"Sarge, Sir, they're starting to overwhelm us"
"Yes, I can see that" The sergeant returned. Looking through the binoculars he saw a group of Hydralisks take out a nearby bunker.
Turning around he browsed the sky with the binoculars.
'Where are the pods?' He thought 'They should already be evacuating... Something's not right here'
Turning around again he saw the fierce monsters walking up and over the fallen bunker. They didn't stop attacking until the structure was reduced to a pile of rubble.
'Another unmarked grave for the marines that fought here' The sargeant thought. ' This battle is over, there's no point in standing ground here '
"RETREAT!!!!" He yelled at the soldiers before him, the radio relaying the order to those in the other remaining bunkers.
Many marines turned around to stare at him with a blank look in their faces.
"Retreat to the primary structure! We have to regroup and concentrate all our forces on the defense of the colony's command center. I haven't seen any pods taking off. That means that there's something wrong at the base."
"Let's go!!! Groups alpha and beta go first. Group gamma, remain and give cover fire. Group leaders, take charge of your group"
Two marines stood up, an ran to opossite sides of the bunker door.
"Alpha! here!" Yelled one.
"Beta! With me!" Yelled the other.
The soldiers were trained to follow orders under extreme situations, and this time was no exception. Some marines got up and ran to either of the leaders, joining the members of their designated group.
One of the soldiers that was at the firing holes yelled at the remaining marines.
"Gamma group, you stay here! Spread out and try to cover every remaining firing hole"
The sergeant said to the others "Alpha , Beta, Get ready! Gamma, Cover fire NOW!!!"
"You heard the man! Gamma group, OPEN FIRE!!!" said the gamma leader.
As one all the remaing marines began to fire upon the zerg. The bunker door began to slide up, but it couldn't be heard over the bursting of the Gauss Riffles. The combined fire of the remaing bunkers mowed down the firs wave and drove back the oncoming zerg for a moment.
"Ok, Alpha, Beta , GO!!!"
Simultaneously both groups emerged for the bunker, joined by the groups coming out of the other bunkers. The leaders remained behind until the last men of their group came out. As the Beta team leader was going out his bunker, he turned around.
"Sarge, You coming with us?"
"Nah..." he said "You go to the base... See what's wrong there. I'm gonna stay here and welcome those assholes "
He clicked a control on his armor and the helmet faceplate closed down.
"Sir" The marine saluted, and turned around.
The sergeant saluted back through de visor. Turning around he checked the Vespene level in his tanks.
'70%' He thought ' I ought to do some damage with that'
Walking towards one of the remaining holes while the door closed behind him, he clicked another control, and saw that the pilot flames on each of the arm mounted flame throwers lit up.
He settled down, taking aim at a small zergling running towards the base of the bunker
'A real warm welcome...'
Flames shot from his arms, engulfing the creature. It took a few more steps screaching in paing, and colapsed into a smoldering heap.
