I was put through many tests and machines that would make me stronger, smarter, faster, and a couple other things that would give me a couple more senses. A normal human being has five senses. I have seven. I'm now able to use telekinetic abilities, and I'm also able to read any living beings mind. Anyways off topic.
<====>
"Squad number 4551, gear up and get ready for deployment!" the intercom roared. I sat up from my cot and slowly made my way to the mirror, where I stood, for three straight minutes. I was staring at my scarred, crippled face and torso, thinking of all the bad times. I sighed sadly and walked away from the mirror, and towards my military shirt. I put it on and started to jog towards the armoury. Once I got there I could hear voices from the other side of the door.
"I feel bad for Ajax man... he's gone through so much in such little time..." Simon. Always the sympathetic type.
"Yea. But what's done is done." Drake. Kind of a douche.
"C'mon guys. We can't sit around forever." Dakota. My brother, always pushy.
"Yea. We leave in 15." Josh. The agreeable one.
"Guys shut up...I think those shots had something in it..." Ivan. The 'I'll-do-it-for-money' type.
I walked in and suited up. We all wear the same amour (As shows in the cover art.) so we have to put are numbers on are armour. Or you could just decorate it. Like Simon. He has " BROTHERS IN ARMS: id carry you through the flames of hell. My flesh burned to the bone. Through the places were the demons dwell, you'll never be alone. We are brothers, now and always." written on his chest piece.
We got are weaponry and left the armoury to the vehicle bay. "Hey Ajax? You hadn't said anything since yesterday. You ok?" Simon asked.
"I'm fine. Just a lil nervous about searching a new planet is all."
"Me to... Maybe we'll find life?" I nodded then shrugged. We continued are way to the bay while soldiers ran/jogged passed us in groups. When we finally arrived, are dropship was ready for take off.
"Corporal!" I turned around to find a Private running up to me. "General Rodríguez wanted me to give this to you." as he was talking he was taking a revolver out of his holster. As he was taking it out I looked at its design and saw that it was a modified revolver. Onyx black, explosive rounds, and a floral paintjob on the handle. I thanked him and took it.
"Woah... that's generals favourite weapon!" Drake says with awe. I roll my eyes and holster the weapon before continuing to the ship. Once we arrived we got on and we took off.
<==2 hours later==>
"Are we there yet?!" Drake groans when his answer is a no.
"Space travel takes time." I say. Just as I finish the intercom in the dropship turns on.
"Arriving at destination in..." the pilot gave a slight hesitation "...30 minutes." that earned another groan from Drake. "Feel free to view the planet though. Quite beautiful." The intercom turns off and the sealed windows slide open showing us the planet.
"Damnnn." Simon, and Ivan say in unison. I chuckle and lean against the wall. As I'm there I can see Drake plying with the camera over his shoulder.
<==20 minutes later==>
"You know what I'm gonna ask." Drake says, he is so damn impatient.
"Yea. You said it 20 minutes ago. Yes we're here." Simon says with a sigh face palming. The dropship slows and we feel a slight bump.
"We have reached your destination boys. Gods speed men." with that the door slides open and we jump out into a snowy terrain. "I SAW WHAT LOOKS LIKE A PALACE NORTH FROM HERE! GO SEE IF YOU CAN GET INFO!" the pilot yelled over the intercom. The blizzard making it hard for us to hear her. I waved, and she took off.
"Alright men. We have a mission, and I expect you to complete it. We have to search the area and see if we can get any info from the locals. Any questions?" I smiled when no one raised there hands. "Great." I cocked my Suppressed Kriss vector.
"Think they're dangerous?"
"if they are we can handle em" we started walking north were the palace was seen. Little did we know... there was a surprise waiting for us.
We walked through the blizzard, are guns clanking against are armour. "Damn... even with my armour its f-freezing..." Dakota said with chattering teeth I nodded, and continued walking.
BOOM
"What the fuck?" We started jogging towards the explosion. "There! Palace! Its being attacked!" Simon was right. There a mile ahead of us is a tower bigger than the empire state building... made of crystal... and it was being attacked by what seemed to be a mist. A black mist with green and purple eyes.
"Okay! Here's the plan! We're gonna see if we could get close enough to that thing and place a mortar beacon. Once the beacons placed we gotta tether it to the ground so it won't get away!" Once I finished they saluted and ran towards the palace. And more importantly... the mist.
<==Twilight's POV==>
"Princess Twilight! Sombra is almost through what do we do!" A frightened crystal guard asked.
"I...I don't know." she honestly didn't. She threw everything she had at Sombra. Only a miracle could save them now. "Gather our troops and send them to their family. Spend the rest of your time with relatives. We aren't getting through thi~" She was cut off as a large metal creature smashed through the window landing in front of her and the guard. The creature slowly got up and looked around, not noticing us.
"What the fuck." It spoke. It stood up and dusted its self off before sprinting towards its entry point, and jumping through the broken window.
<==Corporal Becketts POV.==>
The mist had thrown Drake into the palace, causing him to smash through the window. I was worried for the lil' prick, but my worries were relieved when Drake jumped through the broken window
