Second chapter...I'm not good with people alot of people introdcing their selfs, it will get better after this.so...enjoy.
Marcus slowly started to wake up, he had a pounding headache.
"Ugh...my head." he groaned as he picked himself up, it felt like he went five rounds is Jason fortelly.
"Easy there," a voice said, "You got quiet a bump on the head, lucky we found you when we did." Marcus opened his eyes and couldn't believe what he saw.
More dragons! He had only seen a few but there were around five looking at him with concern. There were four large ones which were a blue one, a red one, a yellow and purple one, and a green and tan dragon. The other dragon wasn't that big it looked to be a little bigger than Caelia. It was black and had a red underside, four sets of horns on the back of its head. Some markings on its head, under its eyes, and on its shoulders, and it also had green eyes. He also saw he was in a large room and on a bed.
"Holy....shit, this is unbelievable." He said in an amazed tone, the only reason he hadn't pulled out his gun was because we was used to seeing a dragon before.
The red dragon looked at him with a smile on his face, "There is no need to be alarmed we aren't going to hurt you. I must say again that if Spyro hadn't gotten back to you when we did, you would be in quiet a predicament. Your friend put up quiet a fight when he came by, she didn't let Spyro get near you."
"Are you kidding!" a voice yelled, Marcus looked around and saw something small and golden fly near him. It looked like a dragonfly, but it had arms, and a face, and could talk!
"She beat the shit out of Spyro," it yelled again, it had a male voice.
"Heh, yea that's Caelia for ya, can beat the shit out of people, I thaught her how to fight." Marcus said in a calm tone, not laughing. "Speaking of which where is
She?" he asked looking around and found nothing.
"I'm right here," she yelled, it came from out in the hall, she came into the room and walked up to him. "I never thought in all my life I would see another dragon, that Purple one was easy to beat, I used that CQC you taught me."
"What is CQC?" The black-red dragon asked it had a female voice.
Marcus started to get up, feeling better than he had in a long time. "Well, CQC means close quarters combat." He stretched; popping sounds could be heard as he stretched.
"I want to thank you guys for what you did, where is the guy that helped me I want to thank him in person." This seemed to please them.
The black-red dragoness walked up to him, "If you want I can go get hi-"
Marcus cut her off saying, "You don't have too, I'm fine you can take me to him inste-" he was cut off by a load explosion that came from out side where ever he was, the dragons, all but Caelia seemed to know what was happing and ran out of the room. Marcus had a feeling something bad was happing and knew that they would need all the help they could get. He caught up to the group; they were one the balcony at what looked like a raid party. They were the ugliest things he had ever seen in his life.
"What in the hell are those butt ugly things?" Marcus asked in disgust. He grabbed a large domino sized weapon out of his pocket and pressed the button, it became a G.E M134 Minigun, an arm formed and latched onto his waist with a clamp. A large ammo canister formed on his back, only certain Genome soldiers could use one like this; he was one of the lucky few.
"Orcs, some of the remaining troops of the Dark Master, they come out here every once in a while and try to raid us, but never get inside. The spells and enchantments are to strong." The red dragon said in an unhappy tone.
A Purple dragon ran up to the group and said, "Hey, what is going- oh come on these guys again!"
"Well, then why not give them a little house warming gift." Marcus said as he pushed his way in front of them, they saw his Minigun, but didn't know what it was. But Caelia did.
"Get back, this is gonna be big!" she yelled, they back away and waited to see what would happen next.
"Good time to run cowards!!" Marcus roared as he pressed the trigger on the Minigun, bullet shells spilled all over the ground as the gun fired. It was a sound that the dragons had never heard before and jumped when it went off. It sounded like the one from the old Terminator 2 movie. Marcus was laughing as the bullets peppered the enemies full of holes. Smoke covered the area where the Orcs were, their cries of pain and terror could be heard, it was music to their ears. The gun stopped a minute later, he dropped the gun, the barrel was hot and smoking from the heat it put off.
"Now the fun begins, you guys ready for the fun?" Marcus laughed, they nodded, "Good, because this is going to get messy." He grabbed his grapple gun and aimed it at the ground, and fired the gun, when it hit the ground he press the trigger again and was pulled towards it. The dragons were not far behind, what was left of the Orc raid party saw Marcus and ran towards him, but didn't see what came next.
Marcus walked slowly towards them as they got closer; he grabbed a flash bang grenade and threw it at them. One of the stupid things picked it up only to have it blow up in its face, blinding the whole group. He walked up to one of them and rammed his fist into its chest and ripped out its heart, it was still beating when he pulled it out. His hand covered in blood, the other Orcs saw this and started to back away, Marcus saw this and started to walk towards them an evil grin on his face.
"Yo, shit face other here!" Caelia yelled at an Orc, it looked at her and got a bullet in the head. Her armor was now covering her body, she was using her Colt trooper Mk.v to blow the heads off the Orcs that were.
The black-red dragoness and the purple dragon were tag-teaming the Orcs, one of them lost there head from the small blade on the end of the dragoness's tail. The dragoness looked to her left and saw Marcus grabbed another Orc and broke it over his knee before pulling out his pistol and destroyed another Orcs head. To him these were the easiest enemies he had ever fought in his life.
Four Orcs pounced on him own to be thrown off when Marcus jumped into the air, jetpack on his back, holding two large blades in his hands. Man of the Orcs had retreated or died, but some stayed and fought. There were around twenty left.
"Spyro," the black dragoness called, "Take a look at this guy, he is having no problem killing these guys."
The purple dragon looked and saw Marcus slicing and dicing the Orcs like they were nothing. "He and his friend are a lot more powerful than they look; his friend almost took my head off. I'm glad we have him on our side Cynder!"
"Marcus," Caelia yelled, "I'm out, I need ammo!" Marcus responded by dropping six of the Nano weapons. She pressed one and it turned into a CIS 50MG heavy machine gun with a large tripod mount, she stood up on her hind legs and grabbed the handles of the gun. Aiming it at a small group that was near the large dragons she opened fire, the dual fed bullet screamed out of the barrel tearing the Orcs into jell-o. "Ohhh run, run,I'm coming for you!" she laughed using an old TF2 taunt. The four large dragons could barely even kill an enemy because they keep getting mowed down. All they could do was stare at the battle with the jaws on the floor. The two that caught their attention most was Marcus and Caelia who looked like they had done this many times. A pro look on their faces as they butchered every remaining enemy in their path, they saw Marcus earlier rip out the heart of one of the Orcs and not even break a sweat.
It was over now; it had taken four minutes to kill them all.
"Wow! Now that is what I call fun!" Marcus said in delight, he had not had a fight like this in three years! One thing he saw that was weird was that the bodies of the Orcs dissolved away until there was nothing left. He landed on the ground and took off the jet pack and all the weapons back into there Nano size container and put them away. One Surviving Orc ran up to Marcus and jump on him hitting him on the head, it didn't seem to do any thing to Marcus he grabbed the thing and drop kicked it sending it flying over a forked tree.
"Goal!!" he yelled as it fly over, smacking head first into a tree branch, skewering it. Marcus then walked over to Caelia was on the ground busting out laughing when he kicked the Orc, he saw that everyone was laughing a bit.
Spyro ran up to make, he looked excited, "That was amazing," he blurted out. "I don't think they will be bothering us any more."
Marcus smiled, "Let me guess who you are....your Spyro right?" the purple dragon nodded, Marcus then looked over to the black-red dragoness. "May I ask what your name is?"
The black-red dragoness smiled and laughed a bit shy at introducing herself, "My name is Cynder....uh..."
"Call me Marcus." He said in a friendly tone. "Can you guys tell me who your big friends are?" he asked as he looked over at the big dragons.
"Well," Cynder said looking at the four dragons that were starting to walk towards the group. "The red one is Ignitus, he is a very nice guy, the green on is Terrador, the blue on is Cyril, annoying as hell sometimes. The Yellow one is Volteer, he is a very talkative guy, his stories can put you to sleep by just listening to them. They are the guardians. Oh, and that little bug you saw was Sparx the most annoying bug you will ever meet." Marcus nodded, knowing all he needed for now. The guardians stopped in front of Marcus.
Sparx who had stayed up on the balcony took a peek out from under a potted plant; he saw what was left of some of the Orcs. "Dang, talk about a bad day these guys had the worst day of their lives!" he saw Marcus talking with the guardians, he couldn't here but there were having a friendly one. Sparx had seen what Marcus had done with the Minigun, he took a close look at the spent shells all over the place, and he knew that being on the business end of this thing would mean certain death!
Volteer who was curious asked, "What are you Marcus? I have never seen your kind before."
"I'm a human sir, I am part of the USCM, and USCM means United States Colonial Marines. A very Elite class of troops, I was one of the rare Genome soldiers; I am more powerful than my own kind, smarter, deadly and craftier. But over look that and I am a very nice guy." This made Volteer and the other dragons even more curious.
"So you are in the military? Terrador asked, intrigued that there was another person from a military background around.
"Well, I don't know anymore, I was being chased by some of my own comrades, they tried to kill me. Well not me but Caelia, after a run for our lives and some portal thing we ended up here." The guardians were going to ask questions about it but stopped, they would wait until a later time to ask.
"I can see that you care for your friend a lot." Ignitus said he was a bit surprised at what came next.
"Dam right," Marcus said in a serious voice, "I'll fight to my last breath to keep her safe, and if I have to I will give my life for her. And kill anyone that hurts her." There was a spark of fire in his eyes as he said that.
Caelia came up along side Marcus, "Hey, Marcus you got any MREs or food in your pack I'm starving!" there was sound of her stomach growling, Marcus took his pack off and started to dig around in it trying to see if he had packed any.
"Crap...sorry Caelia, I don't have any.....wait...I have a slim Jim if you want it?"
"I'll take anything!" she cried, he took the large slim Jim out of its wrapper and handed it to her. She started to bite into it.
"Heh, your that hungry huh?" Marcus chuckled, then there was another sound, everyone started to look at each other. "Crap....that mess hall food goes right through me! I'll be right back." He said before running off behind a cluster of bushes." Caelia busted out laughing, unable to hold it in any more.
"It ain't funny!" he yelled, which triggered a laugh from all the dragons, Sparx had fallen onto the ground gasping for air. A few minutes later he came back out, he popped a pill into his mouth that was designed to help with problems and clear them up almost instantly. He shuddered at the taste of the pill. Why can't they make it taste better?
Cynder was taking a look at Caelia's armor, she liked it wished she had something like that. "Caelia, where did you get that type of armor?" she asked wanting to know where she could get it.
"Marcus made it for me, and all I have to do to take it off is press the button in the middle of my chest to make it go back to its normal size." To show how, she pressed it making the armor shrink and collapse back into its little container.
"Wow." Cynder said in an amazed tone.
"Wow is right; this stuff is strong and can take a beating and still work." That was true Marcus had made two of them one as a test. it took a Barret 50 shell point blank and at a distance and all it did was make little dent.
"I heard that you beat up Spyro is that true?" Cynder ask cocking her head to the side. Spyro heard this and looked at the two dragons talking to each other.
"Yep," Caelia replied, "I used CQC on him like I said earlier, if you want Marcus or I can teach you."
"Hey," Spyro cried, "the only reason she beat me was because of cheap moves!" this caused everyone to look at him then to Caelia who didn't look happy. Spyro started to back away knowing he just said the wrong thing at the wrong time.
Marcus laughed, "You better run boy! She is going to kill you for that!" Caelia dashed after Spyro intent on smashing his face into the dirt. She proved to be faster than him and caught up to him in seconds; she jumped on him and knocked him to the ground, then grabbed him by the neck with her hands and put him in rear naked choke hold. He tried to break free but couldn't, that hold is nearly impossible to break.
"Submit or you will pass out." Caelia growled. Spyro again tried to break free but he couldnt.
"OK, I give up!" Spyro finally said she let him go; he was very close to passing out. Caelia got up and flew back to Marcus and everyone else.
"Wow, that was quick." Cyril said, stifling a small chuckle. He had no idea how good she was at combat. Put her up against a tank and she could bring it down.
"She can bring you down fast; one way is death by tickling." Marcus said as he watches Caelia fly gracefully in the air to his side.
"Death by tickling, huh, how fast can she do that?" Ignitus queried, he had a feeling that it was going to be very fast.
Caelia heard him and said, "I can do it in seconds. But that is just one way to take a person down. One of the easiest is to go for the jugular, death in four minutes. You bleed out, it is a slow death."
"Wow, you are stone cold!" Sparx said with surprise. He had no idea.
"Ok, that's enough," Ignitus said rolling his eyes in amusement. "We owe them a lot for what they did." He stopped and looked at Marcus and Celia, "You are welcome to came and stay at the Temple if you wish, there is more than enough room for the two of you."
"Really," Caelia asked with a look of happiness on her face, "We get to stay here?" Ignitus nodded.
"Thank you," Marcus said with a thankful look on his face, "You have no idea how good it is to find a place where you are safe and won't get killed in your sleep. Can I ask you where are we?"
"You're in dragon realms," Cynder explained "It's made up of different realms that are different from each other; we are in the swamp right now."
"Ah, I see it is like earth where I come from. In a way I mean. Each part of the earth is different from the other, but same in some ways." Marcus said, this place is amazing he thought, I can't wait to get a better look.
"If you want I can scope out this area to make sure no more of those 'things' are here, I have stuff that can take them out in an instant." Marcus said in an almost military voice, he couldn't help it; his old military instincts were kicking in, a new place he had no idea how dangerous this place could be.
"There is no need, for that." Spyro said as he looked at Marcus, "Those things will not be back, they saw you kill them in seconds and now are scared of this place." That was true, at the way they ran they looked like they saw the scariest thing in the whole world. Marcus took a look at his watch; the time was 8:30 June second 2156. This place was beautiful, the air had many different smells to it, the air was amazing and he felt a little lighter. Must be the gravity, this place is gonna feel like paradise.....
