Note: Dead space still belongs to Visceral
Chapter 2
A sudden growl awoke Isaac Clarke from his sleep. The first thing he noticed was the cold metal floor beneath him, covered in blood.
"No" he muttered looking around. He was back on the sprawl.
His eyes glanced around wildly; looking for a weapon of any kind that would protect him from the dangerous monsters that he knew would be coming. His suspicion was realized when suddenly a large crowd of necromorphs began to advance toward him.
"Oh shit" he muttered still looking for a weapon.
A slasher seemed to hear the words of the engineer and turned towards him. With a loud growl, it dashed toward him. Finally Isaac found a pulse rifle lying a few feet in front of him. Jumping out of the way of the slasher, Isaac clicked of the safety and fired. The pulse round seemed to rip the slasher apart, splattering blood across the already soaked floor. The noise of the blast soon attracted the rest of the hoard as Isaac reloaded.
"Here we go again you bastards!" he yelled as he took aim.
As Isaac fired the pulse rifle, he failed to notice a slim blond figure advancing toward him, holding a needle. As the last of the beast's ell to the ground, Isaac turned just as the figure of Nicole stabbed him in the eye. As he cried out in pain, dropping to the floor, the figure raised the needle once more.
"Make, us, whole" it said, before bringing down the needle.
A sudden shaking awoke Isaac from his nightmare. Wildly, he pushed himself off the ground in a fighting stance.
"Woe, Isaac what's wrong?" asked Ellie Langford.
Isaac seemed to pause for a minute before rubbing his tired eyes.
"Nothing. Just a bad dream".
"Well no matter what it was, I've got good news" Ellie smiled.
As Isaacs face turned curious Ellie pointed out the window of their gunship.
"Earth" muttered Isaac.
The blue oceans of the planet below gave Isaac a sense of home and security. To him, it was finally over.
"Let's go" Isaac smiled.
Ellie obliged and began steering the ship toward the atmosphere. Suddenly a large screen showing a man with the symbol of Earthgov popped up in front of them.
"This is a restricted no fly zone" he commanded, "Leave at once or you will be shooting down".
"Things just don't seem to get easier do they?" Ellie sighed, "what should we do?".
"Were going in" grunted Isaac blasting on the throttle.
The man from Earthgov shook his head.
"For disobeying a direct order from the supervisor of Earth's atmospheric defense, you will be now shoot down".
As the screen disappeared a large hail of cannon fire came blasting toward the gunship.
"Here we go again" Isaac frowned.
