Chapter 16: the prisoner part 2

As the Brasnick drones rushed the door, the soldiers that were guarding it had begun to unload their mags into them. Heavy clanking bodies hitting the floor. Clank! Clunk! Screeeep! Is that cold be heard as they hit the ground. 

The TTF soldier accessed a small hatch. It was a storage for his old gear. Old and definitely in need of some maintenance. There was a full body suit and a section for weapons. 

a TR-89 rifle and FN-20 pistol.

As the squad backed up and pointed their guns. The TTF soldier raised his hands.

"Don't worry, it's not loaded and also right now. You're my only hope of getting out of here. Plus, only god knows how many of those damn things are out there!" he exclaimed.

All the men looked at each other and nodded then lowered their guns.

Nubrasik looked towards the doors.

"Either we fight our way out or die!" shouted one of the sergeants.

"Or we could find another way out. I know of 3 maintenance access areas we could try to go through but they are quite small. Plus, they might have collapsed!" exclaimed another.

"Well damn, we have to choose 1!" shouted Nubrasik. 

They all stopped for a moment and looked at eachother. 

"We fight our way to the evac!" barked Nubrasik.

"Do we even have a evac coming?" asked one of the sergeants.

"Revin, do think they would? With the whole operation going on?" asked one of the soldiers.

"Well, we never called for one, but if we could get outside and connect to a high range comms systems. Than we could call for one, so real quick. TTF boy, got a name?' said Revin.

"Don, just call me Don. Now, i agree. We will have to fight our way out. If this station is in the same state from when i was put into cryo. There isn't a high range comm system here. We need a--" Don was cut off mid sentence. 

A powerful rumbling and impact was made. Shaking the ground, knocking everyone off their feet. 

"What the hell was that!?" yelled one of the soldiers. 

"Something big, a ship must of fell from orbit, but whos?" asked Revin. 

"The more important question is… how did it fall? We here to fight gola, other than pirates. No one else should be in the system. This isn't good." expressed Nubrasik.

As all them starred at eachother. All of them were fearing for the worse. 

The shooting had stopped as they approached the door. The men holding were standing in the doorway. A hallway filled with robotic bodies.

"Whats going on?" asked one of the sergeants.

"They stopped coming, despite the sound. I don't think there was alot. Maybe we got them all or they retreated?" stated a one of the soldiers. 

As they begun towards the hallway, the stepped over the bodies. Fried systems and bodies everywhere, Revin kicked one. To ensure it was dead. They had manage to pass many levels without trouble. Making it to the ground level, something was off. They could feel it. 

They opened a door to the outside, the perimeter turrets were down. A few more Brasnik androids, one of the soldiers peeked their head out. He whispered back to the others.

"So there is no one around, turrets and androids are down. They look, sliced. I think something came through and tore into them. I can't see anything. I'll scout it real quick!" stated one of the Star Corp soldiers. 

The soldier had cleared his corners before exiting. When the soldier had went mid way between the door and the treeline. A screech was heard and nothing but a blur was seen. Suddenly the soldier was on the ground, his entire midriff was cut open. He bled out in seconds and almost no one had time to react.

"Shit, was that one of those creatures from earlier?" scaredly said one of the soldiers.

"Were they that fast before?" asked Nubasik. 

In the distance, the ship that crashed could be seen, only smoke and the firey could be seen.

"We need to make it to that crash site, reach the coms and call for help. I can use my nav data to find out the the distance but our issue is not the distance but whats in the way." stated Revan.

The T.T.F. soldier had approached the bunch at the door.

"Whats the hold up? There shouldn't be any dangers out there besides gola!" said teh T.T.F. frustrated.

"Hey asshole, you say there shouldn't be but there are creatures out there, faster than we can blink and rip us in half!:"shouted Nubasik.

The T.T.F. stood there shocked.

"Sorry, could you repeat that? I could of sworn you said faster than we can blink? Rip us in half? Are they about 4 feet tall and blue?" the T.T.F. asked, as he looked as if he was reliving a traumatic moment.

"Ah yes, let me stop one and see if it let us look at it before it rips me apart!" Nubasik said sarcastically.

"Look, Taunis was developing weapons here on this planet, ONE of them. Was a support bio weapon. A creature based on an earth dinosaur known as the velociraptor! Larger, faster, and more dangerous, but last i remember. There was only a handful, maybe 8 in total. Ive also been in cryo and they apparently abandoned the planet too. I have to assume when Taunis abandoned, they must of broke out and reproduced.  Though, I was also assisting in their training. If we had an adaptive sonic emitter, we could set it to the frequency taunis used to make them docile or whatever." explained.

"Or whatever? Yeah, i feel thats not gonna work." mocked Revan.

"Well, our communications devices can emitt frequecies. Should suffice but if this doesnt work. We will leave you behind!" barked Nubasik, 

They had all brought their comms to the T.T.F., unaware of the danger lurking around the crash site…...

sorry about the delay, I've had lots of personal stuff come up. if anyone wishes, in the next chapter, I can leave a discord link!
