Chapter Four: An Unwanted Encounter Day one; 2:15 p.m.
Atop the clouds, in the smeared, orange sky, a Coalition ship cruises. Inside, Corporal Lenart becomes agitated and bored with flying around. The skies have emptied themselves of life aside from her. Not even any other Coalition ships are in the air anymore. "Where the hell did all the others go?" Corporal Lenart asks herself, spying out across the clouds. She tries using her radio to contact main base, but the radio has lost contact. She lowers her altitude to below the clouds, searching for any sign of other Coalition air forces. The skies remain desolate of other life. Corporal Lenart, getting confused, tries using the radio again, but the radio only gives her static. She turns the radio down a little bit so the static doesn't hurt her ears and continues flying. Gradually, the static becomes louder. The volume on the radio hasn't been touched at all, but the static remains in it's accelerating noise. Suddenly the static cuts, and one of the ship's rear boosters blow out. The explosion tears off the steering wing on that side and the ships begins plunging downward. Corporal Lenart realizes she has no other choice, and hits the eject. The button is broken and she takes it right off by pushing it.
"NO!! These ships are inspected!! I couldn't have missed that being broken!!" Corporal Lenart panics, propelling to wards the ground. Tears roll down her cheek and she lets out a shriek.
In the forest, a group of people stand in a clearing, watching the ship falling down towards them. They all remain there, waiting for the ship to plummet into the ground before them, and salvage whatever they can from the wreck. The ship comes within 20 feet of the ground, when it's emergency thrusters flare out at an extreme intensity. The force is enough to blow over all the people standing there, and stop the ship for a couple seconds, before it falls onto the ground. Without even half of a second to spare, the people crowd to the ship, tearing it apart. One of the people slams their body onto the glass of the ship, staring down the barrel of a machine gun. A hysterical hissing blares out and lasers erupt from the cockpit. The enraged pilot jumps out on top of the fallen ship, and starts firing wildly at all the people around her.
All of the people are humanoids, but all have no clothing, several scars on their bodies, and most of them have some kind of weapon plunged into their body. Some with knives sticking out of them, some with axes, hatchets, spears, arrows, and piercing tools of the sort. They demon people swarm up around Corporal Lenart, attempting to climb up and attack, but She is quick enough with the machine gun to hold them all at bay. Corporal Lenart stops to reload the gun, and realizes that the demon people have stopped. All of them in a state in which no normal human could live with. Bullet holes scored over all of them add to the collection of damage to their bodies. They're all just standing there, staring intently at Corporal Lenart. She finishes reloading and takes advantage of the situation, and fires off more rounds amongst the creatures. The clan of demon people fall under the fire of the machine gun, and all of them begin emitting a strange crimson-coloured smoke. Corporal Lenart checks the gun, and discovers that it only has a few more shots left in it, and she doesn't have any other clips.
Tossing the gun, Corporal Lenart jumps down from atop the crashed ship. She starts searching through the bodies for any kind of weapon that she could take from them and use to defend herself with. A rather large collection of weapons exists in the bodies of all the demon people, but the majority of them are broken. Satisfied with a pick axe that was sticking out of one of the demons' back, she stands and examines the blade. Corporal Lenart looks up, and instantly becomes frightened. Standing before her, is another of the demon people, just staring at her, it's hands raised above it's head, holding a brick. It squints it's eyes and sticks out it's tongue, laughing crazily. The brick suddenly flies through the air and strikes Corporal Lenart in the head, knocking her unconscious...
