice behind him.

"MOM, DAD, A MONSTER IS IN THE HOUSE!"

He quickly turned around to tell the kid that he isn't a monster when what he sees startles him. A colorful pony, yellow body, blue hair, and as small as a medium dog. "where is the kid," James said quisitively while looking for a human child but found none.

"GAH DAD IT CAN TALK," screamed the horse. James took a step back. The pony, could talk! Just then another pony about four feet tall came running down the stairs with a spear levitating next to it (a royal guards pony without armor). When he started to stab me with the spear James decided not to fight the new locals but jump out of the window and rum as fighting would be bad for him because that would allow more ponies to arrive and stall him.

He quickly ran down the alley behind houses hearing the shouts of his pursuers behind him. He had to get out fast before they could wear him down. He found a suitable house and quickly climbed it. From there he climbed up onto a taller roof to avoid prying eyes. He sat there for a bit to take in what he just saw. Talking ponies! He must be having hallucinations. Ponies don't talk. But these ones did. Then he realized. He must have been out for a really long time.

" there it is," said a flying pony from above. Wait a flying pony! This startled him and he fell through the roof of the house. The hay roof was never meant to be wet and hold a lot of weight at the same time. He hit the wood floor with a thump. He was trapped now. he took off down the stairs and to the basement. He heard voices from upstairs. He quickly used his elemental powers as a last ditch effort and began tunneling through the basement wall being sure to seal it behind him again.

He tunneled like this for nearly 10 minutes going from basement to basement when he soon busted out the side of a cliff. He stood there and waited. Seeing that no Pegasus had spotted him and none of the ponies had heard him over the rain and thunder he decided to hide there for the night and partly seal his hole so the ponies couldn't spot him during the night.

Next morning he awoke to the sound of voices coming from all around him. He opened his eyes and found himself in a prison cell within the dungeons but this cell wasn't cold and hard like normal cells but instead it looked like a single room cabin. The only differences were that a wall was covered in bars and the floor was stone. He felt a draft. You're not supposed to feel drafts with armor on he thought. Then he realized it. He had no armor. And someone was coming down the hall. James had a plan.
