WIJ: The Cadet's Honor

Chapter 1: Natives of the Program
I awoke in a mysterious strange forest dense with foliage. I looked up and I remembered how I got here. Shot down by ally force Frost Clan when I hijacked an enemy helicopter when we stole data from our enemies. How loyal they are to our cause cannot be compared to. They tailed us until they brutally shot us the tail of the chopper and sent us spiralling into the wild. I heard a groan as Latronic awoke as he felt the abuse the crash has given his body.
"Those cursed Frosties, couldn't they see my signal of us being friendlies?," Latronic said.
"
They we doing their job. They had every right to shoot us down," I replied.
"That's blasphemy," Latronic said. Moving onto different matters, it seemed to quiet with just the two of us. We realized the third and last member of the group, our captain, has not said anything to restrain our complaints. We look around as we saw him still in the seat of the destroyed chopper. Our captain lay still, leaning foward in his seat, his seatbelt still intact and holding him, as we tried to awaken him.
"Captain, get up, we need to get moving so the natives will not attack us in their territory." Our captain laid still as we helplessly tried to revive him. Nothing we did worked and all we thought was lost. Any given day, we would have been fine. But now isn't one of those days.
"Latronic, grab the bag of supplies, we have to move fast." The sun was setting a an alarming rate and if we didn't go soon, we would soon meet our worst fear out there. Natives of the Program.
"Alright, alright." Latronic grumbled, "The least you could do is make sure we have all the provisions because it's going to be a long journey." We trekked through the forest for hours to finally finding ourselves at the edge and entering a rocky biome.
We walked as the gravel crunched under our feet.
"I have a feeling we're nearing our own space." I said.
Latronic stopped walking, "How do you know?" I glanced at our surroundings.
"I was once a Sergeant of WIJ. A Cadet of Tier I as well. As a private, I led and held off a raid at an old fort, the first to be introduced to WIJ 2.0. The advanced programming our very own leader, SilentSwords, had done himself. But I went offline. I had been scammed of my leadership and dignity to an Officer and a Training Bot. This is the very place I went offline."**(Look at bottom of page later). As we walked we saw a strange outdated structure.
"Then what is this place?" Latronic asked.
"This is the old fort. Outpost Indigo 1.0." Vines twisted and wrapped on the walls. Spider webs hung on the crevices. Green grew everywhere. Roots ripped through the paved grounds. Water damage was everywhere and the walls crumbled in places. We moved our way into one of the places the wall crumbled.
Then Latronic spoke, "If very first fort had WIJ 2.0 programming, doesn't this one?"
"Correct, we can contact our superiors." I said
"Whatever happened to the very first fort?" Latronic questioned.
"I believe it was terminated. I think it was called, Celeste." I replied. We continued to walk in silence as we reached the communications tower.
"This is when we go home." I said. But I spoke to soon. With no sound at all, a dart stuck into Latronic's neck and he collapsed.
"Poison!" I looked about. Even if I couldn't see them, they were here. The Natives of the Program were here. My heart sunk as our chances of heading home slimmed.
We were done for. Until he showed up.
**Actually happened!
