Chapter 6: Impact

"wooohooo!" I heard Flam and Freeze yell as Windrie and I made it to the top of the watchtower.

"how far till impact?" I asked Flam.

"man Freeze you rock! Oh ma'am. Uh….about 8 minutes roughly. If Freeze don't fry them all when they're on the water." Flam smirked. I looked out to see one ship sinking and one hit badly.

"excellent job corporal but I doubt you can hold them off…see?" I said, pointing out to the one boat. At least a hundred of smaller speed boats were flying towards shore.

"whoa…"

"Windrie stay here! You guys get ready! I'm going down to help when they land." I stated, running back down the ladder.

"what a brave chick." Flam laughed.

"yeah I guess…" Windrie said. I looked up from the ground to see them both watching me. I ran out of sight past our main buildings and hid behind the trees that bordered the island. Almost show time…and damn it felt good to fight again! I heard something behind me and aimed my gun behind my back, turning slowly and sighing when I saw it was only Windrie.

"what are you doing here! I told you to wait up there!" I snapped.

"yeah I know. Wait you mean that? Oh well. I don't care. You need someone to watch your back no matter how confident you may be with your skills." He said.

"fine what EV." I smirked, copying him.

"was that a smirk? Coming from Colonel Flower! Wow it's a miracle!" he whistled. I froze, putting my hand over his mouth and reaching into my pocket where my dynamite and grenades were. He silently smacked my hand and shook his head. I glared at him for a second before hearing something and then a burst of gunshots. It had started. I loaded my machine gun and crept around the trees to the docking area with Windrie right behind me with his pistol. I swear he slept with that thing. He suddenly pushed my head down, firing a few shots and leaving two guys dead a few feet in front of us. I slipped behind the trees as the rest of the guys looked around. When I heard a twig snap a few feet away, I jumped out and fired, leaving all of them dead with a few shots.

"Now then…I'm going to help those corporals on the shore. You go back to the watch tower: that's a direct order." I said, walking through the forest towards the docking area. I looked over my shoulder to see him gone. He was fast. I fired as I stepped out of the forest, helping out two struggling Sergeants and slamming the base of the gun into one's neck that was reaching for his gun that fell next to him. He was dead. I blocked another gun that almost came down on my forehead with mine. It was a big guy-at least twice my size. I pushed him back as hard as I could but he wouldn't move. I smiled at him before kicking him hard in his abdomen. He dropped his gun for a second, stopping over holding his abs. I was about to slam my gun into his neck but he grabbed my foot, pulling hard towards him. I fell backwards, losing my balance. He grabbed his gun and aimed it at my head. Was it just me or did it seem silent all around me. They all knew-even the enemy-that I was the C.O. here. No way I was dying so easily! I turned my head sharply to the right, cracking my neck painfully as he fired. Pain shot from my ear. I felt it, the bullet had grazed the top. I whirl kicked him and jumped up, planting my feet on his nose and then pushing off, jumping backwards and landing on my hands, doing a flip backwards so I was even farther away from him. There was a lovely boot print right across his face. Ha, ha, ha. He lunged at me again, but I moved. He fell face first into the sand and I slammed the base of his gun into his neck. He was out of my hair finally. I smiled, but it didn't last long. I felt a gun drop down from my face and someone held the trigger into my neck, locking my neck up. I was pinned.
