Spike put a cigarette into his mouth as he watched the snow drift to the ground. he had escaped mars, only to find himself sitting in a bar, with julia gone from him forever. he looked at the television screen and sighed. it showed a battle transport, with the hull dug into the sand. bodies were half buried in the sand, faces with terror. some reporter was on the scene.

"well, it looks as if these men had no hope. after only seven remaining alive out of two hundred, you also would be feeling glad that you were spared." she pointed the microphone to a man with a veil on his face. "and sir, exactly how do you feel that your breathing? I know some of your friends were probably deceased in this onslaught." The man pulled back his veil. spike let out a large gasp.

"hmmm i feel.... peachy, just peachy... as i cowered away, my comrades were all exterminated by these Titan barbarians. if i could, i would hunt down every last one of them." Vicious smiled cruelly. "but i have my friends here to help me get through." he pointed to Gren, Xyphenos, And Orious. the reporter looked at them for awhile. "hmm, and it's amazing that you all still have your limbs." the blonde haired vixen of a reporter turned to the screen. " and here is a tragic loss for the martian armies. My name is Judy, back to you Alfred." a Mexican man appeared on the screen and started talking about him and the reporter Judy taking new jobs as hosts for a some show.

Spike's drink was trembling in his hand. It was time. the bruises still showed on his body as a painful reminder of what he had to do. Now was the time to make himself known. he walked out into the drifting snow...

Planet: Titan

Area: Militant Sector 2-34

Orious looked at the mirror. his body was still shaking from the battle. his brown hair and the rings around his brown eyes made it seem as if he hasn't slept in days. sure he had a trim body, but it's what god gave him, a body so he could run quickly in cowardice. the remorse for not fighting with his fellow friends started at his stomach again. the meories of what happened inside the vent was still in his mind.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------flashback---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Xyphenos was crawling down a area marked by light blue lights. it seemed as if he knew where hewas going, because after twenty minutes of jumping down, climbing up and just plain crawling, they arrived to another vent. he kicked the vent out and looked around hiim. Orious looked around, seeing that the room had no doors, but a pack of medical supplies and a crate of food to last them two days. the room shook as another bomb exploded. Xyphenos grabbed a box full of C-4's and gave them to Vicious. "Take Orious and set these in the sand outside. Xyphenos gave a look to Vicious, subtly telling him to make sure it was Orious that pressed the button.

Vicious crawled through the labrinth, orious right behind him. holding a sack of C-4s, Vicious had little time to waste. he knew what Xyphenos had in mind. end the battle, have them survive, and they would become hero's. they went out into the gufire, motars exploding against the ship and in the air. the heat sensors on their visors showed that the battle had taken it's toll on many lives. Vicious grabbed Orious by the shoulder. "look, right now, im gonna plant these bombs at certain points in the sand, when i come back, jump inside and press the button. got that?" Orious nodded and grabbed the little remote detonater. his hands started trembling.

Vicious ran out into the battlefield, his semi in one hand, and the sack of C-4s in the other. a titan was coming straight for him, so Vicious raised his hand and shot without thinking. the man's head flew off his shoulders. vicious grabbed the twitching body and smiled sickly. he stuck a C-4 into the man's neck and ran off to find another place. suddenly his visor chipped as a rock flew at full speed to it. the heat sensor glitched and went away, leaving Vicious with a cracked up sight. he felt for the nearest person and shot them into the stomach. the man fell tothe floor, wondering what was happening to him.

Vicious crawled to the man. he grabbed the man's helmet and tugged it off. he heard the man start screaming untuil the sand filled his mouth. in three seconds, the man's head was buried into the sand. Vicious took a deep breath and quickly took off his helmet. he threw it to the side and felt around for the new helmet. Vicious grabbed the new helmet. quite suddenly, he opened his mouth to gasp for air as a jagged rock slashed his cheek and shoulder. he started to cough as sand entered his lungs. quickly as he could, he put the helmet on and laid onto the ground. everything started to black out. he didn't think this much sand got into his body... but at that moment, everything seemed so far away...

Orious was anxiously awaiting Vicious's return. it had been half an hour since Vicious first left. now he didn't know what to do. xyphenos's voice had came in the radio just then "what's taking you so long?!? it should have been done by now!" Orious was frightened of the prospect of him telling them tht vicious was dead. then another voice came throught the transmitter. "look, i just got stalled, im good to go though, Orious, get inside, i'll be there shortly. this titan soldier is on my tail." Orious went inside, taking no notice of what was happening in front of him

Vicious turned around and grabbed his semi. the titans shot it out of his hand. vicious fell to the sandy floor. he grabbed the man's leg and jerked it forward, causing the man to fsll. Vicious grabbed a machete and brought it upon the man's neck. "disgusting little fool" the blood seeped out of the man as if water from a fountain.

Vicious entered the Fuel chambers. Orious had already gone to the secret room. suddenly, a huge blast knocked Vicious off of his feet. Orious had pressed the button. it was one of the most strangest things vicious ever heard. after the blast, the only noise was that of the howling wind. Vicious looked outside. the titan forces were retreating and the Martian forces were... they were all dead. except for those who were in shock of what happened. but the sand had buried them alive in mere seconds. Vicious sat down, panting heavily. quickly he took off his helmet and started throwing up a gooey substance mixed with sand. feeling weak, he fell to the floor and awaited for the reinforcements to come.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------end flashback--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vicious looked at Xyphenos. he knew what they would have to say. all the blame would go to Orious. a evil smile crept onto Xyphenos's lips. his dark brown hair and hazy grey eyes told that this man was distant. they were going to stand trial, and since he and vicious had been in the same syndicate, he knew how to communicate with him. they entered the room. a comitee of high rankings were seated on a high platform, looking down at the men. the smiles quickly left Vicious and Xyphenos. Gren couldn't testify, on account that he had inhaled so much sand, even more then Vicious.

Two hours passed by before Orious stood trial. something in his stomach told him to run. viciouws passed by, smirking at Orious. Orious knew then that he should run. But with guards all around him, it was more or less, impossible. then a gaurd beckoned him to come.

Orious walked into the room. A Court Marshal stood above him, looking as mundane as she could. a tag above her left pocket gave her name away. Arinia Watershot. she was in her twenties, her shoulder length dirty blonde hair gave her a understanding look. it shaped her face well. with her round brown eyes. she was nimble, and looked as if she knew how to protect herself.

A man loomed himself over Orious. " soldier, why did you do it?" Orious looked up, a little flare of anger rising in him from Vicious's little smirk. "Do what?" the man sighed and put his hands to his face. "why do you deny even doing it? vicious gave enough information to us to lead it to you. you have no use arguing, it won't work. all of us, before you came here, unaminously voted that you were to be sent to pluto."

Before Orious knew what happened, a soldier tazed him from behind and cuffed him. suddenly, he was jerked to his feet and dragged outside, where the winds were hitting up to 30 miles per hour, the Gaurd jerked him to a small Prisoner transport, big enough for seven people. The pilot went into the monopod up front and started the checkup. As the engines revved, Orious looked around timidly. Four guards were looking straight at him with eyes full of Hatred. Orious could do nothing but wonder why. the ship left the ground and made it's way to the Prison Transport, big enough to hold at least 1,000 prisoners.

It had been a god twenty minutes in the three hour ride when it happened. the pilot in the Monopod told them to expect some chipped glass as they were passing the small sandstorm. Suddenly a Huge explosion to their right sent the vehicle veering to the right. the pilot turned around and shouted hoarsely.

"titans! titans! hiding in trenches!" he was about to yell something else, but the monopod became sprayed with blood as a small missle impaled him through the head. the guards looked in terror and opened the back door. they all jumped out cept for one, who stood by Orious.

"maybe now, you'll get what you deserve!" suddenly, the guards face became riddled with bullets, spraying blood all over Orious. a Mortar exploded underneath the ship, causing it to lean, as if a dog on it's hind-quarters. Orious tumbled out into the air. it was around twenty feet till he hit the ground.

Suddenly, a stray bullet whizzed by his back, breaking the chain of the handcuffs. his hands flailed in front of him, and the ground came up fast. with a loud "OOMPH!", he hit the ground. above him, the ship exploded. A survivng guard came up to orious, a look of hatred in his face. his hands went around Orious's neck and started strangling. Orious did likewise and started choking him back.

Orious had a face of determination. "what - hack- did i do wrong?" the guard looked angrily at him. "you kille-hack!- my brother when y-hack-ou blew them up! you kill-heck- everyone! your a wa-heck-r criminal!"

Realisation hit Orious hard. The guard took this chance to throw Orious's head into the sand. quickly, the sand started to cover Orious's head. Orious's hands fumbled around, looking for something to femd himself with. his hand came upon a gun in the guards holster. he quickly took it out and shot the guard. the body plopped down on top of him. Orious olled the body off of him and looked around to find the two remaining guards.

One was dead already, shot when he was falling through the air, and the other one was running back to the base. from a short distance, Orious heard the engines of the titan force coming to check on the bodies. Orious quickly grabbed a oxygen mask from the dead guard's side and dug into the sand. he strapped the airhole from it to his mouth and lay in the sand. In two minutes, his head was more or less covered in the sand, so was half his body. the titan forces gave a small glance at the bodies and considered them dead. (you must remeber, Orious is dripping in blood from the ship and the guard he just fought) two minutes later, Orious broke free of the sand. the titan forces all moved out, towards the base.

He took all the survival packs from the dead guard and left him. his vengeance against Vicious and Xyphenos was to take plan as soon as he found some cover from the sand storm. he walked towards the east, not knowing what lay before him.

(ok, what did you think of it? good? please review!)
