Lost Planet

It was just another day at on EDN III. People were hard at work around camp repairing the fenses, fixing damaged VS, or finding food on this harsh frozen planet.

I had gone to the well to get some water for my family. I was on my way back when I looked up at the sky and say smoke rising from the direction of camp. I dropped my water bucket and ran as I could. I removed my revolver from it's holster and walked in through the gates. It was there that I saw it. Three colossal King Krab Akrid swinging there claws smashing everything in sight (including the VS of a some idiots who tried to fight it).

The whole village was in flames there were people screaming and running for their lives as all kinds of Akrid swarmed in.

Then I took off in the of my family's hut, shooting or batting away the smaller Akrid and avoiding the larger ones. Then my family's hut came into view, but not in the way I had hoped it would. The hut was burning and falling apart and I immediately knew that I had just lost everything, my mother, my father, and my little sister.

I fell to my knees and watched as the fires burnt down the only home I had ever known. "It's can't be, it just can't." I said breathing heavily.

Then with rage overflowing I got up and raced to the garage were all the camps VS were stored. I kicked the down off its hinges and I raced in. I climbed up a ladder and got in the most intact one I could see. A VS rocket launcher and VS gatlin gun were fastened onto it as I activated it.

Then I fired a rocket and blasted my way out of the building. I then charged out on the VS and targeted the back of the nearest King Crab Akrid. I fired a rocket at it's back and it was a direct hit. Several ice spikes shattered and broke of it's back.

Enraged, the beast turned around and swung it's claw at my VS. I dodged it and it's claw crashed into the mountain side leaving it's glowing elbow uncovered. I began firing both my weapons at it and in almost no time at all the glowing part of its arm burst and the claw froze.

The beast rored in pain and anger, and as it opened it's mouth I fired a rocket which went straight into the Akrid. Then with Thermal Energy leaking from it's mouth, the Akrid turned into ice.

Then I heard a roar from behind me and before I could turn around to look, something crashed into my VS sending me flying out. I landed in the snow with a painful thud.

Then I felt the warm trickle of blood and I passed out.
