A Sniper's Adventure Pt.2
Much to my shock and awe he was still alive, and I could have sworn he was smiling under that visor. My shields were paper thin and knew I couldn't live after another magnum attack so I primed another grenade and let it fly, it stuck. He started to fire running at me ignoring the grenade sticking to his shoulder.
I didn't have much time. I turned and ran and jumped off the cliff while the grenade exploded behind me taking out the rest of my shields.
"I can't believe it," I said, "I'm still frickin' alive!" Since I was so close I took the opportunity to run back to base to get more sniping ammo. I returned back to the cave and decided to set up on the big hill in between the cave and the forest. (players know what I'm talking about) There was only about a minute and a half left. We were down 3 to 4. I peered into the quiet world that my scope brought to me. I saw Tom and Brian making their way back to the base with the flag, but they were being attacked! Brian got taken down with sub-machine gun fire and I knew that this shot would give us a chance to win. I steadied myself took aim and let loose 2 rounds. The first one was a little high but the second one was right on target. The opponent slumped down onto a rock covered with blood, gray matter, and bone fragments. "Run!" I yelled to Tom.
Meanwhile at our base, "John where is that shotgun you had?" Yelled Brian.
"It's out of ammo," replied John.
"Well then get another weapon!"
"But, all I have is a magnum!"
"What the heck are you doing with a magnum?"
"I don't know. I like handguns."
"Oh, forget it. Ah, Crap he's getting away in a ghost."
"Charles, we need you to take the best shot you will ever take in your life"
"What do you mean"
"Someone has the flag, he got away in a ghost, and we only have one minute left"
"What? That's crazy"
"Well you've got to do it"
"But h"
"Shut up and turn on your scope, he's coming your way."
Perfect, the shot that could decide the game and it impossible. I had to take it though, and I was our last hope. "Oh man," I said as I saw him through my scope.
He was using his turbo and popping a wheelie to boot.
"That stupid, smug, jerk," I muttered. I suddenly found myself overcome with a new coolness. I wanted to take him down. I wanted to kill him. I used all my past sniping skills and training which took many years to hone. I gave him a lead then took the shot. I missed the spartan, but did something even better. I hit and detonated the energy core of the ghost, sending him flying off the vehicle he once so proudly rode. I shouted with excitement. I took another look at the target I had shot down, and realized he was still alive. That's right Brian told me he had an overshield. I only had one round left and quickly shot it. I smiled with satisfaction while watching him fall to his knees into a pool of blood. Suddenly my ears became filled with a sound so unbearable I had to rip of my head set. "Charles, that was frickin' amazing, I can't believe it"
"Yeah, Charles you're the best sniper I have ever seen"
"Thanks guys."
Till' this day I still search for a worthy opponent but I still have yet to find one.
THE END
Yep that's it. I hope you liked this one. R&R. I wanted you to know that most of this story is fiction, but I really did blow up a ghost going on boost. In your reviews please tell me what a beta is. Also, read my Halo song parodies.
