Chapter 14
[Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed.]
Genesis 2:8
Balto is staring out the observation window and he hears the door open behind him. He turns around and sees Alex walk in.
He smiles at him. "Ah, Sergeant. How're you today?"
Alex smiles at him. "I'm fine sir. Do you know anything about the chemical the scientists have just made?"
Balto starts to laugh. "Alex, you need to learn to keep your nose out of things that don't concern you. And the chemical has been loaded up in the missiles anyways so it doesn't matter. And besides, how did you find out about the chemical? I don't even know about it."
Alex shrugs his shoulders. "I don't know…anything about it sir."
Alex turns and walks away and Balto watches him leave. He shakes his head and returns his gaze back to the observation window.
Alex is walking down the hallway thinking to himself. 'Order 66: If any officer disrespects the Lord then he shall be removed from command. Command 765: If any officer issues an order that disrespects the Lord than he shall be removed from command. Protocol 56: If our commander is a werewolf…Why did I say werewolf? There are no werewolves in our policies. Well actually, there is one. Order 8000: If a werewolf is sighted within the populace of Eden and/or Nod then the werewolf shall be terminated. That is the dumbest order ever created. There are no…well, he can't really say that. Something has been crawling around Eden and killing the citizens who venture into the woodlands of Eden. And I'll be the one to put a bullet in the fucker's head.'
He keeps walking and he comes across the admiral.
He salutes him. "Sir, permission to be transferred to Eden's unknown regions. That corporal from Nod can replace me sir. I want to hunt that creature down and kill it like a…like a… like a… like a…"
The admiral smiles at him. "Permission granted. You have a sense of duty to protect the populace and I admire that. Go forth with my blessing."
Alex salutes him again and walks towards the hangars. He's going to start a hunt and he won't stop hunting until the creature lies bleeding at his feet and he has the gun pointing directly at its head. His commanding officers want him to kill the creature quickly, but he wants to enjoy the thrill of the hunt. And wherever the beast goes, he wants it to know that he's hunting it and he'll do whatever it takes to bring it down.
Balto hears the door open again and he turns around to see the admiral walk in. He salutes him and the admiral salutes back.
The admiral smiles at him. "I like it how the officers under your command come to me and ask brave questions."
Balto frowns at him. "Who asked the brave question sir?"
The admiral smiles at him again. "Why, Second Sergeant Alex asked for a transfer. He asked if he could hunt the creature down. I told him yes. So you should be proud that we have someone on the hunt again. Hopefully, he does a better job than the last one."
Balto keeps staring at the admiral. "What…What happened to the last one?"
The admiral starts to laugh. "He was eaten. Well have a great day sergeant."
The admiral leaves a stunned Balto behind him.
The aliens are watching the fleet defending the two planets and they decide that the invading fleet will probably attack soon. They need the power or the other aliens will destroy them. If the other group gains any more political power then the whole galaxy is doomed.
In Eden's Unknown Regions, a creature is eating the remains of a hunter. The creature looks like a wolf and yet also like some monstrosity that once was some known creature. The only thing recognizable on this creature was its eyes. Its God awful eyes were the most terrifying thing to be seen. They were as red as blood and when they looked upon you; your heart would stop from fear. This creature has been hunted by hunters for years and the only thing that has happened is that the creature has fed on all of them. Maybe someday soon, a worthy hunter would appear and the hunter shall make great sport. For now, he'll eat the unworthy ones that enter his domain and call upon a hunt. They are the only thing that ruins his day. They offer no real sport so he considers them as food.
A/N: Does anyone know the pattern I was talking about? If you know then review. If you don't, review and PM me (only if you review and I'll tell you). And hopefully we know what the creature is. R&R
