A.N. My first fanfic, so criticism would be nice.

The Worst Day Ever,

Of All Time

Update/ A.N. If you decided to reread this you will notice that I learned how to add horizontal lines. YAY!

"Okay people, gear up and get in the your pods." that was the Sarge.

In the squad there was Sarge, me, Anders, and John. Sarge carried his

favorite shotgun, I used the Battle Rifle, Anders carried the Rocket

launcher and the MA5B, and John used the SRS99 AM. We were an okay

squad of ODSTs. Back to the story. I grabbed my BR and put it in the slot

next to the seat of my pod.

The pod hit the ground with a thud. I hit a button and the door shot off.

I grabbed my BR and jumped out. I immediately spotted a jackal patrol. "Get

down!" I yelled through the comms. We all hid behind our pods. John pulled

out his pistol and peeked around his pod. His M6 was the suppressed model

so he managed to take out the patrol unnoticed. "Okay people, we've got a

Covvie anti-air 'bout a kilometer up this here road." said Sarge. "What

road?" I asked. "That slightly overgrown dirt road ten feet behind you."

Sarge stated. "Oh, that road." I mumbled.

"There it is. One Covvie anti-air. Now all we gotta do run inside plant a

grenade in front of the shield, run outside, wait for the boom, run inside and

throw a grenade in the core, then run outside and find some cover." Sarge

explained as if he did this everyday. "He said that on one breath!" Anders

whispered to me amazed. I got the worst part of the plan. I had to run in

and plant the grenade. I made through though. When we were all in cover

again Sarge said he would do the honors. That was when things went terribly

wrong.

Sarge got up from cover shotgun in his right and grenade in his left. He

charged right through the enemy lines toward the anti-air. That was when a

scarab came into view, it's main gun already charging. "Sarge! Get to cover!"

I yelled, but it was to late. The scarab fired, reducing Sarge to nothing.

Anders, John, and I turned around and ran. I having the lightest gun ran the

fastest. The first suitable cover was a small cave, so I ran in. "Command this

is Corporal Carterson requesting an air strike on scarab near my location, I'll

paint the target." "Copy that air strike waiting for signal." I peaked out of

my little cave and immediately spotted the scarab. I took out my laser

designator and aimed at the scarab. "Target painted." I heard the bombers

the explosions. Pretty soon a Pelican filled with marines landed in front of

the cave. "Need a lift trooper?" one of the marines asked. I replied," Where

to?" The marine answered," Our FOB." " Anywhere but here is fine by me."

I hopped in and took a seat.

A.N. So, what do you think? As always, reviews are great.
