Meanwhile, in Sauron's head...

Sauron stood up. He was standing in Bay Five, alone. He heard screams, and then laughter further in the ship, He opened the door of the elevator, and a wave of blood spilled out. Sauron fought through the stinking tide and entered the lift, just as it stopped on the bridge. The Ranger entered, only to find a horrific sight: the bodies of every member of the Platoon, including Scythe, Karak, and Easy Company. And standing atop them: Avgust. The Vanguard held a bloody rifle in his hand, and a black fog seemed to stream from his armor. The fog trailed across the room, surrounding yet another figure: the twisted form of a Warlock, whose robes bore the Mark of the Trinary Star. Just as Sauron stepped forward, the Warlock waved a hand, and Avgust raised the rifle, aiming his weapon toward the Exo.

"You. Sauron. What are you doing here?"

The Ranger ground his teeth.

"Avgust. I knew it. You murdered them all. Why? Why would you- *ggurk*"

The Exo felt a knife ram through him as the Dark Avgust appeared in front of him.

"It's simple, you fool. Power. Power to save all of us. By embracing what you fear, what you are too small-minded to understand. I can control these foul creatures of the Dark, and cement my place as a hero. I can wipe them out, for I know their powers. And then? Humanity can arise under the bannner of a new Vanguard. My banner."

Sauron's vision went black as Avgust fired.

And then he woke up, screaming.
