So That Others May Live

by zachmartin304

The United States military has learned how to use time travel. A U.N. sanctioned offensive has been launched, dubbed Operation: Restore Hope II. Meet Samuel, a Divergent teen and his friends in a last ditch effort to take down the factionless regime. I DO NOT OWN ANY RIGHTS TO ANYTHING FROM THE DIVERGENT TRILOGY. Rated M for scenes of intense violence and very strong language.

11. Chapter 11: Revenge is a Bitch

CHAPTER ELEVEN

"AWWW FUCK NO!" I screamed, dragging Michael's body into a nearby alley. "MEDIC!"

I started removing Michael's body armor and opening his uniform as the medic weaved his way over to our position. Michael started freaking out from the shock of him being shot.

"Rabbit, you've gotta calm down, you bleed more when you're nervous. Snow, lay him on his back..." The medic pulled out a needle that contained some type of medicine, adrenaline I think he called it? Anyways, the medic continued to do his work as Michael moaned in delirium.

"Ybarra! Call for MEDEVAC!" the medic shouted.

"O'Hare, O'Hare, this is Bravo One Six Actual over!" Ybarra radioed behind an embankment.

"Go ahead Bravo One Six."

"O'Hare, we're under heavy fire, need close air support. We also need MEDEVAC, over!"

"Copy that, One Six. ETA five minutes. O'Hare out."

Ybarra crawled over to the medic, who was still attending to Michael. "MEDEVAC will be here, five mikes."

"Bullshit. Nothing ever takes five minutes!# Dammit... Ybarra, call back to base. We need that MEDEVAC now!"

Ybarra started radioing back to base when I felt a tug on my body armor. I looked down, and Michael was getting pale. Really pale. He started moaning, his speech slurred.

"Sam...Sam..." Michael moaned.

"Mike, you're gonna make it. You gotta stay awake." Michael kept moaning my name.

"Michael, stay awake!" I started slapping his face gently in order to keep him awake. "You're gonna pull through."

Michael took my hand in a death grip. "Sam, tell Lydia to be strong..." his voice faded off as he blacked out.

"MICHAEL!" I started screaming uncontrollably. "I'm gonna kill every last one of those fucking bastards..."

I stood up and screamed "SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!" as the bullets sprayed from my SAW across the line of factionless soldiers. I kept my finger on the trigger long after I heard the clicking of the firing pin telling me I was out of ammunition.

Sergeant Patterson put his hand on my shoulder. "Snow! You're gonna get shot! Get to cover!"

I looked back with only scorn in my eyes. I pulled my M9 out and started firing.

"Dammit Snow! Get your ass back here!"

I turned to face him, and that's when the grenade went off.
