----------Chapter 4----------
Bee Hive
Alan and Emerald both stepped off of the landing platform. The other four marines slowely coming. The squad consisted of Avion , Duleson, Emerald, Kashin, Sa-ron, and Wilson. Alan was still having trouble breathing after the shocking zergling experience on the dropship.
"Are you sure your ok Lieutenant," Emerald asked fear in his eyes as though Alan was a madman and would kill him any second. "It was just a terrible dreamish memory I have had them every since..." Alan grunted his voice trailed off. "Never mind that, Emerald I want you and Avion to set up base camp at these coordinates eight-zero-zero and eight-one-zero.
Avion nodded as Alan gave them a map "stay on the com channel...report any activity" Avion and Emerald give a leap over a log and were off into the jungle. "This is pilot gamma-thirteen Varen i am ready for take off move marines away from the launch pad." Alan nodded at the pilot in the dropship"Pick us up here tomorrow same time,this is Kashin over and out."
Alan signaled the marines away from the dropship as he leaped over the log to the outskirsts of the jungle. The dropships metallic engines came to life as the dirt flew from the ground as it commenced lift off. "Report Avion," Alan gruntled threw the com channel. "Uh... we dont have any activity we are setting up basecamp at eight-zero-zero is that what was instructed sir?
"Yes Avion did you get the part on eight-one-zero also." The com channel was silent for a second ardo watched the dropship pull up and away from the planet leaving the marines alone with only the forests, miles away from civilization. "Uh...Emerald is working on that he is range so we can see each other sir."
"Good we are coming in there in a second." Alan replied. "Pick up the equipment boys," Alan said as he grabbed a couple bags. The marines silently picked up theres and headed after Alan into the jungle. Most of the marines on his team were wearing CMC-300's but Alan was fortuant enough to get a 400. "Oh god..."Sa-ron said threw the com channel.
"What is it Sa-ron?" Alan asked dumbfounded. "I got movement over the ridge to the left the Zerg are swarming down there." Alan froze..."It looks like that is there base sir, or one of them...sir" Sa-ron said with a shaky voice. Alan was frozen in his footsteps "WHAT!?" The marines took a step backwords from Alan's yell. Alan walked back to where Sa-ron stood.
"This is Emerald is everything ok sir?" Alan saw the base it was extrodinary the base seemed to be alive every single one of its so called buildings. Alan grimaced " Oh boy...Emerald,Avion pull back to launch pad immediatly we uh... got a problem." Alan signaled the rest of the marines back to the launch pad "If we are in the open they wont be able to hide in the jungle."
"Who? the Zerg? Now!" Avion's voice went hoarse. "Thats right get your little butts back here pronto!" Alan yelled threw the com-channel. The marines dropped there bags and held there C-14's firmly. They stood in the center of the dropship's launch pad. "Emerald whats taking you to so long!" A scream went over the com channel of Avion...or so Alan thought.
"EMERALD!" Alan screamed threw the com channel but there was no reply just the screaming of Avion. Alan signaled to Duleson to follow him. As soon as they approached the tree line Emerald ran out carrying Avion whos leg had been knawned off to his knee with one hand the other firing into the forest.
"Go to the center with Sa-ron and Wilson," Alan managed out ,signaling Duleson to follow him but he had adressed Emerald. They all regrouped in the middle "Sir," Sa-ron screamed. "What is that!" Alan turned looking at the dog sized creature running towards them blood thirsty.
"Zergling, fire at will!" Alan had forgot that Sa-ron had never been in battle against the Zerg along with Duelson . The claws erupted from the zergling as it shrieked running towards the six marines or five and three fourths. "Why didnt the commander check this area before making us land here!" Emerald screamed at Alan as if it was Alans fault.
"Good question," Alan said pulling up his C-14 at the incoming zergling he noticed that Sa-ron was to scared to fire. "Sa-ron fire at the damn thing!" The bullets erupted from Alans rifle they arched towards the mindless creature. Its screams grew louder as its ichor splattered on the dirt of the jungle.
The zergling shaked its head moaning but it did not stop its charge towards Sa-ron. Alan knew that i wouldnt until it was dead. If it died in time it neared the group at ten meters. Sa-ron finally snapping out of it raised his C-14 and began firing long bursts as his training had taught him. Bullet holes consumed the creature and it slowed and collapsed five meters from them.
He noticed the other marines had a handfull of zerglings on each of them. "Sir, any plans theres ten of em!" Emerald yelled switching targets after each burst. The zerglings knew that they had the marines and thats what was funny to Alan. He knew exactly what it was thinking.
"Good lord, they wont die!"Duleson screamed in fear. "Alan noticed how shakey Duleson and Sa-ron were, and that may be there un doing."Any plans now!!!"Emerald screamed again at Alan. "Well if im thinking correctly they will spread out when they reach around ten meters so they can get us from all sides."
"And," Emerald calmly said happily knowing that Alan had a plan."I got meat in my bag if we throw it out there then they'll go for the closest thing to them." Emerald glared at Alan for a second..."Its worth a shot!" Alan reached down and opened his bag and threw the meat out there. The zerglings were about ten meters when he threw it but he threw it before they could spread out and they charged at the meat.
"FIRE,"Alan yelled threw the com channel. Emerald knew as well as Alan that the meat wouldnt last more than a few seconds but it would give them time. The bullets swam threw the wind. Avion looked up at the zerglings moaning in pain "Great there goes our dinner!"
Wilson laughed mostly at how the zerglings were so dumb to not come for him when he was killing it,And the meat wasnt. Alan gave a wry smile and a zergling collapsed. Emerald got a kill also and the second collapsed. The bullets swam towards the zerglings almost as though it was impossible to miss.
They put there claws and heads in the air and made a mad scream. The meat was depleated. And the zerglings continued there assault. As they spread out a third fell to the ground by Sa-ron. Its corpse rotting in the wind, insects quickly went towards it. They were just about as hungry as the zerglings.
The zerglings had spread out now with the loss of four. But six remained one for each marine. They charged quickly going from ten to eight meters from the squad. Alans zergling collapsed first and respecting Emerald the most went for his zergling. The zerglings neared to seven meters now and Alan began to wonder if they would live threw this.
He could tell that Emerald thought the same. Emeralds zergling twisted and fell breaking its legs and the bullets errupted on its weak caraspace finishing it off. "Thank you," Emerald quickly said threw the com channel to Alan. They were five meters from Alans squad now and Emerald and Alan began firing on other zerglings.
Alan couldnt help going for Sa-rons next he felt so sorry for the man he must have been scared out of his wits. "Four meters and closing" he heard Wilson say threw the com channel. The Savage zerglings did not stop though even though there were three remaining. They roared a battle cry in truimph but Alan knew that they would not destroy one of his squad while he was here.
Avion in pain still, picked up his C-14 he couldnt resist leaving his squad in danger and rained spikes on the nearest zergling. Which collapsed and Avion switched targets. "Three meters...there pouncing! Wilson called threw the com channel.
The zerglings stopped putting there weight on there hind legs there eyes holding a deep power. That Ardo felt when he experienced his zergling thing on the dropship. Saliva and blood dripped from the creatures mouth. Showing it was starving. As they opened there mouth Alan finally saw how big a zerglings teeth were. And they were huge! The hind legs gave way and they jumped.
Wilson and Duleson were the ones in danger. Extinctively Alan and Emerald both helped Wilson. Wilson's zergling landed on him...dead pushing the marine downwards. Everyone switched targets to Duleson's but it had knocked the marine down now and its claws tore through the marines armor "Nooooo!" Alan screamed threw the com channel shooting the zergling.
Duleson cried in pain "Hel...me..." Alan saw something that scared him overwhelmingly. The zergling had the most wicked smile on its face as it chewed threw its prey with its claws that Alan had ever seen. Fortuantely the creature died. Unfortuantely Duleson died with it
Alan stared down into the eyes of Duleson they were open and cold. Duleson's mouth hung open in fear. Sa-ron cried then. Alan's world became a blur he was fighting the memory of his father being killed in his head. And he won, for the first time he had fought a memory and won. He won two battles today though Sa-ron cried a wry smile crept up on Alans face.
Alan and Emerald both stepped off of the landing platform. The other four marines slowely coming. The squad consisted of Avion , Duleson, Emerald, Kashin, Sa-ron, and Wilson. Alan was still having trouble breathing after the shocking zergling experience on the dropship.
