He held his helmet as the ship rocked back and forth. He cocked his Thompson and looked up.
He saw the backs of his units helmets, he swore that a bullet was going to rip through all of them.
" Hey, Sonic you ok?" Sonic looked at the owner of the voice. He smiled at Private Tails.
"I'm fine." Sonic said to his long-time friend.
"Good Lt. Vector says we're gonna hit the beach soon." Tails said, almost monotone.
Sonic looked at the beach ahead of them. He swore that his deathbed will be on that very beach.
Tails looked at him worriedly, knowing that look Sonic had. "Look Sonic we'll be fine, trust me."
The metal of the landing craft hit the beach with a THUD. Sonic, Tails and the rest of his unit ran on the beach. Sonic looked on in horror as at least half of them were killed in seconds. He kept running, unbeknownst of a gunner looking right at him.
An explosion sent Sonic flying as he hit the sand hard. He was out of breath for a second and just lay there.
" Holy shit, is he ok?" said a blurred voice. " I'm certain, come on help me bring him to cover." Fine, but if i die i'm not vouching you to God." "Jesus Silver cut it out"
Sonic looked up at his two friends Pvt. Shadow and their unit medic Pvt. Silver.
They placed him against a bunker wall. "Silver check if he's alright."
Silver checked Sonics body for wounds. "Maybe some shell shock but that's all i got sir."
"Alright," Vector walked over to Sonic. "Up and at em Corporal, i still need you."
Sonic got up and looked at who was left. The only others were Tails, Shadow, Silver, Pvt. Knuckles, Lance Corporal Espio and Vector.
"Heh" Sonic chuckled "I thought I'd be seeing you all at the gates of hell."
"Not today Sonic, not today." Tails said
