Hi, I just decided to write a random story like this. Don't have any idea why, but just deal with it. Also, please give me suggestions on new characters. I'd prefer them to be enemies or aliens. Humans are easy enough to make up by myself. 'Coz of course, humans are simple beings. Yep, I did just horribly insult myself. Also, all though the beginning (Not including the start of the beginning) is in our reality, do not let that fool you. You'll see how it links to Xcom. One last thing before the story STARTS; the censored name is not rude. I just couldn't bother to come up with a human name. AKA Earthling name. I do not own Xcom. I do own the idea of how the realities and timelines work in this story.
Huskins surged forward into a low crouch behind a bag of rubbish.
"Don't really see how this is any cover at all, but okay…" remarked the now experienced agent.
Now that he was flanking a group of un-expecting mutons, this gave him the perfect opportunity to strike. Raising his assault rifle, he locked his sight on the nearest muton and prepared to pull the trigger. Only a millisecond before he pulled the trigger, Sergeant Li rushed into the middle of the mutons, preparing to slice through the middle of another muton.
'What was that for Commander?" whined Huskins.
A fraction from its body, the jagged blade was rejected by the green plating covering the victim's arms.
"What in"- Li's last words were interrupted by a punch from the muton into her gut.
This particular part has been censored by the 'WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING? KIDS MIGHT BE READING THIS!' corporation.
"Crap!" exclaimed a young boy whom name was (This name has been censored for unknown stupid reasons) Slamming his face into the computer.
"Watch your language young man!" shouted his father through the kitchen wall. What was his dad doing in the kitchen? Who knows, maybe eating leftovers from last night's dinner? (Censored name) sighed. How was he supposed to know mutons could block things that they didn't know were there? Then again, in real life they would have noticed a ruddy sergeant running right in front of their face.
He wandered outside. As usual, his no-one-in-particular-mother was busy sounding of monologue alerts in his head to the flowers. (Censored name) was no flora expert, but it looked to him that his mother would kill the plants with how much water she was giving them.
'Well, the woods look promising today, might give me time to clear my head' thought the young boy.
Now lurking in the woods, (Censored Name) noticed how quiet it was today. All he could hear was the dreadful monologue of the wind whistling through the trees and the occasional crack of a twig's life he ended. Not even the clouds stirred, all was silent, as if they were anticipating for something to happen. This was starting to get on the censored boy's nerves. Fortunately for him, it did not last long.
"HJKHKJHJKGFHGKJHGLKJHLJ!" sounded some unknown source. (Okay, I did just go the tiniest bit crazy there.) Shocked by the sudden intrusion on the silence, (CENSORED NAME) leapt into the air, as if he had been pricked by a pin. The scene seemed quite comical in fact. Now more alert, the nervous human (I say this, because it's quite obvious there are non-human characters in this. Or there will be.) Stood his ground and scanned his surroundings. Now that he looked closer, he noticed that there was actually movement around him. A mouse scurried through the grass, coming to a sudden stop soon after. When it came within (Censored Name's) line of sight again, a large emerald beetle was perched between its teeth. But what really stood out to him, was an ominous light ahead of him. It seemed to originate from nowhere, but it seemed to come from everywhere at the same time. He stepped towards it, attracted to it like a fly is to the light.
(Unknown person's P o v)
What am I doing? It's still day time, and I'm wandering around doing my job where a puny human likes to frolic!
Even then, he still did not escape. Wait! I just revealed the gender! Oopsies! Anyway, he walked forward. This should be about the right area. At last, after a few minutes of restless searching, he found what he was after. The precious gem sparkled in the sunlight.
"Shkunkins!" He happily remarked.
Suddenly, he heard a rustle in the bushes.
"Hmm? I know you're there come out."
The young boy emerged from the bushes.
Only a moment after the boy had come out, he noticed there was another presence nearby.
The foolish young human boy asked, "Who else is here?"
At first the unknown person was confused (He wasn't very good with English) then after a moment, he realised he what he was talking about.
Ahh, he must mean Scarlet. Thought he.
With that, he grabbed the young human and chucked into one of his marvellous portals. He was never seen again, or at least, in that reality…
Hi, thanks for reading that, sorry it's a bit short though. Anyway, please give me extra characters to use. I shall put in interviews with the unknown guy and Scarlet at the bottom, once they have fully introduced themselves in the story.

Silacoid
English translation
Silacoids are an extremely primitive species, which are extremely hostile, though the possess no brain. The work quite similarly to Earth's jellyfish, but with one major difference. Silacoids can easily change shape, being a blob of glue. They are only a mild threat to the Xcom forces, as they cannot get up close without being shot or sliced etc. Such, they are only the last line of defence, and are thought worse than dirt in the ADVENT community.
