CHAPTER FOUR: THE ATTACK

"Jones, Everything is ready"

Jones put down the binoculars and took in the coolness of the shade they were in. He looked at the 20 Marines, Lined up Prefectly looking out into the Canyon. The Goliths ready to fire.

"Fire..." He said quietly.

"What, sir?"

"Fire the nuke"

"Fire!" He screamed into the radio. A huge explosion hit to their left. The Mutalisks flew over.

Jones looked through the binoculars. "The rest arn't moving!"

"What shall I do?"

"We cant wait any more, we haft to get down there before the Mutalisks get back, Charge men!!!!!"

The Marines started to run down into the cannon. Sounds of screaming, roars and gunshots where heard. The Goliths stood near the edge shooting down.

"Get me a gun"

"Admril Jones we cannot risk you too"

"Those are my men down there, I'm going in"

"Yes sir"

Jones ran down, stepping over dead bodies he shot at Hydralisks with the remaining Marines. Soon they were all down, all exept for a Ultralisk. It charged slicing marines with its huge claws.

"Into the Command Center!" They ran into it as the Ulralisk roared outside.

"Sir we cant hold it off for long"

Jones knew, He stared at it trying to get in. He was steping on a dead Zerglings head. But he didn't care. All he cared about was getting away from the Ultralisk.

"Okay men, regroup, theres 9 of us left, 10 including me. We spread and spearch in squads of 3, I will go alone. Find the Survivors and report back in 10 minutes. Lets move"

"Go!" They all split off.



"What was that?" Syke finished building his seige tank as the rumbles and gunshots stopped.

"The Rescue team!" Bob shouted, "There here!"

"Im done," Robert stepped out from his SCV. A Hydralisk jumped from behind him.

"Behind you!"

He turned to shoot but it spat Its green acid-like saliva on him and killed him.

"No!!"

Bob ran forward, he shot its head off. Then 3 Zerglings popped out from the ground.

"Shoot, how long have those things been there?" Syke hoped in his tank and started driving out the door, the other did the same. They almost reached the exit when a Ultralisk stood in their way. It flipped Heth's tank out of the way and roared.

Syke and Bob imediantly started shooting at it. With everyblast the Ultralisk bonced back but it stayed alive and ready to fight. Just then 10 Marines shot it in the eye, it fell over in pain. The Marines ran up to the tanks, Syke jumped out ignoreing them and running to Heths tank.

"Heth! Heth are you alive!?" She crawled out, her body bloody and bruised.

"Heth!" They both hugged for a bit then got back to work.

"Who are you?" Heth asked in a horse voice.

"The Rescue team, We all heard the noise from down the hall. We need to get to our base. We have a dropship there.

"We cant," Bob said, "Those Mutalisks are going to be pretty mad when they return"

"We go really fast then. Attack them head on if we haft to, theres 3 goliths outside. Plus your 3 seige tanks."

"A Suicide Assult?"

"No, an Assult to hurt them enuff to get out in time"

"Then lets go"
