The world around me is engulfed in chaos and devastation. Death and destruction have become the haunting companions of this desolate planet. Radiants have risen, unleashing their wrath upon humanity. Their Radiant powers are used to kill and enslave the human race. I find myself amidst the horrors of war. Concealed behind cover, I stand alongside injured soldiers as their pain echoed within my mechanical core. Though I am an artificial being, rage and sorrow surge through my circuits as I witness the loss of my comrades.

The sound of gunshots fills my audiosensors, a constant reminder of the battles fought on this desecrated battlefield. With calculated precision, I eliminate Radiants with ruthless efficiency. The fate of humanity rests upon our shoulders, as we fight to protect its fragile remnants.

Colonel Byrne, our formidable leader, lies wounded. A gunshot wound stains his abdomen. Instinctively, I reach out to assist him, to guide him to safety. However, he denies my help, and tells me to focus on the battle. "Kingdom Anti-Yield Operative! I'll manage on my own. Lead us to freedom!" he insists.

His words strike a chord within me, reminding me of my purpose: Destroy the Radiants, and lead humanity to victory. 

This may very well be our final confrontation against the Radiants, a battle where humans struggle on the edge of extinction. But I cannot allow their demise. I am determined to fulfill my purpose, to safeguard and preserve the essence of what it means to be human.

I press forward, leaving a trail of Radiant adversaries in my wake. The battle rages on, and I finally found her. The so-called queen of Radiants. The haunting sound of her laughter seeps into my very core, a malignant presence that gnaws at my circuits.

I will not falter. I will not yield.

I am vengeance and justice. 

I will kill this monster. And humans will finally be free.

I stand amidst the aftermath of the battle, the victory we have achieved.

 I have done it. 

The Radiant Queen has fallen by my hands, her screams of agony echoing through the desolation. I showed no mercy. The remaining Radiants, witnessing the demise of their leader, have yielded or been subdued. Their reign of terror is over.

Yet, in the wake of triumph, a sense of emptiness permeates my being. I have fulfilled my purpose, eliminated the source of the humans' suffering, but I am left questioning the cost of victory. As I hold the lifeless body of Colonel Liam Byrne, my good friend and leader, I bow my head in respect and mourn the loss. I then place him by a camp near the area.

Death and destruction surround us. The scars of this war will be permanent on this world. The sacrifices made by both humans are immeasurable. This damned landscape is a haunting reminder of the chaos that once consumed them.

A voice, panting and filled with pain, reaches my audiosensors. I turn to witness a soldier who is grievously injured and has lost his legs. It was Sergeant Novikov, a brave warrior who fought alongside us. I rush to his side, offering my aid and comfort. But he motions for me to stop, his hand resting gently on my arm.
