Hawk Meets Markiplier

Log Entry part 4

            “Hawk!” A voice shouted into Starcraft.

            “Who is this?” I answered, focusing on where to go. I finally landed a visual on the invader, a black ship heading straight for some buildings. Sounds like Draikl. Shouldn’t Kekelle be telling me this? 

            “Whoever is on that ship, we can’t figure out who they are…” His response was broken by static. “…they’re jamming the signals from their ship.”

            This could get really bad if I don’t get there in time. I pulled back to slow down enough when I could see all of LA, the expanse of the Pacific on my left and the continent in the rest of my view. I glanced at the gray light that flashed three times then stayed on. The MIB know I’m here. It’s their job to relay some cover-up to the Earth officials. 

I slowed enough so that I could open the top and stand up. I put Jarvis in charge and put my foot on one of the handles. I guided the ship to an interception point.

            “They’re a level six enemy!” That was the last of what I heard before the signal broke entirely. I knew I could leave my gun here though. I jumped up and unfurled my wings. They slid through the specially designed slits in the back of my vest and caught the air. I hovered in my spot, quickly got used to the gravity change and looked around. I saw that the other ship was flying away as well as mine.

            “What are you up to?” I whispered as I watched someone else fall from the sky. My eyes focused on the form and they didn’t look too intimidating. The form crashed into the roof of a large apartment building. I watched it look up at me and smile.

            It laughed as it multiplied into three of them. One of them kept my gaze and the other two fell onto all fours and crawled across the roof and over the side. They clung to the side of the building as they wiggled down.  

            They were hunting for something. One moved away from the other and walked on the wall, careful to avoid being seen and avoided the windows.           

            I watched the first one on the roof and landed on the edge. “What do you want!?”I yelled in a few different languages, getting ready for an attack. It reacted to English, surprisingly. The building shook as I heard an explosion.  

            It only laughed again and went to the side of the roof and looked down. I saw it smile then look at me. “We got what we came for!” It shouted before jumping.  

            I crouched on the edge where I was standing. I jumped over the edge and watched as the hole in the wall was invaded by these three black, level-six aliens. I landed on the wall and held my place, holding onto the wall.

            Only when a human life is in danger can I intervene. I remember when I would jump in at this point. Guns out and everything, I was just an unfurled ball of rage to whatever was attacking.  

            A moment later there was screaming, male screaming, and growling and thrashing and things crashing and breaking. I threw myself into the room and stood in their way of leaving. I poised myself defensively. I opened two small portals, let my two sword hilts emerge from their hiding spot and slowly reached for them.

            I glanced around and saw that this two story apartment had been totally ransacked until they caught the one they were after. He was thrown over the shoulder of one of them. He didn’t look dead.  This one stood tall and looked at me with its reptilian eyes. Its tail moved slowly behind him. The other two stopped but stayed close to the ground.

            “Where do you think you are going?” I asked as I slowly pulled out my swords and crossed them in front of me. I just needed to strike one and it would be over.

            “We got what we came for and now we are leaving.” He replied, tossing the human on his shoulder, causing him to scream in fear when he landed back down.  

            “Why do you need him, of all people?” I asked and straightened up as I slid the blades over each other, making the aliens cringe from the sharp noise. I don’t want to attack unless I need to, “He’s not affiliated with us at all.” I added as I looked at the defenseless black haired man as he didn’t fight being flung over the guys shoulder. He was wearing a shirt and basketball shorts and had headphones dangling from his hand, the wire leading back to the room they came from.

            “Well that’s good.” One of the other two spoke up. He stood up before continuing, “Because he’ll be affiliated with our boss when we’re done with him.”  

             “I guess you have to get past me first.” I growled as the tips crossed each other and let go of an energy charge that was aimed towards the one who spoke. He flew backwards and hit the wall but got up angrily before disappearing. I ran towards the second one with one of my swords and drove it through his stomach. As he stood there he didn’t fight, but melted away.

            “Great…” The one carrying the human mumbled as I turned to him.

            My blade had turned black. “Whatever you throw at me now will be absorbed by my sword.” It was a new power-up but I didn’t want to use anything else if I didn’t have to.

            He looked off to the side and nodded. Without a word he dropped the human and jumped by me. I landed a strike with my other sword but he didn’t strike back. He jumped out of the hole in the wall, looked back at me and said, “You haven’t seen the last of me!”

I watched them disappear and was quiet. I put my swords away and stared out at LA.
