Preface:

Okay this is a resistance fall of man story. If you haven't played the game or know the storyline it's okay as this will be partially revealed although if u did know your experience would be heightened. Also (for those who know the story line), just so no ones confused the character does not know about the chimera at the start so that is what this chapters about. Also i do not own the Resistance franchise or have any official affiliation with it, or insomniac who did create it. This is a fanfiction which i will try to update as much as i can but i am unreliable with such things so if i do fall behind I am so sorry as i know how much of a pain it can be.

Enjoy :)

A Fight For Survival

Lieutenant Ralph Harris turned in his pilots seat, watching the soldiers as they fast roped down from the Hawk. Then he jumped in his seat as the .30 calibre door gun on the left side jumped into action. He looked down at the street where figures in skin coloured uniforms and black and red back packs dived for cover. Three stayed in the middle of the street where the U.S rangers were deploying. Of these three two quickly fell but the third let out a yell, more of an animal roar then anything a human would make and charged. The soldier at the .30 calibre kept his head and sent a long stream down the street. One of it's arms was completely severed before he was brought to a stop, the last shot almost beheading him as well. As the blood continued to pump from the mutilated body Harris felt a shiver running it's icy fingers along his spine.

Then, from the right side a burst of tracer fire came up, into the cockpit. Harris took the Hawk into a bank to the left, away from the sudden fire. "What was that?" He yelled to his co-pilot as he hopped over a large house and into a courtyard behind it. He glanced to his right and saw his co-pilot and, for the first time, noticed his blood and brain matter all over the roof of the cockpit. Harris let out a horrified gasp, his mouth hanging open beneath his wide eyes which looked into the dead, unseeing eyes of his childhood friend. He and Ian Mitchell had enlisted within months of each other. Ian hadn't wanted to be, nor was he a good pilot but he had learnt so he could be with his mate and now he was gone. Harris was filled with rage and so he shouted to the gunners in the back, and the ranger who hadn't managed to get out in time "Hold on" and he meant it.

He sent the Hawk up, higher then the building then switched from helicopter to plane, from hover to fly, and he went over the building There, in front of him was some sort of four legged mechanical spider, spewing rounds out at the rangers who had made it out. It was closer now, just below where the Hawk had been depositing the soldiers. It turned around, tracking a target and Harris opened up. The guns on the nose of the Hawk fired and the rounds hit the main body of the spider. It began to turn but suddenly froze, sparks begin to fly. Harris fly's over the spider-tank and turns around. He sees it explode, wreckage tossed around and the men on the ground and in the back cheer. Harris reverts back to hover and the last of the man descends to the street. When he was down Harris turns the Hawk to fly when the whole Hawk shook and the Hawk veered to the right. Harris pulled on the controls but it didn't matter and the Hawk hit a the tiled roof of a building, creating a gaping hole when it continued over the roof and fell into an alley on the other side of the house.

The rangers in the street looked around in shock, one of the men gasping for air from his dash from under the falling piece of spider tank which had been blown so fast that it had taken so long to come down that the last raider had the chance to get down and the Hawk to even start flying away before it had fell entirely back. An officer ordered the rangers around the corner to the crash site when wreckage was thrown everywhere and the house was almost blown apart, the bottom floor fell but by some minor miracle the top floors stayed standing, at least until the more wreckage which was shot sky high started to fall. The rangers started running for cover and when a larger piece of wreckage which, if anyone was looking carefully they would have noticed was the upper body of one of the gunners fused to a door which hit the building and one of the supporting walls fell. The whole structure twisted and the rubble was scattered across the street.
