Note-Fanfic has been down and that is the reason why I havent been updating
in a while. No more talk, here is Chapter 4
Chapter 4
"So it all comes down to this. The human race being torn apart by these insect freaks." the Captain stated.
His words surprised us as we turned around and faced him.
"We thought we were ready for anything, but little did we know about this scourge that is ravaging our land. We were fools to believe we were ready. Look at this battlefield. Hundreds of soldiers lying dead, all because we were not ready."
"We couldn't have done anything Captain. We tried our hardest, but these damn Zergs just keep coming and coming." I responded a bit uneasily.
"No more talk, gentleman. Fighting is at hand. The only thing I can say is.. It was an honor to fight alongside u men." The Captain said with a weird tone.
I could hear the Corporal muttering about a bunch of bullshit the Captain was saying about honor and how we were all going to die. We stared at the rushing Ultralisks and without a word began to prepare. I began to reload my rifle and at the same time looking at the Ultralisks. They were closing the distance rapidly. We had no place to run, with a series of cliffs behind us.
The Ultralisks were almost in firing range. I could see the Captain trying to aim at one of them. I steadied my rifle and picked out a target and waited for it to arrive.
"Fire!!!" screamed the Captain and we began to fire on the Ultralisks. The Ultralisks that were getting hit were slowing down a bit, but I could tell that they would still reach us. The corporal was readying his flamethrower and we kept shooting the Ultralisks that refused to die.
"Don't these son of a bitches ever die! Damn!" I screamed to myself.
One of the Ultralisks eventually gave out and fell to the ground, his body bursting with a blue color.
"Finally!!" Yelled the Corporal.
My rifle was beginning to warm up and I could feel the heat coming off of it. The Ultralisks were 100 yards away and we were still shooting. The Ultralisk coming toward us had so many bullet holes in his body; it looked a lot like a demented piece of swiss cheese. Cursing at my rifle, all I could do was keep shooting. Corporal Marty began to use his flamethrower and the second Ultralisk fell in a matter of seconds.
There was a big problem though. We looked at each other in puzzlement. Where was the 3rd Ultralisk. There were trees surrounding our sides and an open plain in front of us. Where could such a huge ugly monster have disappeared to?
A roar came from our side as a tree fell down, and the Ultralisk was coming down on us hard. Out of complete shock, I stumbled and fell. None of us were prepared for this Ultralisk and it was almost on me.
In desperation I began to look for my rifle, but I couldn't find it. The Ultralisk was 10 feet away from me, and I was saying my prayers to the whoever the high powered one was and begged him to let me live. Shielding my face with my hands, I tried to picture what the afterworld would be like.
I could hear screaming close to me and I opened my eyes to see the Ultralisks grabbing the Captain. The Captain was screaming in pain from having those huge blades literally cutting him up.
"Take this you son of a bitch!" screamed the Captain and in a desperate attack he raised his rifle and shot a bunch of rounds into the Ultralisks eyes. The Ultralisk fell with a thud and I ran to check up on the Captain.
When I got there, I knew that the Captain had no chance of surviving that vicious assault. I was right about him being dead as I was staring at the Captains face. It had a grim smile on it, like it had the final laugh. I closed his eyes and I wondered why he would do such a stupid thing for me. Sacrificing his life so I could live. This human instinct was a weird thing.
The Corporal was cursing, but even I could tell he was shaken up. Then from the sky we heard sounds as a dropship cruised down next to us. Finally something went right. Marines came out from the dropship and the Corporal stood up and with furious anger began to scream at them.
"Took you stupid fuckers, long enough to get your fucking ass here. Nice timing too, cruising on down when the fucking battle is over." Corporal Marty yelled.
Sorry sir. We got delayed and.
"Shut up! None of your fucking excuses. We are the only survivors from this freakin battle and I for one want to get the hell out of here." Corporal Marty yelled once more.
"Roger that Corporal." Stated one of the marines.
We got into the dropship, and I couldn't believe that I was still alive and all because one man decided to give me his life for mine. The dropship rose once more and we were off. I was tired and slowly closed my eyes and drifted off.
Chapter 5 will come soon.!!! Please read and review. (Things did get a little better right? ^^)
