Nothing or Everything
Chapter: 3
Unknown Welcome Committee
South Pacific Island: Codename Delta
The master spy successfully had landed upon the Sandy shores of the island. It is still night-time outside, so he can use the shadows to his advantage. He looked around for a moment upon the beach to find foot prints of the SAS team that had come.
Taking out of his backpack, he grabbed night vision goggles. Putting on the goggles and activating night vision mode, he also pulled out a machete. Knowing he'll be hiking into the dense jungle to reach the facility.
It was warm out on this cloudy night, but there was no breeze coming from anywhere and it is deadly silent, except for a few crickets chirping. James walked quietly towards the dense jungle and hacked his way into the unknown.
While trekking his way into the dense jungle was not as easy as it seems , but he managed to do what he could and then he smelled an odor like smell, it almost smelled like rotten potatoes and the closer he got, the smell got worse.
He ignored that very smell, until he came upon a scene. He'd found one of the SAS team members dead or what is left of him or her. All there is a charred skeleton like if he or she incinerated by a flamethrower, but the ground seemed untouched.
It was very odd indeed, but afterwards he pressed forward determined to find out what happened here. He read from the report that there are scientists working in the facility and he dared not try to risk contacting the facility.
For starters a surprise would have been lost, whoever took over the place are professionals. So he figured he is dealing with pros and he is a pro himself in which he is the best at what he does in the art of interrogation, assassination, stealth, infiltration, and information gathering.
Among other fine qualities he has, if these people had taken over the island facility, would they had been gone by now or are they still here. He has no answers to those questions and kept on moving in the jungle, until he came up a small clearing.
It wasn't a pretty sight.
From what he came upon the rest of the SAS team are dead, no physical wounds in how they died. He took off the hood of one of them and to his discovery his skin is pale and dry, the eyes are blood-shot.
He is no doctor, but he has seen many ways a person can die and this is a new one to James, as if this man had the very life sucked out of him and so checked on the other team members to find the same thing that happened. All are dead.
What the hell?
And what could have done this?
A strange noise echoed in the background and James quietly ducked into bushes nearby the clearing, something is coming. So he watched and waited, the noise kept coming closer and closer to the clearing until he saw it through the night vision goggles.
What is that?
A creäture is hovering off the ground like a few feet in the air. The body of this creäture is thick, round, and translucent that has a membrane which looks of a jelly fish.
It's no jelly fish he has ever seen. This creäture has a leech-luke maw lies beneath the membrane, and features pairs of mandibles like an octopus. Surely this creäture couldn't have killed these people.
Then a rat moves on the clearing and the creäture to notice, it fired a beam of energy that engulfed the rat and sucked its energy dry. Interesting, but dangerous at the same time and who could have created a creäture like this.
James didn't take any chances, he took out of his backpack a grenade that Q provided for him, he pulled the cord and rolled it under the creäture. The creäture paused at looking at the round object and then the grenade exploded.
The creäture engulfed by ice, then it fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, the ice grenade had worked like a charm and he goes over to take a sample of what is left, and puts it in a bag. He will have Q check it later.
His superiors will never believe him of this, pressing forward he quietly moved into the jungle for a bit. He knows he is getting close to the facility, then through his night vision goggles he discovered something stalking in the jungle.
Another one of those creatures or something else.
It's something else.
He spotted a creäture through his night vision goggles. It looks insect like, carrying some sort of advanced weapon. Now this is truly beyond weird, even for him. James kept a level head about and decided to follow it.
James moved quietly like a ninja moving from left to right in the shadows. The creäture stopped as if it has seen something move, so it went over to the place. It looked around, but found nothing. When it was about to move away, an arm wrapped around its neck and it felt a sharp metal object stab it in the back, followed by a snapping of its neck.
James Bond stood over it, he'd made sure it is dead. Whatever it is and he found no mask on it, this was no costume. This thing is real and almost alien. On the other hand he examined the weapon and it is very advanced, he will put it to good use.
Hiding the body in some bushes, he moved forward in the dense jungle. Echoing in the background was something flying and getting closer, so he ducked and spotted a winged creäture and very large that flew past him.
James decided to follow it to see where it is going. Then he sees it, but the creäture that looks like it isn't alone. Climbing a tree, he sees more of those armed bugs and the winged creäture that looks like a dragon is talking to them, in a language he does not understand.
Then the dragon creäture flies off, leaving the armed bug creatures alone. A bloody dragon, he always thought those things we're made up in fairy tales, but that looked very, very real and nasty too.
Then echoing in the background it is a sound of something coming and he looked to his left to see a fireball coming. Okay now what could this be?
Samus Ship
Samus tried to control her ship the best she could, but navigation messed up due to damage and is descending fast into the planet's at atmosphere. The ship's heat shield is working, for anyone seeing her ship fall it would look like a fireball in the night sky.
She tried to activate the emergency air breaks, but they don't seem functional. She quickly put on her suit and braced for impact, it wouldn't be the time she had crashed landed on a planet and then the impact came.
She got bounced around a bit, until the ship stopped. Is she somewhere on Earth? Only one way to find out, get out and take a look not knowing trouble is nearby. Samus stands upon the lift and pressed the button as it will take her outside.
Nearby
The master spy saw what it was that had landed, a ship and a small one. Those creatures dashed over to check it out and surrounded the craft a couple of yards away. James decided to follow and swinging from the trees like Tarzan.
He took place and noises echoed from the ship. Then a metal person rises up from the ship, those creatures are ready to strike at the robot. So he used the alien weapon to fire a couple of warning shots to get all of their attention.
Then all hell broke loose.
