I was inspired by the Alison of Palmdale episode but not in the way you may think.
This will be a multi chaptered fic.
Enjoy.
The raid had been much worse than they expected. Derek had gotten intel that the machines were hiding something big near the LaRochelle Pass. John was to have led the mission but Kyle had insisted on taking the initiative.
Derek sometimes wondered about the soft spot the General had for his little brother but he doubted he swung that way. Although with the lack of females well it wasn't unheard of. They approached the gutted factory and moved west.
LaRochelle was a new spot for detainment for the machines. So far they were unaware of the Resistances knowledge of it and kept light security. Of course light security could still kill about twenty good soldiers and they only had a handful with them.
Kyle peered through his scope.
He nearly gasped at the huge form revealed by the pale moonlight. A ship no a destroyer. It was strange to see something that huge now a days. Any metal was scrapped to keep the few humans left from building stronger defense posts.
Kyle almost handed over his binoculars to Derek but something caught his attention. Something had either fallen or been thrown off the ship. Kyle tossed the binoculars to Derek and made some forward hand motions. He silently skulked through the rubble. His men with weapons up ready to release cover fire at any point.
They made it to the edge but it was just a drop straight down into inky black water. They all knew from experience that water was almost certain death. Kyle searched the water with his weak flash light but it was much too dark to discern anything.
He had just put away his light and signaled to his troops when he heard the plaintive wail. "Help! Please."
Kyle swung back around with Derek in hot pursuit. He flashed his light again and saw the small figure floundering in the water. "It's Allison." Kyle shouted.
Derek lounged over Kyle and into the water. Kyle didn't have a chance to shout as he followed his brother's body over the edge and into the darkness.
