//------------------------------// // I - Flight // Story: Black Forest: Coverup // by Alfoals Trottenbauer //------------------------------// Adrian sat in the helicopter, a soldier next to him, and two in front. He was wearing a helmet, on it were a night-vision visor, a gas mask was strapped onto his face. He wasn't quite sure where they were going. "Anypony know where we're going?" His friend Tower asked. "Could be your mother's house, it seems pretty familiar so far." The soldier next to Sheepherd said. Two soldiers in the back started laughing. "But seriously, nopony knows where we're going." The same one answered. A strange creature flew over the chopper next to theirs. The alien shot a yellow beam below itself, it arced to the chopper and it disappeared completely. "Goose 5, come in, do you read?" The radio repeated. "Delta team? Are you there?" The operator asked more urgently. "Goose 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12. this is control, Goose 5, 4, 3, and 9 are down, do you copy?" "This is Goose 6. 5, 3, 4, and 9 are down. They're off radar." A screeching noise rang above them. A beam hit their engines. "This is Goose 6, we're going down! We've been hit by an unidentified craft!" The helicopter hit the ground.
