Nature of the Beast is the thirteenth chapter of Resistance 3.
Synopsis[]
After having safely brought Jonathan Rose and reuniting him with Jean, the train is repaired. Wishing the Roses best of luck, Joseph and Malikov resume their journey to New York City.
During the journey, Malikov takes a moment to express to Joseph his regrets for making "horrific things" from the Cloven to Daedalus, before revealing that there is little chance that they will succeed in their mission. Four years ago the SRPA launched a failed attack on the New York tower in which they lost over a thousand men. However, Joseph is undeterred by the news as he believes they are doing their best. Malikov concurs and explains that humanity still has a chance; he elaborates his thoughts on the Chimera's dependency on the hive mind in which they have no thought beyond what the hive mind orders them. Therefore he sees an opportunity to exploit this against them.
Malikov's explanation is suddenly ended when they see a man crying for help before he is cut down by a machete-wielding man in a speeding vehicle. The man's killer, Mick Cutler, the leader of a gang of ex-convicts called the Wardens, commands his men to attack the train. As Malikov takes control of the train, Joseph fends off the Wardens' assault. Their train soon crosses into a field occupied by herds of Widowmakers, which they trample into the Wardens' vehicles and derail the train. Joseph and Malikov survive the crash but the former is trapped underneath a train wheel. Malikov tries to help Capelli, but he is attacked and killed by Mick, who then knocks Joseph unconscious.
