It is a slaughter house.
Rita runs into battle ignoring the shouts, screams, and sound of gunfire. She takes up her sword and doesn't flinch at the explosion five feet away from her position. She will fight and she will take down each and every one of the Mimics that crosses path with hers today.
She takes a precious second to wonder how the enemy knew that they were coming. She nearly pays for that with her left arm.
She slashes and twists and punches and kicks and fires her gun and in the heat of the battle she cannot help but feel regret; regret at the loss of the time resetting power.
Out of nowhere, a soldier comes slamming into her armored body—both of them tearing through the hull of a nearby dropship. She catches a glimpse of frantic blue eyes and she entertains a notion of emptying a whole case into the person's head. But then he starts talking and all words catch in her throat. She watches as the soldier shoots a barrage of bullets into the ceiling, a Mimic falling dead soon after, and then as if in afterthought, he picks up his other gun and shoots a volley of bullets to the side, killing another Mimic, and Rita can't help but hope.
He keeps shouting things at her, but she isn't listening anymore. She follows him and sees again how he shoots before the enemy shows up. As if he can predict their movements. As if he knows what is going to happen.
"This ship is about to explode!" he shouts at her, his face twisting into a look of dread and fear and anger when he sees that she has stopped walking.
But Rita can't help but hope. She drops her sword. Because if it was true, then there was no point in prolonging this moment. She takes a gamble. And she says:
"Find me when you wake up."
His face is that of confusion. She has the time to realize that this must be the first time he has this conversation.
She can't help but hope. Death doesn't scare her anymore. Not today.
She sees his face twists in disbelief and horror. She can feel the increasing heat at her back.
She can't help but hope.
"Come find me when you wake up—"
The world turns red.
AN: Gosh, I'm surprised how much I enjoyed this movie. Watched it twice already and I could easily watch it again.
