Chapter 2: Stairs

Running as fast as her legs would take her, a young woman; in her early twenties ran up a stairwell. Unaware to hide, or to try and fight these locusts drones that were flooding all around her. She was classified as a stranded. She had no home; not anymore! The Grubs destroyed it!

Hearing a few minutes ago, the sound of a grenade the women figured someone was around. Pausing as she bent down behind a desk, she heard; "Up!" this voice didn't sound like a human, it sounded like one of the drones.

"Fuckin, great." Looking around, no real weapon were around her. Seeing a leg of a chair to the side of her hiding spot.

Marcus looked and saw fives locust drones running into another building, he could see them reaching the second level. "Oh, great. Delta we missed a few." He pointed in the direction were the drones were just seen.

"On, don't worry Marcus, they ain't gunna breath another second! I got ya'h." Cole was the first one on the run. Dom went chasing after Cole; he had a tendency to run off without hearing the rest of the plan.

"Baird-" Before the leader could resume speaking he heard a deep laughter emerging from a hole in the ground. "Oh great." He sighed, looking at Baird he knew they were going to have to take care of the grub hole before they could help the other two.

"Dom, we have a grub hole. Baird and I will take care of this, you and Cole get the Drones upstairs."

"Will do."

The young female looked over and saw one drone walk through the other door, which lead to another room. She was in the back corner of a larger room. Good thing that they were large objects; tables, desk, chairs, and bookshelves spread throughout the room.

A grunting sound was heard as one of the drones was being dragged down the stairs. Dom used his lancer to shoot the drones knee caps. Cole went in to chainsaw the same victim with a big ol' smile on his face. "That's how delta does it!"

Two drones were in the girl's sight but then ran back down the stairs to get rid of the Latino and black soldiers. Leaving two others up in on the second level. Smelling the air, a drone walked towards the back of the room.

Her teeth was chattering, the twenty-something year old gripped the small weapon she had. Looking up, she saw the two enemy units walking towards her. One, still sniffing the air like a predator looking for its prey. And she was the prey.

She kneeled and tossed the weapon, hoping, no praying that it would hit one of them just hard enough to knock them out cold for a while.

"There!" One of the drones said as he dodged the chair leg, the other got hit in the leg with it.

"Dom there's mo' up here." Cole ran up as he shot his lancer right at the two, he left one downstairs for Dom. Cole was sneaky and ran up the stairs to find the other two. Within minutes the drones were dead, and most of them split into pieces.
