He lowered his gun at the wounded alien crawling away, and fired a single shot. The alien stopped moving, and died on the asphalt.
The one who shot him walked on, the rain pouring over his blue armor, and his mind wandered as he walked. All around him were the skeletal structures of the aliens vehicles. All torn and ruined. He saw the bodies of his comrades, on with a large spike sticking out of his neck.
This alien species is quite brutal. They ignore our cries for mercy when they pin us down, preparing for the killing strike.
But, they never surrender, even when the odds are against them. They have been put into several situations that we would have surrendered, accepting defeat. But they seem to know no defeat. For this, we have lost many great soldiers.
The lone soldier passed dead aliens, who had been killed a few days ago, considering their decay.
Maybe they fight for religeous reasons. Perhaps their gods demand them to fight for them. Wow, that was a weird guess. They'd be the same as us.
But these aliens, even in defeat, they fight to the last one standing. Certainly, they have to fight for some cause, but I don't know. Perhaps it's for the life of their offspring. I mean, they wouldn't fight for nothing right?
We were the ones to start the war. They are powerless to stop us. All I want to know is why they fight so hard. They usually run. We outnumber them. We crush them. We destroy their planets. What do they fight for? Money? Glory? Fame?
The soldier walked up a hill, coming across a battlefield. His side was engaging the aliens head on, and he wasn't surprised when they were winning. A single alien charged at him, holding a weapon that proved to be effective at close ranges. He clicked his mandibles in excitement, and aimed his Carbine at the alien, and fired.
The plasma tore through the alien's flesh, killing it instantly. The Elite then saw the answer to his question. The aliens, known to them as humans, were herding several other humans into a ship. They were protecting the civilians.
They fight for survival.
The Prophets demanded their extinction. Why? What do I fight for?
