"What the hell did you do?!" One of the scientist said gazing upon the portal. "Get security in here NOW!" Dr. Hinoda yelled out to his fellow researcher.
In a few minutes, a man decorated with medals walks out the door saying "What happe-" but was cut off at the sight of the portal. "Wha... Wha... What... is... this?" is all the man in uniform could say.
"Shall I alert the council?" said Dr. Ivan in a low voice.
"No, I'll alert them myself" said Dr. Hinoda as he stormed out the room.
He thought to himself, "How will I explain this all?"

"So your telling us that you opened an door to a new dimension?" said the US representative.
"In general terms, yes" said the doctor.
"So what is the best course of action?" said the Russian representative.
"I beleive that the best course of action is to explore it, see if it has any sign of life, then we will see"
"So who do you plan on sending in there?" said the Japanese representative.
"I was hoping you could help in that decision, I think if I may have a look at your Special forces branches, I may be able to pick suitable candidates from one of them".
"Very well, those who want to send the lists of their Special forces may send their lists now" said the Swiss representative.
In a matter of minutes Dr. Hinoda got the lists of the folowing countries, Russia, France, Germany, Israel, Saudi Arabia, The United Kingdom and the United States.
"Dammit!" the doctor cursed while slamming his fist on the table.
"None of them are suitable for the possibilities to happen". The doctor stood up and got his half eaten fruit bar.
"If we can't explore, that means we have to ca-" his thought was cut short by a loud thud and multiple gunshots. He rushed out to the catwalk to see what caused the comotion.
"OPEN FIRE!" yelled out one of the soldiers shooting at the humanoid giant, as gunshots and burst fire from assault rifles echoed through the facility Dr. Hinoda ran to ask the captain what had happened.
"Captain Werlock, what the hell happened, what is... is... that!" the doctor said in a panicked voice.
"It just jumped out of the portal and started eating our guys!" said the captain while firing his assault rifle.
"Just get rid of it now!" said the doctor.
"Make way, move it MOVE IT!" yelled a soldier coming in with a rocket launcher, he takes aim for the head and fires.
"Is it dead?" the young soldier said.
"Dunno, lets check it out" as the soldiers slowly moved forward, coughing from the steam it emitted, they saw movement.
"Hold this position" the captain ordered. As the smoke cleared, all his men got a glimpse of it once more.
"It grew it's motherfucking head back!" yelled a soldier.
"SUPPRESIVE FIRE!" yelled the captain as bullets flew through the air. A soldier on the catwalk took aim to the head with his rocket launcher, but slipped in the middle of firing, sending the rocket towards the giants neck blowing it to pieces.
"Is it dead this time?" yelled the soldier on the catwalk.
"Well, its not moving... is it?" said another soldier in a frightened tone.

"Amazing" said the doctor with a emotionless face but clearly showing interest.
"It grew back its head after being blown to bits, but more importantly, it still moved" said Dr. Anders.
"We must push trough with the exploration of this place, we mist know what else is inside it" said Dr. Glukovsky.
"But do we have a candidate who maches up with the standards you gave?" said Dr. Ivan looking at Dr. Hinoda.
"Sadly, no, if we cant find one we might as well do it ourselves, but we also need to know how to fight these things in case-". He was cut of by his assistant opening the door.
"Don't you know how to knock" said Dr. Hinoda irritated.
"Sorry sir but... there is a man who wants to see you" said his assistant.
"Tell him to come back" he shot back.
"But sir, he has an Alpha 01 clearance" said his assistant.
"Then that means... he is a project director" he said to himself.
"Tell him to wait, I'll be there shortly" said the doctor.
As the doctor entered the conference room he was met by a tall broad man in a trench coat with a military insignia on the sleeves. "Nice to meet you Director..." said the doctor.
"Director Alexander, at your service" said the director with a hard British accent.
"Well then director, what brings you here?" said the doctor.
"I heard you were looking for candidates to enter this portal you guys opened" said the director.
"And that interests you how, waitwaitwait, what project are you directing?" said the doctor in a intimidating tone.
"Glad you asked, I'm directing the project which is tasked to revive perhaps what was history's greatest warriors" said the director in a calm voice.
The doctor looked at the markings on the sleeves of the director's coat and said "Spartans?".
"I'll guess that you found out through my coat" said the director letting out a few laughs.
"So your training kids to fight, isn't that against the law of oh I don't know, majority of the countries on Earth" hissed the doctor.
"Not of there families and the child didn't refuse" said the director in a calm tone. "So how manh trainees do you have?" said the doctor.
"30,000 candidates, some volunteers, most are orphans and children who were going to die" shot back the director.
"Soooo, what' s your offer Spartan" said the doctor sarcastically.
"Well I want to give you my top 2 Spartans, they are also my eldest trainees" said the director.
"Ok, let me see them" said the doctor in a lazy tone.
"Then that means you will have to go to Greece" shot back the director.
"Of course it would be Greece" muttered the doctor under his breath.
"Shall we go now?" said the director.
"Give me some time to pack, oh and I'll be bringing some of my colleges for proof" said the doctor in a sarcastic tone.
"Very well, you will not be disappointed" said the director.

"How long till we get there" whined Dr. Anders from tiredness.
"I have never heard you whine until now Anders" said Dr. Ivan playfully.
"Well how far is it director" said Dr. Hinoda.
"5 more hours from now" said the director.
"Well hurry uuuuuup" whined Dr. Anders as she falls asleep.

As they all got out of the Humvee getting there bags in the back, a Spartan trainee walks up to them and greets them "Good morning Sir Alexander, I see you brought friends" he said warmly but strong.
"Good morning to you to McGraw" said the director.
As they all walked into the facility Dr. Ivan spoke up "He seems pretty young to be a soldier let alone the fact he is a Soartan trainee".
"Oh yes that's right, I forgot to tell you all something".
All of them looked with confused faces until Dr. Glukhovsky said "And what may that be director" he said with a deep Russian accent.
"The eldest trainees and the top 2 are only 15" the director said proudly. All of them had been shocked to know that they could be sending teenagers to there possible death, but they were wrong.
