Chapter 1: Wilmera
12:32pm.
February 26th 2036
A 15 year old kid with a messy curly hair and a thin moustache
ran along a grassy field with other kids chasing him, ball
tucked under his arm one of the other kids tried to tackle him,
but didn't get a proper grip on his leg and fell off. "Go Arty!"
Shouted a kid with long blond straight hair with dirt and grass
stains on his right side. Another kid jumped on the back of Arty
and slipped down and hung on around his waist. Arty passed the
ball as he fell down as another kid tackled him around the legs.
A kid with short curly blond hair that looked just like Arty and
kid with long blond hair caught the ball and ran the rest of the
way he jumped and put the ball down over an imaginary line
marked by two sticks sticking out of the ground that also marked
the side lines. He rolled forward as he did and rolled straight
back onto his feet.
"Arty, Murray, Luke, your old man wants to see you's" Shouted a
light skinned aboriginal 17 year old and Lucas's best friend.
"Say's who" Murray the oldest of the Barnes children at 18
yelled. "Cynthia just said, she says Cedric's already there"
Mason shouted. "Righto, let's go" Luke said as they walked off
the field and a couple of kids from the other team joined their
team to even up the sides.
The three walked along the busy street in the middle of town,
Arthur, the middle child of the 5 Barnes kids, also the
strongest , Lucas, the second oldest and the best looking out of
the 4 boys and Murray, the oldest and the smartest. "Hey kids,
give this to your old man" The owner of the town butcher shop
said as he handed the passing trio a bag of meat. "Righto"
Murray said as he took the bag and they opened and checked it
out as they walked home. "I think we're having steak again"
Murray said.
"How different" Arthur said. "Remember that time we had wombat
for dinner" Luke said. "God awwful shit, how could I forget...
When we had fish, now that was a good feed" Arthur stated. "Yeah
whatever" Luke said.
They turned a corner and to walk down the road to their house.
"Hey Murray" Said a girl with long brown hair and freckles. "Hey
Brodie" Murray said as he turned around walked backwards to say
it. He turned around again to continued walking with his
brothers. "Who's that" Luke asked. "Brodie" Murray said. "Be
fucked" Luke said.
They walked through the door of the pre war two story house,
that had been patched up by scavenged materials from the ruins
of the old town outside the strong town walls. The boys walked
into the kitchen and Murray handed their mother the bag of
steaks.
"Right which one of you did it?" Their father asked.
"Did what?" Cedric asked. Cedric was the youngest boy and twin
brother to Cynthia the only girl in the family and they had
brown hair like Arthur but had darker skin due to Maria their
mother being an aboriginal, while Arthur had the exact same skin
colour as his dad and build of his grandfather on his fathers
side, while the older two were spitting images of their dad in
every way and the twins were a lot like their mother.
"Someone heard somebody shouting Barnsey out in the ruins
yesterday" Cameron stated.
"Maybe somebody was looking for a Cold Chisel tape" Arthur said.
"Don't be a smart arse" Cameron yelled.
"Yeah that's Murray's job" Cedric said.
"Shut up!" Cameron said. "Which one of you was out there!" He
asked.
The 4 boys looked at each other and shrugged almost
simultaneously and shrugged. Then Luke sighed. "Alright, I went
outside the walls to look for something to give to Alexis, it's
her birthday soon and I wanted to find something in one of the
old shops near the old fountain" Luke explained.
"Did you take anybody with you, or anything to protect
yourself?" Cameron asked angrily. "I took Mason and we had
knifes on us" Luke said.
"I don't care how big of a man you think you are, do it again
I'll get my fucking belt" Cameron yelled.
"Yes dad" Luke said pretending to take him seriously.
5:02pm.
February 26th 2036
Every kid born in 2021, in Wilmera walked out of the many
demountable classrooms that were on the back of a fleet of
trucks in the town when it was discovered near the end of the
war in 2019, this one was specifically used to teach History.
The school system in the rather large town consisted of two, two
hour classes on every subject each week; Maths, English,
History, Geography, Survival Skills and Practical Skills.
Arthur and his mate John and their girlfriends Bethany and Sandy
walked together away from the school and towards the centre of
the town, a dividing road that cut the almost perfect
rectangular town in half, forming two squares. It was a 4 lane
road with a median strip up the middle and most buildings up
either side were shops, pubs, brothels, resturants, or motels,
there was one strip club and their were vacant lots with yards
for vehicles, or even horses. Wilmera was located on a cross
roads of two major trade routes, one between Melbourne and
Sydney when the cities used to trade and a route out West,
Wilmera was also located very close to Sydney an used to get a
lot of Sydney people come in as Sydney despite being very large
did not allow drinking, gambling or prostitution. So many Sydney
residents travelled to Wilmera to participate in banned
activities. Many travellers, even scavengers and some Bikie gang
members stopped in, though they were not allowed of the main
drag.
9:29pm.
February 26th 2036
Arthur and Bethany sat together on the wall, it a couple of lawn
chairs staring out beyond the ruins of the town and into the
dark bushland, listening to sound of the bush at night with no
wind and a very warm temperature, especially for late summer.
"So what are you doing later on tonight?" Arthur asked. "I'm
going home and going to bed" She responded. And before Arthur
could comment she continued. "And your going home to your house
and sleeping in your own bed".
"Ah... Bloody hell. Come'on" Arthur teased. "No" Bethany said
and then kissed Arthur. "I'm not ready" She reasoned. "But I am"
Arthur responded. "Well your not important, I am, so we're going
to wait." Bethany teased. Bethany climbed onto Arthurs lap and
they started kissing. "Oi, it's 9:30, off the wall" A guard said
as he walked past.
Arthur sighed and looked at the guard who was grinning proudly
as he continued walking. "Come'on I'll walk you home" Arthur
said.
5:57pm.
27th February 2036
The Barnes family sat around a fire in a 44 gallon drum in the
small backyard behind their house, cooking on the fire were beef
sausages, brought into town the night before to be traded.
"What's going on tonight" Cameron asked his kids. "Bed" Yawned
Murray. "Movie's with Alexis" Luke said. "Movies with Beth"
Arthur said. "Monopoly with friends" Cynthia said. "I'll find
something to do" Cedric said as he read a book while talking.
Cameron was the Town Mayor and Maria was on the council board.
Maria was one of the original families still living in the town
when Captain Barnes, Cameron's father and his rag tag platoon
and the civilians they were escorting found it and decided to
rest for a week before they moved on, as the war was forcing
them to move on. Cameron was a Sergeant from a different company
all together that joined his fathers platoon as he lost contact
with his own and was found by his fathers. The town was founded
th walls started being built in 2019 and were finished in 2021
as well as many buildings in the town were on their way to
completion.
8:41pm.
27th February 2036
People walked out of an old shop on the strip that had been
converted into a movie theatre some years before and every 4
days a new movie is played, so they can continually bring in new
movies by trading and scavenging teams without running out. A
loud noise came from the Gate at the south end of the main drag,
everybody on the strip looked and watched as a pair of
headlights got closer and closer and then crashed into the gate,
knocking the gate over and destroying the the big heavy vehicle
that drove through it.
People looked in confusion and then people poured out of the
vehicle and one threw a Molotov Cocktail towards a service
station. It set the bowser on fire and caused the underground
tank full of fuel to explode, destroying a large section of the
town and wall, then the other gate exploded and an army of
vehicles poured through and Marauders started getting out and
chasing people as people ran for the lives. They gunned down
most people that tried to fight and chased whoever ran.
"Go Go Run!" Luke yelled, as he, Alexis, Arthur and Bethany ran
towards the North West corner of the town, where they happened
to live. A group of other towns people joined them as they ran,
they stopped near the house and watched as it burned and more
flaming arrows came over the wall. The entire Barnes family
reunited as they ran across town trying to find people and a way
out. A shop exploded from a pipebomb explosion and knocked a
large portion of the group over.
"In here!" Cameron yelled. All but two ran in the front door of
a house and they hid quietly as the sound of screaming, gun fire
and chaos engulfed the open plain the town was in. The two
people that didn't get into the house were hit by the explosion,
one was killed the other was wounded. A Four Wheel Drive Ute
with a flat tray drove up and crash the wounded man on the
ground. It stopped and a marauder on the back grabbed what
looked like a bandolier of arrows and put it in a mounted leaf
blower looking thing. He aimed at the house and pulled the gun
back and pressed in two triggers and that launched the gun
forward, he pulled it back and fired a constant stream of arrows
into the front wall of the house.
Bullets and more arrows came through the windows and walls,
killing many people in the group, Cameron and another man in
their group rushed into the next room and come back in, they
both had guns, Cameron had a repeating rifle and the other had a
pump action shotgun. A brief fire fight ensued and Maria was
killed by an arrow to the neck. "Oh fuck, oh fuck!" Cameron
yelled as he dropped his gun and looked at his dead wife in
disbelief. "Go, go, I'll cover you!" He yelled. The remaining
members of the group rushed out the back where they run into two
women, one with dynamite and one with an axe. The five Barnes
kids looked back and seen a bullet pass through their dads chest
and kill him.
"Come'on, we know a way out" One of the women said.
As they started running down a narrow pathway between some
smaller single room homes, a wall collapsed killing the woman
with the dynamite, the other women grabbed the dynamite but a
firing squad of arrows and bullets put down many of the fleeing
group, either wounding or killing them. Murray crashed to the
ground with half his head blown off. "Keep going!" Luke yelled
as he dragged Arthur along who stopped after Murray was killed.
Several marauders came through a door and attacked the group.
"I'll hold them off" Arthur shouted as he stopped, grabbing a
flaming plank of wood and swung it at the marauders as the rest
of the group continued running. "I love you!" Beth screamed back
to Arthur as Luke kept her moving.
Arthur held off the group for a moment before one swung a chain
at him and hit him in the side of the head, he dropped the stick
and his was tackled by a marauder and thrown through a window,
cutting his right arm up seriously, he hit the ground and got
his right side burned by fire before he rolled off it and tried
to get up. He tried to fight before he was knocked unconscious
with a shotgun.
Very few made it out the town, less than two hundred out of the
3500 people living in Wilmera, one of the groups that made it
out consisted of Luke, Cedric and Cynthia Barnes, Bethany
Morris, Alexis Richards, and 6 others from the town, they blown
open a water pipe going through the wall, making a big enough
hole for them to get through. A large group of about 30 made it
out through an old sewer tunnel and others got out over the wall
and some went through the wall as it was mostly destroyed.
7:32am.
28th February 2036
By morning all that remained of the town was smouldering ruins,
mortally wounded civilians and many corpses, one of the safest
walls in the known world was mostly destroyed.
A small convoy of travellers drove into the town and many got
out, they looked around in shock, they spent an hour looking for
survivors, while one sent news of the raid via CB to everybody
that would listen.
7:49am.
28th February 2036
Arthur came too in a field, with his hands tied and feet tied
and a rope linking them, he shook his hand and took in as much
as he could, there were vehicles and tents all over the place,
there were hundreds of people all tied up like him, sitting in
rows, he recognised some of the people there from Wilmera and he
was positive everybody else was from Wilmera as well.
He looked at his arm, it was stitched up, badly, but it was
stitched up and he was still covered in dry blood, his ribs were
bandaged up and he was still very sore and not quite sure what
was going on.
He looked around and spotted among the many armed guards was a
tall man with a tanned skin, long black dreadlocks and a goatee,
he was wearing a black jacket and yellow and brown camouflage
pants with brown leather boots. He had a large machete on his
back, a sawed off shotgun hanging from his right hip and a
submachine gun hanging from left hip. He began walked the rows
inspecting all the captures. Once he had walked all the rows and
inspected everybody, he stood up the front of everybody.
"Good morning everybody. I am Jamal. You are all now property of
the Cartel Slaver Company" He announced and then walked away.
"Load em up!" He yelled as he went to get into an armoured
limousine. Arthur didn't know what to do, he just sat there in
silence while everybody around him had different reactions, some
broke down in tears, others went through a range of emotions.

Chapter 2: A Slave, A Smile
10:00am.
3rd March 2036
"Get up!" A shirtless slaver with a short bright yellow Mohawk
and a Sun tattooed on the left side of his chest and Tuner
tattooed in fancy writing on the right side of his chest yelled
as a group of men in Leather Armour plated jumpsuits started
dragging out slaves from the many holding cells and pens. Every
slave had their hands and feet tied together and then they were
marched out through an open gate and along a concrete path with
bridges overhead, with several guards standing on them looking
down at the slaves as they marched single file along the path.
They lined the slaves up rows of 15 and continued the line until
every slave captured within the last week, most of whom were
from Wilmera was displayed. "Shut the fuck up and stop crying!"
The bloke with the Mohawk shouted at everybody, many were crying
and begging. An Armoured Van pulled up behind where the Mohawk
guy and his guards were standing and muscly guy with no hair on
his head, a goatee and intimidating tattoos all over his body.
He wore brown and yellow Camouflage pants like Jamal and black
lace up boots. He had a belt on covered in knives of all shapes
and sizes, he had a fireman's Axe on a strap on his back, also
on his belt was a Claw Hammer, a 44 Magnum revolver and metal
spike launcher with a band holding many spikes the length and
thickness Permanent Marker Texta wrapped around his left leg.
He walked along the first of row of slaves with a mean and
disgusted look on his face he stopped at a young, red headed
girl and looked at her intensely who looked up into his eyes
with pure fear and was even too scared to look away. "Tuner!" He
shouted in voice that perfectly matched his appearance.
"Yes sir, Stormy?"
"This one's been raped!" Stormy yelled. "S.Sir?" Tuner stuttered
in confusion. "God Dammit, one of the useless cunts in your gang
has raped her!" He yelled. "How do you know it was one of mine!"
Tuner yelled back dropping all pleasantries. "Because it's your
crew that has been guarding them we brought them in!" Stormy
yelled. Tuner breathed deeply for a moment and looked at two of
his guards. "Go get Cracker!" He yelled. The two guards walked
off and up a set of stairs and along an elevated walkway.
"Right! All of you worthless hunks of meat, listen up!" Stormy
yelled.
"I am Stormy, I'm in charge of the Slaves, which means I'm now
in charge of all of you! and I punish any rule breakers
personally!" He announced.
"The Rules are simple! You follow the orders you are given,
speak only when told too, there will be on stealing, no
murdering, no lying, no adultery and no disobeying your masters.
You will all be feed regularly and kept healthy, for sale, if
you are not in condition for sale, you will be punished. We have
jobs for those who don't wish to be sold!" Tuner explained.
"We have some prospective buyers here right now, this will be
your one and only chance to fuck up, pay attention to how this
goes, because once you are branded, you'll be punished for
fucking up any sales!" Tuner announced. Stormy and Tuner stood
back as an older couple, flanked buy guards dressed in
protective gear meant to look like suits, carrying Crossbows.
Stormy stepped aside and folded his arms and watched as a
shorter man dressed in nice clothes escorted the couple and
their guards along the rows of slaves.
"Excuse me, Mr and Mrs Halford, can you please excuse us we have
quick demonstration and then we'll let you get back to your
business" Tuner asked. The group finished the line of Slaves
they were expecting and walked a short distance from the slaves
and stood together.
There were guards and Slaves all over the place as they hadn't
had that many slaves being inducted at once, many were dressed
looked Tuner's guards, they were the Guardian Mercenary Company,
they numbered in the hundreds within the Cartel Slaver Compnay.
Some were dressed like Tuner, they were now the Sunshine Boys,
two of the original gangs that formed the Cartel, a few were
dressed like Stormy and Jamal, they were the Eighters, the other
gang that formed the Cartel, as Jamal was responsible for ending
the two gangs war and forming the Cartel he was put in charge.
There were also a few dressed in pretty unique Armour and
carrying swords, they were the Blade Family, another gang that
joined the Cartel.
The two guards brought Cracker down the stairs and escorted him
to Tuner, Cracker was dressed the same as Tuner, except his
Mohawk was yellow, signifying Tuner's higher rank than Cracker.
Stormy marched over to Cracker and meet him face to face. "You
raped her!" He yelled and pointed at the redheaded girl. "No-No
I didn't!" He stuttered but it was obvious he was lying. "You
don't rape the fresh product!" He shouted angrily referring to
the Slaves as objects.
Cracker didn't say anything he just raised his chin a little bit
and breathed deeply as brought his spike gun and shot a spike
through Crackers eye, Cracker cried out in pain as Stormy
brought his Axe out and swung it chopping Crackers head clean
off, as blood spray everywhere and his head hit the ground and
rolled a little bit further away people gasped and some screamed
in terror as Cracker's body hit the ground.
"I saw him commit the crime, I heard him lie to me, You all
understand the rules now!" Stormy exclaimed. "I'll be on my
way!" He said and walked away, stopping momentarily to pick up
Crackers head and then continuing on his way. The Halfords
resumed their business and as soon as they started they stopped
at a group of young women, all four were between 16 and 20. "I
like these four" Mrs Halford told her husband as he continued on
and stopped at the every end of the row, he found 8 men, between
20 and 30, some in front and some behind the a couple he found.
"They'll make excellent workers" He stated.
"Tell me, what background did you come from before this?" Mrs
Halford asked one of the women. "I-I-I, from a big town... I-I
w-was a waitress" She said while trying to hold back tears. "Did
you get sold off for doing something wrong?" She asked. "No, no,
I was captured when-wh-when they raided my town" She said and
started crying. Mrs Halford stood up from his knelling position
and called out to their guide. "Are these people from Wilmera?"
She asked. "Yes mam" the guide said.
"No, no, we can't have people from Wilmera, don't you know about
the reputation of your raid, we can't have that, show us some
older stock" She said. "But Mrs Halford" Tuner tried to reason
with her. "Nope, older stock" She demanded.
"Right, get them to induction center and get Section E out here,
they're still relatively clean from a sale several days ago!"
Tuner ordered his men.
The army of slaves was lined up in single file again and marched
across the open grassy area and up a hill and into a large
concrete building, where they were all given a pillow case
stuffed with hay, a sheet and small metal box were rounded
corners and full of rivets to stop it being pulled apart. "These
are your possessions for now on, deal with it!" Tuner shouted.
They were walked through, the lined moved forward one person at
a time, there was screaming as every person was forced to get
their left wrist branded with an a "S" in a Circle with the
Cartel's symbol below the S, but still inside the circle.
Once they came out the other side of the building they were
being divided into groups of 30 and marched off, they were being
divided by their height, weight, gender and physical build. They
were being assigned to jobs, such as mining, cooking, farming,
production or other jobs, that would keep them busy until they
were sold or a new more useful purpose was found for them.
3:12pm.
11th March 2036
Arthur loaded his bucket with rocks all sizes and carried it
over to a man powered conveyor belt and tipped it on and then
walked back over to where another crew was was digging into a
wall of dirt, with shovels and pick axes, they were mining for
rocks, nothing else, just rocks, another group of slaves were
getting all the loose dirt and carting it off to a truck where
they tipping it in.
A loud whistle stopped work as everybody turned their attention
to a slew of guards coming down the dirt ramp into the hole and
tying the slaves hands and marching them in single file out of
the hole, they only took Section K, made up of males from
Wilmera between 15 and 30 that were all between 5ft 10 and 6ft
5. They marched all 30 out of the hole and down a pathway past
the farming fields that were between the slaves, clearing the
trees around the base and the crews digging holes. Many of the
Slaves had already guessed they were digging the holes for extra
defenses of the base and anything they got out of the holes were
just bonuses.
They marched into a large brick building near the building where
they were given their brands, as they walked in, they were
forced to strip naked and carry their clothes that were slowly
becoming rags, they walked in and one by one they were brought
to the edge of pool where they were forced to drop their
clothes, scrubbed down quickly and roughly by two guards, they
covered them in soap and scrubbed all the dirt off their faces,
arms, lower legs and upper torso's. Anywhere not covered by
their clothes and and then dropped into the freezing cold water
for a 20 seconds and then pulled out and marched off. They
walked one by one around the pool and were dried off by one of
several blazing fires in the corner
As the gang of 30 all huddled around the fires, drying off, some
looked back as they brought Section M through, which was all
younger women all around the 6ft mark and none showed visible
signs of having children. Most of the Section K peaked back with
every woman they washed, until one of the women gave the guards
a little bit of trouble and they raped her right there, before
finishing washing her and throwing her into the pool. Section K
was then told to get dressed and marched out onto the grass
field and lined up from biggest to smallest in two rows, Section
M was brought out not long after, already there were Section F
and Section A. Section F were all average sized men between 20
and 40 and they had been in there for a while, but a few people
from Wilmera were part of Section F, Section A was now made up
completely of Boys between 5 and 14, from Wilmera as they old
Section A was sold off several days before they invaded Wilmera.
A few more sections were brought eventually and they were made
to wait for a while, before a Truck, towing a flat top trailer
arrived with several vehicles escorting it. On the flat top
trailer were several cages.
A lot of the people being lined up had not been looked over
since they were branded and many were scared, especially of the
people that were going to buy them. Several important looking
men started going over the first lot of slaves, which was
Section K. The Slaves were unaware that these men were high
ranking officials from Sydney, many people, including Sydney
residents did not realise Sydney was run mostly be slaves, doing
very dangerous jobs, or stuff nobody else will do.
"I'm from Wilmera" The first Slave they looked over said. "I'm
from Wilmera too" Another Slave said. "Same here" Arthur said.
"So am I!" Someone from section F shouted. "So are we!" Someone
from Section K shouted. "The Men looked at the slave masters.
"We can't have anybody from Wilmera sorry, we'll return next
week, maybe you'll have some none Wilmera captures on offer" One
of them said and then ordered his men to load up and leave.
Jamal and Stormy flanked by four men that didn't look anything
like the other Slaves, they were all very scary and unique
looking, stormed out onto the field and Jamal looked at
everybody very angrily and then yelled to get every single Slave
onto the field.
5:49pm.
11th March 2036
Nearly a thousand Slaves were packed onto grass field and a
stage on a trailer had been towed out onto road going through
the field, Jamal was standing up there with Several Guards and
Stormy, the 4 men that flanked them earlier were now lined up in
front of the stage. Stormy had one Slave, a drug addict with no
teeth, they had picked him up years ago and couldn't sell him so
they choose to make an example out of him, as a group of
Mercenaries working for a wealthy land owner were walking
through picking out which slaves they wanted.
"Slave are you are from Wilmera?" Jamal pointed at and asked a
man in his mid 30's who the Mercenaries paid particular interest
too. "Before you answer!" Jamal cut him off and then drew every
slaves attention to Stormy who took a knife from his belt. "This
man claims to be from Wilmera" Jamal stated.
Stormy grinned in sadistic delight and then proceeded to scalp
the slave slowly, making him scream in agony, before slashing
both the slaves eye balls and then cut open his chest and let
him bleed to death on the stage. Storm stepped forward and held
his bloodied knife in the air as the Guardian Mercenaries on the
stage let the blood flow from his body and then took it down.
The slave who Jamal asked shook his head and boldly stated he
wasn't from Wilmera.
"Slave are you from Wilmera?" The Mercenaries were now asking as
a favor for Jamal to get a discount on the Slaves they want. 6
said "No" Before one said he was and he was dragged to the stage
and Storm and cut both of his cheeks and stabbed him in the
thigh, causing him to scream and having his cheeks tear open,
brutally and horrible. Stormy then cut his throat and then
Guardian Mercenaries took him down. "Over a dozen more were
asked and said "No" until they got to Arthur.
Arthur made up his mind as he watched that woman get raped
earlier he didn't want to be slave and he was going to be
defiant and this was his opportunity. They dragged Arthur up to
the stage and chained him up and Stormy cleaned off his knifes
and scraped them together as Jamal asked. "Care to rethink your
answer?"
"I'm from Wilmera!" Arthur shouted. All the slaves watched in
horror as Stormy tried to get two for two and cut Arthur cheeks
and drove open of the knives into Arthur's thigh, but Arthur
refused to screamed. Stormy kneed him in the testicles and
Arthur stayed strong and did not scream. Stormy looked in pure
anger at Arthur as Jamal ordered the guards to take him down and
go and fix him up, as they could still sell him. By the time the
Mercenaries had finished looking over the Slaves and had brought
25 of them, 9 Slaves had been tortured, 2 had survived and by
the time the sun went down at 8:00, every slave was afraid to
mention Wilmera, let alone claim to be from there.
7:09pm.
9th March 2037
The Slaves of Section K finished their last day of digging, they
had dug a large portion of the trench that was destined to go
right around the Cartel Compound, Section D had lined the trench
with wood to even out the walls as well as lining the walls with
spikes and barbed wire. Section K was still mostly men from
Wilmera, all of them were tired and their spirits were broken
and none of them really cared anymore, none of them hoped, they
were miserable and some had contemplated and someone even
committed suicide. The Slaves marched out of the hole and back
to the Section K shack where they were all living.
Arthur laid down on his bed roll and pulled the sheet up over
him and pulled his metal box close to him and opened it, all he
had inside was a journal and a pen, which he did well to hide
and several pictures from a pre war magazine, all of the slaves
in Section K had pictures from the magazine but Arthur
considered his more special than the others; his were of the
same naked woman, just at different angles, her name, real or
not was Bethany and she looked similar to Bethany and that was
the only thing keeping Arthur going was imagining him meeting
Bethany again one day.

Chapter 3: We've gotta get out of this place.
8:12am.
10th March 2037
Clothes cut off, sprayed head to toe with soap and forced to
scrub themselves clean and then thrown into the pool of water,
dragged out of the other end and stood in front of furnaces to
dry and once they had dried they were given new clothes and
marched back to their living quarters where new bedding had been
provided. All 30 of Section K, Tier 3 were lined up out front of
the shack they all lived in.
"Sir, these men are some of our most consistent and strongest
workers" A Slaver of the Sunshine Crew, by the name of Raddit.
"Then why is section K, part of Tier 3" The prospective buyer
asked.
"Well, Sir, they are to Valuable as workers to be a part of Tier
2, not loyal or trustworthy enough to be a part of Tier 1 and
are still worth something, there for baring them from Tier 4"
Raddit explained. Raddit spoke in a civilised and high class
manner to impress buyers and that had elevated him through the
Ranks.
"What will happen, to the men I don't take?" The buyer asked.
"That is not my department sir, quite possibly manual labour
jobs"
"That'll suit them, show me Tier 2, I want presentable Slaves,
not this scarred, messy lot" The buyer said.
"Very Well sir, if you will follow me..." Raddit said.
The Buyer and Raddit left the pen and 4 more Slavers from the
Sunshine Crew came in and started giving orders.
"Right, get your shit, line up and follow us" One of them
ordered. You looking at something?" He shouted at a Slave by the
name of Luke.
"No sir" He said quickly.
"Bullshit!" The Slaver yelled and smacked Luke across the face
and made him fall over.
"Get up you miserable worm" The Slaver yelled. Luke got up as
quick as he could and ignored the blood running from his broken
nose.
The Slaves marched into the quarters and collected their bedding
and possession boxes and were marched out of the pen and past
the bathhouse once again and down to the other end of the
compound. Where they were part into another pen, there was a
sign above the gate, that said Section K Tier 3. They were set
up there, across the pathway from another pen, that was empty.
Later they were joined by Section K of Tier 4 and then sections
were combined under Section K Tier 3. Tier 4, were the lowest of
the slaves, they were worked to death, because they weren't good
enough to be sold. Section K of Tier 4 was selected from the
rest as slaves that could be sold. They were integrated and
informed that would be making mining gear in the pen across from
them, starting tomorrow and that they would be guarded from the
elevated walkways all around, just in case they got any funny
ideas with the gear they were carrying.
That night as usual the Tier 1 slaves brought around the food
for all the slaves as usualy they were scoffed at a berated by
the other 3 tiers and at least two slaves were beaten or
punished by the Slavers.
Tier 1, were the highest class of Slaves, they worked in the
Slaver town, in the Kitchens, the Bathhouse and sometimes as
Slavers personal slaves, they also made all the clothes and all
the bedding the rest of the Slaves had. Tier 2, were the most
valuable slaves, for their particular skills or body shapes or
just pure obedience, they were treated well and half the
workload the others did and were looked after. Tier 3, a cross
between Tier 2 and Tier 4, they are worked hard and if they die,
so be it, but they will still be sold if the opportunity arises.
Tier 4, are the scum of the Slaves and are expendable, they die
working or a killed for refusing orders.
7:23am.
29th September 2037
Section K was lead out of the pen and across a bridge going over
the trench around the compound, some of the slaves were dragging
wagons behind them, their mining gear that had spent the last 7
months making as well as bedding and the personal possession
boxes. They were marched through the bush along old tracks
through the hills. They eventually arrived at a pen in the
middle of the bush, it had several large tents in it and their
were towers and shacks around the area as well. But the
important one was an old mine that was fenced off. The Slavers
that walked them their left them with the Slavers at the mine
site: Tuner of the Sunshine Crew, Foxey and Mento of the
Battlers, Molton of the Blade Family and a dozen Guardian
Mercenaries and dozen Battlers as well.
For the next year and a half the Slave of Section K would mine
the existing mines around the area as well as dig new ones, once
a week more slaves were brought out to replace any that died
during the operations. 40 Slaves died in 17 months of working
and almost every slave there was injured during the job, Several
Slaves were killed when they tried to escape, and some were
captured. They were thrown into the pit; they original mine of
the area that was cleaned out completely.
Eventually Section K was brought back to the Compound and the
old mining camp was burned down, they were returned to the pen
they were in when they left. There were 9 of the original
Section K left, Arthur was one of them, 4 Scars on his right
arm, scars on the right side of his rib cage, deep scars on both
cheeks, a scar on his hair line and his right ear lobe was cut
off during a mining accident and his left thigh had two scars on
it. A wooden pillar in one of the mines, splintered and split in
half, sticking straight through Arthur's leg.
4:02pm.
15th April 2039
Due to a takeover of Sydney and an impending war between the new
rulers of Sydney and it's surrounding areas, the Langston Nation
and the Great Gong, to the south of them, plus the break up of
the trade routes all over, the Cartel suddenly come into high
demand, finding new uses for Slaves other than just selling
them, they were now producing for the Langston Nation as well as
holding their South West Border. The Compound was nearly a
fortress in it's own right, high towers, lots of farm land, a
town within it's double fences and spike and barbed wire lined
trenches.
Section K, now back at full strength were the first Section
tasked with building a new building in the field, this was going
to a production building, but it had to be built first. Tier 1
builders had built the walkways around the building area and
marked out and laid out plans for the building and now Section K
had started digging the ground up to lay the foundations of the
building.
1:21pm.
2nd July 2039
Arthur hit a metal spike into the ground directly in the centre
of a pink dot in the dirt while two slaves watched, holding a
roll of string and a can of spray paint. "Hurry the fuck up!"
Yelled Tyson, an officer of the Guardian Mercenary Company and
lead Supervisor of the project. "I'm going as fast as I can sir"
Arthur said and steadily and cautiously hit the spike, driving
it into the ground.
"Bullshit, you're wasting time" Tyson screamed.
"I recommend not threatening a man holding a 4 pound hammer"
Arthur said.
"You threatened me, you stupid cunt!" Tyson screamed and smacked
Arthur across the side of the head with a baton and knocked him
into the dirt.
"You two, give me a hand with this one!" Tyson ordered two
Battlers that were guards for the project that day.
"You take over!" He ordered another Slave, that slave rushed
over and grabbed the hammer of the down Arthur and continued
Arthur's job as he was dragged over to a post for the elevated
walkway and they tied him face first against it. Arthur remained
silent as Tyson took a whip and whipped Arthur's back, a total
of ten times, drawing blood and leaving a deep cut across his
back.
"Get him down!" Tyson ordered the two Battlers.
Tyson went back to the project site as the Battlers took Arthur
down and dragged him to the slave doctors, manned by Tier 1
slaves.
3:09pm.
24th August 2039
The floor and walls of the building were completed, they were
made out of concrete, they were now moving equipment and
materials to the building to build the second floor, which would
be wood and plaster. Arthur was carrying with three other
Slaves, they were carrying lengths of wood to the building from
a truck loaded with scavenged materials.
Arthur Barnes, Mathew Nemick, Donald Ericks, and Rick Lucas, all
from Wilmera originally, they were 4 of the 7 remaining original
Section K, they began talking about things they had heard from
the Slavers and swapping old stories as the Slaves usually did
when they began talking about escaping, though their
conversations started out as just talking, by the time the sun
went down and they were seny back to their pen, all four were
quite serious about escaping and had already got a rough idea
about how do it, a way the Cartel couldn't predict or prevent.
11:11am.
19th September 2039
Arthur constructed a hollow underneath the sixth step in the
staircase of the building, in it, they had nailed, shanks,
hammers and other tools to used as weapons, all of Section K was
in on the plan now as were select members of other Sections,
some also working on the project, others were not. They were
planning slowly, a to not to inform the wrong person and ruin
their plans.
1:02pm.
1st January 2040
The Slaves stopped for the 10 minutes break as usual and the
word was spread that the escape was going down the next day when
they stopped work, Slaves everywhere had stashes of weapons and
gear ready and they all knew the plan. As work would be stopped,
everybody would clean out the weapon stashes and start rioting,
they would burn and destroy as much as they could, and kill as
many slavers as they could.
7:23pm.
2nd January 2040
The Slavers began stopping work and the slaves immediately went
for the stashes of weapons and began attacking the Slavers, Mobs
of Slaves attacked the Slavers, savagely beating and mutilating
them with thier own weapons or their bare hands. Section K began
rushing from the building and through the farmland where a war
with between the Slavers and The Slaves had erupted, many of the
Slavers were killed or incapacitated and their weapons were used
on other Slavers. Arthur and four other Slaves attacked the legs
of a watch tower and a section of walkway.
It fell down and as the Slaves had planned, the tower wreckage
and walkway knocked down the fence and made a bridge across the
trench, loud explosions rang out as a group of Slaves had raided
the armory and blown up the front gates. The Slavers closed off
the Slaver Town and the Slavers in the Tier 2 pens to the north
were winning as they were capturing many Slaves due to the
strong fences and narrow paths between them.
Over 40 Slaves got across the wreckage and escaped but the
bridge was burned by a Molotov Cocktail barrage from Slavers on
an elevated walkway. Over a dozen slaves were burned alive and 4
of them fell into the trench and were called by the spikes and
barbed wire on the walls or burned to death on the floor of the
trench.
The Slaves rampaged back to the center of the compound and went
south through the Teir 3 and Tier 4 pens and the Slaves
numbering over 100 tore a section of elevated walkway down and
carried to a trench, also using it as a ram to knock down the
fence in their path. Arthur, Rick and several other Slaves held
off Slavers as some Slaves escaped across the bridge, before it
was destroyed by a pipe bomb dropped by the Gyro Copter Scout
flying overhead.
The Slavers began winning the fight and the Slaves began
surrendering knowing the Slavers couldn't afford to kill them
after this. Donald refused to Surrender and was cut down
brutally with a curved sword, letting his guts spill onto the
dirt and then having the top half his head land in the pile of
his own guts.
Arthur climbed a walkway with blood running from a hole in his
shoulder from an arrow that stuck him during the fighting, he
was met face to face by Tyson with his whip and a revolver on
his hip. "G'day Smiles" He said with a cruel grin. Arthur and
Tyson squared off and Tyson went to strike Arthur with the whip
but Arthur rushed him and knocked him to the ground started
strangling him, Tyson punched Arthur in the mouth, which caused
part of his scar to reopen.
Arthur and Tyson got to their feet and they continued grappling,
Tyson went for his revolver but Arthur unknowingly knocked it
from his hand and he went for Tyson's whip. Arthur got hold of
the whip and wrapped it around Tyson's neck and began strangling
him again. Tyson Elbow Arthur in the stomach and dragged him
towards the edge to try and flip him over the railing. Arthur
wrestled Tyson as they both pressed against the railing. Arthur
used his strength to throw Tyson over the edge and hang him by
the whip. Tyson struggled while he choked on the long leather
strap of the whip.
Eventually Tyson went limp and Arthur dropped him and Tyson hit
the ground face first, fracturing his skull from the force.
Arthur looked in amazement and shook uncontrollably as he
realized he just killed somebody. He he composed himself and
began moving along the walkway, picking up the revolver just in
time for Tuner to come at him with a machete, Arthur shot him in
the head, blowing his brains out the back of his head.
Arthur began running along the walkway looking for a way to
escape as many others were trying to do, as many of the Slaves
surrendered, none the less the Compound had been damaged and
many buildings were on fire. Arthur was met on the walkway by
three members of the Blade Family, he ran past them and
continued onto a burning section of walkway near a tower on the
South West Corner of the Compound. It began to break as he ran
across it and it collapsed with Arthur on it, falling and
through him across the trench, one the blade family members was
thrown as well, he hit the wall of the trench and was impaled on
the wall.
Arthur struck the ledge and got his legs caught in the barbed
wire of the wall, he struggled to drag himself free onto the
ground he grasped at nothing but grass and tried to dig his
fingers into the ground to give himself something to hold onto.
The two blade family members fired metal spikes from their air
loaded guns, each of them just missed Arthur as he struggled
desperately to get free.

8:08pm.
2nd January 2040
The Blade Family Members reloaded their guns and fired at Arthur
who struggled desperately to get himself free, the barbed wire
tearing into his leg, drawing blood from his dirty and tanned
skin. A spike stuck into Arthur's arm, straight through the
scarred skin on his right bicep. Arthur screamed in pain and
ripped the spike out of his arm and stabbed it into the ground
and used it drag himself out.
The Barbed Wire tearing his skin and flesh as he crawled onto
the grass and got to his feet as fast as he could and took the
revolver, turned around and fired two shots at the blade family
members, he hit one in the leg and missed the other one. He
turned back around and ran through the bush as fast he could as
the echo of the riot in the infamous Cartel Compound Chased him.
9:01pm.
2nd January 2040
The riot had barely ended and dozens of Slavers were heading in
all directions from the fort chasing the escaped slaves, Jamal
knew as he sent them most likely none of the Slaves would come
back alive, but they had to be punished, to keep the notoriety
and fear and the reputation they had earned over the years.
"Get that son a bitch!" Yelled Silver Blade of the Blade Family,
he brother was Teethed, the man who was impaled an hour early.
Silver lead a troop of 10 men through the bush, Sharp and
Samurai, two other members of the Blade Family and 8 members of
the Guardians, all were under the command of Tyson until a
couple of hours before. Arthur was walking through the bush
trying to catch his breath. He heard there echoes behind him and
he took one last deep breath and started running again, tripping
over the root of a tree before long, He got up and continued
running, brushing the dirt and leaves off his knees as he did.
He sprinted out of the bush and across a paddock, running
through the long grass, heading to the bush on the other side,
but it was a long way across and Arthur was slowing down as he
quickly ran out of breath. He fell over in the grass and got up
again and continued running and as he reached the bush he looked
back and seen the torches and heard the echoes of the Slavers
chasing him. He checked his revolver and then put it away and
continued running.
12:02am.
2nd January 2040
Arthur scurried up a bank and dropped to the ground and rolled
under a car and hid in the dark as the Slavers climbed the bank
onto the road and went straight past the car and continued
through the bush on the other side of the road. Arthur crawled
out from under the car after catching his breath and started
running along the side of the road until he tripped over a
pothole and fell down the bank he had climbed just minutes
early.
"Fuck!" He yelled and then slapped his palm against his forehead
and got up and started running again, covered in scraps and
bruises and dried blood, he sprinted blindly through the dark
bush, barely avoiding running into things or tripping over other
things.
