[Kursed]

Kursed don't tell me your joining this too?

No not really.

[The Shaper]

No not really.

Well that was a bit of a late response. Besides I meant that you were going to try and win here.

[Kursed]

Yes.

perhaps if you don't blow my secret.

[The Shaper]

perhaps if you don't blow my secret.

The secret everyone already knew. Sorry for blowing your cover.

[Kursed]

It's  pretty clear mr. Aura (Ludicario) didn't know.

I have no idea how to properly respond to that so I'm just going to do this:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*BOOM*

Firing those guns is so fun! Especially if you hit something. Of course I'm mostly field artillery. You know, while your on the front lines I'm back there loading the big ass gun up then blasting a large shell straight through the air. And the impact is interesting as well.

Nice! I was Field Artillery back in the Corps. What type of gun you fire?

[The Shaper]

So far we've only gotten to shoot the 105mm Howitzer C3. OF course there is probably a brighter future ahead.

The predator writhed in agony as his chest came apart at the seems. Out of his bod erupted a lovecraftian horror only few had faced before. A predalien. Squeeking loudly, it dove away from the body and slithered through the sand, hopeing to get away from the human and pokemon

[The Shaper]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *BOOM*

[Vulvokunvrii]

Stacker and Butch krept closer and thats when the Predator looked directly in their direction, but the look wasn't hostile; it was almost as if it wanted to warn them, but to was hard to tell.

Butch rasied his rifle to put the creature out of it's misery, but Stacker Put a paw on the gun and forced it down.

The Marine looked at him with puzzlement, That is not necessary, look....

Both Lucario and Butch watched as the Predator looked away from them and stared at the stars....then it's body started to jerk more sporadically, and then, in a spray of green blood; a little wrom like creature sprouted like a dandy lion from the muscular chest.

It looked at the two Marines and they gawked at it the same, it screeched and slithered away with all due haste; Butch shot after it, but to no avail.

"W-what was that...?!" Butch spat looking from the corspe and back to the jungle where the thing slithered off to.

I-im not certain.... the Pokemon said as it slowly walked over to the body.

Whatever it was, it burst straight through the Predator's chest cavity...with emence force. that could not be good......

[ballisticwaffles]

Digging their little hearts out, the drones worked with a self destructive pace, diggin ou ttheir new home. The queens chamber was filled with Only the queen, Red, and Spikeys cocoon. Nothing else around her to protect her, the queem began to laugh, deep rolling waves of hysteria rolling off of her. It took great effort not to disrupt the drones work as she explained to her pratorians. "Your knew sister has awoken." Shrugging anfter the queens cryptic message, red returned to her perch, watching over the hive like a hawk.

The predalien sped form the beach, heading towards its beacon of hope, its lighthouse in the dark, its astronomicon. The queen. Any chestburster away from, the hive could be easily killed. It was almost the first thing Chestbursters did once out of the hosts body to prevent the burster from going mad. This hybrid was no diffrent and continued at a fairly quick pace for its mother.

[The Shaper]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *BOOM*

[StarFoxfan-FUR_ever]

hi

[The Shaper]

hi

Please leave I'm in the middle of a critical test.

[ballisticwaffles]

dont listen to him

[StarFoxfan-FUR_ever]

ok....I wont....as usual

[The Shaper]

Then I won't listen to you guys either. *Puts on headphones*

[Vulvokunvrii]

Jst then, Lucario's radio sounded off and he clicked it, "hunf!" he responded but went wide eyed' he'd almost forgotten he couldnt speak outloud!

He looked at Butch who responded instead, "This Butch, we read you, over."

"Good to see you two alive,we thought we'd lost you...." Jack replied.

"Yeah....hey listen, could you come and pick us up? We cant walk aimlessly in this jungle forever..." Butch jokingly said.

"Roger that, there's a small old abandoned comm relay a few click east of you; I think wayland yutani might have had a facility here once...reach it, and we can pick you up!"

Butch and Lucario sighed in relief, "Roger, we're on our way, over!"

The Two men headed out towards the relay's location marked on the tracker by the Dropship. suddenly, the two stopped and hear something odd: sounds of gunshots and screams ahead of them somewhere.

The two loked at eachother and dashed towards the sounds, someone was in trouble......

[ballisticwaffles]

Of coarse the Xeno's had somethign to do with it.

On a scouting missioin to look for food, the xeno's had come across a party of humans looking for the wreckage. Setting them selves after the humans, the xeno's were fully prepaired to kill every singel human. the last few were huddled in a corner, fearfully pumping rounds into the jungle, where the thick foliage provided enough cover to simply waste the humans ammunition. however the xenomorphs had not the time to wait for the ammo to be spent, so the scaveneged from one of the dead bodies. When the familiar sight of a grenade came up, one xeno gladly was ready to sacrifice its self for the hive.

A grenade in one hand, the other tugging at the pin, the xeno darted forward inot the overwhelming fire. Almost evaporating, the xeno pulled the pin at the last second, Exploding and covering one human with acid, killing anohter outright. The two remiaing humans were so shell shocked that dispatching them was easy as pie.

Hoisting as much meat as they could carry, one xeno holding as many grenades as it could carry, the set from the danger zone, fleeing back to the hive.

[The Shaper]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *BOOM*

[Vulvokunvrii]

The duo fgot closer, and thats when the gunfire and explosions ceased; not a good sign....

They krept through the foliage; there was zero movement on the motion tracker, no life signs either.....

the sight they beheld was this: Blood and shrapnel soaked bushed and trees, and Marines-or what had been marines-scattered all ove the place. Lucario bent down to examine the carnage while Butch had to excuse himslef and hurl out his guts. He tried to sense who they were, but they were so messed up, he couldnt tell who they were anymore.

The Steel-Fighting Jackal clenched a fist,I will find who did this to you, and- he closed his eyes again, and felt a the trickling of a tear slithering it's way down his blue furred face and down to his muzzle. It pained him to have to see his men die; especially whne there was really nothing he could have done to save them.

Butch-after finisheing up with his puking-walked over to his friend and put a hand on the pokemon's shoulder armor (yes he's wearing the Marine armor too) and said," Don't worry man...w-we'll get them back for this...somehow...." he said in an attempt at a reassuring tone.

Lucario looked up and opened his eyes and slowly got up sniffling, Y-yes....i-i know, its just....nevermind....l-lets continue onto the facility so we can get out of here... he decided.

Hours later......

They made it to the relay; it looked like it had seen better days, but it looked functional.

"ok, ill start a bypass and triangulate our location to the dropship; give me some cover huh?" Butch said as he pulled his hacking tool out, pushed some buttons, and then inserted it.

The pokemon tunred around and kept a finger on the trigger of the Smartgun; they had run into some old traps set by whoever used to be here, and they had been close to death many times. Something they didnt wish to do again.

"Okay.....there we go, hack complete!" the marine said as he clicked a few buttons and wrenched the device backout and stowed it on his person.

"Contact.....okay....we've got your co-ordinates, stand by!" the pilot said.

Soon, it touched down and they two men eagerly hopped aboard and lifted off.

"Thank goodness That's over...." Butch said, leaning his head back and closing his eyes for a short nap.

Lucario set his smartgun down and cautiously walked up to the cockpit, Are there any more of us...? did anyone else make it out alive?

Jack was too focused so paulson answered fro him, "uhm...yeah, we had some blokes with us, we left them behind at what we did try to make a base camp out of; another dropship made it down to our landing beacon, and hours later we starte to look for you."

Before the Co-pilot looked back at his moniter he added, "A squad of Marines was out looking for you....so far we avent been able to make contact...."

The pokemon winced an said, They are dead.....

"What?! how?!" the Co-pilot exclaimed wit hamazment.

It is possible the xenomorphs got them before we could get to them. he replied, the nexplained what he and Butch had seen.....

[ballisticwaffles]

In the few hours of day light left, many things had been acomplished.

THe xenomorphs bringing food and grenades were hailed as heros and allowed five minutes extra time to eat before being sent out again.

Red was poking and prodding the grenades throwing them like she had seen the humans do but dissapointed when nothing happened

Spikey's cocoon grew like a parasite, attaching to the wall and growing past the point of no return. Inside the cocoon, he grew and grew, something nightmareish beyond all belief growing.

and the queen plotted, her mind awash with thousands of plots, all guarenteed to kill. None of which involing any cease.

It was total war.

(w-wait....a few posts ago, you said it was nightfall....)

later, the droship made it to the "base".

It extended it's landing gear and the boarding ramp opened as the daunted-meaning tired and mabye a littel battle weary- two men and pilots walked out of the transport.

There were automated Sentry's sweeping the area around the "landing pad"-some looked like they'd been here forever- Jack walked up to a door, and pressed a button to talk into a microphone, "Hey, its me Jack, open up!"

Minutes passed and then a response, "Password?"  as unfamiliarvoice queried.

"Im not even gonna tell you to shut-up!" the pilot answered.

Seconds later, the door opened, "Hurry inside, and lock the droships down; wouldn want anything to get inside it."

The pilot did jus that, an then the group hurried through the door, whcih locked down behind them.

Two marines immediatly stood down for a momnet and one said," Welcome to base camp you two; heard you had quite the part back there, hurry up to Ops, someone would like to see you." the Marine indicated with a thumb behind him.

The group squeezed past the Marine Sentry gun in the middle of the coooridor, and continued on. Soon they made it to Ops, where a few more Marines were sanding around keeping watch and talking.

one turned and jogged over to them, "h-hey! glad you guys made it! Andrew, Andrew Harrison!" he said offering his hand.

Lucario loked at it and then offered his and the two shook.

Good to see you men alive! the pokemon said, and he ment it.

"Yeah, for a second, ithough ti was just us and the dropship!" Butch remarked.

So...what's the...."news" ? he asked the marine called harrison.

"Oh...well its a longs story...."

Later.....

A hostile ship came out of nowwhere, jammed communication with us, destroyed the Marlowe, whic hinadvertantly crashed the silencer & onto this planet, and not everyone made it....

"yeah, that about sums it up; only Me, Duke, Kaneko, Moss, Franco, and Abby survived-those were just the Marines-, and until recently, you two (and the pilots )."

Duke walked over, "Uhh Frosty, we cant get into contact with the guys we sent into the jungle..." ; he looked over and saw the steel-fighting jackal slump his head.

"That bad huh? greeeeat.....just us 8 and some pilots against the bugs...and i dont even want to think about those hostiles who sunk the Marlowe..." Duke continued.

"Well, its not a total loss: We've maanged to track a large fragment of the Marlowe a it went down; mabye we should try to salvage waht we cn from the wreckage...mabye even be lucky enough to find the longrange scanner and contact home too!" a pilot said.

Yes, i agree; we may find useful suplies and equipment from the site. Lucario said, nodding.

"Sounds good, we can try ti tomorrow, as for now i could use some sleep." Butch butted in.

Kankeo walked up, "Yes, i belive we all could use some sleep....after these turn of events..."

Harrison nodded in agreemnet, And mabye, just mabye....we could find my "baby" too.... (if you are wonder who Frosty's "baby" is, its here at the bottom of the page of the link ill send:http://www.planetavp.com/avp2/species/colonialmarine/playerclasses.shtml look at the bottom of the page at the exo-suit)

[FoxMcCloud]

Meanwhile the Kestrel Fleet that was on Geosynchronous orbit on the other side of the planet, came around, and saw that the USS Marlowe was missing from Orbit.

"Admiral the ship we encountered has disappeared, sensors indicate that it went planet-side."

"what the --"

"Sir" as the Admiral was interrupted "Sensors are reading massive fighting, or there was.... Also sensors have picked up the Marlowe, she does not look good"

"Send some rescue and medic teams down, Ill be in my ready room" The Admiral said rubbing his temples and heading into his ready room for the day
