"...Sergeant! There all around us!"
"Keep firing Taka! Keep firing! Sia! Contact command! Tell, Taka duck! Tell Dejesus that..."
"Sergeant! No! Command! This is Charlie 2! We're taking heavy casualties, we..."

Radio silence.

"That's it? Nothing else?" Dejesus asked.
"Nothing, we can hear their weapons firing but not the hostiles. There was nothing on camera either. Just them lying on the floor, dead or unconscious. We can't tell." Sitharo replied.
"Tell Alpha and Beta i want them awake and ready in 30 minutes, have them pack heatseekers."
"Yes Sensei, it shall be done.

And Dejesus walked out.

40 Minutes later.

"Alpha squad, name and number!"

"Sei Sitharo! 2!"

"Kia katoma! 3!"
...
...

"Kitaromana Katei! 7!"


"Very well. Captain, radio Beta. We're moving out. " Dejesus ordered while taking point.

"Sensei, please enlighten me. Where are we headed, exactly?" Alpha one asked

"What do you think of our enemy, Kai? Do you think it to be human, Slomon K'Hara?"

"Well, i would suppose we were fighting Humans here, Sensei. What else?" He replied.

"Not something Human, that's for sure. Nor Slomon K'Hara. No..Its something..Som- Down! Down now! And keep quiet!" Dejesus whispered

"What is it Sensei?" Kai asked. "...Sensei?"

"Keep quiet. Katei, go check the next bulkhead out." Dejesus ordered.

Katei crouched towards the bulkhead.

"All clear Sensei"

Those were his last words. Without seeing anything, Katei was lift up as above some one's head, and thrown on the marble sword of a nearby statue.

Kia was next. His arm was torn of and thrown trough the air, while it looked as something bit his head straight off.

"Sitharo! Get Beta squad here RIGHT NOW!" Dejesus shouted. "Alpha squad! Heat seekers on now!"

And they saw it. A creature from the Netherworld, something the size of a giant. 11 feet high, 5 feet broad. Its claws had the size of a Dia-Katana, and his feet like giant boots melted together.

Alpha squad froze, all but one, they stared at the monster in fear.

"Alpha! Blow that damn mutant back to the pits of Satha! Open fire!" Dejesus shouted.

And so they did. Particle ammo flew across the room. Some rounds went straight trough the monster, ineffective. Others hit the target, making the beast roar in rage. After several well-placed shots, it fell over, and became visible. The beast had a dark purple glow on it, with a stripe across his forehead. The mark of Satha.
