-----------------------------LCPL John Miller Bravo Platoon 2nd squad
TIME:9:40AM LOCAL
John had been huddled in the sandbag bunker for well over an hour now. His M4K gripped tightly in his death white grip. The spectre artillery started well over a half an hour ago and everybody had been inside of the bunkers since. Someone in the bunker took a peek outside of the bunker and quickly pulled the radio off his back. John also peeked up to see what looked like a big pack of militants rushing inwards towards their position. His squad's radioman was sending the general alert to the rest of the remaining defenders. John got up and aimed his rifle down one of the firing slits, everybody had gotten the message, more and more of the rifleman had their weapons aimed down into the kill zone. "BOOM, BOOM, BOOM"! John heard the arty in the background start up again as the Militants, with a roar, rushed into the heat of the battle. John quickly fired at a militant who had started to cook a shrapnel grenade. The man died and the grenade, still cooking in his hand, exploded, taking out several other militants, and wounding over a dozen. John's weapon clicked empty and he quickly pulled another clip from his pouch and snapped it into the receiver. Gunfire from the bunkers mowed down the militants like grass, but more and more of the militants came. Gunfire from the militants had slowed and the arty stopped. John slapped a new clip and returned to the firing slit to see what was happening. The Spectre artillery had also stopped. John looked over to the rest of the squad. Private Burton was shaking as he slid in a new clip into his gun. His radioman, PFC Jones had put down his rifle and started to send a message over the radio. And the Machine gunner, Private Hane had nearly froze up after a grenade had blown up several Nod Militant, ripping arms and legs off. John pulled out his binoculars and checked out the mouth of the valley. What he saw, was unexplainable. Black Hand Confessor Cabals stood at the mouth of the valley in a column, as if waiting for orders. John quickly said "Jones, get on the radio and send another general alert, Confessor Cabals this time". His radioman nodded and began to work his radio again. John quickly pulled his rifle apart, switching the barrel for the longshot barrel and attaching the variable zoom scope to the rail system on the top of his gun. With his sniper rifle in hand, he ordered his guys back to their positions and aimed down his scope. He could see the Confessors begin to approach the end of the valley. John took a breath and fired his sniper rifle. The shot traveled so fast, that it had blew out a Confessor's brain before the shot echoed down the valley. More shots rang out as other snipers in their foxholes opened up as well. John's mind was to preoccupied to notice the fanatics running quickly towards the foxholes. Private Hane yelled out "FANATICS, SHOOT AT THEM!" The Machine gunners at each foxhole fired their machine guns into the oncoming crowd of fanatics. The fanatics began to die off like ants under a hose but a couple of fanatics managed to run into a bunker, blowing it sky high. The sniper fire began to die down as they had either ran out of ammo or had just not wanted to waste their precious ammo on Confessors. John had quickly dropped his rifle to reattach the assault rifle barrel, but a fanatic that had avoided Hane's barrage of gunfire, ran into the bunker. John reacted the quickest, pulling out his UFP handgun, he shot the fanatic twice in the head. The fanatic fell dead as John went back to putting the AR barrel back onto his rifle. He lifted his Rifle and fired at the oncoming wave of confessors, who during the fanatic wave, had come a lot closer. John fired a series of automatic bursts at a dozen Confessors who had began to fire at his bunker. The bullets were armor piercing, and it had tore through the Confessors. The bodies quickly began to pile and John had to throw a grenade at the bodies to clear a field of vision. Several bullets flew into the room, one of them grazed John's left arm and another on his right. The rest of the bullets flew into PFC Jones. He had a surprised look on his face as the bullets went into his gut. Jones's lifeless body hit the floor, the blood pooling from the wounds on his body. Hane yelled with anger and fired his machine gun at full blast into the Confessor, who was at that moment, cooking a shrapnel grenade, that had killed Jones. The confessor's lifeless body also hit the dirt. The cooking grenade however, continued to cook and it blew up with a "WHUMP!" Injuring several other Confessors that had bunched up close to the grenade. Hane yelled"RELOADING!" John snapped a new clip into his M4K and began to fire at the continuing wave of Confessors. He could spot militants that had also come into battle with the Confessors and fired until his gun clicked empty. Hane had brought up his Machine Gun and began to fire at the wave. The Confessors and Militants had artillery support, as the spectres had began to fire again. The bunker next to their's had exploded, momentarily clouding his vision as dust and gore kicked up around the slits. Gunfire from the bunkers had began to slacken as the marines had either ran out of ammo or they had been killed. John's weapon clicked empty and he reached for another clip in his pouch. Only realizing that there was no clips left in his pouch. He ran to Jones's body and pulled several clip from the body's pouch. Hane yelled"LOOK, RIENFORCEMENTS!" That was the last thing John heard before an artillery shell landed on their bunker…..
