The lifeboat was nearly burning up from the friction. Chief and the 212 division Marines held on for dear life. The pilot, Lieutenant Chris Crowly battled with his controls. "Chief, do you think we're going to make it?" asked the youngest of the group, Private Jason Noonan. "We'll make it" the Chief stated soundly. The Private looked somewhat unsure. We're hitting the stratosphere in 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… Brace for the shockwave!" shouted Lieutenant Crowly. The wave was felt by all on board. It was like hitting a bump in the road at 12,000 mph. The harnesses dug into all the Marine's shoulders. The Chief grabbed on to the supports on the ceiling. "We're going to land soon." stated Lieutenant Crowly. "Let's make this a clean one Lieutenant" said the Chief.
As the majority of the scientists exited the Capsule Corporation in a rush, Dr. Briefs ran to his living quarters. "Bulma, Honey, Trunks, Vegeta, we have to get out of here!" Bulma popped out of the kitchen and asked "What's up Dad?" "We have to get out of here, an object is going to strike the Capsule Cooperation!" yelled Dr. Briefs. "Whoa, Dad calm down. I'm sure that Vegeta can handle it" "No, he is out on the ship Gravity Training, and even if he came the object is coming in too fast and too hot for anyone to handle" exclaimed Dr. Briefs. "Fine I'm coming, where's Trunks?" asked Bulma. "I thought he was with you?" "Oh no Trunks!" exclaimed Bulma running from the room. "He's out with Goten in the woods training!" They, along with Mrs. Briefs ran out of the building.
"Cortana, where is the ship landing?" asked the Chief. "By my calculations it will land in the general vicinity of that city." "That's not good" stated Private Noonan. "It's too late to help now" stated the Chief.
All of West City watched in horror as a gigantic flaming object descended from the sky. The sonic boom caused hundreds of windows in the city to shatter. The ship fell from the sky scraping a large gash in the side of the gigantic Capsule Corporation building. The ship then continued on crash landing into the forest tearing a large elongated crater into the ground.
The lifeboat was descending rapidly onto the surface of the planet. "We're going to hit! Hang on!" shouted lieutenant Crowly. They hit the ground with tremendous force. Luckily the Chief's iron grip kept him firmly in place safe from the impact, and the harnesses protected the relatively weak Marines.
Trunks and Goten happened to be a short distance away when they saw a fiery object descending from the sky. "Trunks what is that?" asked Goten "I have no idea Goten. Let's go check it out" stated Trunks. "Yea let's go!" yelled Goten excitedly. They dashed off to the impact zone to see what was there.
"Chief, Chief, are you still with us?" asked Cortana. Still groggy from the impact, the Chief opened his eyes. Looking around he saw that, although the majority of the crew was alright, some were knocked unconscious. "Get those men out of their seats, and lay them down outside so they can recover." "Yes sir" said the still shook up Private. After the wounded had been laid out the lifeboat was scavenged for weapons and ammunition. The Private selected the high caliber sniper rifle. Chief selected an Assault Rifle, and a Magnum for a side arm. They had set up a effective force surrounding the lifeboat.
"Hey Goten, I think there are people there already" said Trunks. "I think they came out of the ship, let's get closer"
The Chief's movement sensor was giving him alerts of two unknown objects heading closer to them. "Eyes on your 9 we may have bogeys approaching. The majority of the force turned to the right and aimed in the forest. Suddenly two shapes were approaching in the dark of the forest. One stepped into a clearing. The panicky Private holding the sniper rifle, slipped his finger, firing one bullet. The bullet traveled straight hitting the shadow square in the head. It collapsed to the ground while the rest opened fire on the second object. It too dropped to the ground after collective fire from multiple high caliber guns.
The Chief slowly made his way to the objects taking a closer look. "Cortana, what do you make of this?" "I honestly don't know!" stated Cortana in shock. "This shouldn't be possible!"
