My name is Jerec Suron, but that isn't my real name. My real name isn't important that side of me died the day the Bane invaded Earth. I was a member of the National Guard assigned to D Company 2nd Battalion 224th Aviation. I was to facilitate the transfer of scientists that day to a remote location off the eastern seaboard. Unknown what was laying wait for me at this location I followed my order to the classified location.
One of the scientists taps my shoulder and says “That is it, that oil rig is where we are heading”.
I respond “Roger, my orders are to assist you…wait what is that?!”
I can see breaking from the clouds above some sort of ship breaking the skyline. I quickly jump on the Radio “Delta wing, Air Control can you confirm 2 unidentified crafts in the sky of unknown Origin!” The same scientists grabs my shoulder and frantically says
“Quickly, You have not time to waste you must get us there now!”
I look up and flip the Emergency broadcasts and repeat: “This Delta wing: two Unidentified Bogies at Location Sierra, Two Unidentified bogies at Location Sierra”
Quickly the radio chatter fires up all over the board. I’m left wondering what in the world is going on as I finally land the Helicopter on the rig. The scientists quickly motions to me follow them. Meanwhile, I receive a radio signal on a secure line. “Delta wing: This Major Holt. You are no longer assigned to the aviation unit you are to assist the safe depart of these scientists any remaining personal off this facility. You are no longer an Avionics Electrician you a now a soldier”
I reply: “Sir, What in the world is going on here?”
Major Holt says “It is an Unknown alien race that been on it way to earth for sometime now. We’ve been preparing for it you are to transfer these scientists off Planet by Wormhole technology salvage from ancient dig sites on this planet. It was left behind a long time ago for us to discover. Do you what you must those scientists must survive! Major holt out”
Quickly as soon as the transmission ends I’m thrown off my feet by a blast from a Bane ship. My head was spinning and my ears were ringing I could barely stand on my own 2 feet. Quickly I see Enemy Troops being dropped off I grab my gun and find cover wondering how am I going to aim with my head spinning like this. I try to aim and fire but miss. I mutter to myself: “Damnit! My head won’t stop spinning. Screw aiming let see how they deal with this!”
I reach down and flick my rifle into full auto and proceed to fire round after round dropping out clip after clip of rounds into the group of Bane soldiers quickly cutting them down. Two other solders run up to me. “Sgt! Sgt! Are you ok?!”
I respond with a growl “Don’t worry about me Soldier! Kill!” quickly we make sort work of the Bane as the land on the deck as an announcement comes blaring over a PA system. “Evacuation Process is complete would all remaining personal report to the transfer chamber you have 20 minutes until self destruct”
2 Soldiers look at me “Lead the way! Hurry!” We take off running down the corridors of the Oil rig. I start dropping equipment in order to lighten my load. I soon enter the wormhole chamber ordering the 2 soldiers through. I take a moment to realize I’m leaving everyone behind as I stand on balcony just above the portal staring down at it. Within 30 minutes I found out we weren’t alone in the universe and within 10 I have to say goodbye to this planet. I’m left to wonder if we’ll ever see it again. Then, slamming through the door behind is a bane soldier knocking me off the balcony along with him landing in the portal and quickly being teleported across the world.
I’m left standing in a middle of a forest standing over a bane soldier I just beat to death. Alone wondering where everyone else is and how did I end up here alone. Left Lost in the Woods….
Coming Soon....Lost in the Woods
