Suddenly Aang the Avatar runs on stage.

Aang: Ranger! Can I please narrorate this one Ranger! Please!

Aang: No.

Ranger24: And there's your answer. Once you get through the game. You can narrorate a chapter!

He walks off a little grouchy.

Ranger24: On with the chapter!

Chapter 18 Erie silence

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

(A/N: This chapter details extreme gore and blood shed reader disgreshoin advised.)

The dropship flew through the rain with little difficulty it closed in on a small pond that looked like it was only a few feet deep. Hogia brought the ship in for a drop off.

Hogia: The last transmission from the captains dropship came from this area. When you find him I'll take you back to the command center.

Cloud jumped out the back and was instantly up to his boots in the murky water.

Cloud: Be sure to have a towl ready.

Hogia laughed and pulled away into the air. Cloud took a look around the pond. It was covered in fog as thick as twenty feet of concrete he could only see about ten feet in front of him. He wadded across the pond readying his weapons. He had traded his pistol in for a shotgun and as he made his way to shore he pumped rounds into it.

Suddenly he came upon the crash site of a pelican. It was slamed into the side of the bowl thepond was imbeded in. He searched around and found some very odd things for one no bodies. Two no clear ssign of what shot it down. Only thing that was for certain was the fact that it had dropped off supplies and had pulled out. Then his comm crackled to life.

Voice: Dropship echo 933 pillar of toon. Captain Uno has been caprtued by some (static) they are held up at a large structure to the north. (Static) Please pull out! I'm setting this message to repeat itself. Dropship echo 933 clear.

The channel closed down. Cloud sighed.

Cloud: Any idea of what to make of it Areith?

Then he remembered he had left the AI back at the control center.

Cloud: So how my armor feels a lot more lonely now.

He continues on through the swamp. Comeing upon only a few organization soliders. Out of the fog to his left looms the wreckage of an organization thirteen dropship. The oddest thing was it was upside down. Near by where a couple of crates but they were sealed shut. He made his way forward to a fallen log that made a bridge over a small ravine. Then he stoped looking at what he had found. A single assault rifle with round still in it. Thisdidn't make very much sense either. Why the heck would some one throw away a perfectly functional assault rifle. There was no body. Unperterbed he moved on and found an empty shade.

Suddely from below in the depression the shade was over looking came the sounds of aotumatic weapons fire. He looked down and saw afew ninja's and dusks come running out of a building on his right. He thought for a moment he saw a shadow flee from the structure as the enemy warriors paniced.

Cloud: Okay do I use the shade or go running in chargeing? Shade or go in shooting? Hey reffere!

Ranger24: What the hell is it now?

Cloud: I need your help on the subject of this shade.

Ranger24: I'm not supposed to help you!

Cloud: Please.

Ranger24: No.

Cloud: Please.

Ranger24: NO.

Cloud: I'll let you use Fenrir.

Ranger24: Oh deal! Okay I've played this level a couple of times so I normally like to keep moving so I suggest you don't use the shade you'll be a huge target for those dusks with grenades.

Cloud: Got it.

Ranger24: See you later.

Cloud: Hey could you be my tactical advisor for this level?

Ranger24: Don't you have a captian to find?

Cloud: Oh yeah I've got to find captain Uno. See you at the party after all's said and done.

Ranger24: Later.

Cloud dives into the brush hunts down and kills all of the enemy soliders. He then notices at leastfour more shade turrets surrounding the building right infront of him now. Five shades was the equivlent of enough fire power to pin down a battalion of toons. What did they need all that fire power for? Then there was the fact they were all facing inward where the enemy troops had come from.

He went inside cautiously in front of him was a strange wide platform large enough for a warthog. All around him were enemy ammo crates. He walked onto the platform and pressed a glowing green button. Suddenly the platform shook and it droppen like arock down with cloud still on it.

Cloud: Not long dark tunnels again!

Suddenly he remember everyone of his freinds many of them were proabley down here. They probably needed his help.

Cloud: Freinds don't quit!

The elevator came to a halt close by were at least a half dozen enemy soliders. Four dusks and two ninja's all of whom were facing a large door. He charged forward stabed the first sound ninja in the back with his knife then spun it and cut down a dusk. He ducked the enemies return fire and threw his knife into the lead dusks head. Then he pulled up his assualt rifle and poured lead into them. He charged through the door rifle the next thing he knew he was moving through dozens of desserted passages. He searched through the place slowly he came upon signs of the captains unit. A couple of emty shells, a candy bar, and then a body of a dead marine. He then entered a large chamber suddenly his sheilds flashed as he took a hit he looked forward and saw Chester shivering in fear holding up a small hand gun.

Chester: GET A WAY FROM ME FREAK! YOUR TURNING ME INTO ONE OF THOSE THINGS I'LL DIE BE FOR I DO!!

Cloud: Marine where's your squad?

Chester: GO AWAY LEAVE ME ALONE! I CAN STILL HEAR IT!! THOSE MONSTERS THEY TOOK EVERYONE! SARGE, TURNER, SHANG, RAYMOUNDO!!!

Cloud tired of the marines shouting and constant shooting snatched Chester's pistol.

Cloud: Get a hold of your self man and get upstairs there will be a dust off soon.

Chester just curled up in a frightened ball cloud reloaded then pistol and tossed it to Chester. Cloud left the poor kid to his terror. He suddenly enter a room filled with scorch marks dead bodies and blood every where.

Cloud: What the hell happened here?

Ranger24: Go find out.

Cloud: Hey on the final level can I use my bike instead of a warthog?

Ranger24: Sure it's awesome but your going to have hitch hikers.

Cloud: Fine by me.

He enters another hall and finds the walls, floor and ceiling cover in blood a sound ninja lies in the middle of it then he finds two cartes forming a makeshift baracade looking over it he finds a grusesome scene. Two sound ninja's and two dusks lying in a pool of their own gore.

Cloud: Okay that is creepy.

He continues on through and finds a strange room with a large metal wall bisecting it. He took a look around and found an observation deck for a large room. He turned a corner and found a horrible site. Shang dead at the top of a ramp covered in his blood.

Cloud: Okay I'm scared!

Chief: I agree Cloud I was a little spooked by that level.

Ranger24: A little?

Chief: Yes.

Ranger24: Well you go check on Aang I'll work wrap things up.

Chief: Got it.

Ranger24: Review please!
