The Ascendants

The Fight for a Better Tomorrow...

When Freedom Fighter Aidan Alastair was sixteen, civil war broke loose. A year later, he is now a prisoner of war, held by the corrupt Techno-Federation that controls the undergrounds of the planet. Though he much prefers the undergrounds compared to the hellish surface above.

It has been six months since the War for Below came to a sudden halt. Crawlers have destroyed the world, claiming the surface as their own. Their invasion of the planet led to chaos for both sides. Freedom Fighters desperate to get refugees in underground bunkers, Techno-Federation officials greedy in saving advanced weaponry over their own citizens.
Aidan is one of the lucky ones. He gets to spend the rest of his life in a labor prison, building weapons for the corrupted Techno-Federation. Anything to be away from the surface.

Though his luck has run dry. The Techno-Federation is out of resources, troops, and time. They are losing The Crawler War. Crawlers are on the verge of world domination, and the Techno-Federation knows that their tyrant rule is coming to an end. Aidan is dragged from his prison cell to be told he must return to the surface. Not for banishment, not for punishment, but as the last hope to exterminate the crawlers from the planet. Crawlers are planning an attack on the last known medical facility run by the Techno-Federation. This facility is constructing a bio weapon that can exterminate the crawlers. Aidan must race across the surface to warn them about the attack and extract the weapon. He then must rush to Outpost 512 where the disseminator is and deploy it.

In a race against time, Aidan must face his inner demons created from the civil war before the invasion and find a way to face the perils of the surface alone... or so he thought.
