Soul Crystal Incident

"Man, Russia was great until everything fell apart, wasn't it, Paramedic?"

- Wolf

Beginnings
One night, Wolf was traveling with Gamekid through the subway, when he stumbled into some strange blood symbols. Wolf would spend some time trying to figure out what they meant, until eventually the word was ushered, Anastasia. It would open up the soul crystal chamber, as Wolf and Gamekid would look at it in Amazement. After a while, Gamekid would feel strange essence seeping into him, Wolf unaware at the time just what this meant. Then, Force ran into the soul crystal, and Atomic did as well. This is where the incident began.

Tension
After the soul crystal was found by Force and Atomic, its popularity suddenly had an explosion, every major faction knowing about it and wanting its power, this lead to chaos and conflict over it. Blood was spilled as Force threatened to use its power to create an outbreak, even though nobody knew just how the crystal worked. Golden Corp and USMC decided to team up to solve this problem once and for all. Wolf assisted the USMC in their efforts to gain control over the crystal and Barricade it off, Turrets were set up, Barbed wire was placed. And the whole area was under complete lock down. But this would not hold forever, as such as all things.

Bloodbath
It was a silent day for St Petersburg, as suddenly gunshots would ring out, citizens rushing anywhere they could. This was Hydras assault on the crystal, and it begun in bloodshed. Citizens shot down in the crossfire as Golden Corp and USMC rushed to their positions. Wolf rushed to cover, and gunned down Hydra soldiers as blasts echoed throughout the subway. Utter chaos would begin to break out above ground as bullets rained through the streets, death all around. And the crystal fed off this death, this demise. This war fed it. And the crystal was almost ready for its final act. As Hydra was beaten back, it was assumed everything was resolved and that the issue was dealt with. USMC charted it up as a victory, and believed no more conflict would happen.

They Were Wrong.

Outbreak
In an instant a few days later, Gamekid had fallen, coughing, out of nowhere infection had struck him. The soul crystal was making its move. Citizens would be unaware until many of them were already infected, St Petersburg was having its own outbreak and people were getting infected rapidly. It had even summoned a boss zombie which obliterated a few USMC bases. Everything was getting bleak and there was only one choice left, Russia was too dangerous, the soul crystal proved that. So evacuation was made for canada.
