Destiny of the Path

[KingAbbott]

Looking through the cockpit, the pilot known as Luis Polo, son of Ross Polo, glided past pirate after pirate. Beam after beam, the pirates fell to the devastation of the bomber. He set his sights on the hidden Rogue base of Buffalo but before he could even get the chance of venturing into the badlands, 'it' appeared. The same thing that almost destroyed his father and the same thing that killed his grandfather. A horror that was in front of his eyes was a Nomad, an alien capable of killing the humans. Luis awed at the size of the ship that was shadowing him in a blue glow.

"This is Officer Luis Polo, stand down and prepare to be taken to Fort Bush."

The Nomad would not listen to the demands, but within the mind of Luis, a fierce, eerie voice crept out of his mind.

"Bahshna enghthu'ah grin'tl'ab..."

A giant blue pulse fired from the front of the ship, heading for Luis. The ship swerved viciously and launched a missile at the ship. A bad mistake. As soon as the missile hit the strange hull of the ship, a Nomad Battleship along with 4 Nomad Gunboats appeared, pushing the badland rocks to the side and knocking one into Luis' ship, knocking out his shield and his communications relay. Luis dogfighted each of the ships, but the power of the Liberty guns could not penetrate the vastness of the Battleship and its Gunboats.

"Hey kid, need a hand?"

It was Sargeant Mark Anthon in his Battleship and his squad of 2 Gunboats. The fight was now fierce, fighters undocking from the Battleships from both ends and clashing with each other.

"There is too many sir, we need to fall back."
"Hold this position and do not retreat, we do not retreat until every last one is dead; you flee, you die. Luis, launch a torpedo into the front of the Battleship" shouted Mark Anthon.

"Don't you think the men have fought long enough in this forsaken place, or ARE YOU MENTAL!?" screamed Luis Polo.

"BOY, IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW ORDERS AND LAUNCH A TORPEDO INTO THAT DAMN BATTLESHIP, I WILL LAUNCH A VOLLEY OF LASERS INTO YOUR GOD DAMN COCKPIT, UNDERSTOOD?"

Luis had enough, there was a jumphole nearby which was uncharted by the Liberty forces, but he did not know where it lead. Luis fired a torpedo straight into the front of the Liberty Battleship, bypassing the shields and destroying Mark Anthon. The Nomads seem to have won. Luis took his chance and headed for the jumphole before the rest of the forces could find out he did that. He took the jumphole and ended up on the other side of the badlands, near to Zone-21. Suddenly, a Nomad, fully revealed, grabbed Luis by the neck and started to strangle him. Luis reached for his pistol but the nomad knocked him out.

During his unconciousness, the Nomad begun to infect him and attempt to mind control him. A Liberty Navy officer who also creeped aboard to assassinate Luis for his actions found the Nomad, took out his pistol and fired a laser straight through the brain of the Nomad.

It is now 1 year later since this occured, Luis has never fully recovered from the past. Unfortunately, every now and then, he will blurt something out in the language of the Nomads due to the fact he became Semi-Infected from the time, but it is not noticable. One day, the infection will spread until he becomes an infected, but now is not the time...
