Yes, someone or thing is killing ur precious ones.
... (Listening)
The direction those light blasts came from is where the cause is... Get rid of the cause and you can safely bring them back... And here comes more light blasts.... Should make it easier to find... (Small flashes of light concentrates toward it, the light is absorbed)
...(thinking)
If you don't take acti..... Oh never mind it seems whatever is out there is coming closer... Weird?
(Silence) (several figures approach and then halted one klick out...)
I guess they're being cautious...

******
Change to depleted explosive rounds. Once that thing gets over that hill fire at will.

15 hours later
(Troopers entering locker room)
(Silently changing into formal dress)
( important looking figure enters ) Attention! (Troops come to attention) Your loss of Sargent David has been noted. Head to the debriefing room when your done here. A new energy wall Personel will be deployed to your unit. That is all. Dismissed. (Leaves)
(Fist punches locker) fucking monster...
Save it for the enemy Anderson...
I know... (Fist begins to loosen) But what the hell was that thing!?(Anderson)
We'll find out soon... In the debriefing room...
Probably... Unless it's classified... Like this whole operation...
Shut it Lenny!
... (Lenny)
Let go...
(Troopers leave the locker room)
*******
(Debriefing room)
Your report mentions the target was raising its dead but after you wiped them out again this new enemy took direct fire from your blasters and absorbed it. Then it charged towards your position while you shot at it again? Then you switched to depleted explosive rounds and prepared to fire once it got over the hill, but instead it runs into the hill causing it to explode towards your position. At that point you faltered in shock and your attack failed. The target then proceeded to attack you and Sargent Davis activates his energy wall in an attempt to stop it. He died after his energy wall gave out and the target consumed him? Then the target stopped and ignored everyone else as the rest of you retreated... Correct?

Sir. Yes, Sir. It has already been recorded via...
I know! I saw the satellite feed. It's just... Is this a new breed? Will there be more? And how the fuck do we kill it?!
Permission to speak sir?!
Granted Captain Martin.
This new enemy seems to be able to think and reason.
And your point Cpt. Martin?
This thing's intent is different from the others. It had no interesting us until we disturbed it. (Martin)
So we leave it alone and let it raise our enemies, so they can attack us?
No, sir! Permission to continue sir?!
Continue... Cpt. Martin
Sir. Yes, Sir! The target is not of this world... Sir... It came from space...
...
It's trajectory... (Holo screen projects targets landing point and proceeds to making trajectory... It starts to zoom out.. Passed the planet view, then solar view, then a trail leads itself to another solar system and appears to be from the recently recolonized world of Atari...)
I see... Cpt. Martin? I'll look into this when I have time. Head over to the docking center to receive your new teammate.
Sir. Yes, Sir! (All troops salute)
You are all dismissed!
*******
I'm back for a bit. Might come back and release next part if World Without Sound... At least after I charge my phone... Meaning sometime tomorrow.?.. Hopefully I can get back into the groove to write more frequently again! ?

A Tale of the Ages: Gods, Monster, and Heros
The past get's forgotten. Or so they say. Maybe they're right. Even the gods forgot the beginning, the reason it all started. But I refuse to forget, even if I'm driven mad by the memory. Salvation? It's pointless. No one is worth saving, but that doesn't mean they aren't worth helping. No one is a plaything, but everyone's a pawn in this game. I hate it. Who's playing? I don't know. I don't even know what the game really is. I gave up on figuring that out after a time. What I do know is that I want to tell you all a story. It has a beginning, a middle, and an end, as any good story should. But, I really don't think you'd keep listening if I told it in order. So, we will start at three points; you'll have to figure out where they are in the overall story. The story of Hal and instinct, a pair so close that they might as well have been one. The story of The Husk, a creature on a hunt that would span generations. The story of Mask and a hero. How one will come to learn of the other's past and the many faces they had. Do you know where you stand? Do you side with the gods, the hero, the demon king, the experiment, the cursed, the blessed, the monsters, the forgotten? Well? I know. You don't know anything yet, so you can't say. So, enter our world, and find out what side is what.
