"You understand what you must do

"You understand what you must do?" said Ziguraht to a rather large and hulking mass of armor and muscle. "Yes we do lord, we cannot fail." Said the tallest one with a metal mask with goggle-like eyes which have a thin black line running across them and all the way to the sides of his temple and up his forehead, thin breath filter extending all the way to the nose ridge, two canisters of some unknown gas probably for the breath filters jutting out the corners of the jaw bottom, he wore a cape that was fire proof and resistant to all grades of projectile assault weapons, and heavy armor on top of all that and would normally suffocate or trap a typical humanoid.

But he Dreadnought and his brethren were like no other, and they had been sent to track down their favorite pupil, Kanden.

Dreadnought walked hesitantly out of the lab hangar . . . the one he and his group had access to as they were not as prone to the distractions of things like reckless wandering some would describe as free will. He drew his ion charged sword, yes he was a swordsman and was a very competent one too, he was too quick to be caught by a bullet or energy shot, and he absolutely relished the feel of when his metal sank into flesh and shattered bone. He sometimes gave himself the liberty of wondering why all the prey he slaughtered thought they could handle a weapon.

He heard that there were others like him in this quarantined planet, all with unique abilities.

He ordered his infantry to move in and form around him. The sky was darkening and there was a storm being created from the battle popping miles overhead, steaming hot red rain was falling on his helmet and shoulder armor, but right now he could not tell what color anything was other than the red and green spectrum from his night vision, all else was his mad instincts and senses alone.


This is an opening scene for one of three other original major characters in this story, and with this done I think I can finally get started up again. I can hardly wait for the next chapter!
