Planet Mars

After nearly a decade of planning, NASA had finally accomplished their dream, putting a man on Mars. However, this dream was doomed to become everyones worst nightmare...

"..."

"Houston, this is Omega, over"

"...Omega this is Houston, go ahead, over"

"We've found something, over."

"What have you found?, over"

"It's what appears to be cave paintings, we're trying to establish video, expect feed in one hour, Out"

"Roger, out"

On Mars, Omega leader, Cpt. Biggs Artemis found a strange cave that seemed to be covered with strange symbols. He looked at them dumbfoundedly, unable to even begin to decipher them. Then through the corner of his eye he thought he saw a flash of light. He looked over at his partner, Lt. Wedge Archais. He was busy working with some camera equipment, trying to get the video link-up working.

"Did you see that?"

Wedge turned, "See what?"

"I'm gonna take a look, you get that uplink working."

"Be careful"

Biggs walked deeper into the cavern, he could see even more paintings etched on the walls. This time there were pictures instead of symbols, they showed a what looked like a dragon and a pack of dinosaurs and other animals fighting several different monsters. Above all of the monsters he saw a picture of a feminine figure holding a wand. On the side of the animals he saw seven different colored figures, each with a different symbol drawn above them. the pictures seemed to show a great battle and in the end all that were left were the seven symbols on the animal side and a large urn sealed with the wand that the sorceress weilded.

(Looks like neither side won...)

suddenly a bright flash flooded the cavern, Biggs turned and found the source. There was a large urn sealed with a staff sized wand.

(This can't possibly be real...)

Biggs found himself drawn inexplicably towards the urn. His body began to feel light, it began to feel as though he could no longer control his arms and legs. Soon it felt as though he were watching himself from some sort of third person perspective. He saw himself reach out and remove the wand, he saw himself open the lid...

And then a bright flash of light snapped him back into reality. Before him stood a beautiful young woman. She hand her hand outstretched.

"Give me my wand, my new slave"

Again Biggs felt himself unable to control his body as it handed her the wand.

"Good...

You shall have the honor of being my greatest warrior."

Wedge, who was still fumbling with the uplink equipment suddenly heard a loud scream echo through the cavern.

"Biggs? Are you ok?"

He walked slowly and cauctiously down the tunnel where he had seen Biggs walk only a few minutes ago. He saw the many pictures on the cavern walls on his way.

The up ahead he saw a large scrap of some type of cloth laying on the ground.

(What in the hell?...)

And then he saw something that made him stop dead in his tracks.

There were two figures, one was one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen, the other was hunched over, breathing heavily.

"...Biggs?"

The figure turned towards him.

"No, not anymore" it rasped.

The woman smiled wickidly and aimed her wand at Wedge.

In his panic, Wedge tried to radio his ship

"Luke! this is Wedge! Somethings happened to Biggs, youve got to get out of here!"

On the ship, Luke tried to radio Biggs and Wedge, but all he heard was static.

Hours later, mission control in Houston recieved it's last transmission from Mars.

"Houston we have a prob-ARRRGH!!!!"
