Lone Soldier
" At the edge of chaos,
unexpected outcomes occur. The risk of survival is severe."
Blue and white light illumination the entire cabin
as we went through the time portal. We had reached the Jurassic period, this is
were our mission begins. As a member of T.R.A.T, it is our job to save over
three thousand survivors of the third energy accident and recover the three
energy data. Ray Gaster felt the rumble
of the ship's engines beneath his feet as he got up from cold seat and walked
out on to the side dock of the boat. Looking at the vast jungle, things that he
never seen before in his life. As a kid he had always loved dinosaurs like
every other kid, but he never thought that he would be seeing them in person. A
loud high-pitched squawk come from above, a pterodactyl, dark brown, swoops
majestically over the armored boat. It looks like it was studying the large
ship, its eyes scanning over the crew. Ray's eyeballs grow wide from the shock
as the dinosaur's long beak slips into the waves of the water like a knife
through butter, pulling a flopping fish out.
The pteradon flies back into the jungle, ray still stood in
astonishment, awaiting for other dinosaurs to appear.
The boat was docked at a shipping yard and the
T.R.A.T members began to set up a base camp not that far from there. Ray
grabbed his M4A1 assault rifle, loaded a fresh clip into the butt of it and
stepped out of his tent. Ray walks pass some other T.R.A.T members talking
about the mission briefings as he looked around. He strides over to some very
odd-looking plants, a small rustling from behind a arced leaf makes ray turn
his head up. A small yellow compy hops
out, it climbs up on to Ray's combat boot. Its small jaw began to chew on one
of his shoelaces, ray kicks the compy off. The tiny dinosaur lands on his feet
and goes for Ray again, but this time it leaps on to his arm The compy gets a
firm grasp on a piece of flesh on his hand, drawing blood. Ray flicks its off
into the brush again, and draws out his Glock 35 with scope from his side
holster. Ray aims and fires a single round; blowing the compy's small head
clean off its small snake neck. Shots ring out through the jungle area, and
then a blood cudleing scream. Ray beings to ran over to where he heard the yell,
with his M4A1 rifle ready in his hands. His eyes then catch what made the
noise; a 2-meter raptor, dark brown with black stripes running along its back,
was bent over a dead black T.R.A.T member. The black soldier's intestines hung
out from his stomach as the velociraptor chew on them. Ray backed up and let
lose with his assault rifle, the NATO rounds slicing through its soft skin. The
bullets ripped apart its side, exposing its rip cage. The raptor let out a cry,
and falls off to the side. Ray turned
and ran, knowing his only hope for survival was to reach the boat. Another raptor jumped in front of him,
knocking Ray down. He stumbles to his feet and blind panic and pulls the heavy
trigger of the M4A1 rifle. Bullets spit out of the nozzle of the weapon and
tear through the dinosaur's back, destroying its spine. The raptor drops to the
ground, crimson blood oozed out of the wounds on the raptors back. Ray stepped
over the corpse and went on down the jungle trail. The ground shook lightly
under his feet, Ray stopped and looked around. Tree trunks snap and crash to
the ground as the giant Tyrannosaurus rex 's head breaks through the canopy.
Growling and pissed off at something, its eye catches Ray standing in amazement
at him. The T-rex lets out a mighty bellow, before it charges him; the T.R.A.T
soldier turns and bolts from the huge beast as it chases him through its turf.
Ray headed down a long path and veered off to the right, a chain linked fence
stood in his way. Ray climbed over the top with all of his stenght, hearing the
T-rex's loud footsteps made him push himself harder. Ray disarray, gets the tip
of his boot caught in one of the openings on the top of the fence. He flips
over the top and hits the ground hard, knocking him unconscious.
Ray wakes up slowly, rubbing the top of his helmet
with his hand. He looks over the area not knowing were he is or which way the
boat is. Ray sets up; a low bellow comes from behind him. Ray spins around
ready to shot, he founds himself face to face with a stegosaurus. His nerves
settled down and his gun drops back down to his waist. The gentle beast roams
off towards a horde of about five of them. Ray got up, and held his gun tight
in his hands as he looked around. Ray
walked through the wheat field, following the stegosaurus for sometime. The
giant beast headed back into the jungle and a small hiss rides the wind. Ray
stops and then he sees the stegosaurus being to run, stomping through the thick
jungle. A raptor leaps out from under the thick jungle brush, jumping onto the
side of one of the stegosaurus. The raptor tears off a chuck of fleshy tissue
from the beast's side. The stegosaurus cried and bellowed as the raptor rips in
to it, Ray takes aim with the rifle and fires a burst of three rounds into the
head of the velociraptor. It collapses on the ground on the side, Three more
raptors rush out of the under brush full speed at him. Ray trains his aim and
pulls the trigger " click." Ray
looked down at the gun, " empty." Ray threw the gun to the ground and pulls out
his small Glock 35. He takes aim with both hands and fires a single bullet into
the head of the raptor, right between its eyes. The second one rounds off to
the left of ray and the third one bends off to the right. Ray rolls in front of
them and turns around. Ray pulls the trigger three times, hitting the first
twice in the cranium and the third once. Ray takes in a deep breath of relief
and picks up his assault rifle; he ejects the empty magazine and reloads it
with a fresh one. " I don't know how I am going to survive with just one more
clip for the M4A1 and two for the Glock 35." Ray stood in the jungle trying to
found where he was; he stood on a dirt path with a chin-linked fence racing in
front of him. A small sign was next to the door leading into another small part
of the jungle, the sign read " fuel depot." Ray opened the fence door, and
walked in. The place was over grown with jungle marsh; two jeeps were parked in
front. The walls of the building were dirty and darkly stained in several
places with what looked like blood. Ray looked in the back of the jeep; a
brownish green backpack laid there tore up. Ray unzipped it and looked around
inside, pulling out two flares, a tape player, a small Glock 17 with a rusted
trigger, and a clip for the Glock. Ray took the two flares and the extra clip
in stuffed them in his side pouch. Ray look over the fuel depot, two gas tanks
laid off to the side and a silver fuel tanker was parked next to them. Ray
walked a few feet then he stopped suddenly. A gray disk flies in front of his
chest, spinning; it hits the wall and explodes into an array of orange and red.
Ray turns to see two men dressed entirely in black with motorcycle helmets
covering their faces from Ray's suspicious eyes. The two walk round the nervous
T.R.A.T member, still pointing the disk shooters at him. Ray circle with one of
them, looking him in the black plastic cover were his eyes would be. The one facing him looks for an opening and makes a move. He takes a couple of steps and fires his gun at Ray's head. Ray
ducks the diskette and sends a kick into his stomach. Ray spins around sharply and fires two smoking rounds into the
chest of the other mysterious man. He collapses to the terrain with two blood
trails following him down to the ground with him. The shadowy character bolts
from Ray in the opposite direction.
Ray walks over and kneels down beside the dying man. Ray sets his
assault rifle down next to him and places his hands on the man's helmet. Ray slowly
pulls off the black covering; Ray drops it to the ground in shock. He looks
down at the face of a dying sixteen-year-old kid laying in front of him. Ray wished that he hadn't have done that,
but there is nothing he can do now, that it has already been done. Ray
gradually got back to his feet, a loud metallic crashing sound makes ray turn
his attention towards the back corner of the lot. The fuel taker was on its
side and sliding his way, a deafening roar is heard from behind. The scaly head
of the allosaurus appears from at the rear of the fuel taker. The dark blue and
purple head rounds the corner and lets out a howl of excitement as it hopes out
into the open. Ray lifts the heavy rifle to his eye and trains his aim on the
allosaurus's neck; he pulls the trigger, firing several rounds off at
once. The bullets pierce the soft skin
of the allosaurus's neck, chucks of white and blue flesh tear off, and blood
spits from the wounds. The allosaurus bucks its head up in pain, as Ray begins
to run from the injured beast. Ray withdraws his handgun, turning around before
he leaves. The allosaurus waves its head back and forth in pain; ray takes aim
and fires to clean shots into the metal haul of the fuel taker, igniting it. A
blaze of fire washes over the land, scorching and burning everything in its path.
The allosaurus crashes to the ground charred, ray wiping the sweat off his
brow, whirls round towards the metal fence and leaves.
Getting
through the metal fence door and making his way back down the jungle path. Ray
enters the hot rain forest and founds himself suddenly sliding down a steep
slope. Ray tumbles out into a wide-open dirt path, huge trees roots stick out
from the soft dirt of the earth. Ray follows down the path and was now in a
world of tall grass. A loud cracking
sound turns ray away from the path in to the lofty wavy grass, Ray pushes a
large section of grass aside, uncovering a small nest. A greenish blue dinosaur
about two feet high was bent over, pecking at the un-hatched eggs that laid in
the nest. The small animal twirls around to face ray, it lets out a bubbly roar
from its throat. It's mouth drops open and its spits out a yellow fluid, making
its way towards ray chest. The highly trained T.R.A.T soldier sidestepped the
attack and lets out a storm of bullets. Ripping through the Ovrliraptor chest,
destroying major organs. Other scream comes from behind him as more leap
through the tall grass. One lands a jump kick to Ray's left shoulder, knocking
him to the ground. He stubbles to get his weapon ready as they closed in on him.
Ray shots randomly in the air, hitting several that had turned and run. Ray
steadies his aim on one that scampered away, and pulls the craved trigger. The
gun clicks empty and ray throws it, disappearing in the high grass. Ray swears
under his breath and pulls out his Glock 35 from his side holster. He holds it
tightly in both hands knowing that it's the only thing that is going to help
him survive this nightmare. Ray walks through the deep grass and heads into the
sinister jungle again. The ground shakes violently, dust clouds engulfs Ray. A
herd of white triceratops tramples in front of him, running from something. A
new sound covers over the trampling sound of the Triceratops; a furious bellow
fills the valley. A huge t-rex looking dinosaur breaks through the trees, its
red skin reflecting the sun's light. Its giant jaws clamp down on the back of
one of the Triceratops, blood spilling to the ground. The Gigantonsaurus lifts
into the air and snaps its back in its powerful jaws, killing it. It brings the
dead triceratop back down to the ground and begins to eat its tough flesh. Ray,
stun, watches the animal eat from a safe distance, hiding in a row of plants. "
There is no way I am going to continue to exist if this is the only thing I
have to protect myself with." Ray
thinks as he holds the small gray handgun to his face. Ray slowly drops back
from the site of the gruesome battle. He heads back into the jungle lost,
confused, and frighten that thing will come back for him. Ray heads through the
thick jungle trying to found a path that he can follow back to the boat. A squawk comes from above and a pterodactyl
dives straight down, its talons wrapping around Ray's shoulders. He is lifted
up into the air rough, Ray struggles against the beast's grip it had around his
shoulders. Ray raises his gun to the chest of the beast and fires three clean
shots into its soft skin. The pterodactyl releases its hold and crashes to the
ground, ray free falls, and lands stomach first on a thick tree branch. Ray
grasps for breathes and turns his head to something that caught his eye when he
was falling. The crates of the shipping yard could be seen from where he was;
also the black frame of the boat was in clear view. Ray's eyes glittered with
excitement as he climbs down the tree, landing hard on the ground. Ray runs
towards the fence gate opening it, he runs not seeing the drop off in front of
him. Ray lands back first in the water, a low hiss rounds the corner of a huge
tree. A velociraptor appears in front of him, another one comes out of hiding,
hissing and growling at him. More and more come out to greet him. Ray jumps to
his feet, ready to fire, he pulls the trigger firing two shots before the clip
emptied. The raptor, un-hit, rears its clawed foot back and slashes ray through
his right thigh. In horrible pain ray drops to the ground holding his wound leg
as blood oozes out, covering his hands in red liquid. A tremor shakes the area
and the raptors retreat back into the dark safeness of the jungle. The giant
form of the monster that attacked the triceratop back a while ago was standing
in front of him. Foam lining its mouth as it let out a fierce roar. Ray turns
and crawls towards the rusted metal fence as the Gigantonsaurus moves in for
the kill. Ray's hand reaches up and touches the handle of his freedom;
Gigantonsaurus's mouth lifts him off the ground, scooping him up in his jaws.
Its white teeth glinting in the sunlight before they came down ending the
fearless soldier's life.
