Chapter 1: Lone Soldier

Year 2342, The lights began to blind Kenneth as he lay still on the examination table talking with Dr. Cott of the Marine Corp Medical Staff. The doctor looked at him and asked, "Ken is something bothering you, you look tired."

Kenneth looked back up at the doctor and said, "Jon, I've been having rough nights, the same dream over and over again."

Dr. Cott looked down at his patient and asked, "I'm not a psychologist, but tell me about it."

Ken closed his eyes trying to remember the dream and began to tell Dr. Cott about it, "Well, I remember a women dieing in my arms, I'm dressed like one of them, one of those monsters, well, anyway, I run to the edge of the roof I'm on and I look down and see Aliens and Predators fighting hand-to-hand combat in the street. After that a bullet strikes me in the heart and I fall to the streets below."

Dr. Cott looked at Ken and said, "You know your not like everyone else."

Ken got off the table, grabbed his shirt and put it on as he said, "I know, I'm one of them."

Dr. Cott looked at ken and said, "No, your not like them your still human."

Dr. Cott smiled and said, "Come Ken, let us meet the new recruits."

Ken and Dr. Cott walked down the hall and Ken looked out the window at the ship about to dock, when he had felt a strange presence aboard the ship. As they entered the docking bay the recruits began to flock into the orientation room. Dr. Cott and Ken walked over to the front table and sat down with General Lith and Corporal Moody. Corporal Moody rose up and began his speech, "Young Soldiers of the human race. Welcome to the Marine Corp. As you know we are in a war against two of gods most horrifieing creations, the two races we have dubbed the Alien and the Predator. I'd like to introduce General George Lith, our strategic commander, Dr. Jon Cott, our Medical Chief, and Kenneth Lenson, our Medal of Honor parcipatant."

During the speech, a new recruit arose and said, "How could you trust that halfling."

Corporal Moody, with an angry grin said, "He may be a halfling, but he is the most trusted man in this Corp, your sorry hide would have been the aliens next meal if it wasn't for this man."

After the orientation the new recruits reported to their barracks in wings A and B. Later that night while the Corp was eatting Ken was in the training room perfecting his sniper skills, when he noticed the captured Predator hand-to-hand Combat weapon near the wall. He put down his gun and walked over the the weapon. When he touched it, the weapon began to feel cold, like ice, in Kens hands. Ken picked it up and walked over to the training mat.

He began to spin it in his hand and then went to a combat stance. He focused on the VR alien beginning to shape in front of him. When it had fully appeared Kenneth began to combat it with the stolen weapon. When the alien charged at him, Ken flipped over the Alien and stabbed it. After the Hologram disapeared anouther Veteran recruit walked into the room slowly clapping his hands.

Ken turned to him and said, "What do you want Tom."

Tom turned to Ken and said, "Tuff talk coming from a halfling," picking up his sword he continued, "but not as tuff as a human."

Ken saw Tom strike and moved right before the sword hit him. Ken looked at Tom and asked, "Tom what the hell are you doing."

Tom looked at Ken and said, "An eye for an eye halfling."

Ken dodged anouther one of Toms blows and asked, "Is this about your brother, Joey."

Tom sliced at Ken and said, "You left him there to die you traitor."

This time Ken blocked the attack and looked into Toms eyes, saying, "Tom, you don't understand, Joey gave his life to save us all.

Tom pulled away and said, "your lieing, I saw you kill him."

Ken braced for attack and said, "he was infected with the alien egg, he told me to kill him.

Tom was about to strike when he said, "Your lieing, your only scum."

Angry, Ken hit Tom in the stomach with the butt end of his weapon, knocking the breath out of him.

As Ken turned around and began to walk away a new female recruit walked in looking for the bathroom, when she saw Tom get up and stab Ken in the back. She picked up a gun and shot Tom in the hip. Hearing the gunshot the guards ran into the room and called for a medic for the two men. The guard captain looked at the female and asked, "what happened?"

The woman said, "I...I don't know, I walked in and saw the one man stab the other so I saw the gun and.. and..I.."

The guard calmed her down and said, "it's okay, I understand."

Ken awoke in the infirmary with a bandage wrapped around the wound. Dr. Cott had walked into the room and picked up the clip board and flipped over the first page. He looked up at Ken and said, "deep wound, didn't hit any vital organs you should be fine."

Ken looked up at Dr. Cott and said, "Where's Tom."

Dr. Cott began to open the door and said, "Sgt. Lueth will be in the prison for a while, by the way, you have a visiter."

After that, a beautiful Breunet, blue eyed woman walked into the room and sat at the foot of his bed. Ken had the same feeling from when he was walking down the hall. The doctor left the room and she asked, "Did you feel it too."

Ken shook his head and asked, "who are you."

She looked at him and in a European accent said, "I'm the one who shot that man before he killed you."

Ken looked at her and said, "your accent are you British."

She looked at him and said, "Irish actually, my name's Rosemary O'Brian."

Ken smiled and said, "Nice to meet ya, I'm Kenneth Lenson, so Ms. O'Brian, are you a new nurse.

She looked at him and said, "Kind of, well I'll see you later."

When she left Corporal Moody walked in and said, "This isn't helping your reputation, Lenson.

Ken looked up at Moody and said, "sir."

Moody said, "we got a distress becan from a downed ship, and I was wondering if, maybe, you were up for a mission.

Ken looked at Moody, smiled and said, "Sounds fun."

While Moody was leaving the room Ken turned to the door and said, "when"s the meeting."

Moody turned around and said, "1400 tomorrow," and shut the door.

Ken layed back on the bed and closed his eyes, smiled and asked himself, "who was that woman?"
