Well they've finaly landed in Inuyasha's universe! It's only a matter of time until they encounter something, wouldn't you think? You keep reviewing I keep writeing!
Enjoy!
James's eyes snapped open. He had a terrible head ache, his limbs felt numb, and he could feel a sharp pain in his left wrist. Good, that meant he was alive. He looked up at the screen in front of him, and read the computers report of the environment outside. No hostile activity… that should give them time to regroup and clear the area for the pelican drop ships that where inbound.
He wondered if the pilots would also pass out from passing through the gate, as he and the Hell Jumpers apparently had. He shook the thought from his mind, even if they did, the drop ships where equipped with an auto pilot computer for just such a case.
He grabbed the Assault rifle lying next to him in the HEV and shouldered it as best he could in the cramped space. He then hit the release for the HEV's door and it burst open, flying 5ft. before crashing into the ground. He swept the area with his rifle, all clear.
He then checked his armors motion detector. It to read all clear. He then turned back to the HEV and began striping it of equipment, all the while keeping one eye on his motion detector. He also checked the Hell Jumpers BIO signs, and apart from the occasional bruising and one concussion they showed all green.
Sgt. Ryan was the first of the Hell Jumpers to wake up. His head felt like someone had taken a metal bat to it. He shook it to get the stars out of his eyes. He then checked the bio signs of the rest of his squad. No problems.
He hit the door release for his HEV and jumped out, sweeping the area with his BXR-4. All clear. He could see a Spartan about 8 yards away from him, already striping his HEV of equipment and supplies.
Ryan had had the honor of fight along side a Spartan once before. That was the only time in his combat career that he had not lost one of his men to the Brutes. The Spartans where methodical, perfect killing machines.
But the great thing about them, to Sgt. Ryan at least, was that they cared about every soldier, and every civilian. So much so that they would die for them. When he thought about it, wasn't that what being a soldier is all about?
Pushing those thoughts form his mind, he to started unloading his HEV of its supplies; 2 weeks worth of food, 1 Submachine gun, a pistol, ammo, field kit, and a med kit. "Where's the kitchen sink?" thought Ryan, a small grin on his face. While he was doing this the rest of his men also began to wake up, and unload their HEV's.
"Sergeant." said a voice from behind Ryan. He turned around and saw that the Spartan he had seen was now making his way over to him. The Spartan was easily over 7ft. tall, and looked like a machine they way it moved toward him.
"SIR!" Sgt. Ryan saluted him. "At ease Sergeant." said the Spartan, "I want you to have a 3 man patrol check out the perimeter of the D.Z. We have to make sure the area is secure for the Pelicans when they arrive. Rules of engagement, do not fire unless fired upon. You get me?" "Yes sir!" said Ryan "Loud and clear sir!" And like a ghost the Spartan vanished before Ryan's eyes, probably to conduct his own patrol. God damn he was fast.
As the patrol of ODST's cleared the heavily wooded perimeter of the D.Z., they quietly talked amongst themselves. "So… what do you think the brass expects us to find here anyways?" asked Pvt. Steve.
"I don't know, maybe forerunner technology or something." Answered Corporal Geno. "I just hope we don't run into any Sentinels." said Pvt. Andrew or 'Drew'. Geno and Steve laughed. "What's the matter Drew?" asked Steve "Nervice in the service?"
"You've heard Sarge talking about them!" said Andrew. "They're really hard to fucking kill. Sarge once told me that his C.O. fired two rockets at one and nothing happened to it. Not even a scratch!" "Yeah, yeah." said Geno. "Shut up!" said Steve, suddenly coming to a halt. He raised his hand, and the three of them dropped into a crouch.
"You hear that?" asked Steve. There was a strange humming sound, coming from the other side of a bush 8ft. from them. It sounded, to Geno, like a little kid humming. Geno made a quick series of hand motions to Steve.
Steve nodded back and slowly started to make his way over to the bush, going around it instead of right through it. When he finally cleared the edge of the bush he saw a strange creature gathering what looked like apples.
It looked like a little kid but at the same time, if he had to guess, he would say it looked like a fox. He could hear it mumbling to itself. "Stupid Inuyasha. Why dose he always have to pick on me? Why can't he go and get his own stupid fruit?" said the tiny fox like creature.
"What the hell…" Muttered Steve under his breath. "Did you find anything Steve?" asked Geno over the team freq. "Uh…yeah. I found…well… something." answered Steve. "You better come take a look at this for yourself Cpl."
5 seconds later, Geno and Andrew were beside him, with Andrew watching the rear. All the while Steve never took his eyes off the strange creature. "What the hell..." said Geno when he saw the creature, mimicking Steve. They sat there and watched the child like creature collect fruit for a full 2 minutes.
"Should we try to talk to it"? Asked Andrew suddenly, not using his external speakers so that the little creature wouldn't hear them. "Uh… yea." said Geno. He nudged Steve. "Go ahead Steve, talk to it". "Me! Why me!?" asked Steve.
"Because Drew's watching the rear and i'm your superior officer." said Geno. "That's a lame excuse…" said Steve. "Just do it!" said Geno, a little impatience in his tone. "Alright, alright." said Steve.
He turned on his external speakers, and cleared his throat to try to get the little fox things attention. It immediately froze, an apple halfway to a little bag it had with it. "Uh…" said Steve "Hi there."
The little fox thing turned around and stared up at Steve, its mouth open in a mix of horror, surprise and shock. It then yelled and ran away. Steve then realized that a 6.2 tall unknown being, dressed in all black armor from head to toe, with a silver-purplish visor, probably didn't look to friendly to such a small creature.
"Wait to go Steve." said Andrew. "You really know how to make a good first impress…" All of a sudden there was an extremely loud roar, coming from the general direction the little fox kid had just run. Seconds later the little creature ran back towards them, its arms flailing.
"Run!" it yelled. And ran away from them again in the opposite direction. "What in the name of…" said Geno. There was an enormous crash behind them. They turned to find out what the cause of the crash was and saw a gigantic red creature staring at them, looking generally furious.
The creature stood at least 14ft tall, had 2 horns on its head, and wore a necklace of bone. Human looking bones some of them. "Holy Sh…" but before Andrew could even get the words out of his mouth, the enormous read creature pulled back its right arm and hit Andrew into a near-by tree.
Andrew tried to get back up but fell down and didn't try again. Geno and Steve opened fire with their rifles, peppering the gigantic creature with lead. But all the bullets seemed to do was annoy the creature. And it swung back its arm again, and sent a blow towards Geno.
Geno rolled to the ground and barley avoided the monsters deadly blow. "Fall back!" yelled Geno. Steve immediately began backpedaling towards the L.Z. All the while firing at the enormous creature now chasing him and Geno. Branches tore at his armor but he ignored them.
The creature then decided to try something new. It jumped into the air with tremendous force, and slammed into the ground 4 Ft. behind them, making them stumble; they recovered, turned, and broke into an all out run.
Steve keyed the Squad Freq. and yelled "Contact! Hostile connect! We have a man down, and are being pursued by a very large hostile contact." Steve the fired his rifle over his shoulder, peppering the monsters stomach with even more bullets. The creature roared at them so loud that he couldn't hear what Sarge was saying over the radio.
They finally exited the woods, and immediately saw that the rest of the ODST's where lined up in a beta formation, with the Spartan in the middle. Geno and Steve both dived to the ground just in time. "Fire!" yelled the Spartan.
The group all fired in union, their rifles sending round after round down range into the hostile. Again and again rounds tore into the enormous red creatures head and torso, sending its blood spattering onto the grass. The creature fell dead to the ground.
Before James even had time to wonder what the enormous creature now lying dead at his feet was, two more roars sounded off to his left. "2 more coming left!" shouted the Hell jumper to his right.
"Shift you fire left!" shouted James. The humongous monsters came charging across the field at them. James and the Hell Jumpers opened fire on them. The one to the right fell under the onslaught of bullets.
But the other just seemed to refuse to go down, and continued to charge at the line of soldiers, ignoring the lead that tore into its body and sent chunks of meat flying out, which mysteriously seemed to heal instantly.
"Another contact! Behind us!" Before James could even bring his gun around to face the new enemy, a red blur flashed across his face plate. This one was fast, really fast, James could barley track its movement. It landed slightly to the left of the Hell Jumpers and James.
James then heard it cry "Wind Scar!" The titanic monster yelled and exploded into a cloud of bones and meat. The new creature turned to face them.
