Prologue

_The world changed when gene splicing and DNA reconstruction had come around. A young man in the military was the only visibly human thing on earth. There are animals, actual, honest to god, survive on nothing but instincts, animals around then there are the hybrids. Hybrids were the creation of gene splicing and DNA reconstruction where if you were barely in your mother's stomach they injected this liquid through a long needle into you with Nanobites in them and they would reconstruct your outcome and exit through your mothers waste and safely self-destruct once out of the body. The mother would then give birth to a gene spliced hybrid baby unless she was already a hybrid then you just naturally came out that way. If you were getting DNA reconstruction you were a full grown adult and you wanted to be part animal, then a series of operations to complicated for me to recall. Almost all humans on Earth went through DNA reconstruction and were now part animal inside and out. This kid was different... long red hair, handsome face, green eyes, 6 feet tall, lean and muscular. He was a Marine Corps Sniper because although he looked human he was given the incredible eye sight of a hawk. If people looked closely they would see that his eyes were that of a hawk.

Profile: Angel Sharpe Age: 20 Height: 6 Feet Eyes: Green

Hair: Red Species: Human

Marine Sniper since graduation from sniper school at age 18... broke the target kill ratio on the first day in the field. Now a member of a special branch of soldiers, with special talents, that undertake serious and unique missions.

Main Weapons: Browning M82A1 sniper rifle- a .50 cal sniper rifle that can shoot through walls and up to 2 miles, Angel uses modified magazines that carry 10 rounds instead of the basic 5 round. Compact bow- used for stealth missions and easy to assemble in the field. Two 13 inch long survival knives- Angels got these dual knives from his father who was also a Marine Corps sniper. Two 9mm semi-auto max clip pistols- Angel is often in need of a faster loading weapon for if he was caught off guard or was in dangerous waters. AN-94- Modified so it doesn't look like a Russian made rifle. Shoots the original 2 burst with one pull of the trigger. All black with a red dragon down the sides, a laser dotted short range scope.

He now wore his own style of recon clothes being in a team that he liked. He commanded his own section of the small army he was in. He was the only human in the place he was okay with that, most people respected his decision to stay human as possible because that was what he wanted... and probably respected it because he was also their CO among other things. He was walking to meet the people he had chosen for the short mission they had received for the day. He smiled as he saw them in the briefing room. "All right ladies and gents" He said loudly getting their attention, "You as needed for today's assignment. If everything goes good every member of B-Team will be moved to a new place to take care of a different war. The base will be under my command of course" "Ooraw!" They yelled to him before sitting as the windows closed and the mission was up on the giant touch screen behind him. He was soon explaining that they would be in the middle of enemy territory to recover a weapon supply crate that fell during a plane explosion. The crate was suspected to have dropped about the middle of the valley one of the biggest and closest enemy bases were. They would drop in teams of two and once the crate was located they would put a homing signal on it and meet at the extraction point. They soon had their gear together and were in the Helicopter that was often flown by Angel's good friend Reilly. She was a long time friend having grown up and joined the military with Angel. "Where to Ghost?" She smiled looking into his eyes with a purr upon her throat. She was a hybrid between human and a domestic black house cat. Matter of fact his team today were stealthy cats except for Bowie. He smiled and sat as she looked at the mission orders, "So you're going to retrieve the lost weapons" "No just find them and set a beacon tuned to the U.S. frequency" Angel smiled. "Why, the U.S. frequency?" "Because the U.S. isn't country of its own anymore and isn't fighting in this war except for this small group that we have here" Angel smiled looking back at his team, "How much time until we reach the LZ? I don't want this team to get sick when we hit ground" "ETA's about 20 minutes" "Okay" He smiled taking off his headphones and walking to his team as they closed the doors, "Okay team. Check your gear and make sure your suppressors are ready to go" Every one started putting on suppressors and such on their guns to keep them quite as possible. Bowie had to have a very powerful suppressor for his USAS-12 shotgun. Angel had a suppressor on his AN-94 before he heard Reilly in his ear from the com link he wore. "ETA 1 minute" "Packs on" Angel smiled looking at the doors that opened, "Team 1 get ready to jump" Two by two, people started to drop from the chopper and into the jungle below. Angel was paired with a young tigress hybridunfortunately. He smiled walking to her when he landed. She was stuck in her chute pack. "Unclip you stupid thing" She growled. "Hey Ghost" Reilly's voice was in his ear once more, "Where do you want me to pick you guys up?" "Me and the team will pop flare when we're away and ready to leave" "Okay" She said before going out of his com range. He walked up to the tigress and smiled, "Now quite struggling" He pulled a knife from his side, "I don't want to accidently stab you" He started cutting away at the strap as she looked down at him, "You're not going to cut off my pack will you?" "Of course I'm not" He said sarcastically looking at her, "You're a new recruit aren't you?" "Yes I am" She smiled. "I really need to start paying attention to my team roster" He said pulling her to her feet, "Commander Angel Sharpe. Leader of the B-Team" Angel said lifting his gun to his eyes so he could see if it had been damaged when it made contact with the ground under him when he landed, "We have very special missions that only the B-Team can handle" "Okay" She said looking around as they walked through the jungle, "So do I need some special talent or something?" "Although it's good to have one you don't need one" "What's yours Commander?" "I'm one of the best snipers you'll ever meet" He said looking at her, "I broke the kill record on my first day in the field" "Then why's your codename Ghost?" "Because I've never been seen when it happens" He smiled looking forward and using his awesome eye sight to spot traps and enemies, "What's your name and codename?" "Private Alex B. Ross, Codename Glass, sir" "Alex" Angel smiled, "Don't be formal and just follow orders. You can call me Angel or Ghost and never call me by my rank" "Okay" "Hm, I wonder what the new base will be like" He looked around, "I heard there's worse thing there then here though... but I've also been told that we're getting new gear that's not allowed here on earth. Angel raised his rifle as he gave the signal for Alex to stop. There they were, 2 of the ugliest hybrids you'd ever see, both dressed in enemy uniforms. Angel slowly lowered his rifle to look at Alex who was jittery. "Relax" He said looking back to them, "You take the one on the left" No flash of gun powder and barely any sound when they fired. Angels AN-94 doing two shot bursts like it was designed to. Her XM8 firing three quick shots before she let go of the trigger. He nodded and continued forward with her covering his back. They walked through a cursed jungle that their mission just so happen to be in. Angel looked back over at Alex who was a little shaky still. He smiled and grabbed a stick of gum from his mission pack. "Here" He said putting half of it in his mouth, "It'll help trust me" "Okay" She smiled grabbing it and putting it in her mouth to chew, "I wouldn't be so shaky if I had some smokes" "We can't smoke on a mission. It would give away our position" He smiled, "I can suggest smokeless tobacco if you just can't do without" "No thanks" "Okay" He smiled, "Hey I see Bowie and Trent"

Profile: Bowie Southers Age: 19 Height: 7 Feet Eyes: Blue Fur: Brown+ Blonde Mane and Tail Species: Horse Hybrid(Specifically A Clydesdale)

Angel met Bowie his fifth week in the B-Team. He was in the B-Team for his quick reactions in the midst of battle and his planning skills. The problem was that he had hooves instead of feet even though he had hands and he made a sound in the middle of plane dirt.

Main Weapons: PV13 shotgun- basically your upgraded scatter pulse round. Once it enters the target the BBs from the shell send electric charges to each other detonating a small amount of liquid explosive below the surface of the metal ball. RPG+P1- a rocket propelled grenade except it has a pulse system on the launching mechanism making the grenade unstable in mid air and creating a bigger bang then the original grenade would. C4- the first basic form of plastic explosive and still kept its original form. It can only be set off by an electric current sent through the air and into the receivers stuck in the pack of C4.

Angel whistled like a bird to get his attention. Once together they started talking, "Angel" Bowie smiled looking at him while raising the PV13 shotgun, "Do you know exactly where the weapon crate is?" "Should be one more click away" Angel said with a look around... his gaze landed on Trent who was a German Sheppard Hybrid, "That's what the mission report said... Hey Trent let me see that spotting scope you have" I guess Bowie isn't the only one on this team that isn't a cat hybrid, Angel thought to himself. Angel could see pretty well with his own eyes but sometimes he did need some help. He couldn't see anything further into the valley. He gave the spotting scope back and put his finger to his headset, "Does anybody copy... This is Ghost does anybody have a visual on the crate?" "Not yet sir" He heard, "Me and Cimarron are scoping out the enemy camp to see if they have it" "Keep me posted" "Yes sir" "Alright let's get to that one click mark" Angel said. "Do you know how far one click will be?" "Just run until we see the crate or we run into a trap" He said looking over at Alex, "Keep your eyes open and follow fast" She smiled running after him. He was a little excited at times because he was soon headed into a trap. The area that the crate was still in had trip wires all over that were attached to flash grenades. He stopped the others and looked around the area. Trip wires were actually everywhere. He nodded before drawing his pistols and stepping over the wire. His team followed circling around until they reached the crate. He looked around it and grinned. "You're up Bowie" Angel said, "The damn things rigged" "I got this Angel" "Ghost too Blue Bird. Can you hear me Kitty cat?" "Yes" "Start circling and have that Tow cable ready to go" He said before switching channels, "All team report to the middle of the valley, we have the crate. Watch out for trip wires" "Why you have her drop the tow cable?" Trent asked looking around, "Our mission is to plant a homing beacon" "Well I want the base move to be a definite thing" Angel said looking around as well, "How you doing Bowie?" "Almost got it" He said. "Good 'cause the others are here" He said bringing up a flare gun, "Fire in the hole" "You just gave away our position" One of the arrivals said, "Are you crazy?" "Don't speak to your commanding officer like that" Bowie said throwing the bomb to him, "Get rid of that for me" "I'm just about tired of being under you Angel" "Fine, I can arrange your unit transfer" Angel said looking at him, "But until then you need to deal with it to get out alive or I can shoot you now" Angel didn't have to shoot him as enemy soldiers started attacking and the very stubborn man not being level headed took a shot to the chest. Angel started hitting 2 targets at a time with his pistols. Soon he was using his AN-94 still hitting what he aimed at. Alex was firing on what she thought she could hit... thankfully she could hear the mini-guns as enemy soldiers were buzzed down. Reilly dropped the tow cable and the ladder for the both of them as bullets started whizzing around them again for she couldn't move. They started climbing the ladder and the enemy started running in. Angel attached the cable and unclipping his belt re-clipped it around the cable attaching him to it. He raised his hand and spun his finger around and they were off the ground and flying away. He smiled sliding to where he sat on the crate, the voice soon entering his ear. "You alright down there?" "I just wanted some fresh air" He laughed looking as the enemy tried to keep trying to shoot them, "Let's get to our new base" "Roger that"_

Later That Day...

_Angel looked around under the water once he dove in. He had a swimming session every day with his friend Lexy.

Profile: Lexy Age: 16 Length: 8 feet Eyes: Black Skin: Grey/Blue Species: Dolphin

Lexy was a gene splicing experiment and one of the first members of the B-Team. She has a Biosuit that was made specifically for her use outside of water. She can speak human and her mental capacity was increase to the point of her being able to through telepathy. She thinks like both a human and a dolphin but rarely speaks in human language. The only person she speaks to is Angel because he is her best and only friend.

"Hey Lexy" He said with a smile, "Did you hear that we're moving to a different base tomorrow?" "Yes and I can't wait" She smiled rubbing her head against his chest, "I that last mission didn't bang you up did it?" "No why?" "I was just asking" She said before swimming around him, "Ready to swim?" "Yes" He smiled. He was wearing a breath mask and she was able to see everything inside the mask. He started swimming at her side coming up so she could breathe air every now and then. He always enjoyed swimming with her. "So where do you think they're sending us to?" "I hope it's to a different planet. I hate being here on Earth, there's nothing but war here" She said slowing, "I want to go where there's little fighting" "That's nearly impossible these days" Angel said, "Because of the other life forms discovered out there" "Well at least to a planet where not everything is destroyed" "That way there's something to actually look at and enjoy" "Yeah" She smiled looking to the glassed clock, "Man that clock's either broken or your mission screwed up our time together" "It's time to get ready to ship off to our new base" He said looking at her, "I guess I'll see you on the ship" "I'll be there" She smiled swimming to her bio-suit. He climbed out and left her room to get to his bunker. He had a room all to himself and he liked it that way often. He started packing his clothes and his gear. His guns went in a case and his knives in his duffle bag. His bow and his 13 inch field knives were in another case as well. His gear was simply weapons and modified spec ops uniforms. He put his black skull cap on and left his room walking to the departure hanger. It was okay that he was being transferred to a different base, he was as tired of what he thought was his home as much as Lexy did. Once everyone was packed in the transporter in the ship he joined Reilly with a smile creasing his lips and soon followed Lexy who had nothing but bags of water in case something happened and her bio-suit malfunctioned. "I wonder what new toys we get to play with now" Reilly smiled, "I hope I get a Dragonfly this time" "We can only hope" Angel laughed as he looked away for a while.

Profile: Reilly Curtis Age: 20 Height: 5 ft. Eyes: Yellow Fur/ Hair: Black Species: Domestic Cat Hybrid

Reilly is Angel's best friend and knew him since he was 6 yrs. Old. She went through DNA reconstruction before she joined the air force at the same time Angel went to Sniper School. She was named one of the best multi-air vehicle pilots. Once she joined the B-Team she was marked as their transportation and became the most reliable in drop, retrieve, and she wasn't too bad on the ground as Angel found out their first mission together.

"So this is all they're sending with us?" Lexy asked him He looked around the cargo hold and saw his team. Bowie and another horse hybrid, Alex and another tiger, this one a regular coat, 2 wolves, cheetahs, lizards, hawks, black leopards, foxes, and deer. He smiled opening his gun case and pulling out his M82A1. "I guess this is what we have to work with" He said. "That's assuring" Lexy said as she realized that was the answer to her question, "Why am I the only Dolphin?" "Don't get to sad, I'm the only human and Reilly's the only house cat" "That sucks" Reilly said then stood at attention as their Commanding Officer walked in. "B-Team your new base is on a planet named Restal, you're needed against the Capthians, Nelons, and Crilests. From now one you're known as the Head Hunters. Your base will be called the Crisis Core. And if some of you are feeling alone we use this planet we are sending you to, to bring back the wild animals that once roamed Earth... they want our animals and we cannot let them have what we are known for. And you will be under the command of a new general other then me. Understand?" "Sir, yes, sir!" "Alright, go about your business while the pilot runs the last preparation. You leave in 30 minutes" He said walking away, "Good luck Hunters... take good care of them Angel" "I will sir" Angel said with a solute before sitting back down. He started cleaning his rifle with care as he waited. It was going to be a long ride and he knew it. He looked over at Alex who was looking down at her feet. "Here Reilly. Hold this for a minute please?" He handed her the rifle before getting to his feet and walking over to Alex, "Why do you look so down?" "Because we're leaving. I won't be able to see my sister anymore" "I'm sorry" He said with a comforting smile, "I'll see if I can get a requested transfer for her" "Really?" She asked looking at him with a smile, "Thank you so much Angel" "You're welcome" He said holding out his hand, "Come sit with me and my girls" He led her to the others and introduced her. They sat talking as the shuttle was soon moving and off to another planet._

That was five years ago...
