Hunter stood out of the truck to see twelve men in black quarantine suits inspecting the site "Luna, Get down now" Hunter whispered to Luna as he hid in the burnt grass. Luna looked to where he was but could not find him.

"Atlas?" Hunter said "Yes Hunter?". Hunter stalked the men as he got closer "Who are these men? And what are they doing?" Atlas powered up the suit causing it to wrap around Hunter and start to change its colour to camouflage into the background "Hunter, do you remember the thing that shot you down?" Atlas asked as Hunter read on the back of one man "Hmph, The EDC" Hunter said " Who are they again Atlas? My memory is damaged from that crash" Atlas replied "The ECD are what is know as the Extra-Terrestrial Control Division, They shot you down using a rare Planetary defence weapon called a matter cannon" Hunter sighed "Have they gotten into my ship at all?" Atlas replied happily "Not at all for once, things seem going your way" Hunter retorted "Well were is my weapons?" Hunter zoomed into the cockpit seeing his Sniper rifle resting "Mother-" Hunter was cut off once a pulse of energy caused his suit to short circuit and Atlas to go offline, Hunter put his suit back into a earpiece and crouched quietly towards the truck seeing a man walking towards the truck.

Hunter grabbed the man in front of Luna and snapped his neck, quietly throwing his body into the grass hidden "Are you ok?" He asked Luna worryingly "No, you killed that man!" Luna replied raising her voice, Hunter covered her mouth fast and whispered "these are the men that shot me down, they have no worries about executing you on sight, Luna listen to me I need you to get a big truck capable of carrying my ship" Hunter spots a truck parked "I need you to get that and bring it over, ok?" Hunter asked. Luna swallowed hard and hugged him "Hunter, what do I do if they catch me?" She whispered worryingly "here" Hunter handed her a knife. "Stab them in the leg and they will pass out fast without trouble" Luna grabbed it and looked at it but as she went to loom at Hunter he had already disappeared "Oh god what have I gotten myself into?"

Hunter sneaked behind a man and made short work of him by choking him out "Echo 4-1" A man said as he walked past Hunter who hid quickly " Echo 4-1, where are you. Does anyone have visual on Echo 4-1" No one replied, the man who was wearing a armoured suit pulled his sword out as Hunter got up "No time no see Gale" Hunter said in a deep menacing tone "Gale looked at Hunter as Hunters suit came online and wrapped back around him "Oh, hello Ajax" Hunter walked slowly towards Gale "Never call me that! All your men are dead, you wont last, no against me" Gale laughed "What makes you think that, Your armour and AI are outdated!" Gale said amidst his laughter, Hunter grabbed Gale but was throw back into the ship as a truck him them both causing Gale to retreat and fly off. Luna stepped out of the truck "Hunter, Come on !!" Luna called as Hunter grabbed his ship and dragged it with ease into the back of the unmarked Truck "do you have a place where we can store it?" Hunter asked as he pinned the ship down and locked the back "I have a place but we would have to let Fiona have a look at this ship, Okay?" Luna said as they both jumped into the truck "fine, but only them are allowed to know what is happening, deal?" Hunter asked. Luna nodded as they drove. Hunter sighed as a flashback sent him into panic and he started to shake violently "Hunter!, Hunter!" Luna and Atlas said trying to shake Hunter free from his state.
