[just a little author's note. As you probably know I am SOS.Odin. Odin of SOS in some ppls chapters at bungie.net. This is a new series for me. I felt that Sons of Sparta wasn't too great. Ill probably keep writing for it every once in while. This one was inspired by a show I saw. So if you saw this show too. Itll still be different in quite a few ways. Thanks for reading my stuff. It might not be anywhere close to one of the good ones like Mainevents, Alphas, Walkers, Jillybean, all you pimp writers but im just startin out. Have fun. :D]
Pvt. Steve Wilson woke up in the freezing rain, butt naked. He looked around and noticed a few dozen others in the same situation as him. They were all wearing their birthday suits and sitting in middle of a large field. Many of the females and a few males quickly covered themselves and ran from the rest of the group. Few were unembarrassed, either by superior figure or carelessness. The rest were simply covering themselves a bit, but cared not to run.
Pvt. Steve Wilson noticed a few men among the many who he recognized. He ran up to them as they were talking to conversing.
"James, Staten, Souder, what the hell's going on here?"
Cpl. David James, Pvt. Ian Staten, and Pvts. Kevin and Brian Souder were clueless as to what was going on.
Cpl. James ordered Staten and the Souders to start asking around to try to find anything out. James and Wilson started walking the other way and tried to answer some questions.
"Wilson, what's the last thing you remember?"
"Well, sir, last I knew, me, you, Staten, and the Souders were fighting a Hunter. He was pissed because we killed his bro. They tried to take the D.C. building with the big hat man. I SAW you and Kevin die. The Hunter was chasing me down and Brian was helping Ian. He lost his legs in the same blast that killed you and Kevin."
"I remember that blast coming at me. I guess I died. But then how the hell did I wind up here?"
"Corporal James."
"What's up Ian?"
"Nobody knows what the hell's going on around here."
"Very well. What do you remember before you wound up here?"
"Uhh....I remember you and Kevin dieing in a blast from that faggoty Hunter, I lost my legs and Brian here was helping me get out of there. Wilson was being chased around and then the Hunter smacked him in the back of his head with his big frickin shield. Then he turned and fired a round at me and Brian....S'all I remember."
"We should all be dead right now. We gotta find something out. This is too confusing."
The five Marines decided to continue asking around. Many were positive that they were supposed to be dead. They also found two Army Rangers and an ONI Spec Op.
The spook and soldiers decided to follow the team. Spc. Randy Norris and Pfc. Ellison were Rangers that "died" in a fight while taking out a Covenant artillery position. Pvt. Trey Mascari was on his second ONI mission when his team was ambushed and after a fierce fight he was fatally wounded in the chest.
After talking to everyone else that didn't run, these were the only military men there. Cpl. James steeped forward and decided to take command. The only others to even be able to oppose him were Spec. Norris and the spook. Fortunately, the both of them were glad to let James take control.
Cpl. James decided it was his duty to make sure nothing would happen to the civilians that were there. With the booming voice of a drill instructor, James stole the attention of the civvies.
"LISTEN UP PEOPLE. I AM CORPORAL DAVID JAMES OF THE UNSC MARINE CORPS. THESE SEVEN MEN ARE ALSO SERVICE MEN. WE ARE TAKING RESPONSIBILTY OF YOU PEOPLE. ANY OF YOU WHO DECIDE THIS WOULD NOT BE FOR THE BETTER MAY LEAVE. I NEED EVERYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME WITH US, TO FIND SOME ANSWERS, TO FORM UP. MAKE LINES OF FIVE, ARM LENGTHS APART."
Many of the civilians there were glad to go with the military men. A few people decided to venture off by themselves. The count turned up with 42 civilian responsibilities. Cpl. James ordered Kevin and Brian to take off and check the ridge of the woods that surrounded the field they were in.
During the absence of the Souders, James decided to ask everyone where they were from. Surprisingly they were all from Earth. All of them were between 16 and 30. That was good. A few of them were planning on joining the Marines or the Army after high school. Unfortunately they were unable to live that long.
After about fifteen minutes, Kevin returned, he was wearing a whole suit made of giant leaves and vines. He didn't find anything and decided to make himself some clothes.
About two minutes later, Brian returned. He was wearing gray fatigues and combat boots. James and everyone else were dumbfounded.
James stomped up into Brian's face. "Where did you get those clothes Marine?"
Brian simply pulled out a small box from his pant leg pocket. It was the size of a cigar box and had a button right in the center of what seemed to be the top. Brian pressed the button and chucked the box onto the ground. The box's sided extended to twenty times their original length. The top also extended but only to about hip height.
James was awestruck. What he just witnessed was not physically possible. But it happened. He moved to the box and the top opened up to reveal many compartments. James opened one of the compartment doors and pulled out an undershirt. The civilians rushed the box with the newfound clothing.
After a few minutes everyone was dressed and back in formation. Everyone was wearing gray fatigues and combat boots now. James just now had time to actually ask Brian where he found the gear.
Brian found four little boxes inside a large metal crate near the edge of the field. He led James back to it and they retrieved the other three boxes. They returned to the civilians and they opened the other boxes. Two of them were filled with clothes. The last one was filled with weapons. There were MA8B machine guns, MA5B and MA6B rifles, RA2 Battle Rifles, M7D pistols, Jackhammer rocket launchers, M90 shotguns, a few S2 AM sniper rifles, thousands of rounds for all the guns, and hundreds of grenades.
James and Brian were in love. Never before had they seen such an armory. They didn't even see this many guns in the armories on the starships. James had the two Rangers round up everyone who had fired a gun before, and was willing to fight, line up in front of the crate. The Marines, Rangers and ONI SO grabbed their gear before handing out weapons.
Surprisingly, 31 of the 42 civilians had fired a gun or were willing to learn how to. Everyone who had not fired a weapon before received an MA5B assault rifle, anyone who had, was allowed to grab any weapon they were familiar with.
Everyone received a weapon; no civilians were allowed to carry grenades though. Everybody was back in formation again when James was approached by Randy Norris.
"Sir, from what I gathered, were all supposed to be dead right?"
"Yes"
"Then we all appear in this field stark naked, right?"
"Yeah"
"Then we find a cache of clothing"
"Thank God."
"The clothes were to help protect us from the elements right"
"Right"
"Right....so what are these guns to protect us from..."
