Indestructible

INDESTRUCTIBLE INSIDE

Prologue: Ambush

  I gaze upon the window next to my bed, wondering what else is out there other than the alien terrorist I fought against. Suddenly I was caught off guard as the intercom announced “Mark Blade report to control station as soon as possible.” I groaned in annoyance, knowing that this wouldn’t end well.

Getting up from my bed, I rushed to the door and paced through the halls into the armory. I figured if I were not in uniform, my co-workers would look at me funny.

As soon as I got to the armory, the gunsmith greeted me. “Good evening commander.” He said. “Evening” I replied with a serious tone. The gunsmith then asked me why I needed to retrieve my suite.

I simply replied “well you heard the intercom right?” he then said “Yes but why do you need your suit?” “Do you think I am going to report there like this?” I said while walking in armory.

He then said “Good point. Here, you are going to need this.” He then gave me a key to my armory vault. “Give that back when you’re done.” He said. I nodded in agreement.

He tossed me the key and I walked off to my vault. When I approach my vault, I inserted my key in the lock and the vault opened revealing my personal items. I quickly put on my uniform, loaded my weapons, return my key to the gunsmith, and head straight for my destination.

I was attire in a fully armored suit with ammo compartments on my waist, two mechanical grappling hooks on my right arm that is built in my suit’s right arm, a chiseled and thick torso that resemble somewhat of human’s muscular abdomen and a built in jet pack on my back, two triangular robes, one on each side of my waist that span from my waist to half way to my calf, a helmet with a visor and a mouth guard covering my face while the rest of my head is covered in with metallic armor that is also chiseled in a artificial way, and the entire suit is colored in blue decals with white.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             After a few minutes navigating through the halls, I finally reach my destination. When I got there, I was greeted by my co-workers.

“Good evening commander; we have an urgent transmission coming from galaxy 652.” As I viewed the holographic map zooming in on the galaxy, something was off.

The distress call was a beacon and it was glowing but it was also dim. I snapped back to reality when one of my co-workers asked “Sir what do we do? We are the closest to the distress call, but is it worth the risk?” It took me a minute to answer but after thinking, I respond back.

“Very well, everyone prepare to go to galaxy 652; we got a job to do.” I said still having second thoughts about going to the location.

Soon enough, we were ready for travel. By my command, the ship started to move and accelerate towards its destination.

When we arrived, something felt… off. There was no indication of life and no artificial structures.

That is when an alien star ship came from behind and realization hit me.”IT’S AN AMBU-“Before I could finish, a loud explosion shook the ship and it came from the aliens.”Sir Engine 1 and 3 are dead!!!” One of my co-workers said “Contact for reinforcements.” I said while in frustration.

“I can’t, signal’s dead too!” “Damn it, they planned their attack well!” Then another loud explosion set off but this time it came from the side of the ship.“Prepare the ship for defensive mode, now!” “Yes sir.” The co-worker said while typing. I exited the room, sprinting through the halls as I saw the alien next to our ship at a large distance.

At that moment, the intercom announced “Everyone go to your battle station, this is not a drill!” I arrived at the hanger when I saw the enemy already infiltrated the hanger.

They were completely robotic and they have metallic plating all over them, they are completely dark gray and they had a single red mechanical eye. They weren’t so lucky when a group of 8 marines spotted them and started to attack.

I rushed towards the battlefield and hid behind cover from the barrage of projectiles firing back and forth. “Commander, would you mind helping us out?!?!” shouted one of the marines hiding in cover “Gladly.” I said before I came out of cover and pulled out my pistol, shooting one of the aliens that came out of cover on the head.

I hid strait into cover after that. “Nice shot.” Another marine said while came out of cover; however he was shot by multiple enemies. I watched as he fell backwards revealing scorch marks all over his torso. As I came to him, more and more of my soldiers fell in the same condition as the first to get shot. I tried firing back but there were so many. Eventually all of the marines died and the reinforcements died as soon as they came.“That’s it; you all are going to die!!!” I said infuriated. I came out of cover charging at them with all my speed.

Before they could react, I tackled one of them and stabbed him with one of my hidden blades under the forehead killing him instantly. Now it is time to kill them all. I immediately got back up to punch one of the alien’s robotic abdomens and he started to flying across the hanger. Another threw a punch but I avoided it and punched his face off. 3 more started charging at me when I used one of my supernatural abilities. I used one of my abilities (force palm: basically a sonic boom in your hand) and forced the 5 to launch backwards into a wall. The remaining 4 were shooting at me but I didn’t care because I dodged all the projectiles and launched my grappling hooks to an alien’s waist and with his arm strength, flung the alien to the left, launching him through the hanger entrance and back into space.

3 were left, but yet I proceeded to charge once more. After a quick glance, I saw two captains (I can tell because of their different metallic structure, not to mention their height difference, both of them carrying strange swords.)

One of the captains lunged at me and attempted to impale me. As soon as he swung his blade, I easily dodge the attack and punched through his gut. When I pulled out my arm, the captain was spewing out neon blue liquid from his chest and the hole I made. ‘Now was my chance’ I thought. While the captain was trying to recover, I grabbed his weapon out of his grasp and sliced his head off, decapitating him and falling to the metal floor shortly after striking him.

The other captain took me by surprise when his sword came into view, trying to cut me in half. Fortunately, I retaliated by swinging the sword to block his attack. He nearly killed me but I acted quickly. With my leg, I jabbed his gut with my knee.

He then grunted and bent over to cover his stomach with his hand. I then sliced his left knee, causing him to kneel down. As soon as he did, I came from behind and with my blade, sliced and snapped his neck. When he fell, I grabbed his blade and store them to both my left and right of my waist.

There was only one enemy left. Desperately, it was shooting at me yet almost missing every time. One managed to hit him but only scraped my shoulder pad. When he ran out of ammo, the last alien stepped back slowly. I then threw my knife into his head. “Finally… I killed… them all.” I said while panting.

I then viewed the enemy ship severely damaged. I smirked thinking ‘We might get out this.’ That thought was soon erased as the ship was shaking uncontrollably.

The ship was then slowly leaning and approaching the enemy ship and the alien ship did this as well. “I need to head back to the control station” I said while sprinting.

As I was running, I saw a black hole forming between my ship and the alien ship. I was then launched towards space by a big explosion behind me.

I was in space, struggling to go back but the explosion damaged my jet pack and the black hole was pulling me towards it. All I could do was watch as my ship collided with the alien ship as they explode at the same time when they collided. I also saw debris of the ship, flying towards me. I tried to avoid but I couldn’t. As I am nearing the void, debris bombarded my suit.

Although the debris didn’t do much, a long and big metal beam hit my visor, causing it to crack severely. That blow to the head caused me to feel weary. The last thing I saw before I entered the void was the two vessels combusted in a huge ball of fire. Afterwards, I slowly lost consciousness.
