ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

All the Light we Cannot See

Chapter 12

The morning sun shined upon Max as he slowly opened his eyes, he expected to see his company but they were gone. Gone forever. Max got up and looked around, even with the rest of his Platoon gone, the trenches were busy, soviet soldiers shouting and vehicles moving. “Hey, get up comrade.” The same Soviet soldier from yesterday said.

Max was already getting up when he saw rows of German soldiers marching through the trenches, unarmed. “W-w-what happened?” Max asked as he kept looking at the Krauts. “Last night there was a raid on the Germans, we were able to take their base camp. Also the names Konstantin, but you can just call me Kostya for short.” Koysta said. Max quickly walked to the medic tent with Kostya behind tagging along.

Andrew was awake, reading a magazine from wherever he founded it. “Hey there bud! How ya doing?” Max asked, trying to sound cheerful, but sounded like an idiot to him on the inside. “Good good, so now what, we’re stuck on this stupid island?” Andrew replied back as he lowered his magazine. “I don’t know, also this is Kostya.” Max introduced, and Kostya just waved at Andrew with a sly smile. Max suddenly got hit by a bright flashing light. Until he saw three different crystal-like shapes.

One was glowing green, another red, and the other green. Max couldn’t move or speak, he was like a frozen man. “How long do we have to suffer from this?” A voice whispered around Max. “Is this the end? Or the end of all of us?” It whispered, suddenly the area changed.

Max was floating in the air, looking below the ground. He saw land breaking apart like mad mens, creatures and humans dropping into the crack, some dying of volcano rocks, others being ripped apart from predators. In the distance, Max could see the same three crystals around it, cracking and slow falling apart piece by piece.

It was like Earth being destroyed, wait no, this isn’t Earth, why else would it be round? Max thought. “Help me young sire, and yet, I could help you.” The voice whispered, suddenly another bright light flashed and he was back. “Ho-how long was I out?” Max asked, he was relieved to speak and move again. “What do you mean?” Andrew said in a funny way that it seemed Max was talking nonsense. “You weren’t out at all, but you keep murmuring about something called the ‘Obelisks’, what are you reading anyways?” Andrew asked.

Max just nodded stupidly and exited the medic tent. “Wait up!” Kostya cried out while running to Max. “There’s something I want to show you.” Kostya said, grabbing his shoulder. Max just groaned and nodded in approval, he was still confused about what happened. Max followed Kostya through the jungle until there was an opening.

There was a large green glowing crystal that Max saw in his dream or whatever, dinosaurs were drinking the lake's water, and the trees surrounding them. And just about there, was a control button stand. “What is this?” Max asked. “I went exploring during the raid, and found this. I believe that not many dinosaurs, if that's what they’re called, live near us because we’re too close to the desert.” Kostya said with a grin. Suddenly gunshots rang out in the jungle and the dinosaurs scattered around, roaring. “What was that?!” Max asked, taking out his rifle. “Move! Fall back!” Kostya said as he took out his rifle and ran through the jungle.

Max tried running after him but the Soviet soldier seemed way faster than the Americans. The gunshots became louder, indicating that something was going after them. First of all, how were they near the desert? Max should have at least spotted it for once, and second. What are these things called ‘obelisks’? Max thought to himself, naming these crystal-like shaped things.

One bullet came so close to Max that he could feel the vibration and heat of the bullet.

“Max, come on!” Kostya shouted, as Soviet troops covered Max. Luckily he was able to make it out alive. “Dumme Deutsche.” Max cursed. “Are you ok Max?” Kostya asked as he rushed to Max. Before he could say anything the ground shooked, until a T-34 Tank fell under the ground.

The ground was cracking in half.
