The Last Survivor
Prologue
Pioneer 1's mission was to find a new home, a new hope for a dying world. Many stories of what happened went untold because of the lack of survivors, all but one, the story of the last survivor. In its attempt to explore the planet, a platoon of twenty soldiers was dispatched to the southern continent of Jinjuque. The flight of Viper 3, a small transport vehicle, was disturbed by an attack by Gal Griffon. The vehicle was forced to crash land. At first communication was available and the commanding officer General Daniel C. would make it a point of making continuous communications. The crew was making its way north to the site were Pioneer 1 had established base. One day the communications stopped and Pioneer 1 would no longer respond. The crew continued its way north till one night when they were attacked by monsters they had never seen before, Tollaws which ripped to shreds almost every member of the crew in a destructive battle. When the battle was over only two men stood, Gen. Daniel C. and Squad Leader John Adams. They continued till from afar off the finally saw the smoke raising from Pioneer 1's camp. That night in the sight of desperation, John Adams took his life. In the shame of failing as a commander, Gen Daniel C. decided to not reveled himself to the soon to arrive Pioneer 2. He began living amongst the wild monster of Ragol. His weapon was a special metal blade that soon took a life of its own to protect its owner he called The Last Survivor. This is its story.
Chapter 1
Scenario: A platoon of military rangers just invaded a mine on the outskirts of Ragol searching supplies of photon drops used in making weaponry and grinders, which are used to upgrade current weaponry. Lieutenant Commander Amneris of the Alpha Squad is in command of an army of RAcaseals about 100 strong and about 25 human rangers.
Amneris: These mines are crawling with creatures similar to the caves in Ragol, we might need backup.
Derrick: Not at all, these RAcaseals we brought along will do the job of shredding any of those monsters that try to get near us. Besides, your half newman, you'll keep us empowered in a strong fight.
Amneris: Half, not fully, I drain myself badly if I use too many techniques.
(A battle breaks out, guns shots heard as in the middle of a war, and all of a sudden...)
Derrick: What the ...arrrgghhh!!!
(The RAcaseals begin going down as a swarm of vulmers attacks)
Derrick: What are those?
Amneris: Don't know, never seen them before, so shut up and shoot!
Derrick: Even the Droids can not beat them, lets retreat.
Amneris: All units retreat immediately!
(The entire force begins to pull back just to notice more of them burrowing out of the ground behind them)
Amneris: OH NO! WERE SURROUNDED! Derrick , Derriiiiiick!!!!!!
(Amneris looks back and sees Derrick being devoured by govulmer. She looks around and sees the RAcaseals being overwhelmed and losses hope. She drops to her knees as tears begin to roll down her face. A vulmer approaches her in a horrid charge. At its sight she faints. Hours later, she opens her eyes and finds herself in a hilltop. The crashing waters of a waterfall can be heard and a blanket knit from the feathers of a pal rappy covers her.)
Amneris: Were am I, what am I doing here?
Man, with a soft broken voice: You should have never have come to Ragol
Amneris: What? Who are you?
Man: Great evil rules this planet, greater evil than we could have ever imagined.
Amneris: What are you talking about? You are not wearing a Pioneer 2 military issued uniform. Are you a hunter? Whats your section ID? Whom are you reporting to?
Man: I will help you go back to the Ragol Forest Portal, but you must promise to tell everyone to leave this evil place and search elsewhere for a home.
Amneris: Your not answering any of my questions. Are you even listening to me? Were is the rest of my unit?
Man: They are all dead. Killed by creatures that were locked out of the main areas of Pioneer 1's base camp. Locked out for a reason. You do not have the weaponry to defeat them.
(Amneris begins to cry at the though of loosing the entire squad. She trembles at the night cold)
Amneris: I cant go back. I have no one there. My family came ahead in Pioneer 1, all but my brother Derrick. And now he is dead too. I want to die!!
Man: No, you do not want to die. If we all died, there truly would be no hope. If I would have died, you also would be dead right now. But I lived and because I did. I was able to save your life today. Likewise you will serve as hope for others.
Amneris: Who are you, please tell me.
Man: I am General Daniel C. of Pioneer 1.
Daniel reveals to her all that had happened with him as the night fades away...
Chapter 2
The two are back on the way to the portal on the Ragol forest that leads back to Pioneer 2 as Daniel promised to help her get back. Amneris had explained how resources on Pioneer 2 depleted and how they were living off the resources on Ragol, meaning they had no way of leaving the planets orbit and searching for another planet. She also told him how the government was covering up all the problems of Ragol from the people and how they had told the population of Pioneer 2 that the deaths of Pioneer 1 were due to and accidental explosion and what they had really discovered. The two approached the portal.
Amneris: Come with me.
Daniel: I cannot. I no longer want to deal with the military. They will want to know all that happened. I cannot live with my failures.
Amneris: I know what you mean. The army that was with me was mostly new techno droids created for combat. Unlike the older models, which could think for themselves, these were created with no personality to prevent them from asking for wages or freedom. They were programmed only to protect humans instead of thinking for themselves like free Casts and Casaels. The government lost billions of meseta on them. Now I have to explain why. This is going to suck.
Daniel: Well here you are. Bye, forget me OK. I don't exist.
(Daniel turns around and begins to walk away. Amneris thinks to herself, "I can't let him leave")
Amneris: Stop! Wait!. I got an idea.
Daniel: huh!?
Amneris: How about a new life? I can get you a hunters ID through my friend Bernie and perhaps you can just start a new. I will set up a telepipe so you can sneak about Pioneer 2 without the guards knowing. You can start all over, your life, as a hunter.
Daniel: Why?
Amneris: Why what? (Thinks to herself "This guy is weird")
Daniel: Why are you helping me.
Amneris: You saved me, I just want to return the favor.
Daniel: I have no quarters in Pioneer 2.
Amneris: You can live with me. I was to lose my life when you found me, my life is yours now.
Daniel: I can not do that. It is wrong!
Amneris: It would be wrong if I let you living out here like an animal. If you don't come with me I will report you to the military. They will arrest you for going a wall. Who knows what they will do to you then. Perhaps dissect you to see if you contracted parasite cells.
(Daniel smirks at the girl)
Daniel: OK, just keep me a secret OK.
Amneris: Sure, just wait out here. I will send Bernie to get you and bring you to me. If anyone asks who you are tell them you are my fiance who is coming to be with me. I will take care of the rest.
Daniel: Fiance
Amneris: Its just a cover.
(Daniel stares at her weirdly)
Daniel: A cover? hmmm...OK
That night a mysterious RAmar enters the forest and yells out "HUmar Daniel, We have completed our assignment!" Daniel goes to meet the RAmar.
Daniel: I assume your Bernie. What assignment, what are you talking about.
Bernie (whispers): Just to throw off anyone listening in on us. Here is your paper work, Section ID, Birth Certificate, and a paper work for a guild job, just incase the guards want to know why you were on Ragol.
Daniel: How much did she tell you?
Bernie: Everything, but don't worry. I don't have any love for the government. Quite the catch you got there too. She is quite a lady.
Daniel: What are you talking about. She is just helping me get back on the starship.
Bernie: Gee, then why she filed the marriage papers. She must really what to cover up your identity.
Daniel: Marriage papers? What the...?
Bernie: Well its none of my business Mr. Outlaw, she is paying me quite a lot of cash for this job. Follow me I will take you to her. And remember if the guards ask why only my name is on the papers, we completed this mission together. I asked you for help.
The two entered Pioneer 2 together and got past the security gate and into the lobby. They took a small transport ship that took them to Star Ship ANTARES. Bernie led him to Amneris apartment aboard the ship. Bernie knocks on the door of her habitation. The door unlocks.
Amneris: There you are. I owe you one Bernie. Thanks for everything.
Bernie: No problem. see you later Amneris. I got to report to the guild.
Amneris: So quickly. Ok, well thanks.
Bernie turns and walks away and Daniel steps into to her quarters.
Amneris: I told him you were an outlaw. (smiles)
Daniel: Marriage papers?
Amneris: Well it would not be believable if you were my fiance and we did not register. You know as a soldier I must report these things.
Daniel: But marriage papers?
Amneris: Yup, and to assure you can stay in the quarters with me I not only submitted the papers but I forged them as well and submitted them. In other words, were already married.
(pushes Daniel with a smile on her face). Daniel blushes and thinks to himself "I should have let the Vulmer eat her."
Amneris: You were right, I lived to give hope to others. To you. And you lived to give me hope. This is the bond on which we will base this marriage. I have no one, you have no one. But now we have each other.
16 years passed, Amneris and Daniel had a son John Daniel nicknamed Pudge who was now 14. Amneris sent the boy at the age of 5 to be schooled as a Force being that he had some newman blood due to her mother who was a newman. He was instructed by a scholar of techniques and the greatest newman ever LaMax Orion. At the age of 12 he had fully mastered all known techniques with the teachings of LaMax. The boys blood as a newman allowed him to master powerfully techniques normal humans could not learn but his tough human physique allowed him to muster power fully attacks with out using to much of his physical strength.
Soon would be discovered a great secret kept from all by the Newmans.
