CHAPTER 1
Sunrise
The first thing he could see was a bright light in his eyes....
"Dang.....must've overslept." He said, tilting over to his right to face west, away from the light source. He felt himself falling and as he hit the ground, he realized that he had been in a tree all night long.....a fact that he was now starting to remember. he heard rustling in the brush beside him, and whirled about to face what ever was there, brandishing his cane dangerously in front of him. A small yellow chicken-like bird reveiled itself to him, completely unconcerned about the cane in his hands. It inclined its head at an odd angle to peer at him with black eyes, then chirped before begining to bend down and begin eating some kind of mushroom next to it, concidering him as no threat to itself. "....at least it isn't like some of the larger ones....." he said, checking his watch to see the time....7:45 AM, the watch read.
"I had better get moving, those jerks could show up any minute." he said to himself, remebering what had happened just hours before......
"GET HIM!! DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY!" Someone shouted behind him as he ran from several Armor clad sorldiers, pursuing him. He had managed to escape from them after they had attacked he and a couple of friends of his, as they were hanging out in one of the few areas on the surface of Ragol that the public was allowed to go to. They had split in several directions to throw off the pursuers, planning to meet back at the Teleport Station that lead to the ship once they had thrown of the pursuers.......He wasn't sure how the others were doing, but he heard several shouts and paniced voices from some of the attackers from something one of his friends, Sarah, had done...she was a Hunter in training, so she had some skill with weapons. She had probably ambushed them.
He saw something to his right, and he ducked as he ran, right under an outstreached android arm, Probably one of our 'friends"..... he thought sourly as he ran, already weaving around another person, this time a titanic titan of a Human Hunter, as tall as a mech (well, not really) who had showed themself by stepping in what they thought was his way......he mearly weaved around the human male who was too tall to reach him in time, as the Hunter discovered to his dismay as he lunged for his target, and his head whent into the branches of the pine tree the target had run under, the pineneedles slashing at his face and eyes....."HOLY FART!" the man shouted as he pulled back quickly to avoid flaying his face.
Their target whirled around and taunted them. "Oh, too bad! Maybe next time!" he shouted at them and spun around to run from them, into the wild growth of bushes and trees.....and right into a box....
"Wha-?! Whats that doing here!?" he said. He looked to see if they had seen where he had gone....they were looking in a bush several meters away....
He shrugged and opened the box. A cane of some sort, with the head of it pulsating a green color as it glowed. He grabbed the cane, then he saw another box, he opened that one too, finding a small beam pistol. He took that as well, but pocketed it, not wanting to use it unless he had no choice.....for example, something like what he had heard about being in the depths of the planet from overhearing conversations between Hunters and others....such as a Delsaber.....He had seen pictures of those things....and had seen a Hunter who wielded its left and right arms as a Shield and Saber...."Wasn't that guy named Adus?....yeah, I think that was it..." he said, as he sat for a moment, before one of the pursuers found him.............
A metal face with glowing, yellow eyes was staring right at him through the branches of a short tree. "I found y-" the android said before meeting the glowing end of his new cane, stunning it long enough for him to run.
He kept running until he could run no longer, then he had scrabbled up a large tree as fast as he could and hid in the upper branches, soon failing to remain awake and falling asleep.
He cleared the memory from his vision and began to attempt to find out where the blazes he was.....
He looked around to try to figure out if there was anything nearby that he could use as a landmark. He saw a wall with a tree just next to it. He climbed the tree and lept over the wall........landing right next to Sarah and David, suprising the heck out of them both. They both spun to face him, weapons they had found readied to attack if need be. "It's just me, you two....Nice weps guys." he said. "Where were you, Sean?" Sarah asked him. "Just having fun with our mutual 'friends'......what about you two?" he replyed. "Pretty much the same with me." Sarah said, "Yeah, same here too." David said.
"We found a Teleport Station nearby....we should get back to the ship now......we have been missing all night long." Sarah said, pointing just beyond a door to their north. "Good idea, lets get moving." Sean said.
They went through the door as it opened.....finding that they had company......
"Isn't that...!?" Sean asked. "Yeah.....it is...." David said, as they saw who was already there.......a red and white Android of unknown model....something never before seen on the Pioneer 2 or on Ragol............the same one they had seen just yesterday, right before their pursuers had come.......
"Targets verified, comencing hostilities." the android said in a female voice. Two energy blade were activated, coming out of its hands. "holy......fart!" the three humans said as one.
They readied their weapons, and got into battle stances as they saw the android aproach them, pause before them..........then leap clear over them and disappear through the door they had come through.........they stood and stared for a moment, then..as the shock of what had happened faded, they ran for the Teleport Station without further incident and used it to return to the ship.......
The light of the warp field engulfed them and they disappeared, already having arrived on the Pioneer 2 by the time to light began to fade..........
