//------------------------------// // Prologue // Story: Behind the eyes of a monster // by Kotatko von Drapek //------------------------------// Behind the eyes of a Monster – Prologue Planet Helios Alpha Helios planetary system Far away from Earth 11:12 „All i see, turns to brown“ „As the sun burns the ground“ „And my eyes, fill with sand“ „As i scan, this Wastedland“ What Led Zeppelin were singing, happened to be true. Thousands of miles of endless desert. The planet seemed as a worthless chunk of sand and rock, but he did not have other choice. As a failed military experiment, that psychically changed him into a unstoppable killing machine. Cold, calculating. He did what he had to do. That ended anyways by being sent into space with things that he managed to pack. ------------ The „lightly“ armored old pickup truck rushed trough the desert. A ordinary day. One of the most common problems had to be fixed – broken water distribution. He took everything he needed for this four day long journey, a 4x4 vehicle capable of drivining offroads, because the station where the problems occured was in a deserted place that he visited rarely. „Entering sector X78, 46 kilometers to destination, ETA 30 minutes“ said the robotic voice from the onboard navigation. He stopped the vehicle, and opened the door. „Am i seeing what i am seeing?“ A black eagle landed on the weapon systems that had been installed in the rear. „Appolo, you stupid bird i thought that you’re dead!“ he yelled happily at the bird. „Dumb birds...“ he mumbled while climbing on the back of the truck. Then he opened a can of food, and placed it near the bird. „Eat, ill get you water when we get there“. He waited for the bird to feed, then he kicked the tin can into the sand. „Its hot this morning“. He was not lying, average temperature at this time is 63°C. At the highest – at 18:36, it was even reaching about 80°C. ------------ Ten minutes after, he drove from the tarmac onto a dirt road, hidden in shadow from one side because of a malfunctioning water pipe. After a while he had to stop. The path was blocked from one side by pipes, from the other side by sand and on the road were laying rocks. HE got out. „Fuck! Now i have to move this bullshit for the next two hours like a idiot.... Or not if i use a more „destructive“ way...“ He reached his pocket, and got out a brick of CSSemtex explosives. It was practically normal semtex, just refined and more concentrated. Before he planted the explosives, he made sure that everything is out of the way. The car was, same with things it had on the back. In a chest, there was his Multi-Purpose Assault Gear. It consisted of a full body armor, made out of indestructive material. Only a black hole or something like that could destroy it. The „helianium“ substance (how he called it) was found only on Helios, extremely hard to get. If you had the fortune to find its ore, you had to run it trough two month lasting refining procedure. With the armor, there were also weapons. ----------- Before he could plant the explosives, he saw what probably made the problem. It was some kind of a vortex, not completely dark. It was bending light in. The vortex was getting to him fast. He jumped into the car, and turned the key. The engine was trying to start, but still failing. „Not now dammit, not now!“ He yelled. Then the vortex took him. Entire world went black, then sending him unconsious. ------------ Then he woke up. The light did not blind him, he got too much practice from the light that the three suns surronding Helios emmited. He tried to get up, but when he got halfways his muscles failed him and he fell on the ground. Second try was succesful. He looked around. Trees. With apples. Apple trees. He looked around. Same utility boarding that he wore before. Gloves, high boots, shorts, and a t-shirt with a tactical vest filled with tools. And a sidearm. Then he saw a familiar chest. „heheheh... This’ll make this more interesting“. He opened it, and saw exactly what he expected. Armor, guns. He put the armor on first, then the helmet. While the armor systems were booting up, he put his cape on. Then the hoodie that came with the cape. It was long, ending just before the ground. It was made out of the same material the armor was from. Then he strapped the weapons to him. Four on the back, including the big sword and his gigantic 40mm anti-materiel rifle, his two powerful sidearms – the Hellraiser, a Smith and Wesson 500 magnum, and the SkullCrusher – a IMI Desert Eagle .50AE. Both guns were customly painted, and engraved with some motives. Then he saw something. A horse. Orange horse. No. A midget orange horse wearing a stenson hat, looking at him. It must have came before a while, he did not see it before. „I must be either dreaming, or on shrooms.“ ------------ Dont hate me, but it had to be done. After reading various fanfictions, i decided to make my own, with its own world and its own character. Its my first one so BE GENTLE. Comment please what i should make better, also i’ll make some fanfiction cover art this weekend, including chapter 2. I would GREATLY use someone who has skills in this, to review this and tell me what to enhance. Excuse me if i have grammatic errors, i sometimes have to edit something and i somethimes screw up at writing.
