Present Time:
I wandered through the forest finding a large oak tree just by the cliff. It gave me the perfect view of the ocean and sunrise. For a moment all was calm and silent, it was just what i needed after the battle I had fought, what people did'nt know was shortly behind me in a small village filled with Terrorists and Ruthless Mercenarys was now full of corpses. SOme of those Corpses being the bodies of my Platoon.
2 Hours, 21 Minutes Before Present Time:
We had just landed at the LZ (Landing Zone), there was Five us and we had climbed out of the Chopper and were now in a small Campsite about 3 Miles away from the Hotspot. Our mission, was to overcome the Terrorist Base and uprehend the captured Hostage and Retreive Important Confidential Government Documents. We made our way through the Jungle, dis-arming Traps and taking out some of the Enemy while in Stealth Mode. They would have never seen us coming, we soon arrived at Hero Hill. A Sniper Vantage Point just above the Village, something was not right when took a peak with the binoculars. The Hostage was dead and it looked as if they were burning the documents. Some how they knew we were coming, three of us turned around only to be ambushed by two of our own men and a load of Terrorists. There was no chance to survive if we got into a fire-fight, instead we threw down our weapons and prepared for a surrender.
Present Time:
I managed to survive in the Concentration Camp for a while, before i devised a plan to escape. It was hard but we soon found a way, Unfortunetly i was the only one who made it out of the Camp alive and i mean the only one. Everybody else perished in eitehr gunfire or explosions. Now i rested with my back up against the bark of the tree, my M-16 Carbine rested on my chest and msot of my uniform was covered in blood, it was sunset and i gazed out in the purple and orange sky. My eyes felt heavy but I ahd to remain concsious, I was waiting at the Extraction Point, but i some how doubt that the Chopper was coming. They probally assumed we went AWOL when they lost Radio-Communication with us. Now all I could do is wait, the anticpation was getting to me. All was silent and i quickly glanced around as I pointed the RIfle forward. "Who's there". I called out hearing the snapping of a Twig.

"That was a raccoon. Do not jump to conclusions so easily. However, as is obvious because I am speaking, I am here as well. My name is Akiri Iko, I was attracted by the scent of blood," I said. I didn't move, so as not to waste energy or draw any more attention to myself than necessary, and said calmly, "Now tell me what happened here. Depending on your answer, I will decide wether you live or die." While saying this, I surveyed the surroundings, and the man sitting in front of me. His weapon was not pointed toward me, but he seemed to be staring straight at me. I've never been any good at throwing my voice, so it's not surprising that he located me. "I will know if you lie, and I am able to dodge bullets," I added, "so do not try to trick me."

"Stay where you are, come any closer. And I will have to arrest your for interferring with Eternal Affairs". The man said as his eyes narrowed down on the women through his balaclava. "I don't have to answer you, and I could kill you in a Heart-Beat. Now, on behalf of the United States Of America and the UN who the hell are you". TheMan said as he extended his finger and turned-off the safety on his AK-57U, and he gazed at her as the Red Lazer slowly wandered up her body and made it's way to her forehead. "I'm a crack shot, you should know that by the corpses you saw on the way here". The man added as he looked at her, but kept his Rifle steadly aimed at her head.

I sighed audibly. "you truly do not know who you are dealing with, do you," I asked the man. I was starting to get bored with this man, I stuffed my hands into my pants pockets and, in an effort to ease my boredom slightly, I crossed my eyes to look at the point of red on my forehead. "if you arrest me, i will escape. But that is if you can catch me first." I focused my eyes on the man's face, but payed more attention to his expression than anything else. "I already told you I can dodge bullets, i do not like to repeat myself. If you test me I will use it as an excuse to attack. I sat down on the cool, damp earth and watched the man stiffen at my movement but tilt his gun to follow me. I did this as a slight test, he had good control of himself, he hadn't shot on instinct. I held a relaxed position, resting my back on a small tree and slouching against it. "I already told you my name, I have yet to hear yours. I am a wanderer, if that answers your question. I kill people I dislike, and I am very close to killing you, if you do not answer my previous question - what happened here?"

The man gazed at the women. "During an interrogation we have been trained to only give out 3 pieces of information". The man stated and then continued. "Name, Birthday and Rank". The man stated a she gazed at the women. "You can dodge bullets, but you did'nt say anything about darts". The man said as he squeezed the muzzle hop on his AK and watched as a dart zipped out the barrel and inot his Targets Leg. He then gazed at the women a she tossed a Flash Bang beneath her feet. He then dashed towards her exeuting a CQC Move, in which he grabbed the Targets arm, twisitng it around twice and then slamming her to the ground. Holding her with one arm and aiming a sidearm (Beretta M.92) at the back of her head he answered her question and gave his Code-Name. "Raiden". He pronounced it with such Confidence and Determination as he removed his mask and waved his head back and forth. His long blonde hair blew in the wind as it exposed itself from the mask and his baby-blue eyes sparkeled in the light. "Stay put CItizen". Raiden pronounced as he dashed towards the cliff and gazed back. "If i see you again, I will kill you". He said as he took a step back and then lunged himself forward over the cliff doing a flip and then a dive into the Water below.

I watched Raiden leave. I didn’t see why he had to be so violent, it was probably some animal instinct. After he had told me it was a dart I didn’t bother dodging it, I’m a demon so any chemical inside would have a lessened effect on me, if any at all. I let my body go limp when he attacked me, so as I would sustain less damage, and breathed in his scent when he removed his mask. Now I could find him easily, it would take at laeast a week for it to disappear completely from the things he’d touched, and at least a day from the air. Suprisingly, he smelled pretty nice. For a human at least. I watched him dive off the cliff, then pulled the dart from my leg. I didn’t feel any effect from it, but a drop of blod was on my leg where it peirced the skin. I walked to the edge of the cliff, and saw him swimming below. I then transformed partially into my beast form; wings, claws, fangs, and pure black eyes. I jumped off the cliff and dove straight down, grabbed the man by the collar and flew him straight back up the cliff, saying “no nonsence is permitted. Answer properly or die.” When I got to the top of the cliff, I threw Radien against a tree hard enough to knock him out, then removed all of the man’s weapons and tied him to the tree with vines from the forest. Then I sat a few feet in front of him and waited for him to wake up. Once he opened his eyes, before he could say anything, I started talking. I hoped he would cooperate this time, it’s rare to find someone with a smell this nice. “ You probably have a hidden weapon. I do not care. First, tell me your birthday and rank, since you may do that freely. Then, if you may, tell me your real name.” I paused, but he didn’t say anything. I continued “ I am not an enemy, I do not ask for any information concerning those above you. I do not believe you comitted this act out of malice, your…scent is nice, that normaly reveals someone’s character. I could become a great ally to you as well, and I do not say that to trick you. I can see that you are alone, it seems that you are unable to contact anyone. Oh, and I’m quite hungry, so do you mind answering before the scavengers come?”

Raiden enjoying the cool water sighedbefore being lifted out of it. "Does'nt she know when to quit". He thought to himself irrated as he withdrew his Knife and stabbed the Creature in it's leg, he groaned as turned to see the Trunk of a Tree coming striaght for him and with a thud, he slowly closed his eyes and drifted off.
Raidens Dream:
"Get back to the APC". The Soldier shouted at his men as they dove past trenches and mine fields. I stumbeled over the dirt hills trying to climb over the rotting corpses of the fallen. My gun still hot from exchanging fire and my heart still racing from the Thrill of Combat. I screamed as I tripped over a peice of Wood and fell into the deep trench, it was filled with muddy brown water. I turned only to be frighten by the Skeleton Body which floated beside me, they were everywhere. And before I knew it, water filled my lungs and I proceeded to blackout but before doing so, I felt the tug on my arms indicating someone was pulling me out.
Back To Reality:
I awoke with a spiliting headache, my head hit the tree pretty hard abdnd the impact was hard enough to knock anyone unconcious possibly even give them a concusion. I glarred up as my blurry vision came into focus and objects became graphic and easier to see. I was surprised to see my self stripped off my Equipment, the only thing that remained on me was my Camo Pants and Combat Boots. I did'nt really have any thing else on me, and what I did have was no use. The dogs tags around my neck shined in the rbight sun, and they stated the information I had already given out to my Enemy. Soon she would come in focus of my vision too and with this I sighed. I listen to her ramblings as she spoke to me. "My Scent.......Rose". I muttered under my breath as I gazed up at her. "I have no name". I stated answering her question, my ears twitched as I looked at he ronce more. "Scavengers, what do you mean". I asked with curiousity as I cocked an eyebrow. The only thing I was worried about were more Militia and I kne wthat If this time they found me, I would be dead. I gazed at the women awaiting a response.

“I sensed fear from you. You are afraid that someone will find you, kill you? I will protect you if that is to happen. I am a skilled warrior, It would be impossible for almost any human to defeat me, even if they numbered in the hundreds.” I walked over to Raiden, and knelt so that my face was at the same level as his, less than a foot away. I breathed in his aroma, savoring it.“Rose? No… why did you say that? Your scent is sort of like…” I closed my eyes, and breathed in slowly. “it is similar to banana, but spicy. There is something sharp there too, almost sour.” I opened my eyes and leaned back a bit. “I will be back. I must eat. I will be thirty minutes at most, Please do not move until I return.” I took off from that spot, and flew to the camp where raiden had been held. I tore the legs off of some of the corpses, and ate them raw. The legs have the most meat on them, and they are my preference compared to the rest of the body. I collected supplies, then flew back to where I left Raiden. He looked up at me with tired eyes, they seemed to have lost their sparkle once the sun went down. I dropped the pack in front of him, and wiped the blood from my face. I asked Raiden if he was hungry, he nodded once. I took some food out of the pack, and set it on the ground. I then released my weapon from it's binding, and raised it to strike. Raiden barely looked surprised. I brought the weapon down, and it sliced through the vines that were holding him. I knew that he didn't have the strength to run, I could feel his weariness through the limited telepathy I had. When the vines were cut,. he immediately fell foreward. I put my hand on his back and said, "Eat."

I shoved the Women away, she had Sympathy for me, which proved she wasn't heartless. But eitherway, I didn't need help. I looked at her. "I'm not a afraid of anything just concerned, and as for you thinking your Immortal, that needs to stop. Rose is not a scent, it's a name".
Raiden stated as he stood and stretched, he was fairly tired. But getting any rest near an Enemy was out of the question, he was not paticulary to fond of this acquaintance and the sooner he found an Escape Route the better. "Oh and as for your Telepathy, it's stops now. Cause my Nanomachines were just activated". He said as a slight smile crossed his face.

“I do not use telepathy. It is considered empathy, and it is very limited. But no human or machine is able to block it. I feel your exhaustion and you may rest. My chances of harming you are the same, awake or asleep. You may leave, but you must eat first. I will not allow you to leave otherwise. Secondly, I will go with you. I do not want you to die, and I have become bored travelling alone for so many years.” As an afterthought I added, “And if you may, please tell me who Rose is. I ask only out of curiosity.”

"Your nobody to me, understand. I don't need your help nor do I want it. You attacked me, it would be very intellugent or stratigical to even trust you. If I was smart I would put a bullet in you right now". Raiden stated a she sat on a log and took a deep breathe, he reached for his radio and flicked the switch on it. "This is Raiden, Objectives Complete, requesting air assitance and Medivac". He stated into the Radio before looking at it strangely, he shook it a few times only to find that it was giving off static. "Somone has EMP's with there Nanomachines, there blocking out my signal. Which means there close to us". Raiden said with paranioa as he gazed around at his surroundings.

“Unfortunately for you, I have never cared about a human as much as I care about you. Then again, that is not saying much. But I will not allow you to come to harm. I can take you somewhere you will be safe, if you would like me to. It is somewhere nobody will find you.” I wondered if it was the best course of action to bring a man to my hideout, someone I barely knew. My hideout is the safest place I know of. It is sheltered from any devices such as GPS’s or location devices. I was unsure if I should take him to this place, but I would give my life before I let harm befall him. It was more of a feeling than a certainty. But I so seldom feel this way about anything, and when I do it ends up as the correct choice.

"That's a Negative, I still have Objectives and a Mission to complete. I'm just trying to figure out who else would be around with Nanomachines in there body, besides me. That means there wired too". Raiden said as he withdrew a Socom Pistol, he gazed around at the enviorment. He then bent down on one knee and placed his fingers over his ear. "I'll try my Nano-Communication, maybe they will respond by Codec". Raiden added as he sat and waited for a response.

"Is this Raiden," responded the voice. "This is Raiden, and who may this be," responded Raiden. "This is the Grey Knight, Brother-Captain of the Inquisition HQ. My name is Xavier and I have been hired by the military to find and bring back you and your squad to your base," responded Xavier. "I am sending you the coordinates to the location of our ship, if you want to find our ship. If we need to, we can go and pick you up. As well, we have been receiving some communication problems with the Radio, are you or any of your men using any EMP nanomachines?" asked Xavier.

"Thats a negative, I'm the only one left of my Platoon alive. None of use EMP's, they effect are Nanomachines in a Negative Way". Raiden responded. "I'm in a CZ (Combat Zone), Target Area is Hot". Raiden mentioned as he spoke into his Codec. He glanced around at the area around him, looking for any signs of an Intruder.

"Copy that," responded Xavier. "I'll come in and recover you, don't even relax for a second," when I am within 100 yards of your location I'll contact you again." "don't leave your guard down, they can be any where, over and out," responded Xavier as he went off of communication.
In Xavier's ship. "Crimson, I am going to get Raiden," said Xavier as he started to get his gear on. "Please be careful," responded Crimson. "I will, Crimson. Make sure this ship is safe when I get back," said Xavier as he start to exit out of the ship. Xavier then jumped off his ship and started to swim to shore, then we started to walk on the beach. "Don't worry Raiden, I am coming for you," thought Xavier as he started to run in the forest quietly.

I left the area as soon as the grey knight contacted Raiden. I went silently, and moved until I was out of human earshot. But it was not too far for me to hear them. any technology they had would most likely be unable to locate me, although I may be wrong. If I was successful, it would be to them as if I had completely abandoned Raiden.

Raiden glarred around at eerything as hSoldiers began to reveal themselves from the bushes and tree-tops, there loaded rifles pointed at Jack with ease. The gleam in his eyes showed courage and event hough he was a fierce soldier, not even he could take on a Platoon of Enemies surrounded with no weapons and no where to go. He slowly rose hsi hands in the air as a silent. "shit" escaped his lips as he looked down at the muddy ground, it was now raining.

Xavier saw Raiden now, surrounded in the rain. "It's not over that easily," thought Xavier. Xavier then jumped right out of the bush and slashed two of the soldiers surrounding Raiden. "Now die scum," shouted Xavier as he shot a barrage of bullets from his wrist, injuring some of the solders and making others retreat. Xavier then tun quickly towards Raiden, and towered over with his knight armor. Xavier then pulled out a Beretta and a small combat Knife. "Take these, it will help you," said Xavier as he handed it over to Raiden.
Xavier then turned around to look at some of the soldiers that still had courage to fight. "Well it looks like guys have some guts to stand up to a Grey Knight," said Xavier. "Die you freak," shouted of the solders as he shoot with his AK-47 hitting Xavier's armor rapidly. The soldier then ran out of ammo. "Is that all you have," said Xavier with a slight depressed voice. "it is a shame, but you must die, for endangering my mission." Xavier then charged his weapon out stabbing the solider right through the gut. "Maybe when you get reborned, you will become stronger, but for know you must rest," said Xavier as he pulled the blade out of his gut. The other soldiers ran in fear. "Well lets get out of here, we haven't got a second to lose," shouted Xavier

Raiden sheathed the weapons as he glarred in the direction where the tree's took place and made path. He quickly darted towards it, while sprinting he gasped for air as he contiued to run until he could see no more around him. He looked carefully as he saw the transparent features of what looked like people walking around. One stepped towards him. "Why have you come to this place". It spoke in a mono-tone yet depressing voice, Raiden starred at him and pondered his mind with questions. "I'm here on buisness for the US Government". Raiden replied as he looked at the man. "US Military, you left us to die, you killed us". The ghostly figured spoke as it reached out for Raiden, he re-acted quickly and tryed to kick it but failing and falling right through. He hit the ground with a solid thud, as dist from the dirt flew in the air. The transparent figure spoke. "Silly man".

"Don't you see that, there everywhere". Raiden screamed as he looked around, panicking. He threw himself up and opened his eyes, he gazed around as he appeared to have been dreaming. He looked around at the Hut he was inside and then at the straw bed he was lying on, his head pounded and his chest was beating.

"Glad to see your up," said a girl. She moved towards Raiden and put a wet towel on his head. "Don't worry I am a friend of Xavier." The girl pointed to Xavier who was sleeping in his armor on the chair. "The name is Crimson, and you need to rest, your suffering from a term called Shell Shock,' said Crimson.

"Shell Shock...that can't be, my Medical Examination said I was Healthly". Raiden mentioned as he looked at Crimson. "Where am I and how did I get here". He asked as you glarred around at the small cabin hutt he was in, the cool water from the towel felt good on his head and caused him to let out a light sigh.

You are in a isolated Hut on the island you platoon was sent to," answered Crimson. "And to answer your other question, you got here because Xavier carried you all the way here. As well,even though your doctor said your healthy, shell shock is not a sickness it is a mental condition that can happen shortly over time or rapidly." Crimson moved towards the small stove and grab a kettle that was boiling. Crimson pour two cups of hot water and put a tea bag in it. She brought, the tea over to Raiden and handed him a cup. "Its green tea. Have some," said Crimson.

"You mis-understood me, my Medical Exam cover all fields of sickness weather it be Mental or Physical, I had my Examination before I came on this Mission, my status was a clear". Raiden mentioned as he took a sip of his Tea and looked at Crimson. "What about those people I saw in the Village before I blanked". Raiden as he held the hot cup of tea in his bandaged hands.

"People, there was no people in the village except the terrorist Xavier fought," Crimson said as she walked towards Xavier and woke him up. "What happen, who needs help," Xavier shouted as he grabbed his pole arm. "Don't worry, nobody needs help, here have some green tea," Crimson said as she put the tea in front of him. "I gladly have some green tea," Xavier said as he grabbed the tea and took a drink. "So what about Raiden, is he alright, he didn't seem that well." "Well according to my study and his medical exams he said he took before he left for the mission, he received shell shock during the mission rather then over time," Crimson said. "I see," Xavier said as he took another sip of his tea.

"I'm not crazy, there were people in that Village". Raiden anounced. "I say we go back after dark, explore the ruins of that Village and search for survivours". Raiden suggested as he looked at the two who chatted across from him.

"If that is what you wish, then it shall happen," Xavier said as he finished drinking his tea. "We will go for two full days of looking for survivors, starting after dark." Xavier stood up and walked outside. "I'll be on the lookout," Xavier said before disappearing outside.

Raiden grinned as he heard his commands accepted, he stood shaking as he did so. He stretched as he gripped his Tea and stepped by the door of the hutt. "Is he the leader of this small villge" Raiden asked as he turned to Crimson.
