Be gentle...First story lol.
Jacinto's skies parted as the Imulsion powered energy beams ripped down upon the colossal mutated Lambent Brumak. "Get us out of here, now! All KR units, evac to the surface!" Marcus Fenix barked pressing his index finger against his
ear piece. The King Raven helicopter began to incline forcing Marcus and the rest of the troops in the cargo bed to quickly grab hold to their safety lines. As the trio of KR units ascended through the massive sink hole created by Delta
squad and the now former shrieking Brumak, with the combined forces of several Hammer of dawn beams bearing down upon the Lambent Brumak it began to imploded.
Escaping a few hundred meters from the sink hole and well above the ground a brilliant explosion colored Jacinto's war torn skies and engulfed the King Ravens in a blinding light. A full second later the full force of the concussive explosion
forced Dominic Santiago's eyes shut, his skin tingled as the sudden wave of heat smacked him. "Damn!" He muttered but was muted out by the deafening Nova like explosion. Beam's of lights ripped through Jacinto's streets, dozens of
sink holes engulfed cars trucks and the bodies of Gear's and Locust alike, great monumental structures cracked and fell apart into the disappearing streets below. Huge buildings crumbled and either imploded or fell upon each other
causing a domino like reaction. As Jacinto slowly sunk in sections, Marcus, Dom & Damon Baird watched in awe as their former bastion disappeared forever.
Slowly Dominic eased down and carefully removed the picture of himself and Maria from the inside of his boot where he kept it for the final moments of Jacinto to prevent it getting riddled with bullet holes. He eased back up tightening his
grip of the safety line with his right hand and holding the photo in his left palm. Marcus shot his free hand up to his ear piece and for the first time in years he heard Marcus's concern tone. "Control, can you read me? Anya, are you there?"
Marcus's expression rearranged itself as he frowned sadly and let his arm drop to his side. Finally the thick granite walls weakened by the explosion collapsed and a Tsunami of water flooded into the Hollows beneath. Within the Hollow's
thousands of Locusts fled the oncoming waves of death but even with their inhuman speeds they were struck down and washed away drowning slowly in agony. Jacinto's city tops jutted out above the sea and small fires ate away at the
barely fully standing buildings the only remaining clue of a city was the debris left behind. In the distance the Silhouettes of hundreds of KR's and COG boats moved along both Air and Ocean heading for an unknown destination.

"Your world can end in the blink of an eye. One event, one unexpected twist of fate... and suddenly the world as you knew... is gone. Forever." Dominic let go of the safety line and sat back against the bulkhead on the worn out passenger seat.
He looked down at the photo of himself and Maria and then slowly turned it over, Dom read the cursive writing slowly letting tears ripple down his cheek. "So you always have me with you... I love you, Dominic... Always, Maria." Dom was
snapped back into attention by Marcus who continued to call into the COM Channel repeating the same name despite the fact that the COM Channels where down. "Anya. Can you read me? Anya come in! Anya…" Marcus finally gave up as
Dom stood up next to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "All that you held dear, all that you held close... is washed away in a sea of distant memory." Dom took a moment to say what he could. "I'm sorry Marcus."
Marcus's cheeks twitched as his jaw clenched shut, he leaned back only to see a KR unit approaching their own. "Life... is cruel. Of this I have no doubt." Augustus "Cole Train" Cole stood in the cargo bed holding onto the safety line as he
patted his chest armor and gave the peace sign. Baird stood and gave no response, although everybody knew he was happy to see his squad mate alive. "But life continues on... with, or without you." Anya emerged from behind the
massive body of Cole grabbing a safety line she kept her steady blue eyes on Marcus then after waving slightly she moved her hand to her heart, Marcus although he didn't express his emotions just as much as Baird grinned slightly and
nodded. "One can only hope that one leaves behind a lasting legacy. But so often, the legacies we leave behind... are not the ones we intended."
Private Leland Miller removed his helmet and after inspecting it he threw it into the tides hitting the oversized COG boat. "There a reason to that Private?" Sergeant E. leaned forward onto the rail lighting the last of his Cigars. "Piece of
Shiite. Sir." Miller replied plainly, he didn't care-not anymore at least. "Long as your Rig functions. Fuck the helmet Miller." Miller grinned to the Sergeants comment, then he almost hesitated in asking his intended question. "How's Melissa?,
Uh…I mean Private Colto?" Miller hated not having his boot to dirt but it was nice seeing the sea. "She's fine Miller, bullet didn't hit anything important she's just resting." Sergeant E. took a long draw from the cigar and then smirked.
"Think it's really over this time?" Miller was quiet. "Want me to give you the typical bull shiite people want to hear?" The Sergeant shook his head. "Hell no kid out with it already." Miller was younger than the Sergeant but only by at least
four years. "No clue Sir, no clue." He turned and left pushing past some people to enter the medical room not too far away. BEEP~BEEP~BEEP The machines read Colto's weak heart beat, Miller frowned but was still thank full she
escaped humanities last stand with only a bullet to the stomach.
Standing at 6'0" Miller was the size of any standard Gear soldier which was still pretty big. With years of fighting sculpted into his body he knew what it felt like to take a bullet but he was already used to it and he learned how to shrug
off the pain. Melissa though his childhood friend is a rookie she joined the fight right before the Land down assault started so she was relatively new to getting shot. "Hey big guy." Miller sat down beside her. "Very funny Leland." Colto
smiled weakly under the oxygen supply mask. "How you feeling?" Miller was on the verge of tears he and her both knew it. "It hurts." Miller brushed aside a stray hair from his field of vision. "Still can't believe it." Colto spoke, Miller looked
up with a questioning look on his face. "Your hair is over regulation length and in spite of it getting in your eye sight so much you managed to keep yourself from getting shot." Colto's remark made Miller chuckle. "I'm cutting it don't
worry." He ran his fingers through his brown hair. "Miller with short hair? That'll be the day." She smiled and closed her eyes.
Sergeant E. was given the nick name "Enojado" otherwise known as the "Angry one" due to his first impression of being a pissed off lunatic in command on the field. However even though he soon proved to be a meaningful alley the
nickname "Enojado" stuck and he was from then on called Sergeant E. "Shiite." He coughed flicking the butt of the cigar into the ocean. "What is it. Sir?" a young teenager approached the Gear, the evacuation had forced Civilians and
Gears alike on boats. "Nothing kid, life's going to be easier from here on out." Sergeant E. not only dwarfed the teen in both size but in muscle mass. "You think so?" The kid smiled "Yeah…" He lied through his smirk.
