A few days have passed since the battle at New York. Many marines have lost their life in the battle along with Alex's brother sam. The funeral was held at Arlington Cemetery. Many marines including Sergeant Mercer were giving their respects to Samuel.

Alex was there as he placed the flowers and paid his respects. Ever since Alex lost his right arm in the battle, he's been discharged.

Sometime has passed and the funeral was over as Alex was looking at Sam's gravestone. He tried his best to save Sam but he failed. He began having memories of the incident. He began walking away until someone spoke to Ambrose as he saw who it was.

It was Sergeant Mercer. He put his hand on Alex's shoulder and said something to him.

Mercer: Come on. Let's go.

Alex didn't say anything as both of them continued walking until they saw someone walking towards them as they saw who it was.

His name is Saul Matthews. He is the CEO of Atlas Corporation. Saul walked towards them and spoke to them.

Saul: Excuse me Alex? I'm Saul Matthews.

Alex was looking at him as Saul said something to him.

Saul: I'm sorry about what has happened to you and your brother. Your father always told me, You two always want to be like him.

Alex was thinking about what Saul said. How does he know Alex's father? Saul said something to him as Alex was listening to him.

Saul: Your father was a good friend of mine. I knew him for a very long time. After your father passed away, I heard about You and Sam being enlisted in the marines.

Alex was silent as Saul continued speaking to him.

Saul: But Alex, I'm here to give you a second chance.

Mercer: Mr. Matthews. Alex has been discharged due to his injuries and-

Saul: I am aware of his injuries. At Atlas, we have prosthetics that are twenty years beyond anything the military could offer you. Your father told me what kind of soldier you were. You deserve to fight for a military that's as effective as you are.

Saul gave Alex a business card as he was looking at it before he said something to him.

Saul: Think about it.

Matthews began walking away as Alex was looking at the business card.

September 13 2021

There was a camp site located in Maryland as it showed Atlas operatives along with Alex moving through the camp as Ambrose was looking at his new robotic arm.

Atlas operative: Alright, There's a hostage inside the cabin and we need to rescue him. Let's take down the enemies silently.

Alex nodded and began moving through the camp as he shot two enemies in the head and continued moving through the camp. Ambrose was at the cabin door as an operative said something to him.

Atlas operative: Toss a threat grenade.

Alex nodded and pulled out a threat grenade and threw it at the cabin as he saw all the enemies inside the cabin.

Alex began shooting at the enemies through the wall as all of them were neutralised. He entered the cabin and saw the hostage inside the room.

Alex used his robotic arm and punched the door as it was destroyed as he pulled out a rifle and shot four enemies in the head as the room was clear.

Alex saw the hostage as he helped him stand up and began walking through the main hall. He opened the door as the hostage along with Alex were outside.

Suddenly Alex's robotic arm began twitching as he was looking at his arm until someone attacked him. Ambrose immediately got up as he saw who it was.

Benjamin was smiling at Alex as he was looking at him. Both of them continued staring at each other until they began fighting.

Both of them kip up as Alex tried to kick him but Benjamin rolled out of the way. He tried to hit a discus forearm on Alex but he kicked his arm and tried to hit a roundhouse kick on him but Benjamin ducked under the attack.

Alex was gonna hit a big boot on Benjamin until someone pushed Ambrose as he saw who it was.

Anne was staring at Alex as he was staring at her until both of them began fighting.

Anne tried to hit a leg sweep on Alex but he did a backflip dodging the attack. Benjamin tried to attack Alex but he did a leap frog dodging the attack. The duo began fighting Alex as he was dodging and blocking the incoming attacks.

Suddenly Benjamin and Anne noticed Alex's robotic arm was twitching as he was looking at it until someone threw a combat knife at him but he blocked the attack using the robotic arm as Ambrose saw who it was.

Michael was looking at Alex as both of them began fighting.

Anne and Benjamin tried to hit a double superkick on Alex but he used the robotic arm to block the attack as Michael tried to hit a spinning heel kick but Alex did a backflip dodging all the attacks.

Suddenly someone kicked Alex in the back as he immediately turned around and saw who it was.

Chris was staring at Alex as both of them began fighting.

All four of them began fighting Alex as he was dodging all the attacks. He continued fighting them until someone attacked him as he saw who it was.

Jack was staring at Alex as both of them began fighting.

The team began fighting with Alex as he was dodging all the attacks and continued fighting until Anne and Benjamin hit a double jump kick on Alex. Suddenly Michael hit a big boot on Alex as Chris hit a superkick on him until Jack hit a leg sweep on Alex.

Alex was on the ground as the team were looking at him until they said something to him.

Michael: Good work Alex.

Jack: End simulation.

Alex managed to get up as the team continued talking to him.

Benjamin: Good fighting Alex.

Anne: We should take you to R&D to check on your arm.

Chris: But you still fought good.

Alex nodded as they saw a jeep driving towards them as Saul got out of the vehicle and spoke to the team.

Saul: How's my boy doing?

Michael: He's doing good. He completed the simulation easily.

Jack: However his arm is giving him some trouble.

Anne: But overall his combat stats are excellent.

Chris: Shooting is also excellent. Never misses a shot.

Benjamin: And he's pretty smart and pretty efficient.

Saul: That's good to hear. Come on. I'll show you all a tour around the facility.

They nodded and got inside the jeep as it began driving around the facility. Alex was looking at the operatives testing their exo suits along with tanks and drones in the area as Saul said something.

Saul: What you're seeing is advanced warfare. Atlas has the single largest standing military in the world. You can also say we are a superpower for hire.

They continued driving around the facility until they made it to R&D. Alex was about to exit the vehicle until Saul said something to Ambrose.

Saul: Whenever I look at you. You remind me of your father so much.

Alex was looking at him until Saul told him to check up on his arm as Alex along with the team exited the vehicle and began walking towards R&D. They opened the door and saw someone.

Mia: Hey there. I'm Mia Jackson, Head doctor at Atlas.

Alex was looking at her as Mia smiled at him as both of them entered the research station.

Mia: Alright sit down. I'm gonna check on your arm.

Alex nodded and sat down as Mia inserted a cable on his robotic arm and began running diagnostics.

Mia: Alright, move your hand a little bit.

Alex began moving his hand as Mia noticed the problem and spoke to him.

Mia: I see the problem. . . One moment. . . Done. Now move your arm now.

Alex began moving his arm as it was functioning well as Mia removed the cable from his arm and spoke to him.

Mia: Alright, you're good but I recommend some trigger time to check the calibration.

Alex nodded and left the station and began walking outside as he saw the team and spoke to him.

Chris: Well your in the team now.

Benjamin: Welcome to Atlas zero one.

Anne: But remember things do chaotic.

Michael: But we're always here for each other.

Jack: That's right. Once again welcome to Atlas.

Alex nodded as all of them began walking around the facility while talking to each other.
