Soldiers of Fortune
"To Hell and Back"
Is this real? Am I really doing all of these things? Or is this all just a dream and I am still back on Earth waiting for another dreadful day to start. But this can't be a dream. It hurts too much to be a dream. This has to be real.
Leon stared up into the dark abyss. Not knowing if he was dead and this was hell. It could have been. Judging from the pain running through his body. Maybe this is hell as he felt something sharp jab into his side. Probably the Devil's pitchfork.
Two yellow orbs appeared in his vision. How strange.
The orbs of yellow began to make noise. The orbs are talking to each other. But they slowly vanished into the abyss as Leon passed out again.
Leon felt a sharp pain on his side again. The Devil was jabbing him with his pitchfork again. He felt as if something were sitting on his chest. He was gasping for air but when he took in some air, it felt like fire. Liquids were being forced down his throat but it smelled candy sweet, too bad it didn't taste like it. He tried to spit it out, but the Devil forced him to swallow it. It burned all the way down. He breathed out fire which made the two yellow orbs appear again. Again they were talking to each other. But this time the pain was slowly numbing. The orbs are kind of relaxing actually. Leon passed out again but his chest felt lighter and he could breath again.
Again he felt a sharp pain in his arm which woke him up. This time Leon knew he was alive as he could hear voices clearer. He could feel the ground beneath his fingers. He slowly opened his eyes and saw two yellow moons beaming down at him in a midnight sky. But as he stared at the twin suns he began to see a face form in the cloudy midnight sky.
"Hey you alright buddy?" asked the man in the sky.
Leon nodded his head but it made his head pound so he stopped.
"Whew," said the man in the sky. "We thought you were a goner."
There were more people in the sky? The Leon realized that he wasn't dreaming of a man in the sky but actuality he is indeed blue and the moons weren't moons at all but his yellow eyes. He was staring up at a native.
"Keep him still," said another voice which probably belonged to the other person that the native was talking to.
"Don't worry," said the native. "A Samson is on its way to get you out of here."
A Samson? The natives don't have that advanced technology. Leon looked around to see that the native was wearing human clothes. Much larger version human clothes. He tilted his head towards the direction of the second voice to see a female blue native, but she was wearing a red top with Stanford across her chest.
These weren't natives after all. Not unless they had a Stanford University here on Pandora. What were these things called again? Started with an A.
Leon only lay there and didn't take his eyes off of the blue man.
"This is Avatar 01 to Mother Goose," said the female.
Avatars, that's what they were called.
"You are clear for landing-." began the female before getting cut off by the loud sound of the blades of the Samson as it was descending below the tree tops.
By then Leon knew that he wasn't dreaming and that these Avatars were real. That he was going to be rescued. So he passed out again hoping to wake up to the white lights of the infirmary.
