How does tai die in gears of war

They entered it to find a teenage civilian trapped by wretches in a security cage, and they killed the wretches and freed him. He told Zeta that his name was Jace Stratton , and that no one else had made it to safety in the bank. Zeta headed upstairs with Jace, and when they looked outside, they could see the sky had gotten even more inked up, leaving only three hours until the until city was covered.

Jace asked what was going on, and Tai told him about how the Seeders could ink up the sky. They then saw a Corpser open a giant emergence hole outside the building, and witnessed General RAAM emerge alongside elite Locust troops.

As more and more tremors hit the city, Tai remarked that this was bad juju. Walker informed them that they had lost contact with the last evac checkpoint, and to get Jace to the evac convoy. After exiting the bank, Tai and the others cleared out a nest of snipers and a Mortar crew.

They then closed two emergence holes and killed two boomers, and entered an abandoned evac camp. They spotted Nemacyst over the convoy rendezvous point, and Walker informed them they needed to take out several seeders before the convoy arrived, and that the Onyx Guard had been deployed to the city.

They then reached the meeting point and found that the Gears there had been killed, and that there were three seeders in the street, supported by dozens of drones. As they fought, Valera yelled out that their weapons weren't hurting the seeders, and that they needed more firepower. Tai said they actually needed less, and just needed to hit them with a big rock by bringing down the building behind them.

Kim said it was a good idea, but they needed more than bullets to take down the columns supporting the building. They found Boomshot Grenade Launchers , and brought down the columns, which crushed the three seeders and cut off the emergence holes.

After Zeta finished off the remaining Locust, the convoy arrived, but they heard a loud thumping sound as well. Walker informed them a Brumak was inbound, and it smashed through the remains of the building they had brought down on the seeders. They used the boomshots to kill it as well, and brought Jace out of the building so he could leave with the convoy. He told them that his guardian, Dr. Gregory Wisen , was still at Ilima High School , and they promised to check it out and see if he or anyone else was still there.

Tai and the rest of Zeta headed for the high school, and Wisen informed them that it had been an evac center, but contact had been lost before they learned if everyone had been evacuated. Kim told the others that they would search it, but they had to be out before dark.

Tai remarked that he believed that darkness would come before night. They entered the school through an open side window, and found that many people had been living there.

Tai remarked that there were many signs of life, but nothing living, but Kim decided that they should search the entire school just in case. As they proceeded through the school, they heard various noises and possibly people moving about, and Tai called out for any civilians to not be afraid, and yelled for Wisen to come out. When they entered the basement, they were trapped by wretches in a flooded room, and Tai eagerly joined the others in fighting them off while JACK opened a door for them.

They then entered a courtyard where a Drone had set up with a One-Shot , and multiple emergence holes opened around them. They managed to survive the Locust onslaught and reach the doors to reenter the school. They heard more wretch noises when they entered the halls, and Tai commented they were toying with the Gears. They entered Wisen's office and killed the two wretches in there, and then fought off a large wave of them.

They then heard a recording from Wisen saying that everyone had gone to the gymnasium, and then to the orphanage. They decided to check the gym before leaving, and as they proceeded through the abandoned halls, Tai remarked that the silence in the school felt heavy. They entered the cafeteria and fought off a large wave of Tickers , and as they made their way through the tables, Valera said it made sense that Wisen had led people here for safety, since he was the principal.

Tai remarked that Jace had said they were close, like family. They exited the cafeteria and fought a group of Drones led by a Theron, and entered a classroom full of torn apart bodies. They then found the locker rooms, and discovered that if was full of webs and large eggs.

Valera wondered if they were Serapede webs, but Tai told her it would take a colony to make one this big, although Barrick said it might be a Giant Serapede. Barrick's suggestion was proven right a moment later when two Giant Serapedes attacked them, but they managed to fight them off along with several drone and a Mauler.

They then entered the gymnasium, but found everyone inside was dead, and Tai remarked that it was a sad resting place for the dead. They found a Berserker on the other side of the gym, and Tai yelled that bullets wouldn't work and they needed to flee. They managed to avoid her and escape outside, but the Berserker followed. They managed to defeat her by tricking it into running into cars, making them explode, and then shooting the Berserker while she was on fire and vulnerable.

Tai and the others headed for downtown Ilima, hoping to find other COG forces. They lost communication with Walker, and heard Seeders thumping in the distance. Kim decided they should hunt down and kill the Seeders to reestablish contact with command, and Tai remarked that it would be fun like hunting boar, except the Seeders were uglier. As they neared a parking lot, Tai remarked that it was unprecedented that night masked the day, and Valera said Ilima would be a graveyard soon.

As they entered the parking lot, they fought off a small wave of tickers, and closed two emergence holes, killing the Locust that emerged.

A Boomer then emerged from the nearby parking garage, but they killed it, and Barrick remarked that it was hard to believe that just used to complain about gridlock. Tai said many people complained about things they wished for later, and Barrick told Tai he would likely say that about him one day. They fought their way through the parking structure, killing many drones, Flame Grenadiers, and three Boomers.

They emerged out onto the street at Alpha Checkpoint, and found all the Gears dead, with Locust swarming around and a Seeder at the end of the street. They decided to split the Locusts attention along the street and rooftops, and Kim sent Tai with Barrick on their chosen path. They met up at the end of the street, defeated the Locust, and forced the Seeder underground. They found themselves outside of Ilima City Hall , and found nemacysts swarming over it. Kim decided that they should retake the building and use the Hammer of Dawn command post inside to destroy the Seeders.

As they entered the garden, Tai remarked that it was beautiful, and it was a shame it was defiled by the Locust. They encountered heavy resistance, facing off against multiple waves of drones supported by Reavers, Boomers, and Grinders, but they managed to preserver. They entered city hall and fought their way upstairs, and Tai worked with Kim and Valera to protect Barrick as he used the command center to destroy the nearby Seeders.

Once they were done, they headed to the back door of city hall, and reestablished contact with Walker. They learned the evacuation was over, but decided to investigate Wisen's orphanage and see if he was still alive. With twenty minutes left until the kryllstorm hit, they hurriedly cut though a construction site, and Tai commented that they had once dared to build their dreams. They defeated a large group of Locust within the site, and emerged onto a street near the orphanage.

They found Wisen and a small group of other civilians, including children, at the orphanage, and called in an APC to evacuate them. Tai and the others took cover and opened fire on the advancing Locust. As they cut down the last ones, Tai and the others heard Jace screaming no from behind them, and turned to see General RAAM had impaled Valera on his blade, killing her. More Locust approached over a bridge, and Tai joined the rest of Zeta, aided by Jace, in rushing over to fight them. However, the bridge was destroyed by RAAM, cutting them off from the orphanage.

They entered a courtyard and fought off a large group of Locust, including two Mauler Elites. Kim warned the others that their shields deflected bullets, which Tai remarked was a deadly combination combined with the flail. After defeating them, they proceeded down into the canal below the destroyed bridge, where they encountered a Theron Elite. After a long battle, they managed to defeat the Locust, and Tai remarked that time was fleeting, and they needed to get back to the orphanage.

They worked their way up a building beside the canal, and emerged down the street from the orphanage. They retook the courtyard in front of the building, and fought off several waves of Locust forces and RAAM, with him attacking the Gears both on foot and from his Reaver.

He failed, and joined the others aboard the Raven, which escaped Ilima through the last patch of clear sky above the city. Five years later, the war with the Locust continued to rage. Tai took part in the Evacuation of North Gate , where he was Col. Tai, who had the most faith, lost all hope.

Why because he couldn't stand it anymore. His mind was broken by the Locust. Just like Baird said User Info: alch3mist. Skorge and Tai battle eachother.

Ultimetly, Skorge wins and Tai was captured by the locust. While in captivity, the locust tortured him and he couldn't handle the pain.
