Human
Chapter 17
Tremors
I arrived at the hangar as I made my way towards the command room where I could see Nitro "Ah good you're here I've got a mission for you if you're ready." Nitro said "Yeah I'm ready." I replied "Good a recon team reported to us with information about a large Federation mining facility just east of Alice Springs in Australia, I want you to go there and put a stop to their little mining operation." Nitro said "Alright." I said "The transport will take you to the outskirts of Alice Springs not far from the Federation mining facility." Nitro said "Right." I said as I left the command room and walked up to the crate of ammunition and refilled my low supply of ammo I then made my way towards the transport the back door of the transport opened and I boarded the transport and sat down "Take me to Alice Springs in Australia." I said "Understood." the pilot said as the back door of the transport closed and the transport took off and soared out of the hangar before heading towards Australia.
The transport arrived in Australia and as it landed the back door of the transport opened and I stepped off the back door of the transport then closed I then activated my communicator "Nitro this is Josh, I've landed and I'm ready to begin my mission." I said "Alright Josh, just head east of Alice Springs and you should eventually reach the Federation mining facility." Nitro said "Understood, I report back when I'm done." I said as I deactivated my communicator and began moving east.
As I walked through the area I began to feel the ground shaking "Whoa, what the shit?" I thought as I continued moving just then I looked and could see Brian as well as several Ghosts just then they rushed towards me and attacked me, I turned around and ran from them when suddenly I heard what sounded like growling coming from behind me I slowly turned around and as I did I saw a Hybrid standing behind me it looked almost Human it had two normal arms but it also had four other arms protruding out of it's back these arms had blades on the ends of them instead of hands and it's head had multiple eyes the Hybrid screeched at me before it got down on it's hands and charged at me I quickly jumped out of the way as the Hybrid crawled past me I then extended my blade and ran towards the Hybrid the Hybrid stood up and swung it's arms at me I dodged the Hybrid's attacks before I plunged my blade into it's chest the Hybrid screeched in agony before it collapsed to the ground dead, I retracted my blade before I looked around and noticed a strange pipe nearby the strange pipe was protruding out of the ground the strange pipe was large and it was green I stood there staring at the strange pipe before I walked up to it I inspected the strange pipe there was definitely something weird about this strange pipe and I was determined to find out what I looked inside of the strange pipe it was large enough to fit me inside of it I then climbed on top of the strange pipe before I jumped inside of it and began falling through the strange pipe I didn't know where this strange pipe led but I would find out soon enough after awhile I eventually reached the end of the strange pipe and as I approached the end of the strange pipe I quickly reached out and grabbed the edge of the strange pipe before I lifted myself out of the strange pipe I then looked around and was shocked with what I saw instead of being in some underground area like I was expecting I was now somewhere else entirely I looked around and could see that I was outside I could also see that the strange pipe I was in was protruding out of the ground instead of protruding out of a ceiling like I was expecting I looked around and could see grassy fields, large mountains and a blue sky there were also giant mushrooms everywhere the giant mushrooms had white stems and red caps with white dots on them I then noticed that there were weird creatures in this strange place the weird creatures had short bodies and short limbs and they had mushrooms on top of their heads the mushrooms on top of their heads had white caps with red dots on them "What the fuck." I said, I then noticed a large building in the distance I looked at the large building and I could see that it was a castle the castle was built from white stone and it had a red roof with several tall points with red flags on them there was a tall tower protruding out of the center of the castle roof the castle was surrounded by a moat filled with water and there was a white stone bridge leading to the front door of the castle and on the front of the castle just above the front door of the castle was a large stained glass window the picture in the large stained glass window showed a woman with white skin and long blonde hair she was wearing a pink dress that had a blue jewel on it's chest she had white gloves that went past her elbows she had big round earrings that were blue and she had a gold crown with red and blue jewels on it on her head I looked around at my surroundings I was shocked at what I was seeing I then shook my head before I released my grip on the edge of the strange pipe and began falling through the strange pipe again and once I reached the other side of the strange pipe I quickly grabbed the edge of the strange pipe before I pulled myself out of the strange pipe I looked around and could see that I was back in Australia I climbed out of the strange pipe before I tried to make sense of what I just saw I had no explanation for what I saw I then shook my head before I resumed my mission.
