S.T.A.L.K.E.R.:
Road to Pripyat
Chapter 1: The Zone
My name is Borysko Voloshyn, I am 26 years old and was born in Pripyat, I was evacuated from the area only a day after birth, my father took me to a village far away from pripyat, my mom died from radiation poisoning. When I was 25 I heard of many people entering the irradiated area they call "The Zone", I was in disbelief of this for awhile, until one day, someone who was in the zone came to the village, he told stories of objects that can do amazing things, and terrifying mutants that could suck the blood out of a man in seconds, I did not believe him at first, but then he showed us one of these artifacts, he call it, jellyfish, it took away radiation from the body, I asked if I could have it, but he said, if I wanted one, I would have to get one myself, in the zone, at 26 I finally found someone who could take me to the zone, they called themselves, Mercenaries, they agreed to take me to the zone, at a price.
In a truck, Borysko was sitting blindfolded, well a mercenary was sitting around, basically asleep, a UN-familiar sound roared out, it sounded like it belong to something large
Borysko: What was that?
Mercenary: ehhh, probably a bloodsucker.
Borysko: confused bloodsucker?
Mercenary: yeah a bloodsucker.
Borysko: can you tell me more about this, "bloodsucker"?
Mercenary: Sure, if you pay me extra.
Borysko: I'll learn what it is soon enough.
Mercenary: Yeah, when its sucking your blood out.
the merc laughs, Borysko remains silent, and becomes UN-easy, after a few more minutes of driving the truck stops
Mercenary: Time to get off.
the merc leads Borysko off the truck
Mercenary: alright take off your blindfold.
Borysko removes his blindfold, he was staring at a large swamp, he turns around facing the Mercenary
Borysko: Hey, where am I?
Mercenary 2: gets out of the driver seat your in the Great Swamps.
Borysko: I thought you were taking me to the cordon?
Mercenary 2: We couldn't get past the military outpost, so we took you here.
Mercenary: Look you wanted to go to the zone, this is the zone, now give us the money you promised us.
Borysko, hands over half of the money
Mercenary 2: Hey! This is only half of what you owe us!
Borysko: I said, take me to the cordon, not a stinking swamp, you only get half.
Mercenary: Your not in the position to negotiate here rookie.
the Mercs take out their guns
Mercenary 2: Last warning, give us the rest, or you'll be sorry.
Borysko was reluctant to pay, he started slowly reaching for his gun, when they heard the roar again
Mercenary: Bloodsucker! the merc shoots Borysko in the leg and starts getting back on the truck, leaving Broysko behind
Borysko falls to the ground, he grabs his pistol and shoots at the mercs killing one the other one was not paying attention and drove away in the truck, the roar sounded closer, Borysko tried to get up but couldn't, he began crawling to the mercs body, the roars got closer and closer, Borysko get to the merc's body and find a bandage, he starts bandaging his leg to stop the bleeding, once he was done, he turned to the merc's body and saw that a bloodsucker was sucking the blood out of it, Borysko was stunned by its appearance, it had the figure of a man, but many tentacles on the bottom of its mouth, its eyes were tiny and glowing white, its hands were like claws, and it looks like it was covered in swamp marsh, it looked at me, and roared, Borysko quickly got up and began running, but only got a few feet away before falling down in pain, he looks back at the bloodsucker but it was gone, along with the merc's body
Borysko: breathing heavily Where did that thing go?
Borysko starts looking around for the bloodsucker, but it was no-where to be seen
Borysko: that must have been a bloodsucker, better not stick around for another one to show up looks at the AK that use to belong to the dead merc
Borysko: walks over to the AK and picks it up at least the beast left the mercenary's weapon behind checks its mag, 29 out of 30 bullets were left could be useful he puts the AK on his back and starts heading into the swamps, in some bushes, 2 people were watching Borysko
Bandit: should we Kill him now?
Bandit 2: No, we'll tell the others, then we'll hes sleeping, we kill him, and take his loot. The bandits laugh
Chapter 2: Bloodsuckers
Borysko is walking through the swamp, looking at his map on the PDA to see where he is going, when he suddenly hears something in the bushes, he stops and pulls out his pistol, he aims it at the bushes, his hand shakes in fear of what could come out of the bush, the bush keeps rustling, after a few seconds, a crow fly's out of the bush, he freaks out and starts shooting a few rounds at the crow but miss's every shot, then out in the distance he can hear crows flying away from the sound of the gun fire, he puts away the gun and keeps walking, he hears beeping coming from his PDA, he looks at it and says there is a anomaly close by, he looks around and doesn't see anything, he walks forward and a cloud of poisonous gas pops up, he steps back a few feet, coughing from the gas, and begins throwing up, after a few seconds of puking, he sees a bolt on the ground, he picks it up and throws it in-front of him, the cloud pops up again, then vanishes, he walks around it and keeps going, after awhile he hears something in the bushes again, he looks at it and slowly gets out his pistol, has he is getting his pistol out, he hears something coming from another bush, he turns to it with his gun pointed at it, then he hears something from another bush, and points his gun at that bush, but he realizes, its coming from all three bushes, he constantly turns to each bush, pointing his gun at one bush then another, then he hears a familiar roar from one of the bushes, he points his gun at the bush and can see something coming at him, it was invisible, and was about 5 feet away from Borysko, he began shooting at it, after unloading half a magazine into it the pistol jammed, Borysko punch's it then try's to continue firing but is tackled down by the bloodsucker, it un-cloak's and try's to suck out Broysko's blood, Borysko is keeping the bloodsucker back by putting his arm on its chest well it try's to suck out his blood, Borysko keeps reaching for his pistol that he dropped, he gets closer and closer to grabbing it, but his strength is failing to keep the bloodsucker back, he finally grabs his gun, but before he shoots it, his arm finally gave out and the bloodsucker begins sucking out Borysko's blood, freaking out by whats going on he puts the gun to its head and shoots it, the bloodsucker dies instantly, he push's it off him and try's to get back up, but he had lost to much blood, and fell back down, the bloodsucker left marks on his skin, he looks around and see two other bloodsuckers heading towards him, he try's to get up and run away, but instead falls down from blood lost, he watch's as the bloodsuckers slowly approach him, then suddenly one of the bloodsuckers gets shot in the head, the other one begins to run off, some people walk over to Borysko
Unknown Voice: This him?
Unknown Voice 2: yeah, that's him.
Unknown voice 3: Lets take his stuff now.
Unknown voice 4: no, I think I can use him.
one of the men crouch's down in-front of Borysko lights a cigarette and blows the smoke in Borysko face
Unknown Voice 4: yeah, he'll do nicely, take him back to the camp.
one of the men go over to Borysko and picks him up, and when they start walking, Borysko passes out of the blood loss, he only remembers waking up for a few seconds, then falling back to sleep
Chapter 3: Bandits
Borysko wakes up, he is in bed in a wooden house, he turns his head left to a wall, he turns right to a man, the man was wearing a black trench coat, and was holding Borysko's PDA, the man looks up and sees Borysko is awake
Unknown man: Oh, your finally awake.
Borysko: Yeah, where am I?
Unknown man: Welcome to my camp, my name is Trot, I lead a small group of bandits, and I need your services.
Borysko: Forget it, I'm not a Mercenary.
Trot: You don't understand, if it wasn't for me you wouldn't be alive right now, and you don't have a choice, either you help me, and live, or you don't, and I kill you.
Borysko is shoked at the bandits sentence, after a few seconds of thinking
Borysko: Fine, I'll do it.
Trot: That a boy.
Borysko: Just tell me what I'm doing.
Trot: Yes of course, you are going to get something for me.
Borysko: what am I, getting, exactly.
Trot: your going to go get me a PKM, from those military boys at the cordon.
Borysko: Why don't you send one of your men to take the machine gun.
Trot: because the gun is mounted and is shooting at us, and I can't afford to send one of my boy's into gun fire, to risky, but you on the other hand, you, I can afford to lose.
Borysko: sarcastically this is a great situation for me, stuck between a pistol, and a machine gun.
Trot: Don't worry, you just need to disable it, but if you bring it back intact I will buy it off you.
Borysko: got any advice that could help me, not die.
Trot: just this little tip, let the machine gun fire at you for a bit then, when he has to reload, start running for the next piece of cover, but don't stay down for to long, or they'll send a squad down there to take care of you.
Borysko: how exactly do I, disable the gun?
Trot: how am I suppose to know that?...okay I mite know a few things that could work, if you get a very luck shot and somehow disable the gun, you can advance with ease, besides the 10 other military boys that will be shooting at you, or if you get close enough, throw a grenade between the hole that allows the gun to shoot, that should kill the basturd on the gun.
Borysko: How do I get to the Cordon?
Trot: Don't worry, I'll have one of my boys to lead you there, hey pathfinder, get your ass in here!
a man in a brown trench coat walks in, he had a gas mask on instead of a the sack mask the bandits usually wear, and was holding a silenced sniper rifle
Unknown Bandit: Yes boss?
Trot: I need you, to lead our friend here, to the cordon, so he can disable the machine gun, blindfold him so he doesn't know where he is, and keep a eye on him, make sure he doesn't just, run away, and if he does start running, kill him.
Pathfinder: Yes boss.
Trot: one more thing rookie, I will not give you anything if you don't bring me back the machine gun, but you are free to trade items that you may find in the outpost, or from dead stalkers, now go follow Pathfinder to the cordon, and bring me a machine gun.
Borysko follows Pathfinder out of the room
Pathfinder: I'm going to blindfold you here, I don't want you to know what our camp looks like if I lose track of you and decide to come back and kill us all.
Borysko: Fine, but make it fast, I don't have all day.
pathfinder puts the blindfold on Borysko and starts taking him to the cordon, after some time of pathfinder and Borysko walking to the cordon
Pathfinder: so, why did you enter the zone?
Borysko: a man claiming to have been to the zone came to my village, and showed everyone a artifact he claims he got from the zone, he said it was worth 4000 rubles, so I decided to go find one of my own, took me a year or so, but I made it here.
Pathfinder: Yeah, I saw those mercs running scared from the bloodsucker.
Borysko: You were spying on me?
Pathfinder: I'm a bandit, its sorta my job to spy on rookies, then take all their stuff.
Borysko: but this time, your giving me a job, that could kill me, so its about the same if you think about it enough.
