Okay, ima going to try and introduce a new series, Mars Mission. They will all be about, well, Mars. Please enjoy the first of my series, Stranded.


Mars Mission I: Stranded

"Five."
"Four."
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
"Liftoff."

The rockets from team Gator's, Alpha's, Delta's, Breach's, and Fox's rockets bursted to on. Their ships rised slowly, and were soon out of Earth's orbit before anyone knew it. The year was 2068, but not as advanced as everyone thought it to be. True, there is now laser guns. And spaceships to outer space, though actually only the Moon was fully conquered. Spaceships for long distance journys were equipped with a special fossil fuel, which could be made from most pine tree bark. This fuel, called F10 Rocket Fuel could blast ships fast. Way fast. On average, a rocket in 2068 would take 1.5 year, but with F10 Fuel, it would take an estimated 37 days. Yeah. Fast. There were no hovercars, or teleportation. But, still, the Earth was pretty impressive. Anyway, back to the story.

Joe Smith was on Squadren Gator, along with 4 other Squads, heading to Mars. This would be the first military flight to Mars, actually. Small encampments that were already set up on Mars, had reported attacked of alien species. ALien species, at this time was no laughing matter. NASA(yeah it's still NASA) had lost numerous ships due to alien encounters. Actually, alien's technology was barely as futuristic as ours.

The sound was loud, pinging Joe's ears. After the ship was in clear, safe space, Joe took off his supplies, and meeted with other Gator members.

"And there goes, the first military spacecraft to go to Mars!" Said an announcer. Everyone cheered, except for Marge Smith. She was Joe's wife, and had heard of the aliens. She just hoped that Joe would come back, in one piece.


And there you have it, Mars Mission 1: Stranded.

I will be GMing, as well controlling some characters, Joe and Marge.

Okay, RP has officially started. Start posting, and stuff.
Have Fun :)


Joe met up with the other members of Gator. As he did, he took out a picture of his family. marge and their three sons. He smiled. Joe looked out the window after checking the picture. He could see Alpha and Fox , gliding smoothly with special rocket fuel pounding off the back of their rockets.

"Well, this is it." Joe said. "We are officially on the first military trip to Mars. Hey, anyone help me with this thing?" Joe held a standard military-issued blaster, an AF-18 Shotgun. It was certainly more... long-rangable then most shotguns. Joe had not yet been properly trained with it, as the instructor has a lazy asshole. Joe could remember the day.

"Hold this," The instructor said. He handed a guy a shotgun. "Now come up here, ill show you how to use it." The guy went, nervous. The instructor yawned. "Ye, pull this trigger to shoot, and this is to reload." The instructor emptied a clip and put a new clip in, albeit slowly. "Gay..." Joe whispered. No shit they had learned how to use guns, he needed to know advanced options. "And for the target you-" The instructor's voice wore away. "Just... Ill give you all a gun and you shoot it. Hard?" He gave everyone an AF-18, and said, very lazily, "Shoot the targets." Wow, Joe thought.

That day was slow. Anyway, this was the real deal, gliding through space. "Sure... a member of Gator answered. They went to a room, and the member taught Joe the advanced options, and more.

William stood up, courageously he loaded his AR-34, he didn't know what he was going to face... but, so far there could be some survivors and the rules of engagement still mattered. William prepared to make a speech to Delta squad, but got side tracked looking at Breach preparing to move onto the surface. William then looked straight into his squad, his faithful companion, John Walker was next to him, carrying the same weapon as William. William Started his speech.

" Members of Delta squad, I come to you as a leader, and to let you all know we do not know what lies on mars, only to that I will lead you in and out.. hopefully alive... our motto is that we will not leave a soldier behind, the motto still counts if the soldier is dead or alive, we will bring them back to their families, now prepare to move out.

William looked into his confident soldiers faces, he then looked into John's, saying this " You are all dismissed." He then turned to Breach Squad.

The Alpha Squadron is on its way to Mars. Its spacecraft, an interstellar class NeoGravit` X940 is two hundred thousand feet long, and four hundred feet high, and has the capacity of one hundred thousand astro-soldiers. Fifteen hypersonic engines are mounted at the bottom, each fully loaded with F10 space aviation fuels for the upward boom, twenty hypersonic engines are mounted at the side wings for navigation, fully loaded with F99 space aviation fuels.

The ship commander, captain Frankz Lionheart, is standing at the top deck, his eyes burning with passion while holding the Alpha Flag.

The time is near, though Frankz happily. I can prove to all of Earth that the Alphas are the number one there is. Once I get my hands on those nasty lil' martians.
He was taken back to the real world from his reverie when a loud bang of the paging system announced: "Alpha Squadron NeoGravit` X940, traveling at six hundred thousand miles per hour, will be approaching planet Mars in five days. Brace yourselves as we are nearing the famous Astral Rockery, as loose meteorites will suddenly bump the ship at unexpected times. No need to worry though, the fifteen thousand meters thick steel wall of the ship can resist blows of more than five hundred megatons, so there will be no damage everytime a meteorite hits. Thank you."
So, Frankz thought. The famous astral rockery is near. I need to take a photo shoot of those little babies. As Frankz was looking far beyond the interstellar sea, a sudden cloud of meteorites appeared out of nowhere, bombarding the ship with sharp rocks and heavy blows. Before Frankz realized that the ship was already in the astral rockery, and before he realized that he was the last one outside the ship, a meteorite hit him hard across the chest, sending him tumbling down the ship, into the eternal darkness beyond... lost in the ethereal darkness... forever.

OOC: Isnt that a little big? I mean the little shuttles are for basic transportation, nothing else. It barely fits 7 people. Think, Saturn V.

William stared into the darkness, seeing how the ship was beginning its descent to mars, the pilot told everyone to strap in, hopefully we were gonna be alright, I just sat there thinking, why does this have to happen? William thought to himself for a while not noticing anything.

William stared at his weapon, he's starting to see things, blood covered the weapon, William's chest cover with blood, a wound hit his chest, even more blood leaked out, he looked and said " No, not now!" John stared at him, saying " What the hell is going on? " William started to sweat like crazy, an alien was standing over him holding a pistol to his face saying " Die, human!. " Quickly he tried to grab his assault rifle, but he kicked it away.
