Big blotch of blood in the sky

Mars. What can I say? I thought it was a stupid idea and I was right and so where about a billion people. The protests didn't matter and now we have this on our hands. And the marines have to fix it.

After losing contact with headquarters they thought it was a power outage. The live footage of marines being ripped apart changed their minds.

"Now men listen up. The situation is a bleak one. The U.S army is currently down on the surface and all marine personnel will be landing shortly. Now remember men, we are the best of the best. Our armor and our weapons are of the very best! Be confident tha-" the Sergeant was cut off and at that instant the ship landed. "Oh it looks lik-"

Once again the captain was interrupted. This time though, he was lying on the floor shot full of holes in a pool of his own blood. "Yo man! Its time to get outta here!" shouted a dark man as every last marine got out of the ship.

It was like taking a cold shower. Powerless is how I felt. The marines fell. First it was like war. People yelling, explosions and gunfire seemingly hitting everyone and everything but me.

But soon I realized this wasn't a war. The form of a macabre creature with spikes extricating from its shoulders. Firing unholy fire from its claws. Ripping apart helpless marines that were to scared to pull the trigger. This was an unholy crusade in which man was being tortured for all the things it's done. But I didn't really believe that. Do I?

We were supposed to reach the door that the damned things were coming from. Just my fuckin' luck.
