Chapter Two
Preparation
“Okay Frost how is preparation going, are we making progress?†Mitchell asked.
“Yes Sir right now we are loading up our armory, what weapons do you suggest we bring aboard with us.†Frost asked.
“I really don’t have any specific I do request you bring our M41A Pulse Rifles and keep magazines handy.†Mitchell responded.
“Yes Sir we have our drop ship prep instructions finished, here take a look.â€Â
Mitchell followed Frost down to the docking bay to their ships. He noticed everything really was complete and done correctly, “well done marines.†he said.
Frost announced to Ethers, “Set up the pulse rifles for use we are going to be using them a lot over this expedition.â€Â
Yes Sir is there any other specifics to load up onto the ships Sir?â€Â
No not yet Corporal, however I would suggest loading up some grenades, M16 Rifles and some Magnum handguns.“
Ethers Saluted, â€ÂYes Sir.“
Mitchell asked, I heard that you have completed our drop ship preparation instructions completed.
“Yes Lieutenant Mitchell, they are completed.†Frost answered.
“Okay may I see it.†Mitchell asked.
“Oh I’m sorry right away Sir, sorry to keep you waiting.“ Frost responded.
“Its not a problem Sergeant,†Mitchell responded.
Mitchell examined the document and grinned, “perfect Frost I’m impressed Well Done.â€Â
“Thank you Sir we will return turn to our work stations, Alright men continue to your work stations and complete our preparations.†Sergeant Frost announced.
Frost saluted to Mitchell then turned and headed toward the two advanced military starships. The ships stood abnormally large fitting hundreds of soldiers. DarkSeige 1 and DarkSeige 2 were large carriers that Frost entered DarkSeige 1 to see mostly everything set and ready for takeoff. “Okay Marines we have 48 hours until departure for this mission once you have completed preparation get some rest and be prepared.†Frost announced.
“Yes be sure to be prepared because we don’t know if this is mission will be dangerous. “Hey, hey, hey come here we got something,†Dr. Khazmar shouted from across the room.
“What is it,†Mitchell asked sprinting to Khazmar. We got a huge signal above the atmosphere.â€Â
“Yeah but what the hell is it.†Mitchell demanded.
“We have no idea but lets take a look at it.†Khazmar announced.
“He turned on his computer. It flickered and then sprung to life.â€Â
“What the hell!†They both shouted simultaneously.
Where is it? I don’t see anything damn it! Mitchell shouted.
Khazmar kept typing commands into his computer but the negitive replies just kept on coming. He finally came up with a readout and ran to Mitchell and shouted.
“This computer readout says that whatever it is, it has a mass roughly a quarter of our moon.â€Â
“Holy Shit! but what the hell is it?†Mitchell demanded.
“I told you Lieutenant I don’t know.†Khazmar responded.
Well keep trying I’m sure we can come up with something Mitchell ordered.
“What if its aliens Sir! Private Gomez exclaimed.
Don’t be ridiculous Gomez, Aliens aren’t real now get back to work.†Mitchell ordered.
He turned and walked away in frustration and headed toward his office. He sat at his desk and opened up his Mission files.
United States Marine Core
Niobrara Wyoming
Current Mission: Unidentified Phenomenon on LV-862
Mission Details: N/A
Mitchell began to type.
Phenomenon in space: Mass size a quarter of the moon.
He dropped his head to the surface of his desk in frustration. Corporal Ethers was standing in Mitchell’s doorway. “What is it Sir?â€Â
“Its just not easy any more, I know of nothing that this could be and quite frankly I don’t know if anyone in this base is even ready to do this mission.†Mitchell explained.
“Sir we are always ready for anything that awaits us Sir.†Ethers replied.
“Okay Corporal return to your work stations and help the others finish so they can be ready for this.â€Â
“Very well Sir I’ll be on my way.†Ethers saluted and returned.
“Oh yes Ethers we are leaving tomorrow 06:00, make sure yourself and everyone else are prepared. Have Frost do this as well.†Mitchell added.
“Very well,†Ethers left.
Frost came up to Ethers and said preparation is complete.†Frost announced.
“Very well go tell the Lieutenant.†Ethers replied.
“I will don’t worry about it.†Frost assured.
Frost exited the prep room and entered Mitchell’s office. He knocked. Yes come in, Mitchell answered.
“Sir our preparation is complete Lieutenant.†Frost exclaimed.
“Great okay tell everyone to get rest and I will brief them at 05:00 tomorrow.†Mitchell ordered.
“Very well Lieutenant.†Frost saluted to Mitchell and returned back to the Prep room.
“Ok marines may I have your attention.†Frost announced.
All the marines paused there work and glared up to Frost and DeRosa.
DeRosa signaled to Frost to begin, “Okay marines I want to congratulate you on your fantastic worth ethic and your completion on our preparation. We should all be up and ready at 05:00 I suggest you prepare yourselves and get plenty of rest. Expect this to be dangerous because it could be and I don’t want to go under the impression it won’t be. The soldiers spread in different directions to their quarters to get a good night sleep.
Drifting through the reaches of space was the hulking mass of ship where these Hunters would live. It was believed that these Hunters are nomadic who would be separated into clans or groups. This particular clan was called Hunter’s Moon. Preparation was being done the warriors packing their weapons, preparing to seek the skulls of their prey. Sertolic a well respected warrior paced his way to his Elder Splaxtor. Sertolic bowed his head and stood next to Splaxtor and the two glared into the dark skies of space. He asked his Elder, “Nain-de?â€Â
“Nain-de Thwei of Oomans and Kainde Amedha.†Splaxtor responded.
Sertolic roared and returned to his quarters to inform the others. He entered the quarters and saw his brethren preparing he was surprised but then began to equip his weapons along with the others. Meanwhile the ship began to hover over the atmosphere of LV-862. But the ship came to a sharp halt and just remained there for reasons unknown.
Back to the military base the marines were at rest ready to sleep and await the departure of their ships and to discover what this so called phenomenon was. One of the quarters was shared by Corporal Ethers, Pvt. Gomez, Lieutenant DeRosa, Sgt. Frost and Pvt. Destebro. They were preparing to go to sleep. “Hey Gomez!†Destebro called out.
“Yeah buddy what’s going on?†Gomez replied.
“Are you scared man?†Destebro asked.
“No why? What about you?†Gomez asked.
No just kind of worried. What if there are aliens? Destebro explained.
“There aren’t any aliens buddy. Okay I can guarantee that, but come on we got to get to sleep we’re the only ones awake.†Gomez assured Destebro.
“Alright lets go.†Destebro added.
The two then began to sleep on their beds and shut their eyes in a matter of minutes. All the marines then were sleeping and awaited their departure for their mission to find out what this phenomenon was.
But would they survive the mission was the question…
The Predators continued to prepare themselves it would be hours until the Hunt was to begin. Splaxtor entered the Warriors corridor and saw his clan preparing for their hunt. He grinned he saw blades extending and the roars of them as well. Sertolic approached Splaxtor, “Will you be joining us?†he asked.
“Possibly.†Splaxtor replied. But keep preparing it will not be long until the oomans arrive.†Splaxtor added.
Then more of the monstrous warriors approached their elder in curiosity. One of them stood up above all he was young but was blind. The name Zenwi-Sai he was born blind but constructed a mask strengthening his senses. Splaxtor summoned him, Zenwi-Sai then approached him. “Are you ready for the Nain-de Thwei?â€Â
Zenwi-Sai roared in excitement for a response. He and Splaxtor turned to the others Xerax, Guan Thwei, Asudak, Diruxis and Sertolic all roared pulling out more weapons they began to put on their armor. They were set to head for their stasis pods and the ship was set to land on the surface of the planet. These Warriors were fully prepared to move on to claim the skulls of honorable prey…
