Author's Note;
Smiles; Well I'm in a good mood just back from vacation and now going to provide this fic another update. Well seeing as only two people reviews I'll say thanks and respond. Knightwolf57 hey we all have grammar issues in some form or another. So thanks for the likes of the fic. Sir Guest III glad to hear you like the plot and the idea of where the story will go. And like I just said who doesn't have issues with grammar. So lets roll in.
Jace's View
'Hear young one hear and listen. Feel as you should feel and understand the differences of all to be more. Soon you have eyes free of what holds others back now all you need is to feel and understand. Awaken young one and follow the whispers when they call'. Soon the voice stopped and my eyes were met by the warm shine of the lights above me. Groaning I looked around to find that I was in my room but the windows blast shutters we closed. Getting up I looked around the room and found my stuff was still in the right place. Picking up my cane I found that my personal PDA was going off. Tapping it I was a personal broadcast to all personal. PDA message, "To all who hear this is Ms. Steel all non combat persons must make it off planet a large Xenomorph infestation has become present on the planet. For all personal safety we must leave the planet and leave the task to the marines". With the messages end I picked up all my stuff and placed it back into my pack and slung it over my back.
Slipping a newly designed Yaujta belt around my waist I then slipped my last project over my forearms. I had created a metal disrupter gauntlet. The gauntlet would take any impact or weapon strike and send the energy back at the opponent. Leaving my room I stomped my foot onto the ground to once more echo locate what was happening. Seeing that the Xenomorph's and facehuggers racing through the first and second. Walking to the stairs I was taking my time even if the Xenomorph's were all over the place. It was as if my mind was telling me there was no real danger. Seeing two facehuggers scuttle across the floor one paused it seemed to look at me. In an instant it was advancing at me but as it got closer I used my gauntlets to force it back. With the hugger stunned I went on to find where everyone else was.
Walking over to the large blast doors I stopped as two Xenomorph's crawled out from the vent. Hissing at me I said, "Stand down shadow killers I do not wish to hurt either of you". One sent forward its tail trying to stab into my chest. Using my gauntlet once more the Xeno received a heavy shock from it attempt at my life. The other one tried harder running across the right wall it got too close for me to use any of my weapons. As the other recovered it also tried to attack me as well. Feeling no way past them but by force I pulled my katana from my cane and stabbed into the closer ones chest. Flicking the handle I had the first Xeno's blood splatter across the others face. Timing my next swing I decapitated both cutting through part of their large curved heads and their slim necks. Flicking the acid blood from my katana I was reminded that some Yaujta's weapons have a natural resistance to their acid. Smiling I opened the doors and walked through.
I saw one Xeno trying to pry open one of the blast doors. Seeing me it charged and with an upward slash I sliced most of its face off. Moving around its blood I tapped the door saying, "I know you're in there officer come out". Soon the officer for the facility opened the door and from what I was hearing in his chest he was in pain. Officer, "One of those things got one of them in me… please kill me. I know its impossible to live through… *chest squirming sound* over ninety percent die from the surgery please kill me". Nodding I took a stand an aimed my katana at both his heart and at the Xeno inside him. Taking a breath I nodded and he closed his eyes. In one thrust I heard the breath leave his lips as his heart slowly ended thanks to my blade. Slowly he slipped down along my blades curve and taking his handgun I followed the shouts. After five minutes I found one blast door wielded shut and with some stuff blocking the way. Looking to my right I saw a vent crushed opened by a Xeno must likely it crawled through. In time I got to the vents end but I found it blocked by what must be a crate.
Using as much strength as I could I move the crate to the side. Squirming through the gap I made I pulled the crate back and made my way through the rows of boxes and crates. More shots rattled through the room and I felt three Xeno's coming closer to me. Looking around the crates I saw ones tail slip into the shade of a box. Following the various voices I climbed over a line of crates but one Xenomorph leapt at me from on top of another box. Flipping away from the leaping creature it crashed into the crate. Soon the other two charged at me trying the same trick the first one tried. Feeling the vibrations of the people talking I vaulted over the remaining crates. Seeing a motion turret I ran past it to hear the Xeno's screech as the turret sent a valley of bullets into them. Followed the shouts I found Captain Boozer telling the facility officers and various workers things to do. Several marines gasped as they saw me walk closer.
Captain Boozer, "Holy shit Jace your alive… that little asshole is going to get his ass handed to him when I see him". "What happened Captain last thing I remember was the temple and a weird sensation knocking me out"? Captain the explained what happened after the scientist rushed into the room I opened with my ring. Apparently they got so excited that it resulted in the temples defenses triggering and allowed the Xenomorph's loose. "Typical always curiosity that results in others getting hurt or suffering. Sir what's the plan"? Captain Boozer, "We get off this rock and get to the orbiting ship Sun-dive but that's the problem. We got two Predators taking pot shots at anyone taking off Michael's ship was hit mid flight". "Is he ok"? Marine, "He ok but he lost his leg and he needs the medical supplies from the ship he's lost to much blood". "Which direction are the shots coming from"? Marine, "West along the fields the miners used to bring in fresh water". Captain Boozer, "You three get over here… ok your going with Jace he's got lead on this OP. Jace once we get airborne after you take them out well circle over and pick you up.
"But if we find that your dead well make sure to take your bodies. I don't leave marines behind even if they are former". Nodding I said, "Listen you two drop the smart guns and pick up two bags of flares. Switch you pump shotguns to semi auto and be ready. Lastly you pickup fire grenades for your grenade launcher what most don't know is that two much heat overloads their masks sensors. When we see 'em we are going to burn 'em before we start shooting. And don't worry I've got a little surprise for those Predators when we see them". Nodding the Captain showed us to the one of the hanger entrances. Once we cleared the exit they closed it behind us. Lifting my foot I stomped causing my mind to feel the area. "We're clear most of the Xeno's they're staying within the facility for now lets move fast". After two hours of walking one of the marines was getting jumpy. Marine, "Sir the Captain said you once served how did you fight"? "I fought like I still do know I feel and use my mind to sense what my opponent will try to do. Did the Captain ever tell you I stopped three bullets from hitting him"? The marines gasped as I explained, "It was during the riots after one colony was hit by Elites. Sure we killed them but a few people were still really jumpy. One sniper took several shots at us one grasped Michael's leg and the others were trained at the Captain. I used my sword to cut the first two in half then deflect the last one".
Marine, "So that's why the Captain gave you that Elites sword right"? "Yeah we need to escort this stuck up scientist for the Company. And before I could take a trophy from that day their androids called for all the weapons to be taking into their possession. So now I get more then a fair chance to collect a nice few trophies. Still I wonder how far the Predators will go before they understand that not all humans are as weak as they think". Marine, "Sir what rank were you when you left the marines". "I was given the rank of third class sergeant". Marine, "You would have been one more rank away from being a Officer"? Nodding I looked at one line of trees and held up my hand. Most wouldn't have notice that lone branch bent lower then the others. But I didn't notice and my smell scent vision showed the hulking shape causing the branch to bend. Reaching into my weapons belt I pulled a knife then threw it at the perched hunter. The branch snapped back a few times after he jumped I gave the marines the signal. "Pop some flares and flash grenade now"!
As the flares hit the area in front of the Yaujta the marine next to me threw her flash grenade just right. As the flash seemed to hinder the Yaujta's sight I told the marines to open fire. "Take cover along the tree and stay crouched don't give him a clear shot. I need to get close for my last surprise to work". As the marines sent multiple rounds into the Yaujta's body their bullets seemed to do little to hurt him. Smirking I used the modified Yaujta gauntlet form my pack I sent a pulse of plasma energy into the area. Looking out from behind the tree the Yaujta's shoulder plasma canon was deactivated and he took of his helmet. Pissed it saw me leaning against the tree as if nothing was wrong. Taking a breath I began to speck, "You seem angered by my actions but understand this good people are trapped inside that building. Stand aside and let us leave or I will be forced to end you… even though I have a good amount of respect for your people".
Yaujta, "This is my Blooding hunt Ooman you will die along with the hardmeat and I will mount your head on my wall"! As he roared I pulled my katana and released its full length. Taking a defensive stance he tried to use his gauntlets claws to hurt me. Smirking as my blade met each of his attacked I spun low to send a high knee to his jaw. Staggering a little he growled as I held my stance with a smirk on my face. Before long another roared hit the air as the next Yaujta landed a few feet from the other. This one had an odd marks on its arm looking at him I said, "Another ready to battle with honor I suspect". Second Yaujta, "No Ooman I am only here to watch you were the one that killed the other Unblooded pup. Rak'zza kill him and claim his head as a trophy or die with little honor". Growling louder I heard the marines close in but I shouted, "Stay back once I kill this one the other will retreat". Keeping the weapons at the ready the Yaujta pup and I once more engaged one another. Snapping my katana's handle to collapse it I started to use quick strikes at the Yaujta's body drawing blood with each strike.
Smirking I ducked low and caught his legs as he tried to reposition himself. Stabbing my blade into his knee I pulled it forward along his bone causing the bone to stick out. Hissing through his mandibles I sent a strong fist into his jaw. Using a tree to keep himself standing I snapped my blade into his full length and stabbed it through his heart and a portion of the tree. "You fought with honor my young enemy pass on knowing you did well for your first hunt". Yaujta, "Disgusting prey my kind will hunt you all till none of you live". Turning the other Yaujta watched as I pulled my katana free and took the pups weapon and mesh armor. Yaujta, "You fight with honor Ooman but know that now you are marked as wanted prey". "I have killed four Yaujta's and eight Sangheili… just to let you know and also I'm blind". Pulling off my sunglasses I saw the Yaujta's eyeing me to huff and jump away. With the pups weapons in my pack I walked over to the marines and soon heard them get the call from Captain Boozer.
Sitting on the drop ship Captain Boozer tells me that Michael's died from his injuries. Looking at my friend in the body bag I tapped his forehead saying, "You were always a quick draw with that handgun of yours. Still can't find anyone to match it. See you in the next life my friend". Sitting next to the miners they saw me looking over the Yaujta's mask. Miner, "Hey Jace one of the marines said you killed that Predator what was it like"? Smiling I retold the encounter of fighting the Yaujta even tainting the Yaujta in his own language. Captain Boozer, "Shit we got a problem the Sun-drive is reporting two unidentified drop ships heading her way. We need to get onboard and be ready for any kind of hostile attempt". As we landed I walked right over to the waiting area with the other marines. Captain Boozer, "Listen up marines we got two inbound drop ships of unknown origin and unknown amount of combatants. So suite up and get ready to right them off HURRAH"!
Soon the drop ships came into view but it wasn't heading for us it was heading down to the planet. Everyone was surprised even the Captain. Captain Boozer, "What the hell was that about"? "I don't know sir but they were in a hurry for what I sure it must be back at that temple". Captain Boozer, "For now we have to return these people back to Planet Tyrant for proper help and drop off. I'm sure you'll be heading off world some time after that"? "I sure will I was never one to stay in the cities the call of nature is more my nature. Still I has been a good few months has in not"? Nodding at me the Captain had everyone return to hyper sleep for the trip back to planet Tyrant. But something ate at me my dream from earlier in the day. 'That voice what did they mean… I will listen'.
Smiles; Well yeah like, share, and comment and I'LL HUG YOU LATER!
