Sorry it took so long to post his new chapter. I was in a car accident, and had to go to the hospital. Im fine and so is everybody else. It was just to make sure.
On a happier note, this chapter introduces a new point of view. Inuyasha's!
Enjoy!
As the Pelican cleared the shield that protected Hanger 12, Captain Alex watched as the Drop Ship turned toward him, and headed towards dock number 7. Alex was surprised that The Hell Jumpers and The Spartan had found life, but even more surprised at the Spartans decision to bring the aboard. There must be something else going on that he isn't yet aware of; he could feel it, but what? The Drop Ship touched down in the dock, and there was a clank as the docking locks grabbed hold of it, and held it firmly in place. The doors opened with a soft hiss, and the ramp leading into the Pelicans interior descended. A detachment of heavily armored Marines stepped forth, and swept the interior of the Drop ship with their rifles. It was standard precidior, just to make sure this wasn't some cleaver brute hoax. "Clear!" yelled the Lieutenant in charge of the Marines, they then stepped back, making room for Alex to step forward. As he did a giant stepped from the belly of the Pelican, the Spartan stood over 7 feet tall, and was clad in the Green metallic armor they where known to wear. The Spartan walked towards him and snapped into a crisp salute.
Alex returned the salute. "At ease Spartan. What have you got for us?" asked Alex, trying to catch a glimpse of the inside of the Drop ship with out taking his eyes off the Spartan standing before him. "Sir!" said the Spartan, "We arrived inside the planet at 1500 hours. Upon wakening from a state of unconsciousness, I sent a team of three hell jumpers to clear the perimeter of the D.Z., while I scouted the area. The Hell Jumpers came across another life form sir. When they tried to make contact with it, it got scared and ran away. A larger being then chased the first back towards the D.Z.; it wounded a hell jumper in the process. We then set up a defensive perimeter and killed the gigantic beast before it could do anymore harm. Two more of the same creatures then attacked us from or left flank. We killed the first but we couldn't seem to bring the other one down. That's when they arrived." The Spartan gestured with his hand toward the drop ship. Standing on the loading ramp Alex saw the oddest looking group he had ever seen.
Inuyasha stared around the giant hanger. He had never seen so many strange things in his life. Not even any of the things he had seen in Kagomes world look like these things here; he took a deep breath, or smelled like anything from her world either.
He didn't recognize almost any of the smells, but he could distinctly smell blood. Lots of it. "Welcome aboard." Said the strange man James had been talking to. "I am Captain Alex Sonntag, of the New World." They introduced themselves to this, Captain Alex and he shook their hands. "And the stubborn looking one over there is Inuyasha." Said Kagome. "Feh." Said Inuyasha. "Nice to meet you." Said Alex holding out his hand. Inuyasha just looked away. "Inuyasha don't be rude!" said Kagome. "Please excuse him." Said Miroku. "He always acts like this to strangers." Alex withdrew his hand, and turned to face the rest of them." "So, I hear that you are on some sort of quest?" asked the Captain. They explained to him about the sacred jewel shard and Naraku. "I see, that's quite a situation you have on your hands. Well, the UNSC will help you in anyway we can." "We don't need your help!" said Inuyasha. "If you insist, but we are not one to stand idly by while the innocent die." Said Alex, who hadn't even flinched when Inuyasha had snapped at him. "Please forgive him." Said Miroku, "He's just a very stubborn person." "Your one to talk you filthy lecher!" Snapped Inuyasha.
Alex then reached into his pocket. At first Inuyasha thought he was going to attack him, but he just pulled out a small disc and set it in the palm of his hand. "Yeas Ike, what is it?" To Inuyasha's very great surprise, the disc glowed and then a tiny man appeared out of thin air. It looked almost like a spirit, except it had symbols running up and down the length of its body. "I'm terribly sorry to interrupt you sir, but ONI section 13 is on SATCOM for you. They say its urgent." said the strange little spirit. Alex let out a Sigh. "Alright, tell them I'll be there momentarily." Alex caught Inuyasha, and everybody starring at the strange device. "I'm sorry." He said, "This is Ike, our ships Artificial intelligence or A.I." The A.I. gave a short bow "Nice to meet you." It said. Alex then switched the device off, and put it back in his pocket, and turned back toward James. He whispered something to him, but Inuyasha, with his ultra sensitive ears could hear every word. "The Spooks must be up to their old cloaks and daggers tricks again. I told them what you've found, and that you've brought them aboard. They arnt happy. I'll keep you posted." Said Alex. He then turned and faced the group again, "It was nice meeting all of you. But there is business I must attend to. I'm sure that James wouldn't mind showing you around the ship."
There ya go! Hope you enjoyed it!
