War Zone

Where... Go?

Look behind yourself, you ninny!

(Turns around 180degrees)

Waaah?! (A sea of corpses of big Xeno and small)

No, No, No, NOOOOO!!!

Must... Save... (Light begins fill the surroundings, the dead bodies regenerate and the light begins to fill them) (suddenly several small flashes of light destroy the almost resurrected corpses)

Nyoooooooo!!!!!

Oh... So that's... Hey nimrod stop it... Ur wasting your energy...

NO!

Liste...

NO!

Listen u little shit, if you wanna keep anymore from dying you have to get rid of the fucking cause!!!!!

Cause? (Flow of light halts)

Yes, someone or thing is killing ur precious ones.

... (Listening)

The direction those light blasts came from is where the cause is... Get rid of the cause and you can safely bring them back... And here comes more light blasts.... Should make it easier to find... (Small flashes of light concentrates toward it, the light is absorbed)

...(thinking)

If you don't take acti..... Oh never mind it seems whatever is out there is coming closer... Weird?

(Silence) (several figures approach and then halted one klick out...)

I guess they're being cautious...

Cause!!!

Yep it's the cause...*probably*

Killll!!!!!!! (Dashes forward)

(The figures shuffle about and hold position)

******

Change to depleted explosive rounds. Once that thing gets over that hill fire at will.

(Thumping like drumming slowly getting louder)

What the...

Focus...

(Figure disappears behind hill, hill explodes outwards, some debris flies dangerously close to the group)

Oh fu...(ducks behind cover)

(Figure continues to approach without losing speed)

Fire!!!!

(Lots of gun fire) (Lots of smoke) (figure passes through and speed increases) (figure jumps and collides into blue energy field) (glass breaking sound)

Fuck....(dies first after trying to block) (the body is pulled into the black figure) (the figure stops)

Retreat!!

*******

Why'd you stop?!

Cause gone?

No it's not gone!!! There are more causes present... And they're getting away!!!!

Then gone...

Not for good you idiot!!!

Gone... Done... Life!

Sigh, at least I don't have to listen to the drivel of that coward... Scared of the dead and the dying... Completely useless...

Life, life, life.....

Let's go Rez the locals... And find there leader... Also don't forget to take that form unless you want to be hated again?

Life, li... Ok, no like bing hatted. (Figure structure warps and changes into an old looking Xenophage)

*******

15 hours later

(Troopers entering locker room)

(Silently changing into formal dress)

( important looking figure enters ) Attention! (Troops come to attention) Your loss of Sargent David has been noted. Head to the debriefing room when your done here. A new energy wall Personel will be deployed to your unit. That is all. Dismissed. (Leaves)

(Fist punches locker) fucking monster...

Save it for the enemy Anderson...

I know... (Fist begins to loosen) But what the hell was that thing!?(Anderson)

We'll find out soon... In the debriefing room...

Probably... Unless it's classified... Like this whole operation...

Shut it Lenny!

... (Lenny)

Let go...

(Troopers leave the locker room)

*******

(Debriefing room)

Your report mentions the target was raising its dead but after you wiped them out again this new enemy took direct fire from your blasters and absorbed it. Then it charged towards your position while you shot at it again? Then you switched to depleted explosive rounds and prepared to fire once it got over the hill, but instead it runs into the hill causing it to explode towards your position. At that point you faltered in shock and your attack failed. The target then proceeded to attack you and Sargent Davis activates his energy wall in an attempt to stop it. He died after his energy wall gave out and the target consumed him? Then the target stopped and ignored everyone else as the rest of you retreated... Correct?

Sir. Yes, Sir. It has already been recorded via...

I know! I saw the satellite feed. It's just... Is this a new breed? Will there be more? And how the fuck do we kill it?!

Permission to speak sir?!

Granted Captain Martin.

This new enemy seems to be able to think and reason.

And your point Cpt. Martin?

This thing's intent is different from the others. It had no interesting us until we disturbed it. (Martin)

So we leave it alone and let it raise our enemies, so they can attack us?

No, sir! Permission to continue sir?!

Continue... Cpt. Martin

Sir. Yes, Sir! The target is not of this world... Sir... It came from space...

...

It's trajectory... (Holo screen projects targets landing point and proceeds to making trajectory... It starts to zoom out.. Passed the planet view, then solar view, then a trail leads itself to another solar system and appears to be from the recently recolonized world of Atari...)

I see... Cpt. Martin? I'll look into this when I have time. Head over to the docking center to receive your new teammate.

Sir. Yes, Sir! (All troops salute)

You are all dismissed!

I'm back for a bit. Might come back and release next part if World Without Sound... At least after I charge my phone... Meaning sometime tomorrow.?.. Hopefully I can get back into the groove to write more frequently again! ?
