Apocalypse V: Universe of the Damned (storyline)

"Everything you know... is a lie."

- Tagline Apocalypse V: Universe of the Damned is the fifth and final installment of the Apocalypse saga.

Overview
Apocalypse V: Universe of the Damned, unlike the four other Apocalypses, containes the psychological and horror genres. Daniel Smith, the creator, has said that the storyline borrows the basic overall synopsis from the film Shutter Island. Smith has commented on the early release of the storyline, saying: "I know it's way too early for the release, as I am not yet even half way done with Apocalypse IV, but I couldn't help myself. There was overwhelming urge to leak it."

Synopsis
A man awakens from a chair inside the Pentagon. There are many computer screens around him, each of them displaying different numbers. He looks above him and notices that there are two darkened figures within a dimly lit room. "Who are you people? What do you want from me?" he asks. One of them responds, using a voice changer, "The numbers, [the name of the man will remain secret], that's all we've ever wanted." "I'm trying to help you!". "Then listen, for God's sake listen again!". The numbers begin playing. After the sequence is over, the man looks up and shakes his head. "Forget it! He's worthless" yells the second man. "He just needs to remember," replies the other man. "There's no time," he says, "the strike is imminent. We gotta get to the bunker. We're at DEFCON 4!". "I'm staying," says the man. "You wanna die with him? You're choice!", the other man says angrily as he storms off. There is a five second pause. "Dammit!" screams the remaining man in the room, "Why can't you remember? The world is on the fucking brink of war! Just fucking remember!". "I can't!" shouts the man sitting in the chair.
