~~~~Prologue~~~~

I feel my stomach churn as the dim, gloomy, elevator pulls us down, to whatever lies beneath and our key to home. The nervousness must be showing, even with this poor lighting because the Knight across from me says,
“You aright there Echo?”
“Yeah, just a little nervous.” I respond with doubt in my voice.
“Hah, aren’t we all, don’t worry we’ll be fine, we are the finest squad in the military. Show some Alpha pride!” replied the other Knight with enthusiasm.
“Yeah, I guess so thanks Prime.”
Prime, he always knows what to say, is a strategic genius and leads our squad, Alpha Squad.
“You guys are whimps.” Says a hefty voice, it comes from the Knight in brightly colored crimson armor. “I don’t know about you but I’m going down there, getting that mysterious power source, putting her in the ship and getting out of here.”
“Sure Maxy, you do that.” The calm knight next to me responds. The elevator fills with laughter.
“Eh! I thought I told you not to call me that!”
Maximus, hands down the best soldier here, maybe even the whole Armada. A nice guy if you get to know him. The calm one is Rocky, I’ve never seen him angry once in my life or miss a shot with his guns. The elevator starts filling with light, Prime motions us to ready our weapons. But nothing could of prepared us for what we saw next. Grass.

~~~~Chapter 1: Recon~~~~

“Uhh….. do you guys see that?” said Maximus, the one with the bright Spiral Sallet and Cuirass.
“Wait a minute we see the grass, but now that I think of it where is the light comi…..oh my god.” Added Rocky wearing a similar armor to Maximus but in light-blue and white.
“Th-The Sky!?” I finally manage to spit out, my blue armor was special made by a friend but resembles Rocky’s and Maximus’ armor.
“I wonder if we were in a mou-”says rocky but doesn’t get to finish.
“It isn’t real….. none of this is real.” Interrupts Prime. He holds his sword over his head and jams into the ground. I have to admit he looked really cool with his with his grey and blue Azure Guardian armor. Only the higher ups are granted that kind of equipment. His sword comes up with a bunch of metallic pieces sputtering out.
“Just look over there for example you’d fall off if you keep walking” Prime adds, while pointing at an area where the lands seems to just stop. It looks like someone just carved out a path for us to follow.
“But who would build all of this?” I ask.
“And how?” Rocky follows up.
“Let’s find out. I see some wild animals up ahead, so take your weapons out just in case.” Replies Prime.
“Yes, sir.” The rest of us say in harmony. We all get our great Defenders and Caliburs ready. Except for Rocky he has a Blaster, they gave it to him because of his superior aim and skill with a gun. Prime also has tempered Calibur instead of the normal one.
“They look like canine creatures sir, they have a yellowish hue.” Rocky says. We start moving towards the beasts, the artificial grass crunching beneath our feet, and the ominous sound of a large machine.
“Don’t attack, unless attacked first.” Prime orders.
“Yes, Sir.” Comes the expected reply. We are getting close to the beasts now, one of them turns around, and leaps at Maximus it opens its mouth and shows its sharp teeth and strong jaws. Before it has a chance to bite Maximus, Rocky shoots its cheek. It drops to floor the stunned. With a quick slash of his Calibur Maximus finishes the job.
“Definitely hostile. There are more of them too.” I say. We look around at the rest of the creatures; they have barred teeth and are slowly walking toward us in preparation for attack.
“DF4!” Prime shouts. We all put our backs to each other and activate our shields right before the other canines attack. They bounce off, howling rapidly in anger. Then we launch our counter attack me, Prime, and Maximus unleash a fury of sword slashes and stabs while Rocky gives us supporting fire. It only takes a few Seconds to the dispatch our enemies.
“Hmmm, those are the weirdest wolves I have ever seen in my life.” Prime says after a long pause. Rocky chuckles.
“We have to name them something, how about Cradle wolf?” says Rocky.
“You have no imagination at all!” I say, we all start laughing.
“I know how about Wolvers?” Maximus replies.
“Ok, any objections? ...Then wolvers it is.” Prime declares.
“Well we better get going we are here to scout out this place and I doubt these creatures are the only type here” says Rocky.
“He’s right, Maximus go collect the fur, it could be useful in making clothes.” Prime orders.
“What? Why do I have to do it, I’m not some sheep shearer!” Maximus replies.
“Because I said so, are you disobeying an order solider?” Prime questions. Grumbles can be heard from Maximus as he starts collecting the fur, the rest of us head off. We keep on walking with no interruptions until I spot a gate.
“I wonder if there’s anyone living here.” Rocky says.
“If there are people here, I hope they don’t attack us.” I say.
“Agreed, anyway this gate is the only way forward so I hope we can-” Prime doesn’t get to finish.
“HEEEEEY! I’M BACK!” says a figure far off in the distance, in the direction we came from. We stop for a while to let him catch up. The figure turns out to be Maximus as we all expected.
“Hey, huff puff… guys.” He takes a long pause to regain his breath. “I got the furs, and some fangs and bones!” Maximus finally sputters out.
“What did you butcher them!? How did you do it that fast!?” I exclaim.
“My fine swordsman’s ship allowed me to carve out a wolvers hide in one fell swoop. Do the math yourself” Maximus says proudly.
“Show off. Now what do we do about the gate?” Rocky replies. I wander off to the gate. It’s all black with pointy ends. I place my arms as far as I can reach on the gate and try to pull myself up, I almost reached the top when I fall and hit the ground.
“Aww, you almost had it let me show you how a real pro does it.” Maximus says.
“Wait, I don’t think there’s a need for that Maxy.” I reply. While laying down I can see a red circular button on the ground. It must have been hidden by the grass. I get up and push it down with my foot as I expected the gate opened.
“It’s Maximus, do I have to sound it out for you, MAX-UHH-MISS!” replies Maximus unaware that the gate is open.
“Good work Echo, let’s go on me.” Says Prime.
“Yes, Sir!”
We head through the gate a short while later we find more proof of civilization.
“Stop enemy torrents, 10, 12, and 2 o’clock. Rocky can you get a clear shot they haven’t detected us yet.” Whispers Prime.
“Uh I should be able to, it might detect me after I fire at it though, be prepared to shield protect.” Rocky whispers back.
“Ok, good now…” Prime didn’t get to finish his sentence, because a tree fell on him and then retracted right before my eyes.
