ok here is the sequel to my 1st story
<b>PART 1</b>
location = Craft 12
Mission = To return to space station Galio.
Time = 12:13 A.M
The craft slowly entered the tracking beam of the Galio space station, the team members onboard craft 12 all heard the time remaining to dock with the Galio and was silent. One of the marines broke the silence.
"Sir you do know that the Admiral will not be a happy bunny about us not clearing or destorying the space craft ?" Ventura said to his team leader. Before James Sharpe their team leader replied he was interuppted by a man who was not a marine.
" Don't tell them about what we found, about the spirits and all." He begged.
" Evans you know i have to tell them everything, this is just incredible what we found." Sharpe replied.
Evans gloomily looked away out of the window, the Galio was very close, he knew he must quickly make James change his mind." For Jenny, please." He said quielty looking into James eye. James gave his friend a long hard look, then nodded.
" You might want to hide your seed." He gestured to the Seed, Evans was carrying, a gift from Ekulo a evolution of the Lerk, Evans opened his rucksack and placed the seed inside, the seed which will bring his dead wifes spirit back.
The craft slowly entered the Galio docking bay, then came to a hault, the rear of the craft opened and they all left the craft one by one.
A young officer in black was waiting outside, as James sharpe came out he saluted and delivered a message.
" Sir, the admiral wants to see you, Steven Evans ? " He asked as steven left the ship, Steven looking up gave a nod.
" Please follow me sir i'm to escort you to a shuttle heading for Earth, Galio is now off limit to civilians."
" Why ? " Buckle asked, looking puzzled.
" Look for yourself. " The officer replied as he gestured towards the over side of the hanger, there, where he was pointing, were 4 large black shuttles, each of them probably cost a fortune, standing by them were around 20 men dressed in night black armour, carrying more advance looking weapons than the TSA had.
" Why the hell, are the lunar black 5 here ? like they give a damn about Kharaa attacks, they are too busy being Goverment boot lickers for that prat Tomas Harper." Ventura said angrily.
" Who's he and what are lunar black 5 ? " Asked Evans.
" Lunar black 5 are a goverment army with high tech stuff, though really they are just a bunch of thugs, Tomas Harper is the guy incharge of them and supposedly a retired scientest and a bad history of killing people, robbing, black mailing, bribing you name it he's done it." Smethurst answered for him.
" Sir will you please go visit the Admiral and Evans please follow me." The young black offcier askeded in a more inpatience voice, Sharpe nodding walked off patting Evans in the back and whispering to him.
" I won't tell about what we found. " Evans smiling, gave his farewells to the marines and followed the young black officer.
Location = Galio space station
Mission = No missions, under controll of Lunar black 5
Time= 2:31 A.M
He knew he wouldn't get any information out of him, Sharpe was a good Major, though he wasn't always loyal to the TSA. The Admiral wiping his forehead asked one more time.
" Why didn't you destroy space vessel 343 ?"
" There wasn't enough fuel left in the engines to create a large enough explosion. "Sharpe explained again.
" Fine Sharpe go away. " The admriall gestured towards the door.
" Sir why are the Lunar black 5 here ?" Sharpe asked. The admiral looking up at Sharpe from his desk breathed in and sighed.
" As they are suppose to be destorying space vessel 343, but if taking 4 XD series combat bots, 10 special military scientest and a few spieces of these damn bugs is needed to destory a freaking space vessel then we might as put pancakes on a mongoose, these guys aren't going to destory the space vessel Sharpe, it's bloody obvious, they are just saying that to all of our men, they are up to something, something big i reckon, we have to find out what though." Sharpe nodding saluted and walked out, on his way to his sleeping quarters he saw a pay phone, thinking about what the Admiral said, Sharpe picked up the phone and dialed Evans home number hoping he was in, he must tell him that people will be going on space vessel 343.

I wonder where it will go...
any luck on getting 129th back?
this story is awesome, I wonder whats going to happen and when the next part comes out!
this is some amazing work <!--emo&::lerk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/lerk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='lerk.gif'><!--endemo-->
Location = Space shuttle 4.
Mission = Transport civilians from the Galio to Earth.
Time = 3:19 A.M
The journey to Earth was very dull. There were no windows in the shuttle just a few metal benches surronded by cheap metal walls, the women around him were obviously worried about their husbands up on the Galio. He checked his rucksack for his seed, checking for no dents he placed it back in the rucksack and started to raise as the shuttle gracefully entered the Earths atmosphere, the shuttle started to dock at Gatwick shuttle port, the doors hissed open filling the shuttle with sun light, rubbing his eyes, Evans made his way out of the ship and out into the open feeling the cool wind blowing through his hair, he then felt lost and alone again, slowly he headed out of the busy airport and waited for a taxi to pull up.
Location = Stevens home
Mission = None at the moment.
Time= 1:45 P.M
He paid the taxi driver his 23 pounds and entered his home, the house was silent, all except the beeping of his computer and his answer phone, starting up his computer to check his e-mails, he pressed the play button and listened to the message.
" Steven, it's James here, those lunar guys are going to space vessel 343, me, Ventura, Smethurst and Buckle are going up there to stop them though, but we are out numbered, we are gonna try out recurit some people to come with us, anyway i'll phone you up tomorrow and tell you some more about it. " He stood their motionless taking everything in slowly, then checking his watch. checking how many hours there was left for tomorrow to arrive, grunting out the hours remaining, then cursing under his breath at what was happening, he decided to head down to the Green house and plant his seed. The green house wasn't a very big palce only 7 by 10 meters and 5 meters high, unlike the labs green house which wasn't a very mature garden, his was much more mature, having more complexed plants than the labs, though not containing living Kharaa spieces, he filled up a pot with the light brown, green coloured soil and gently placing the seed inside and covered it up, then looked around at his prideful garden, then felt sadden even more, the Lerks garden on the space vessel was incredible, so mature that it could grow the plant to bring his wifes spirit back, then wondering how long it could take for his garden to mature, he went back into his house and deleting his usual junk mail, then decided to fix himself some food to help the feeling inside him.
Location = Galio space station
Mission = No missions, under control of Lunar black 5
Time= 9:00 P.M
Sharpe, Ventura, Smethurst and Buckle all entered the bar still discussing about their operation but stopped as a gang of lunar black 5's were hanging around a table in the corner, they decided to sit far away from them, Sharpe headed off to the bars man to buy a few drinks. Though to his dissapointment they were very watered down.
" Yo Dasha, what's up with the water alcohol ?" Sharpe asked.
" Order of Tomas Harper 'fraid Sharpe, seems he doesn't want ya all to git drunk." Explained the bars man.
Sharpe taking some coins out of his trousers, started to eavesdrop on the gang of Lunar black 5's.
A chubby one with his helmet still on spoke to his friends.
" He's a freaking looney dork, like he really want's to destory that hunk of junk, he's just gonna do experiments on the bugs like last time."
" Shame last time that the subjects, shall we say, died strangely." Said a young looking guy, all of them laughing all of a sudden took note of Sharpe eavesdropping and stopped, the chubby one wearing the helmet called out to Shapre.
" OUI ! what are you lookin at ? get lost you jerk !"
" Calling me a jerk ? i'm not the fat guy who finds it hard to take his helmet off, why don't you just shout it out what you lot are up too ?" Snapped back Sharpe, Vetura hearing his Major raising his vocie warned the others and started heading slowly towards him. The tubby Lunar black 5, going red on his cheeks, gripped his beer bottle and threw it at sharpe, Sharpe immediatley ducked, hearing the bottle hit a TSA member in the back of his chest plate and him rasing up bellowing at the lunar black 5 members, by now Ventura, Smethurst and Buckle were next to Sharpe ready to help their leader, the lunar black 5 members rose from the chairs and started heading towards them, Ventura threw the first punch, knocking a Lunar black 5 member down, he quickly ducked as one threw a punch at him but was truck on the back by a elbow, sending him down, but quickly kicked the knee bone of one the Lunar black 5 members, making a cracking noise and sending the man down in pain. Sharpe was wrestling the large chubby Lunar black 5 member, but took a blow to kneck, knocking him down and the chubby Lunar black 5 member landing on him, Buckle saw Sharpe getting piled on by 2 Lunar black 5 members, he picked up a chair and rammed it into a Lunar black 5's cheats but having no effect on his armour as it merely snapped intp pieces, he started moving towards Sharpe who was still being piled on by the 2 men and receiving punches from them, he then reaisled the lamp shade by him, quickly blocking his attackers punches and giving him a powerful kick into the groin and reaching for the lamp where he made his final move by hitting the mans face with the bulb, then headed towards Sharpe and reapteadly batted the 2 men on him where he was joined by Smethurst dragging one of but was kicked in the chest and winded while Ventura dragged one of them of Sharpe where he gave them a powerful elbow smash on the side of the head, Then Sharpe managed to get his feet under the Chubby Lunar black 5 memebers chest and muled kicked him off into a table. As they all raised checked each other for serious injury and turned round to their supporting auidance they all froze as the Admiral was standing in the door way.
" SHARPE YOU DUMB FOOL, COME WITH ME RIGHT NOW!!!"He bellowed.
" THE REST OF YOU GO TO YOUR QUARTERS BEFORE I PERSONALLY KICK YOUR BUTTS TO YOUR DOORS!" he grabbed Sharpe by his hair and dragged him to his office where a man roughly the age of 50 but with metal on his cheeks was waiting.
" So, you been hurting my boys have you ?" Asked Tomas Harper
Part 3 might come out tomorrow depends what's happening in my life, for now enjoy and ignore spelling mistakes as i have had some difficulty to see lately.
^_^
now we get to the intersting part

man, thats some deep conflict right there
Location = Galio space station
Mission = No missions, under controll of Lunar black 5
Time= 9:56 P.M
" Please come in." Tomas Harper invited Sharpe in as he entered the Admirals office.
" Admiral would you please leave us for abit ?" Ordered Harper, the admiral nodded and gave Sharpe a glance and walked off.
" Please sit down." Harper gestured towards a chair opposite the desk as he poured to drinks of water. He sat down and picked up a folder with Sharpes name in the corner, he then pretended to study it, then placed it gently on the table and cleared his throat.
" That was a impressive bit of fighting back there i must say Sharpe." Harper commented. Sharpe taken by suprise at this comment replied back.
" Er-thank you Sir, it was nothing really." Then wondering was that the right thing to say.
" Indeed, have you ever thought of joining the Lunar black 5 ?" Asked Harper.
" No sir." Replied Sharpe in a snappy voice, Harper gave him a frown then said.
" We really could do with your help, seeing how skilled you are with the Kharra creatures." Harper carryed on.
" Especially with our special operation."
" What would that be ?" Sharpe asked knowing he wouldn't get a answer. Harper smilied and tapped his nose and reached for his glass, their on his arm was a symbol that made Sharpe feel uneasy in his stomach, it was a circle about 2 inches in diameter but had tentacles covering the inside of it and the skull of some sort of horned creature, but it acted as though it was trying to peel of Harpers skin, Harper reaslising what Sharpe was staring at quickly covered up the symbol and tryed to engage into a conversation.
" What we are going to do is to study the creatures for a bit then destory the ship." Harper informed then winced knowing he didn't really mean to say it like that, but carryed on smiling.
" Well if you ever want to come along just tell me okay ?" Harper asked, Sharpe nodded and left the room but decided to ask one last question.
" Why do you want to study the Kharaa sir ? we have labs on Earth studying them."
Harper was taken back by this question knowing he didn't a answer ready but quickly improvised.
" We want to study them in their natural habitat and take a few home with us." Sharpe knew this wasn't the right answerand left the room, on the way to his room he saw a pay phone, he inserted a few coins and dialed Evans house number hoping he could pick up this time.
Location = Stevens house.
Mission = N/A
Time = 10:05
It was that dark corner of the park, her lovely brown hair blowing into her face, him opening the box, the gold ring inside, her smiling and saying yes, then the chuckle from the bush, the dark figure emerging from the bush, the 2 pieces of metal covering the cheeks of the figure's of it's face, the demanded for the ring, the answer no, the gun shot into her, the figure fainting away, chuckling, the image of her lying down, the 3 words before she left him, "i love you."
Evans woke up, sweat covering his body and damping his pillow, panting heavily he looked round the room hoping for her, not seeing her he turned and looked at the soul plant, not much change, only a stem poking out, before his head reached he damp pillow he jumped and yelped, only to realise it was the phone, wondering who was phoning at this hour he picked up the phone and put it to his ear.
" Hello ?"
" Steven it's James, those Lunar black 5 guys are going to carry out experiments of space vessel 343, you gotta get up here quicky i know a guy who lives near you, he lives at 14 Highwoods drive in Wycombe he'll give you a lift up here, go to him tomorrow morning me and the guys up here will organise a attack force to stop them."
The lie went dead after James placed down his phone, Steven, sitting in bed while slowly taking in what James said, then realising what he said he quickly started panicking again while telling himself to keep calm, while thinking who was on the ship, then realising what was on it, the lerks, Ekulo, the soul plant, his wife's ghost...
He didn't sleep very well that night if not at all, he slowly poured himself breakfast and ate it slowly keeping an eye on the time, he knew he would be away along, he phoned up work saying he will be away for sometime, but didn't metioned he might not return, he watered the plant and left his house and drove off to address he was given.
The house was in a quiet neighbourhood, he stopped outside the house and walked up the path leading to it, he rang twice and looked behind him at the beatufil garden, hearing the door open he turned round and was taken back abit, there in the door way was a tall, slim man roughly the age of 30, he had blue eyes and wore glasses with short black hair but the most noteable feature was that he had down syndrome.
" You Steven Evans ? " He asked. Evans nodded, the man reached out his arm and shaked Evans hand.
" I'm Jamie, we will just leave shortly i just gotta get my bag." He said as he walked back into the house and came out with a rucksack and a bomberjacket. They both walked to Jamies car and drove of to Gatwick shuttle port. During the journey, Jamie explained fully who Tomas Harper was.
" He use to be a common theif, murder, rapist but strangley he went religous but he wasn't happy with the ways of the church so he burnt the chuch down with the vicar inside, he was about to be arrested but bought his freedom and decided to join goverment, where he bribed them so they changed his identity was suppose to a retired scientest. He eventually made up his own religion one day, a bizzare one, they belive that long before us there was 5 Kharaa gods, 1 god for each speices, one day they ran into another race of alien who had only 1 god, the kharaa gods had a fight with the other god, they eventually sleighed him but with his dying breath he promised one day he will return and finish him and have a new race to govern, which is ment to be us, he also cursed them by making the Kharra species think that they need a hive, the hive once built would make the Kharra it produced evil and when they died the ywould have no soul left to bring back, Ekulo the Lerk god was suppose to be a gardener where she grew a plant that was suppose to bring back the deads spirits, kilkaloo was the Skulk god, hyptern was the Gorge god, Massaderi was the fade god and Hhanos was the Onos god."
They eventually arrived at Gatwick, they parked the car and got out and made their way towards the entrance.
" We want the East wing , dock 7." Jamie reminded Evans as they headed of to the East wing. As they entered the east wing, 4 men outside the space port got out of a military van, a security guard approached them.
" May i help you gentlemen ?" He asked nervously.
" Yes, tell your team to look out for a man named Steven Evans, he has dark brown hair and brown eyes, also no shuttles are to launch, the shuttle port is shut down by order of Lunar black 5"Replied the man as a squad of lunar black 5s entered the Shuttle port.
sorry for spellingmistakes,might need glasses if my vision gets any bad wore <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> part 4 should be up tomorrow.
Location = Gatwick shuttle port
Mission = closed by order of lunar black 5
Time=11:49 A.M
They were standing in the east wing lobby looking for dock 7 when they heard the PA annoucment.
" All flights are cancelled due to a personnel search, all travellers are on the look out for Steven Evans, if he would be so kind to come to head of security we will let you all carry on. Thank you."
Jamie cursed under his breath and looked around, 5 men dressed in black military uniforms with a white 5 in on the chest plater entered the east wing, two of them broke of to the right while the other 3 broke off to the left, jamie grabbed Stevens hand and started pulling him dock 7. He made Evans duck abit so they couldn't see him very well, they reached the dock without being noticed, there were a few men, who must have been members of the TSA, waiting for them, the ysaw them arrived and quickly jogged off down the hall way leading to the shuttle outside. They started running when they heard a shout.
" Hey you ! HALT !" Evans was till being dragged down the hall way when he turned round and saw 3 men chasing after them. Evans looked in front and saw the shuttles door, he was then thrown down on the floor as a ball of lighting flew past over their heads, jamie cursing, quickly got up and pulled him towards the ship again, Evans turned round again and saw them loading what looked like a rocket launcher but instead of rockets it was firing balls of lighting as they pulled out a jar and inserted another with a ball of lighting in, they reached the shuttle as the doors started clsoing, Evans turned round and saw a ball of lighting heading towards him then everything blacked out.
Jamie jumped into the pilot seat as the marines strapped Evans into a chair, he started up the engines but a warning signal came on as anti-shuttle luancher targetted them.
" TSA Shuttle 7 please turn round and surrender or we will open fire." Came a voice through the headset, he ignored it and diverted all shield power to engines, feeling a few more g-forces on his face.
" Sir they aren't surrending, open fire ?" Asked a young soldier standing by the anti-shuttle luancher. The sargent nodded as put his fingers in his ears as 3 large glowing missile were fired.
" HOLD TIGHT EVERYONE!!!" Jamie shouted as he rolled hard left watching the missiles fly past and turn round again for another run, he ejected some chaff and carryed on heading towards the Eartsh atmosphere, he felt a slight heavy vibration as a missile decided to head towards the chaff instead leaving the other 2 to do their run towards his shuttle, he engaged his boosters and managed to get above the missiles that were heading down towards him, making them miss and spend some fuel turning round, he was about 3000 meters from the atmosphere, very soon he could be able to engage his boosters if he could hold on for a few more minutes feeling the aircraft slowing down and charging the boosters, he suddenly had a idea, he saw the missiles close in in him on the radar, he qucikly pressed the fuel leak button and engaged his boosters, letting the fuel that was falling down catch alight. The missiles thinking the imment heat coming from the burning fuel homed in on that, letting the detonators inside, explode just before reaching the fuel which caused the 2 missiles to explode.
Location = TSA shuttle 7
Mission = transport TSA members between Earth and the Galio
Time = 4:02 P.M
Evans woking feeling very painful, he he had oins and needles all over him, slwoly he got up and realised he was wearing a TSa uniform.
" Afternoon sunshine." Came a familiar voice, Evans turn round and saw a man wearing a lunar black 5 uniform but had a familiar face.
" Sharpe ? why you dressed like that ?" Evans asked feeling the pain wearoff.
" Part of the plan that's why." Came Smethurts voice behind them.
" What plan ?" Evans asked again.
" We have decided to wipe out the guys on space vessel 343, but we can't merly fly up to it like last time. So Sharpe is going under cover and going to blow the security system on the ship so we can sneak in unnoticed and take them out." Buckle answered.
" When do we leave ?" Evans asked knowing he had to know what was going on.
" I'm leaving in 2 hours you lot leave tomorrow, with 3 other guys, two of them brothers, they will be our hackers and Bolmers our medic, Ventura and Smethurst will be normal soldiers while Buckle will be our heavy gun operator and trap layer, you just come along and act pretty." Sharpe said patting Evans on the cheek and leaving the ship.
Location = Galio
Mission = luanching space crafts
Time = 8:00 P.M
Evans watched Sharpe walk out of the breifing room and to the black space crafts bearing the white 5 symbol on the wings.
" How did he join them?" Evans asked as usual to Buckle. As he watched the troops and scientest board the crafts , pushing cages with Kharra aliens inside.
"That guy there asked him to join, he saw how we kicked his troops butts and wants sharpe t ocome along given his history of being a good soldier." Buckle replied pointing to a man who looked around 50, but with metal cheeks. Evans gaped like a fish before managing to say something.
" Tomas harper ?" Smethurst turned and nodded.
" Yep that's him, evil prat he is, bad history of being a murderer, thief, rapist, now he is a high up goveremtn guy, with all his money, dam money gets you anywhere these days." He said in a sad vocie.
Evans reconised this man of metal cheeks, his body shape emerging from a bush and mudering his wife, he felt a great rage build up in him, on the other side of the bay was his wife murder, he will get him Evans promised himself, he will avenge Jenny his wife as he watched the ships start their engines and leave the docking bay. Tomas Harper will pay.
are we going to get more lerks soon?
any news on getting 129th back?
Location = Lunar black 5 assult shuttle 2 of 5
Mission = to dock with space vessel 343 and wait for futher orders
Time = 3:32 A.M
Sharpe looked out the window as the cargo ship stopped and deployed 4 platforms that boosted themselves around the spae vessel and stayed in place, where they then deployed 2 large guns, one on top , the other below it, 2 assult shuttles slowly moved towards 2 docking ports, they carefully inserted the docking bays sticking out of the ship to where the doors on the assult shuttles were and stopped, Sharpe could hear some messages coming through on the head set, the ships then released frpm the docks and moved on letting the other to repeat the process, as the shuttle Sharpe was on started to dock, he checked his watch seeing how much time he had, the others were to arrive at 3 in the afternoon, he would have to disable those gun platforms around the ship and shut down the security system long enough for them to get on board unnoticed, he felt the ship vibrate and undid his seat belt, he picked up his machine gun, it was much like the TSA LMG, only the clip was underneath instead and had a screw on barrel for longer shots making the more powerful scope useful for sniping, he laughed at the though of needing a sniper rifle indoors and walked out onto the space vessel. He was back in space vessel 343.
" Ok bros listen up we are gonna set up base on the 1st floor seeing how all the transmitions and camera controsl are up there and all, every one switch safety off and have 4 round burst on, all squad leaders switch on your heart beat senors and set it to 75-90 beats per minute. Let's rock'n'roll men." The overseer commanded as he setted up his heart beat sensor and switched on his raiper machine gun and setted off with a map reader next to him showing where to go. Sharpes squad leader loaded his shotgun and nodded to a large black man in Sharpes squad, the man nodded back as he understood and started up his white line cannon letting the double barrels start rotating letting of a humming noise as they all walked slowly down the hall way. It was still as Sharpe remembered it damp, with moss growing on the walls, some people started saying that they where by a hive making Sharpe turn off his safety but decided to turn it back on hoping that the lerks won't attack him if he still didn't shoot them. They reached leve 2 without running into any Lerks or dead body which spooked a few men, there came a gasp up ahead as they entered a garden. It was the same garden where he and Evans saw the lerks bury the bodys of a human and dead lerks, where the other Lerks mourned the death of Lerks that were buryed, everyone stared roudn gobsmacked at the garden until the overseer told them to hurry up, they finally reached level 1 of the ship, the setted up base in a spacious room which had the transmitions and a map of the ship above the room which could be accessed by a ramp. the Overseer walked into the command bay and access the ships mainframe, he loaded it up and inserted a CD into the drive and installed the hack, he then loaded up the build function and dropped a armoury but the screen went blank cursing he spoke into his microphone.
" Squad 2 go and switch on the power it's just north of this room." Sharpes squad leader acknowledged the order and went into the double doors. The room was dim and humid, they seacrhed around until they found the power control door, they slowly entered the room, there was blood smeared on the walls and spikes stuck in the wall work and the generator itself, the squad leader examined the generator and the control panels, he kicked over a toolkit and took out some copper.
" Everyone cover me for abit i should have this thing on in know time." He instructed as he jammed teh copper into the cut wires and unscrewed the lid leading to the batterys. Sharpe felt a shadow come across him, startled he looked up and saw 5 or 9 lerks clinging to the ceiling, he slowly picked up a small metal bar and looked at his squad members, he saw his perfect victim, a man around the age of 23 or 24 looked was stanfing by cluthcing his weapon tightly his finger twitching on the trigger looking round nervously his legs shaking, Sharpe threw the metal bar behind the scared man and watched him shriek and spin round shooting up then generator by accident and hitting his squad leader who fell back with blood and birsting out and his chest plate splintering up as the hot magnesium armour peircing rounds hitted the chest plate. Everyone fell silent looking at where the man was shooting but all spun round as they heard a swoop noise and watched the young man getting picked up by 5 lerks lifted up then dropped shattering his legs and him crying out in pain, the black man holding the white line cannon gave a yell and started firing up at the cieling and him friends joined in, Sharpe moved towards the generator and started cutting it up even more, he heard a scream then a gurgle as a man choked on his own blood as a lerk flew full belt into his chest and cracking his rib cage peircing his lungs and letting blood fill them up. Sharpe jumped back in shock as a injured lerk landed in front of him, feeling pity for it, he pulled out a bandage by his dead squad leaders back pack and covered it before injecting it with a pain killer and letting it go, it eyed him for a few seconds before giving him a shriek noise and flew off into a vent behind him, he pulled out a large peice of glass with a micro chip inside and frisbied it into the black man with the white line cannon, it smashed into pieces cutting his arm and making him drop his cannon and bend over clutching his arms before having a lerk fly on top of his scalp and bite into the back of neck where it let go off his scalp and slided around his neck before cutting his wind pipe and letting him suffocate to death, the last man standing knew it was hopeless and ran off but stumbled as some spikes hitted him in the back of his leg, he turned round and told Sharpe to hurry up as he limped off, sharpe rose up and picked up the white line cannon knowing it would be helpful later, he watched the lerks drag the bodys into the vents and knew they were going to be buried, he walked out and shutted the door behind him and procedded back to the base.
" What happened ?!?! " Shouted the Overseer his face bright red in anger.
" We were ambushed. Overseer." Replied Sharpe looking serious. The Overseer hitted the keyboard makign it smash, then spoke into his radio.
" This Overseer we are ready for the base to be setted up sending a escort down to you, please dock and wait for us to arrive, also you may bring your bugs on board and your sceintests. Over" He ingnored the reply and ordered 3 squads to go and meet them, he made the others guard base and told a man wearing glasses holding a keyboard to set upthe security system and turrets oustide, he gave gloom nod and went into a corner setted typing away.
" Hi there." Came a voice above him he looked up and saw Sharpe standing above him.
" Hi." He replied and went back to his lap top.
" Whats your name ?" Sharpe asked.
" I'm Patrick." He replied.
" Do you like working for these guys?" Sharpe asked again.
" It's okay i suppose i really wanted to work for the TSA but they didn't need my skills, my father use to be part of the TSA but he retired so i kinda wanted to follow in his foot steps, but alas it didn't work out." Patrick replied as he typed on his latop.
" I'm part of the TSA, would what you say if i could get you to join us ?" Sharpe asked again.
" I'll do anything, this army sucks, just a bunch of thugs with high-tec weapons, lead by that corrupt Tomas harper guy."He replied eargely.
" What i want you to do is at 3 in the afternoon shut down the turrets outside the vessel and shut down the security system." Sharpe instructed.
" Why? " Patcrick answered lowering his voice.
" Me and some of my friends are going to protect this ship from Lunar black 5 as they are up to something." Sharpe replied in a whipser.
" Let me join you please." Patrick begged. " I want to make my dad proud."
Sharpe smilied and nodded. Patrick smilied and started typing up on his laptop.
Sharpe was trying to balance his knife on his hand when the door opened and the squad came back in carrying large crates and followed by 4 large bots, each armed with a minigun on top of it and a grenade launcher under neath it, then came sceintests carrying cages containing Lerks, gorges and a growing hive and Tomas Harper walking in happily and going up to the overseer and enegaing into a conversation, Sharpe checked his watch and waited.
Location = Galio
Missions = No missions, under control of Lunar black 5
Time = 7:30 A.M
Evans woke to the alarm clock and saw everyone else dressed in their armour, he sllipped out of bed and headed for a shower, they were ment to leave at 12, he stood still in the showers for a moment letting the water wake him up before drying himself and putting on clothes and his armour. They all headed to the canteen and ated as much as the ycan knowing they would need as much has energy as they could get. They waited in the ready room, Bolmers checked his health packs while the brothers tryed to hack each others computer before getting a complaint from a deskman saying that they deleted all his files, Ventura was in the corner praying with his sleeves rolled up, as he got up Evans noticed a strange symbol on his arm, it was a circle about 2 inches in diameter, it had tentacles inside the ring and had the skull of a horned creature in it but it acted as though it was trying to peel off his skin, Ventura noticed that he was starring at the symbol on his arm and came over to him. Ventura started explaining to Evans.
" That's the symbol of the Bul Gar'Hid, i use to be a follower of him before i left the them, knowingt hey were crazy, they believe that he will one day come back and lead to a better life, but he was defeated by-"
" The Kharra gods, but he cursed them with the hives that would make all Kharra creatures evil in it's radius and when they died they couldn't come back as the hive took their spirits." Evans finished off.
" They always say that they will bring him back, guess Harper heard one to many bed time stories and thought it was all real." Ventura carryed on.
" Ekulo is real." Evans mentioned. Venture stared at him for abit then joined Buckle and Smethurst.
" Ok guys let's start moving." Buckle ordered as he stood up and strecthed his arms before picking up his weapon and leaving the room, the brothers unplugged their computers and followed. They entered the bay it was empty all except for one craft, they all approached it and boarded it, Evans buckled himself in while examining the weapon Smethurst gave him calling it a level 4 light machine gun what ever that ment.
" Hang tight all." Came Bolmers voice over the headphones as the ship started up it's engines and rais it's landing pads, before exiting the dock and starting it's journey towards space vessel 343.
thats alot of typing
I'm at school now so I can't read it all
but damn, I will read this sucker when I get home
Location = space craft 2
Mission = Unkown
Time= 2:23 A.M
" We are just approaching the vessel now all." Annouced Bolmers.
" We will have to wait though as they have turrets up, hopefully Sharpe will have them offline soon enough."
Everyone gave a groan and carryed on doing their own activites in their cramp seats.
Sharpe looked at his watch, dam he had to get those turrets offline and shut down the security system.
" Patrick, follow me." He ordered, as Patrick pickedup his lapt op and followed Sharpe to the overseer.
" Sir, Partick here wants to check the secuirty systems make sure they aren't faulty as those bugs could have tampered with the system." Sharpe said to the overseer, he stared at Sharpe then at Patrick.
" Fine, but if anything goes wrong, i will kill both of you on the spot." He said menaciling. Sharpe saluted and proceeded into the security room on the other side of the base they setted up. The room was small it had poor lighting and was cramp.
" I want you to shut down the turrets outside the ship and the ship security system." Ordered Sharpe, Patrick nodded and started typing away.
" Ok guys the turrets are down, attempt to dock." Bolmers informed as he drove the ship quickly to the docking port.
" Ok securing with ship in 5 seconds, 3 , 2 , 1 , we are docked." He said as the ship shook roughly.
" Sir ! Turrets outside the ship are offline ! " Shouted a officer on his computer panel, the Overseer looked dumb struck at first, but recovered quickly and started turning the power for them on, but was denied as someone was on the username.
" You 2 ! Get them out of there now !!" He screamed at 2 men, as they sprinted to the door and started to weld it open after they foundout it won't open normally.
Sharpe aimed his gun at the door and watched the sparks trace the out line of the door.
" How are they doing ?" He asked Patrick.
" They have docked." He replied.
" Good. " He said as he turned round and stood on the computer and knocked out the vent, he dropped his guns and crawled in, Partick watched him, then decided to go aswell.
" Stand clear !" Shouted a man as a bot charged up it's grenade launcher and fired, exploding the door down and sending fragments everywhere, even cutting the connection between Patricks lap top and the turrets, as the lap top was cut in half by fragments.
They all got off the ship, when Bolmers realised he left his medicak packs by the cockpit, he walked back on while the others waited further ahead, he walked into the cockpit and picked up his medical packs, but froze as a red light flashed by the joystick.
The turrets were back online, they all detected the unkonwn ship and all rotated to face it, they all charged up their plasma bombs and fired sending 4 green balls heading towards craft 2.
Bolmers spotted the 4 greenballs closing in fast, he shouted for the others to run as he ran out of the cockpit but got his arm rapped up in the medical pack as it got caught up in the racks by the door, tugging hard it didn't come free.
" HELP !" He shouted but to no luck, giving a final tug, he fell over and banged his head.
" HURRY UP BOLMERS !" Shouted Smethurst.
" I'll go and get him." Said Buckle as he started heading towards the ship, as he opened the door, the space vessel shook vigorsouly, Buckle was thrown backwards as a ball of green flame engulfed the door way. Buckle raised himself slowly dazed by the exsplosion.
" We gotta move, before someone comes and finds us." Said Ventura, as he raised his gun and started moving.
" Where we exactly going to go ? " Asked Buckle.
" Level 5, the engine room." Replied Ventura without turning round.
" What hitted us ?!" Shouted the Overseer.
" The turrets sir, a ship tryed to dock with us, but was destroyed, cameras show intruders onboard." Replied a Officer.
" Squad 5, search and destory the intruders." Ordered the Overseer as a squad of 7 men left.
Tomas Harper came out of his office.
" What happened ?!" He demanded.
" Someone tryed to board the ship, the turrets destoryed their ship, we just felt the shockwaves." Replied the Overseer. Tomas walked back into his office and carryed on talking to his scientests.
" We will only get one chance at this, you must all remember your lines, you each will be given a summoning amulet, i have the robes stashed away in these cages, which are Lunar friends think are,bugs, we will go to the ships level where the plant is and do the summoning there, for Bul Gar'Hid !" He finished off,
" For Bul Gr'Hid " Chanted the other Followers.
" Ssssh! " Hissed Sharpe as he stared down the vent watching the people walk past.
" They baddies ? " Whispered Patrick.
" No, they are dumb twits." Replied Sharpe as he knocked down the vent grate and climed out.
" Yo ! guys wait for us." Said Sharpe as he helped Patrick down.
" Whos he ?" Asked Evans.
" This is Partick he was the one who shutted down the turrets and secuirty system." Replied Sharpe.
" He didn't do a very good job." Said Buckle his voice raised.
" Why ? Wheres Bolmers ? " Asked Sharpe, Patrick looking nervously at them all.
" The turrets weren't offline long enough. Bolmers went back on the ship but didn't make it." Explaind one of the brothers named Greg. Sharpe stared at them all then rosed his gun quickly.
" GET READY! " He said.
" For what ?" Asked Smethurst.
" The elevator." Replied Sharpe,as the elevators number went from 1 to 2 to 3 then their level, level 4.
I can't wait to see what happens
Mission = Mission post-poned due to hack on secuirty system
Time = 5:49 A.M
The elevator opened, all was silent except for a object thrown out the elevator, then a blinding flash with a deafing bang and several shapes moving through the white flash and taking cover behind creates or any object they could find to hide behind. Then followed was probably the longest silence Evans ever heard, after what seemed like eternity he was quickly brought back from a day dream as he heard a walking noise slowly approcahing him, he peered through a crack in his cover of a sheet of metal and froze as he saw 2 Lunar_black 5s approaching him, he started breathing heavley, panic in his breath, he raised his gun and put his finger on the trigger. He peered again and saw them getting closer, should he raise from his cover and shoot them ? many ideas running through his head, by the time he came up with a idea they were there standing next to him, he pressed himself agasint the wall and hoped that they would past by, looking up he saw a red beam landing on one of the lunar_black 5s helmet, confused it didn't take long to relaise it was a laser sight of a gun, he then closed his eyes as a roar of the gun sounded of down the hallway, Evans still with his eyes closed felt liquid spaltting on his face and a sharp object going into his cheek, another gun started firing in front of Evans, he opened his eyes and saw a man lying dead at his feet and another man firing in front of him, he raised his and fired, his arms weren't ready for the recoil of the weapon as his arms lifted up, feeling more blood splat onto his face, he then realised that he took a life, he stared at the body and ignored the gun shots going on.
Sharpe heard the gun shots and ducked, cursing under his breath, he sent Greg to the other side of the hallway to help flank them. He peered round the corner and saw 2 corpses on the other side of the hallway, he then spun round as he heard a clank sound behind him, one of Lunar_black 5s was behind him rasing his gun to shoot he then let of a 3 round burst, the first shot missed , the second shot hitted Sharpes chest plate, cracking it, the third round finished of the armour sending splintered metal everywhere, even into Sharpes shoulder, Sharpe wincing at the pain managed to fire his burst, hitting the man in his throat and sending him down to the floor.
Smethurst looked through his scope, he aimed for the mans nose but was interrupted as Greg tapped him in the shoulder.
" What ?!" Snarled Smethurst.
" Sharp-" Gregs reply was cut short as a hail of bullets rained at them, Smethurst felt a splatter of blood land on him, Smethurst turned round and fired fully auto at Gregs killer, watching the man landing backwards while his left leg stood up but ending at the knee cap, Smethurst retreated backwards running pasts Greg's killers foot that was a few feet away from the body itself.
Evans was startled as a figure loomed above him, he stopped starring at the man he killed and looked up at a man looming over him , holstering his rifle, and drawing a knife, though it was more like a sword, Evans tryed to fire his weapon but it just clicked, not firing anything, the man now was rasing his bladed weapon, suddenly the man was sent hurtling away as Gregs brother, Tim, shoulder barged Evans attacker away, Evans quickly drawed his pistol and came out from his cover, he saw the Lunar-black 5 man raise his weapon and stabbed Tim into his stomach, Evans aimed and fired rapidly, empting all 10 bullets in a matter of seconds, he checked Tim's heart rate only feeling the growing coldness on Tim.
Buckle finally managed to break free from his hiding place, a crate whos door got closed by accident, he started warming up his Heavy " Ripper " dual barrel machine gun and blasted the crate open, he stood up and saw 2 Lunar_black 5 men starring at him in fear and amazement, before they could react, he fired at them sending one of them cart-wheeling backwards the others man chest was pounded in by the bullets as he got pinned up agasint the wall, then landing with a thud as bullets spilled out of his torso. Buckle checked round to make sure if there was any more targets left, seeing none he holstered his weapon and tryed to find everyone.
" Everyone ok ?" Asked Sharpe.
" We lost the twins." Replied Ventura as they all came back together. They all spun round as Patrick fell out of the vent screaming as Lerks came pouring in from the vent, picking up the bodies and dragging them, one of them with a bandaged arm landed by Sharpe and gave him a look of reconigition and spiked the control panel on the elevator opening the doors for them, before assisting to help carry a body.
" What are they doing ? why aren't you shooting them ?" Asked Patrick in a fearfull voice.
" They wont attack us if we don't attack them, they also are going to bury the bodies." Explained Ventura.
" Come on let's get going before more arrive." Ordered Sharpe as he led them onto the elevator and pressed the 5 button on the elevators panel, the doors closed and they started going down towards level 5, the engine room.
the ending paragraph could use a quick touch up to make it easier to understand, nothing much else to report
let's have some more eh?

Part 8
Location = Space vessel 343
Mission = Post poned due to security hack
Time = 6:47 A.M
The elevator stopped with a sharp jolt and the doors opened, they all exited the elevator and proceeded to the double doors that led to the engine room, they could already see signs of the garden, large flowers bloomed, seedling trees with their leaves still growing, the door was slighty rusted and had vines growing on it, it took a few hits from Buckle and Smethurst as they rammed down the door using the butt of their guns, it gave way and revealed the garden, they all entered the garden, all starring at the beauty of it all, watching the Lerks fly over head of them, little rodent creatures scruying about, they kept moving along climing up a hill to get a view of the garden, they finally arrived to the top of the hill, over looking the valley, Sharpe pulled out a telescope and looked around.
" No signs of them, just plants, plants and whoa !" Breathed Sharpe.
" Whoa ?! " Asked Buckle puzzeled. Sharpe handed Buckle the telescope and turned it until it faced to what caught his attention.
" What are they doing ? " Buckle asked, he handed the telescope to Evans, he peered through them and at once reliased what caught their attention.
" They are praying to that plant, that plant on the top of the hill brings back ghosts of friends or loved ones, i reckon they think it's some sort of holy idol as Ekulo is Lerk god and it's only made by her, well only she maintains it." Evans explained.
" Ghosts ?! " Asked Patrick nervously.
" What are ghosts?"
" I'm a ghost." Came a voice from behind them. Patrick screamed in terror and turned round, the others turned casually ignoring Patricks scream of terror.
" JENNY ! " Shouted Evans as he ran up to her and embraced her, her skin was cold agasint his, but he didn't mind.
" Sir ! it's good to see you again." Came Hawkeswill voice, with Hudleston behind him,as they walked up to them shaking hands and patting on the backs.
" Nice to see you to, though i wish it was under better circumstances." Replied Sharpe.
" What do you mean ? " Asked Hudleston.
" Lunar black 5 is on the ship and they are up to something." Replied Ventura.
Patrick was puzzled at this all, who where these people ? Deciding that it was none of his buisness, he sat underneath and started up his lap top, a strange little rodent came up to him, it was like a rat though with chitin armour on it, he stroked it while his lap top came up with the starting screen, he plugged in his radar, which was inside his armour,into the lap top and loaded up the ships digram, everything seemed normal, all the lunar black 5s where all on level 1 he counted around 12 of them and 10 people all togther in a small room, puzzled by this he carryed on checking making sure the bots were still patrolling, which to his relief were. But what were those 10 people doing in a cramp room ?
They were all silent, the rooms only source of light were 13 candels, all of the men were wearing robes, each had the symbol of Bul Gar'Hid on it, the man in the middel was sitting corss legged on the floor holding a amulet in his hand, he slowly drew a knife and cutted his arm, he wiped the amulet on the blood and help it up again, watching the blood slowly trickle down to the tip of the amulet it stopped at the bottom forming a drip, it stayed there for 5 seconds before dropping down making a tiny drip sound.
" They are on floor 5." Replied the amulet holding man.
" Thank you Brother." Came Tomas Harpers vocie from under his robes of satin red, different from their leather brown robes his Bul Gar'Hid symbol was made of pure gold, while theirs was made of iron. TOmas left the room letting it fill up with light then closing the door.
" Overseer, we wish to go to level 5 of the ship." Demanded Harper. The Overseers back was to Harper, he rolled his eyes into his back of his head then turned roudn to face Harper.
" I'm sorry Sir, but the intruders are taking shelter in their and it seems highly infested with Kharra aliens." He replied. Harper cursed then ordered.
" Send your machines and your men, you will protect until we finish our job."
" But i haven't got enough men." Replied the Overseer.
" THEN GO WITH THEM !" Screamed Harper, the Overseer nodded, then annouced.
" All men are to report to HQ for breifing." Harper smilied and nodded at the Overseer then returned to his room. Why was he wearing that robe and what was that symbol that tryed to peel of his robes, something bad was going on, the Overseer knew, but he couldn't do anything, he watched his men pour in, dam only 11 men, 12 including himself , plus the 4 XD series bots.
" Men, the intruders are on level 5, this will be their last fight, we will go in and hit them so hard that they will never get to fire a round, we will send the bots in first, then we will go in with the sceintests and provide cover, now lets all move out to level 4." Scientests ? the overseer thought, hardly more likea monk or something religous, dam religion always starts fights he thought as his men started moving out, lifting up his "Raiper" machine gun and putting on his Power armour padding, which protected some of his arms and body he joined the rest of them, while 10 men in robes came out of Harpers office each bearing the strange symbol that tryed to peel itself of their robes, what was going ? on he thought.
" Guys ! you might wanna take a look at this." Patrick said panickly, they all approached his lap top starring at the screen.
" They all seem to be leaving their base and heading down towards us, oh no the robots are heading down straight for us." Patrick carryed on.
" We don't have firepower strong enough to peirce the XD bots armour." Replied Sharpe, as the blips represeting the bots moved from level 2 to level 3.
" Well i could turn them agasint themselfs, you must fire of these either behind it, or underneath." Partick said, as he fished about in his pocket then pulling out 2 cylinder objects, each had a sharp point then a glass tube with what seemed like purple lightning bolts inside it, each bolt would send 2 other bolts out before dissapearing.
" These are blind grenades, it'll send the bolts inside scrambling the insides and hopefull destorying the IFF system then it'll eventually kill itself after the batterys are fully melted away from the bolts." He explained, Sharpe took them and gave one to Ventura and the other to Smethurst, they both inserted it into their LMG by taking out their clips and inserting it in from there. Sharpe looked round, then noticed something.
" Wheres Evans?" Asked Sharpe.
" He walked off with Jenny." Hudleston explained.
" Is there anyway we could help ?" Asked Haweswill.
" I don't have any spare guns im sorry, but you could go warn Evans and ask him to make the bugs help us." Sharpe replied, Hawkeswill and Hudleston jogged of to find Evans and warn him.
" Sir we are going to bury ourselves by the door, the bots will come in by, hopefully we will have a clear shot of them." Ventura annouced to Sharpe, Sharpe nodded and watched the others walk off.
" What do we do ?" Asked Patrick.
" Stay here and see what happens." Sharpe replied as he sat agasint a tree and tryed to get some sleep.
"camp here, you go on the left, i'll take the right, get the last two to enter the garden." Ventura ordered as they started making ditches and covering themselves in twigs and dead bushes until they had good enough camoflague and waited,the ground around them started to vibrate abit, then stop, they tensed their fingers on the triggers, they heard the cargo lift land, then the sound of machines moving could be heard with the odd strange garbel of machine talk. The first bot appeared its grenade launcher visible under the belly of it, the head of it poking out from the torso, which had a leg either side of it, it stopped and scanned the room, it then carryed out letting the other one in, the yboth aimed waiting for the last two to enter, the last two came in,both stopped to scan the surrodings, Smethurst fired into the one closets to him, while Ventura shot the one near him. At first nothing happened the bolts were stuck in the bots but not doing anything, then smoke appeared from thes bots head, before exploding, the grenade launchers started firing widly, with the machine guns joining in spinning round on its rotation disks, the first bot took a grenade to the leg, the grenade went staright into its leg and staright out the other side before exploding infront of the bot itself,unable to move it stood immobilse letting of a smoke screen hoping to hide it's self from it's attacker but was finally taked down by a second grenade piercing its torso and exploding inside, making it collaspe with a heavy thud, Ventura watching this heard the elevator in motion, he loaded his LMG clip and watched the last bot be destoryed by a hail of bullets ripping into its batterys and turning it offline. Smaethurst also heard the elevator in motion and loaded his LMG, the elevator now stopped, he could hear the doors open and the bots firing at the people inside, listening to shouts and screams, he heard fizzling noise like that of a sparkler going off, then a crackling noise as the bots went offline.
" Whats going on ?" Asked Buckle his weapon ready, while Sharpe groaned from being woken from his sleep and picked up his gun.
" Well it-er-seems that-er- troops are also down here." Replied Patrick his voice full of fear. Sharpe looked through his telescope and saw 8 men enter the room,one of them wearing power armour. He quickly thought of a plan, he then ran off down the hill while Buckle followed leaving Patrick sitting there looking clueless.
Dam bots, what happened to them ? the elevators door opened and they started firing at his tropps before going offline. Only 8 of them left, where did Harper and his men go ? They all entered the room slowly amazed by the garden, they were all out in the opening of the garden by the double door entrance, he then heard a pfft noise and a green cloud of toxin clouded them all. The Overseer attached his mask to him before assisting his troops, the clouds eventually went, heading towards them was at first glance a brown cloud, then on closer inspection as it drew near it was a swarm of Lerks heading for them, they all started firing at them but clouds of yellow gas appeared which seemed to stop the bullets, in a few seconds they would be all over them, the Overseer pulled down his mask to protect his face and stood ready to hold his ground.
Sharpe ducked at the first gun shots but realised it wasn't aimed at him looking puzzled he saw the swarm of Lerks attacking the Lunar Black 5s, the men were wailing their arms around trying to hit the Lerks but to no luck with their lighting speed helping them avoid the blows.
Ventura decided to help by firing at the Lunar Black 5s feet kncoking them down howling in pain and Lerks swarming over the fallen over men. Smethurst also joined in shooting them in the feet and sending them down in pain.
His men were dropping like flys this was useless, where were the monks ?! His men were being covered in bugs, his power armour was failing, it eveually cracked and shattering, his body swarmed by Lerks , the pain of their sharp teeth sinking into his flesh, then a gun shot in his foot crumpling him to the ground, before his vision completely went he saw a hooded figure stare at him far of in the distance, then he blacked out.
The Lerks started dragging the corpses to holes which were being dugged, Ventura and Smethurst got out of the bunkers and strecthed their legs before heading of to the hill meeting Sharpe and Buckle on the way hiding in bushes, they found Patrick hiding up the tree, Sharpe looked round then asked.
" Wheres Evans ?"
part 9 tomorrow i hope,post back if you want, or is it only that annoying kid who reads these ?

so all the lunar black are dead?
C'mon people this man has put some time and effort into this story! give him some feedback
Well, I for one think it's good.
But one problem, your sentences sort of drag on. It's the kind that makes me read about 2 words and skip to the end. Try to make them a little more... alive, like, instead of, "He killed the Skulk.", you should so something more interesting and exciting like "As the Skulk leaped toward him, he emptied endless rounds of machinegun bullets into it until finally, it collapsed at the floor in front of him."
That's all that needs to be fixed, I think. It was pretty good overall.
you sure you read it?
Location = Space vessel 343
Mission = Cancelled, all personel are KIA or MIA
Time = 1:37 P.M
Evans and Jenny left the group so they could be alone, they talked about what was going on in their lives. Hawkeswill and Huddleston appoarched them as they stodd hugging under a tree.
" Some men are approaching you must find cover." Hawkeswill told them as he reached them.
" We know a plac-" Hudleston was cut short in his sentence as a red flash came from a bush sending a red bolt which glowed red as fire into Hudleston, he knelt to the ground, breathing heavily as he started fading away in a blue shroud while a blue figure of an etheral skeleton rised above the cloud before dissapearing. Hawkeswill suprised by what happned, tryed to spin round to face their attacker but was hit by the red bolt fired again from the bush, he started fading in a blue mist also a blue skeleton appeared from the mist before vanishing from sight. Evans and Jenny stood there hugging eaching waiting for them to be shot, Evans turned his head towards the bush and saw a robed figure emerge from the bush, he then walked towards followed by another 9 of them coming up from the hill, the hooded figure reached them and drew back his hood, the head raised up to face them revealing Tomas Harper.
" Hello there, seems very familiar the way i came from the bush doesn't it ? well im not going to ask you for money or anything seeing how i have enough of that, though i do wonder if i should shoot you like last time." He said as he raised a strange pistol, that had carvings in it of symbols and pointed it at Jenny, Evans stood infront of her and was ready to take the shot.
" But alas ! you no real threat, you weren't last time and your not this time aswell, for that i do have something very remarkable to show you, if you would be so kind to follow me, i'm sure you would find it most interesting, even if your not religous it's history in the making." With that he walked off, while two men dragged them along by their arms roughly.
They reached the hill with the soul plant at the top, the Lerks stopped praying their chanting dying out and them eyeing Harper, they then flew off hissing and crying.
" How kind." Harper chuckled to himself as he stood at the foot of the hill and with drew a book, he opened it and started reading the words to himself, everyone else wearing robes knelt arouns the hill and started chanting in a strange lanuage Evans didn't understand, he felt Jenny huddle up to him scared by what was going on, then Harper started reading from the book in a strange language like the rest of them, though it sounded like a language full of hate and death. At first nothing happened, then the flower ontop of the hill started going blood red, growing thorns and killing all the plants and animal around it as though it was burning them. The ground underthem started rumbling but stopped then 4 black twisted looking poles grew from the ground on top of the hill then a flight stairs as though as they were made of bones appeared from the top of the hill and leading towards the bottom. Then a blinding red flash emerged from the plant, blinding Evans and making Jenny giving a quiet scream, then as though someone said it in his head Evans heard a voice whispering.
" Rute kiop Bul Gar'Hid nera mesi; Bul Gar'Hid returns bringing a new darkness with him.
" Dam, what the heck was that ?! " Said Buckle as a res flash went off in the distance by a hill.
" I dunno but let's move quickly." Ordered Sharpe.
" They are summoning him." Said Ventura to himself.
" What ? who's summoning who ?" Asked Smethurst, Ventura didn't reply but started running off to the hill, the others started chasing after him.
The plant now sperted out what seemed like pollen, thoug hit just hovered above the plant not moving, it slowly moved into a circle shape and started glowing red, the chanting grew deeper, as the circle shape of pollen errupted forming a portal 12 feet tall. Evans stared in amazent Jenny couldn't help but stare aswel still clutching Evans tightly.
" What the hell is going on here ?" Buckle said behind them. Sharpe, Smethurst, Patrick, Ventura and Buckle walked up next to them amazed by what was going on.
" They are summoning Bul Gar'Hid." Answered Ventura.
" Whos that ?" Sharpe asked.
" A god." Replied Ventura.
" So let's stop them." Buckle said as he started up his weapon. A roar came from the portal and a bolt shot out of the portal sizzling Buckles Weapon and melting it in his hands. Ventura shook his head and carryed on watching.
" Not long now Sharpe." Harper called.
" You can't control a god." Sharpe replied.
" I AM GOD !" Harper yelled.
" No your not, he is." Ventura replied as he pointed to the portal. A creature roughly 12 feet tall, tough loooking skin, a row of jet black spikes running down from his back to muscular tail that ended with a spiked club on the end. Its arms were bulky ending in 3 spiny fingers with fierce claws on the end. It's legs were short but looked as though they could jump further than they could run in a matter of seconds. It's face has a long snout , like that of a crocodile but larger jaws, it's teeth were probably bigger than their hands, at the tip of it's head 2 long spikes grew out of it. It eyed them all, then strided towards a pillar and hitted it shattering it and revealing a long bladed sword, it pulled it out and gave a loud defening roar, it jumped it the air, everyone watched lost for words at Bul Gar'Hid,it landed slicing a robed man in half with it's large sword, the robed men stood still immoblised with fear, while Harper stood their laughing to himself. Bul Gar'Hid reached for the man on his left and grabbed him by his leg and slammed him agasint a tree , his torso cracking opens and his organs falling out, he strided towards a man running away and picked him up in teeth, he shook his head the mans legs went flying off in a splatter of blood.
" Patrick, you take Jenny and go and hide." Sharpe wispered as he watched Bul Gar'Hid toss a man into the air and cut him into pieces before his body reached the floor, he picked up 2 men and slammed them togther, blood oozing from his hand, he licked up the blood of his hand, the last three men started shooting Bul Gar'Hid he strided over to them ignoring the bullets, he loomed over them and hacked at them with his sword, limbs flying everywhere, he looked around hoping for something else to kill, he spotted Harper and strided towards him, Harper lifted up a amulet and showed it to Bul Gar'Hid he stared at it for a few seconds then started cleaning his sword.
" Amazing isn't he ?" Harper boasted.
" How do we kill him." Evans asked.
" A true follower, who loves him so much that he wont want to be sacraficed must sent into the pits that spawned him"Ventura replied his voice full of grim. Evans thought for abit.
" Harper! he wont want to be sacraficed when he controls something like this."
" Yeah but who will distract Bul Gar'Hid while we knock Harper into the pit ?" Buckle asked as he drew his shotgun. A large shriek came behind them, there hopes raised as Ekulo came darting forwards to Bul Gar'Hid, he saw Ekulo coming and raised his sword ready.

Ekulo came darting so past it knocked Sharpe, Buckle, Ventura, Smethurst and Evans over. Bul Gar'Hid tryed to swipe Ekulo, but Ekulo turned hard left and whipped Bul Gar'Hid round the face, wasting no time the 5 men started running towards Harper on the hill, he spotted them coming and drew his pistol and started firing at them, they hid behind trees and stayed there. Harper then started chanting something, Evans wasting no time ran up to the hill and leaped at Harper, Harper turned round and saw Evans leap at him, trying to move out the way he was caught by the leap and knocked over towards the pit that was covering the hill top, with the flower on a island in the middle, Harper quickly stood up and threw a bunch at Evans, making him stagger back, Sharpe seeing the fight told the others to move they charged up the hill but froze, there a arm reached up out from the pit, it grabbed onto a rock and pulled up a scrawny body, but had spikes running down it's back, it's large mouth,snarling at them as it rose up from the bit revealing 4 spiny legs and a long tail, it stared at them as another joined it followed by another, then a 6 legged creature with a long mouth full of tiny razor sharp teeth and a spiny tail crawled out, then a large bulky armed creature came out, it rose up on 2 strong legs with tentacles with spike on the tip of them it' tiny head hardly visible.
" How are they ?" Asked Smethurst rasing his gun.
" Bul Gar'Hid spawn." Ventura said as he aimed at the 6 legged creature who slowly approached them poising to strike. They heard a shriek behind and a deafning roar as Ekulo went darting above them firing a volley of spikes at the creatures, impaling them into the ground but were replaced as a dozen more came up.
" Evans you take Harper, we will handle these guys." Sharpe whispered to Evans as he stared at the spiny 4 legged creature as it moved towards them drawing his weapon closer to him. Evans turned round and saw Harper running down the hill, he chased after him, sliding down the hill quickly gaining closer to him, Harper spun round as Buckle fired his shotgun and a disturbing whailing noise, he saw Evans and started drawing his gun from his robes, but was too late as Evans elbowed him over in the nose, making Harper bleed and the gun fall out of robes and was crushed as Bul Gar'Hid landed on it who blocked 2 spikes from Ekulo with a sword before leaping into the air and trying to snap at Ekulo, who sliced his back with her talons sending blood down landing on Harper and Evans, Harper rose up starring at Evans.
" I killed your wife, now im going to kill you, but your death is going to be long and painful." Harper taunted Evans, Evans burning up with rage screamed and started throwing punches at Harper, Harper took a blow to the stomach but kicked Evans in the leg knocking him down before slamming ontop of him and throwing punches at the temple of his head, Evans unable to move felt Harper get off then saw Ekulo picking him up off Evans, out of no where Bul Gar'Hid jumped into Ekulo sending her flying off and Harper tumbling on the ground before slamming into a rock.
They just kept coming and coming, Sharpe thought to himself, as he reloaded his 3rd clip then dispatching the 2 legged monster sprinting towards them arms out stretched.
" Don't let them surround us." Sharpe shouted as he started firing at a group of 6 legged creature that were sneaking in from behind, Buckle turned round and fired at a 4 legged creature his gun clicked as he started inserting bullets in, he glanced up and saw the creature just meters from him, he lifted up gun to fire, but a volley of spikes hailed down on the attacking monsters, they started dropping as tiny needles spiked through their skin and implaing their organs inside, some vomiting blood as their lungs were pierced, Smethurst whooping in delight celebrated to early as Bul Gar'Hid swept over them and slicing at the lerks, Ekulo tryed to fend him of by firing needled into his feet, he swizled round and blocked the attacks but 1 needl got through and peirced his foot, he cried out in pain and pulled out the needle and threw it at a monster below him, implaing the creature through the head.
YES ! He was unconcious, Evans started dragging Harpers body up the hill, Bul Gar'Hid saw Evans dragging and roared at him, Evns panicking dragged Harper faster up the hill, he felt a large thud and looked up and saw Bul Gar'Hid standing infront of him, slowly raising his sword to strike Evans down, he heard Ekulo shriek and fire 2 spikes into Bul Gar'Hids back,blood squirted out onto Evans and Harper, the blood was hot and heavy on Evans, he saw Harper stirring and started dragging him up, before he reached the top Harper sprang up kicking Evans in the face and sending him backwards. Buckle seeing Harper drew his pistol and fired a round into his back, Harper dropped down in pain, blood pouring from his wound, Evans crawled to Harpers body and started dragging him up harper too weak to move put up a little fight, turning over trying to kick Evans,only to fail as he couldn't pull enough energy togther.
" Cover him!" Ventura shouted as they formed a circle round Evans and advanced towards the pit. Bul Gar'Hid sensing the danger turned round and speeded off with Ekulo giving persuit firing needleds at him, but he just evaded them with ease.
" Heads up, he's coming in fast!" Smethurst shouted.
" Almost there!" Sharpe replied,as Bul Gar'Hid threw his sword like a frisbie slicing monsters down but also slicing Buckles leg, blood poruing out, he fell down to the floor moaning.
" Keep going your almost there !" He shouted as he fired at a 6 legged creature making it's head fly off. Bul Gar'Hid sensing his doom made a final attempt to stop them, he pulled a spike of his back, blood leaking from it, he threw it with all his might, it landed perfectly into Harpers leg going through his leg intot he ground and them unable to drag him.
" Dam now what ?" Sharpe asked. Ventura drew his gun and started firing away into Harpers leg, blood covering them, the leg finally came off and they carryied on dragging him. Smethurst turned round to check up on Buckle and saw monster swarming in on him, he gave a shout and helped his friend firing at the monsters. Evans saw the pit now in was meters away from him, they felt a tremor and the ground and saw Bul Gar'hid heading for them hacking at monsters who got in the way. They made it, they felt the ground shake as Bul Gar'Hid strode towards them.
" You'll never get your wife back fully." Harper said quielty loud enough so only Evans heard.
" Least she comes back unlike you, go and have fun with your friend." Evans replied as he shoved Harper down the pit, Harper hitted agasint the sides of the pit falling down, ripping apart as red ghost like images tore apart at him. Everywhere was silent, Evans looked round at the images of the monsters, their flesh slowly rotting, their bones turning black then into ash, Bul Gar'Hid dropped to his knees his body detirriatting, Ekulo swooped down and ripped Bul Gar'Hids torso of his rotting legs. She dropped the torso into the pit errupting in a shower of red flames, the vines growing rapidly over the pit, the plant in the middle dropping it's thorns and turning back it's bloodred leaves to blue with silver rims, green stems restoring from the black ones, Evans looked round and agreed with himself, it was finished.
Jenny and Patrick took cover in a cave they watched the whole battle and saw the 5 figures returning, she ran out of the cave across the garden, Evans his arms out stretched ran towards her, they embarced each other. Then a tear pouring from her eye.
" What's wrong ?" Evans asked.
" You'll be leaving." She said sulkily not looking at him. Evans didn't reply he knew they would leave, but did he really want to leave ? did he want to go back to his lonely life, full of boredom? or stay here with his wife ?
Sharpe stared at his friend , then knew what he was thinking.
" I'll leave you two alone, if you want to return come to the docking bay in a hour." He led the others out of the garden.
" I want to stay." Evans said looking at Jenny, she smilied.
" There is food to support you, but i'm sure you have a life to live at home." She replied.
" I don't im alone, i'm staying." He potested, she bent forward and kissed him of the lips.
" But i must say good bye." Evans said sadly.
Sharpe saw Evans appoach down the hall way. Half of him anted him to stay, he would be happy here, the other half didn't want to lose his friend.
" I'm staying." Evans said quielty, Sharpe knew he would say that, he stared at the floor not answering.
" I want you to destory the soul pant by my bed at home, tell my employers i quit and----have a good life." Evans mumbled tears coming to his eyes, Sharpe hugged his friend knowing this would be their last meeting. He nodded and walked onto the ship then faced his friend as the docking doors closed, the only thing to remeber him by was a memory nothing else.
" He stayed ?" Ventura asked, Sharp nodded tears trickling down his cheeks.
" Ready sir ?" Jamies voice came the cockpit.
" We are." Buckle answered for Sharpe.
" Hold tight." Jamie said as the ships engines started up and detatached from space vessel 343.
" Bye Evans, i'll miss you buddy." Sharpe said to himself.
Evans heard the ship fly off, he turned round and ran all the way back to the garden, up to Jenny and hugged her.
" I love." He whispered.
" I love you too." She replied.
<u>AFTER MATH</u>
Evans and Jenny lived hapily togther, Evans eventually died but was brought back from the soul plant. Sharpe did destory the seed for Evans, he continued to fight the Kharra wih Buckle, Smethurst, Ventura and Patrick. The war between the Kharaa and man kind still raged on, Lunar_black 5 was scarpped after insufficent funding, more money was spent in the TSA to produce more fficent weapons agasint the Kharaa. No one ever returned to Space vessel 343, rumours where made up of a space vessel haunted by spirits of ghosts. After Sharpe passed on, Evans returned him with the soul plant, life was it it's best for Evans.
