Three years after the events of the cruiser…
"God Damnit!"
The fire was everywhere. Chips of the rock and dirt flew past his helmet as he slid a new clip into his Talon Mk. IV assault rifle.
'How many are there? 10? 20? 100?!?'
"Squadron, Sound Off!" he yelled into the mike.
Static.
"God Damnit, Someone respond!!"
Static.
"Fuck!"
He looked over the rock he was behind and there were energy rounds flying over him in an instant.
"Shit." He ducked back behind a rock
'I Gotta get back to the ship.' He thought
He ran back toward the LZ as fast as he could. He started feeling stinging on his arms, on his legs…
Then the pain really kicked in.
His nerves ignited, burned with blue fire.
He fell.
It was coming.
He turned, pointing his gun at the aberration.
Black armor, blue visor,
Soulless.
It looked down at him
He heard in his head,
'You shall be mine, Specter'
He blacked out.
This is a prologue, a preview of the story to come. I'm gonna call it Into The Flaming Blue Abyss. It will be a sequel to If you Hunt a Monster… and it will be basically parallel to MP3:Corruption. If you can guess what the blue flame reference is, you get a gold star.
