The APC rumbled across the red dirt, crushing the occasional rock that found its way under the APC's heavy treads. Parker studied the environmental suit he had been given. It was identical to the red miner suit he had once had but it was much cleaner, smelled nicer and was a dark green. He glanced over at Eos to see if she was doing OK. She looked a bit shaken up because of her recent cure of the plague. The plague was a horrible disease that killed off hundreds of miners. It was the creation of an evil scientist named Capek, who Parker had the pleasure of meeting and killing. Parker winced as he remembered his journey down into the labs that Capek ran, the creatures that Capek had made. Then he remembered the humans that had been turned into walking, soulless abominations to god. Parker clenched his fists, this fingers twitched. He wanted to fight, he wanted to kill. Ultor was responsible for killing thousands, he had a taste of their blood but he wanted more. Much more. His thoughts were interrupted by a voice in his com-link saying that they had almost reached the base. The APC was suddenly stopped in its tracks as an explosion rocked it.
"SHIT! We've been hit by a rocket! I can't get it to move!" yelled the pilot into the mike, "Everyone bail!"
The large ramp at the back of the APC opened and Parker, Eos and the five man squad that had picked them up trudged out the back of the APC. Parker squinted into the sunlight and saw a jeep coming at them. One of the commandoes thought it was an EDF controlled vehicle so he waved to it, hoping to get backup. All the managed to get was a bullet in the head, thanks to the guard sitting in the passenger seat with a sniper rifle. Parker grabbed the fallen soldiers Precision Rifle and zoomed in on the snipers head. A quick three rounds burst left the guard headless as his limp body rolled out of the jeep. Then Parker targeted the gunner of the jeep, but no sooner had Parker zoomed in then the gunner opened fire upon the group. Parker dove to the side, avoiding a hail of bullets form the jeeps mounted .50 cal. He regained his stance and zoomed in. He put the crosshairs right on the gunners torso, and fired a quick five round burst. The gunner flew out of the back of the jeep, five bloody holes on his chest. The driver did not want to share the same fate as his buddies so he quickly turned the jeep around. But a well placed round from a commando's fusion rocket launcher put an end to his retreat and his life. The enemy forces that had fired to rocket at them could be seen running away, seeing that they were now outgunned. Parker turned to the driver.
"Can you fix the APC?" Parker asked hopefully.
"If I had a tank tread on hand then yes, but I don't so no. Luckily the HQ is not too far from here, we can walk." Replied the driver.
Parker turned to the group and said, "OK people, we got a bit of a walk ahead of us so grab any weapons or supplies you think you'll need and be ready to move out in ten minutes."
Ten minutes latter they formed a single-file line and headed off on their journey.
That's all for now, it will get better. More action will be coming, I gotta set the plot first. Stay with me people. Madman Mac
