Soldiers Fight: Chapter 2
Survival
Jim waited for death to come. He waited, and waited. The Zergling did not kill him. Jim looked back and saw the Zergling, it was scared. It took small steps away from Jim. Jim took out his knife and charged the creature. He slashed its face and took one of its legs off. The creature limped away. Jim looked at his knife. It was covered in blood. He re-holstered it. He started to walk away when he heard a loud bellowing. It shook the ground and caused Jim to lose his footing. Jim looked up and saw an Ultralisk running at him!
An Ultralisk is the Zerg's heavy support beast. It is the size of an elephant. It has two large scythes in front that are used for cutting humans and machines apart. The Ultralisk is very powerful and very fast, it can destroy Terran tanks with one slash.
The Ultralisk was about 900 feet away. Jim had to get away. He ran down the bridge behind him. The beast was catching up fast. Then Jim got an idea. He waited at the other side of the bridge. It was too narrow for the Ultralisk. It would not be able to cross. But it kept charging. When it got to the bridge it jumped and landed in the center of it. It then started to cross. It was going to kill Jim no matter what. The Ultralisk was going to cross in a minute. Even if Jim ran away, it would catch up to him eventually. Jim tried to cut the bridge, but it was made of iron and the knife would not go through.
Jim holstered his knife and started running. The Ultralisk made it over the bridge and chased after Jim. Jim ran as hard as he could. He tried leaping over the larger rocks, but he tripped on one and fell. The Ultralisk caught up to him and opened his scythes. It slashed at Jim but it only cut his armor. It slashed again, but then the Ultralisk exploded. Jim looked up and saw a squadron of Wraiths fly by. They must have seen the Ultralisk and killed it. Jim sat up and looked at the gaping hole in his suit. It was too large and the suit would not provide anymore protection. Jim got out of his suit, but kept the boots on. The hot ground would melt his feet. Jim looked around for a new suit. He saw a dead marine and took his. The suit was larger than Jim's, but it still had working life support and the gun had ammo. Jim started walking again.
Jim got back to the base only to find it was destroyed. Everyone was dead. "Hello!" Jim yelled.
"Hello!" someone replied.
Jim ran to the sound and found Sara Kerrigan. "Sara!"
"Jim, it's so good to see you" said Kerrigan. "Now help me up"
Jim helped Sara get on her feet. She was in bad shape. Her side was bleeding. A spine also hit her in her suit. Jim examined the spine. It did not go through the suit. Sara was very lucky.
"Where have you been?" asked Sara.
"I came from base Alpha to see how you guys were. I guess that I came too late."
"Are there any other survivors with you?"
"Not that I know of. We still have Wraiths with us though"
"Good. We need to get to base Charlie. The have air transport. I need to get my side patched up"
Jim and Sara started off. Charlie base was two clicks to the South. The path was covered with dead bodies. Most of the men had no heads. Some of them had no arms or legs. There was blood everywhere. Jim collected as many dog tags as he could.
Sara bent down and studied the ground. "Jim don't move"
" What is it?" asked Jim.
"We are surrounded by Zerglings. They are sleeping"
"How can you tell?"
" I am a ghost remember"
Jim started to say something when four Zergling jumped out of the ground. One slashed at Sara, but she shot it with her shotgun and it fell back. Another jumped at her, but Jim shot it away. More Zerglings jumped out of the ground. About twenty Zerglings surrounded Jim and Sara. They had no way out...
