Hey yall, I finished the dead space series on the Xbox 360 backwards then forwards, and the tumblers in my mind started to turn. I thought what if a group of teenagers who loved the dead space series were kidnapped, and transported to the Ishimura before the infection started by Unitologists as a way to farm Marker data. This series will contain spoilers, and gruesome descriptions of blood, death, and destruction. I do not own any of this except the 5 friends. AXIOS.
(Third person POV): It was the dead of night, 5 friends had just finished a playthrough of the final dead space game on different servers, they kept score on whom was winning, so far it was the solitary teen of the group named Zachary Desmarais, he had made an over powered weapon that is equal to the devils horns. The rules for their game was that whomever died was to switch out with the next person on the list, when it came for Zach (AKA Guestfiber660) to join, he was never killed due to his high amount of resources, and ammo, along with a fully upgraded RIG, and a Gatling gun with rocket launcher attachment, earning him the nickname Mr. Boomdiada (From that Discovery channel commercial 'I love the whole world'), his friends respected him for his mechanical, and technical support in the game, along with his ability to adapt to any form of conflict. The next friend up the chain was Jacob, he was the youngest in the group but what he lacked in height, he equaled it in spirit, and sportsmanship. Above him was his sister Chloe who never liked Dead space much until she got pulled into thanks to the silent one, in a combo team Guestfiber660 always covered her when ever there was a problem, unless he couldn't get to her in time, the next one was a rather husky male named Nathan, a Anime lover, and a fan of Pokemon he wasn't in the group for comical relief, he was there for his optimism, and the fact that he would rather be watching Anime shows, and or movies with his parents. At the top of the group was Dylan, this partially Italian macho guy was leader of the group, he was a comedian, and had a rich family history, unlike his silent French counterpart who was as crazy in the same way. Any ways the group signed off, and pulled their sheets over themselves, Zach had trouble falling asleep because he got a chill down his spine which was rare for him, he reached under his pillow, and held a copy of his family crest close to his body, reminding him that he was a decedent of a rich blood line, as the last of the group fell asleep in their homes, bright white portals opened in their rooms, and Unitologists stepped out with Stasis pods hovering right behind them, the Alpha, and Omega of the group were the only ones who responded to the intrusion "ALLONS-Y" Zach cried out, "AXIOS" Dylan cried, the two tried to put up a fight, but the other three were still asleep, and the Unitologists placed them in the pods, and carried them back through the portal. It took the Unitologists 10 minutes to take down the undisciplined teens, the two teams assigned to capture one of them each used a sedative to put the adrenalin crazed teens under, the team that was suppose to capture Zach pushed him into the pod they brought for him, Zach was fighting the anesthetic his fist had the necklace with his family crest attached to it, not daring to let it slip from his fingers "Target is acquired, soon the church will spread glorious convergence thanks to the 'help' of these children" a Unitologist scientist said, "Altman be praised" another said, they retreated through the portal to put their plan into motion.
(On board the Ishimura medical wing, Dylan's POV): I blacked out after the intruders injected me with a strong sedative, when I woke up my lungs burned, I felt even colder then usual, I opened my eyes then saw that I was in a pod, it hissed opened I then collapsed to the floor along with 4 others, each of us gasping for warm air to defrost our lungs. I saw Nathan, Jacob, and his sister whom was also my girlfriend gasping "Where the hell are we" Jacob asked, I looked around, the place seemed weird, it looked like a cryogenic storage room, but the walls were strange in color, and shape "I don't know. Does anybody else get the feeling that this place looks familiar" I asked, "Didn't Zach describe this place to us, hey where is Zach" Nathan asked, we looked around for our missing friend, there was one pod at the end of the room, we stumbled on the metal floor trying to regain our footing after the deep freeze. We propped ourselves on the wall, I picked up a text log that was on a table next to the active pod 'Dr. Terrence Kyne, the subjects were brought aboard merely hours after we departed, I was told that they would prove to be better subjects for the church to use to build markers, but there was a problem with them once we placed their pods in storage. Their brain waves gave off incredible readings in the first hours, two of them began to emit a strange telepathic signal that was off the charts, none of us could understand what it meant. One of them seemed to be in conflict within his own mind as if he was dreaming. I can imagine it now, Markers all across the galaxy spreading convergence to all whom stand in its path. Altman be praised', I brushed away some of the sweat that was on the glass, I saw the face of our group's weird silent member, he had his usual emotionless facial features, his eyes then shot open, they were crimson red instead of the usual hazel brown with green, he began to bash his head on the glass causing it to spider web.
(Zach's POV): Rage, and adrenalin coursed through me, they took me by force to a ship, I could feel the hum of the engines while I slumbered, my inner berserker told me to wake, I began to make an exit for me, I had always had a thick skull, and the glass was brittle from the cold, using science to my advantage I applied enough force to find a weak spot, the glass cracked into the shape of a spider web, I reared my head back once more, and broke through the glass, I landed on one knee, then visions of the Marker screamed in my head, it only made me even more angry. I inhaled through my nose to clear my head, the gang stared at me in shock, I had always been seen as the whelp who remains quiet, or tries to make people laugh, but I failed every time "Holy shit bro, when did you grow a pair" Dylan questioned, I had no idea how I was that frigging strong, then alarms started to blare "Shit, I have a pretty good idea where we are, but first we need to suit up" I said, we moved out from the storage room to find something to put on. The room we entered had lockers lining the walls, there was a slip of paper on one of them 'For when you wake up' it had labels on which locker belonged to whom, we each opened them, inside of them had a box of diamond semi-conductors, a random selection of schematics with their matching ammo, about 50-60 power nodes, and we each had a suit schematic "Alright guys, and lady, lets get suited up" Dylan said, luckily there was a store in the same room, Dylan was the first to enter the store, he sold all of his semi-conductors for credits, and purchased the suit schematic he came out with a RIG attached to his back, and was wearing a level six suit, his weapons were the line gun, force gun, a ripper, and pulse rifle, we all got a level six suit, Nathan got a seeker rifle, a ripper, and a plasma cutter, Chloe, and Jacob both got only a plasma cutter, and I got a plasma cutter, flamethrower, pulse rifle, and contact beam. Another stroke of luck was that there was a bench in the same room, we each maxed out our weapons, RIG, Stasis modules, and Kinesis modules, the lights went out, and slashers broke through the vents, I knelt down into the combat firing stance with the pulse rifle, then began to unleash hell, I was the only one paying attention to the undead crew, the others stood there paralyzed at the sight of a real Necromorph, they fell as I used the strategic dismemberment strategy on the pack of slashers, the door opened, and the group ran through while I kept my focus on staying alive. We were running down the hallway, I had my RIG map up to see where we were going, the office where Nichole Brennan was right around the corner, then a vent broke open, and a brute climbed out, the door to the office was locked, Dylan tried to hack it so I turned my attention to the large pile of flesh, the corridor was very narrow so there wasn't much room, I used the quickest way I know to kill a brute (WHICH ACTUALLY WORKS BECAUSE I HAVE TRIED IT BEFORE), as the brute was charging I hit him with a stasis field causing him to slow down, I pulled out my contact beam, and charged it, I let go of the trigger, and the orb of burning energy hit the exposed weak point on the brute (The shoulders are exposed during its charge so use that to your advantage, don't worry any weapon works, but the contact beam, and pulse rifle are much more effective), the right arm was severed from the joint as the stasis wore off, I had enough time to charge up another shot, I had a clear line of sight at the weak spot, the Brute died as Dylan finally managed to hack the door, I used Kinesis to pick up the power node the brute dropped, then ducked into the office.
(Nichole's POV): Five people barged into the room I was locked in, 4 of them looked scared out of their minds, but one holding a piece of mining equipment looked unfazed "How the bloody hell did you get in here" Lexine questioned, they were wearing military uniforms, but one of them was covered in blood, and viscera, 4 of them took their helmets off revealing their rather young faces, the 5th one did nothing but open his RIG's inventory "Lots of the undead, didn't know what to do" the girl said, "What are your names" I asked, "I am Dylan, this is my girlfriend Chloe, her younger brother Jacob, and my friend Nathan, the one who saved our asses is our friend Zach" Dylan said gesturing to the one covered in gunk, he was checking his weapon, and placing new energy packs into it, he saw Eckhardt trembling in the corner of the room, he approached Warren, then proceeded to break his neck "OH MY GOD" Lexine shrieked, he then looked at me, and Lexine "He was sent by the church to retrieve you Lexine, and us" he said, the now dead Warren's RIG blinked to life, and an audio recording between Eckhardt, and a mysterious person. The recording ended, Lexine was shocked at what she saw "There is a shuttle we can take to escape, but we need to do it fast, a repair ship is on its way. Due to quarantine the auto dock will have failed also due to the no fly order" Zach said, he then opened the tanks containing Gabe Weller, and Nathan McNeill, they fell onto the floor.
So first attempt, I need to know if I should continue with it or not, I need to know. This series will extend into Dead space 2 then into a crossover series if you want me to continue.
