Author's Note: Hello! I read this week's reviews, and I saw one vote for how this chapter should go... And I mentally threw up. This is an action fic, not a smut-fic. Sorry, guest. You'll need to search for shit-eating somewhere else. I will also be writing a Star Wars: TOR crossover with Brothers in Armor, including my 5 SWTOR characters! I am Duuuuuuuuudeeeee, I got the dude-osity like nobody else (BTW I recently got LOST PLANET 3 and I'm looking for someone to play online with. There is literally nobody online.).
===PLANET E.D.N III, NEVEC DOCKING BAY===
After a long and time-consuming spacial flight in a UNSC shuttle (They left Master Chief and his AIs to tend to Gamma Station), Gamma Team had finally arrived on E.D.N III, on the docking bay of a NEVEC base. The planet was way below freezing, so the team had to resort to specialized NEVEC protective suits (NEVEC Black Ops starting armor from LP2). They entered the base, and saw a grouping of people discussing something.
"Hello?" Ryan said.
"Huh? Oh... Hello Ryan. I'm officer Braddock. This is Doctor Roman, our good friend Hutchings, our expert Rig driver Laroche, and my right-hand-man, Jim Peyton. I didn't recognize you at first as any more than a few NEVEC soldiers."
"Ah, fuck with apologies, I get it. This planet nearly frosted our armor over, so we had to resort to these pieces of shit."
"They're actually quite strong and durable, as long as your T-energy tank is intact. That thing breaks, and it's game over."
"Got it."
"Your weapons won't be any use against the Akrid, and you need a Rig, so I'd reccommend that you check with our quartermaster, Birdie, for guns and a knife, and then head over to Gale and get your Rigs."
"Where can we find them?"
"Jim, could you show the new arrivals where to find their supplies?"
"Yeah. Alright guys, follow me." Jim said.
"Got it." Ryan replied, as he and his team followed Jim.
Jim lead them through a hallway to an elevator, and they all entered (Except for Ric, who was sent to the medical bay for assessment on his lethal injection). When they reached the bottom floor, they saw a holo-sign that read: SUPPLY FLOOR. QUARTERMASTER, GALE'S WORKSHOP.
"Alright... Let's start with getting you guys some real guns. Guns that will actually kill Akrid." Jim said, leading them to Birdie's gun shop. Ryan chose a Shotgun with the stock attachment, Joe chose a Hunting Rifle w/scope, Trent picked up a Pulse Rifle, the twins chose Assault Rifles w/extended clip, and Tweezer picked a Particle Thrower (Now he can set things on fire... Great). Ryan chose a Grenade Launcher for Ric, and they headed to Gale's workshop after getting knives.
When they got there, Jim got a transmission from Coronis-Actual.
"Jim, we need you up here... Get your Rig, 'cause there's a Cat-G Akrid attacking the base!"
"On my way! Sorry guys, I gotta go. Meet up with Gale and get your stuff."
"M'kay, Jim." Joe said as Jim ran at top speed to the elevator. The team walked into the workshop, which was seemingly abandoned, until a friendly voice greeted them.
"Hey, Gamma. I'm Gale. I know, it's a girl's name, but my parents were expecting a girl and this was all they could think of... Anyways, welcome to my workshop!"
The team looked around to see an 18-ish male leaning against a wall in his kiosk. He was holding a NEVEC Pistol and his face had a smug look about it.
"You're Gale? But you seem so... Young." Crouton said.
"Yeah, I get that sometimes. Working for NEVEC brings in a good pay, so I can get myself a home after I graduate."
"Graduate...? You're... Not even o-out of c-college?"
"Hahah... Nah, man I left college a while ago... I'm just messin with that head o' yours."
"Phew..."
"Anyways... Y'all are gonna see your rigs in the 2nd floor. I'll meetcha there."
"Um... Ok." Ryan said, slightly confused.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing... Nothing. It's just... I didn't expect all of the rigs to be set and done."
"Yeah, well, I am a fast worker."
"I can tell. We'll meet you in the Rig bay."
"Gotcha."
===FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER, RIG BAY===
Yes, fifteen minutes later... Dont judge Gamma Team, it's their first time in the base.
"Hey, Ryan! Ready to see your new Rig?"
"Ready as I'll ever be... Show me, kid."
"Alright, then... Here she is."
Gale pressed a button on the controller he was holding, and a set of doors opened and out came a massive bipedal vehicle with a claw arm and a drill arm, with three drills in a triangle formation. It had an enormous storage tank on its back and the entire thing had a thin layer of frost over it. However, the frost didn't stop it from moving, as the vehicle's arms lowered and the cockpit opened, and a rope slid down in front of Ryan. He pulled down on it, and got pulled up to the cockpit. He hopped in, the cockpit closed, and the control system lit up.
"Alrighty, Ryan, nice job. You already figured out the kern-retractors. Now, throw a punch with that drill."
Ryan pressed a button on his control lever, and the drill arm threw a punch.
"Hey... Where's the rest of my team?"
"They're already fighting the Cat-G Akrid in their Rigs. Now, grab something with that claw."
Ryan threw a lever forward, and pressed the button on top, causing it to grab a large steel canister, which he then dropped.
"Nice... Now I need you to drill into that patch of ice next to you."
Ryan turned around, and moved his drill arm forward, then pulled the trigger on his drill arm lever, causing the ice to shatter from the drills boring into it.
"Good. You're all set. Go get that Cat-G... Wait... It's growing?! Now it's an Over-G?! Crap. Go, Ryan! Go get 'im!"
The exit door opened, and Ryan walked over to them, exited, and saw nothing for a second... And then a huge, black-and-orange monster with two cocoon-launcher pods near its mouth shot its enormous tongue at Ryan, who dodged just in time. Then he saw the others in their Rigs...
This was gonna be one hell of a fight.
Author's Note: Akrid assailant 0001: Hiveen. The first Cat-G Akrid that the player encounters in LP3. Ric is still in the mad bay. He decided to take the treatment. I am Duuuuuuuuudeeeee, I got the dude-osity like nobody else.
