Chapter 1: Enter, Kai.

My first Lost Planet 2 Fanfiction.

Let's see how it turns out.

And don't go easy on me, tell me what bits I must add to this

Hey. My name is Kai. I am a Rounder. One of the many Snow Pirate Factions. I was moved about with various squads around EDN III. Sure, it was a chore, tiring, and boring and everything and I was nervous and shy in the first few days of being found in the city ruins. After a few weeks in training, working and living with them that I learned about NEVEC. cruel bastards with everyone lining up to backhand them hard, me included after I found out that they destroyed my home for Thermal Energy, the source of most, if not, all machinery on this planet. It was also the blood of Akrid, the Alien Natives of EDN III, kinda felt sorry for the poor bastards, but it was survival of the fittest.

Ahem...Anyway

I'm currently heading out with everyone, the entire Rounders Faction to take on the Fight Junkies and take whatever T-ENG they have, since we were running low back at base. Hope everything goes to plan...

Location: Jungle. Time: 1400 Hours (2:00 O'clock *PM*)

Mission: Raid the Fight Junkies, Destroy their mine and salvage their T-ENG.

POV: Kai

"Alright, Team Leaders are reporting in." I sat down on a chair as Kyle, my team leader and best friend, reported in for the briefing. "We're rounding up the troops! Looks like this is gonna be one helluva party!" I overheard two pirates chatting. "Do we really need all this to take on a bunch of half-assed miners?" "Well the Mine's not sitting there with a big ol' welcome sign on it. You'll have to go through some pretty dense bush to get there." Kyle then spoke up, "We got no idea what to expect down there. Wouldn't be surprised if most of you couldn't hack it." Group A leader then spoke up, "Thanks for the vote of confidence..." I looked outside, ignoring the rest of the conversation. I sighed. "You ok, Kai?" Suki asked. She was an Ex Waysider Femme Fatale, found on destroyed Trailer, hiding in a locker, surrounded by many of her crew members, wouldn't be surprised if it was NEVEC that was responsible. She was luckily my girlfriend due to our time together. Before my arrival, she mainly kept to herself and her friends and was the first to speak to me, as well as introducing me to Kyle and Rayder who were also (surprisingly) like us. As such, the Commander put us in a group after our mission reports compared to NEVEC's poster boys, The First Descent. I am pretty much grateful for her...for all of my friends. "Kai! You are day dreaming again!" She sighed, "Did you sleep in or something?!" I chuckled as I held my black Gun sword, made by me when I joined the Rounder's ranks as a warrior. It reminded me of the fun times with the Rounders before NEVEC threw shit at the fan.

Suddenly we heard an explosion and a fiery carrier crashing into the water below. "AKRID!" I heard Rayder shout as we seen hundreds of pissed off akrid flying about. "Their going nuts, I think the heat's affecting them!" They began setting a few of our carriers on fire, crashing into one another and causing massive damage. Me, Kyle, Suki and Rayder opened fire on the hordes, as did many other pirates. The rest of the rafts were dropped and at that exact moment, many groups dropped from their carriers and onto the rafts. We jumped from the Carrier in time and onto the raft below us as we set off into the jungles. I seen a carrier above us explode and it's helicopter blade missing the Group A leader's head by an inch. christ, he was lucky..

We stopped at the edge of the main route leading to the Jungle Pirates base. "Let's go, Let's go!" Kyle yelled as we headed up the path. "The Jungle Pirates base shouldn't be to far. Activate Data Posts you find so we can get a lay of the land. also, don't let your T-ENG Reserves run low out there!" We heard the commander say before he cut off.

Leaving us in the humid forests.

Akrid began to head towards our direction as me, my team and our fellow Rounders locked and loaded, ready to shed blood.

Chapter one finished, it may not be much, but there is a whole lot more coming up, and it will tie into the story, of course, but not to much that Kai and his friends and their counterparts will take part in the Protagonists' mission, but will not do anything that will affect the story line. Either way, hope you enjoy this series as I enjoy making it.
