'Thinking'
"Talking"
'What the hell is that?' thought Deonne as he saw new Tyranid organisms appearing.
'We've never seen those before…they look like men but…with tentacles coming out of their heads and…' he realized what they were. They were the guardsmen of platoon XVI who were stationed on the outer guard houses. All contact had been lost two days ago.
Weariness was beginning to show on his face as he and the rest of his platoon had been fighting almost nonstop for almost eight hours now.
He grabbed his lasgun again, and he got into the line. This was likely to be the final battle of the day. The guardsmen were tired, running low on ammo and were severely weakened from the other assaults. Less then half their number remained.
"We did a good run up until now, eh?" said Deonne to Jack
Jack just replied with a tired nod of his head.
"Incoming!"
"Fire!"
The hiss of las fire was heard from miles around as the Platoon made its last stand.
OOOOOOOOOOOOO
Thump
He knew who he was
Thump
He knew what he was
Thump
A monster
Thump
He looked down at his claw
Thump
It was stained with blood
Thump
The blood of his former comrades in arms
Thump
"To War!" He screamed in the Tyranid's crude language
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Jack didn't know if he was imagining it, but he could swear he knew the Tyranid commander. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes, he must have been more tired than he realized.
"Prepare to receive a charge!"
Jack lowered his rifle. His whole life was now in the balance. It would depend on how well he could wield his rifle in close quarter fighting, and how many Tyranids there were.
He held his breath as the first Tyranids closed in.
He thrust his rifle forwards, skewering one on the end of it. Kicking it off, he was pushed to the ground by a hormogaunt.
"Argh" he grunted, trying to stop the gaunt's claws from making a kebab of him.
"Jack!" screamed Deonne, and stabbed his bayonet into the gaunt.
"Thanks, I owe you one."
"It shall be repaid by the end of this day."
Before they even had time to react, Deonne's left arm disappeared into a bloody puddle. He screamed in pain and fell back, and the half human, half Tyranid creature jumped at him. Jack felt emotion overwhelm him. He could feel the bloodlust rising, and unable to hold back any longer, he rushed the creature.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Thump
He had attacked his former comrade.
Thump
He liked it
Thump
Another one charged at him.
Thump
He couldn't dodge in time
Thump
He liked the blood off his claw.
Thump
He felt the bayonet penetrate him…yes…that was right…it was called a bayonet.
Thump
Thump
Thump
Thump
Thump
Thump
Nothing
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Deonne! You can't die on me!" exclaimed Jack.
"Jack…before I go…there's…one…thing…I need you to…do…" Wheezed out Deonne, before coughing up blood.
"What is it?"
"Tell…tell Krystal…that…I…love…her…" and with that, Deonne expired.
"DEONNE!!"
