Roughnecks: Termination

     "RUN! That is an order, RUN!" shouted Sergeant Matkins shouted.
    "What about the LT?" asked a man in his Twenties.
    A group of people in green Combat Suits-Three men and two women- were running from a swarm of flying creature.
     "He is dead Wilcops!" Matkins answered, " and so will we if we don't get out of here!"
      One man turned and looked at the swarm of creatures flying toward him. They were called 'Hoppers' The group of people were Troopers of the Human Federation fighting against the Arachnids-a race of Alien Bugs.
     The man stood there firing at the swarm of Hoppers. Sergeant Matkins turned and looked at the soldier firing at the Hoppers.
    "Justin! Come on!" Matkins ordered the soldier.
   "Ahhhh! You want some! Come get some! Ahhhhhh!" Justin screamed.
   The ground under Justin's feet started to bulge upwards and then collapsed. Justin jumped forward just as the ground collapsed. Justin turned to look into the hole just in time to see a four-legged creature came crawling out of the hole.
   The creature was a Warrior Arachnid and it was deadly! Justin started firing at the Warrior and it crumpled to the floor! Green blood leaking out of the bullet holes. Justin relaxed and started to reload his Pulse Rifle.
   Suddenly a Hopper swooped down from the sky and stabbed its two front claws into Justin's shoulders. The Hopper then lifted Justin into the sky.
    "Sarge! They got Justin! We have got to get out of here!" one of the woman shouted.
    "Calm down Moto! We need to get evac. Dendaw! Get the Roger Wilco on the horn!" Matkins ordered.
    A nearby man ran unto a hill and bent down. He put his hand onto his Helmet and started speaking, "Roger Wilco, this is Gamma Alpha Squad requesting Emergency Evac! Please come in Roger Wilco!"
    "Go ahead Gamma Alpha Squad, this is Roger Wilco. A Dropship has been dispatched to your location!" a voice answered back over the Radio.
   "Affirmative Roger Wilco! I guest we shouldn't have come to Klendathu, eh?" Dandaw said.
   The red background of the planet started to brighten as the Suns light hit the Planets Atmosphere. Dandaw stood up and ran back down to the other Troopers.
  "They're sending a Drop-ship down. I suggest we hold here!" Dandaw advised Matkins.
     "All right guys, we're camping! Set-up the Sand bags and the Portable Turret!"  The Sergeant ordered.
     Quickly the two women pulled off bags from their back and unzipped them. One woman pressed a button on her bag and it bag fell from her hand to the floor. She was wearing an Anti-Grav Bag.
    Quickly Dandaw pulled some Sand bags out and started to build a little Fort, while Matkins pulled a couple of boxes out of the other Bag. He opened the boxes and pulled out the Metal Components from inside, " Uetie come here and help me build the two Turrets!"
    Within fifteen minutes the Troopers had sent up a Mini Fort, Two Turrets on the side facing the Swarm of Arachnids and Sand Bags all around.
    "Sarge they're coming!" shouted Uetie.
    The ground and the sky where filled with Arachnids! Warriors and Hoppers. The Turrets started firing while the two Troopers not operating the Turret sat there silently.
   Row after row of Warriors fell dead to the floor while only odd Hoppers fell down from the Sky!
   A screech sounded from behind the Fort when a Hopper flew down and picked up a woman! Matkins quickly launched a grenade at the Hopper and it exploded in a burst of Green.
    "Sir we have got Comasoie Ripplers coming from our six!" Uetie shouted.
    Matkins turned and started fired at the Ripplers. Ripplers where another type of the flying Arachnids. There fired barbs of a bone-like material from their mouth.
    The first row of Ripplers fired a barrage of Barbs. Three hit Dandaw in the Back and he dropped down dying!
     Uetie and Matkins kept firing at the endless swarms of Arachnids. Matkins was quickly out of Ammo and picked up the Rifle off of the back of the lifeless body off Dandaw. He continues firing and the Rippler launched another barrage of Barbs and all of them hit Uetie in the back.
     Matkins jumped behind the Turret and pulled the trigger with one hand while holding his Rifle in the other hand firing behind him. After another ten minutes, both the Turrets had been emptied and he was on his last clip.
     "Roger Wilco? What happened to my evac?" Matkins asked into his Radio.
     There was no answer.
     "Any orbiting Starships come in!" still no answer, " any remained Trooper Units on the Planet?" No answer.
     Matkins was the last remaining Trooper on the Planet.
     His Ammo was running low. He had to fire one shot at each Bug.10 bullets..9....8...7..6..5..4...3...2...1. Click, Click. The Rifle was empty.
     Matkins shat down and waited for his death to come. He closed his eyes and waited. Yet nothing. He opened his eyes and.......
