The second we exited the cave, we were lit up by gunfire. If there wasn't a large metal slap in the way, we'd be turned into swiss cheese. We all took cover behind the slab, just as a grenade went off on the other side.
"How many are there?!" I asked, as I looked up at the huge palace above me. We were in some sort of shanty town.
"Grab one!" Jonah said as he opened a locker containing a few pistols and five magazines of ammo. I slid a clip into the gun and cooked it, shooting a few bullets aimlessly over our cover.
"I've got an idea." Jonah said. He quickly darted from our cover to an array of sandbags to our left. He looked up and shit two bullets, and a Solarii came falling down from his cover in front of us. "Now!" He yelled as Reyes and I jumped up, discharging our weapons into the bodies of Solarii. I got at least three before having to reload with my only spare magazine.
"In the shed!" Reyes yelled as we headed into the small hut. We loomed up through a hike in the roof, seeing multiple canons fire into the bridge above us. It collapsed into a million little pieces hurling towards us. We took cover under a table as debris came down on top of us. We headed through the shanty town, only passing by a few Solarii who barely gave a fight.
"Over there! " I yelled as Sam discharged her AK-47 into three Solarii. We quickly joined in, as I grabbed another AK and Jonah traded his sidearm for a shotgun. We all went back to back in a four - person circle, each covering a corner of the courtyard we entered. The rotors of a chopper roared above us, and I REALLY hoped the Solarii weren't comendeering it.
A strike of electricity flowed down from the sky and hit the copper directly in the rotor, and it came tubing to the ground. What if Lara was in the chopper? The Solarii retreated from our trap and we quickly fled in the direction of the crashed chpper.
