"Captain Kelp. Come on..." Holly grunted while pulling the less attractive of the two brothers. He wasn't responding as he should. Actually he hadn't moved in a while.
"Major Short! Get over here!" The familiar voice snarled. It was the other brother, Trouble.
"Troub, get over here and help me. I can't drag Grub..." She slipped into her habit of calling them by there first names. Her breath was ragged. Did Grub ever stop eating?
"Leave him!" The commander snapped. He wasn't known for being a paticularly caring brother.
"I'm not..." She was cut off by a beam flashing over her head. She felt the heat singe her the top of her auburn hair.
"Short..." Trouble's voice was a low growl. He darted out to her and threw his brother over his larger shoulder. They raced back towards the burm Trouble had been hiding behind.
"I hate goblins..." Holly grumbled while trying to set her gun to a stronger sitting. It was jammed at the 'sting' setting. "I hate neutrinos." Her voice was getting sharper, she was jerking the setting dial harder and harder. Trouble kept jumping up and shooting at the fireball launching goblins, then ducking back down to avoid being burnt.
"And I hate your brother." She growled while kicking the slumped over body.
"You're not alone." Trouble grunted when he dived down again. "About Grub. I kind of like the Neutrinos."
"You're trying to be funny when we might become burnt kebobs in the next few minutes?" Her voice was outraged but she wasn't really suprised. Since Trouble had taken the postion of Commander he had lightened up a bit, mostly just around her.
"We need Grub awake...we need more shots..." Trouble said quickly, reverting back to normal fight mode. Holly nodded a bit and managed to get her gun ready for shooting again.
"Setting Check." Trouble snapped before she shot. She didn't reply and rolled over. Belling rolling and climbing up the burm she took careful aim. Shwip. A goblin fell dead. She ducked her head and aimed again.
"Get rid of the Kill setting!" Trouble snarled realizing what she was doing.
"It's on Comotose setting."
"Oh." His voice fell flat and he kept shooting at the drity goblins.
"Damn you Grub..."
