 The Gem The ship drifted through space, awaiting a call to duty. The crew milled around, both working and relaxing in the lounge. The Wraiths had their own special room near the generator, located in the core of the ship, to do their things. They were given special lockers to store their armor in. They had television like consoles that would play movies and video game like things to entertain them while they awaited their next mission. To the highest authorities, they were the Wraiths. To the crew, they were the precious cargo. To themselves, they were humanity's only chance of survival.
And rightfully so. The leaders of Earth's government took the best warriors across human controlled territories and made them into super soldiers. But they needed other qualities, too. Not only did they possess extreme physical and mental strength, they had abilities never before seen in human history, or as far as in reality. They were likely the offspring of a human and assimilated alien breeding. Powers such as the ability to manipulate flame or control organic beings were things that were at their disposal. Every single person in this room had one of these powers. Including you.
You walked over to your 'locker', as they call it, but it seemed to be more of an elevator for the Wraith's possessions. Your helmet descended, and you took it out, observing it from all angles. You looked at the back, and marked onto it was your name, and you mumbled to yourself...
k say your name now |

Lana Wild. An alright name, you supposed. As you admire your helmet, a red light begins flashing.
"PREPARING FOR WARP TO SECTOR 13B. ARMOR UP, LADS. OUR FIRST OFFICIAL MISSION."
The other Wraiths in the room rushed to get their armor on, preparing their personal weapons.

She puts her helmet on, air hissing as the oxygen system activates. She then puts the rest of thearmor on then going to grab an SMG and an Assault Rifle from her locker.

As the Wraiths finish arming themselves, they rush out of the room, heading towards the hangar. It is likely the ship will be outside the atmosphere, fighting from above while dropships send you, the other Wraiths, and the standard ground troops down to fight below.

She follows them, the SMG magnetically held to her hip, carrying her Assault Rifle in her hands.

You and the other Wraiths hold onto something i forgot what it's called ok in the transport ship, as the entire ship shakes you feel the warp occuring. A pilot arrives and the transport ship sets off for the planet. A massive battle is happening as your ship slides past the larger war ships.

She looks out of the windows, staring at the largeships.

They are shaped oddly, and it's a flurry of explosions and smaller fighters as shots from both sides make direct impacts on their opponents. There is not a clear winner yet. The ship begins descending in the atmosphere, and you notice the heat gets much more intense as you get closer to the ground. The ship makes a soft landing on the sand in the middle of a small human colony. Outside the walls, you can see the aliens have made a smaller, more temporary camp. You and the other Wraiths are taken to meet the commander. While you are walking, you are free to converse with your fellows.

You walk into the room with the commander as he stares at you.
"Men and women, we have a very bad situation. We're in the middle of the killzone, and our problems are only getting worse. That alien camp over yonder has been growing. Our anti aircraft guns are doing their best, but their armor is just so resistant against our conventional weaponry. We fear that they're preparing a base of attack, as well as dropping off artillery. At the moment, we have no idea how the other military bases are doing, as this camp is cutting us off. According to satellites, we have camps on all sides of us, though not to get rid of us in particular. This area is obviously going to be where they have their area of operations, meaning that if we fall they have complete control of this region. Taking care of the one base we can see is going to make our case so much better. Arm yourselves, and lead the troops to take the camp down."

"Sir, yes sir!" Lana says as she loads a clip into her assault rifle and exits the building with the other soldiers.

You and the other Wraiths load into military vehicles; based off of old military designs, and equipped with a machine gun on it's front. The vehicles speed forward towards the alien base. It seems smooth, until you reach the half way point. Large balls of plasma slowly raise from above the alien camp walls, and descend at unbelievable speeds. One narrowly misses your vehicle as the driver swerves to the side, but another is not so fortunate. The blast hits the center of the car, and it explodes in all directions. Only a scream is heard, with the single survivor being a Wraith stuck underneath part of the broken chassis. More plasma fire is ascending above the walls towards your vehicles.

Lana aims down the sight on her asssault rifle and fires off bursts of gunfire towards where the plasma shots originate from.

The bullets certainly look menacing, but they don't do much but ping against the walls defending the camp. The cars swerve to the side, and one tips over and another is struck by a plasma artillery bolt, the entire front half turning to nothing but ash. A few Wraiths are left without cars, and instead are running towards the wall.

She continues to fire at the wall, switching clips when the current one is empty.

The car slams into the wall, breaking through it and running over an alien or two. The other cars smash through, observing the tall, slender aliens stand and scream a battle cry before opening fire on you and your fellows. Another Wraith raises his fist and clutches it as a bunch of insects begin swarming the aliens. Another sends waves of fire towards the alien.

Lana jumps out of the car and then splits it in half with her powers (she has metal manipulation powers). She then uses the two halves as crushers, squishing aliens between the two halves.
While she uses her powers for that, she fires off bursts from her assualt rifle.

The assault rifle bullets go wild as your entire focus is on controlling the metal. The insects disappear, and the one who was using such begins firing down upon the aliens. Normal ground troops are in a mix of awe and terror, letting bullets of their own penetrate the aliens' flesh until they drop dead.

Lana decides to stop firing and places the assault rifle on the magnetic holder on her back, to keep her focus on the two car halves.
She continues to swing them around with her powers, smashing them into aliens, sending them flying, and occasionaly crushing aliens between the two halves.

An alien runs to your side and leeches onto your shoulder with surprising strength, considering their slender appearance. It's mouth opens and it roars at your helmet, spit dripping down it's front.

She drops the car halves from the grip of her powers, as she swings her fist at the side of the alien's face. She then grabs the SMG from her thigh and unloads a full clip into the alien's body.

The alien goes flying, making a weird noise and it hits the ground. It hisses, and brings a strange pistol like weapon out of a holster and fires it at you faster than you can ready the SMG. The plasma does minor damage to your armor, but you're surprised at how hot it feels even though it hasn't touched your skin. You ready the SMG and send bullets up on bullets into the extraterrestial's body, resulting in it flopping to the ground, dead.

She rushes to the body and grabs the strange pistol, holstering it on her othe magnetic thigh holster.
She then grabs the two car halves in her power and continues to crush aliens.

The aliens begin dropping dead faster than your fellows, and no Wraiths have fallen et. In fact, the Wraith that had previously been stuck underneath the car chassis has returned, and is now abandoning the idea of guns and instead using his bare hands to break the aliens' necks and other various parts.
