I swear nothing else has to do with it, I'm just a terrible writer.
I woke to a throbbing pain in my head, my hud was still on and I saw several red dots behind me. I grabbed my DMR, it wasn't there. I reached for my knife, it wasn't there either. I got to my feet as fast as I could and turned towards whatever was there.
It was three marines, they were looking at me with there weapons up, my weapons being in a pile behind them. Instinct took over and I punched the closest one. He went flying and I turned to the next one, he brought his rifle up and I kicked it out of his hands. I grabbed his helmet and brought it to my knee, shattering the visor and cracking his skull. The other started shooting at me and my shield flared, I activated my thrusters and slammed into him knocking him to the ground. He didn't move. I looked at the pile and made sure everything was there. I grabbed the grenades and pistol and put it on my waist. I grabbed the DMR and battle rifle and put it on my back, I picked up the AR and checked the ammo. Full, good I'll need it.
I calmed for a minute and took in my surroundings. It looked I was in the same place. I used my helmets zoom and looked for any sign of life. I saw some kind of vehicle in the distance, it looked like some kind of tank.
I sprinted for the tank and activated my thrusters. Apparently it saw me and fired. The round hit me square in the chest and knocked me onto my back, my shields gone and a dent in my chestplate.
"stay where you are or you will be shot again." The loud voice coming from my helmets comm system. Hundreds of red dots appeared around me as I saw hundreds of cloaked figures move to surround me. The blonde girl appeared in front of me, her rifles barrel a few inches from my face plate.
I stayed still, so did everyone else. Apparently they didn't expect me to stay down. My hud's sensors picked something up.
I heard the noise of a pelican approaching, she did too. Everyone turned to look at the sky as the noise got louder. The tank blew up in the distance and a pelican came through the fire. It's gun started firing on the cloaked army that surrounded me.
I took hold of the opportunity and jumped up to punch the girl, she dodged and fired, my sudden movement had freaked her out and she dropped her rifle. The round cracked my faceplate and my hud shut down, the cracks blocked my vision and I couldn't see what was going on. A fist connected with my stomach, It barely hurt. I responded with a blind swing in front of me hitting nothing but air. Another hit connected with the back of my knee, causing my leg to give out and fall to the ground. I grabbed my helmet and pulled it off allowing me to see clearly again. A fist came for my face and I caught it. I twisted it and looked at the person who's fist it was. The blond chick was wincing in pain and trying to pull her fist away. I got up and let go, grabbing her neck and slamming her to the ground. I raised my fist up to punch her as a jolt of pain coursed through my body, piercing agony causing me to lose control of my limbs and fall to the ground next to her.
"I told you 'cough', don't mess with a ghost." She got up and picked up her rifle, taking aim at the pelican and firing. I saw something fly by and fire it's guns at the pelican, fire catching in the engines and the pelican nose diving for the ground.
It crashed somewhere to my right and I heard explosions as the engines blew up. The blonde smirked and looked down at me.
"you really are that stupid to think you can take on a Terran world." She attempted to roll me over but couldn't lift my armor. "get some marines over here to help me." A marine came over and looked at her. I recognized it as the one I punched because there was a fist sized dent in the middle of his chest.
"what?" he said to the blonde.
"help me roll this guy over, I'm keeping his muscles locked so he can't do anything." The marine grabbed my side and lifted. All he succeeded in was getting my side a few inches off the ground.
"why don't you let go of my muscles so I can do it." I said.
"very funny, nice try but I'm not letting you go until your behind a thick wall."
"well then, I guess we're both stuck here until you decide to let go." The marine had walked away by now. We waited in silence for a while.
She started to look impatient "how old are you?"
"what kind of question is that, your keeping me captive and you ask me how old I am."
"so you don't know"
"I… no, I actually don't."
"you look like your fifteen."
"fifteen? Are you sure, I feel a lot older than that."
"I'm sure, you look fifteen."
I didn't respond. She examined the dent in my chestplate. She grabbed my helmet from the ground and examined it.
"are you actually curious about it or gathering Intel for your leader."
"both actually, how did you survive a direct hit from a siege tank shell." I shrugged.
"my armor is experimental, I have no idea how it works." I said. My eyes wandered to hers, the shades of green in them mesmerized me, making me want to lean close to her and kiss her. I realized what was happening and ripped my eyes away from her face. 'God dammit black, keep yourself together, you're a spartan'.
I heard somebody cry out from the crash site of the pelican. It sounded like it came from inside it.
"let me go NOW."
"why should I?"
"because if you don't I will kill you when you eventually let me go. I can't run anywhere, I don't know this place. Just let me go."
I felt my limbs go slack. I tested my limbs to make sure they could move then got up and started sprinting to the crash site.
I jumped up to where the cockpit was and grabbed the frame of the glass, ripping the entire thing off, glass, steel, and all. I looked in and saw Lida in the pilot seat, her visor broken and a piece of shrapnel embedded in her side pinning her to the seat. I dropped down into the cockpit and grabbed the piece of shrapnel, I yanked it free and she cried out in pain. I removed her helmet to make sure she had no more severe wounds. She had a few cuts on her face but otherwise fine.
"get the biofoam." She muttered.
My body froze, everything faded away and a new area appeared. I was six years old, running through a wheat field as a tiger chased me. I turned around and attempted to punch it. I missed and it bit my side. Blood spewed everywhere as I attempted to fend off the tiger with my bare hands. It swung it's claws and cut up my arms. I eventually had found a stick and was able to hold it off with that until it backed away and ran off.
The crashed pelican came back and I jolted awake. I was sitting down leaning against the controls. The blonde was in front of me trying to stanch the blood flow from the hole in Lida's side. The wound was closing but slowly. She was concentrating really hard on something. I waited until the wound finally closed before speaking.
"what was that?"
"your awake. I just saved your friends life, you should be happy I'm in a good mood otherwise I would of shot her."
"I was talking about the dream."
"what dream," she concentrated on me for a moment then smirked "you just had a flashback, this wound reminded you of your own."
"how do you know that."
"because I can read your mind idiot, and you already know I can do more than that." I got up and moved to the door to the back of the pelican. "where are you going?"
"I thought you could read minds." I continued to open the door with no response from her, except for a prodding feeling in my head. I looked around to see if there was anything salvageable from the wreck. There was a railgun with a single shot in one of the seats and a chaingun that broke off from its stand on the floor. I grabbed the chaingun and walked back into the cockpit.
"What's that?" she asked.
"you have a lot of questions for someone who reads minds." I replied.
I threw the chaingun out of the cockpit and heard a 'thud' as it hit the ground. I picked up Lida and used my freehand to pull myself out and onto the ground. She followed me out and sighed.
"what's that?" I put Lida down and pointed at something in the sky.
Cliffhanger. Too bad I'm giving you spoilers. It's the zerg coming to take over the planet.
