The War Ch4 Night Fishing
#4 of The War
"Ow...man," Spyro groaned, he was bruised and beaten. They had tried to take him but lost, in a few days they would try again. But that didn't mean that they sucked, they did very well for beginners. Had him dodging and watching out for them every second.
It was late in the night, Spyro was in his own room, Cynder and everyone else were in theirs. He had woken up from thirst, after the match he had wanted to take a rest.
"Sir," a man said, Dylan looked at the man, the man got a good look at Dylan. 5ft, 9, black hair, green eyes. He looks like a good guy but was a mean person.
"What is it?" Dylan asked, he was starting to get a little annoyed.
"The men have reached the cave and are starting there work now."
Dylan had turned back to the sea of holo-monitors, the shoulder cams on the scientist and workers just starting to show the cave that Marcus and Caelia had escaped through. He hoped the day came soon when they could unlock the secrets and find them....
"Good....," he said as he watched the monitors, "And once we can get through I am going to crush them!" he smashed his fist down on a table.
Marcus jerked awake, something wasn't right. He could feel it, he had this strange sense with something bad was going to happen. It was like a tingly feeling in the back of his head. He quickly got dressed and grabbed a special helmet that was very sensitive to sound and movement, and walked out to the balcony.
Sound for all around filled the helmet, the sound of the leaves blowing in the wind, crickets chirping away in the warm night. But...there was a sound that stood out from the rest that caught his attention. He listened in closely and found out it was someone crying out for help! He rapidly press some buttons on his watch and pinpointed the location.
Spyro was walking in the hall to a room that had a small spring that brought in fresh drinking water. He passed Marcus's room; there were a multitude of sound coming form the room. So he looked inside to see Marcus, he was fully dressed, why? He didn't have to wait long to see what happened next!
Marcus made a run for the Balcony and jumped off! He activated his jetpack and blasted off into the night. Spyro was confused why he was going off, must want to go out for a while he thought. The flame from the jetpack glowed bright indigo.
The wind whipped against his face as flew on, the locater on his watch started to beep faster as he was coming up on the pinpointed area where he heard the cry for help. He put on another burst of speed flying low brushing the tree tops ever so slightly. He had a feeling things were going to get bad fast.
After ten minutes of flying the indicater on his watch said that he was now five miles away, that was taking too long, so he pressed a button on the jet pack....
He was suddenly rocketed forwards at deadly speeds; the jetpack was now in overdrive, traveling at a speed of 120MPH, the drag from the wind slowed him down only a small bit. Come on faster Marcus faster he thought, if you don't hurry it up the person or persons will die!
The watch suddenly made a long beep, signaling that he had arrived at the location. It was a very large cave that was on an open plain, hidden by the trees and a small stream. He saw a small stream of what seems like Orcs going into the cave, a blast of electric sounded off as it fried the things. Someone was defiantly in trouble and needed help now!
He dropped down and landed outside of the cave, and looking inside. He saw a dragon...no...Dragoness, a yellow/black one that was putting up quite a fight to stay alive. She had two sets of horns on her head, one pair curved in towards the first set that protrudes from the back of her head. She had a small set of ridges that ran down the length if her back and ended at her tail. This ended in a sharp blade.
"Fuck you too!" the dragoness yelled and fired another blast of electricity at an Orc, but she was careless and forgot to look behind her. The Orc slashed at her with its axe cutting her deep in the side. She cried out in pain and fell to her side; she was cover in cuts, and bruises. It was time to act now!
There was a loud whistle that caught the dragoness's and the Orcs attention, they all turned to see a strange figure in the entrance of the cave. The Orcs seemed to know who he was and started to back away a bit. The dragoness looked scared to death, probably thought he was her to finish her off, poor girl.
"Ugh, you ugly mutherfuckers again, looks like your fucked now." Marcus said with a small smile. He leveled his Mk.48 mod.0 and yelled "Get down!" before opening fire. She hit the floor as the room was filled with the thunder of rounds being fired off. They ripped into the large group of Orcs, blood spurted everywhere. All seven-hundred rounds clattered to the floor, he threw down the now useless gun and pulled out his dual swords. There was around eighteen remaining Orcs; they saw that there was no way to escape until they killed Marcus.
"Holy....shit..," the dragoness whispered under her breath, "He wiped almost all of them out in one go..." she was shaking with fear now, she didn't know if he was going to kill her or help her.
"Soo...who wants a free ass kicking?" Marcus said, as he opened the swords up, he was about to dash when a large curtain of electric exploded from his hands and into the swords. He dropped the swords in shock and looks at his hands, blue electricity crawled all over his hands, and by the looks of it all over him! Yet it didn't hurt him, why? He grinned known full well he had powers and could use the. "You're ass is grass and I've got the weedwacker!"
He held his hand out and concentrated on the Orcs, a ball of electricity sprang out of his hand and smashed into the Orcs; the ball was as big as a bowling ball and fired them in a millisecond. "Wow, that was quick," he said with a smile, he looked at the dragoness who look like she had seen the grim reaper her self. He walked over to her, she started to get away by crawling backwards, and he could see the pure fear in her blue eyes. "Are you ok?" he asked, she stopped when he said that.
The dragoness was still scared but she answered back, "I-I think so, I got real beat up by those things." She tried to get up but fell to the floor, her wounds were worse than she thought. Marcus came up to her and checked her over.
"Shit....your really beat up, you need medical attention." he said as he stood back up.
"No...I'm fine, I have been through worse." The dragoness reassured him. She lied, he could tell.
"Listen to me," Marcus said in a kind voice, "You know you won't last long out here alone. Who knows how many more of those things are out there. I'm taking you back to the Dragon temple so we can get you fixed up." She was about to open her mouth but shut it knowing he was right; she winced in pain as she shifted.
"But wait," she said back, "how are you going to get me back there? You can't carry me; I'm at least the same size as you." That made Marcus give her a small smile.
"Don't worry I have a way, just don't freak out about it." He said before walking put to the entrance and throwing down a small domino sized object. It instantly started to build up becoming a M1133 Medical Evacuation Vehicle (Stryker), seeing that surprised the hell out of her. He opened the back hatch before running back to her. He helped her and walked her over to it. Once she was inside he started it up, it startled her but he told her told her what that was as he started to drive back to the temple.
"Spyro, Caelia, can anyone read me," Marcus asked as he pressed the button on his headset. He waited for a reply...there was none. "Hello is any one there?" he asked again, this time he got a reply and it was from Caelia who was woken up from the chatter of the headset. The dragoness in the MEV couldn't hear the conversation.
"...yes what is it Marcus?" she asked a little worried and tired at the same time.
"I have an injured dragon with me; she needs to get patched up. I am....two miles out, just look for the MEV coming your way."
"How badly is she hurt?"
Marcus turned and looked at the dragon, "She has several deep cuts, gashes, bruises but other than that she looks fine." The MEV was bouncing around as they drove over the hills, it was a smooth ride.
The dragoness looked around the vehicle; it was so strange and weird. I have to deliver my message she thought, I have to find that Marcus guy before its too late. But she knew she that she couldn't in the condition she was in. If she died he would never know about his real family, to what was going on. She was told that he was here but had no picture to id him. Maybe this guy knows where I can find him.
The MEV came to a halt at the entrance of the Dragon temple, if the doors had been open he could have drove right inside. Shutting off the MEW Marcus opened the hatch so he could get here out. Every one in the temple was outside by the time he was helping her out.
"Hey," the dragoness said as Marcus helped her to the group of dragons, "Do you by chance know any one by the name of Marcus?"
"Yea," Marcus said as he looked at her, "I'm Marcus, why?" she stopped walking and dug something about of her side pouch.
"Because I have a message for you...from your real parents." That shocked everyone and Marcus the most, he had never met his real parents. When he was still a small child he was given to his parent's best friends that were married. That's what he was told, when ever he asked about them they always said they wanted what was best for him. And did what they had to protect him.
"How can they be," he asked in complete shock, "I thought they were dead!"
The dragoness had a look of sorrow on her face, "They had to tell your foster parents that to protect you. When.....they found out that you were here....now with the little dragon. They wanted me to give you this so you would know what was happening." She handed him a small circular device that he identified as a holo- projector. It looked to be at least twenty three years old. On the side of it was the name of the ship it came from. The U.S.S Albatross, the famous space warship that disappear many years ago when testing a hyper-space-rift-gate. The one that his parents had been on...
Marcus took it from her hands, and then the dragon fell limp from exhaustion. "Get her inside," he said, they took her inside wile Marcus stared at the holo-projector in disbelief. All his life he had wanted to know where his parents were or what happened to him....here in his hands lay the truth to all his questions. He closed his hand around it, now wasn't the time he had to help that dragon out. He turned the MEV back into its Nano default.
The sound of Marcus's boots clomping on the floor filled the temple as he walked down into the room everyone was, Med-kit supplies in hand...
