Chapter XII: More trouble for Hein
Sergeant Bowser and Squad Alpha were exploring what was left of the small town Hein.
"Keep your eyes peeled!" shouted Bowser.
"This place is a little trashed..." muttered Seth James. "I should have been around to help Jack."
"Its okay," James Rocco said. "Not everyone gets their chance."
"What are we gonna find here, anyway?" Corporal Willems joined them. "Its not like Blue Moon would come back here, unless they wanted to try another pathetic attempt to take Hein over."
Corporal Ervant and Private Den jumped into the ditch.
"Man... someone caused some trouble in here," Ervant said, spotting a blood stain on the wood-panelled side.
"And look at all those bodies..." Private Den said.

Colonel Grant lowered his binoculars and turned to his troops.
"Troops, prepare to charge!" he said.
There was a small line of Blue Moon Troops, around twenty. Captain Ramzini stood with Colonel Grant, both holding a revolver.
"On your mark, Captain," Grant said, looking at the young man.
Ramzini turned to the small town of Hein, waited a few seconds, then yelled out clearly: "Charge!"
The Blue Moon soldiers charged, loading their machine guns and rifles.
"Think they'll win this time?" James asked the Colonel.
"We have twenty. They have about eight. What do you think the odds are?" Grant said obviously. "Do the math, Captain."
---
Sergeant Bowser was the first to notice the Blue Moon Troops. "Soldiers, into the ditch! Move!"
Everyone jumped into the ditch quickly.
"Whats going down?" asked Private Atserya.
"Quiet!" Bowser said, looking up. "Blue Moon Troops. At least fifteen."
"Damn!" swore James under his breath. "I knew there'd be trouble."
They fell silent as they heard the Blue Moon soldiers lose their pace.
"Where the hell are they?" said a voice.
"Colonel Grant was probably on crack," said another. "Theres nobody here."
"Shut up, Coates," another voice said. "I hear something."
The Orange Star Soldiers looked around. Nobody was making noise.
Then they heard it. There was some kind of shuffling going on up on ground level.
"What is it?" said a voice after a moment.
A gunshot was heard. Then, more voices.
"Heh, it was just an animal."
"Lets get the hell out of here."
"I'm with that!"
Bowser took a peek, then went back against the wall.
"They're going back," he whispered. "One the count of three, we'll take them by surprise."
"Got it, sarge," whispered Seth.
"Ready?" Bowser asked. "One... two... three... go!"
They all climbed out of the ditch as fast as they could. As soon as the first Blue Moon Troop turned around, they opened fire. Around five of them were killed. The others were faster at using their weapons.
"Split!" Sergeant Bowser and several others ran behind a house for cover, the remainder running behind a different one. Private Atserya was shot down by several machine gun bullets.
Corporal Willems jumped out from his corner and fired, killing two Blue Moon troops. But he paid a price, that price being a shot to the chest. He fell out from behind the house and began twitching on the ground.
"Charge!" The Orange Star Soldiers charged out, taking the Blue Moon ones by surprise. about three were shot down as they went backwards, retalliating with their own weapons. Private Den was killed in the process.
Corporal Ervant gunned down two soldiers, then turned to the rest, who were being shot by Bowser, Seth, and James.
"Guys! They're falling back!" he shouted.
"Give them hell! They deserve more than just that!" Sergeant Bowser shouted.
---
Colonel Grant was appalled.
"What the hell's going on?!" he shouted.
"They took us by surprise!" one of the soldiers. "They were- ack!"
He was shot down by Sergeant Bowser's rifle.
"Damnit!" Grant turned on Captain Ramzini. "Your men failed!"
"But-" Ramzini started, but was cut short.
"Move it along, before you get shot yourself!"
---
There were only three Blue Moon Troops, who were dropping their weapons and begging for mercy.
"We surrender! We surrender!"
Two of them were shot down. The last one fell to his knees, his hands up.
"For the love of God! We surren-"
Sergeant Bowser shot him in the head, silencing him.
"These men were about to surrender!" Seth shouted in disbelief.
"What we did wasn't half of what they did to us," Corporal Ervant said.
"That doesn't matter!" Seth said. "Do what they do and you'll be no better! We are better men than this."
Before Corporal Ervant could protest any further, Sergeant Bowser cut him off.
"He's right, Corporal. From now on, we take prisoners. We cannot be blinded by war. Now move out."
The soldiers hesitated, then followed him back through the town.
