Revenge of the Elite
Chapter 2: Entrance
'Jiramcree had placed two Elites with energy sniper rifles on both of the surrounding hill tops. Each of the two platoons of grunts was divided into 6 groups of 8 soldiers and was accompanied by 3 Jackals. The hunters were placed in the valley created by the two hills and had 4 grunts and 2 Jackals along with them. 'Jiramcree stationed himself with the grunts and Jackals. He was never one to miss a good fight.
A radio signal came to 'Jiramcree's attention. The assault had begun, and it was time for his attack. 'Jirmacree gave the orders.
"CHARGE!"
All the units except for those placed in the valley advanced head long at the human base. The human defenses drew up there positions and lined up targets. 'Jirmacree raised his right hand into the air. This was the snipers signal to open fire. Both dropped a human on the first shot. Then another pair fell, and yet 2 more. They were dead long before they could react to the deaths of their comrades. At least 30 human warriors ran out of the base.
Sanik pushed his troops forward. They all ran faster heading directly for the human base. A shot rang off his red armor's shields. They pulsed slightly, then recharged. He laughed at the human's technology. He leveled out his plasma rifle and returned fired. The troops running behind him followed his example and began to rain plasma onto the human's stronghold. An explosion rang out. Sanik wheeled to his left to see half of his advancing troops decimated, and scattered upon the ground. Enraged by their deaths, but more so at himself for underestimating the human defenses.
'Jiramcree howled into the air. He ran solo toward the base, as the rest of his group was still recovering from the blast of the anti-tank mine. He reached the encampment to be face to face with four human soldiers. The one closest to him stood just to his right. With a quick swing of his arm, 'Jiramcree eliminated that target. He had transferred his gun to his left hand. As he took out the first human, he fired at another. The human dropped to the ground smoldering from plasma burns. A quick three round burst bounced off his shields. He rushed forward, and with a strong blow he leveled the third human. He failed to see the last enemy swing behind him. Horrified when he realized his mistake, 'Jiramcree thought quickly. His foe started to bear its weapon. Sanik knew he was much faster. He shifted his feet slightly and swung around to his right and grabbed the assault rifle. Sanik brought up his plasma weapon into the gut of his foe, and fired. Four rounds tore trough armor and flesh. His enemy dropped in a heap on the floor.
By this time, his unit arrived at the fortress. He pointed toward the middle of the camp. There stood a structure that headed into the ground. He clicked his upper mandibles. That was the closest to a smile the elites gave.
