       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.
