The Sergeant

"You just don't get it do you? They never came for me. I was tortured. My face isn't what it looks like anymore. Think Shiki! Think!"
- The Sergeant (as Crossbones)
"Oh well..If I die, at least I'd known I had fun."
- Joshua BassThe Sergeant, real name Joshua Bass, is one of the main protagonists in the LDC conflicts who was formerly a sergeant of the 77th US Rangers before being captured and tortured to become the cold-hearted Crossbones who was actually a clone of Joshua's resentment towards Patche. You can tell it's him by his burnt face or his skull mask. (Notice: Throughout this article, Josh and Sarge will be used interchangeably to refer to the same person)
== History ==
Born into a military household, Josh's dad was a CIA agent while his grandpa and uncles were in the military. During one fateful day, when he was going out with his family to a park for a picnic, his mom was accidentally assassinated by Sergio Iricanus who was supposed to assassinate Josh's dad. This left a huge scar on him as it haunts him for life down the road. His dad later vanished and growing up Josh later worked as sargeant in the US Rangers earning his nickname The Sarge. He then met Patche Shiki Iricanus during one of his mission, ultimately changing his whole course of event and his life. After Patche betrayed him and order multiple attacks on him leading to him being presumed dead, he was captured by Mr. BoneHead and the Figures and his anger and resentment towards Patche's betrayal was made into a clone that was called Crossbones. Josh was later released out of captive and continue on with his life. After encountering an LDC FOB, he later joined the LDC in secret after receiving a lunarian card that turned him into a Lunarian associate made by Mr. BoneHead. Josh later manages to find Patche again and the two got together and dated after Patche felt bad for betraying Josh.
== Events ==
Employed in 19XX, Sarge started as a private or a cadet of the US Rangers. He was also part of the 2/5th SFG for a bit. He was determined to become a sergeant to lead his fellow rangers into battle whenever conflict started. He quickly raised through the ranks and became sergeant of the 3rd Squadron of the 77th US Rangers. During the invasion of Orenji of the Moon War, Sarge supposedly stayed behind to capture a coalition of LDC troops retreat. He ordered the captured LDC troops onto a plane that was headed for the US. But Raph who was supposed to go with the rest of the 2/5 Marine back to base decides to join Sarge's 3rd Squadron and stayed behind in Orenji to help escort the captured troops. The Sergeant and Raphael then were stuck in a guerilla warfare against the LDC reinforcement landing in Orenji Jungle before hijacking a plane to escape Orenji, abandoning the captured troops. Later Sarge and Raph stayed at a new base in Izo before the new base was attacked by LDC and most of the soldiers were killed there. Sarge and Raph were presumed dead until later in the story.
== Resurgence ==
During peaceful times, a CIA agent had a disturbing encounter with a figure, all in tactical gear with a skull mask. The figure then reveals his face to be a burnt version of Sarge's face. Thus, this began an investigation of how Sarge survived or what happened to him. Sarge's clothing revealed no insignias or symbol to any group or military but in a VHS tape he left behind, it was confirmed that it was recorded by Sarge himself. Now beginning the VHS tape recording.
"When I woke up, I was strapped to a table."
"I tried getting out, but it was no use. I waited there for 2 hours until a figure came through the door. He was wearing a mask... It was like a deer or an elk skull mask. He turned on a blowtorch and moved it close to my face. I began to panic. I started shaking and then...I don't know what else but satisfaction. I passed out after 20 minutes of torture. I woke up at an unknown time. There wasn't a clock around and I was unstrapped. The figure was watching me in a chair. I got up but I never had the urge to fight him. He gave me a mirror. He said, 
'When I found you, you were merely weak. I fixed what they couldn't.' 
I didn't know what that meant but I decided that was better than being left for dead. My face was burnt. All crisped up. The figure gave me a skull mask and said, 
'From now on, you are now Crossbones'. 
I gave in. He taught me so many things people won't know. He said that this group was the only sane thing that existed and the outside world is a burning fuse that leads to the end of time. I became his man. The perfect guy.
He told me that he had an inside man named 'Caden'. The name sounds so familiar because it is Caden. THE Caden that served along with that Shiki bastard. I had snapped when I learned that Shiki did in fact leave me for dead. My revenge will soon impact the world as they would see the real Monsters that will carnage the world over time. This is not the end."
End of recording.
== Torture... ==
Sarge (as Josh) woke up in the middle of the city streets. Looking around he sees people. For the first time since... wait... how did he get there? It was like he was stuck in an infinite loop. With the few choices he had, he tried to seek for help. Ultimately coming across Caden. But Caden wasn't himself. It was like he was more serious and dressed different. Sarge never told Caden what he woke up to. Caden decided to drag Sarge on a mission. But the two were unfortunately separated after being ambushed by an illusion of Kyle. Forced to go solo and explore a Lunar Defense Corps FOB, what Sarge encountered was disturbing.
== Two for one ==
We enter an age of modern era. The US is fighting in Afghanistan with only a small percent of the real military going into action against the Taliban. While the rest dock and wait on station when the LDC attacks or the US invades. Josh is more of a agent and a independent operative. While having a relationship with Shiki he normally spends time in his modern apartment in NYC. Crossbone on the other hand watches the chaos unfold and wait for the time to strike once given orders to do so.
