Alright, so I've decided to create more characters that I will be swapping in and out of my fanfiction, as I've been thinking of new people I'd like to add. With each of these characters will come a chapter or two, and a poll to see which one is your favorite. I'm starting the first one now...
Danny has only known one thing about himself from before his death.
[spoiler]His name.[/spoiler]
Everything else, his ghost told him or he's picked it out of the computer near his resurrection location on the moon. All he knows is that he's possibly going to die again.
"What, the hell?" Danny asked himself, as he attempted to stand wincing in pain. "Owww!"
Danny gave up trying to walk and started crawling to one item that instantly drew his attention; a foot locker with his name on it.
Danny opened the locker and found four items.
A scout rifle,
a pair of camouflaged grey plated clothes,
a grey and black metal army hat, and finally,
a oxygen generating gas tank with a lower face mask that straps on. The hat has a little plexiglass visor that comes down from inside of the helmet and a night vision goggle attachment that clicks down into place.
"Wow, this is fancy stuff..." Danny said, admiring the equipment.
"Danny. [i]Danny.[/i] DANNY! You've been ignoring me for about an half an hour ogling that armor." His ghost said, annoyed. "You’re wounded. That's not good, we should get you back to the tower..."
"How?" Danny asked, putting on the armor and helmet, strapping on the face mask, and strapping the rifle to his back.
"Well, we should check for other guardians, radio into the vanguard, and find a way off of here, I'm just surprised that the life support in this pod works..." His ghost trailed off as he hovered over to the pipes to scan them.
"Alright!” Danny said, bored. “I've got an idea. I’ll go look for help, and you turn this into a base of operations, deal? In case I don’t find anything" Danny asked eager to explore outside of this metal cube shaped room with a pallet for a bed, a door leading to who knows where, a staircase in the corner leading into darkness, and a door leading outside.
"Sure, sure..." his ghost responded distractedly.
"Ok, see you then, I'm going." Danny said opening the airlock door and stepping into the chamber, where oxygen was pumped out and another door opened exposing a stark and beautiful landscape. He stepped outside and began walking south, how he knew this, he had no clue. He kept walking until he saw an outcropping of buildings, with a rover parked.
Upon closer inspection he noticed a skeleton underneath it. "Poor fellow." Danny muttered to himself as he entered the building. He found a sniper rifle sitting on the counter, Danny picked it up, as well as some glimmer on the table and walked outside. Seeing another building he went to go in, but found the door locked.
"That's strange..." Danny muttered confused.
"Huh. Looks like I'll have to force the door open." Danny said preparing to open the door by punching it in, a talent he had already used in the walls of other abandoned buildings. As the door opened, all the pressure in the pod escaped, along with a few items, along with a crate of bacon.
When Danny opened the door he saw a room that was clearly used recently. There were pictures on the walls, and a flaming cannon he assumed to be trouble.
Fearing possible enemies/people-who-don't-like-trespassing he closed the door and hurried to a vantage point where he could watch who went in.
"Who is she?" Danny asked himself as he saw a female walking into the structure he just left.
Danny then noticed: she checked the lock and had a confused stature, looked at the box of bacon, panicked, and then he watched as the female looked at, then ran towards the building near the rover, and walked inside.
"I'm doomed!" Danny thought to himself as she spotted him and started... flying? "How the hell?" Danny thought as she lifted high into the sky getting closer and closer with every jump.
Mesmerized by this, he just stood there and watched awkwardly as she readied her weapon and sprayed several bullets towards him.
"SHIT, SHIT, SHIT!" Danny said to himself dropping to the ground instinctively, realizing why she shot at him... his helmet must look like an enemy figure. That, or the fact he depressurized her pod. Danny started crawling away on his back and fired a few shots from his rifle desperately trying to crawl with his one good leg to the ledge so he can slide to relative safety.
Getting closer, the female figure's shots got closer and closer to hitting home. With one final burst, he sent himself tumbling down the hill... fast. When Danny reached the bottom he proceeded to pull two of the high pressure oxygen canisters off his belt and duct tape them to each leg.
"God, I hope this works!" Danny said as the figure walked up to him gun trained at him.
"Who are you? Why were you in my pod?" The figure said behind a golden visor.
"Umm, I've got... a flight to catch..." With that Danny shot each gas canister and went flying backwards towards a drop off, firing shots to keep her pinned down so he can make his escape. As Danny flew off the cliff, he called his ghost for a transmit back. He disappeared into thin air and rematerialized ball at his "home" panting. He recalled the female shouting “WAIT!”.
"What happened to you?" His ghost asked, fearful of possible enemies.
"Well, I found some huts somethingsomethingsomething opened the door, realized it's someone else’s, went and hid to watch, they spotted me, and shot at me, I shot back, then you transmatted me out as I was falling off a cliff." Danny explained, he then fell onto the bed and fell asleep.
“Crap, this bed sucks....”
