User blog:Ghostwolf18/The Second Coming: A SAS story

The team was riding home in a drop ship. They had escaped the space station, and watched as it blew up. They opened their boxes. "Hey guys, there's a letter from the caption on the boxes!" Said Apple. He read it to them "I want you to know I wasn't a jerk because I wanted to be. I had to be mean to you guys to harden you. These are the best weapons and armor I could get for you. Each of you gets a power assist, MEM Sprints, a dragonfly helm, IDS Gloves, and dragonfly legs. For Gracchus and Ghost, a CM 505. For Apple, a Gigavolt, for Sky a Heartburn, and a CM 225 for everyone too."

"Wow, maybe he did like us." Said Ghost. Suddenly, the team heard another voice. "I can't be killed that easily…" the team turned and saw the captain, who was piloting the ship "I happened to be on this when the infection started. Luckily, I know how to fly one. The pilot turned and I killed him." The captain said.

The team rejoiced. "Boy are we glad to see you Captain!" Said sky. "Thanks for the supplies!" Gracchus noted. The captain replied "you boys are welcome. Sky, I tried to get you a striker, but they are in short supply right now. You'll have one ASAP."

The ship continued towards Aartis, where a SAS base was located. The boys would join other SAS teams, ready to fight the apocalypse. It was a long ride. They decided to catch a nap on the way there.

The drop ship hit the Tarmac hard. Ghost woke with a start, and looked around. Apple was still heavily asleep. He'd wake up if someone was talking, but slept through everything else. Gracchus shook him awake, and the trio left the ship. Sky, like usual, was the first one off the ship. He hated flying, and did everything he could to avoid it. The captain led them to their new home. It was a large base, with many SAS troops training in it.

They checked into the barracks, and luckily all got the same room. The base had everything they needed. Showers, good food, a shooting range, combat simulators, and even video games. Another novelty was the women. The team was amazed to see them. Somewhere along the line, it became acceptable for women to be in the SAS. They liked the change.

After a long day of touring the base, the team went to the barracks. They slept like rocks, and soon, Ghost was falling into his next nightmare.
