The life and times of a NC sniper

[luckyjim]

Bulls'eye awoke to the deafening roar of a prowler grinding the dirt 7 feet from his head. He took a second to remember where he was while a large black and red monstrosity was lurching around outside his little hiding spot. He would have been nervous about being discovered but there are been many such visiters that had looked for him. He prided his choice of hiding spots as it was virtually invisibly to air and totally to ground. He rolled over to his left side and tried to get back to sleep land, but the pilot of the prowler didn't seem to want to leave. To occupy his mind, he started counting the bolt driver bullets in his inventory as quietly as he could. Even though he could barely hear himself, he always had to be careful of enemy's with the audio amplifiers implants. There was an article that he read back at Sanctuary about those implants allowing people to blot out certain sounds while amplifiing others. Fears rolled around in his head, always taunting him and infuriating him, for he believed true soldiers didn't have fear. And so he didn't most of the time, but there were times that even he could not control his fear. He had frozen up and had been useless to his allies dying around him. Ever since he tried out the bolt driver at the Shooting range, he had been kind of a lone gunman. He was a crackshot, a artist with one, some officers told him. With the right implants, he would be unstoppable, they said. So he had fought and fought until he could get those implants. As he reflected on memories of hard-won battles and the sweet taste of victory that he got when they won most of them, he began to berate himself. "I worked so hard to get those implants to hide in a hole?!" He mentally shouted at himself. He got so worked up that he rocked back and forth within his hiding spot. He froze as he heard a gruff voice shouting out, "come out with your hands up". It was a TR phrase, one that was used in many a NC joke. He figured that they were talking to someone else as a bullet ripped into the branch right above his head. He slowly unholstered both of his AMPs and began to load them while slowly backing out of his hiding spot. When he reached the ground, he raised his hands so that both AMPs where visible. "HOLY SHIT" one of the two TR soldiers yelled as he began to draw a bead on Bull'seye. Bull'seye ducked and rolled firing his dual handguns at the unsupecting duo. He gave a small sigh of relief as two red and black bodies hit the ground. He crept over to the remains and salvaged the ammo that was, thankfully, unused. He crept over to a large patch of brush that looked like it had been there for several years. "Thank God they didn't find my Wraith" he thought to himself as he moved aside some brush to reveal a slightly dented metal plate. When he was finished moving all of the brush, he pressed a button on the inside of his helmet that made news of current battles on Auraxis appear on his HUD. He was grateful to this as it had helped him avoid those spots when he was low on health. A purple and red mark on his HUD's world map showed him where a battle between the Vanu and the Terran was taking place. It was only 20 miles away, which shocked him as he usually heard lots more heavy armor and infantry voices before this sort of thing came up. He opened his Wraiths trunk and made sure that everything was still there. There was a large supply of medkits, and ammo for the two kinds of guns he used, as well as a healthy supply of all three kinds of gernades. Not many other soldiers did this as they often did not fight alone. But he found this to be useful when someone was chasing him. He sat on the seat of the ATV while calibrating his bolt driver to save time. Who wanted to do it when there was good targets right in front of them? He finished right as a stray flail energy ball hit about 20 feet away from him, ruffling his hair with the force of the explosion. He didn't flinch, why should he, it missed him didn't it? He powered the fast ATV up and sped toward a battle that he would remember for the rest of his life.

-more coming soon, if you liked it so far, then cool cause it's my first try.

[luckyjim]

hey thanks for the good reviews guys,
I'm still sort od a newbie for writing so it means a lot.
Hey I revealed the name as Bullseye, but I plan to make him meet other NC soldiers in the next chapter

:D

[luckyjim]

one more thing, for the guys that want your names in here, do you want me to give you characters anything that your real guys don't have like certs or implants?.

[luckyjim]

Nice stroy so far, anychance you could fit me in? I'm a heavy grunt/medic.

In my story can I make you a TR traitor that came to NC because he was abused as a TR?

Dirt hit Bull'seye in the face, as the wheel of his Wraith grinded up the soft Auraxis terrain. He had been heading for half a day to a large developing battle over a Bio-lab in the middle of nowhere. He was beginning to not hear the purr of his stealthy ATV motor after hearing it for 6 hours straight. Dang communicator had broken, he could not call for recall or evac. As he flew over the hilly terrain, Bull’seye saw an increase of trees and bush around him. He raised his right arm as a blue and yellow blur darted at him from nowhere, slamming into him and knocking him off his Wraith. He rolled around in the dirt with his unseen attacker until he heard a huge explosion. He froze in mid-punch and looked up. What had been his wraith was now nothing more then cinders and shards of charred steel. He ducked his head back down and rolled off of his companion. Bull’seye finally felt the pain in his head that came from getting grief points. He held his head as his light-headedness faded away. A small warning popped up on his HUD about the grief system. While closing down the warning window, he focused on the unconscious body next to his. Damn, it was a NC soldier, and from the looks of it, was a high ranking one, and he looked hurt. “I must be stronger then I look” Bull’seye thought to himself as he took out a medkit and healed some of the mans wounds. When he was done, he went searching through the mans pack, looking for his communicator. He groped around inside the backpack until he felt the shape of something he didn’t know. He pulled it out and it was a command uplink system. He clicked the trigger on the back and accessed the map of where he saw a marker with the tag “Bull’seye” on it . Right next to him, he found from the uplink that his down and out savior was a BR 13 guy named Xmodum. He sure didn’t look BR 13 with his face slightly bruised but then again no one did. As the painkiller finally kicked in, Xmodum groaned and put his hand on his temple. “Your welcome for saving you” he said sarcastically before sitting up. “Sorry X, I always worked alone, so I fight anybody I see, so your lucky I didn’t shoot you” Bull’seye replied apologetically while checking up on the progress of the nearby battle. “Oh so you’re one of those alone guys right?” Xmodum asked while rubbing his forehead. “Oh SHIT!!” Bull’seye swore as he remembered his now destroyed Wraith. “ Now What?!” Xmodum exclaimed as he felt the bruise on his face. “My wraith had all my sniper ammo and medkits in it.” Bull’seye explained while hitting his head on a nearby rock, ” now that that’s gone, I only got one shot rifle and no way to heal.” Xmodum grabbed his shoulder, preventing him from bashing his skull on the rock anymore. “Look, if I didn’t knock you off of it, you wouldn’t even be a pile of cinders right now!”, he said angrily. “I’m trapped down here too, so the only way, were gonna get out of here is if we work together and kill as many of those bastards nearby as possible. I’m a sniper as well so I can give you some ammo, but you better not waste it.” Xmodum stood up and messed around with some bushes around him until he seemed to find something. “Ah here it is.” He said to himself as he began to pull away bushes from around his unknown treasure. Bull’seye peered around his should, trying to see what it was and he gasped as began to help Xmodum clear away the bushes. When they were done, a slightly green liberator stood proudly in the middle of the forest. “Get in the Bomber seat Bull’s.” Xmodum said as he slipped into the pilot seat. “You know, I’m not too good at bombing with this thing.” Bull’seye said nervously as he began to climb into the Bomber seat. “Then just watch our butts.” Xmodum said through the lib intercom. Bull’seye nodded and finished buckling up when the intercom opened up again. “My command uplink says that there’s a group of 5 MAXs heading this way so we better get the hell out of here.” “Roger Xmodum, ready to lift off.” The Liberator just barely cleared the trees before Bull’seye saw flak exploding around his cockpit.” Get us out of here!!” he yelled into the intercom as a shard of molten metal forced its way through his cockpit window just barely missing his right arm.

Chapter 3 Forgotten Alliance

"Damn’t when are those bastards gonna stop shooting us?!!” Bull’seye yelled into the Liberator intercom as flak burst all around his cockpit windows. “Have no idea”, Xmodum yelled back,” But if you’d stop swearing and get off your ass and bomb those guys, I wouldn’t have to keep coming around to face them!”
“YOU”VE BEEN DOING WHAT?!” Bull’seye screamed into the intercom, “I TOLD YOU, I CAN’T FRICKING BOMB IN HERE!!” As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he saw a flak shard rip into the pilots cockpit window. All of the remaining glass on the cockpit shattered and Bull’seye saw it fly backward over his cockpit. Xmodum’s voice, full of static, came over the intercom yelling, ”SHIT I got hit in the leg, bail!” Time seemed to slow down for Bull’seye as he saw a tree directly in the way of the diving aircraft. He reached for the bail button, yelling” GET OUT OF THERE X!!” before hitting the eject button. He bailed out of the lib about half a minute before it hit the tree. He didn’t see Xmodum eject because he didn’t see anything at all as a repeater handgun was thrown from the ground and hit him squarely in the head.

Bull’seye awoke to the sound of someone climbing a tree. “Wha?!” he stuttered,” What the hell happened?” “His head reeled as confused images of a liberator crashing into a tree filled it. As soon as the world stopped turning, he found that all his holsters were empty and his inventory was also. He barely stopped to take a deep breath when a TR chainblade was at his neck and a black and red hand was over his mouth. “Don’t make a sound, or you die a painful death.” his attacked whispered into his ear. Slowly, Bull’seye nodded in defeat, as the chainblade was taken away and a strong arm spun him around. He stared at the grinning face before him. “You are one lucky son of a bitch” the man said with a small chuckle, “If any one else from my squad found you, you’d be in pieces right now. Bull’s eye gaped at the man, which seemed to make the enemy soldier grow irritated. “Look you idiot, I’m not gonna kill ya, if I was, I would have already done it as painfully as possible. So relax, and if you’re worried about your friend, he’s fine thanks to me.” “Oh shit” Bull’seye groaned as all the pieces of his last memory came into place. “Where is he? Tell me or I’ll kill you.” Bull’seye yelled while backing up from the TR traitor.
“Look you jackass, the guys fine, I healed him while you were having your nap!” Heavygain yelled at him. Bullets sprayed all around his head, but Heavygain raised it as he realized it was stray fire. Both of them dove to either sides, and found cover. A girl VS soldier on foot was being chased by a TR wraith pilot who clearly wanted to make her death nice and slow. Right before the red and black ATV passes by, Heavygain tossed a frag grenade right in front of it. Time slowed down for Bull’seye as he realized that Heavygain just gave their position away by not priming the grenade first. But right as the ATV driver drove over it, Heavygain drew his repeater and shot the grenade between the tires. About 3 seconds later, Bull’seye was rained down upon by shards of molten metal and charred armor. He looked up from his cover to find Heavy holding his head moaning. “Forgot about the anti-Traitor headache thing eh?” Bull asked with some sympathy. “No that guy’s gun just hit me in the head.” Bull’seye laughed out loud as he remembered the VS girl. He shouted “If you can hear us, Vanu girl, your safe, we won’t hurt you!”

-more coming soon

[luckyjim]

Sorry I haven;t updated in a while but I've been stuck with over 50 assignments of homework to do in one weekend. :jawdrop: :jawdrop:
Being a sophmore in highschool fricking sucks :mad:
So until I get into the new semester I'll have like no time to write another chapter cause finals are next week

[Heavygain]

Bummer, good luck man ;)

[Jabberwocky]

I suppose some stories are better when they are not drafted by a committee. But, hey I'm not in a position to criticize. It was an interesting read luckyjim, my only suggestions are you should give Heavygain a reason for defecting from the Terran Republic and give the story more of a direction. What are these three (possibly four) soldiers set out to accomplish? What are their motives for helping eachother. You are a good writer though and I'm looking forward to reading some more :).
