Chapter 4: The Fall and Fury of America

Section 13 joins US forces to reclaim America’s eastern coast from cryptid monsters unleashed after Pandora’s Box shattered reality.

Plot

Six months after the opening of Pandora’s Box, the war has spread beyond battlefields and into the heart of civilization itself. Nowhere has been hit harder than the eastern coast of the United States. What began as isolated sightings in remote forests quickly escalated into a full-scale collapse of entire regions. Reports of strange creatures—once dismissed as folklore—became undeniable reality. The first major outbreak occurred in the Appalachian Mountains, where entire patrol units vanished without trace. Survivors spoke of towering figures, glowing eyes in the darkness, and creatures that moved faster than any known animal. Within weeks, the threat spread outward. Major cities including Boston, New York, and Philadelphia suffered coordinated attacks by multiple cryptid species. Some creatures emerged from forests, others from underground tunnels and sewer systems, and some descended from the skies at night. Civilian evacuations were rushed and chaotic. Entire districts were abandoned. Infrastructure collapsed under the constant attacks. The creatures showed signs of organized behavior, suggesting they were not acting purely on instinct. This led to a chilling conclusion: The Black Covenant is actively directing the spread of cryptid monsters across the United States. To contain the situation, the US military established large defensive zones along the remaining controlled coastline while preparing massive counteroffensives to reclaim lost territory. These operations are dangerous, costly, and often unsuccessful. Because the enemy is no longer human. To assist in turning the tide, Section 13 has been deployed to the American front. For Sergeant Marcus “Bulldog” Hayes, this mission is deeply personal. This is his homeland. Leading the operation is Captain You, coordinating with US command to identify cryptid nests, eliminate high-threat creatures, and push back the supernatural infestation. The objective is clear: Reclaim the eastern coast. Destroy the creatures. And stop the Black Covenant’s influence before the entire continent is consumed.

Opening scene

Eastern United States Near the ruins of Boston Smoke rises over the shattered skyline. American tanks and armored vehicles roll slowly through empty streets. Most civilians evacuated months ago. The ones who didn’t… Didn’t survive. A group of US soldiers nervously scans the rooftops as the convoy advances. Hayes walks beside you, heavy machine gun slung across his shoulder. He stares at the ruined buildings in silence. “This used to be a busy street,” he mutters. Then the radio crackles. “Movement on the rooftops!” A soldier points upward. Something massive leaps between two buildings. Too fast. Too large. A pale creature with long limbs and glowing eyes clings to the side of a skyscraper. Then another appears. And another. Hayes grins grimly and chambers a round. “Well Captain…” “Looks like the locals don’t want us back.” The creatures begin climbing down toward the street. Your move.
