I ran down the stairs followed by my team. Halfway down I saw all of Wrath flanked by Hork-Bajiar being led to the Pool.

"For Earth!" I yelled and ran down the stair firing at the Hork-Bajiar and hitting most of them. Every member of wrath then ran down the steps screaming.

"Andilates!" Karen yelled. "We're under attack!" Fred finished off the last of the Hork-Bajiar and we ran into the pool itself. When I got there I again thought that this must be what Hell looks like. The rust colored pool in the center. The cages the Hork-Bajiar running around… the screams.

"FUCKING slugs…"

"Evil devils."
"When I get out of here I'm going to feed you your little slug dicks…"

"Get away from me; don't make me go back please I'll give you…"

"Stop please, please."

"Free, let me go you over grown lizard…"

"Hey blades for brains, when I get outta here…" I tuned it out. I tuned on my HUD and began to fire.

"Scorn attack!" I yelled and pulled off my mask. Gunshots rang out; I saw blood go flying in every direction from the hits we got.

"Shit, launch a counter attack!" I heard a human say, and I saw robots with dracon beams for arms begin to come to life and attack. Tseww, Tseww.

"Take out those druids!" I yelled. I fired my AK at the one that was heading for me. It broke apart. I began to fight towards the cages. A group Hork-Bajiar got in my way. I fired off an entire clip, and that cleared a way. I reloaded in time to fire another clip at yet another group. I heard other gunshots all around, then Cassie's voice.

"C-4 placed two to go!" I kept on running towards the cages. I met no more resistance. When I got there I was met by yells of joy.

"Whoo hoo get those faggots big man!" A tall thin black boy was yelling. I decided he was my best bet for giving a gun to. I pressed a button on his cage, the door swung open.

"Here," I threw the gun at him. "Use some of that rage blow away all the aliens but don't shoot any humans because you may hit one of my team, and here." I threw all the wrist bands at him he caught them too. "Free the others and give them one of these so they don't get shot.

"Can be done, man, oh God, I never thought this would happen, I'm free." He hugged me. "Carlos Santos is the name pleased to meet you."

"Hey hey we can have a party after I finish my job just start opening cages."

"Consider it done." He said. I ran off and decided to do something to really take attention off anything but our team. I ran toward the pool took aim and began shooing directly into it. I saw dead Yerk's bubble up to the top.

"Get him, Get him." Tseww Tseww. Two shots missed me. I reloaded fired in the direction the shots came from, no more came. Suddenly I felt myself fly through the air and into the pool.

I was pulled out. And led into a room. I could still hear the shots being fired outside.

"You there what's your name." I saw a man in military fatigues he was staring me in my face. I quickly realized that I still had my gun…how could that, then I knew it, they thought I was a controller now. "What is your hosts name then? Do you know that? Have you taken control yet answer the fucking question, we need information."

"My name is Fook U."

"That's an oriental name, you don't look oriental to me, your host is lying to you, don't you remember training Yerk, never trust your." I shot him.

"No I meant to say my name is Erik, Fuck You!" I ran out the door to the room and back into the fray. I tapped my lip.

"Erik's back how long have I been gone."

"Ten minutes man," I heard Marcos voice. "didn't miss much but everyone is on their second placement but Jerry's got a problem he's been cornered in one of his placement spots by a bunch of Hork-Bajiar you should go help him." I looked around I saw Hork-Bajiar trying to stay out of a spitting cobra's strike zone. I saw a tiger ripping a Taxxon to shreds. I saw a cape buffalo and a hippo attack a group of Hork-Bajiar and I saw Jerry firing wildly at a group of Hork-Bajiar that had cornered him in a cage. He fired killing a few of them. He must have picked up the gun from a body oh well.

"Come get some ass wipes," He fired again taking out another group. "Come on." A lucky shot was fired a dracon beam hit him square in the chest, a hole appeared and I could see clear through it.

"NOOOOOO!" I yelled. "Jerry!" I ran towards where he was, clearing out the Hork-Bajiar with a well placed burst of ammo. I ran in and drug his body out. I felt for a pulse even though I knew it was useless. That made two of my team dead. I was furious now. I picked up his gun and ammo and reentered the battle. I could morn later now I had to finish my job, I would not fail. I would let my friend die in vain.

"Second charge placed!" I heard Karen say. I was firing at every person I saw without green dot on my HUD. My running and shooting eventually brought me to a rock wall. When I turned to run back I was hit in the face, I dropped my gun and looked for the person who had hit me.

"Andilate bastard what are you hoping to accomplish" I couldn't believe what I saw.

"Hey asshole what have you got against the guy from nam that worked for you in the hotel." The man pinned me to the wall. He turned his neck slightly and I saw two huge scars I also saw that they had tiny electro transmitters on them, the Yerk's must have repaired the damage

"So you're the Andilate who bit my neck and left me, paralyzed, to die. If it weren't for the rescue party I would have died to. I felt a pain in my belly. I Saw a knife in the mans hand.

"Quick lesson on human anatomy tail blade for brains." he said I saw that the knife was diamond it went through the Kevlar like it was nothing. "Under the stomach is a crucial vein and if it's severed you would bleed out faster than you could morph." The pain got worse. I saw blood come from my stomach. "Yes, Yes you can feel it can't you Andilate, enjoy the pain… Not much furth…" His eyes opened wide he let go and pulled the knife out he took a stab at the person who had jammed the inch long jagged rock into his back but he missed. He fell on his face and died. I shot him in the head to make sure he was really dead and then looked at my rescuer.

I was shocked at what I saw…
