Looking through the scope on my rifle I could see across the salt planes very clearly, the heat waves that would normally obscure my vision were gone thinks to this new scope, Banshee was right, golden age technology can work wonders. The adventure to get this new optic cost me five lives, so it was good to see it works at all.

“Still nothing on tracker, seems like no one’s home.” My Ghost, Hikagen, chimed in my head, I never let her materialize in the field unless absolutely necessary.

“I don’t like it, normally Fallen are crawling all-over old-world sites, especially war bunkers” I scanned the salt flat again, still no movement. “And where the hell is this place anyways, all I see is white cracked earth for miles.”

I heard it before I felt it, the sound of a shock sword is very distinctive, and I heard two swinging for the side of my head. I knew I couldn’t dodge it, so instead I rolled with it, taking some of the force away. The blades cut into my helmet and across the side of my face, splitting one eye in half and cutting away a lot of my front teeth from my jaw. Still alive, barely, I rolled into an upright sitting possession and materialized a throwing knife with my light and with a half spin throw, buried it into the vandal’s chest. The invisibility that was cloaking it burst after the heavy impact and I could see my assailant’s eyes, even as a different species the look of shock and anger was evident, they didn’t expect me to survive the first engagement.

They voiced some manner of curse or expletive as they fell to their knees and drew a pistol from a back holster, it was met with half a clip of 9mm from my side arm. The Fallen lay dead, and I could already feel my face healing slowly.

“More hostiles moving on our location, seems like they were using invisibility tech to hide their location from us. Maybe they knew we where coming?” Hikagen mussed in my head.

“Do we have enough time for you to fully heal me?”

“If you let me materialize then yes.”

I opened my hand and Hikagen was there, blue shell with a ring floating around her. She quickly flew up to my face, I felt the gentle touch of light as my eye was mended and my teeth grew back in, the pain from the wound went from agony to a dull numbness, in just a few seconds I was back to how I was when first resurrected.

“How many on tracker?” I could already see a few Fallen take up positions behind me on the desert mountain, I raised my rifle to take out the snipers first.

“Thirty-four in the immediate vicinity with another five skiffs on the way.” Her voice as always was happy as ever. “Are we fighting or running?”

Five fucking skiffs?

“Running, get the jump ship down here now, use combat mode on it if you need to.” I started firing my sniper at the vandals with wire rifles, already shots were coming in and I could see dregs and shanks charging me.

Four shots then reload, this gun was powerful, but the mag didn’t carry much at all, I got eight Fallen down before the first dreg was in my face. It carried a knife that it never got to use before I decapitated it with my sword. Twenty-five combatants left, at least twelve were right in front of me with a mix of shock spears and swords, and a few guns as well.

I leapt into the air and rained down a flurry of burning knives, each one striking a deferent Fallen, then exploding into molten shrapnel and gore. Few bits hit me as well, but my armor absorbed the damage.

Even after that display of power the remaining enemies still charged, not letting me take advantage of the space I created. Two captains reached me first, four swords each, and started their own blade barrage, it took all of my concentration to not be immediately cut into ribbons, even then it took only a few seconds for them to find an opening and carve into my side. Blood started to flow freely as my liver was bisected, hot pain followed soon after. I needed to get away from them, and I needed to stop the bleeding, so I threw a grenade at the ground in front of us. A wide sphere of fire blossomed between the three of us, burning with great intensity, I was not immune to my own fire, so it burned me as well. This hurt even more then the gash on my side, but it also acted as a quick way to cauterize the wound and give me some breathing space.

The captains jumped out of the fire ball started to chitter angrily in a language I did not know, started to run around it to continue their assault. I picked one at random a threw a knife as hard as I could, jumping into the air in the process. The captain it hit immediately crumbled to the ground and started to sizzle as the body fell back into the fire.

Summoning light around my legs I jumped again while still in the air and emptied my side arm into the remaining captain before I hit the ground. The Fallen stayed standing, bleeding profusely and smoking from their time in my grenade and leapt at me once again. I was reloading my side arm and didn’t have time to finish, so I just raised my arms to block as much as I could.

“Ship is in range, transmatting now.”

I felt the familiar sensation of a transmat at the same time as the other familiar sensation of a shock sword cutting into me. But instead of both my arms being sliced off I was standing in my ship, dripping blood everywhere.

“Setting course for the last city, you should sit down before you fall over.” Hikagen said in her usual cheerful voice, as if unaware of the mortal danger we were both in not three seconds ago.

I grabbed a hand hold and told her to just gun it and was almost blasted off my feet from the G-force of the jump ship going full throttle. Once I was sure we were clear of any fallen chasing us, I sat down at the controls and took over flying. Hikagen had healed me and patched my armor, and this ship was faster than anything the Fallen had, still my heart wouldn’t stop pounding in my chest as I recalled the last few moments with those two captains, I was microseconds away from a final death.

It scared me.

This is the start of this little blog and project I have wanted to do for a while.

I write stuff, and this will be the home of my writings. I would like to get some art done at some point as well.
