User blog:Nikolai the Second/Scorched Earth (The Insurrection, Part 2)

(Its been a while but here it is.  The short anticipated sequel to the original that no one read.  This absoulutly undemanded and almost uncalled for sequel will be much more averagea and exceedingly mundane as the first.  So fasten your seat belt for a nice quiet road trip with no action or dialogue.  But just to keep you intrested there is a slow speed chase that will cement your eyes to the screen for about two seconds of captivating amazement and bad storytelling.)

(This nice car strolled across the countryside. Wait.  You didn't actually think I was serious, right?  Below is the actual origin story of Nikolai Pereshenko or at least part 2.)

(City of Oulo, Planet of New Helsinki, outer colony, UNSC controlled space, Halo Universe 2531)

Voice of Freedom "This is just the tip of the Spear."

Alexander Pereshenko looked wide eyed at the holographic projector, or HP for short. The news was unbelievable. But with such unannounced swiftness as the announcement had started it ended. The holographic projector went dark for one of the longest moments in Alexander's life. Alexander sat down breathlessly. He couldn't make out any words. He knew the shcool on the screen was Point Salo from his visits there and from the school's crest in the backround. Then an image of a news anchor appeared.

Anchor "It appears we are having some malfuctions--"

Alexander Pereshenko shut the holographic projector off. He talked into a headset that was connected to the rest of his immediate family. He makes sure they are ok before putting on a bullet proof vest and getting out his M6 pistol.

His captain of security barged into the room.

Captain of Security "This position is not secure.  I am ready to move you, sir."

Alexander Pereshenko "Thats what I was thinking.  We should pay those innies at Point Salo a visit."

Captain of Security "As always I advise you to not take the law into your hands and allow the proper athorities to respond."

Alexander "As always I'll do whatever the hell I see fit."

Captain of Security "As you wish.  Stay close to me, sir."

He turned around and ran infront of Alexander through the hallways. The duos footsteps echoed with every step. Running through the hallways reminded Alex of just how ghostly quiet the house was when it was only him and his personal protection. It also reminded him of just how alone he was after his wife moved out with the kids.

They reached the door leading outside. After some biometric scans of Alexander's eyeball and thumbprint the heavy metal door opened into the brisk summer night.

Alexander "Where are all the other gaurds?"

Captain of Security "They are trying to reach their families.  Not everyone can afford jammerproof, long-range communications for the whole family."

Alexander "I see.  Lets take the Cadillac."

Captain "Get down!"

The Captain saw a rocket swiftly moving towards the garage and uses his body to shield Alex from the blast. The shockwave hit both mens' ears like a ton of bricks. Half burned credit bills rain down upon them.

Alexander "Fine.  We'll take the civilian warthog! (Long pause) CAPTAIN!"

It was all but too clear that the captain had used his body to shield the mob boss from the blast. Alexander pushed his most loyal commrade off of himself and runs into the garage through a gauntlet of small arms fire.

He reached the warthog and pulled out his keyes. As he looked for the right one bullets pinged of his bullet proof windshield and the the screams of innocent people could be heard across the street. Alexander exclaims "Ah ha!" when he finds the right one and starts the truck up. He jams it into drive and guns it out of the garage as a second rocket hits the garage.

Alexander thinks hard about what his is about to do. He takes the safety off of Operation: Scorched Earth and tells his home A.I. to detonate the TNT underneath his house. He wanted to make sure nothing fell into enemy hands.

Alexander turned a corner at high speed and gunned the warthog down a side street. Alexander then pulled the rodeo to a stop for now. When Jake Stevens, Alexander's personal hitman, saw the civilian warthog stop outside his house he grabbed his emergency duffel bag, hurried outside and jumped in.

Jake "I didn't think I would see you here.  So whats the mission?"

Alexander (slamming on the gas peddle) "I know where the Insurrectionists call was made from.  Its a little school for kids with parents in my mob called Point Salo."

Jake "I'm in.  I am sure I will be rewarded handsomely."

Alexander "You will.  But there is something I just couldn't figure out about the voice of freedom.  He said '3 months.'  Why 3 months?"

Jake "Little know fact is the UNSC are positioning marines on this colony in about 3 months to counter the threat of the covenant."

Alexander (Putting them on a route out of town and towards Salo) "How do you know these things and others don't?"

Jake Stevens "These are senior level communications.  And I keep my mouth shut."

Two warthogs come up behind them.

Alexander "Unless it's September those are hostiles." Alexander brings it up to full speed just as machineguns rip through the pavement around the warthog. Jake Stevens gets his grenade launcher (http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/XM510_Multishot_Grenade_Launcher) out of his duffle bag and empties a drum on the warthogs. The lead warthog explodes and crahes into a nearby refueling station.

The other warthog's engines roar like a ferocious animal. It soon closes distance and comes up on the left side of  Alexander. Jake has a reloaded Grenade launcher but is cautious to use it at such a close distance. The driver slowly pulls up an assualt rifle with one hand. Alexander whips out his pistol and headshots the militiaman. The militiaman's head falls to the left as with the rest of his body. The warthog veers to the left and the gunner and passenger get out just in time to same themselves from a fiery death. Alexander doesn't stop.

Alexander "Nice shooting"

Jake Stevens "No thanks to your driving."

Alex "Well how much pratice do you have driving in the middle of the night in suburnan streets at 120 miles per hour?"

Jake Stevens "More if you didn't have me killing bad guys from nine to five everyday."

Alex "Yeah but you told me you liked you job?"

Jake Stevens "Mabye but not at one in the morning.  How long is the drive to Salo?"

Alex "About 6 hours.  I'll drive the rest of the way.  You had better get some shuteye."

Jake went into a comfortable postition in the passenger seat "I wouldn't be up this time of night if it hadn't been for you, you know?"

Alexander "I don't think it is to speculative to think they would send two warthogs to kill you."

Jake (indignified) "Two warthogs!  I am worth at least thrice that.  I am insulted."

Alexander Pereshenko "You should be.  These guys are sure to underestimate us in the future."

Jake Stevens fell alseep.
