XXXXXXXAkiko could feel her feet on the ground below her as she walked among the rubble looking for something to eat. Anything to eat. She didn’t need to eat but it made her feel more human on this forsaken planet. She stepped over dead plants and branches. Everywhere around her seemed to be filled with death, destruction, and mutated animals that wanted her for dinner. Everything about this seemed so unreal but every cut and bruise proved to her how real it really was. This was like something you would read about, never thinking it could actually happen. Aliens coming from another world searching for something only to destroy it and move on. She brushed some of her damaged hair out of her face as she continued. Her hair was spilled out down her back and almost reached the floor. She could cut it but she didn't feel she needed to look nice for anyone since there was no one. She walked to the edge of a cliff and she saw a tree hanging slightly over the side. On one of the branches there hung a small bright red apple. A treat. There weren't many times she could find something as special as the apple partly because most of the trees had died off first after her family.
XXXXXXXShe heard a loud rumbling noise coming from the sky. She looked up, from where she was climbing onto the tree, to see a large air ship. Does it see me? Will it save me? Her thoughts raced as she watched the craft. It had been ever since she heard the familiar sound of an engine, or even the thought that someone was coming. She quickly climbed the rest of the way up the tree and grabbed a hold of the apple. She jumped down and bolted after the ship. She thought of screaming, of waving her arms around franticly but she thought it was just best to wait till it landed, if it landed, and save her energy to run after it. It wasn't going that fast anyway. Is it landing, Oh god, if your there still looking after me, let this be my ticket out of this hell hole, she thought running with what little energy she had. She did forget to sleep her normal hours because of a mutated bull that wanted to eat her. She didn't care about the rocks that dug into her feet, or the blood she knee was coming from them. She was going to get saved and she couldn't wait.

As the Thunderhawk touched down on the remote planet, pistons screaming as they took the weight of the enormous ship, it's rear assault hatch slammed down and the dragon warriors stepped out. Armed to the teeth with rifles, and mono-molecular blades, these warriors are the best Ultear Prime has to offer. The soldiers spread out executing a perfect landing maneuver and scanning the environment for hostiles. One soldier, denoted by his right shoulder plate painted white with the symbol of 2 snakes wrapped around a center pole, had in his hand an auspex, a personal device capable of many different utilities. He was scanning the area for movement and checking the atmosphere for any sort of pollutants.
"The Area is clear and the atmosphere is breathable sergeant" said the man carrying the auspex.
A tall man walked down the ramp as the engines on the transport ship slowly shut down. "Thank you Dak'ir. Squad you may remove your helmets." There was the sound of air locks being released as each member of the squad removed their helmets and equipped them to the mag-locks on their thighs never once taking their eyes from the area they were supposed to cover.
Priad stepped off the ship just as the ramp was closing back up. He had his sword, Sea Salt, strapped across his back and his boltgun in his hand. He was prepared to engage any hostiles this planet had while he searched for the source of the psychic signal being relayed to the ship hanging in low orbit over the planet. The signal was very faint and the astropaths might have missed it if they were not already in the system doing the work of the Emperor.
Just as he was going to have the squad move out in search of this signal he sees movement off to his right. Dak'ir screamed "Contact! West about 500yards and closing!"

XXXXXXXAkiko saw the ship land a bit away but kept up her speed. Even though every muscle in her body seemed to scream out now. She dodge trees, stumps, animals, everything and soon she was standing a little aways from the ship. She saw the men standing there armed with different types of weapons and she wasn't sure if they were here to save her or here to kill her. She decided to take a round about way there. She didn't know they had equipment that could see where she was though so she thought she was being sneaky. She turned to her left and head up to the cliff that sat behind the ship. She climbed like it was nothing. She knew this planet like t he back of her hand and she knew what to do and where to go.
XXXXXXXShe climbed all the way around and then sat on the edge looking down at all of them. She tilted her head to the side when she saw a man with lovely red hair step out. He had such a stare to him that just intrigued her. She hadn't seen a man with such strong eyes. Her mind wondered a little with the thoughts of how to get them to see her and not kill her. She didn't want that to be the only way off this planet.
XXXXXXXMaybe I could somehow get into the ship without them seeing me.... she thought to herself as she slowly leaned forward. She decided to just climb down since no one seemed to notice her. She turned her back to the ship as she made her way down.

"Squad, Charlie assault formation. I do not want this thing harmed till we have assertained weather or not it is the thing emanating the signal" said Priad. "Dak'ir i want you to take Borus and Armatheon and get behind this thing and cut off its escape. The rest of you with me."
As the squad spread out the thing got closer. Dust was seen in the distance as the animal charged strait for them. When it was just beyond their weapons maximum range it came into focus. A rampaging bull the size of a small house was heading strait at them. It had huge horns curling around its head and had, what appeared to be, a barbed tail. The soldiers only came up to this monster's shoulder. They began to fire but the xenos kept charging despite the wounds inflicted to it by the soldiers.
"Tyrion, this is Priad, i need aerial support." Gunfire could be heard in the background. "We have unknown xenos approaching rapidly. Appears to be a mutated bull of some sort. Small arms fire is useless. Heavy guns are needed to bring this beast into the light of the Emperor."
"Confirmed, bringing her around now sergeant."
"Alright, Sea Serpents we have to hold this thing back till Tyrion can bring the gunship to bear. Keep this thing busy I will engage it at close range."
Priad leapt the stump he was hiding behind and charged the bull drawing Sea Salt as he ran at the beast. Not accustomed to its prey attacking back the xenos slowed its approach enough for Dak'ir to put a few rounds into its chest. The beast, now thoroughly angered, charged the new threat.
Priad leaps up as the beast swiped at him with its horns. Spinning around mid-flight, he was able to active the rune powering his swords disruption field, and sliced down the flank of the xenos causing it to go into a blood rage. He landed lightly, but the bull was already on top of him. It lowered its head and tried to run him through with its horns but he deflected it. The bull twisted at the last second causing him to lose his grip on Sea Salt. The sword embedded itself in the ground several meters from him. He looked up just in time to see the bull rise onto its hind legs to stomp him into the ground.

XXXXXXXAkiko turned her head to see the men fighting with a rather large and angry looking bull. She walked closer to see they were trying to use there weapons against the thing but it didn't seem to notice anything that they were doing. She slowly lowered herself into a crouching potion. She let her hand lay flat against the rocky ground below her as she waited for a small opening. She watched as all the men started to try to figure out how to fight him till she saw what looked like the leader start to fight him one on one with a sword. She watched the sword fly from his hand and she took that as her invitation.
XXXXXXXShe bolted forward moving around the men hoping they wouldn't attack her as she headed towards them. She pulled a sharpened rock from her small bag that she had on her left side as she closed in on them. With as much force as she could get she pushed her body forward and pushed the man right through the bulls leg and away from the mans death. She turned her body slowly around so that she was facing the bulls stomach. Before it knew what she was doing she took her weapon and stabbed it right where the heart lye. She pulled it down its chest and through its guts making sure that she got everything the bull needed to live. She felt blood and all different stuff pour from the bull's body as she quickly rolled to her side and away from the bulls body. She watched as it made strange noises before falling over and dying.
XXXXXXXShe panted heavily as she slowly stood up. She sighed softly realizing she had made a huge mess and ruined a dinner she could have eaten but since it was already enraged she didn't want to take the chance in killing it cleanly. She brushed off her arms as much as she could but knew that it wasn't going to come off without getting a bath. She looked at the men and blinked a few times before going over and grabbing the discard sword. She turned and looked over at the red head. She walked over to him but stopped a few steps away and set it down.
XXXXXXX"Here. You dropped this." she said with a small smile on her lips. "I was wondering if you guys could give me a ride out of here? Its a rather lonely place here by myself." she said. Her hair was sticking everywhere from the blood. Dirt and gravel was mixed in there. Her clothing was ripped and barely looked like what it really was. She had tied a ripped up shirt around her chest, binding it so that it wouldn't be all over the place when she was running, and a pair of ripped shorts.

In a private chat to Dak'ir "Did you register her on the auspex?"
"No sir. She showed up out of nowhere."
Dusting himself off, Priad stands up and looks down at the little girl noting her rather shabby appearance, and apparent good health, despite some minor cuts and bruises. She doesn't look like much but he is getting a sense of unease when he looks at her, like she is more then she appears to be. He had watched her as she shoved him out of the way and slayed the xenos with nothing more than a sharp rock. He must agree she has some special qualities to her.
Grabbing his sword, he commanded his squad to watch for more enemies and called Dak'ir over.
"On behalf of my men, I wish to thank you for your help." He smiled at the girl while signaling to Dak'ir to check if she was any sort of qsychic or any kind of threat. Dak'ir shook his head after fiddling with his auspex a little. It was acting strange whenever he tried to scan the girl, like there was some sort of interference blocking its ancient mechanics from working on this single person.
"My name is Priad, brother-sergeant of the the troops you see before you. We have come in search of a psychic emanation coming from this planet. You wouldn't happen to know anything about this would you?"

She tilted her head slightly to the side. "No, I have no idea what your talking about. I haven't meet another person on this planet in forever." she said as she stretched out and felt a sharp pain. She tilted her head back and saw a rather large scrap going down her back. She started to laugh at herself as she shook her head. "Well that's what I get for sliding on rocks." she said as she tried to relax. She was really not used to this many people around her and she didn't want to freak out on them.
"Would you mind if you let me use ur bathroom? I would like to clean my wounds up and have a nice warm place to sleep." she said as she stretched out. That's when she realized that her apple was missing. "Oh no!" she cried as she franticly started to look around for it. She looked around where she went sliding then around the back of the ship but she didn't find it. When she turned and saw a red something in the bush she ran over to it and picked it up without a second though. When she picked up a huge spider she threw it back into the woods and continued her search. She eventually found it hiding under the ship. She picked it up and stared at it happily then went back to Priad.
"Oh! I don't think introduced myself. My name is Akiko Min. I'm one of the last humans, well humans to us, left on this planet." she told him as she waited to hear if he would let her go on the ship and have a way out of this place. She was sure she could kill him if she needed to take the ship but she wasn't sure she could kill him and his friends. She may need to cause an uproar with the animals to get them all to go down. Well she let her mind wonder as she tried to stay relax even though she knew she didn't look it. She hid the apple under her arm ready to protect it from anyone who wanted to steal it from her. She would bit and kick if needed to keep it to herself.
