The black war
It was the last stand of the cog . They were held up on jacinto, the outer part of the city had been over run with locust and the cog were forced to retreat into a small base. They lined up in pill boxes, ready for the fight. They heard a rumbling, and saw buildings fall. then they saw emergence holes come up from the ground, all in a row forming a huge trench in front. Locust snipers took cover on building roof tops and inside fallen buildings. With a battle cry from a locust grenadier The locust push forward on the cogs base, the drones rushing forward while the snipers pinned them down. The cog were out numbered, out gunned and out of ammo. The locust threw themselves against a door busting it down, the cog turned to face them. By the time they did the locust had already aimed there guns and had began to fire. The humans didn't stand a chance. They screamed out in agony as the locusts bullets tore through though their armor and flesh.
4 cog soldiers through out the building heard their cries of agony and rushed down a narrow corridor. The gun fire stopped and so did the screaming they reached a small door. One cog peeked his head out, he saw nothing. He slowly moved into another corridor which connected to the pill box where his comrades had been. He saw the locust rushing toward him armed with hammer bursts. He loaded his lancer, brought the rest of himself around the corner and opened up a volley of bullets. The three locust were surprised and had been caught off guard. they raised their weapons in an attempt to fight back but it was to late. The bullets hit their mark. Three or four hit one locust directly in the chest, all hitting the heart and the right lung. He screamed in agony and fell to the ground, another locust had been shot in the head and his body fell to the floor with a loud "thud" the third locust coming down the corridor had been shot in the left shoulder, and partially in the chest. He pushed onward, gnasher shotgun in hand and took a shot at the cog. The cog rolled back behind cover. He landed on his back, the locust leapt around the corner with amazing speed but he met his doom. The other four cogs opened fire on him and he took steps back as he was turned into a bloody mess.
One cog went over to the other laying on his back and said "god Jonathan you need to watch your ass and not be so damn clumsy, or else your gunna have a wretch chewing on your ass!" Jonathan looked up at him and smiled and got up "yeah thanks I know that dumb ass". they heard more locust coming in they looked down the corridor again, the locust had totally blown open the pill box, locust streamed in. the slammed the door and quickly welded it shut. "Shit!" said Jonathan as he looked around for junk to barricade the door. He found a piece of concrete and started to push it toward the metal door. He heard banging of the locust as they were trying to get in. he and another cog pushed it in front of the door. They pushed against it with their backs the locust banged against the door. Their angry howls could be heard even through the thick metal door.
Then a loud crash was heard, the locust cries stopped…they hear an unusual sound of a gun they never heard before. They heard a bullets hit the metal door, but not many, almost as if something were in the way.. Jonathan looked at his fellow cogs, sweat dripped down his face, his eyes now filled with fear and curiosity. He and the other cogs heard more unusual gun chatter then voices of what sounded like people! That was impossible Jonathan thought, the part of the base was swarming with locust. The door started to be cut open, he backed up. The hallway he was in filled with silence, other than the welding sound. The cogs were all prepared for the worst. The door was pushed forward and it was now pressed up against the block of concrete. Then they heard "get in there odsts, we have a damn job to do! Get that fucking door open and get in there!" Jonathan yelled out "were friendlies In here! Hold your fire!" the odst yelled back "son can you help us move whatever's blocking it from your side?" he and another cog moved forward, he moved the barricade while the other cog held the door up. When he finally moved it out of the way the other cog backed up and let the door fall.
