Here's a story I'm developing right now...Here,we look into Shadow's past...Its just the 'first chapter' of my 'story' so yeah....Enjoy ^^

"Skull One,come in.Skull One respond.Over."
"..Ah...Huh...Roger that..."
"Pakage just arrived.Preparing to move out."
The man code-named Skull One peered down from the tree he was in.Sure enough,he spotted the supply convoy.Boarding the trucks were no problem,making sure him and his team weren't detected by the guards escorting the convoy was another story.

Get a grip,he told himself.He managed to pull off stunts harder and much more dangerous than this before.So why did he felt hesitant now?He clicked his COM once to get his team's attention.Then he quickly gave the 'move out' signal.In a blink of an eye, they vanished from the tree tops and landed silently on the roof of the trucks.He knew that boarding the trucks were easy.Yet,why did he hesitated to give out the order?

Could it be that he was tired?As a Skull unit,the military's elite soldiers,he would go through grueling missions one after another,without rest in between.Ever since this war started,the difficulty and intensity of his missions started to rise.All he wanted was a long,relaxing break.But the only break a Skull can get is in the hospital when he or she sustained a serious injury.Maybe he should just get critically wounded,he wondered.

A sudden jerk brought him back to his senses at the cost of him losing his footing.he quickly grabbed a nearby branch and swung himslef back onto the truck.He statred to curse himself under his breath.As the squad leader,he mustn't make a single mistake.Else,his teammates will be rattled by his mistake and lose trust in him.And his squad's trust is all that he has left.

"Uhh...Shadow,sir?You okay?",asked one of his teammates.He traced the message back to Skull Five,Illa.Though quiet and soft-hearted,she makes an excellent scout.She often locates things that the others quickly over looked.And she is the most loyal in the whole team,always sticking by him no matter what.That's why he favoured her alot.Maybe a bit too much.

Shadow opened a private COM channel to her."...I'm fine...Don't worry about me...".Even when she is on the furthest truck,he can still see her smile.He quickly turned and saw what he was looking for.Now its his turn to smile.He activated his team's COM channel."team,we are approaching out LZ.Expect multiple enemy contact everywhere.Maintain radio silence and wait for my signal."He looked towards the enemy base.He have to accomplish this mission no matter what it takes.


Even losing his life if he needs to.
