<div class="IPBDescription">A New threat to the TSA</div> Hey all haven't posted a story in a wee while so here comes one as usualy it isn't your basic Marine Vs Kharaa story seeing how it's coming from me <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> . In some my first 2 storys i mentioned Lunar Black 5, well this is introducing them.
"Now this is how a real army works David." Jim said to a 50 year old man who had see much action in his life, starting from your basic grunt he was now head of the TSA, the only line of defence agasint the Kharaa until now.
" Operation Sudden Strike is a go Major." Jim said into his headset as he watched a screen full of pictures showing what Jims men could see.
" Roger that Operation Sudden Strike commencing." Came a reply.
" Ok guys breach bang and clear go on Hawks Mark." The team leader said.
" Roger that Alpha on standby." Came a reply
" Beta on standby."
"Charlie on standby."
" Blood eye ready taking shot."
He was hiding in the rafters of the hive looking down at the Kharaa through his sniper scope, he slowly picked his target of a fade and aimed for between it's eyes, he held his breath,aimed, put his finger to the trigger and Squeezed it. The sniper rifle recolied makign a deafning roar , impressing David by how Jims team where aloud rifles and having a sharp shooter. The Fade cartwheeled backwards while it's jaw went flying across the room. The team leader then shouted down his headset.
" ALPHA GO!"
" BETA GO !"
" CHARLIE GO !"
Two men hiding behind round a corner heard the shot and blew the door blowign apart it's hinges, one of them pulled out a Flash bang and threw it into the Hive room making a deafning bang, while another two were thrown in, wasting no time they pulled down the thermal goggles and rushed into the room both drawing their rifles and aiming at the Dazed Kharaa, on the other side of the room two other men were also firing at the dazed Kharaa, Hawks hiding in the rafters loaded his rifle again and fired at the a strap supporting the hive to the beam, the stream snapped and the hive hung at a angle, blood pouring from it one of it support roots, just then the blast door opened revealing two men with a large eight barrel cannon on wheels, the yaimed at the hive and fired, the cannon recoiled backwards as the rockets flew out of it into the hive exploding it into a shower of flesh. Hawk spotted a Skulk running off, he loaded his Rifle and fired at it cracking it's spine and cutting the creature in half.
" Hive clear, mission complete, code four."
The leader picked up his radio and spoke into it.
" Sir Mission complete."
Jim smiled at David and replied.
"Copy that come back to the dropship."
He stared at them, he admitted it to himself ,they must be elites, but they were new, surley the Goverment would keep the TSA and not replace them.
" Troops this is TSA head administartor David.k.Phil, this is Alpha team they are the basic ground troops."
David shook their hands each of them having a firm grip and a muscular body.
" This is Beta team also another basic ground team, this is Charlie team, they are the cannon or heavy weapon people, this is Hawk our sniper and this is Ben Fail our Team leader." David shook all their hands.
" Well you all know how to handle yourselves out there, it's been a pleasure meeting you." David said to them, Jim smirked and ordered the pilot to return home. The dropship left as a blinding white light went off with a large rumble then silence, David raised a eye brow at Jim, he smiled and replied.
" Just precaution." The ship landed at the space station Galio and they all left the ship, the men headed of to towards the barracks while Jim shook hands with David as the yboth went seperate ways. David went into his office and sat down.
" How where they ?" A TSA marine asked David as he sat down.
" We are in real deep trouble, it went like clock work, not a single flaw, plus high-tec stuff like thermal goggles, eight barrel portable ALtogo cannons, top of the line sniper rifle."David said as leaned back
" And Goverment funding." The marine replied, David bolted up.
" WHAT?!" He said startled, the marine handed him a letter, David read it to himself, he finished reading it and cursed.
" No more Goverment funding unless the TSA is more efficent than Lunar Black 5, what trash, only bescause they have top commandos, TSA will respond to chrisis to involving Kahraa lifeforms. Dam what are we going to do Sharpe ?" David asked.
" Hope we don't make any screw ups i guess." Sharpe replied. David nodded and lit a pipe.
" Sharpe i'm giving you permission to pull a team together, in the cabinet over there you'll find a record of all the troops." He gestured towards a dark black cabinet, Sharpe went over to it and opened it, he went through each one until he chosen a few which he liked. He picked them up and saluted David, David nodded and leaned back in his chair smoking his pipe.
" Good luck Sharpe."
" What the hell is that ?" The cleanere maid asked. As a scuttling noise went past above them in the vent above them.
" I'm not sure, it was making that noise earlier while i was making breakfast for the President." The cook replied.
" I'm sure it's just a rat." The Maid nodded and walked out the kitchen, the Chef carryed on preparing the soup, he peered into soupand spat into the soup and spat into it, he chuckled to himself, then stopped as object fell into the soup he stared at it as it bobbed up and down, he stared at the human heart bobbing up and down in the soup and heard a chuckle behind him, he turned round and saw a Skulk, blood oozing out his chest and the Skulks jaw, it then leaped at his head and caught his head in it's powerful jaw before breaking his neck and him falling to the floor.
The maid walked back into the kitchen.
" Is the soup....AHHHHHHHH!!!!" She screamed as four or five Skulks were tearing at the cooks corpse, she then froze as two long sycthe like claws slowly palced themselves round her neck then sliced it open. As she crumbled to the ground.
"Now this is how a real army works David." Jim said to a 50 year old man who had see much action in his life, starting from your basic grunt he was now head of the TSA, the only line of defence agasint the Kharaa until now.

I can't wait!!!!!!
The body guard walkedown the corridor, suddenly a projectile like object hitted the cieling infront of him, smashing the lights, the bodyguard drew his pistol and aimed down the corridor, a figure suddenly appeared in a cloud of blow and purple smoke.
" PUT YOUR HANDS UP !" The bodyguard shouted. The figure slowly raised what looked like sycthes.
" What the hell ?" The guard said to himself, then suddenly the creature appeared closer to him without moving appearing in a cloud of blue and purple smoke, then dissapeared out of sight.
The guard kept aiming down the corridor, when he sure it was safe he turned round and saw a tall dark creature staring at him, it chuckled and in one swift swipe it beheaded him. The Guard felt a sharp pain in his neck then he rolled across the room, he stared at his headless body as it fell to the floor and the fade walked off before his vision blacked out.
The door leading to the President office cracked open as it slowly dettirated before the President and his 2 Bodyguards eyes, the Bodyguards immeadialty pressed a button on a painting of a past ship and the carpet opened revealing a secret room with food and supplys in it, he lowered himself into it and it closed, the guards looked towards the door waiting for the intruder to enter and raised their pistols. What seemed like ages was only a few seconds,one guards was kicked fowards by a thing behind them, the other guard spun round allready firing, hitting the fade twice in the chest, the fade fired a object at him, burning him, he coiled in pain as his flesh melted away, his left arm falling to the floor, the Fade stood on, crushing sending blood flying out, the man who was kicked was dazed, he then looked up and saw the Fade standing abov him, the Fade stomped on his chest, chrushing organs, and making his ribcage impale his lungs. The President heard the shots and pressed the alarm.
The Admiral saw the alarm button and gasped.
" I want a security team now in the prsident room. You send a S.O.S NOW !" HE sat down in his chair, watching the man send a message and the Security force leave the.
" OH JESUS CHIRST !" A Man shouted as the door smashed open and a large rhino looking creature charged in, it impaled a man on it's horn before it came to a halt and sent the corpse flying across the room, it stomped on the ground knocking everyone over, before it devoured a man in one, it stomped on a mans head, sending his brain flying onto wall, the Admiral looked up and drew his pistol and fired it the creature, either the bullet didn't hit or he missed, either way it just ignored the bullet and carryed on implaing everyone, it was then joined by ten or so dog like creatures as they all leapt in, slicing peoples stomachs open or biting them in half, the Admiral turned round to face the window showing the outside of space, he ignored the screming and hslowly hummed Twinkle TWinkle Little Star to himself, he looked at a picture of his daughter on his pocket watch, he smiled and said to her.
" I'm sorry, guess i won't make it home for chirstmas, daddy loves you baby." He carryed on humming as he drew the pistol to his head, sat down in his chair and fired.
Just a wee bit too violent for my tastes...
It would've been better if the Admiral shot out the window into space with his handgun; sucking all the kahaara out with him.

good work so far, this could be good, and I love the tie in on lunar black, it harks back to the old works of yours
MORE I say!
He looked down his list so far:
Smethurst.
Buckle.
Hawkeswill.
Hudleston.
Ventura.
Parker.
Derag.
Everyone else was too old or didn't have enough expericence. Where to start looking for them he thought ? The bar was the first palce to come to mind. He pocketed his list and left his room, he locked the door and headed towards the bar. the journey was short, the space station was still being touched up, the odd wall was missing, showing yet to be finished rooms. The bar was a large place, probably the first room to be made on the ship.
" Pint of Caladbolg please." Sharpe asked the bar men, he nodded and poured him a pint, Sharpe paid the man and sat down at a table, he looked round the room, it was empty except for four tables with people at tgem, one of them was croweded with 7 people on it all laughing and playing a game of cards.
Sharpe eaves dropped on their conversation.
" Damit your cheating Hudletson."
" Shut up, it's obvious Ventura is cheating."
" I don't cheat, if any one would cheat it would be Buckle."
" Hey i cheat because i need the money."
" God sake Buckle,everyone pass me your cards, i'll deal them out again."
Sharpe smiled he stood up and walked up to them.
" Hi there." He said to them. They turnedround and faced him.
" Er... Hi" Said the man who must have been Buckle.
" Can we help you ?" Ventura asked.
" Could i play?" Sharpe asked. They exchanged each other glances, three of them were shaking their heads. The man with the gave them the finger and replied.
" Sure, grab a chair, what's your name ?"
" I'm James Sharpe." Sharpe replied as he drew up a chair. They were all taken back.
" I'm sorry Sir, i didn't know it was you." The card dealer said apologetically.
"It's cool, your off duty and so am i."Sharpe replied.
" Oh, i'm Smethurst, this is Ventura, Buckle, Parker, Hudleston,Hawkeswill and Derag." Sharpe smiled and nodded and said hi to them.
" We'll play 21 seeing how BUCKLE can't cheat at that." Smethurst said, staring at Buckle, Buckle made a rude gesture at him and picked up his to cards.
Soon they were bonding well, Buckle tryed to cheat but stopped when Smethurst punched him in the groin.
" Oh hell." Smethurst whipsered to them, Sharpe tunred round and saw 8 men enter the room.
" They the Lunar Black 5 people ?" Sharpe asked.
" Yep, rich A-holes." Buckle said with envy. They walked past them all, one of the budging Smethurst off his chair on purpose. Smethurst stood and challenged them.
" WANNA TRY THAT AGAIN KNUCKLE HEAD ?!" The Lunar Black 5 turned round and stared at them, everyone around Sharpe rose up, Sharpe stood up not wanting to miss some action. The one who knocked Smethurst of his chair, walked up to him, he looked up and down of Smethurst and smiled, he spat at Smethurst in the face, with lighting speed Smethurst grabbed the man by the throat and threw him onto the table, Buckle picked up a chair and ran up to a man and whacked him round the face, before he felt a Sharp blow landing to his head, knocking him over. Parker was wrestling down a man before grabbing the mans left arm and twisitng it quickly, making a loud cracking noise, he quickly twisted the mans other arm making it crack and letted him drop to the floor. Ventura quickly rolled onto the table to evoide being hit by a glass, he spun his body round and muled kick the man in his chin, teeth falling out of his mouth as he fell to the floor. Sharpe seeing Derag being wrestled down by two men, ran up to them he elbowed on of them in the face, causing his nose to bleed , Derag managed to break free and punched the man in the back the head, knocking him uncouncious. Hudleston helped Buckle up but was knocked down by a chair to the back, he kicked the man in the groin, causing him to bend forward in pain before finishing him with a kick to the face. Hawkeswill was wrestling down the other, he managed to grip his fingers on the mans throat and pull him into hiss knee, leave a red patch on Hawkeswill trousers.
" Dam i just got these cleaned." He then felt multiple pains across his back, he put his finger behind his back and pulled out a piece of glass covered in blood.
" Dam why do i bother cleaning my clothes." He muttered to himself. The last man left relaised he was outnumbered.
" You may have beaten us this time, but the Goverment favors us more." He said before unning off, the others limping off following him.
"Sons of beeches." Smethurst muttered.
" Everyone okay?" Sharpe asked.
" Yep, it's just glass." Hawkeswill replied.
" I have a question to ask you all." Sharpe annouced.
" What would that be?" Buckled asked
They stared at each other, deciding bewtween themselves, Buckle nudged Smethurst, Smethurst turned and faced Sharpe.
" We will. Aslong as we get to play with the fun stuff."
" You will." Sharpe smilied.
" When something stirs up, we'll be sent in."
" Ok, we'll we are going now before someone turns up asking why we kicked their butts." Smethurst said.
Sharpe nodded and watched them walk off. Well he thought to himself, he might aswell hit the sack aswell.
He lifted up the papaer that came through the transmittor, he read throug hit quickly and gasped. He picked up the phone andwaited for him to answer.
The phone started ringing, waking up from his sleep, Dave picked up the phone and asnwered it.
" hello ?"
" SIR ! It's the presidents ship" It was taken over by Kharaa lifeforms." The Communications Officer said quickly, not stopping for breath. Dave paused taking this it all on slwoly, hoping to wake up to find it was all a dream.
" Ok son, thank you." Dave replied and hung up the phone, he lit his pipe and dialed into his phone.
Sharpe got into his room to hear the phone ringing, was this about the fight in the bar he thought ? Well only one way to find out. He picked up the phone and answered it.
" Hello ?"
" Sharpe ! You better have that elite team ready. This just came up, the Presidents ship just got overruned by Kharaa. I want you to get that team ready and leave out on drop ship 21. You'll find equipment and maps on the ship.Good luck." With that Dave hung up. Dam, can't i get some sleep, Sharpe thought ? he jogged out his room down to the troops quater to alert his new team.
" Well Well." Jim said as he layed down his headphones.
" Tapping Daves phone was a smart move after all." He patted Hawks on the back as he told his troops in the room behind them.
" Men i just did some eavesdropping on are TSA friends and it turns out that the President is in a spot of trouble with some Kharaa, if we can rescue the president and kill the Kharaa the TSA are done for." He turned his back and starting walked off, but he turned round to face them again.
" Oh and do something about those bruises. The ship is waiting for us, gear up and move out."
" I'm coming hold on." Called Buckle from the bathroom. They were all waiting in their armour, Sharpe still pulling his, he opened his locker to put away his clothes when his mobile started ringing, he picked it up.
" Hello."
"Hey, how you doing ?" Evans voice came.
" I'm fine, how are things between you and Jenny, going to propose ?" He asked.
" Yep, going to take her to the park and propose there. Anyway will you be home for your birthday ?" EVans replied.
" Yeah i should be." He hope he could anyway.
" Ok i'll tell your parents. See you soon" Evans hung up.
Sharpe put his mobile away and closed his locker, Buckle came out of the room.
" Ok let's go." They all headed for the launch area.
" Seems we have company." Parker said, as he gestured toward the opposite side of the room.
" Where they off to ?" Derag asked. As the memebers of the Lunar Black 5 were loading missiles onto the wings of their ship,before boarding it, except one who was standing outside it holding a sniper rifle.
" How come they are allowe d missiles and we aren't ?" Derag asked again.
" They are founded that's why, besides it's not like wefind floating around in space." Parker replied as they all got on board.
Hawks waited for them to board the ship, before attaching a silencer to his sniper rifle and aimed at the chaff box on the TSA ship, he fired at it, breaking the hatch, causing the chaff to fall out, as the ship took off, leaving the hanger , leaving chaff debris behind it. He smilied and boarded his ship.
" Did you do it ?" Jim asked.
" Do i ever miss ?" Hawks replied as he went into the cockpit and started up the ships engines.
" We are being followed." Derag called as he stared at the radar showing a red blip approaching them, Sharpe got up and looked at the radar.
"Seems are Lunar friends are following us." Sharpe said.
" Should i fire yet sir ?" Hawks asked Jim.
" How close are we to the Galio ?" Jim asked.
" 20 Kilometers." Hawks replied.
" No, the sesnors will pick us, fire at 35 kilmometers." Jim said as he walked off into his chair.
" What the heck ?!" Derag said to himself.
" HOLD ON TIGHT, THEY FIRED A MISSILE AT US !" Derag shouted at the others, Sharpe jumped into the chair beside Derag.
" Can you deploy some chaff ?" Aksed Sharpe. Derag nodded and pressed a button named " CHAFF", he waited then pressed it again.
" What the heck ?" Derag said.
" What is it ?" Sharpe asked.
" Theres no chaff!" Derag said.
" Missile incoming, impact in 30 seconds, HOLD TIGHT EVERYONE." Derag said as he pulled his seat belt tight.
Sharpe watched the impact timer go down, 10 seconds left,5 seconds. He closed his eyes and waited.
The missiles head broke off firing 12 smaller missiles into their engine, ripping it off, the ship swirlled violently.
" Left engine offline, minor damage to the hull apart from that, we are okay, but." Derag stopped as the Lunar black 5 ship flew past.
" They'll get their before us."
" How long till we get their ?" Sharpe asked.
" 4 hours maybe more." Derag replied.
Sharpe stared at the ship as it flew off, you A-Holes he said to himself.
" Nice Shot Hawks." Jim complimented.
" Thank you Sir, we will arrive in 2 hours." Hawks replied.
Jim leaned back in his, perfect, the TSA are done for.
The Lunar Black 5 ship arrived in the hanger. Jim switched on his computer showing a map on his large screen of the 3 levels on the ship.
" Guys set up the radar and i'll find those hives." Jim said as his troops disembarked the ship, while two of them loaded of creates containg explosive and the portable cannons. They unloaded the create containing the radar and setted it up, once it was setted it was around 3 meters tall. Jim started it up and started pinging.
" Everyone is on guard duty until i've finished pinging."
"Well the fuel from the broken engine has been redirected so we are at normalspeed and i'm trying to get a boost it'll take a few seconds." Derag said as he pulled out some burnt chip boards and replaced them, before screwing back on the covering and sitting down in his chair.
" Ok activating boost." The ship didn't act at first, but it started humming then the hummign grew louder as a strong vibration was felt through out the ship.
" The ship is in range." Derag annouced.
" Crap in a bucket." One of the men said as he looked out into space. They turned to look at the object he was looking at. A craft was quickly approaching them.
" SIR THE TSA ARE HERE !" Hawks shouted. Jim ran out of the ship and looked at the craft. He cursed under his breath.
" Everyone load up, i only found one hive, it's on the 1st level the President is also on the 2nd level, we'll get the hive 1st then the president ." Jim walked back into his ship and watched the blips representing his men, move along the corridors.
The docking doors opened as the TSA shuttle entered the bay, the doors closed behind them. The landing ramp lowered down and they all exited the ship.
" Ok first thing to do is get the President then get the hell outta here. In emergency situations the President will be hiding in a secret area within his office, hopefully we can get to him before the Kharaa or Lunar Black 5 can, Now lets Move out."
The ship looked small on the outside though it was huge on the inside. It's shame what happened here, Sharpe thought the ship was once beautiful, now it was mess, walls burnt, decapitated bodies lay across the hallway. They carryed on walking but stopped when Buckle found two Fades bodies.
" They look so peaceful when their dead." He said poking the bodies with his HMG."
" Shame they aren't all dead." Smethurst replied. Parker bent down to look at them, he stared at them for a few seconds then gasped and stood drawing his gun.
" What's wrong man, their dead." Hudleston asked.
" Do you see any bullet holes ?" Parker said as he started firing. The Fades all of a sudden disappeared, Parker stopped firing and everyone looked round, holding their guns up. Everything was quiet, a tapping of water landing on the floor could be heard, minutes passed without anyone seeing the Fades.
" Let's move on." Sharpe whispered as they sneaked along slowly, everyone keeping a eye out for the fade, they arrived at the emegency hatch that would lead to the 3rd level where the Presidents office was, they unscrewed the covering and and climbed down.
Jim was starring at the screen when he saw 2 red blips behind his men.
" You have hostiles comming from behind you Beta squad take your left and flank them Alpha, charlie, Hawk and leader gold you lot stay where you are."
"Roger that. Beta squad moving out to flanking position." As two men took the corridor that would flank the Fades. The others crouched down and aimed behind them, suddenly the Fades appeared out of nowhere they were slighty suprised by the sudden appearance of the Fades but their training kicked in and they started firing at them. The Fades fired back with a volley of acid rockets, they stopped firing and ducked. The men from Beta squad peaked round the corner and saw the Fades, they sneaked up and pulled out their semi-automatic shotguns, they aimed for the nearest Fade and fired, the guns may cost £1000 to make but the recoil on them was very strong, the guns went pointing up in moments, hitting the Fade in the head on the way, sending it to the floor, the other ignored the bullets that impacted on it, it healed the bullets instantly the moment they touched.
A man from Alpha squad took a hit from the acid rocket and was knocked over, he quickly ripped of his combat vest as it detirreated in his hands. Hawks crocuhed behind a table and took out his sniper rifle, he inserted a bullet with 10 spikes on the tip of it, into his sniper rifle, he rose from his cover and aimed at the Fades acid firer, he fired the bullet into the "Flower" at first the Fades stopped firing relaising something wasn't right, he then started trying to claw his back, while roaring in pain, then wit ha loud bang, the acid vien running to his "Flower" exploded, he fell to ground, while a pool of green blood slowly appeared round him.
" Everyone okay ?" Jim asked. The squad leader look round at his troops then replied that they were all okay.
" Ok men there is only one Hive to take out, Charlie team you will have to make do with the Rocket launchers, mobile cannons are to risky. The Hive is on level one in the central war command room, if you blow anything up expect America to receive some nasty Nukes launched at her."
" Roger that sir." The team leader said.
"It's just down here according to this." Hudleston said, as he studdied digatal map of the ship, he packed it away and walked with the others to the President office.
"He better be in or i am gonna be pi-" Buckle was cut off as a Onos appeared out of no where, he stomped the ground, knocking them over and shattering the wall behind them before dislaocting it's jaw and swallowed Buckle in, he tryed to pull his knife out but dropped it as it got caught on it's teeth.
" KILL IT QUICK BEFORE HE'S FULLY DIGESTED !!" Sharpe shouted as he started firing at, the bullets either bounced of the carapace armour or sunk into the Onos doing little effect, the onos ignoring the bullets turned round and galloped to end of the corridor. It turned round and faced them, it lowered it's head and started charging towards them.
" IT'S GONNA SQUASH US !!!" Parker shouted.
" AIM FOR THE LEGS !!!" Hawkeswill shouted, he reloaded his HMG and started firing at the Onos leg, the leg unlike the head, was less protected, the bullets started wearing away at the flesh before hitting the bone and shattering, the Onos roared in pain and fell over, skidding towards them, they started running from it, before it came to a halt, having a clear shot of it's throat they fired at the creatures throat finishing off the large creature. Smethurst dropped his Rifle and pulled out his knife and started slicing open the Onos, a hand shot out of it's stomach and out came Buckle with only minor scratches.
" Holy cow, i hate these guys." Buckle sniffed his arm and pulled a disgusted face.
" Man i smell, we better get a good reward for this." They all laughed and walked into the Presidents office.
" Hello ? Anyone in ?" Derag asked.
I'll post a update soon, i'm getting a super mega story in my head so i'm taking time to develop it.
I can hardly wait till the next chapter comes.
" So what do we do now ?" Buckle asked, he spotted a a glass of water on the table and walked towards it, the floor below him gave way and he fell through into the hidden room below.
" This isn't my day." He muttered to himself.
" It's not mine either." Came a voice behind him, Buckle turned round and saw a man sitting in the corner of the hidden room.
" Hello Sir." Sharpe said as they all saluted.
" No sirring or saluting, just get us the hell outta here." The President ordered, as he climbed out the hidden room, Buckle rose up but fell over.
" GODDAMIT MY LEGS GONE !" He cursed. Smethurst jumped into the hidden room and studdied Buckles leg.
" You clumsy fool you broke it." Smethurst said as he helped Buckle up, then helped him out as Ventura and Hawkeswill pulled him up.
" Back to the ship now." Sharpe ordered.
There working, oh ? what was this? Jim looked closer at his lap top screen showing camera 343 field of view, he saw a bunch of men, one them lipping being supported by 2 others and a stranger, he zoomed in, dam they beated him to it, the TSA had the President.
" All teams to sector 5D of level 2 NOW ON THE DOUBLE, THE TSA HAVE THE PRESIDENT, ambush them at these cooridantes." He selected his men and gave them the waypoint."
" ARGH ! Anyone got a med kit or something ?" Buckle said as he slumped to the ground.
" Your too heavy man, lose some weight." Smethurst smirked.
" F U man, F U." Buckle replied as he thrumped
" Sir theres a med kit on the ship." Parker said to Sharpe, Sharpe thought for a second.
" Parker and Derag, take the President to the ship, then set up some Turrets then come back for us with some medkits." Sharpe ordered.
They nodded and walked of fast, the President jogging behind them.
" Up you get big boy." Smethurst teased, as they pulled Buckle up and walked after Derag and Parker more slowly.
The way point was nearby luckily enough, so they had more time to hide.
They heard the sound of people approaching, Hawks hiding in a dark spot aimed down his scope and saw 2 men wearing armour and a civilian heading towards them, he aimed for the man on the left and counted.

read the story, good times to say the very least
What is taking u soo long?
" Sir please come with me, these men that where with you are terroists." He explained, but the President didn't reply, the men from Alpha squad grabbed his arms and walked off back to their ship.
" God sake, you better buy us beers when we get back." Huldeston grunted as he helped Buckle along.
" Yeah i will." Buckle replied, they walked past two bodies in the hall way, as they passed the bodies, Ventura stopped and looked them then called for Sharpe.
" Sir, Derag and Parker are down." Sharpe turned round puzzled, then came closer to look at the bodies.
" OH crap." Sharpe muttered to himself, then he noticed the bullet wounds.
" No way, those A holes."
" What ?" Buckle asked.
" They killed them for the President." Ventura replied.
" Let's get him back then, the probably took him to thier ship." Smethurst said, Sharpe thought for abit, then replied.
" Ok let's get him back, first we'll take them three back." Hawkeswill picked up Derag while Ventura picked up Parker and they headed of to thier ship.
Jim got out of his seat and exited the ship.
" Ah Mr.President very nice to see you so well." Jim welcomed the President, who was slightly shocked and dazed by what was going on.
" Ah Mr.Davis nice to see a familiar face round here." The President replied, calming down knowing he knew someone here.
" Please do come aboard, you lot, go back to the Hive and take it out." Jim ordered, they nodded and headed out.
Man camping does make you tired, sorry it isn't a HUGE update but i'm too tired plus i got a brilliant idea of a story.
" Like i could go anywhere with this busted leg." He grumbled back. Hudleston pulled out two body bags where they placed Derag and Parker into them, they saluted and remained silent for 2 minutes. SHarpe looked up then broke the silence.
" Ok let's go." They all left heading for the cargo bay on the other side of the ship, Ventura went into their ship and pulled out a black bag, which he concealed from Buckle, he patted him on the back and took a GL with him and ran to catch up with the others.
" How far are we from the Hive ?" A man from Charlie squad asked.
" About 343 meters, why those RPG's to heavy ?" The squad leader replied, th man from Charlie squad shook his head and carryed on, brushing vines out of his way as the area became more infected.
" I'm telling you something is following us." Hudleston said as he looked round his shoulder again.
" It's just your imagination." Sharpe replied.
" Yeah well those 2 metal boxes don't just fall over, like it did just back in those last 4 rooms." He said back to Sharpe.
" Fine we'll stop and let what evers following us come out so we'll blast it and stop it from scarring you." Smethurst said as he sat down on a metal pole. They all stopped and sat down listening for any noises. All was silent until the air around them felt different.
" Sssh listen, it sounds like wings." Hawkeswill said quielty as they all listened. Then from the shadows behinds them a fleet of Lerks flew above them. They didn't move or reacted in anyway, taken by suprise they sat their expecting to be torn apart but the Lerks ignored them and flew off down the corridor.
Moments passed before someone spoke.
" What the hell just happened ?" Smethurst asked, his face pale like everyone elses except Ventura and Hawkeswill who acted like nothing important happened.
" Must be a miracle, told you something was following us, just a whole lot of things...." Hudleston replied.
They carryed on going passing the corridors, until they finally reached the bay perimeter.
" Dam the door is locked their is a shut down nearby though to the left of us." Smethurst said as he typed on the computer.
They headed of to their left, they opened the door to reveal a room with shelves holding cleaning fluids in their.
" Well it's in the direction." Smethurst said, he stepped into the room in seconds a creaking noise sounded below him and he fell though the floor.
" They don't build floors like they use to." Sharpe said to them as he climbed down into the room below them. It was highly infected, water flooded the floor up to their ankles, bodys lying in the water, red and green blood smeared on the super computers, mist blocked their view, a waterfall could be heard of in the distant, probably caused by a burst water pipe.
" Lucky Buckle, i'm gonna drink until hes broke at this rate." Smethurst said as he untangled himself from some roots.
" Well this is the right room i guess." Smethurst said as they all setted off into the mist.
" Ok ready."
"Charlie take the Ladder onto the rafters. Beta take the flooring and sneak under it, fire the glowers into it and take cover, alpha gun them down, Hawk take the first shot and we'll commence." The Lunar Black5 team leader annouced. They nodded and went their different ways.
The 2 men from Beta squad yanked up the floor grate and crawled into and started crawling to the hive. The 2 from Alpha squad climbed up a hill made of becterium over looking the Hive and the Kharaa below, they counted 3 Gorges, 2 Skulks, 2 Fades and a Onos, they loaded the armour peircing bullets into their rifles and waited, the 2 men from Charlie squad loaded the cluster payload rockets into their RPG's and aimed at the Hive, Hawk found a cosy little nest, which he hid under and pulled out his sniper rifle, he took careful aim and loaded in a Bullet that was long and stubby and aimed for the Onos.
More tomorrow.
" Nice job guys, come back to the ship and let's get out of here." Jim said in his head set. He turned and faced the President.
" Don't worry sir we will be leaving in about a hour."
The President smiliedand nodded and replied.
" You'll be greatley rewarded for this Jim" Jim smilied a evil look looming over his face.
" Ok this looks like it, see it's still on, we just blow it and the door opens." Smethurst explained.
" It's bullet proof." Ventura murmered to himself, Smethurst raised his HMG and fired at the metal box, the bullets bounced back.
" It's bullet proof." Smethurst said.
" It says we turn it of at this terminal." Hudleston said as he typed on a keyboard with a screen showing the power levels.
" Hmmm we gotta turn on the 4th power box." Hudleston explained as he looked around.
" So we turn the power on and we can shut it down ?" Sharpe asked. Hudleston nodded.
Smethurst started walking slowly towards the leaking pipe makign a waterfall.
" Where you going ?" Sharpe asked. Smethurst raised his hand and slowly crept forward, he stopped by the waterfall then leapt forward, they heard a squeal and Smethurst came out holding a Gorge.
" Erm right." Sharpe said.
" AWWWW whosa cutie pie ?" Smethurst said to the Gorge, who had stop struggling and acted dead.
" Father like son." Ventura said.
" I hope you don't plan on taking that home with us?" Ventura continued.
" My son always wanted one." Smethurst replied.
They glanced at each other deciding what to say.
" Lets just get this power on okay ?"Hudleston said.
" This is the 4th powerbox." Hawkeswill said as he studdied the box.
" The cable is cut out though."
" Did gorgy worgy cut the powery wey ?" Smethurst asked the Gorge as he hugged it tightly.
" Your a freak man." Hudleston joked, Smethurst smilied and stuck his finger up at Hudleston.
" Well theres gotta be some sort of conductor round here." Sharpe said. He took a deep breath and carryed on.
" Have a look around guys."
*Later*
" Nothing sir." Hawkeswill said. Smethurst sat there watching them, laughing at them.
" What's so funny ? you didn't find anything you didn't even BOTHER LOOKING !" Hudleston growled.
" Because the cable is in water, this place is filling up with water." Smethurst replied, stroking the sleeping Gorge. They looked at the cable which was in water.
" Ok everyone out i'll turn it on, you have 2 minutes to get out." Sharpe said they nodded and walked off, Sharpe tunred and counted in his head.
He reached two minutes and pulled the lever then jumped across and disabled the docking bay doors. He turned to figure how to jump out without touching the water, he planned his route and jumped.
" Yep they are open." Hudleston said.
" I'll go." Ventura volenteered. They glanced at each other.
" Okay you go." Smethurst said.
Ventura opened the door and saw the ship, he sneaked up to it and peered inside, he saw Jim busy with the computers, the President starring at the floor. He looked around and picked up a screw, he threw it and hoped. The President heard the noise and looked outside, curious he went out, Jim not paying any attention. He looked round then felt someone grab his mouth and pulled them close to them.
" It's okay Mr.President, i'm with the TSA, we are here to get you out of here, please walk out of the hanger to that door where you'll see my team mates." Ventura whispered. The President moved towardsthe exit slowly, while Ventura fumbled around in his bag black, he pulled out two satchel charges and stuck them on the side of the ship, he then sneaked out of the hanger.
" Sharpe back ?" Ventura asked.
" No , Hawkeswill is gonna stay behind and wait for him, we are heading back, he won't bite Sir he's friendly." Smethurst replied as the Presdient stared wide-eyed at the Gorge.
" Ok let's move." Ventura said as they headed towards their ship. hawkeswill stood by the whole and waited.
Sharpe was almost at the end now, the air suddenly got cold, the sound of a hard flapping noise could be head. He drew his HMG out and looked around. The flapping was loud as if right above him. But still he saw nothing. The flapping was loud , then silence fell. Sharpe could hear his heart beating. He knew he must carry, he could see the hole from where he came down from, he jumped onto a little island then onto a another, he climbed on a little mound then pulled himself up out of the hole, he looked roudn and saw hawkeswill in the corner his face white, his eye bleeding, a large scartch in the wall above him.
" What happened ?"
" I saw it." He whispered.
" Saw what ?" Sharpe asked.
" Hard Wind" Hawkeswill relied.
More tomorrow if anyone reads this.
(yes, i did just call you sparky)
" What did it look like?" Sharpe asked.
" Like a Lerk, only larger, more spikes and teeth, huge demon like tail." Hawkeswil rose up.
" I don't wanna stick around let's go."
They hurried off down the hallway.
Ventura hung back from the group, when he was sure theyweren't looking, he opened his black bag and pulled out a detonator, he flicked the switch, then pushed the button.
Jim was sitting in his chair, unable to hear the beeping noise as it grew faster and faster. Then a blinding light and the bombs exploded, the ship was blown in half, the cockpit was hurled into space as the rest of it was in a flamign wreckage, the Lunar Black 5 symbol burning away by the wreck.
Ventura smilied and threw away the detonator, as he jogged to keep up with the others.
" WHAT THE HELL?!" Buckle exclaimed as they walked into the hanger bay.
" You like it ?" Smethurst asked, patting the Gorge.
" You think your son can take care of that ?" Buckle asked back.
" He's 15, he's a big boy now." Smethurst replied as they climbed onto the ship.
" If that thing spits on me i'm gonna waste it." Buckle threatned.
" Almost there!" Sharpe said hurriedly. They froze in fear as a loud shriek filled the air.
" Oh crap , IT'S HARD WIND RUN !!!" Hawkeswill shouted as he ran down the hallway. Sharpe turned round and ran aswell, the air getting cold around them, the beating of wings far off. Sharpe pulled out his pistoland fired behind him without looking, two large spikes flew past them, as the flapping got louder.
" THERE'S THE HANGER !!!" Sharpe shouted as the hanger door was near them. The Flapping was very loud now, they were almost being pushed over by the flapping of the wings. Sharpe leapt throw the hanger door bay as he punched the close button behind as he went past it, Hawkeswill landed on top of him, but got up and ran onto the the ship, Sharpe following.
" GET US OUT OF HERE !" Sharpe said, as the door closed behind him, the hanger door breaking as something large was hitting it, Buckle nodded and fired up the engines, they were thrown backwards and the ship left the vessel.
" That was close." Sharpe said.
" What was it?" Hudleston asked.
" I dunno, it was big though." Sharpe replied.
" It was hard wind !" Hawkeswill protested.
" Guys look at this!." Buckle called, they looked out the window and saw the cockpit of the lunar black 5 ship.
" Kharaa ?" Buckle said.
" They aren't that strong, looks like a explosion." Sharpe statemented. As the cockpit went out of their view.
<b>Prolouge</b>
They made it safely back, Hawkeswill eye was patched. The Goverment founded both TSA and Lunar black 5. The death of Jim was never found out. The Lunar Black 5 troops were picked up by a salvage ship, which salavaged parts of this ship, these parts were used to make Space vessel 343. Evans didn't manage to propose to Jenny, as she was murdered. Tomas Harper took control of Lunar Black 5, romours though say he payed the Goverment lots of money.
