Chapter3: Travel to Base Charlie

Marcus starred at Finny. He wanted to ask him if he had any fault at all. But it would be rude. It was killing him seeing a better soldier than him. So he asked.. "I know this is rude but do you have any flaws?" he asked nervously.

"Of course I do. Doesn't everybody have at least one flaw?" he replied. As usual Marcus knew he had a very good point.

"What are they?" he asked nervously.

"Yeah this is a bit of a big problem but-" he stuttered. "I have AIDS." he replied. Everyone starred at him after that. He was embarrassed and hated to bring it up.

"Um sorry for brining it up, and I feel bad for you." Marcus sorrily said to him. He felt bad for bringing it up.

"Its all-" there was a loud roar. "Sh-t. Locust soldiers." Finny barked and dove for cover on the right side of the boat.

"For the Queen!!!" fifty Locusts soldiers said in unison on a boat to the side of theirs.

"F-ck!!!" yelled Marcus. The five COG soldiers shot out the boat at the locust. They each shot one whole clip. With a total of 10 kills. The locust on the other hand injured Baird Cole and Dom. It was now up to Marcus and Finny.

"How the h-ll are we gonna do this Marcus?" Finny yelled to him. Finny took out a grenade. "Throwing frag!!!" he shouted.

"I don't know." he barked he.Shot fifteen killing 5 enemies.

At that time a Nemacyst came flying over the boat shot the engine of the boat. The five COG soldiers were throw of the boat into the muddy water of the lake. As they were trying to swim to find cover Marcus noticed they were missing a soldier. "DOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Marcus barked the very top of his lungs.

"Marcus, he's dead forget about him think of your own live." Baird yelled to him. They saw his head float by. "Now its for sure lets get out of here!!!" Baird screamed.

Marcus at a huge rage problem and he let it out. He jumped onto the boat holding thirty-five enemy soldiers. He shot his whole Lancer ammo , shotgun ammo , and pistol ammo killing 20 of them. Then he used his chainsaw bayonet to kill the last fifteen. But then he forgot about the Nemacyst and it shot him 20 times in the legs. Marcus for the first time of his life was in a pool of his own blood.

"MARCUS IS HIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Cole yelled while shooting at the Nemacyst with the help of the other two COG soldiers. It was killed but there was great damage to Delta Squad. They had to swim across the rest of the lake with Marcus on Cole's back and get to base Charlie.

"We need to get to out of the lake." Finny said. Swimming to the boat.

"But the nearest land is back near Delta base and we will get our a-ses kicked by the army." Cole yelled to him. The COG soldiers bickered and argued until they made up their mind and went back .

"Okay we just have to go around." Baird said. They got to land. "Okay this is covert we have to sneak around the enemies." he said. They snuck around but then Cole's fat a-s body got them exposed and they had to fight again.

"Were down two men and there is 500 hundred of them." Cole barked. He shot at the soldiers. But at that moment the King Raven flew over head with two other choppers. In one there was omega squad. In another there was alpha squad. And in the last there was foxtrot. Four groups opened fire on any non human being they could see. But they would not be able to defeat them.

"We are brining down the King Raven prepare to come aboard.." the pilot Sargent Johnson. It dropped down and Delta squad came aboard. "Where are you men heading to?" the pilot asked.

"Base Charlie would be nice. Are base was overrun and are commanding officer was killed by a berserker. We have orders to go to Base Charlie." Said Baird.

It took an hour or so too get there but they made it. "So this is Base Charlie. It looks better than I thought." remarked Finny.

"Well lets get to command find out our orders. Guys get some rest first and try to remember to fight for Dom got it." Baird said.

"Okay." they all replied. All they knew was it would be a hard life without Dom by their side.
