[b][i]If Only There Was More Time...[/i][/b]
[b]It was a cold night for the dojo, what made it worse was the downpour of rain that seemed to go on forever. But, Jackal still stood outside, sitting down on the wall far from the more populated parts of the dojo. Something bothering his mind, rather, it was still the day he lost the only people he could ever call friends.
Jackal's AI, stood silent. The small green form took that of a humans, and looked the same as Jackal. The small figure just sat in silence as the rain poured down. The only thing seen was the slight blue glow of Jackal's helmet, and the green of his AI.
While sitting, Jackal grunted, really that was his only way to communicate for the moment. His throat being shot while in combat a long time ago, taking his ability to speak. His AI would do most of the talking, if he were to communicate. Jackal had his AI project a small screen, what seemed to be a recording, the record of what happened to Jackal's friends.
The video of his helmet camera showed him and his four friends, Davids, Rhodes, Ryann, and Carter. All five of them gathered on a small cargo ship, flying over an unknown city. Their orders were to simply drive their tank and clear a path. It wasn't anything new, just the same old stuff. They all laughed and joked about the war, thinking everything would go smoothly.
Once the ship landed, they quickly entered the tank, the door swung open and they began to drive through the destroyed city. They lead the convoy of tanks as they patrolled the quiet streets. They all were bored, no fighting, no nothing. Until, something went wrong. The sound of the tank breaking was heard.[/b]
"Hey, Marius, fix the damn tank."
[i]"Got it."[/i]
[b]The voice was Jackal's, he quickly stepped out, and began to inspect the problems with it. He finally saw the problem, something had damaged the fuel line. He turned to see if he was clear, when he noticed two friendly tanks aiming at him and his squad's tank. When he realized it was a set-up.[/b]
[i]"Everyone out of the tank now, it's gonna expl-!"[/i]
[b]The shots rang out. The tank is blown up, and lit on fire. Jackal struggles to stand up, he notices two friendlies approaching him, but not to help. He tries to pick up his rifle to return fire, but they are quick to shoot. Jackal is hit, he falls to the ground, shot in the throat. [/b]
[b]"Just leave him to die. We've already gotten his friends and he'll bleed out soon enough, lets get out of here before we're caught."[/b]
[b]The rest of Jackal's camera feed sees the soldiers leaving. It isn't for a long time until medics finally arrive to help Jackal up, the final footage is of the destroyed tank, burnt away. Then the feed is cut to static.
Jackal remains sitting in the rain. He shuts off the record, and looks down at the helmet he recovered from the wreckage. It seemed to have survived the flames, the visor was cracked and the metal burnt black. Jackal then sat in the rain silent, thinking of his friends.[/b]

"Alright then im gonna hide "says Sylvie [i]she leaves without much of arguement hiding god knows where. but sure enough somewhere else on some unknown screen a blip disappears and they now coming. Sylvie chose to hide in the thickest grove trees she could find not returning home just incase. She made them grow in such a way that she could be spotted from the air hiding in the branches of the trees hoping she would be safe there.[/i]
-
[b]Jackal begins to set charges near the lab. He hides them under sticks and branches to hide the red light projecting from them. He then takes cover near the lab with his sniper rifle waiting to see what will happen.[/b]
-
[i]after what seems like a few hours a low sound of footsteps can be a heard crunching through the undergrowth towards them followed by quiet voices. "We need to find her.."say a gruff voice "I know so spread out"says a female's voice[/i]
-
[b]Jackal spots them, he doesn't open fire on them, but waits to see what they try to do.[/b]
-
[i]they both seemed to be wearing lab coats as a couple others seem to fan out looking for any sign of her. One of them clearly had a tranquilizer gun slung over his shoulder this wasn't a good sign.[/i]
-
[b]Jackal takes aim at the one with the gun. Once he has a clear shot, he takes it, aiming for the head.[/b]

[i]the woman screams when the man is killed in front of her. She back the way she came clearly not wanting to die.[/i]
-
[b]Jackal at the person running, but ains for the leg this time when he pulls the trigger.[/b]
-
[i]the woman falls over with a frightened cry. She hit the ground with a thud a proceeded to try and drag herself away. [/i]
-
[b]Jackal picks up his submachine gun and begins to head over to her. He stops her as she is trying to crawl away.[/b] [i]Now hold on just a second. We won't kill you, but you try anything, and you might as well say goodbye to your life. Got it?[/i]
-
[i]The woman is shaking with fear but nods her head. She is very afraid for her life as she looks at them.[/i]
-
[i]Were you the only two sent? If not, how many nore are there? Next, are they tracking your location?[/i]
-
"No im not and yes there but not here there checking out another location the subject visits frequently. Yes i am being tracked by the communication device on my belt"she says [i]she is trembling still but this spells bad news because the other location was Sylvie home which could bad result because her friend mia lived there too and wouldn't know where Sylvie is.[/i] "There's four guys armed with tranquilizer guns heading there now."she warned

Edited by Jäger: 5/14/2017 12:22:27 AM[i]Got it. Now, as we said, we won't kill you. But we are going to have to knock you unconscious for the time being.[/i] [b]Jackal hits her with the stock of his gun. He quickly drags her over to the lab, puts a bandage on her wound, and locks her away in one of the rooms.[/b] [i]We need to find out where they are going, lets go find Sylvie.[/i]
-
[i]Sylvie is still hiding in the trees not willing to out hiding. She is scared though cause it been a while before she heard anything as she looks down at the ground. But because she is always barefoot she left a actual trail leading to where she was but it was a faint one.[/i]
-
[b]Jackal starts to track the trail, and finds the general area of her.[/b] [i]Hey! It's us! We took care of the two guys but there are four more and we think they nay be headed for you house. We need you to show us where it is and we can take care of them.[/i]

"Well shit that's not good"says Sylvie [i]she climbed down from the tree she was in.[/i] "They have there hands full with her and her many spiders not to mention her mother too but lets hurry just the same"says Sylvie [i]she starts heading towards her house. They don't make very far from her house before they hear screaming.[/i]

Clearly is concerned where Sylvie was. Sylvie sees Mia's mother when they get closer.[/i] "You can't hurt that woman that's mia mother"says Sylvie

[i]the woman looks over at him and calms down when she sees Sylvie but she doesn't let the man up. The man is continuing to struggle but to no success. [/i] "Who are these guys and the others are inside paralyzed from the waist down but mia got shot and isn't waking up at the moment please help my daughter human"she says pleading [i]Sylvie ran into the house to help mia. She is staring at the man with pleading eyes.[/i]
