*United We Stand*

Chapter 1

*What's Going On?*

The GTA missiles were everywhere. The troops didn't stand a chance. "Where are the reinforcements?!" cried an Elite. His Banshee was quickly falling apart.

A small group of grunts were about to be bombed. The band's leader closed his eyes and saw his mate and baby girl, who was, in his eyes, the most beautiful child ever born. There was an explosion and he knew it was over. Then he thought to himself, I thought getting hit squarely(in the chest by a rocket would hurt more. He opened his eyes to find a large, smoldering crater. He looked up and saw his savior- a large, brown ship. He ran around and cried out with glee as the ship slowly came down and landed by his wounded comrades. The door to the ship came down and several Marines exited, followed by a few Medics.

The man in charge yelled, "Medics, get those grunts to the ship! Marines, fall out!" The Marines replied, "Sir, yes, sir!"

But to really understand this story, you have to go back about 35 years. ~~~~~~~~~~~~
