Okay this is my first story ever so its probably going to be pretty bad but I’m going to try my best.
Prologue,
The room was dark and musty. Rats crawled everywhere and screams of pain continuously echoed off the bleak walls. One man sat at a nearby table preparing to meet someone.
"Bring prisoner 478902 in," said the man. The guards quickly departed to the cells. Five minutes later they brought in a man who looked the age of twenty because of his dark hair and wrinkle less skin. They shoved him into the chair brutally trying to antagonize him. His ragged clothes barely clung to his beaten body.
"Leave us,” the man said coldly, ” The guards left and the two men were alone. The interrogator began.
"Tell me immediately where your pesky friends and family are hiding"The man being interrogated shook his head.
"Tell me now!" the interrogator added with more force. The man shook his head again.
"If you don't I will personally hunt them down find them and kill them all in front of you!" shouted the interrogator"If you tell us everything we will spare them." The man looked up and spit in the interrogator's face.
"Your promises mean nothing to me, the only reason I'm here is because you see me as a political threat."
"You have sealed your fate then. They will die now, every last one of them," said the interrogator as he walked away. Before he left he heard the man say something.
"Not if I kill you first," said the man as he lunged at the interrogator. Before he could reach him he fell down, crippled from his previous injuries.
"Guards take this pitiful creature to it's cell," added the interrogator coldly. Before he left he heard something.
"I swear I will become your worst nightmare, the worst thing you could possibly imagine," said the man before the guards took him away. The words sent a small tingle down the interrogator’s spine.
Chapter 1
Three years before...
"You are an abomination, the only reason you live is because you are here in the military" Tai would always remember those words from his fellow commander. He had long since gained the privilege of becoming an officer.
Tai glanced at his picture in his apartment below it was his code number: 478902. In that picture he wasn't wearing his crutch that he usually carried around. Tai had learned since arriving in the military that he had a birth defect. That birth defect had affected his leg nearly rendering it useless.
Once inside the training center he stepped into the hologram generator and began his training session. He maneuvered his mech with excellence around laser barriers while gunning down enemy targets. He ran into a grand total of one wall. Impressive he thought to himself as he went out of the training area.
"Hey look, white trash is back again," said some of the soldiers as he came out.
"I told you not to call me that stupid nickname idiots," said Tai as he began approaching him. They all immediately backed off.
"It seems your reputation for injuring people comes in handy," said Derrek.
It's good to have at least one friend around here thought Tai to himself.
"Hey buddy how's it going," asked Tai.
"Fine, you?" asked Derrek.
"I'm doing fine as well," replied Tai "You want to head to..."
A familiar sound then rang in his ears…the alarm bell! Tai and Derrek both rushed to their mechs, for a moment Tai stood there beholding his mech. Boy the new paint on those shoulder cannons looks nice, Titan G7 here I come thought Tai. He quickly jumped into his mech and started it up.
“Why did you sound the alarm bell," Tai asked the commander over the intercom.
“We spotted some stealth ships in a nearby sector, they could be hostile," replied the commander.
“That’s it," said Tai cockily.
“Just be careful," said the commander wearily.
“I’m always careful," replied Tai’s friend Anika over the intercom. Tai saw Anika in her cockpit and sighed. Anika my cluttering friend thought Tai.
“Anika do you always have to clutter your cockpit," asked Tai.
“It’s natural," she replied while looking with her blue eyes at Tai.
“Looks like miss clutter is here to join us," added Derrek. They soon after reached the sector. They were flying in fog and could barely see a neighborhood below.
Chapter 2
“This is where the possibly hostile ships were found, try to talk to them but if they fire you may retaliate. Good luck," said the commander.
“I’ve found their signal and I’m sending it to you Tai," said Derrek. Tai tried to contact them but got no response.
“They’re not responding," replied Tai. Anika yawned.
“This is boring aren’t we on a mission or…” Anika began. She was cut off by two bullets ricocheting off her mech.
“Targets found objective destroy," Tai heard over the enemy signal.
“They’re hostile alright," added Derrek.
Tai pointed his mech’s guns left and right and fired hoping to see some movement. Stupid stealth planes thought Tai as he fired again. He then saw them, about five fighter planes.
“Derrek I have a visual and I’m firing," Tai shouted over the intercom. He fired and hit them sending them scorching to the Earth.
“Whoa watch it you almost shot me,” exclaimed Derrek as his mech narrowly avoided Tai’s shots. Tai rolled his eyes.
“Derrek you can easily avoid a shot like that," said Tai.
“Well, yeah but I might not be ready next time," replied Derrek. Suddenly Tai heard two bullets ricochet off the back of his mech.
“What the…” Tai began.
“Tai you’ve got one right behind you," Derrek cut him off.
“I got him," said Anika as she fired. She missed and hit Tai’s engine. Tai began descending.
“Anika, what on earth did you do," said Tai angrily. Anika laughed nervously.
“Sorry but I think I missed,” she said.
“Tai you’re starting to fall try to use your emergency thrusters," shouted Derrek.
“Thrusters will be active in two minutes," his computer said to him. Tai banged his fist on it.
“Stupid computer," he added.
“Tai you still have the enemy fighter on your tail and he’s trying to disable your thrusters," shouted Derrek. Tai was able to move the legs of the mech to flip it over thus making the front side of his mech facing the fighter. He began trying to shoot down the fighter while trying not to black out from the speed at which he was falling.
One minute,” his computer beeped. Tai ignored it and fought on. He was closing in on the ground very quickly. He could even see the ground.
“3…2…1…activation complete thrusters online," said his computer. Tai immediately used them to flip his mech forward thus plunging the feet down. He then shot down the enemy fighter with ease. He was able to stable his fall so that he didn’t cause too much damage. Tai sighed. Way too close he thought to himself as became airborne again. He regrouped with Derrek and Anika who were both happy to see that he was alive and they headed back to the outpost.
