Soldiers Fight: Chapter 3
Loss of Life
Someone will die, but whom?
"Jim, what are we going to do?" asked Sara.
"Stand very still. If they don't know that we are alive, they may leave" said Jim.
"That is a very bad plan"
"I am thinking!"
"Stop thinking!" yelled Sara as she fired a grenade at the Zerglings in front of her. The explosion sent the Zerglings into the air. The dead creatures fell on the ground with a loud thud.
"Move!" yelled Sara.
Jim and Sara ran through the dead Zerglings. The other living Zerglings were stunned by the blast, but quickly gave chase. The ground was covered with blood from the previous massacre, and it made running a difficult task. Jim jumped over a dead Marine, kicking the helmet along with the head off. The Zerglings attacked the carcass eating all that they could.
Jim and Sara Jumped behind a rock and waited for the creatures. A minute passed, then two, then five, but the Zerglings did not come. "I think we lost them" said Jim.
"No, they are still out there" replied Sara.
"Should we stay?"
"When I say to, run."
"Gotcha"
"RUN!" yelled Sara as she bolted down the path. Jim followed her as closely as he could. The Zerglings burrowed out of the ground where Jim and Sara previously were. It was a trap. The Zerglings were smart.
Sara saw an empty tank in front of her, about 80 feet away. "Jim, get in the tank and fire at the Zerglings!"
"All right. What about you?"
"I'll be fine, just do it!"
Jim jumped into the tank and started the engine. The tank had two more rounds in it. Jim fired one just as Sara jumped behind the vehicle. It passed over the Zerglings and hit a Hydralisk, exploding it into a thousand bloody pieces. "Dammit Jim! Watch your aim!" yelled Sara.
Jim aimed again. He locked onto the Zergling pack. He closed his eyes and pressed the button. He held it, but there was no sound except for the running Zerglings. He pressed the button again, no fire. "Jim fire the damn shell!"
"I can't!" replied Jim. "It's jammed!"
"No crap Sherlock!" said the tank's onboard computer.
"Shut up you god forsaken machine!" replied Jim. "Sara get in the tank!"
Sara jumped up and got in just as the Zergling pack got to the tank. They slashed at the tanks tough armor. But the armor was not enough to stop the claws from getting through. The Zerglings would make it through in a minute. But then Jim saw a group of Goliaths coming their way. Before he knew it, they were firing their machine guns at the Zerglings. The first couple of creatures just exploded splashing blood on the tank's visor. The other ones went to attack the Goliaths, but they were ripped apart by gunfire.
Goliaths are the Terran's support walkers. The are powerful mechas, able to withstand great blasts. Their main flaw is their primary weapon, machine guns. They simply aren't powerful enough to go through armor. But their secondary weapon makes up for this. The Goliaths have rear-mounted anti-aircraft missiles, able to take out even Battlecruisers.
Jim and Sara got out of the Tank and walked to the Goliath pack. There were four of them, and they were all in bad shape. One of the pilots got out. He was a short man, with a bald head. He also had an eye-patch.
"Hey Jim!" the man yelled. Jim recognized the man as Jacob Prowler, the leader of the Bravo Goliath Squadron.
"Hey Jaco.." before Jim could finish Jacob's head fell off his shoulders and landed at Sara's feet. She screamed. A pack of Hydralisks attacked the Goliaths. The Hydralisks fired their spines into the Goliaths armor, instantly killing the pilots. Jim and Sara watched as their only hope of getting to the base was slaughtered. Sara started to run, but Jim stayed in place and raised his gun.
Jim fired off three shots in unison, and they hit the pack of Hydralisks, throwing them of the Goliaths. They appeared dead, but one started to get up. Then they all did. Jim decided to get the hell out. He ran to Sara. "Run!" he screamed. They both ran again. Jim saw a missile turret and ran toward it.
"What are you doing?!" yelled Sara.
"I have an idea!"
Jim climbed up the Turret and aimed it at the Hydralisks. He waited for Sara and he pressed the manual fire button. The Turret launched four missiles at the Hydralisks, creating a crater and sending the snake-like creatures into the air. Jim was about to say something when Sara said "Jim; it's a Dropship!"
A Dropship landed behind them and unloaded a few Marines. "Time to go Mr. Raynor" said one of them. Jim and Sara ran to the Dropship and got in. It took off immediately. Sara hugged Jim. "We are going to get out of here."
"How are we in losses?" Jim asked one of the Marines.
"Total sir"
"Oh my god."
2000 Marines, Firebats, SCV's, and scientists were gone. All bases had been destroyed. The mission was a failure. The only thing left for Jim and the others was to go home.
"How many of us are there?" asked Jim.
"14 sir" replied a Marine.
"Plus a few SCV suit..." the Marine did not even finish when a large shaking erupted in the ship. A giant hole opened up in the side of the craft. A marine got sucked out into the world.
"Were going down!" yelled the pilot.
Sara held Jim as the ship went down to the planet. "I love you Sara" said Jim. "I love you too" she replied.
The ship was tearing apart as it went down. A Marine screamed as his arm was cut off from a piece of flying metal. Another screamed and cried for his mother. It was pure chaos as parts of the ship flied off in mid-air. Jim leaned and kissed Sara on the lips. The ship crashed into the scorched planet.
