Spartans never die
By: Eragon Auditore
A hissing sound could be heard as Andrew ran back from the enemy. He jumped over the burned rock and started blindly firing at the hostiles, he heard two grunt as he peeked over seeing their sparking outlines before almost being hit by a shot. Andrew turned to one of his squadmates, Shawn. Andrew shouted "SHAWN GET DOWN NOW, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT...". Shawn didn't hear him and continued to fire, when one pulled out a blue orb throwing it at them. It lands by Shawns feet and explodes sending him flying backwards as chunks of his legs went everywhere.
Andrew heard Zach scream "JESUS CHRIST SHAWN" he runs over, being the team's medic leaving Andrew and Ben to defend their position. Angered by the grenade he stands up and starts shooting at the enemy as one hits him in the arm burning through his armor and clothes searing the skin. He dropped back down screaming, Ben took that as his cue and stood up Immediately getting his torso roasted by the shower of plasma. Falling back still breathing somehow, Andrew scooted over and took his hand, the battle seemed to quiet down as Andrew spoke "Stay with me Ben you aren't dying like this"
Ben responded weakly "I… I don't th...ink you have a ch...choice in this, Drew"
"you bet your ass I do"
he laughs softly weakening as he's cooked outside in "we both know I'm gonna die, just promise me one thing will you? when the others forget, promise you'll... remember me... "
His head falls to the side facing Andrew as something leaves Ben's eyes. He slowly looks around Human blood was spilled and he was sitting in it, covered by it, it was the only thing he could smell, it was all he could feel, taste, and see. Suddenly a muffled lazer sound could be heard he looks up and sees a hole in the side of Zach's head as he slumped over dead. Andrew sat there motionless looking at the bodies of his friends when a large shadow appeared over him.
The creature stepped over the rock, Andrew laid there pretending to be dead. After a few minutes the squad of four stepped over the wall, Andrew quietly got up to a crouching position and pulled out his knife. He grabbed one and pulled him back stabbing him in the neck causing its shield to deactivate and spark, making a noise causing the others to look as he pulled the knife out of it. They started firing as Andrew used the body as a shield running at one and cutting its throat spraying blood over the other two making them cover their face as he jumped off and running up to another one climbing on its back snapping its neck and and throwing his knife into the leg of the final tango.
he picks up the creature and pulls out his knife "WHY THE HELL DID YOU COME HERE"
the thing responds in its own language "Kiv moux cha"
Unable to understand this creature Andrew throws it against the wall and it gets knocked out, he zip ties its hands and calls for a Medivac. He sat back down next to Ben again and simply looked at the blank yet accusing expression on his face. He sat and thought about the events that just occurred, he thought and thought, he simply could not explain what happened, that's when he noticed pain across his back and then suddenly the world went black.
