Chapter 10

Salvage

Jack kicked open the blockage of opened cans and tables out of the way. As dust cleared he looked around pointing his lancer forward. Jack noticed an open dock of containers along with loaders approaching it slowly he looked inside seeing only Gear bodies piled inside. Lowering his lancer he thought about his brothers. Mary tapped his back as she knew what he was feeling, looking at his right hand wrist. Jack remembered Mary's white cloth as he smiled remembering the day they met. Bronx read a sign as it said in black itched letters.

"Food Storage 457"in black letters

"Hey guys over here" yelled Bronx as he chainsawed the chain off

Opening the large metal doors of the blue container. Bronx stared at the 3 boxes of large supplies that were tied down inside.

"We in business" said Bronx

"Raven are you in bound for pick up?" asked Sarah over the radio

"Light the signal flare in 7 minutes and I'll be there" said The pilot

"Roger that" said Sarah

Jack jumped into a loader and started it up. The mechanical yellow exoskeleton of the loader came to life as Jack moved inside of forward the footsteps became heavy and could be felt. Fade looked around as he heard a small yell from the distance.

"Locust..Protect the supplies" said Fade as he took point

Bronx untied the straps that held the supplies down. Jack walked towards the opened door container and jumped out of the loader. Bronx followed after his brother. Sarah ran to left trying to get a solid vantage point as she took aim ahead of them. Jack ran towards Mary and both covered the supplies behind a ruined car.

"Betcha I'll get more kills than you babe" said Mary smiling

"HA-HA…Not this time Hun" said Jack while staring into her eyes

Fade and Bronx opened fired into a couple of wretches as they wildly jumped around. Sarah's scope caught a glimpse of a Locust Drone aiming his mortar towards Jack and Mary. Squeezing her trigger slowly, the bullet flew directly into its skull before it fired. A Locust e-hole bursted along with 4 Theron Guards jumping out of it rushing towards cover. Jack and Mary looked up from cover and aimed their lancers. Both fired at the same time as Therons were caught off guard.

Fade curb stomped a wretch as it cried in pain. Bronx switched to his Boomshot and fired at the boomer that yelled aloud on his left. Fade jumped forward chain sawing a Locust Cyclops that was climbing out of the E-hole. Bronx jumped into the dropped boomshot and grabbed ahold of ammo. Sarah sniped a rushing revved up Cyclops from behind Bronx. Bronx looked back at her from a distance and nodded as he ran forward into cover. Sarah reloaded her sniper looking ahead of Fade she noticed a rushing, screaming Berserker.

"Michael, Bronx you both have a wild berserker closing in on you,10 feet ahead of you Bronx" said Sarah over the radio

"Damn these ladies love me so much" said Bronx

The blockage was slammed and thrown as the running berserker ran through them screaming and yelling. Bronx looked up pointing his boomshot and fired it into her. Fade ran forward tossing 2 grenades toward her, the explosions erupted into her face. The berserker slipped and fell blinded the fiery explosion in her burning face she wildly moved rapidly on the floor as Bronx fired another boomshot into her burning flesh. Her head exploded into pieces as he reloaded his weapon. Sarah looked back for Mary and Jack as she sniped a wretch, then reloaded and sniped a Grenadier.

In that moment of triumph a Corpser ripped through the ground and through a metal steel container. Its screams were loud as Jack looked back. Mary rushed over to the right, as she got its attention. Jack rushed over towards the back and fired his lancer into its bug like web butt. It screamed and quickly turned around stomping at Jack. Mary tossed a grenade, as it rolled onto the ground and stopped beside its tiny legs. The Corpser lifted its strong long legs up into the air at the moment Jack aimed at the grenade and fired as its legs exploded and caused it to fall. The Corpser screamed and stomped crazily around as it was being shot from different angles. Then it died as the boomshot finished it off.

Jack took in a deep breath and reloaded his lancer. Mary looked at him smiling as he looked at her and gave her a thumbs up. Fade walked over to them seeing them okay. Sarah rushed over to check on the supplies. They had mad it as Bronx jumped into the loader.

"Good work guys" said Sarah

"Raven's in bound" said the pilot

Fade popped the green smoke signaling the chopper for pick up. The Raven closed in on their location as it hovered above them with cable wires. Bronx had placed the supply boxes on top of each other as Sarah and Jack connected the cable wires to them, securing they won't fall. Bronx backed away as the pilot lifted the supplies.

"Alright you guys are going to have to walk back, I'll pick you up at the shore line" said the pilot

"Roger that" said Jack as he waved

Mary laughed as she looked at him

"You're just like a child when you see planes or helicopters goes by" said Mary

"Hun they're awesome" said Jack

"One last swipe then well head back" said Fade
