James Rain
for James Rain in Swordsmoke: Labyrinth
Suggested by underworld_stories
Six months after Hunters & Prey. Deep beneath Ares Island, Mitch and James move through endless steel tunnels, wearing stolen Wraith uniforms. The underground complex—called the Labyrinth—is Shepard’s hidden command network, the only line connecting Ares to the outside islands. If they can send a signal, outside nations may finally learn Shepard has turned Ares into a war zone. Above ground, Marc rebuilds Ghost into a stronger force. New recruits Darren Rift and Ken Danvers, both former Hunters, now fight beside Marc, Ellie, and Clint as they tear down outpost after outpost. Marc takes Darren with him to meet Norman Ryder at the last Hunter stronghold. Marc still hates that Norman split from Ghost to reclaim the Hunters, but knows having Norman’s army against Wraith matters. Marc asks what happens if Mitch and James fail. Norman says they won’t—but if they do, they still have one advantage: Tobey Anderson. Only Ghost, Norman’s Hunters, and Daryl know Killshot secretly turned. Now Tobey serves under General Grayson. If Norman gives the order, Tobey can kill Shepard from the inside. James and Mitch push deeper into the Labyrinth, but someone is hunting them. They soon learn Wraith doesn’t control the tunnel—Mercenary operatives run the depths, led by Centurion. Mitch and James crawl through vents, cross flooded chambers, and fight through silent execution squads as Centurion narrows the breach point. Each wrong turn leads to death. They finally reach the communications chamber. Mitch holds guards back while James powers the system and reaches Hermes Island: Ares has fallen under dictatorship. Send help. Centurion storms in, smashing the transmitter. James attacks. The two clash through sparks and shattered screens. James barely escapes through a collapsing maintenance shaft, dragging a wounded Mitch with him. Centurion calmly picks up a secure phone and contacts his superior. “There’s been contact with the outside world,” he says. “It may be time to cut off Wraith.”
