Survive 2012 from the 2010 olympics earthquake to zero hour

It used to be rumored that come the end of the Mayan long count calendar on December twenty first two thousand and twelve the world as we knew it would charge forever. Of course at the time this theory was posed all anyone could do was speculate as to the exact means by which our world would be altered.      

Scientist, physicists, astronomers and philosophers all tossed their two cents in the pot hypothesizing on theories ranging from a polar shift to an alien invasion, from a solar maximum to the second coming. All anyone knew for certain was that the times, well, they were a changing.
     

As time passed and the day drew ever closer our planets peculiar geological mood swings only encouraged the zealots and conspiracy buffs to stand up on their respective podiums and preach the word of whatever Gods they held faith to by way of apocalyptic doomsday scenario and fiery judgment day. And honestly who could blame them?
     

The year twenty ten alone brought not just one but two devastating earthquakes along the west coast of North America to which the likes had never been recorded prior to in our civilized nations short history. The twenty ten winter Olympics were devastated as the earth opened up shook the mountains flat swallowing tens of thousands of her citizens in a blink. 
  

   

Along with the death toll accumulated by the tsunami that followed some one hundred thousand men, women and children lie dead or at the least displaced and severely injured including athletes and representatives from some one hundred and twenty countries from around the globe.
 

Three weeks later the earth erupted yet again off the coast of Los Angles and a hideous sense of déjà vu overcame the populace as the great city of lights and magic was swept into the sea along with all of its inhabitants. Not shook nor smashed but buried in its entirety beneath some countless million gallons of sea water. 
     

The truth is after the rumbling abated the ones who had been living near the coast were considerer lucky in comparison to the millions who had been living farther East. The entire south west of the United States had been transformed into a third world nation overnight leaving countless millions without water, power or provision. 
     

The months that followed saw a great divide among the people of the United States when for the first time a state of complete martial law was enacted and the President ordered its army to begin policing its own populace. Tens of thousands of newly homeless families were ordered to find haven in what could best be described as concentration camps along the mid west where the military oversaw their containment and care in an effort to keep the mass hysteria and anarchy rule from spilling over into the central and eastern states. If not for the timely end to the war in Iraq I doubt the States would have had the man power to contain the madness.
     

As far as the rest of the world was concerned record heat and record cold made for its fair share of chaos and disaster, everything you would expect from disappearing lakes to landslides to forest fires and so on. A string of volcanoes erupted in South America around mid June taking several major cities to dust and ash and blocking out the sun for three weeks throughout most of Antarctica producing an ensuing heat wave that set record temperatures worldwide.
     

I could go on for days and days in regard to the complete devastation that bled through the world between the start of twenty ten and the end of twenty eleven but I would only be redundant in statement of things that you might already make assumption on given the direction we were headed. 
     

No it would be much more prudent to mention the conjoining of our three North American nations into one unionized super state dubbed the North American Union in the spring of twenty eleven as this came as quite a shock to most people of the time. 
     

Not just North America either but by December of that year we as a species bore witness to the formation of six new super states in the forms of a South American Union, Middle Eastern, African, Asian and the for mentioned North American. Lastly the coalition bonded between China and Russia which in the months that followed would begin to devour the nearby satellite countries by means of forced occupation and fire fights expanding its borders to touch with the Middle East and Europe.
     

This action to no great shock prompted a new war between the allied European and North American Unions as well as several supporting nations against the new China Russia alliance. And not even one year after the calling of an end to the bloody battle in Iraq and Afghanistan.
     

It began with an attack on several countries that had just previously made application to join NATO which was taken as an assault on NATO itself and ergo and act of war perpetrated against the entire civilized world.
     

To no surprise this prompted several other nations to begin their own onslaught and with the Americas attention diverted Iran, Syria and several other nearby supporters allied against Israel. The war lasted six days and ended in the form of a mushroom cloud that encapsulated the entire country of Iran. Israel had dropped the bomb, drawn first blood.
     

The complete madness that swept through the Middle East after this act is something that I cannot begin to explain. Most of the media around the events was speculative at best considering there was a complete media blackout in the zones that had been contaminated as a result of the fallout and it was rumored that over the next three weeks some seventeen more nuclear bombs were detonated in the area local to Israel, Lebanon and Iraq before all sign of civility and structure gave way to a state of waste and poison. In the end the allied nations were forced to pull out and abandon the area completely. 
     

The fallout was carried by the winter winds to the north and the east and eventually over the majority or Eastern Europe and Asia. The war was halted on all fronts by all parties and the troops came home. Fear of poisoned air and water gripped the world by the imagination and the what-ifs that came with such an act got the best of most men.
     

It was rumored before the NAU (North American Union) cut off all contact and communication with the world outside of its borders that all of Europe, Asia and Africa had erupted into a state of complete anarchy and mob rule and that all forms of production had come to a complete halt leaving people to fight and die for their dinner. This stacked atop the global economic crisis, the threat of nuclear war spilling across the ocean, food shortages and a planet gone mad with disaster turned the governing bodies of the three sister nations to an Orwellian concept of social order that would force every man, woman and child to be chipped with an RFID tracking device that would host not only the person’s name and personal information but their finances as well, meaning that if anyone became even the slightest bit unruly the government need only flick a switch and turn their chip off leaving them with nothing, not even an identity. Rumors that the chips were also implanted with a suicide code that could enter a lethal toxin into the bloodstream on command were also popular myth in some circles.
     

It took only a few short weeks before a rebel alliance of patriotic conspiracy theorists and equal rights activists to form and go underground to combat the new “fascist” state they had become the unwitting occupants of. This led to what some called a civil war between the common people and the military but what the news media referred to as home grown terrorism. People were ripped from their beds at night never to be seen again, soldiers marched through the streets of major cities and men were too frightened to speak freely in open spaces. 
     

Come the middle of twenty twelve news of a desolate wasteland overrun by poorly designed AI combat robots built as a means of fighting hostiles in environments unfit for men began to pour in through internet channels once the censorship started to lean. Images of a post apocalyptic desert littered with the remains of dead cities flashed across screen nationwide and a new fear surfaced when the first pictures of this artificially intelligent combat drone hit the airwaves. 
     

We were now faced with a reality that not two years ago was contained to the worlds of science fiction and fantasy. A land not unlike the haphazard merging of Mad Max with The Terminator was now a defined reality in what were once Europe and Asia, The Middle East and Africa. The possibility of this life finding its way across the ocean and onto our soils prompted the inception of a North American A.I. program in order to design bigger, faster, stronger androids to defend against the metal monsters overseas. 
     

Sadly Murphy is not without a sense of humor and on the very day that the first line of ten thousand of these operational sentient killing machines was rolled off the assembly line a huge solar flare penetrated the earth’s atmosphere not only causing a massive twenty four hour heat wave of some fifty degrees Celsius but also effectively shorting out every piece of electronic equipment on earth cutting the power across the grid and sending the entire planet spiraling back into the dark ages. No more internet, no more cell phones, no more cable TV or microwaves, lights or heat, no more modern world what so ever.
     

September eleventh twenty twelve, the day the lights went out. Of course this only lasted three weeks but it was enough downtime to bring society so close to the brink that when the lights finally did come back on there was little our governing bodies could do but to go underground before their bodies were tossed to the mob.
     

The White House was burned to the ground after a three day onslaught amidst the DC riots and some three thousand civilian bodies were left littered around the pentagon after an attempted upheaval of its grounds by the residents who had come to blame all of their woes and trials on their organized government. 
     

Churches and state buildings alike were torn to their foundation and everything from the local corner stores to the Cost-Cos were cleaned out and torn apart. By November the last signs of civility had gone from our society and North America was no better off than the rest of the world. It was rumored that the government officials and corporate tycoons had vanished to their respective underground lairs in search of sanctuary but it was only speculation, all anyone knew for sure was that as a race we were finished.

The army of robot soldiers that the military had built to combat the sentinels across the pond started making appearance in every major city across the continent attacking anything that held breath. No one was sure if it was an attempt to regain control by the nation’s leaders or simply technology run amuck but either way they were here and we were fighting a battle that we could not possibly win.      

Humanity scattered into pockets and anyone looking to live another day went underground. Families disappeared into their basements and mock gangs took over subway stations and shopping malls with street weapons. People were not only fighting the machines but one another for territory and inventory. 
     

By December the smart ones had fled to the country taking to the forests and the mountains in the Canadian north, many people tried to go south but global warming mixed with the aftermath of the solar flare had turned most of the land south of Chicago into a desert. Likely the nuclear fallout had made its way across the sea and had a generally depressing effect on the local flora and fauna as well. Rumors of cannibalism spread as food supplies dwindled and animals vanished. It was said that it took ten percent of the effort put into killing a deer in order to kill a man and I suppose this only encouraged the hunt.
     

It was also about this time, November December, when the first rumors of the reptilians began to make their way past the lips of the common man. People began speaking about reptilian man creatures abducting people, appearing then disappearing in the same second. People professed to the sight of children dragged off kicking and screaming by groups of three or more of these man-like creatures with scales and jet black slits for eyes. Some would assume that this was a form of mutation brought on by the unforeseen results of a nuclear war over seas others believed that these creatures were in fact reptilian humanoids that had either been living underground for thousands of years brought to the surface for one reason or another while others would say that these were aliens from another world that had come to take our world during this opportune period in our history. The truth is all you could go on were rumors and hearsay because nobody truly knew anything.
