Quiet As Death
Chapter 1:
The dropship touched down onto Harr, dirt and foilage being burnt or blown away from the landing site.  As the dust settled the darkened silohette of the small ship shone against the moon, metal plates bouncing light off revealing that this construction was not a natural formation.  There was a slow clicking noise, as of locks being pulled aside, and then a hatched open on the side of the craft, lowing a ramp untill it met the ground, digging into the rocks then stopping.
Five shadows descended the ramp, ducking down as their feet touched ground then moving silently into a close group of trees.  A light flickered then came to life, illuminating the 113th squad, crouched within the foilage, Jade holding the torch in her hand as Colonel Liquid examined some paper in his hand.
"O.k, Bam and Theo, I want you two to move around the left side of this island, we're three miles from our target so if we keep the pace up we should get there within the hour.  Jade and Doc, I need you two to come with me, we're going straight towards our target, then we're going to cut around to the rear and see if we can find some way in.  Remember, this is only the start of this mission, so I don't want to see anyone going nuts and wasting ammo on people, we only shoot once their military forces know we're on the planet, in other words, if anyone or anything needs dispatching, doing it quietly and hand-to-hand, that means knives in your case Doc, ok?"
Everyone nodded, looking into the forest then standing up, checking their equiptment and moving a little deeper into the undergrowth.  Liquid stood up also, stuffing the map into one of his pockets then signalling to the dropship pilot that he could go.
The dust picked up again as the dropship engine darted into life, flames coming from the rear of the ship as it slowly lifted off the gruond then flew up into the blackened sky.  It had taken them 3 hours to find a spot to land on the planet, which allowed night to seep slowly in, it wasn't a bad thing though, the squad preferred working at night.

Bam and Theo walked slowly through the small bushes and trees surrounding the edge of the island, making sure to keep within the dark shadows cast by the trees so no one on the beach or on any of the distant ships could see them.  Bam stopped for a second, looking out over the see and staring at the small twinkles of light shining off battle ships, cruise ships and other boats that literred the sea's surface, then shook his head remembering that their dropship had a cloaking field, it was impossible to see while it was flying, so having warships floating around wouldn't have helped this planet spot their approach.  It didn't seem right, it was too easy to get onto an opposing planet, and almost as easy to destroy it.  He cracked his knuckles, he wasn't growing tired of being in the squad, it's just that he constantly needed action, it was like a lust for him, a craving to destroy any enemy, and he secretly wished that soon, someone would spot him so he could literally put the guys head up his ass.
Theo was thinking things entirely different, he was thinking about how he first got into 113th squad a few years back, how he'd managed to single handedly decimate an enemy power plant by fooling the enemy into thinking he was going to the top of the building when in fact, he had gone down and planted the explosives, escaped through a second floor window and managed to dissapear from radar before the whole thing exploded.  Then he wondered if he'd ever get to do it again, he'd only done it single handedly last time because the rest of his squad, H.A.F 57th Reconnaisance Squad, had been exploring the land for more buildings and he'd been left to check the surrounding area they had landed at and happened to come across the power plant.  Destroying it had earned him a medal of valour and a one way ticket into the Bloodhunters.
They continued along their path, checking their radar every few minutes to make sure nothing was around as the sea darkened more to the night.

Jade, Liquid and Doc had only gone a few yards from the landing zone when they happened across some soldiers camping in a small clearing.  They were all sitting around talking and roasting a pig over a fire.  The light of the flames illuminating their faces, one soldier had a few scars across his face, signifying he'd seen a few fights and lived to talk about it, the other soldiers looked preety green, listening intently on his battle stories and looking around a few times into the forest for shadows, movement and twitching at the slightest noise.  Jade ducked herself lower, moving slowly and carefully across the floor around to the side of the small group, keeping inside the blackness the forest created but keeping clear eyesight on the target.  Once she'd reached a closer proximity, she drew a knife from her shoulder straps, moving it slowly out of it's sheathe to keep noise at a minimum, then crouched, giving Liquid and Doc the impression of a tiger ready to pounce on an unsuspecting victim.  They'd seen this many times, it was one of those times when she showed exactly how much bloodlust she actually had in her, each movement she made kept the smile on her face.  Finally she shifted her feet slightly, getting into the right position, then leapt into the clearing, moving at lightning speed towards the group, grabbing the scarred soldier by the hair, pulling his head back and slicing through his neck with her knife, before the soldiers even managed to realise what had happened, the knife flew through the air and embedded itself into the forehead of another soldier.  The others, finally managing to process what was happening, started to try and get up, tried to start running.  One soldier felt something around his leg and tried to pull it free, without enough time to scream his neck was snapped.  The final soldier managed to get as far as the edge of the clearing, his voice managing te bearest squeak of fear before he felt hands grab his head, a knee pressed against his neck and then force pressed down on his skull.  The faintest crunching noise told Liquid and Doc that the last soldier had come off worse than the others and they walked into the clearing, watching Jade walk into view wiping the blood from her hands onto her jacket, the smile on her face showing them how much she really enjoyed doing that.
"Well," started Liquid, "I guess that's a few less soldiers for them to employ, and a few less soldiers for us to deal with later."
Jade said nothing, keeping the grin on her face, it wasn't an evil grin, or even a sadistic grin, it was something like a malevolent grin, a smile that said, "I enjoy my job, and the more I get to do that the happier I'll feel."  Doc no the other hand, was never one to stay silent,
"Dude, I have GOT to bring a video camera with me next time we do a mission, I swear you could sell this kinda stuff to those black market snuff video guys and make a fortune!"
Liquid looked at Darlock and laughed, rubbing off any leaves and insects that'd caught on him then motioning to carry on.  Jade looked around the camp fire for a moment, brushing a bit of her hair back and getting blood in it, then followed Doc and Liquid back into the trees.
