Rise of The Shadow Wolf Knight: Chapter 1
Chapter 1The Start of a New
Beginning "Beep,
beep, beep!!!!!" The alarms sounded inside of his suit as I turned my head just
in time to see the missile streaking towards me as I was running across the
way, towards the next hunk of cover to try and pull back. As I raised my arm by
instinct, I heard the blast and my screens went black as the blast engulfed me. "Shit,
damage report Kitty!" I asked wondering why I wasn't feeling any impact from
the blast. Had it landed short, blown up prematurely, I don't know all that I
do know is that I was still alive and standing I just couldn't figure out why I
wasn't feeling any pain and was still alive. While waiting for Kitty to respond the suit
slowly started powering down fully. It had started with the screen and now was
slowly starting to spread to the point my suit had no power. As
seconds seemed like minutes, I waited and waited till finally I heard a beep as
things started powering back up. "Systems reporting normal, an unknown glitch
forced emergency restart and restore of system protocols to prior combat
status, due to possible position in conflict zones all restrictions have been
removed. I am Kitty nice to see you again Darelan." Blinking
a little, I didn't know what was going on the last I knew I was nearly blown up
and now I am surrounded by some weird looking race. "Kitty what's the GPS and
combat report, and while you're at it get my visuals back online its pitch
black in here." As I started testing the joints to see if everything was back
online, Kitty had quickly responded."Error unable to connect to satellite,
connection unavailable, internal files read impossible for last known position
and time. Uplink module is reading perfect condition. Fix unknown system,
visual systems will be coming online in ten seconds."As the gears, joints, and
circuits sounded off from powering up, my screen started powering on and that's
when I was met with one hell of a surprise from my viewing screen as it came
back online" We were
surrounded by several hundred men, in the middle of a group of tents, with some
packing armor others cloth like clothing, and every one of them packing a sword
while a few drew back their bows. "Kitty.... Where the fuck are we???" I looked
left and right and all around seeing us surrounded and then towards the horizon
I seen another set of tents off in the distant that seem similar to the ones we
were by only difference was the banners. "I don't know, based on current
weapons and what looks like armor, it looks like we are in some kind of mid
evil era." Look around more and more the idea of escape was becoming less and
less likely. "Darelan from the looks of it a battle maybe breaking out here
soon, there is a line of sword man marching in formation towards this camp with
a line standing to block them. "Recommendations
Kitty?", "Unknown Darelan, at current standings we can easily wipe out one of
the two armies but it will leave us without ammo for the second." Thinking I
was sure what to do nor did I know what each army would do towards us the
current one only seemed to be defensive against us and that's when I noticed a
woman slowly approaching use with a fully prepped escort. "Darelan unknown
target approaching, from bio scanners this one seems to be female." "I know
kitty I'm seeing here now and what is their species? While you are at it review
the statuses of each army." While I watched the new female and the group around
us, Kitty scanned the field constantly and finally started showing me the statics
while reading them out. "Based on first scans the approaching arm appears to be
at least 5000 strong if not more. Currently we are only able to view the
approaching army threw forward sensors. If you like we can launch the drones.
As for the race it's currently unknown. No data can be found in my files about
meeting any kind of race like this." Moments
after Kitty had finally stop talking the female finally stopped at the front of
the line of the soldiers that surrounded us, and began to look us over while
speaking. "Hallo
mein Name ist Katsumi, der Kommandeur des 1. Bataillons
des 7. Legion, Vampir der Nacht, und die Prinzessin von Tod meiner Feinde.
Ich bin der König und Dame der rechten Hand und Verteidiger der Herrlichkeit Reich der Orion. Ich
habe euch hier zusammengerufen,
um meine Armee in der
Verteidigung diese große Nation und
um Sie, um die Annäherung
Armee zerstören helfen.." I continued
to admire her some and her beauty as she spoke not realizing till a few moments
after she started talking that the translator wasn't doing its job. "Kitty is
the translator on and working? All I'm getting is what sounds like gibberish to
me the system is decrypting it." "Sorry Dar the system is having the same issue
with the language barrier as we are with trying to figure out who these people
are. Also the drones are powered up and ready for launch though I recommend we
be care full, our power supply is getting near the danger area. I would
normally say we need to deploy the solar units but it seems we might have to
defend ourselves and until we get back in contact with command it wouldn't be
wise to risk them." "Alright launch them and get me a full read out as soon as
you can because we may have to act in just a few more seconds." Just as
she had finished talking my shoulder pads clicked and open up with a loud pop
that caused everybody around us to jump baring their swords towards us while
some archers lost their nerves causing them to lose handle on their arrows and
sent them flying towards us, causing alarms in my suit to sound off with the
incoming missiles which just bounced off the metal casing of my suit, bringing a
sickening look to their face. Chuckling
some, I sighed, "Kitty this is going to be a long day." "But Dar hasn't it already
been a long day? Also by the way the drones are in the air and are reviewing
the area so far from what scanners can see the two armies have yet to fully
clash they are staying 500 yards apart but based on first looks I would expect
that this group is outnumbered 500 to 1 already if not more." "Well then so
your saying currently we are on the losing side from the looks of it, well
based on what I see if the other side's tech is no higher than theirs, then we
wouldn't have much trouble getting away right now. But we are going to have to
fight some time and I have no clue we're we are so any thoughts?" "Well
up front if we went by battle strength I would say we should put a few well
placed grenades on the weaker army and just finish them off. That way should we
have to fight the other one; we could use the rifle and maybe scare them." "Ok
well that is a possibility Kitty but can we try to keep the grenades in
reserve? I don't want to use them unless we have to." "Well Dar we could do
what you like to do most and help out what appears to be the underdog, and take
on the larger army first, we may be able to conserve ammo with the latest data
I received from the drones however we don't have much time left before they
start to clash and I don't expect this side to last too long before falling or
retreating." "Heh well you know me to tell. Well let's get to it before they
have a heart attack, I'm guess they have never seen anything like us before,
most likely think we some kind of demon and after a few rounds they will really
think that. So while I make my way to the front I want you to calculate the
best trajectories possible to take out as many of them as possible, I don't
want to use the last of the rounds if we don't have to. While you figure that
out, I'm going to have some fun seeing what these people around us are going to
do." That's
when I noticed a small path had opened up towards the front line, in the group
of men around me, and so I slowly making my way forward. "These people must
really be shitting themselves thinking we're some kind of devil or angel." My
hand coming to rest on the handle, I yanked back the slide making sure I had a
round chamber and watching the other one fly out. While the round was loaded I
went step by step towards the front line, until I was at a decent run. With a
clank, clank, clank along the ground I made my way forward jumping over men
that were scattering out of my way. Most likely scared shitless from a huge
hulk of metal they had just seen. Soon
enough we neared the front in time to see the other line start to charge
forward. "Quick round trajectory." "Impossible without hitting what we call
allies grenade trajectory ready." Just as quickly as quickly as the cross hairs
showed up for the direction of fire I stopped with a loud report, the grenade
went flying while everybody around of us hit the dirt with a yell and the other
side stopping in their tracks. However that was their biggest mistake as they
soon quickly found out. The
grenade sailed through the air with easy, and as it quickly descended it made
its impact in the middle of the front loud and with a loud explosion a massive
hole in the middle of the line appeared while body parts, blood, and metal flew
in all directions wounding and killing more and more as the shrapnel spread
out. With that I quickly changed back pressing the rifle into my shoulder as I
started sending out rounds in repeated succession. Each round easily hitting
more and more people directly in the neck, popping heads off as the rounds
pierced the old fashion body armor. With the weak armor and vital neck points
being hit and most everybody in a line, dropping ten or more with a single
round was easy to do. I sent round, after round, after round down the line
towards the enemy. I didn't stop till I had finished the last of my current
clip leaving me with the other 5 in my pack. As I reached back and drew another
clip from the pack and loaded it into my rifle reading for another possible
attack. Minutes
seemed like hours as I looked down at the enemy watching for any movement other
than the scared looks of the enemies' faces. "What do you think Kitty? They
going to run or keep coming?" "Don't know based on what I can tell, I would be
surprised if they decided to keep pushing after such a small massacre they
should know they don't stand a chance." "That is true Kitty however this seems
to be a completely different culture so we don't know if they think rationally
or thought." At that moment their answers were made as the remainder of the
enemy started turning around and running. We continued
to watch for several minutes waiting to see what the enemy was going to do,
even after what had become our new friends, had retired to their tents. Until
we were sure they wouldn't attempt anther push. "Hmm well as much as I would
like to make a push we need to conserve power, especially with the sun
dropping. Keep the drones in the air as long as possible; I want to be sure
that they won't come again." "Sure thing Dar, once power reaches crit. I'll
return them to the shoulder docking bay. Shall we return to our new friends?"
"More like our new family in a since we don't know where we are, nor where our
friends might be even if we're on the same planet as them." With a final sigh
of relief about the day possible being over, I made my way towards the small
camp and possible the start of my new life.
